As a mother for many years, Xu's mother had raised several children, but she had never experienced such disobedience from one of her children.

What Xu Jinyi was shouting outside was simply outrageous and so disobedient that Xu's mother was so angry that her body was shaking.

I had to comfort my crying daughter first.

"Wan Wan, be good, don't worry about what that stupid girl outside says. It's not her turn to make the decision in our Shangshu Mansion yet, so just be at ease, Master."

"With such a temper, how can you be a good lady? As soon as you come back, you are so disrespectful to your elders. You blame your parents before you even acknowledge them. I dare not acknowledge such a daughter."

"Don't worry, I'll go out and check on that damn girl. If she dares to say anything, I'll beat her to death."

Xu Jingwan shook her head: "Mom, please let me go. Your biological daughter is back, and I should return her place to her."

"After all, I have occupied her identity for so many years. It is normal for her to be angry and annoyed with me. Please don't blame her, mother."

Seeing that Xu Jingwan was so well-behaved and sensible, Xu's mother became more and more displeased with Xu Jinyi outside.

"What do you mean by return? You are my daughter, the daughter I have raised for more than ten years."

"I'll go out and clear your name right away. Don't worry. I'll take care of it."

Having said that, Xu's mother stood up, with a stern look on her face, and was about to go out to teach Xu Jinyi a lesson.

Xu Jingwan stood up, took Xu's mother's arm, and wiped her tears: "Mom, I'll go too. Although the mistakes over the years were not caused by me, I did occupy the identity of the younger sister, and I should go and apologize to her."

The door opens.

Xu's mother came out with a gloomy face, and when she saw Xu Jinyi's profile, she scolded him harshly: "Why are you making a fuss just after you came back? Don't you know how embarrassing it is? Why don't you get out of here? Go inside and talk about what you have to say!"

But when Xu Jinyi turned around, her superior appearance stunned her mother so much that she couldn't recover.

The words "peerless beauty" are not enough to describe the daughter in front of him.

Xu's mother couldn't help but wonder, is this really the daughter she raised in the countryside?

Such a beautiful girl, even a noble family in the capital would find it difficult to cultivate one, right?

She had always thought that her daughter Wanwan was stunningly beautiful, but now that she had seen Xu Jinyi, she finally understood what the saying "there is always someone better than you" meant.

Even if she favored Xu Jingwan, she could not say with a clear conscience that they were both equally beautiful.

In other words, Xu Jingwan's beauty is not even half as good as the girl in front of her. Her beauty is changeable and unique. It can be pure to the core, or charming and attractive.

Xu's mother had never even thought that someone could combine these two different kinds of beauty into one, making her look so natural and flawless.

Her anger was instantly half extinguished, and Xu's mother couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with Xu Jinyi.

After all, she is his own child, and she is not bad looking. After training her for a period of time and winning her over, wouldn't their Shangshu Mansion then have two legitimate daughters who can bring honor to the family?

Xu Jingwan panicked when she saw Xu Jinyi's face. A huge sense of panic surged in her heart, and she always felt that something had slipped away from her hands.

She even felt that she had made a wrong move. If she had known that she would grow up like this, she should not have let her come back.

She should have died on the road.

Looking uneasily at her mother's expression which had obviously softened, Xu Jingwan felt a chill all over her body.

She misjudged Xu Jinyi's appearance, thinking that she was just a skinny, dark country bumpkin with a timid personality, who would not threaten her position even if she came back.

Xu Jingwan held Xu's mother's arm tightly, fearing that the family affection she wanted to hold on to would be snatched away by Xu Jinyi.

If this were true, she would have nothing, and all her efforts over the years would be in vain.

He lowered his eyes, a hint of hatred flashing across them.

Now she hated her biological parents. Since they had switched her, why didn't they clear the way ahead for her? Why didn't they kill Xu Jinyi?

She was able to come back alive and well.

"Mrs. Xu really opened my eyes. It seems that Mr. Xu has inherited your genes. The first thing he said to his newly found daughter was not a greeting or a hug, but a gloomy scolding."

"Tsk, the tutors in Shangshu Mansion are indeed different from others."

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale and blue. Only then did she realize that Princess Xinyue was there. She was a little evil spirit. If she wasn't handled properly, the King of Hell would come to her house tomorrow.

With the Regent, the King of Hell, around, even the young emperor would not dare to disrespect Princess Xinyue.

"I greet Princess Xinyue. It was just a misunderstanding. I will take Xiaoyi home right away."

Xinyue was not so easy to fool. She sneered, "They are indeed mother and son. They both use the same excuse. They think all of us are fools."

Xu Jinyi's eyes lit up, and he gave Princess Xinyue a big thumbs up in his heart.

It was a great assist and he said what she wanted to say.

Xu Jingwan walked forward with red eyes: "Sister, I'm sorry, I haven't been -"

"My dear sister, it is said that my biological mother only gave birth to me as a daughter, so where did my sister come from?"

"How come you've been taking advantage of me for more than a decade and now you want to take advantage of me?"

It was the first time that the noble ladies saw Xu Jingwan's aggrieved look, and they all laughed playfully.

"Isn't pretending to be weak Xu Jingwan's usual trick? They say the crying child gets the milk. It seems like I've met my match this time. Xu Jinyi is really good. She's a real person. I like her."

"Yes, in such a situation, how many people dare to speak their mind? I'm afraid most people will choose to endure it, or even flatter Xu Jingwan."

"But judging from Madam Xu's expression, she has no intention of driving Jingwan away. She just came out with her arm around her."

"Xu Jinyi is so pitiful. It's bad enough that she wasn't welcomed back home, but she was also hurt by the faker and her family. I'm afraid she will suffer when the door is closed."

The noble ladies felt the same way. After all, Xu Jinyi's actions just now brought shame to the Shangshu Mansion.

If it were their parents, they would be punished as well.

A trace of distortion flashed across Xu Jingwan's face. She didn't understand Xu Jinyi's trick at all and why he didn't play by the rules.

Shouldn't she be sad when she sees how close her biological mother is to her? Shouldn't she try to please her family members when she sees their attitude towards her?

Why is it so difficult?

His face turned pale: "Xiaoyi, I——"

"What? You want to cry?"

Xu Jingwan was about to cry, but Xu Jinyi's words made tears hang on her eyelashes. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should cry or not.

Xu Jinyi curled his lips: "Or do you want to be knocked unconscious?"

Xu Jingwan's face froze for a moment, and the hand that was raised in the air to touch her forehead stopped, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Hahaha, Xu Jingwan looks so funny. I'm afraid she didn't expect her thoughts to be exposed."

Xu Jingwan just felt her face burning and she was embarrassed.
