"What did you say!"
Now everyone was shocked, including the emperor. The emperor looked up and down Tao Yao, wondering if all this was true.
The one who reacted the most was Wei Shu. Will the secret she has buried in her heart for so long finally be revealed today?
No wonder I felt uneasy when I saw Taoyao for the first time. I didn't expect that she was actually the biological daughter of her father and mother!
Impossible, how could it be like this?
She clearly overheard the news that her biological daughter had not been found, and she clearly heard the news that her biological daughter was dead. How come she has become His Majesty's most trusted saint now?
The Duke and his wife were even more shocked, but a vague joy followed immediately.
Their biological daughter has become His Majesty's most trusted saint. In the future, won't the Duke's Palace be able to take advantage of it?
Wei Zhao also felt baffled. His biological sister was not Wei Shu, and the saint in front of him was talking nonsense. After looking at his father and mother's reactions, his heart suddenly sank.
Is all this true? Isn't Wei Shu his biological sister? Or is this saint her biological sister?
What was going on all this? He felt a little confused. What on earth had happened?
"Looking at your biological daughter, standing in front of you alive now, you don't seem happy at all? If you really wanted to find me, how could you only send someone to find me once? It means you don't want to I show up!"
Taoyao looked into the eyes of the Duke and his wife and smiled sarcastically.
It’s not that she didn’t feel the family’s joy, it was just that she felt that she had now become His Majesty’s most trusted saint, and if he recognized her as a useful daughter, the entire Duke’s palace would benefit!
If it was that silly girl who only laughed and drooled, then everyone would be disgusted with her, and they would even wish they had never given birth to such a silly daughter!
ridiculous! How ridiculous!
Lu Chen looked at Taoyao distressedly, is everything actually like this?
So my sister came to the capital just to gain His Majesty's trust, and also for today's matter, just so that His Majesty's identity can suppress the Duke's palace.
It turns out that everything is like this.
The emperor's sharp eyes wandered around Taoyao and Guo Kungfu's family, and he understood what he just said.
No wonder Lu Chen would drag him here at night, so all this was done intentionally by the saint, and she wanted him to come here to deliver justice.
"Are you really my biological daughter?" Mrs. Guogong stretched out her hand and pointed at Taoyao tremblingly, "But how did you know that you are our daughter?"
"I was raised by an old woman. She saw a woman putting a baby in a haystack, and heard the woman say something like the Duke's Mansion." Tao Yao changed her painting style. "I am a saint personally consecrated by His Majesty. How can I not know anything?"
Tao Yao was looking at Wei Shu's eyes as she looked at her up and down. She was not afraid of this young lady from the Duke's Mansion, and naturally she was not afraid of her looking eyes either.
The Duke and his wife looked at each other. If this saint was really their biological daughter, that would be a great thing. That would be great!
"If you are really my daughter, it is really our blessing. We can finally get you back!"
The Duke's wife gave a stiff smile and wanted to come over and hold Tao Yao's hand, but Tao Yao avoided her and could only stand aside in embarrassment for a moment.
In fact, even though she knew that Taoyao in front of her was her biological daughter, she still felt nothing in her heart because all her love was given to Wei Shu.
To her, Taoyao was just a girl she had only met once. How could she have such deep feelings?
Wei Shu bit her lip in grievance, almost making it bleed. What she feared most finally happened. It turned out that the uneasy thoughts in her heart were all right. This Tao Yao was a disaster.
What does Tao Yao want to do when she reveals her identity in front of His Majesty? Does she want to take back everything she owns? Does she want to take over her position as the young lady of the Duke's Palace?
She is obviously already a saint, so why is she still fighting for these things with herself? Why does she still appear?
Her heart was pounding in panic. She didn't know what she had done wrong. When the children were exchanged, she was just a baby, so what could she decide?
What's more, haven't you done anything up to now? You just enjoyed the love of your parents and brothers. Do you have to blame yourself for all this?
"What you like is not the daughter, but the identity of this saint. If today I am not a saint trusted by His Majesty, but just an ordinary girl humbled to the dust, would you still be willing to accept me?"
In fact, the answer is already obvious. Even in the original world, the Duke's family would still not be welcomed if they took the silly girl back.
She was even afraid that Wei Shu would feel wronged, but she loved Wei Shu even more than before. As for the silly girl, she could just bring her back and give her a mouthful of food, but she still couldn't go out to meet people, so she could just keep her in the house without being embarrassed.
What's more, they only told the outside world that they had picked up a poor girl, and never made it clear who the silly girl was, because deep down they felt that the silly girl was too embarrassing.
From the beginning to the end, Wei Shu was recognized by them as the daughter of the Duke of Guo. They gave Wei Shu all their love, all their status, and everything they had.
All that was left to the silly girl was the cold lotus pond.
"I only have one sister, Wei Shu. You and I have never met each other before, so what if we are related by blood? We have never gotten along well for a day, and Wei Shu and I have only grown up together, so naturally I only have her. younger sister!"
Wei Zhao looked at Tao Yao with extremely cold eyes. In fact, he felt that what he said was not wrong.
Even if what the girl in front of them said was true and she was indeed a relative with whom they were related by blood, she had never gotten along well for a day. She didn't know the other person's living habits and had no feelings at all.
And he and Wei Shu had grown up together. How could they cut off the relationship that had lasted for more than ten years?
"elder brother."
Wei Shu's eyes were filled with tears. Tonight was the moment she was most afraid of. The secret was finally revealed.
But she didn't expect that her brother would still be on her side after all. Thanks to the friendship they grew up with, he wouldn't give up on her so easily.
The Duke and his wife looked a little ugly. In fact, what they were thinking was what Wei Zhao said just now.
After all, the one they loved most in their hearts was Wei Shu, the daughter they had loved since childhood. Taoyao in front of them was really just a stranger to them.
Even though he told the truth that she was his biological daughter, when he looked at Taoyao, he didn't have that kind of love. On the contrary, he didn't dare to look into her eyes.
"Your Majesty," Tao Yao didn't intend to pay attention to these people, "I believe you have understood what happened just now. I don't like the family in front of me very much, and I don't want to see them again in the future."
"I understand what the saint means."
The emperor nodded. The Duke's family was naturally more important than the Saint. The Saint had been the best assistant in handling all the important affairs of the government for him recently.
"Let's go, I don't want to be here anymore."
Tao Yao took Lu Chen's hand and walked out. The affairs of the Duke's family finally came to an end, and then came the affairs in the palace.
"The Duke's palace abandoned his own daughter, which was not allowed by heaven. He stripped her of her title and demoted her to a commoner."
After giving the order, the emperor flicked his sleeves and strode away.
The saint had just said it herself that she didn't want to see this family again, so naturally he had to do what he wanted to do to satisfy the saint.
What's more, what the Duke's family has done is indeed a bit unbelievable.
It's really ridiculous to prefer to raise other people's daughters as if they were rich ladies, but to ignore your own biological daughter.
"His Majesty!"
The Duke knelt on the ground and had no chance to plead for mercy. He could only look helplessly at His Majesty's leaving figure.
No one knew that His Majesty would issue such a severe punishment just because of the Saint's words. It seems that the Saint's status in His Majesty's heart is indeed very important.
If only they really recognized their daughter, they would never end up like today, but they offended their daughter because of what they just did!
At this moment, everyone felt regretful. No matter what, even if it was because of the status of the saint, they could just coax her into good health, but...
But Wei Shu didn't care, as long as Tao Yao didn't come back, as long as her parents and brother still loved her.
So what if these identities are gone, as long as the family is still together.
"It turns out that everything my sister did was because of these things. Why didn't my sister tell me?"
After going out, Lu Chen and Tao Yao were walking on the street. It was already late at night and they were the only two people on the road.
"Because these things are just trivial matters in my opinion. I never take them seriously, but suddenly I have the opportunity to solve this matter."
Taoyao smiled nonchalantly and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Yes, she didn't take these things seriously in the first place, but she just found a time today to come out and just solve this matter.
She is not a real silly girl, nor does she really regard them as her relatives, so she can do whatever she wants.
If you express your thoughts clearly in front of His Majesty and say directly that you don't want to see the Duke's family again in the future, Your Majesty will know how to deal with it.
Lu Chen didn't speak, just stayed by Taoyao's side silently, and suddenly boldly stretched out his hand to hold Taoyao's hand.
Taoyao felt this move and just smiled.
Lu Chen seems to be living a happy life in this life. At least he has never been bullied or wronged by her side, so he should be satisfied, right?
"Are you happy being around me?"
Taoyao turned her head and looked at Lu Chen beside her.
"Well," Lu Chen nodded, "Being with my sister is my happiest day."
Mo Ran's thoughts suddenly returned to his childhood. At that time, he felt that every day was dark and lightless, and suddenly his sister appeared. After being brought to her sister, those dark and lightless days slowly moved away from him.
Since then, my whole life has been sunny, and there will never be any resentment again.
He knows that his sister has never been an ordinary person, and he also knows that his sister has extraordinary abilities, but he is not afraid!
He even feels that he is really lucky to have such a powerful sister. He is very grateful to be able to pull him out of such a dark period.
"As long as you feel happy in life!"
Tao Yao looked at the stars in the sky and smiled. In this way, the mission in this world can be considered successfully completed, right?
Lu Chen is now quietly following him, looking at everything calmly. The resentment in his heart has finally slowly dissipated, which is good.
