Yu Jiahe smiled faintly, "I don't know what exactly Nanny has misunderstood. When my mother gave birth to me, the midwife watched me being born. The whole village knew about this, but you just said without any evidence that I was a young lady from your mansion. Then why didn't you see anyone from the Marquis's mansion? Or is there no Marquis's mansion at all, and it was all your trick?

My family is small to begin with, and my father, the pillar of the family, is paralyzed. You just think that my family is easy to bully. Today, this silver belongs to my family. If you come and recognize the wrong person someday and want all the silver back, who can stop you? What should I do then? Isn’t it you who has the final say on right and wrong? "

Granny Cai was so shocked by what she heard that she wondered for a moment whether she had recognized the wrong person.

But there is more than just the jade pendant, this appearance says it all.

But she firmly believed that she was the biological daughter of this family, so it seemed that she had to start with the young lady's adoptive parents.

The people watching the show outside were originally admiring the Yu family for being so lucky. They would not refuse the five hundred taels that were offered to them by others. This was something they could not earn back in several lifetimes. It was just a daughter. If they said she was their biological daughter, then let them do as they pleased. The most important thing was to get the money.

After hearing what Yu Jiahe said, I finally came to my senses.

She was right. If they felt they had recognized the wrong person, they would take the money back. But if an innocent girl left with someone else, who would know what she would be like when she came back?

It’s really terrifying when you think about it.

He also felt that Yu Jiahe was a smart person. If someone could give him so much money, he would have followed him long ago.

"Miss, you are worrying too much. I would never recognize the wrong person. If you are still not reassured, then I swear in front of so many people that I will never ask for the money back even if I recognized the wrong person." Granny Cai wanted to comfort Yu Jiahe first.

"She doesn't even want the five hundred taels of silver. What she said must be true. There might really be some hidden secret. What if she is really wrong?"

"Come on, how could a young lady from a marquis's mansion end up in a poor place like ours?"

"It would be great if my daughter could be favored by a nobleman. I would never be able to spend all the five hundred taels of silver in my lifetime, and I could live a carefree life in the future."

Granny Cai listened to the whispers of the people below her, and a smile appeared unconsciously on her lips, with some contempt in her eyes.

She said that how could this group of ignorant peasants resist the temptation of silver. It was just a mere 500 taels, and they could not earn it back even if they tried their best.

She looked straight at Tao Xing and said, "Madam, our young lady is a royal daughter. If you really want to do good for her, take the money and let her go back to the Marquis' Mansion. That is where she should live."

"I..." Tao Xing lowered her head.

Yu Jiahe held her hand and gave her strength. This was a hurdle that she should face on her own. She had to stand firm and not waver every time, fearing that she would suffer and that she would leave her.

Tao Xing shook her hand back, squeezing it so hard it hurt a little.

"Why are you still hesitating? It's just a daughter. Just send her away. The real thing is to use the money to build a new house and marry a beautiful wife to your son."

"Do you think everyone thinks that daughters are worthless like you do?"

"No matter how good a girl is, she will eventually marry into another family. She will still be an outsider. Besides, who can get 500 taels of silver for marrying off their daughter? Even 5 taels of silver is considered good."

There was a lot of noise outside. Tao Xing seemed to have figured something out. She raised her head and looked directly at Granny Cai. "Xiao He is my daughter, my biological daughter, not some marquis lady."

Yu Jiahe grinned, "Yes, I am your biological daughter."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Tao Xing felt that all her previous confusion and hesitation had disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief after saying that.

It was as if the stone pressing on him was gone.

My daughter can give up her wealth and glory and live a poor life with me, so why should I let her go to a place she doesn't want to go in the name of doing good for her?

"I think you are crazy. You come to my house every day to snatch my daughter from me. If you want her so badly, just go and have another one. Get out of here right now, or I will kick you out with a broom."

Tao Xing said this and went to find a broom.

Yu Jiahe handed it to her directly, "Mom, be careful not to hurt your hands."

Her mother dared to chop people with a knife, so what is a broom?

Granny Cai quickly packed up her things, got on the carriage, and rode away without stopping.

Looking at the people fleeing in panic, Tao Xing finally let out a sigh of relief.

I have long been annoyed by her contemptuous look. She thinks they are so powerful, but she is still scared to death by me.

He dares to paint his own daughter like this.

Humph.

Next time you see her coming, call her out.

"Stop looking, stop looking. Go home quickly and cook and eat. Have you finished all the housework? Are you still waiting for me to invite you to dinner?" Tao Xing persuaded everyone to leave.

After closing the door, her heart, which had been beating fast, finally calmed down. In fact, she was also afraid just now.

"Mom, you did a great job just now. You are the best mom."

Yu Jiahe gave her affirmation, letting her know that she had done well enough.

There was a knock on the door.

"I told you to go home quickly, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Yu Jiaye was stunned when he knocked on the door. Why was his mother so fierce today?

When Tao Xing saw that it was her son who came back, she quickly changed her expression to a gentle one, "Yer is back, did you gain anything today?"

The speed at which his expression changed was so fast, as if everything that just happened was Yu Jiaye's own illusion.

He shook his head. Ever since he shot a deer last time, he had been full of confidence in himself. As long as he could bring back some prey every day, he would be able to hold on no matter how difficult it was. Unfortunately, he had gained nothing in the past few days.

"It's okay. It's not uncommon for your father to not be able to hunt anything. You don't have to worry too much. Mom will go see if there is any embroidery work tomorrow to supplement the family income."

Or maybe I'm too useless. Dad never wanted to let Mom go out to work.

Yu Jiaye sighed and asked again, "When I came back just now, I found that many people in the village were here, and they kept looking at me and talking. Did something happen at home?"

Tao Xing briefly recounted what had just happened.

"They are simply going too far. If they come again in the future, I will deal with it. I am already grown up and don't need to hide behind my mother."

Tao Xing was deeply moved by her son and daughter.

Blood relationship is not that important, as long as the family’s hearts are together, it’s good.

Yu Jiahe became busy in the following days. She read medical books, massaged Yu Shansong's legs, and asked Shi Junya for advice when she didn't understand something.

Shi Junya was very satisfied with this apprentice, who was smart, hardworking, and could understand things quickly.

"Master, I saw a book about medicinal baths. Can I use this recipe to soak my father's feet?"

There was a line of beautifully written small calligraphy on the paper, which must have taken a lot of effort. However, the little apprentice's family did not seem to have the conditions for her to practice calligraphy.

Shi Junya suppressed his doubts.

Who doesn't have a secret? Hasn't she ever asked about my own secrets?
