Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Dong Ping rolled her eyes inwardly; this Mr. Dong was indeed no pushover.

If the person standing in front of Master Dong at this moment were the second incarnation of Dong Ping, perhaps he would have been persuaded.

But now standing in front of Master Dong is Dong Qianyue, who possesses the memories of Dong Ping's two lifetimes. Naturally, she can clearly see Master Dong's coldness, aloofness, and sharp tongue.

It seems that no matter how much he denies his identity, Mr. Dong will insist that he was young when he got lost and that his childhood memories are incomplete.

She might even say that after she got lost, she was adopted by Dong Fugui, and then she fell seriously ill and lost all her memories of the Dong family when she was young.

After all, children's memories are incomplete. Who can clearly remember every year from age one to ten?

As long as there's a loophole, Mr. Dong can claim that Dong Ping is Dong Yunqing.

Of course, none of this is without flaws.

What Master Dong said was all one-sided. Even if Master Dong was able to bribe the villagers of Zhulin Village, or even Dong Ping's biological parents, it was still just one-sided.

Yes, as long as Dong Ping persists, even if her parents come forward to prove that she is not their biological child, Dong Ping will still be able to prove her identity.

Dong Ping didn't want to reach that point until she was completely at her wit's end.

In this chaotic world, it's better to have one more enemy than one more friend, especially a powerful enemy like the Dong family.

If things really come to that, then they'll truly be enemies who never speak to each other again.

“Master Dong, regardless of whether Dong Ping’s memories are true or false, I only know that the memories of the past in my mind are real.” Dong Ping looked at Master Dong with a look of blind filial piety and said, “Even if my parents have a thousand faults, I will never give up my surname. I am Dong Ping from Bamboo Forest Village. Even if I was sold into a brothel by my own parents, I am still Dong Ping.”

“If Master Dong wants me to change from Dong Ping to Dong Yunqing, then prove to me that I really am Dong Yunqing!” Dong Ping stood up with a smile, nodded to Master Dong, and continued, “If I really am Dong Yunqing, we have been separated for more than ten years, so I suppose Father doesn’t know Yunqing very well.”

“Birthmarks, scars, moles, none of these can be used as reliable indicators. After all, so many years have passed, you wouldn’t remember anyway.” Dong Ping wasn’t worried that they “wouldn’t remember” but rather that they would remember too much.

After all, these days, indentures clearly describe the physical characteristics of the person being sold.

Now that Dong Ping's indenture is in the hands of Master Dong and Madam Dong, it would be easy for them to find out some of her obvious characteristics.

"Why don't we just go to the ancestral hall and do the blood test to prove our kinship?" Dong Ping suggested a drastic measure.

It's not that there were no ways to cheat in this era, but people in this era believed in ghosts and gods and paid great attention to bloodlines.

Dong Ping didn't believe that Master Dong would dare to falsify the bloodline in front of the ancestral tablets.

“If we are of the same bloodline, it will prove whether I am Dong Yunqing or not.” Dong Ping said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “If I am really Dong Yunqing, I will kneel in this ancestral hall for a day and a night to apologize to the ancestors. Then I will go back to my husband’s family and apologize to my parents-in-law.”

“If I weren’t, Mr. and Mrs. Dong would have to put in more effort to continue searching for the Dong family’s second daughter, Dong Yunqing, who has been missing. And by the way…” Dong Ping paused for a moment, then smiled and smoothed her disheveled hair, “to settle this marriage.”

"Although this marriage was originally intended for the second young lady of the Dong family, I—Dong Ping—have married into the family first by a twist of fate." Dong Ping smiled and looked at Master Dong, saying, "There is a saying that first come, first served, and this matter was originally made wrong by the Dong family. We can't let the Guo family divorce me or demote me to a concubine, can we?"

"The Dong family is a prominent and wealthy family. It would be beneath the Second Miss of the Dong family to be a concubine, let alone a secondary wife!"

“You… unfilial daughter! Your body and hair are gifts from your parents…” Master Dong pointed at Dong Ping, trembling with anger.

“Master Dong, why are you angry? Since Madam Dong said that I felt a blood connection with her at first sight, how can I refuse the blood test?” Dong Ping looked at Master Dong without changing her expression and said, “Whether my background is true or false, there should be a truth about my relationship with the Guo family, with me, and with the Dong family. If Master Dong is unwilling, then Dong Ping will have no choice but to take the worst option.”

Furious, Master Dong sat down in the main seat and slammed the teacup on the table to the ground, yelling, "You...you rebellious daughter, what other desperate measures do you have!"

Dong Ping dodged the shards of porcelain that flew to her feet, stood up, curtsied, and looked up at Master Dong with neither servility nor arrogance, saying, "In the end, this is just a matter within the Dong family. Unless absolutely necessary, Dong Ping would not want to take Master Dong to court."

Everyone is registered by the government at birth, and the information recorded includes: name, gender, weight, physical characteristics, footprints, etc.

This is somewhat similar to a contract of servitude, but it contains much more detailed information.

Moreover, the official registers cannot be falsified.

This is actually an ancient identity information file. To prove a person's identity, one only needs to check the records with the government to find out if they are true or false.

Even if a person doesn't have any obvious features like birthmarks or moles, you can still identify them by comparing their footprints.

Modern people know that everyone's fingerprints are unique, and ancient people also roughly understood this principle.

Take footprints, for example. A baby's footprints and an adult's footprints are naturally not exactly the same, but by comparing them, it can be deduced whether they are the footprints of the same person.

Since Dong Ping and Dong Yunqing were registered with the government after their birth, their identities could be verified most accurately by going to court.

Therefore, even if the Dong family invited Dong Ping's biological parents and made them insist that Dong Ping was not their biological child but was adopted.

If they go to court, Dong Ping can prove that she is not Dong Yunqing.

However, once the matter goes to court, it will inevitably spread. Since Master Dong values ​​his reputation so much, I will have completely offended him.

Therefore, Dong Ping never intended to go this far; the current lawsuit was merely a warning shot.

"You! You!" Master Dong slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What exactly do you want!"

"Dong Ping has come today not to make things difficult for the Dong family. As for the truth about the substitute marriage, I'm afraid no one knows better than Master Dong and Madam Dong, right?" Dong Ping stood up and walked to Master Dong, saying, "Dong Ping doesn't know, and doesn't want to know, what Master Dong and Madam Dong's intentions are."

"But now, let's not pretend we don't know. I am indeed not the second young lady of the Dong family, but Dong Ping. I—Dong Ping—am but a nobody, and what I did today was only to secure my future happiness." Dong Ping stood up and bowed to each of them, saying, "Please forgive me, Master Dong, Madam Dong, and Young Master Dong."

"I, Dong Ping, have come today for only three things. If Master Dong and Madam Dong agree, then all the grudges between us will be wiped clean. What do you think, Master Dong and Madam Dong?"
