Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 307 Are you my daughter?

With the Liu family twisting the truth like this, everyone began to think that there was some truth to it.

Liu Ruyan is not their biological daughter, which is why the Liu family is biased. But such bias would be inevitable in any family.

Even among biological children, it's difficult to treat them all equally, let alone those who aren't biologically related.

If Liu Ruyan were merely the daughter of a maidservant, then exchanging her own daughter for a life of luxury in the mansion would be an incredibly good deal!

"According to this logic, Liu Ruyan does indeed owe the Liu family something, and it's only right that she compensates them with more things; otherwise, how could she have become a young lady of high birth?"

"The whereabouts of the real young lady of the Liu family are still unknown. The Liu family knows this but has kept quiet about it. They are truly very kind."

The situation began to turn one-sided again, with all sorts of opinions circulating, and there was a greater sense of understanding towards the Liu family's harsh behavior.

How could Madam Dong and Zhang Wen possibly swallow this insult?

"Since she's not your biological daughter, why didn't you make that clear earlier? You keep saying Ruyan is living a lucky life, but maybe she was born into a better family and is suffering in yours!"

In her anger, Zhang Wen disregarded the evidence and blurted out that since they didn't know who their biological parents were, it was all just speculation.

Little did she know, she had discovered the truth.

Liu Ruyan had been wondering recently who her biological parents were and why she grew up in the Liu family.

She questioned the servants of the Liu family and learned that Liu's mother had indeed been pregnant for ten months and had indeed given birth to a baby girl, so... she and that baby girl must have been switched.

Could it be that she really was born to the maid, and they were worried that she would suffer, so they specially switched her with the young lady of the Liu family?

If that's the case, the one who will be hurt the most is the real Miss Liu, and she can't blame her biological parents, because they were just trying to give her a good life.

But if they knew the truth, why didn't they come to find her?

"Ruyan, your biological parents switched my child, yet I can treat you like this. Ask yourself honestly, what have I done to wrong you?"

Although you have indeed helped us a lot after you got married, and you may think we are ungrateful, my heart aches whenever I think of my missing child!

Mother Liu pounded her chest sadly, "You have no idea how I've endured these nights since I learned the truth. But I can't bear to kick you out of the house, even though we've been so close for so many years."

"My life is so miserable!"

This tearful outpouring moved those around, and their initial dislike for the Liu family lessened considerably. They realized that they themselves wouldn't have done any better than the Liu family in their place.

Looking at Liu Ruyan's pale face, Old Madam Gu felt a pang of heartache.

She is a good girl.

"Grandma Liu, you may be suffering, but Madam Song has been completely unaware of the truth all these years. All she knows is the favoritism and coercion of her family."

Since you are resentful, why not speak out sooner rather than later? She won't hold a grudge, and she won't knowingly bear your resentment while trying her best to get close to all of you.

"You suffer, but for a child who doesn't know the truth, haven't she suffered all these years of being kept in the dark?" Old Madam Gu spoke up.

Grand Tutor Gu also looked at Lord Liu, "Since you harbor resentment, you should speak frankly and honestly. Instead, you pretend to be generous, making things difficult for yourself and others."

Lord Liu, you should also reflect on your actions.

Looking at the Liu family's superb acting skills, Song Ruozhen felt that these people were quite stupid. If she could figure out that her mother was not her biological child, couldn't she figure out who her biological parents were?

However, since they love to act, let them act for a while.

Those who believe them most now will also be the most furious when the truth is revealed; that's human nature.

"Coincidentally, I calculated that my mother's biological parents are in the capital, and are among the guests who came today!"

The moment Song Ruozhen finished speaking, a look of astonishment flashed across the eyes of everyone present, followed by deep shock.

"Didn't Miss Song help Madam Xu find her long-lost daughter back then? She must be able to figure out who Madam Song's biological parents are!"

"The person is among today's guests, doesn't that mean she is neither a maid nor a country bumpkin?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. The amount of information contained in that sentence was simply too much. They couldn't help but recall which old lady had given birth around the same time as Old Madam Liu, and whose wife was about the same age as Liu Ruyan.

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu was slightly taken aback, as a memory from the past surfaced in her mind.

She remembered bumping into Madam Gu when she was pregnant with Yunwei, and that they even gave birth on the same day.

That day, heavy snow blocked the mountain pass, making travel difficult. To make matters worse, her stomach started to hurt while she was in the temple, and at the same time, it was Old Madam Liu who was giving birth.

That night, two baby girls were born in the temple...

Gu Qingxiu, who was standing to the side, also changed his expression. He had always felt that Liu Ruyan looked quite familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't figure out who she resembled.

Just then, his mother stood next to Liu Ruyan, and he suddenly realized that Liu Ruyan's eyebrows and eyes looked very much like his mother's!

It's not obvious when viewed alone, but standing together now, a sense of familiarity washes over me. How could this be?

Just as Gu Qingxiu was pondering, Old Madam Gu suddenly grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand and examined her closely, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You...you're my daughter?"

Liu Ruyan was suddenly pulled by Old Madam Gu, which made her puzzled. Before she could ask anything, she heard Old Madam Gu's words and was stunned.

"Madam Gu, what did you say?"

However, at this moment, Madam Gu was quite certain of her guess. From the first moment she saw Liu Ruyan, she felt an extraordinary sense of kinship, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Now that I think about it carefully, Yunwei has never been close to them since she was a child, and there is always an indescribable feeling when she is with them.

Seeing the Liu family's behavior today, it's clear they're just like Yun Wei!

Gu Qingyan and Gu Qingzhe naturally knew about the circumstances of their mother's childbirth of their younger sister. Because she was the only girl in the family and the childbirth was particularly dangerous, the whole family took extra care of Gu Yunwei.

Now that we know Liu Ruyan is not our biological daughter, and that my mother and Old Madam Liu gave birth in the same place, what else is there to be confused about?

"I never imagined... that Madam Song is actually our own sister!"

Even with his extensive experience, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but marvel at the changes. Besides surprise, he was also overjoyed.

"I...how could I..."

Liu Ruyan was shocked by this sudden news and couldn't react for a moment. Her biological parents were actually Grand Tutor Gu and Madam Gu.

But their child... isn't it Gu Yunwei?

Song Ruozhen and her siblings exchanged glances. They already knew this would happen, so they were not surprised at all.
