After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

He assumed the man was a lecherous scoundrel and paid no attention.

However, she was received by a woman with a hoarse voice, and her appearance was probably far inferior to her own.

The woman redeemed her from her servitude and gave her a large sum of money, telling her to take the evidence to the General of the State's mansion to recognize her relatives.

They said she was the young lady of the family who was kidnapped fifteen years ago, and they had to hurry up and go, otherwise someone else would beat them to it and there would be no chance for her.

She was overjoyed. Having grown up serving customers in brothels, she suddenly became the eldest daughter of the General of the State. It was as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, leaving her dizzy and bewildered.

Without thinking much, he went straight to the capital to visit the General of the State's residence to acknowledge his relatives.

As expected, on her second day there, someone came to compete with her for the identity of the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. How could she let the other party have their way?

She's destined to be the rich heiress; no one can take her away from her.

"Based on these alone, it is impossible to confirm which one is my granddaughter."

The old lady couldn't stand the woman's arrogant and smug demeanor when she got her way, and said in a deep voice.

"Uh......"

The stranger was dumbfounded. All the evidence she had prepared was insufficient to prove her identity. Apart from the birthmark, she really couldn't produce any other evidence.

Before coming, she confidently assured the stranger that she would get things done, but she never expected that the old lady of the general's mansion would be so difficult to serve.

"Young lady, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

The old lady ignored the strange woman and turned her gaze to Xue Ruanruan, asking her gently.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this girl and always wanted to get closer to her.

So many girls have come to the manor to recognize their relatives before, but this is the first time I've felt this way.

"Reporting to Madam, I have no physical evidence left."

Xue Ruanruan remained calm and composed throughout, quietly sipping her tea while the stranger struggled to provide evidence.

"If not, then please move to the back room so I can take a look at your birthmarks."

The old lady, leaning on her cane, was the first to stand up and walk towards the outer courtyard, with Granny Fang following behind, carefully attending to her.

Princess Lingjun looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, and then stepped out of the threshold with Qingyan's help.

After the hostess left, the strange woman deliberately walked to Xue Ruanruan's side, glared at her threateningly, and then turned and followed her.

Xue Ruanruan watched the woman's departing figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Whether it's true or false is still uncertain, but such a smug and self-satisfied attitude is truly degrading.

"Ladies, please come with me."

A pretty young girl led Xue Ruanruan and the stranger into the inner room.

The interior was spotless, without a trace of dust or dirt.

Against the north wall stood a large canopy bed with exquisite carvings, and in front of the window was a vermilion lacquered square wooden table, which looked simple and elegant.

Two tall and strong old women stood in front of the bed.

Without even guessing what it was for, Xue Ruanruan unconsciously slowed her pace.

The stranger walked up to the nearest old woman and, without the old woman's help, took off her clothes completely on her own.

The movements were smooth and natural, as if they had been repeated hundreds of times.

Her behavior was quite inappropriate. The old lady and Princess Lingjun exchanged a glance, both seeing deep disappointment in each other's eyes.

This woman's demeanor is so unrestrained. Not to mention wealthy families, even girls from humble backgrounds don't behave like this. She seems to have come from a brothel.

"A butterfly-shaped birthmark, reddish-brown in color, madam, please come and take a look."

Princess Lingjun was closer to the unfamiliar woman, and after the woman's clothes were removed, she immediately noticed the butterfly birthmark on her neck.

She couldn't help but get excited because it looked exactly like her daughter's.

"Don't be impatient, let's see how this girl is doing first."

The old lady waved her hand, signaling the servant to help Xue Ruanruan take off her clothes.

Xue Ruanruan stepped forward and stood quietly in front of the bed, her figure graceful and beautiful.

After the old woman took off her heavy cloak and partially removed her inner garment, her beautiful back, smooth as jade, was barely revealed.

It's not fully exposed, but it's precisely this subtle, ambiguous reveal that makes it so alluring.

Unlike the dull, sallow complexion on her face, the skin from her neck down was soft, smooth, fair, and delicate, like finely carved ivory, exuding a noble and elegant beauty.

The old lady and Princess Lingjun looked at Xue Ruanruan with puzzled expressions, noting the stark difference between her facial and body skin tones.

Unexpectedly, this girl, though not particularly beautiful, possessed incredibly smooth, silky skin.

The stranger also saw Xue Ruanruan's back, and her eyes flashed with amazement and jealousy.

In the brothel, even the top courtesan couldn't match this woman's delicate and fair skin; luckily, she wasn't particularly beautiful.

"There is also a butterfly birthmark, but the difference is that this butterfly looks like it is alive, lively and natural."

The old lady stared blankly at the birthmark on Xue Ruanruan's back, her eyes welling up with tears.

She had a premonition that her granddaughter had probably really found her way back.

"How could this be? They have the exact same birthmark. Which one is my daughter?"

Princess Lingjun was on the verge of collapse. All the evidence was the same, and she couldn't tell which was true and which was false.

"If you can't provide evidence, Madam, why don't you judge based on your appearance? Judging from your current looks, it's not hard to guess that you must have been a stunning beauty in your youth."

The stranger suddenly spoke, glancing meaningfully at Xue Ruanruan's face.

Her meaning was quite clear: she wanted to say that Princess Lingjun was beautiful, so her children would naturally be good as well.

"Even the nine sons of the dragon are not the same, let alone appearances, which are just external things and cannot explain anything."

Princess Lingjun was not swayed by the strange woman; instead, she stared blankly at the butterfly birthmark on Xue Ruanruan's neck.

The butterfly birthmark looked so real, as if it were alive, fluttering and dancing on the girl's delicate skin, so lifelike.

For a fleeting moment, she seemed to see her daughter as she was when she was just born.

Deep down, she preferred that the girl was her daughter.

“That’s right. Since the physical evidence is the same, why don’t we invite the two young ladies to stay at our residence for a few days while I come up with another way to argue our case?”

The old lady dared not be careless about this matter.

This matter concerns the Xue family's bloodline. We can only pray that the Xue family's ancestors will bless us and find our granddaughter instead of an imposter.

"No need. I do have a way to prove whose birthmark is fake."

Xue Ruanruan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and gave the unfamiliar woman a meaningful look with her bright and charming eyes.

Such petty tricks are no match for her.

Today, whether it's a human or a ghost, she's determined to make them reveal their true form.

"What method is it? Tell me quickly, young lady."

The old lady was indeed very interested after hearing this.

She simply couldn't think of any other way to tell which one was a scammer.
