Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the corner of the sky red, and the gorgeous sunset glow was picturesque.

Xie Tingyu was in a state of uneasy emotion. After walking all the way, his chest was still filled with great joy. He desperately wanted to find an outlet to vent his emotions. He needed to share his feelings with others. When he returned to the government office, he went straight to Chu Yuncang's study.

Chu Yuncang was in a bad mood today, and the whole yard was filled with a low pressure. The shadow guards were tiptoeing around when doing things, fearing that they would be punished by their master if they were not careful.

But Xie Tingyu was completely oblivious to this anomaly. He strode briskly into Chu Yuncang's study, his steps brisk, his lips curled up, his brows brimming with joy. The joy emanating from his body was like a surging tide, enough to overwhelm everyone within a few miles. The shadow guards at the gate breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Xie was truly brave; he was the only one who dared to offend his master.

Xie Tingyu sat directly in front of Chu Yuncang and looked at him with a smile. He was like a big dog wagging its tail wildly, as if saying, "Master, master, look at me."

Chu Yuncang looked at Xie Tingyu, wondering why he had lost his usual calm and wise demeanor. He wondered if a dog had taken over his home. Thinking of Xie Tingyu strolling the streets all day while he was trapped in this small courtyard, where even admiring the flowers in the courtyard would be interrupted, he said with a hint of sarcasm: "Brother Tingyu went to buy a gift for Auntie, left at 9:00 PM, and returned at 8:00 PM. He had nothing in his hands, but his face was full of smiles. Why?"

From the moment Xie Tingyu walked into the door, he was waiting for Chu Yuncang to ask a question. At this moment, he couldn't wait to say, "I found the gift my mother wanted most. Of course I'm happy!" He had a silly smile on his face and didn't notice that Chu Yuncang was trying hard to suppress his unhappiness at this moment.

After a pause, seeing that Chu Yuncang did not ask any further questions, Xie Tingyu could not help but say, "Yuncang, I met my sister on the street today. My biological sister, the daughter my mother has been thinking about for more than ten years."

Chu Yuncang's curiosity was finally piqued, and he asked doubtfully, "Hasn't your sister been kept in the mansion? Why is she here?"

Xie Tingyu said angrily: "The one raised in the Marquis' Mansion is not my biological sister!"

Seeing Chu Yuncang's puzzled face, he explained, "My sister was switched by a villain on the day she was born. The fake sister raised in the Marquis' Mansion has been living a life of luxury, surrounded by servants, while my real sister has been stranded in this remote village, suffering untold hardships. That villain was truly despicable! But, thankfully, I happened to meet my sister today, otherwise I don't know what hardships she would have to endure in the future."

In Jiazhou Prefecture, thousands of miles from Shengjing City, Xie Tingyu ran into his own sister while casually strolling the streets? How could such a coincidence happen? But when it was too coincidental, it wasn't just a coincidence; it was the work of someone with a purpose. His eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother Tingyu, how can you be sure that's your sister?"

Xie Tingyu smiled and said, "My sister looks very much like my mother, and she has a jade pendant carved by my mother in her hand. It was given to her by my mother on the day she gave birth."

Chu Yuncang didn't know why the shrewd and wise Xie Tingyu was so trusting today, so he kindly reminded him, "Brother Tingyu, you must know that people are treacherous. This world is so big, and there are so many people who look alike. Brother Tingyu recognized the so-called sister based on her appearance and a jade pendant. I'm afraid you have been deceived by a treacherous person!"

Xie Tingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yuncang. Besides what I just said, I have other ways to verify it. But since it concerns my daughter's reputation, I can't tell you."

He sighed, "I've only been with my sister for half a day, and I've already discovered we have similar personalities and endless things to talk about. This is the kind of relationship that only siblings can have, right? No wonder I can't get close to that fake sister at home."

On the surface, the royal princes and princesses were friendly and affectionate with each other, but in reality, they were fighting openly and secretly, and deceiving each other. Even Chu Yuncang's only sister, Princess Fu'an, although they had a close relationship when they were young, they each set up their own homes when they grew up and rarely got together. Therefore, Chu Yuncang did not quite understand what Xie Tingyu said about blood ties.

Xie Tingyu was so trusting of the so-called sister he had just met that Chu Yuncang suspected that Xie Tingyu had also been poisoned. He asked in a deep voice, "Brother Tingyu, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Xie Tingyu had already thought of everything and immediately replied, "I will write a letter to my mother immediately and send it back to the Marquis' Mansion as quickly as possible. I believe my mother will be eager to come and pick me up."

Chu Yuncang knew that the Jiang family had a secret messaging post, and it only took two or three days to send news back to Shengjing City from here, which was more than twice as fast as the official express post of 800 miles.

This secret messenger is only used when the Jiang family is in danger or when important information is to be transmitted. In that strange dream, they were being chased, and Xie Tingyu had taught him how to use it.

Now, Chu Yuncang was very puzzled as to why this secret stake was used for a country girl.

He paused for a moment before speaking, "Brother Tingyu's sister has lived in the countryside since she was a child. Can she adapt to the life of a noblewoman in Shengjing? How can she integrate into their circle? Taking her back may not be a good idea."

"That's not to worry about. Although my sister lives in the countryside, she's incredibly intelligent, generous, and outstanding in every way. Aside from her delicate body, she's no worse than the noble ladies in the capital. So what if she can't fit in with the noble ladies' circle? With my mother and the Jiang family protecting her, who would dare to bully her?"

The corners of Chu Yuncang's mouth twitched. In Xie Tingyu's mind, a country girl could actually be on par with the noble ladies in Beijing. If those noble ladies knew about this, they would probably be ashamed and angry to death.

Xie Tingyu thought that the affairs of Jiazhou Mansion were almost settled, and he planned to set off to return to the northwest in two days. However, the people from the Marquis Mansion could not come for a while, and he was worried about leaving his sister here alone, so he said to Chu Yuncang: "Yuncang, after I leave, please help take care of my sister. I will be very grateful!"

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly: "It's just a piece of cake, don't worry, Brother Tingyu!" He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to investigate this suspicious woman.

Xie Tingyu cupped his hands in gratitude. Looking at Chu Yuncang's face, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, "Yuncang, I have to tell you this beforehand. This is my sister, whom I have finally found. I will not allow her to marry into the royal family. You and I both know what life is like for women who marry into the royal family."

"My sister's life was too hard before, and I don't want her to have another hard life in the future. When she reaches the age of 15, I will help her find a marriage with a family of good character and simple family background, so that she can live happily for the rest of her life."

"So, although my sister is very good, you can't like her. Otherwise, you won't be able to get past me, not to mention my mother and the Jiang family." Xie Tingyu blurted out everything in his mind. For the sake of his sister's future, he spoke frankly.

Looking at Xie Tingyu's nervous look as he protected his little cabbage and was careful not to be bullied by the pig, Chu Yuncang curled his lips and smiled. Xie Tingyu's worry was completely unnecessary. Now, the only thing in his mind was that beautiful and martial arts-skilled woman. How could he fall in love with a village girl?

Chu Yuncang solemnly promised: "Brother Tingyu, don't worry. I, Chu Yuncang, will never fall in love with your sister in this life, let alone marry her as my concubine."

Chu Yuncang always kept his word, so Xie Tingyu felt relieved. He said loudly, "A gentleman's word is his bond..."

"I must guard it for my whole life!" Chu Yuncang skillfully continued the next sentence. Like when they were children, they both stretched out their palms at the same time and struck three times in a row. Promise!

The tacit understanding between the two was restored, and Chu Yuncang was very happy. He didn't know that if Chu Yuncang could travel back to this moment a month later, he would definitely want to slap those three palms on his face.

Thinking of Xie Tingyu's village sister, Chu Yuncang's mind suddenly flashed back to Huang Ping's goose-like face from that afternoon. If the prefect's daughter was like this, how much more so was a country girl? What if Xie Tingyu's sister fell in love with him and insisted on marrying him? Wouldn't that mean he would have to break his promise? How would Brother Tingyu cope with that?

Chu Yuncang knew that his face was outstanding, so in order to avoid provoking the wrong people, he said softly, "I won't personally take care of your sister. I'll let Liuguang take full responsibility. I wonder if Brother Tingyu is at ease?"

Xie Tingyu glanced at Chu Yuncang's face, and thought of the crazy women at the government office gate these days. He couldn't help but shudder. Although his sister was smart and wise, it was hard to guarantee that she would not be deceived by beauty. He nodded repeatedly: "This arrangement is better. Liuguang is steady and prudent. I feel completely relieved to have him take charge."

So, the two of them reached a tacit agreement on this matter...
