Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Xie Tingyu asked Xie Qingli why he was so depressed and committed suicide?

Chunya's eyes widened with anger. This man was so rude. He slandered the young lady for committing suicide with just a few words. The young lady was smart and wise, unparalleled in the world. No problem could stump her. How could she do such a stupid thing?

Xie Qingli replied, "To be honest, I recently learned that the parents who raised me were not my biological parents, and I was switched by a villain right after I was born. I came to the city to look for my adoptive father, but he knew the truth but refused to tell me. Just now, I looked out the window and felt that the world was so vast. I probably will never have the chance to meet and know my biological parents again in this life. I was so depressed that I jumped from the building." Her voice was gentle and crisp, but she could not hide her sadness.

Chunya sighed slightly in her heart. The young lady started to talk nonsense again. Thinking of Mrs. Zhang who was sold, she couldn't help but look at Xie Tingyu with some sympathy. She wondered how miserably this man would be deceived.

Xie Tingyu frowned slightly. "Being separated from one's family is indeed a great misfortune in life. But seeing how elegantly dressed the young lady is, I think her adoptive parents must have treated her well. Why should we cling to so-called blood relatives?"

Chunya was filled with righteous indignation and couldn't help but interrupt, "My master and mistress are Miss's newly anointed godparents, not Miss's black-hearted adoptive parents. Miss suffered a lot growing up with them. If Miss had grown up in front of my mistress, she would definitely be raised to be plump and fair, not as thin as she is now."

Xie Qingli smiled sadly. Perhaps no one knew that her mother was her obsession in both lives! She curled her lips and said, "Life is short, like a fleeting moment. If I don't even know my biological parents, and live my life in confusion, how would I be any different from a summer insect?"

Xie Tingyu was shocked when he heard this. If he were in this situation, he probably wouldn't be able to let it go. He said something stupid again and his face suddenly turned red.

Xie Qingli asked casually, "Where are you from, sir? Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Jiazhou Prefecture."

"My family is in Shengjing City, and I grew up in Shengjing City. In the past two years, I have been working in Amaterasu Prefecture northwest of Dongling." Xie Tingyu did not doubt him and told him everything.

Xie Qingli's gem-like eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth lifted high, as if she had heard great news. "Young Master, you are from Shengjing? That's great. I was originally born in Shengjing, but the mountains are high and the roads are long. My adoptive father refused to tell me the names of my biological parents. I felt that I had no way out, so I became depressed." She clasped her hands together and said, "However, God is kind and has allowed me to meet you. I wonder if you can help me find out a little bit?"

Xie Qingli was worried that if she told Xie Tingyu directly, "I'm your sister," he would either be scared away or suspect her of ulterior motives. Therefore, she laid the groundwork and gently coaxed him into a conversation, finally bringing it to this point. She breathed a sigh of relief. Acting is so tiring!

Xie Tingyu had said the wrong things many times today. To him, what Xie Qingli asked for was just a piece of cake, so he naturally agreed to it.

Xie Qingli pulled out the jade pendant from her neck, rubbed it gently, and said with sadness in her voice: "Now, this is the only token that can prove my identity. My real name is Xie Qingli. It was the name my mother gave me before she gave birth to me. She also carved this jade pendant with her own hands and stuffed it into my hand after I was born. I was ignorant and held the jade pendant tightly, so the bad guys didn't notice it." She stretched out her hand and handed the jade pendant to Xie Tingyu, feeling reluctant to let it go.

The three words "Xie Qingli" were like a thunderclap, splitting Xie Tingyu's mind. His head was buzzing, and he stared at Xie Qingli in astonishment. He saw Xie Qingli's lips moving, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. A voice in his heart exclaimed, "No wonder this face looked so familiar. It turned out to be too similar to his mother's. It was as if his mother, a young woman, had appeared before him."

Xie Tingyu clearly remembered that at his sister Xie Qingyao's sixth birthday, his mother was upset and very angry. His father Xie Jingyuan had long been indifferent to his mother, and his grandmother even put on the airs of an elder and scolded his mother. Only he accompanied and comforted his mother. His mother leaned on his tender shoulders and cried unrestrainedly. His mother no longer treated him as a child, and poured out to him the doubts, speculations and depression that had been accumulating in her heart.

Ever since the day my sister was born, my mother had suspected she wasn't her child. Though frail during childbirth, she clearly remembered placing a jade pendant engraved with my sister's name in her hand and teasing her for a while before falling asleep. But upon waking, she felt the child was different, and the jade pendant had vanished without a trace.

Even more horrifying was the fact that all the maids and servants who had been serving in the delivery room that night died that same night. Their causes of death varied widely: some fell, some jumped into the lake in despair, some were poisoned by their daughters-in-law, and some even died of anger after losing money in gambling. These seemingly natural deaths were, in fact, too coincidental, especially for the maids and servants who had served my mother for years. My mother knew their personalities well and could not believe they would die in such a way.

However, after several days of investigation at the Dali Temple, the final conclusion was that it was just a coincidence. Rumors even spread in Shengjing that the Jing'an Marquis's mansion was haunted by evil spirits. This incident further intensified my mother's suspicions.

After a long struggle, my mother finally shared her suspicions with my father and grandmother, but they scoffed. They thought it was just a girl; who would go to the trouble of switching children? And the missing jade pendant was most likely stolen by a dishonest servant.

My mother originally named my sister "Xie Qingli". My father thought that everyone involved in my sister's birth was dead and this name was unlucky, so he renamed my sister "Xie Qingyao".

My mother has been tormented by this incident for years, and she has been depressed. She has gradually drifted away from my father, and now they are strangers.

As Xie Qingyao grew older, she looked neither like her mother nor her father, and her mother became increasingly suspicious that she was not her daughter. It wasn't until Xie Qingyao's sixth birthday that her mother could no longer bear it. Looking at Xie Qingyao, adorned with stars, dressed in splendid attire, her hair adorned with pearls and jade, she thought of the daughter she had risked her life to give birth to. She wondered if she was rich or poor, warm or cold, full or hungry, alive or dead...

Xie Tingyu took the jade pendant in a daze. He was very familiar with the beautiful and powerful handwriting on the jade pendant.

His mother's suspicions were correct; the girl before him was his true sister! Xie Tingyu couldn't wait to fly back to Shengjing to tell his mother the good news. But matters of bloodline couldn't be compromised. His father and grandmother certainly wouldn't acknowledge his sister based on a jade pendant alone. It would have been much better if they had other supporting evidence.

Xie Qingli saw Xie Tingyu's recent loss of composure clearly, and she believed that Xie Tingyu must know something about her. But at this moment, Xie Tingyu's brows were furrowed, and she didn't know why. She suppressed her anxiety and asked worriedly, "I'm asking you to help me find out some information. Is there anything that's difficult for you?"

Xie Tingyu hesitated and said, "After all, this jade pendant is just a personal possession. Anyone can use it to claim kinship. I wonder if the young lady has any other evidence, such as a birthmark..."

Xie Tingyu suddenly had an idea. His mother told him that she had heard the midwife tell the maid that the newborn child had a red birthmark on his back, resembling a phoenix with its wings spread. She believed the child would be extremely noble in the future. When his mother woke up, she discovered that her sister had no birthmark on her back, which only intensified her suspicions.

So, does the woman in front of me have a birthmark?
