Cheng Yi, who had changed her clothes, was forcibly carried by several maids to the main hall of the courtyard. It was not until she saw the familiar faces kneeling in the candlelit hall, as well as Liang and Deputy General Cheng sitting at the top with frosty faces, that she could no longer help but shudder.

"Father, Mother~" [Cheng Yi] squeezed out two tears with grievance.

When Deputy General Cheng saw the person coming, he put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her seriously, snorted coldly, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

Liang had obviously been crying, and her eyes were as sinister as if filled with poison, as if she wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart.

[Cheng Yi] was forced to kneel in front of the two men. The pain in her knees immediately made her realize that her long-planned plan had been discovered by Liang.

She tried hard to look innocent and aggrieved, and looked at her parents in front of her with tears in her eyes.

"Father, Mother, what did Sister Yi do wrong? Why—"

"Shut up!" Before she could finish, Liang cut her off ruthlessly and slammed the table in anger, "After all this, you still dare to impersonate my sister Yi'er."

Liang's sudden outburst startled Deputy General Cheng beside her. He knew that the eldest lady was worried about the second girl, and as a father, he was also worried about the missing child.

The lady, who had always been calm, suddenly had an outburst, which caught everyone off guard.

Nanny Zhu was afraid that the lady would get angry and hurt herself, so she hurried over and gently patted her back.

Ever since he was brought here, Cheng Yi knew that Liang had seen through everything, but he still looked puzzled and doubtful.

Anyway, she was in a posture of refusing to admit her guilt: "Mother, you, your daughter doesn't understand what you are saying~"

"I don't understand?" Liang suppressed her lip and looked at her coldly: "Even now, you still don't repent. Tell me, where is my sister Yi? Where did you hide her?"

After Liang said this, she was about to stand up and rush forward. Deputy General Cheng was so scared that he quickly winked at Nanny Zhu.

Deputy General Cheng was not worried that the Madam would hurt the child. After all, the Madam was the mother of the family and she couldn't lose her composure in front of the servants.

"Madam~" Nanny Zhu was quick to grasp Liang's arm and help her sit back on the Luohan chair. "Madam, please calm down. Now that the truth is clear and there are witnesses, there is no point in letting the young lady deny it with empty teeth."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Cheng glanced at the people kneeling in front of him.

Among them were the maid who returned to the mansion with the old lady, the maids and servants in the side courtyard, Lu Huan, and the itinerant doctor who had been hiding in the mansion for some time.

If the lady had not pulled these people out before he rushed back to the mansion, Lieutenant General Cheng would not have believed that such a big mess had occurred within the inner courtyard of his Cheng Mansion.

And all of these were done by his good daughter Cheng Hua. Of course, Cheng Hua, a girl trapped in the boudoir, could not do so many things, and there must be someone secretly helping her.

Lieutenant General Cheng was unwilling to believe it, but the facts were there and he had to accept it. He was even more disappointed with his old mother's ignorance.

But he just couldn't understand how the eldest concubine's daughter could switch herself with her legitimate sister under the nose of the eldest lady. Although he hadn't seen this concubine's daughter for two years, the eldest lady and Sister Yi were together day and night, so how could she not notice the clues?

If one's temperament can be imitated, then the appearance will always be different.

Deputy General Cheng had just thought of this when the gatekeeper came to announce: "Master, Madam, Miss Yuming from Changsheng Island is here."

Upon hearing this, Liang and Deputy General Cheng raised their eyes and saw Yu Ming leading his close associate Zuo Jun into the hall, followed by Ming Ye and Ming Yang.

"My daughter greets Deputy General Cheng and Madam Liang." Yu Ming bowed with great propriety.

Liang unexpectedly stood up to greet her: "Ming girl, why are you here?"

Yu Ming looked at the scene in the hall and understood clearly in his heart: "To answer Madam Liang, it was my aunt who asked me to come. She also asked me to bring you a letter, saying that you would understand the strangeness of this matter after reading it."

Liang was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Lady Li also knew that something had happened in the mansion. She took the letter from Yu Ming unexpectedly and eagerly.

Liang opened the letter and read ten lines at a glance. Tears could not stop flowing down her face. Her heart was broken. Finally, she glared fiercely at Cheng Hua who was acting pretentiously in front of her.

"What a sinister plot! I took pity on you, a concubine's daughter, so the master let you stay in the mansion. I never thought that you would become the one who harmed my daughter."

Liang's words made Deputy General Cheng feel embarrassed and depressed. Feeling guilty, he took the letter from the lady's hand out of curiosity.

It would have been fine if he hadn't read it, but after he finished reading the letter, he took a deep breath in disbelief.

These three words, [Disguise], are known to everyone, but he has never seen them before.

Soon, Deputy General Cheng set his eyes on the thin itinerant doctor. What else did he not understand?

Furious, he pointed at the itinerant doctor and shouted, "Come here, drag this man out and beat him to death with sticks."

"Yes."

The itinerant doctor was so frightened that he trembled, his face changed drastically, and he begged for mercy: "No, don't kill me, I don't know anything, I just took the money to do the job, I know I was wrong--"

No matter how the itinerant doctor begged for mercy, he was quickly gagged by two soldiers and carried out of the hall.

From a distance, Cheng Hua could still hear the crackling sound of the board and the low whimpering of the itinerant doctor outside, and he shivered with fear.

She quickly came to her senses and cried to Deputy General Cheng for mercy: "Father, I didn't do it. It's not me. It has nothing to do with me~."

Deputy General Cheng looked at Cheng Hua again at this time, and felt extremely regretful. He should have sent the concubine's daughter to the manor.

"Don't you know? Everything you did was meticulously planned, starting with the disguise. You schemed and planned every step of the way, scheming and manipulating to replace your sister. At such a young age, you've learned the methods of the underworld to harm people, and you still dare to cry out for justice!"

Cheng Hua bit her lip and shook her head desperately, consciously showing weakness to gain forgiveness and make her father soften his attitude towards her again.

Liang couldn't care less. Her sister Yi'er's whereabouts were unknown, and the only clue she could get was from this little bitch. "Come here, tie her up for me. If she doesn't tell me the truth about Sister Yi's whereabouts tonight, I will personally finish you off, bitch."

Deputy General Cheng was shocked when he heard the voice and blinked in disbelief: "Madam!"

"What's wrong?" Liang's eyes were red as she turned around and glanced at Deputy General Cheng coldly: "Master, are you distressed? Then why don't you feel sorry for my sister Yi? Isn't my sister Yi your own flesh and blood?"

Deputy General Cheng knew that the Madam had misunderstood him, and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, Madam. After all, Sister Hua is also..."

"Shut up!" Liang's eyes were red with anger as she glared at him. "Today, I, Liang, am making a harsh statement. It's all up to you if my sister Yi returns safely. Otherwise, I will make your Cheng family regret keeping this little bitch."

Ding~

Liang's words immediately made Deputy General Cheng's throat choke.
