Chapter 33 (2/2)
She didn’t have any feelings for her eldest daughter anyway, so it didn’t matter if this was her daughter or niece. The most important thing was to accomplish her goals without incurring any losses for herself.
However, Liang Xiuqin had no idea that in the twenty-some years since she had left Muyang, Dezheng Temple had already been commercialized by tourism.
The monks in the temples now relied on setting up stalls and telling fortunes to earn pocket money. The so-called fortune-telling by birth charts was merely a fancy t.i.tle.
Liang Xiuqin drank the tea served by Liang Xinyi and was very accepting of this flattery. She looked at Liang Xinyi with a bit less harshness than before.
She had just set another cup when she saw the housekeeper rush into the room with a frantic expression.
“Madam, there’s a girl outside and she claims that she’s the real Miss Yun Xi…”
As soon as the caretaker stopped speaking, the teacup in Liang Xiuqin’s smashed onto the ground and broke into pieces.
Liang Xinyi’s face also fell instantly as she quickly turned to Liang Xiuqin, a strong feeling of unease immediately rising in her heart.
“No! This is impossible!” she thought, frantic.
“Yun Xi, that wretched girl, had already fallen off the cliff, so this can’t possibly be her!”
“It absolutely can’t be her!”
Liang Xinyi felt slightly relieved when she recalled this thought.
But while Liang Xinyi was relieved, Liang Xiuqin didn’t dare to act carelessly.
She looked at Liang Xinyi with a twisted expression as she walked outside with the dignified manner of an official’s wife.
The second daughter of the Yuns, Yun Ziling, so happened to come downstairs at that time. She also followed them with curiosity when she heard the caretaker say this.
When she’d seen this country b.u.mpkin yesterday, she’d a.s.sumed she was a new maid. She had never expected her to be her older sister!
She was none other than the wealthy heiress of the Yun family; it already was a big enough joke for her to have a country b.u.mpkin for a sister—she hadn’t expected there would be another imposter coming today!
It was true that strange things happened every year, but there were especially many occurrences this year!
