Noon the next day.

A black Bentley worth five million yuan stopped in front of Jiang Youli's mud house.

Jiang Youli was grinding the herbs she had picked yesterday when she heard a noise and looked out the window. She saw that the license plate was Beijing A, so it was indeed from Beijing.

After grinding the herbs, she put them into a jar, clapped her hands, got up and went out of the mud house, and walked up to the car and knocked on the window.

A moment later, the car window slid down, revealing the still handsome face of the middle-aged man. He looked to be around fifty years old, with his hair neatly styled and shiny.

Beside him sat a woman of similar age. Although she was not young, she was well-maintained and looked to be only in her thirties. She was still very beautiful.

Jiang You left the door and asked bluntly, "Did you come here to see me?"

The handsome middle-aged man in the back seat looked at her, then looked down at the photo in his hand, his deep eyes shining.

"Susu, it's her! She's the one we've been looking for!"

The beautiful woman's eyes also lit up with surprise, and her eyes even glistened with tears. "Yes, it's definitely this child."

The two excitedly opened the automatic door, got out of the car, and walked to Jiang Youli's side.

The middle-aged man nodded to Jiang Youli and replied:

"Yes, child, you are the long-lost daughter of our Jiang family. We have come here to find you and bring you back."

Jiang Youli looked into the eyes of the handsome middle-aged man. He had a good appearance, and the excitement in his eyes was the same as that of the beautiful woman, which did not seem fake.

It seems that the middle-aged couple in front of us weren't the ones who sent people to rape her last night.

"How did you know we came to see you..." The middle-aged man reacted, but quickly put the question aside and simply explained to her the purpose of his visit, "Child, you are the daughter of our Jiang family. You were switched at birth when you were a child, which caused you to live on the streets for the past twenty years. You have suffered a lot outside."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the beautiful woman next to him choked up and sighed, "Poor child."

Jiang Youli calmly asked, "So you are my biological father and mother?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman were taken aback, exchanged a glance, and looked at each other with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

“Child, we are not your biological parents, but your uncle and aunt.”

Uncle and Aunt?

Jiang Youli chuckled: "Heh."

Jiang Youli continued to ask, "Uncle and Aunt, why didn't my biological parents come to pick me up, but you did?"

When asked about this, Zhang Susu felt a little guilty, "Something happened at your parents' home, and they couldn't get away, so they asked us to pick you up."

Jiang Youli directly exposed them, "You don't need to cover for them anymore. I'm not a three-year-old. What could possibly happen to them that's more important than coming to pick up their own daughter? It's just an excuse for not wanting to come and pick me up."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Susu couldn't help but step forward, gently embrace Jiang Youli, and shed soft tears. "My dear child, you've suffered all these years."

Jiang Youli did not expect that the aunt in front of her would suddenly hug her. She wanted to break free, but the other person's embrace was really warm and soft.

Is this the embrace of her mother that she hasn't felt in twenty years?

Jiang Youli sighed silently. If they were her biological parents, it wouldn't be so bad.

After a while, Zhang Susu finally let go of her, grabbed her hand, and said, "Good girl, go back and pack your things. We'll take you back to the Jiang family today, and you'll never have to live such a hard life again."

Jiang Youli nodded, "Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go back and pack my luggage."

There's no need to bring clothes or anything like that; just take the medicine she's developing here.

"Little Black, Little White, Little Green, come out. I'll take you to live somewhere else." Jiang Youli called out after tidying up the bottles and jars of various medicine powders and poisons in the wooden cabinet.

As soon as he finished speaking, three small snakes, whose colors matched their names, slithered out from the corner and slithered into the sack.

Jiang Youli tied the sack and carried it behind her back. She turned around and took a gong from the old wooden cabinet. After taking one last look at the dilapidated mud house, she walked to the door of the mud house and began to beat it.

The sound of gongs and drums was loud and clear.

Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu, who were waiting outside, were surprised and puzzled.

Before long, the villagers who heard the gongs and drums gathered around and all looked at Jiang Youli.

"Li girl, what's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Youli put down the gong and drum, cleared her throat and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, as you all know, I am an orphan. I grew up with you all. But now I know who my biological parents are. I was originally the daughter of the Jiang family, a wealthy family in Beijing."

The villagers were genuinely happy for her, but then Jiang Youli continued, "However, my biological parents have known for a long time that I am their biological daughter, but they have never come forward to acknowledge me. And this time, they are not acknowledging me to compensate them, but to make me go back and marry a disabled young master in place of their adopted daughter."

Hearing this, Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu were surprised again.

How come they didn't know about this?!

The villagers were indignant after hearing this: "What a scoundrel! Since he knew all along that you were his own daughter, he never acknowledged you. Now that he needs you to marry a disabled man, he wants to take you back!"

"What a bunch of blind fools! Girl, you're so outstanding, and they actually treat you like a tool! They even want to marry your adopted daughter off to a cripple!"

"Li girl, ignore those heartless bastards!"

"Yes, ignore them, I'll send someone to teach them a lesson!"

"The Jiang family, right? Their status in Beijing is just so-so, yet they act so arrogantly! Li girl, there's no need to go back and acknowledge them."

Jiang Youli raised her hand and said, "Uncles and aunts, please be patient. I have decided to return to the Jiang family for a marriage alliance, but I am going back to teach them a lesson. So I am letting you know in advance that I would like to ask you uncles and aunts to take care of the newly planted herbs in my herb garden."

After listening, the villagers, though they didn't understand, respected her opinion.

"I see. If the Jiang family dares to bully you, call me and I'll have someone wipe them out."

"That's right, we will always be your support."

Jiang Youli waved her hand and said, "Thank you, uncles and aunts. I'm done. You can all leave now."

After saying that, she turned around and gave Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu, who were waiting, a playful smile, "Uncle and Aunt, you can go now."

Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan were still standing there in a daze when they heard Jiang Youli calling them, and then they came to their senses.

"okay."

"Miss, let me carry it." The driver stepped forward and took the sack off for Jiang Youli.

"Be careful, it's heavy," Jiang Youli warned.

The driver was wondering how heavy the sack that the young girl was carrying so casually could be, and when he took it from her with both hands, he almost dropped it and it fell on his foot.

Jiang Youli blinked. "Is it okay? Don't break anything inside."

"No problem, Miss."

The driver gave an awkward laugh, gritted his teeth, and lifted the sack into the trunk. By the time he returned to the driver's seat, he was covered in sweat.

He thought to himself: I wonder how this new young lady, who is so thin, can be so strong.

After getting into the car, Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan exchanged glances several times, and Zhang Susu also hesitated to speak several times when looking at Jiang Youli.

Finally, Zhang Susu made up her mind and asked:

"Youli, what was that story you told the villagers about, about your adopted daughter marrying off to a disabled young master?

"Your uncle and aunt don't know?" Jiang Youli asked back, her eyes filled with doubt.

Zhang Susu shook her head. "Your uncle and I knew nothing about this. We only heard from your parents about half a month ago that Yonghe was not their biological daughter. So we sent people to investigate. We only found out yesterday that our biological daughter was living in this village. Today we plan to take her back."

Jiang Yehan nodded, indicating that he agreed with his wife's words.

Jiang Youli chuckled and said, "Then why do you think they didn't come to pick me up in person?"

When asked about this, Zhang Susu found it difficult to speak.

Yes, what kind of parents would not come to pick up their own daughter in person, but instead have their uncle and aunt come instead?

However, fearing that the truth would upset the child, Zhang Susu decided to remain silent.

“I could guess even if my aunt didn’t say it. So, as I said, they didn’t want to acknowledge me. They only took me back to acknowledge my family because they had no choice but to let their beloved adopted daughter marry the disabled young master.” Jiang Youli spoke very easily, her eyes showing a clarity that was beyond her years.

Jiang Yehan asked, "Youli, how did you find out about this arranged marriage?"

Jiang Youli smiled and said, "It's a secret."

Along the way, Zhang Susu talked to her about the Jiang family's situation, which was pretty much the same as what Ye Ying had investigated.

The Jiang family is still under the control of Old Master Jiang. Old Master Jiang has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Jiang Yehan, is the uncle who came to pick her up. His wife is Zhang Susu.

The couple had no children.

Jiang Yangxu, the second son of the Jiang family, is her biological father. He and his wife, Qin Yulian, also have two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son, Jiang Xing, manages the entertainment company Starlight Entertainment; the second son, Jiang Zhao, is a well-known singer who works directly at Starlight Entertainment.

Finally, there's the youngest daughter, Jiang Yonghe, who is quite outstanding. At the age of twenty, she skipped grades and completed her university studies. She plans to be engaged to the eldest son of the Qi family and then be sent abroad for further studies.

And this Jiang Yonghe is the girl who switched her body with her back then.

As for the third aunt, Jiang Li, she has already married into another wealthy family and rarely stays at the Jiang family home except for holidays.

After a bumpy six-hour journey from the village to Beijing—

The sky has darkened.

"Sir, Madam, Miss, we've arrived," the driver said as he stopped the car.

Looking out the car window, Jiang Youli saw a large courtyard with several villas scattered throughout, as grand as the presidential palace.

Ha, as expected of a powerful family in Beijing's elite circles.

The Jiang family mansion alone is almost the size of the entire Jianshan Village.

Jiang Youli got out of the car and followed her uncle and aunt into the Jiang family mansion.

The head butler, who was waiting outside the door, immediately went to greet them respectfully.

"Sir, Madam, you're back."

After speaking, the head butler glanced at Jiang Youli beside him and nodded respectfully to her, saying, "This must be Miss Jiang?"

"Okay." Zhang Susu nodded, then turned to look at Jiang Youli with a gentle expression. "Youli, go in and see your parents and brother."

Jiang Youli remained silent and followed them through the gate. Along the way, she crossed the spacious front yard and finally entered the mansion's foyer.

Standing at the entrance to the lobby, her gaze quickly swept over the four people sitting on the sofa in the hall.

The first thing that catches the eye is a middle-aged couple dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.

Secondly, he is a handsome young man with an unruly demeanor.

The last young woman was fair-skinned and beautiful, about the same age as her. At this moment, the woman's eyes were red, revealing a pitiful expression.

None of the four looked well; they all appeared preoccupied.

When the four people looked over, Jiang Youli didn't miss the fleeting look of disgust on their faces when they saw her.

She smiled, thinking, "Hmm, her family is really interesting."
