Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

“If you really had nothing to do with us, why would we have rescued you from the brothel?” Madam Dong echoed.

"Could it be that we went to all that trouble to redeem you from the brothel just so you could marry into the Guo family?" Young Master Dong said with dissatisfaction, "My dear sister, don't think such nonsense."

Madam Dong nodded, looking at Dong Ping as if she were a child who didn't understand, and said, "If it's really as you say, with the strength of my Dong family, we can easily find a girl with a clean background. Why go through all that trouble to find a virgin in a brothel?"

Young Master Dong nodded quickly and said, "Little sister, this only means that it's because you are Yun Qing, our parents' child, and my little sister that we rescued you from the brothel!"

Master Dong picked up the teacup on the table, blew on the tea leaves, took a sip, and sighed heavily. He said, "I know you resent your parents for marrying you off so hastily. Besides, given the Guo family's current situation... I understand your resentment."

“Yes, you left when you were young, you must have suffered a lot. Later you even ended up in a brothel…” Madam Dong wiped away her tears and said, “As your mother, how could I not want you to stay at home longer and enjoy life? But…”

While comforting Madam Dong, Young Master Dong said, "Yes, sister, you know the Guo family's situation. If you had married into the family earlier and shared hardships with your in-laws, Brother Guo would surely have lived up to your expectations when he returned."

"Yes, Yunqing, don't overthink it." After saying that, Mr. Dong gave Mrs. Dong a wink.

Madam Dong nodded knowingly. She sat down next to Dong Ping, took Dong Ping's hand, and said earnestly, "Yes, Yunqing. Your parents' hasty actions this time, though unavoidable, were truly for your own good!"

"Although you have suffered injustice, the Guo family does owe you a huge favor. If A-Kai can return safely, just think about it, his status will definitely be different from before." Madam Dong painted a rosy picture for Dong Ping without saying a word: "You have gone through thick and thin with your in-laws, so they will definitely stand by your side. If A-Kai wants to take a concubine in the future, you will have a say in it!"

"If Brother Guo suffers misfortune, your ability to share hardships with your in-laws is already an act of filial piety. I will take you on behalf of our parents and ask your in-laws for a divorce decree, restoring your freedom." Young Master Dong solemnly promised, "With the wealth and power of my Dong family, and your good reputation, why worry about remarriage? Even if you don't want to remarry then, as your elder brother, I will support you for the rest of your life!"

Master Dong said indifferently, "Yunqing, stop being so willful. I'll have a few servants take you home so you can properly apologize to your parents-in-law."

"You are a pampered young lady of the Dong family, so it's understandable that you might have a little temper," Madam Dong quickly comforted Dong Ping, patting her hand gently.

“Young Master Dong is absolutely right. With the Dong family’s wealth and reputation for filial piety, it wouldn’t be difficult for the second young lady of the Dong family to remarry. Even if the second young lady of the Dong family doesn’t remarry, the Dong family will legally provide for her in her old age.” Dong Ping deliberately emphasized the word “legally.”

“But… a dove is still a dove, how can it forcibly occupy a magpie’s nest?!” Dong Ping pulled her hand back from Madam Dong’s grasp.

“I am Dong Ping, not Dong Yunqing. Miss Yunqing is missing, and Madam Dong and Master Dong must be extremely anxious. If I were to forcibly take Miss Yunqing’s identity, what would become of Yunqing, who is still suffering outside?” Dong Ping pretended not to know about the Dong family’s scheme and put on an act of “I am doing this for the good of the Dong family.”

Dong Ping smiled and looked at Master Dong, saying, "Master Dong, perhaps Miss Yun Qing and I do have some similarities, but I am not Miss Yun Qing after all."

“Indeed, as Mr. Dong said, what parents in this world don’t recognize their own children?” Dong Ping said with a smile, “Perhaps it was too rushed at the time, and you didn’t notice. But as you get to know each other better, I believe you will definitely discover the clues.”

"After all, married women also need to visit their parents' home, right? Once you get to know them, you'll find that Dong Ping is indeed not Miss Yun Qing."

"Nonsense!" Master Dong slammed his teacup down on the table, glaring angrily at Dong Ping. "Yunqing, no matter what grievances you have against your parents, you cannot abandon your family bloodline!"

“Even if your parents have done a thousand wrong things, they are still your parents who gave you life! How can you be so willful as to say that you are not Dong Yunqing but Dong Ping?” Then, the old man changed his tone and softened his words: “I know that you were still young when you got lost.”

"Perhaps you were adopted by Dong... Dong... Dong Dafu or something from that Bamboo Forest Village, and then sold to a brothel when you were ten years old. That's why you've always thought of yourself as just an ordinary farm girl—Dong Ping." Master Dong looked at Dong Ping with a loving expression and said, "But you were too young then to remember anything..."

"Yes, Yunqing," Madam Dong said with tears in her eyes, "Just as you said, what parent in the world doesn't recognize their own child? Although we have been separated for more than ten years, the moment I see you, I feel a bond thicker than blood."

"Yunqing, it was truly our fault for hastily marrying you off to the impoverished Guo family so soon after we recognized you as our child," Madam Dong said, wiping away her tears. "But... we did it for your own good. Please understand your parents' good intentions. Alas..."

Master Dong sighed heavily, walked up to Dong Ping, and said earnestly, "Just as your elder brother said, if our Dong family wanted to find someone to marry in place of her, why go through all this trouble?"

"I know you're upset that we didn't ask for your opinion, or even say hello, before knocking you unconscious and stuffing you into the bridal sedan chair and carrying you to the Guo family." Master Dong shook his head helplessly.

"But you've seen Brother Guo's health condition. We can't just leave you at home because we can't bear to part with you, can we?" Master Dong continued, feigning righteousness. "What if something happens to Brother Guo..."

“Although the Guo and Dong families haven’t yet gone through the six rites, you’re not yet considered a member of the Guo family, so there’s no grounds for gossip,” Old Master Dong sighed with concern. “But now that Kai is back, he’ll have to observe three years of mourning for Brother Guo. Your marriage with him will definitely be postponed again. If you waste another three years, you’ll be an old maid! Wouldn’t that be a waste of your time?”

"Yunqing, let me explain this to you in detail. I hope you can understand and stop being so willful." Old Master Dong looked at his wayward child, shaking his head helplessly. "You child... you just don't know any better. You even made up such a ridiculous story. What Bamboo Forest Village, what Dong Dagui, what Dong Ping."

Mr. Dong looked at Mrs. Dong with a doting yet helpless expression and said, "Honestly, if I weren't her biological father, I would have believed it."
