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

After deciding to adopt Yu Ningyao, the couple bought some local specialties in the town to take back to the children, and then returned to the capital.

Along the way, the two discussed what name to give Yu Ningyao.

Perhaps influenced by their past life, they also named her Yu Ningyao.

Although the process was bumpy, the result was good.

Yu Ningyao went to sleep soundly.

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Yu Kangjing consulted with the old Marquis about adding Yu Ningyao to the family genealogy.

Seeing his determination, the old Marquis didn't bother to stop him, so he set an auspicious day and added Yu Ningyao to the family genealogy.

Thus, Yu Ningyao successfully returned to her ancestral home.

The first task is complete.

The system excitedly announced: [Congratulations, host, on completing the mission and receiving the reward: the Innate Sacred Body of a Pampered Novel's Female Lead.]

Yu Ningyao: ...

She felt ashamed every time she heard about this award.

What benefit would this reward bring to her, a little baby?

Before she could figure out what the reward was for, the system issued a new task.

[Mission: Defeat the fake heiress and become famous throughout the capital]

[Reward: 100% accurate identification of poisonous substances by scent (no poisonous thing can hide from you)]

Yu Ningyao: ?

Tell me, I'm just a one-year-old baby, how am I supposed to complete this task?

The system said somewhat sheepishly, "Well, there's nothing I can do. This task was originally supposed to be issued when you turned sixteen. At that time, you just needed to replace her and become the most talented woman in the capital, and the task would be completed."

Noticing that Yu Ningyao was unhappy, the system coaxed her to continue doing the task.

[Just think about it, isn't this reward incredibly tempting?]

If you could tell what's poisonous just by smelling it, who would dare to plot against you in the harem?

Yu Ningyao smacked her lips.

I think this reward is more useful than the previous one.

It's not that it can't be done.

But how can she defeat the fake heiress and make her name known throughout the capital?

……

Yu Ningyao was added to the family genealogy and registered under Shen Jinzhu's name.

That was the legitimate third wife's daughter.

When Cui Ruixin learned of this news, she was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

What's done is done, and there's nothing she can do no matter how unwilling she is.

"Do you think the third son and his wife are just bored and have nothing better to do? Aren't three sons enough? Why do they have to pick up an abandoned wild girl to raise? They like daughters, but isn't our Weiwei enough for them to love?"

Cui Ruixin couldn't help but complain to her dowry maid, Li.

"My own niece is better than that wild girl whose background I don't even know."

Madam Li gently massaged her shoulders and comforted her, saying, "It's just a child, why should you take it to heart, Madam?"

"Was I arguing with her? I was arguing for Weiwei's future." Cui Ruixin was very upset.

Not long after her daughter was born, the old Marquis ordered everyone in the mansion to spoil her rotten.

After all, the Yu family has eight grandsons in this generation, and this is their first granddaughter.

From the moment Weiwei was born, the second and third wives did everything they could to treat her well.

All sorts of good things were sent to them in a rush.

The third branch of the family even promised that when Weiwei got married, they would add sixty-four loads of dowry.

If they had a daughter now, would they still dote on her daughter, Weiwei?

Sixty-four loads, that's at least 100,000 taels of silver.

Adding in Gongzhong's dowry, they could roughly raise 120 taels for her Weiwei.

Even when a princess in the palace gets married, her dowry is nothing more than this.

At that time, she, as the mother, will definitely be the most prestigious person in the entire capital.

She was already dreaming about what would happen sixteen years from now, but now the third wife has adopted an outsider. How could she not be anxious?

"Look at this. Third Brother made a gold peace lock for that girl, but he didn't do anything for Weiwei. If it were in the past, that gold lock would have been Weiwei's." Cui Ruixin became angrier and angrier as she thought about it.

She felt as if a large piece of her heart had been ripped out.

She couldn't eat or sleep well.

Seeing that the mistress was particularly troubled, Li offered her some advice.

"If that's the case, why not take advantage of the fact that there's no affection between them yet and let the third branch of the family get tired of that little girl?"

"How so?" Cui Ruixin's eyes lit up.

Li bent down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered her plan.

"Granny is so wise, let's do it your way!" Cui Ruixin's eyes shone with approval.

After dressing up carefully, she took her daughter to the third house.

"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Shen Jinzhu stood up with a smile to greet her.

She came from a merchant family, and many noble ladies in the capital looked down on her.

Only her sister-in-law treated her very kindly.

Therefore, she always greeted her with a smile whenever she saw her.

"Isn't it because I was thinking that Weiwei would have another sister in the future? We have to let them get to know each other first and develop a good relationship so that the two sisters can support each other in the future?" Cui Ruixin's words were very hypocritical.

In reality, she had no intention of letting her daughter become best friends with an adopted daughter of unknown origin.

Hearing her say that, Shen Jinzhu was deeply moved.

"My sister-in-law is very thoughtful."

Cui Ruixin gestured to her maid Chunying to take her daughter over to play with Yu Ningyao.

Yu Ningyao stared at the fake heiress who had switched identities with her, and couldn't help but spit out a kiss.

No wonder she's a woman who's famous throughout the capital; you could tell she was a beauty even as a child.

"My sweetie, this is Sister Weiwei. Come on, call her sister." Shen Jinzhu teased her daughter, shaking a rattle in front of her.

Yu Ningyao's head shook with the rattle drum. She reached out to grab it, almost succeeding, but Shen Jinzhu took it away again.

She burst into laughter.

After laughing, Yu Ningyao was filled with horror.

Oh no! She'd been a little kid for far too long since transmigrated, and now she'd actually become a little kid again.

In the past, she would have disdained to play such a childish game.

But now, she actually wants to continue.

"Do you want it?" Shen Jinzhu asked softly.

"Ah ah." Yu Ningyao pretended to be stupid and deliberately reached out to pull the rattle.

“If you want it, then call me sister.” Shen Jinzhu raised her hand and pointed to Yu Ruowei beside her.

Before Yu Ningyao could say anything, Yu Ruowei snatched the rattle drum away first.

Yu Ningyao's plan came to her mind!

[System, does "defeat" literally mean defeat?]

The system hasn't reacted yet.

Yu Ningyao unceremoniously reached out and snatched the rattle drum.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ruowei seemed to really like the rattle drum and wouldn't let go of it.

"Ahhh—!" Yu Ningyao's face turned red as she struggled to snatch the rattle drum back.

Yu Ruowei burst into tears.

"Don't fight, don't fight, everyone has one." Shen Jinzhu didn't expect the two children to fight over a small toy, so she quickly instructed the maid.

"Jade, go and get another rattle for Miss."

Adults can understand this, but children can't. One of them who does understand is pretending not to.

Yu Ningyao was fighting so fiercely that she accidentally hit Yu Ruowei on the forehead with a "thud" during the struggle.

"What are you doing, bullying my daughter?" Cui Ruixin couldn't sit still any longer. She immediately rushed forward and pushed Yu Ningyao aside, then lovingly picked up her daughter.

Yu Ningyao, clutching the fruits of victory, hadn't even had a chance to ask the system if it counted as a success when Cui Ruixin shoved her head, causing her to bump into a bedpost.

She felt dizzy and lightheaded, and felt a huge lump quickly swell up on her head.

Yu Ningyao: Oh no, I hope she's not sent to her death by her own mother before she even finished her mission.
