Chapter 783 You're Amazing Too
Looking at the bewildered Sheng Yunruo, Lu Yangyang said softly,
"I almost ended up like you."
"Hmm?" Sheng Yunruo, who was lost in thought, was caught off guard by Lu Yangyang's voice. She looked at her in confusion, but soon she realized that Lu Yangyang had been deliberately switched and had stayed in the countryside until she was a teenager before returning to the Duke's Mansion. Facing Sheng Yunzhu, who had grown up and worked in the Duke's Mansion for many years, her days back in the mansion would probably not be easy.
She knew Sheng Yunzhu too well. Before, she hadn't understood why Sheng Yunzhu couldn't tolerate her, even though they were sisters. It wasn't until she learned Sheng Yunzhu's true identity that she understood; Sheng Yunzhu's jealousy wasn't without reason. From the beginning, Sheng Yunzhu knew she was an imposter, even less legitimate than Sheng Yunzhu, an unfavored illegitimate daughter. That's why she went to great lengths to suppress her, ensuring she had no chance of advancement in the Duke's mansion's main branch.
What about Lu Yangyang? Sheng Yunzhu stole Lu Yangyang's identity and impersonated her for more than ten years. Now that Lu Yangyang has returned to the Duke of Sheng's mansion, how could Sheng Yunzhu let her go?
but……
“How dare she? You are your mother’s biological daughter…” Sheng Yunruo didn’t understand. She herself couldn’t ask her father and mother for anything, but Lu Yangyang was different. She was maliciously switched at birth. She, who should have been living a life of luxury, suffered a lot in the countryside. When she returned to the Duke’s mansion, her mother, with her personality, would definitely do everything she could to make it up to her.
Just like when Sheng Yunzhu returned to the mansion, her mother was so happy that she wanted to bring everything to Sheng Yunzhu every day.
She understood her mother's joy at having the child back, and knew that the child was a source of heartache for her mother, which was why she dared not ask her mother to make a decision for her.
But Lu Yangyang is her mother's biological daughter, the one her mother truly cares about!
"I was switched by Nurse He because Sheng Yunzhu instigated it." Lu Yangyang's words made the confusion in Sheng Yunruo's eyes disappear, leaving only fear.
If she had complained about three-year-old Sheng Yunzhu back then, no one would have believed her.
So she had no choice but to keep that matter a secret.
But now, finally some people can understand that what she was facing back then was three-year-old Sheng Yunzhu.
Lu Yangyang could see Sheng Yunruo's fear, but she couldn't explain to Sheng Yunruo about Sheng Yunzhu's rebirth. In fact, it didn't matter whether she was reborn or not. Sheng Yunzhu was kind by nature, and even if she was reborn, she wouldn't do such evil things.
Moreover, Sheng Yunzhu's mind had long been warped by her daily jealousy and resentment.
“At Sheng Yunzhu’s urging, He Nanny ruined my appearance and threw me into the mountains, while she took Sheng Yunzhu and substituted me for her in the capital. I grew up alone in the countryside of Qingzhou, making a living in the city, so I learned some skills.”
Lu Yangyang's words piqued Sheng Yunruo's interest again, "Craftsmanship? Is it medical skill?"
Lu Yangyang nodded: "I've learned a little bit of everything, and I also know a bit of medicine, so when I returned to the capital, I was already able to support myself. The reason I say 'almost' is because when I went back to the capital, I wanted to see what my family was like, and why they didn't even recognize their own children, even though Sheng Yunzhu doesn't look like them at all. I wanted to see if they would accept me. The He family almost killed me, and Sheng Yunzhu occupied more than ten years of my life. Would they seek justice for me?"
“Then…” Sheng Yunruo began with difficulty. Even though Lu Yangyang hadn’t said what was coming next, she could already guess a bit of what was going to happen.
“Apart from my eldest brother and Jiaojiao, no one wants to send Sheng Yunzhu away.” Lu Yangyang’s voice was calm, as if she wasn’t talking about her own situation.
Sheng Yunruo couldn't help but tear up.
She understands everything.
The mother couldn't bear to part with Sheng Yunzhu. She had raised her for so many years, put in so much effort and emotion, and she couldn't bear to see Sheng Yunzhu go back to suffer.
Father wouldn't be willing to part with her either. He has always valued ability. Sheng Yunzhu is on good terms with the Third Prince and has a good reputation among the noble ladies in the capital. She will definitely become an asset to the Duke of Sheng's mansion in the future, so Father would never send her away.
Grandmother always cared only about Father's opinion, and since Sheng Yunzhu could make her happy, she was even less likely to send Sheng Yunzhu away. On the contrary, she would spoil Sheng Yunzhu even more.
As for the others, since the eldest brother is not in the capital, the younger brothers will not disobey their father.
Lu Yangyang returned to the capital, but in the inner quarters of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, she was just as isolated and helpless.
Jiaojiao is simple-minded and doesn't get along with Sheng Yunzhu, so she might help Lu Yangyang. But her second aunt is shrewd, and the second branch can't control the first branch. The fact that she can secretly provide some convenience is already a sign of her kindness.
Having personally experienced such a situation, she understood better than anyone else what kind of situation Lu Yangyang would face after returning to the capital.
She looked at Lu Yangyang with heartache, but Lu Yangyang smiled and said, "What I'm about to say is what I really want to tell you."
Sheng Yunruo was taken aback.
Lu Yangyang continued, "I have seen the truth clearly, so I no longer expect them to give me justice. The justice I want, I will get myself."
“Big sister, you are the same. You saw your own situation clearly, so you bravely found and took advantage of the opportunity to find a way out for yourself, left the Duke of Sheng’s mansion, and had a new life. You are also very capable.”
Sheng Yunruo looked at Lu Yangyang in a daze. Lu Yangyang's words were a response to her question, "Am I really useless?"
This little girl, who was in the same situation as her, or even in a more difficult one, told her so earnestly that she was not useless, but very capable.
The gloom that Sheng Yunruo had suppressed in her heart for many years, the breath she couldn't exhale even after hearing the news of Sheng Yunzhu's death, suddenly burst forth at this moment.
Tears streamed down her face, but the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a smile.
The lingering sorrow in her eyes, which she could never shake off, gradually began to fade away, accompanied by an ever-growing smile.
Looking at Sheng Yunruo, who was both crying and laughing, Yu's mother, unusually, did not try to comfort her, because she herself was already in tears.
She had watched the young woman grow up and knew how difficult her life had been. She felt sorry for her, but she was just a servant and there was nothing she could do but stay by her side.
She prayed to the gods and Buddhas every day, hoping that Heaven would have mercy on this poor girl. Now all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens have heard her prayers. How wonderful!
very nice.
The door wasn't completely closed. Outside, Huo Lin and Sheng Junyi listened clearly to the long confession. Huo Lin clenched his fists several times, veins bulging, and looked at Sheng Junyi as if she were a dead person.
Finally, the two exchanged a glance, tacitly pretending they had never been there, and left together, heading to the study.
As soon as he entered the room, Huo Lin's fist came flying straight at Sheng Junyi's face.
Sheng Junyi raised his chin at just the right moment, his fist missing his face and landing on his chin, leaving a large, almost bleeding red mark.
