When she woke up again, Cheng Songan was lying back on the bed. She was eager to get out of bed, but Cui Yuanqing held her down: "You got angry and vomited blood. Rest for a while and I will take you to see Doctor Sun right away."

Cheng Songan's eyes were still red, and he stared at Cui Yuanqing and asked, "Who is she? Is she Xue Tingyun? Where did she take my sister?"

Cui Yuanqing held her hands, knowing that she was confused due to her concern, and slowly comforted her: "Tingyun is two years older than you, how could it be her?"

Cheng Songan gradually regained her senses. She was shocked and anxious when she suddenly discovered the secret. She didn't have time to think about many things.

Yes, Xue Tingyun is two years older than her, which means she is four or five years older than Wanxin. It is impossible for her to pretend to be Wanxin.

Cheng Songan quickly went over everything in her mind. What she was sure of was that when she had just returned from Yizhou, her sister was still there. She had liked to cling to her since she was a child, and when they met again after a long separation, she excitedly bought her cloud cakes to welcome her. Since she was in poor health, she begged her to tell her about the naughty things that happened in Yizhou every day, just like she was running around the mountains and fields with her sister.

Seeing that she longed for freedom, Cheng Songan had someone build a swing for her in Jingqiuzhai. He pushed her and swung high up. Her laughter flew out of the wall. She even turned her head to look at her to see if she was still pushing.

Later, Wanxin's health deteriorated. At first, she had a high fever that wouldn't go away. After it went away, she was bedridden. Not only could the doctors in the palace not cure her, but even the imperial physicians from the palace were helpless. Aunt Shen cried every day, but it was her mother who made the decision and allowed her to take Wanxin out to seek medical treatment.

"Five years!" Cheng Songan said as if awakened from shock, "You said that five years ago, she brought that painting to see you. It was at that time that she replaced Wanxin."

"At that time, Aunt Shen often took her out to seek medical treatment or pray to Buddha, so I rarely saw Wanxin that year. It was at that time that she met and replaced Wanxin. Wanxin has been in her hands for five years!"

"She has been controlling Aunt Shen and Wanxin for nearly a year. She is already familiar with them and has learned a lot about our relationship from Wanxin. Since then, she has started to learn how to play the role of Wanxin."

"Maybe at first she would borrow some disguise like Si Tui did, but children's appearance will change. In the past five years, she has torn off her disguise little by little, but her appearance has penetrated into the minds of everyone in the Cheng family. It is not easy to detect her slight changes when you are with her day and night."

"Who else but Aunt Shen would have thought of someone playing a sickly girl?"

After Cui Yuanqing heard her finish her words in one breath, her whole body was shaking abnormally. Her condition was very bad, and it seemed that if she got any more excited, she would vomit blood again.

"She definitely can't be Ting Yun." Cui Yuanqing's voice was not loud, as if he was afraid of irritating her again. After saying this, he paused for a moment. Seeing that she did not have any strong opposition, he continued, "Ting Yun's age doesn't match. When the Xue family confiscated her property, she was already a teenager. It's impossible for her to pretend to be Wan Xin."

Cheng Songan did not respond, but just stared deeply into his eyes, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Cui Yuanqing knew that there was one thing that could not be denied, this person must be related to the Xue family and Xue Tingyun.

He was silent for a while, then spoke again: "The assassin outside the city is indeed from the Xue family, but this is the only information we can get from him. No more information can be obtained. It seems that he doesn't know the identity of this fake Wanxin either."

After a pause, he continued, "I didn't give it to you before because I thought I could get information about Ting Yun, but..."

But no, these people said, Xue Tingyun had died long ago.

It was not until now that Cui Yuanqing was willing to admit that Xue Tingyun was really dead, and that this fake Cheng Wanxin must have been very close to her when she was alive, so she took the painting and kept looking for him, giving him and Situi hope, so that they could trust her unconditionally and protect her.

"The fifth girl is not dead." Cheng Songan had not spoken for a long time. When he said this, his emotions had completely calmed down and he was confident.

She said firmly: "She is not dead. I have no evidence, but I can feel that she is not dead."

Cui Yuanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again. If she was really alive, all this might have been instigated by her. She hated the Cheng family, hated the Cheng family's grandfather for destroying the Xue family, and hated Cheng Songan for exposing her hiding place.

She also hated herself and Si Tui, so she refused to come out. She wanted to watch him and Cheng Song An fall in love and hate each other. If nothing unexpected happened, he and Cheng Song An should have been a lifelong couple of enemies just like in her dream.

He didn't believe it. Ting Yun was not that kind of person. She was probably gone, and the person who had lived with her was avenging her.

"I want to go to Cui Mansion!" After Cheng Songan calmed down, he became serious.

This time, Cui Yuanqing became the one who lost his soul. He opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "It's too late. I will go back tomorrow morning."

The later he goes back, the later he will have to face the truth, the later he will have to face the fact that Tingyun is gone, and the later he will have to face the guilt of Shitui.

Cheng Songan walked to the window, looked at the vast night, and suddenly found that she was no longer afraid of the darkness. The despair she felt when she died in her previous life had dissipated a little. If it wasn't for Wan Xin's fault, she no longer had to live in the pain of turning against her own sister and causing unrest in her home.

What she has to do now is more important than killing that man. She has to rescue Wanxin. She must be waiting for her to rescue her.

In her previous life, she died without knowing the truth. How long did Wanxin wait? Did she finally learn that she did not live past 30? What happened to her later...

Cheng Songan didn't dare to think about it anymore, she was afraid that she would go crazy. No matter what in this life, she must save Wan Xin.

She put the purple gold crown back on her head, packed up the small bundle, put it on her back, and said to Cui Yuanqing expressionlessly, "I can't wait any longer."

After saying that, without waiting for Cui Yuanqing's reaction, she turned over and jumped out of the window. Although her kung fu was not as good as Cui Yuanqing's, the three-story attic was not a problem for her.

She was like a clever cat, moving down from the third floor to the first floor. The waiter in the lobby knew nothing about it. He just thought that the guests upstairs were sleeping soundly. However, Cheng Songan had already figured out the direction in the dark and quickly headed towards Cui's house.

Similarly, the gate and walls of the Cui family could no longer trap her. She leaped a few times and jumped into the Osmanthus Garden in the southwest corner.

The lights in the upper room of Guihua Garden were on. Cheng Songan hesitated for a moment and then broke in through the window. She was prepared to make some noise, but she did not expect the upper room to be so quiet, without a single maid.

"Sister, I knew you would come." A faint voice came from the chaise longue under the window.
