Outside the door were two men dressed as guards. Yu Jiahe had seen them before. They were the ones who followed her biological father.

They should also know Yu Jiahe's identity, "Miss, the Marquis wants to see you."

There was a carriage outside the door, and the guard made a gesture of invitation.

As a distinguished marquis, how could he come to such a remote place?

Yu Jiahe knew clearly that she didn't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, but she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw that only the guards came to see her.

When Tao Xing heard that someone had come to the Marquis' Mansion again, she rushed over immediately. She found that it was not the Granny Cai from last time, so she still protected Yu Jiahe.

"What is the relationship between your Lordship and our family? I will never let my daughter go with you. Leave quickly, or I will hit you with a broom."

Yu Jiahe held Tao Xing back and said, "Mom, I'll go with them."

Tao Xing was a little surprised. She didn't expect to be stopped by Yu Jiahe.

Yu Jiahe looked at the two guards. They were both here. If she didn't go to see the Marquis, it would be bad for her family.

He won't attack himself, but he will force himself.

But now I don't have the confidence to fight him.

"Mom, I want to eat braised pork. Can you make it for me and wait for me to come back to eat it?"

Tao Xing nodded blankly.

She came to her senses only after watching the carriage go away. She stared into the distance absent-mindedly, wondering whether Yu Jiahe would come back.

"Braised pork, I have to go buy some pork belly quickly so that I can eat it when Xiaohe comes back." Tao Xing muttered to herself as she went to buy meat.

The carriage passed through the village and many people stood on both sides watching.

Yu Jiahe lifted the car curtain and greeted people on both sides from time to time.

Two guards were driving the carriage, sitting on the left and the right. When they heard the voice behind them, they felt that this young lady seemed to be quite popular in the village, and many people passing by knew her.

After leaving the village, Yu Jiahe let down the curtain.

The carriage was spacious inside, with lots of cushions, so I didn't feel much of the bumps. It also had some calming incense.

After walking for a long time, we arrived at the county town.

Jiuxianlou is already the best restaurant in the county, but Su Hongyang still feels it is a bit shabby. The tea cups are crudely made, not to mention the dining utensils.

Fortunately, it has a large location and a separate private room.

He waited for a long time, but the person didn't show up.

Could it be that just like Grandma Cai, I can’t invite her over?

Su Hongyang waved her sleeves. How could an elder not come to invite a younger person? It was really uncultured. When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she would definitely ask the nanny to teach her what the rules were.

"My lord, the young lady is here." The guard's report interrupted his thoughts. He looked over and saw Yu Jiahe behind them.

Grandma Cai was right, this child really looks like her.

"Let them serve the food." Su Hongyang ordered in a low voice, and called Yu Jiahe to come and sit down.

Yu Jiahe sat there obediently, and she didn't move either until he did.

After a long silence, Su Hongyang spoke first, "I am your father. You were kidnapped by thieves when you were a child. I have been looking for you for many years and finally found you now. Come back to the mansion with me. I will take good care of you and make up for all the suffering you have endured over the years."

"I know how to find the child if she's lost." Yu Jiahe said bluntly, "You said I'm your daughter, what evidence do you have?"

Su Hongyang pointed at his face and said, "We look exactly the same. Isn't that enough to prove that I am your father?"

Yu Jiahe chuckled, "The world is so big, it's not surprising that there are people who look alike."

This child's words are really rude. If it were the one at home, how dare he speak to me like that?

"You have been missing for many years and are not familiar with the rules of the noble family. When you return, I will find someone to teach you." Su Hongyang talked to himself.

He was still as arrogant as before, thinking only of his own feelings.

"What if I don't go back?"

Su Hongyang was a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect that even though he came to pick her up in person, she still refused to go back with him. Was she really instigated by her adoptive parents like Grandma Cai?

"Don't worry about your adoptive parents. When you return to the Marquis' Mansion, you will naturally give them a generous reward, which will be regarded as a repayment for their kindness in raising you."

"You said you are my father, but where is my mother? Why didn't she come? Isn't she worried about losing her own daughter?"

Yu Jiahe emphasized the word "biological" very strongly.

Su Hongyang touched his nose unnaturally, "Your mother became sick because she was worried about you getting lost, and she hasn't been in good health since then, so she didn't come."

Yu Jiahe sneered, "Since you got sick because of my loss, shouldn't you be cured by seeing my body? Why haven't you seen me yet?"

"This is a long story. You will know when you arrive at the Marquis' Mansion." Su Hongyang hesitated, making it clear that he didn't want to say more.

Yu Jiahe naturally knew why he didn't say it, because someone had already replaced her in the Marquis' Mansion.

After she was taken away, Lady Liang Xinyue of the Marquis's Mansion was bedridden due to the grief of losing her daughter, and her condition showed no signs of improvement.

Su Hongyang then went to find a baby girl who looked like her and pretended to be her.

Liang Xinyue loves her lost daughter so much that she is afraid that she will melt if she holds her in her mouth, and afraid that she will break if she holds her in her hands. It can be said that she is the apple of her eye.

Su Hongyang originally thought that he could just bring his biological daughter back and explain things to Liang Xinyue. She would definitely be happy to have her biological daughter back. If the adopted daughter didn't mind, it wouldn't be too difficult for an idle person to raise her in the Marquis' Mansion.

But he never expected that Liang Xinyue thought Yu Jiahe was his illegitimate daughter at first sight, because they looked so much alike, and she became hysterical without waiting for any explanation.

Su Hongyang once swore that after marrying Liang Xinyue, he would never take another concubine and would only love her for the rest of his life.

Liang Xinyue thought she was betrayed because the other person's child was the same age as her own. She cried day and night and refused to listen to anything others said.

Su Hongyang asked Yu Jiahe not to appear in front of her for the time being and wait until she was in a better mood before talking about this matter.

Su Pingting, the adopted daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, also followed suit to persuade Liang Xinyue. Later, her mood improved and she accepted the fact that there was an illegitimate daughter in the Marquis' Mansion.

But once the topic of Yu Jiahe's life story came up, she would become emotional again, and no one dared to talk about it.

In her previous life, Yu Jiahe had been enduring it. She hoped that one day her mother would no longer be hostile to her after knowing the truth. She did not ask her to love her as much as she loved Su Pingting, but as long as she spoke to her gently, she would be willing to do anything.

At the beginning, Su Pingting helped her integrate into the Marquis' Mansion and introduced her to friends.

Those young masters and ladies would never look down upon Yu Jiahe, who grew up in the countryside. They laughed at her, but Su Pinting would always stand by her side, comforting her and encouraging her. However, everything changed after one Mid-Autumn Night.
