The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"What adopted daughter?"

Lady Ruan, the Duchess, did not attend Yu Ningyao's first birthday celebration.

Don't know what happened.

Although Lady He Yunqing, the Crown Prince's wife, did not go, the story of the fake Taoist priest was widely known, so she naturally knew about it as well.

"Mother, do you remember the fake Taoist priest I mentioned before?" He Yunqing quickly told her what she knew.

"Although that Taoist priest admitted that he was a fraud, that child went to the princess's residence and caused the prince consort to die. I heard that Princess Ning Le also lost her unborn child. That adopted daughter of the third branch of the Marquis's family is definitely not a good person. You must not let Yuan Zhi marry her."

Lady Ruan was surprised that the marriage arranged by the Imperial Concubine was so unreliable, and her face turned ugly.

"But this marriage was personally arranged by the Imperial Concubine, and your father has also agreed. I'm afraid..."

Before she could finish speaking, He Yunqing understood what she meant.

If the Imperial Concubine agrees to this, it will be difficult for her to refuse.

"I understand, mother."

He Yunqing lowered her head dejectedly.

The Marquis's household was unaware of the Imperial Concubine's arranged marriage.

Yu Ningyao learned from the system that the Imperial Concubine had refused, so she didn't take it to heart.

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Yu Ziying was the first to rush over to visit her.

"Little sister, little sister, do you still remember me?"

“My dear baby, my dear baby, it’s your third brother.”

"My lovely little one, shall I play with you, dear brother?"

He was like a little chatterbox, constantly circling around Yu Ningyao.

Yu Ningyao was so annoyed by him that she couldn't help but cover her ears.

Her action made Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu burst into laughter.

"Alright, Ziying, shut up. Can't you see your sister thinks you're being noisy? Go back to your room and rest. Come find your sister to play later." Yu Kangjing grabbed his youngest son's ear.

"No, no, I'm afraid my sister will disappear again when I wake up. I want to stick to my sister." Yu Ziying hugged Yu Ningyao tightly and wouldn't let go.

"I told my third brother I have a younger sister, but they didn't believe me. They insisted that my sister wasn't their biological child, that she was thrown out of the family, and that I only have Weiwei as my sister from now on." He said angrily, wishing he could immediately hug Yu Ningyao and show her off.

Upon hearing this, both Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu couldn't help but frown.

My daughter is still young, so she doesn't feel anything when she hears these words now. But if they keep emphasizing that she's not their biological child, she might harbor resentment when she grows up.

They still need to have a serious talk with the eldest son's family about this.

We can't let the child continue talking nonsense like this.

Wow, Cui Ruixin really has a lot of free time.

[Since they couldn't kick me out, they've started resorting to sowing discord.]

Yu Ningyao knew immediately whose work it was.

But she didn't care at all.

Saying these things too much might actually make her adoptive parents feel even more sorry for her.

“Nonsense. Weiwei is your sister, and Yaoyao is your sister too. You have the same father and the same mother. If anyone says you're not siblings, just yell back at them.” Yu Kangjing lectured his son with a stern face.

"Alright!" Yu Ziying grinned.

Then he circled around Yu Ningyao.

"Little sister, little sister, shall I take you fishing?"

Yu Ningyao's eyes lit up when she heard about fishing, and she readily nodded: "Okay."

"Come on! Let's go catch some fish." Seeing that Yu Ningyao finally paid attention to him, Yu Ziying jumped for joy and led her to the edge of the small pond.

"Jadeite, agate, remember to keep a close eye on the young master and young lady," Shen Jinzhu hurriedly instructed.

"Yes," the two maids replied and hurriedly followed.

Yu Ziying led Yu Ningyao, swaying gently, to the edge of a small pond in the mansion.

The pool was very shallow, only reaching Yu Ziying's calves; it was specially made by Shen Jinzhu for him to play with.

It contained very small koi fish, which he could scoop out as he pleased.

Yu Ziying skillfully handed Yu Ningyao a small fishing net woven from willow branches, and held her hand to teach her how to fish.

"Little sister, look, it's very simple."

Yu Ningyao pushed his hand away and tried her best to say, "I'll send it to you!"

“Okay, let’s have a competition and see who catches the most.” Yu Ziying excitedly grabbed another net and started catching fish.

The two maids watched them with smiles.

Cui Ruixin carried Yu Ruowei to the third room and saw Yu Ningyao swaying unsteadily by the pool. She then hatched a plan.

"Ziying, are you fishing?" she asked with a smile.

"Greetings, Madam." The two maids hurriedly bowed.

"Aunt, I'm fishing with my sister," Yu Ziying replied earnestly, looking up.

"How about letting Weiwei play with you?" Cui Ruixin bent down and put her daughter down.

“Sure.” Yu Ziying didn’t think the worst of the person and happily agreed.

The moment Yu Ningyao saw her, she immediately became wary.

Given Cui Ruixin's consistent targeting of her, her appearance was definitely not a good thing.

So she kept her eyes and ears open and became vigilant.

"Fish!" Yu Ruowei clapped her hands happily when she saw the koi swimming around in the small pond.

"Hmm, fish. Weiwei, catch some fish." Cui Ruixin stuffed a small net into her daughter's hand, then handed her over to the maid Chunying to take care of.

As Chunying helped Yu Ruowei up, she heard the lady give instructions in a low voice.

"Push that little bastard into the pond. Make sure it's well hidden."

Chunying was startled, but dared not resist, and could only nod slightly.

She knew that the madam disliked the second young lady she had taken in, but she never expected her to be so cruel.

It's already late autumn, and if a child falls into the water, they will most likely catch a cold and develop a fever.

Such a young child, once he develops a high fever, may be very difficult to save.

Her mind was in turmoil as she helped her young mistress closer to Yu Ningyao.

"Fish!" Yu Ruowei was very excited when she saw the swimming fish and waved her small net, ready to pounce.

Chunying seized the opportunity and slightly adjusted her mistress's direction, causing her to pounce on Yu Ningyao.

As long as you catch the second young lady.

The second young lady will definitely fall headfirst into the pool.

She had thus completed the task assigned by her wife.

"Brother, fish!" Afraid that the eldest son would try to extort money, Yu Ningyao saw Yu Ruowei approaching and decisively retreated, taking a big step towards Yu Ziying.

As she dodged, Yu Ruowei couldn't stop in time and fell directly into the pool.

"Sweetie, what did you just call me? Did you call me brother? Say it again!" Yu Ziying happily threw the net bag, which hit Yu Ruowei on the head.

Yu Ruowei thrashed about in a panic, choking on a mouthful of water.

The little fish in the pond were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.

One of them almost crawled into Yu Ruowei's mouth.

"Weiwei—!" Cui Ruixin was startled, her face turning pale.

Chunying was also terrified.

According to her plan, it should have been the second young lady who fell into the pond.

It's all over now.
