Chapter 283 That Daughter
buzzing.

Qiaoyu was stunned.

She stared blankly at the old lady, unable to speak for a long time.

The old lady didn't speak either.

Those words have been thought over and over in her heart many times.

After the initial opening was cut, it was not difficult for the old lady to continue talking.

However, for Qiaoyu who listened to her story, it was the most difficult moment.

This kind of difficulty is not rejection or doubt, but ignorance.

People are ignorant, and their brains are ignorant.

No matter how heartfelt the sincere words are, they cannot be completely conveyed to Qiaoyu's heart.

It's worse than going in the left ear and going out the right ear.

The old lady knows very well that the word "urgent" is the most taboo at this time.

Gotta slow down, more slowly.

Give your child more time to accept.

Rather than when the head is muddy, add more things in one go.

This is all stiff and blocked, how can it be smoothed out later?

Qiaoyu is different from Nianzhi.

Nianzhi has doubted and pursued for more than ten years, and he is prepared for everything.

Qiaoyu is indeed the one who doesn't know.

Even though some puzzles have arisen in her heart recently, she has never thought about her own life experience.

The old lady was not in a hurry to explain, nor did she rush her, she just held her daughter's hand, not very tight, but did not let go.

After a long time, Qiaoyu's eyes became brighter.

"Nubi..." She started, her voice trembling, "Is this your biological daughter?"

The old lady nodded firmly.

Qiaoyu bit her lip.

Just now, she didn't think about anything.

Or rather, she tried to think hard, but her mind went blank.

Now, she can tidy up a little bit, the old lady's words give her the feeling that there are only three words.

"Not true".

Because her life in the first 20 years was too real.

Loving grandmother, gentle mother, honest father, lovely younger brother.

Every day, every year she spent at home, was real.

She is the girl of the family.

Although each family is different, in Qiaoyu's impression, grandmother, parents, younger brother, they should be like that.

After entering the mansion, her identity changed and she became a maid.

It is also true that she is diligent in doing her own thing well and living every day down-to-earth.

And the old lady's words overturned her 20 years of life.

Yes, folk girls and girls from the Duke's Mansion are really chosen when they are reincarnated. Nine out of ten people will choose the latter.

But she is not reincarnated now.

She has grown up and is a person with a living "past".

As a result, her origin is false, her past is false, her parents are also false...

Hesitation and confusion surrounded her like a white mist.

Seeing Qiaoyu's reaction, the old lady gently pinched her fingertips, and said, "I know it will be difficult for you to accept it for a while, and you need to calm down about this matter, let's talk slowly. If you It's very messy, so let's sort it out first, and if I can calm down, I'll talk to you again. What do you think?"

Qiaoyu lowered her eyes.

Chaos is chaos.

It is said that a quick knife cuts the mess.

Hemp can be cut, but life cannot.

No matter how abrupt and unreliable, things are unfolding before her eyes, and she needs to settle down to sort them out.

When she was very young, her grandmother taught her female red.

There is no rush to thread the needle.

To split the line and divide the line, you must be more patient.

Whenever it gets dry for a moment, if you talk about it indiscriminately, that section of thread will be completely useless.

Qiaoyu still remembers the words her grandmother taught her.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, she tried to calm herself down.

"Tell me," Qiaoyu bent her lips and squeezed out a not-so-good-looking smile, "Your servant will listen carefully."

"Nianzhi's biological mother is my cousin..." The old lady slowed down and explained to Qiaoyu what happened that year.

The prince was killed and entrusted the safety of his wife and children to Lin Xuan before his death.

The princess concubine gave birth to a son prematurely. Fortunately, she took good care of her and the child slowly came back.

When the daughter was born, they switched children.

As a parent, how can you not worry about your own children?
But since they chose this path, they could only hold back, and the only thing they could do was to find a reliable and good family for their daughter.

Then, year after year...

Lin Xuan died of illness, she brought Qiaoyu back to her side, she waited together with the eldest princess and Lin Zhi for Nianzhi to grow up, when he could make choices for his own life...

"He figured it out by himself," the old lady said, "Maybe it's the right time, place and people. He figured it out by himself, thought it through thoroughly, and then walked on."

Qiaoyu never spoke.

As she said herself, she was listening to the old lady's story very seriously.

There are too many people and too many choices in this past that has been covered in dust for more than 20 years.

It's not that she can't understand their choices.

She grew up in a relatively affluent folk family, but her grandmother and parents have all experienced troubled times, and they will recall a lot of pain in the past.

After entering the mansion, she learned about Duke Ding's mansion from the nuns.

The feats built, the blood paid.

She doesn't understand such and such things in the court, but she understands what is bravery and what is loyalty.

If she wasn't the daughter in the story, she would definitely applaud and praise her for her righteousness, courage and perseverance.

But she is.

She is that daughter.

What she felt was pain and helplessness.

This kind of emotion does not come from her heart, but from the heart of the old lady.

Obviously, what the old lady wanted to express was only "guilt" towards her, but what she felt was the sincerity that the old lady wanted to hide.

This is mother and daughter...

Whether it is pain or helplessness, it comes from the old lady's own choice.

The old lady wanted to carry it by herself, and never wanted to put pressure on her.

Even unconsciously.

However, they are mother and daughter.

Heart to heart.

How could she not understand?

She is the daughter in the story, so besides admiring her, she will also be sad and heartbroken.

In her childhood when she knew nothing, how did her mother taste her thoughts alone?
The decision back then was a last resort.

There is no room for two babies in swaddling.

It is different now.

The Duke of the State and the Grandson of the Emperor chose to face up to the difficulties.

Then she doesn't want to fall behind.

"Your servant hasn't thought clearly yet," Qiaoyu organized her thoughts, and said frankly, "It's not that I don't believe it, and it's not that I blame anyone, but that my servant, my servant is very hesitant... But I will continue to think and believe in myself Straightened out very quickly and got used to it..."

You can't be a turtle.

Do not cover eyes and ears.

She has wonderful grandmothers and parents.

There is no blood relationship, but upbringing does not distinguish blood relationship.

It doesn't matter whether it's a girl from the Duke's Mansion or a daughter from the bodyguard's family, the principle of standing in the world is the same.

She has to live up to the teachings of her grandmother and adoptive parents.

She also had to be worthy of her biological parents, they couldn't raise her by themselves, but they chose the best home for her.
