Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

Until his parents passed away one after another, Dong Yang and his mother wanted to go to the capital with him, but Dong Jinghui kept hesitating and repeatedly refused.

Finally, not long after Dong Jinghui once again refused to let the mother and son leave home, Dong Yang's mother secretly took little Dong Yang to Fengdu City.

Dong Yang's mother is a woman after all, how could she not see that something was wrong with her husband?

But what she didn't expect was that her husband didn't take a concubine in Fengdu City as she thought, but had already married another woman a long time ago, and was no longer the ninth-rank official she thought...

What she didn't expect was that her soul would have no way back home, and her young son would become a plaything for others to play with at will.

Ten-year-old Dong Yang hid in the corner of the woodshed and covered his mouth tightly. Right in front of him, his mother was beaten to death by that terrible woman with a stick.

He didn't know where those people took his mother's body. He didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to let those people know that he saw them beat his mother to death with his own eyes.

As Dong Jinghui's eldest son, the woman was fairly nice to him on the surface, but his life became truly difficult only after the woman gave birth to her child.

But Dong Yang understood that he could not do anything for the time being. He did not dare let others know that he was gifted in studying, so he pretended to be stupid again and again.

This made his so-called father dislike him even more. Gradually, the whole Fengdu City knew that the eldest son of Minister Dong was a hopeless piece of shit, and what he was best at doing on weekdays was visiting brothels.

It was also a coincidence that Yu Menghua met Dong Yang. At that time, Wanfeng Pavilion was already well-known in Fengdu City, attracting many literati who liked to write.

There is a place in Wanfeng Pavilion for those who claim to be talented and learned to leave their works of calligraphy. Dong Yang’s poems are among them, but they are not attributed to him.

It is said that one can tell a person’s character by his handwriting. Once, Yu Menghua went to Wanfeng Pavilion in disguise and happened to see Dong Yang’s poems. She was first attracted by his unrestrained cursive handwriting, and then moved by his poems that implied the current situation.

After waiting for several days, she finally found out who the author of the poem was. When she discovered that it was the well-known eldest son of Minister Dong, Yu Menghua was extremely surprised.

……

Yu Menghua took the tea handed to her by Mei Niang and took a sip. If she had not been reborn, she would not have known about it and would not have discovered that everything that happened to Mei Niang and Dong Yang involved Feng Yuxuan, or the Dog Emperor and the Jade Concubine!

The culprit who caused the tragic death of Mei Niang's family was none other than the prefect of Nancheng. However, he was a distant relative of General Zheng Changyi, the General of Zhennan, and was promoted by Zheng Changyi himself.

The prefect of Nancheng had originally set his eyes on Mei Niang's family property, but he never knew whether the money would end up in the hands of Zheng Changyi or the second prince.

General Zhennan is the connection that the dog emperor personally gave to Feng Yuxuan, this great boy!

As for Zhou, whom Dong Jinghui, Dong Yang's biological father, married, the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion behind her was also the Second Prince's person. It should be said that the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion had some connection with the Jade Concubine who faked her death, so they had always had an ambiguous attitude towards the Second Prince born to her.

Yu Menghua didn't believe that since Concubine Yu was not dead, the former prince of Chengyang Marquis's Mansion, who was infatuated with her and now the Marquis of Chengyang, would not support her only son who was left behind!

That's why Yu Menghua said that Mei Niang and Dong Yang were harmed like this because of that bastard Feng Yuxuan.

Yu Menghua and Mei Niang were chatting about recent events in Chengfeng Pavilion while waiting for Dong Yang to come.

Soon, Dong Yang came into the house from a secret passage.

"Master, Fengdu City has been a little uneasy recently. If you don't have any urgent matters, it would be best for you to stay out of the house as little as possible." Dong Yang said to Yu Menghua worriedly as soon as he came in.

The two had followed Yu Menghua for several years and had long known her true identity. Mei Niang did not know that the Second Prince had privately proposed to Yu Menghua more than a month ago, but Dong Yang's father was from the Second Prince's faction, so he naturally knew more than Mei Niang.

Yu Menghua curled the corners of her lips slightly and glanced at Dong Yang with a smile, "Don't worry, I came here today to discuss something important with you."

"Master, please tell me what you want me to do. I will serve you!"

"Yes, if there is anything, just let the people around you pass on the message. Why risk your life..." Dong Yang's eyes flickered, thinking of the woman who suddenly appeared in the mansion...

Yu Menghua shook her head slightly, "The fewer people who know about this, the better." Then she turned to Mo Yin beside her and said, "Go guard the door and don't let anyone get close to here."

"Yes!" Mo Yin would never disobey her young lady. She would do whatever her young lady asked her to do.

When only Yu Menghua and the other two were left in the room, Yu Menghua wrote a line of words on the table with water. Dong Yang's pupils suddenly shrank and he stood up from his chair in shock.

Mei Niang frowned. She had been in the capital for several years, but had never heard anyone talk about the words written by her master. She was a little confused for a moment.

Dong Yang took a deep breath, looking unbelievable, "Master, is this news ready?!" She was afraid that her master would think she was questioning her, so she quickly explained, "It's not that I don't believe you, but, but this is too unbelievable!"

Yu Menghua nodded solemnly and replied, "It's probably true!"

"Master..." Dong Yang swallowed hard, and finally told him what happened in the mansion.

"More than half a month ago, Earl Chengyang suddenly sent a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties but not yet thirty to my house! At first, my father's woman was horrified and refused to let the woman stay. In the end, I don't know what Earl Chengyang said to her, but the beautiful woman still stayed in the mansion..."

"My father and the mistress' attitude towards that woman was also very strange. It was hard to tell whether they were respectful or afraid of her. However, they repeatedly told the servants to serve the beautiful woman well and told everyone in the mansion to keep their mouths shut. No one was allowed to disclose the fact that there was an extra person in the mansion."

Yu Menghua's fingertips tapped the table lightly, making a series of tapping sounds. Mei Niang looked at Dong Yang strangely, as she also knew Dong Yang's identity.

"Could it be that she was a mistress of your unreliable father? She was found by the eldest brother of your vicious stepmother and sent to her..."

Mei Niang looked at Dong Yang with pity, and pretended to use her handkerchief to wipe away the tears that didn't exist at the corners of her eyes.

"Tsk tsk, Old Dong, do you think you have avenged your aunt without any effort?"

"After all, that vicious young lady from the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion also followed in my aunt's footsteps..."

Dong Yang: “…” If I hadn’t worked with this damn woman for many years, I would have known each other’s tempers long ago. Otherwise, sooner or later, I would be pissed off to death by this vixen-like woman!
