Chapter 179 The Wrongly Embraced Prime Minister's Gold 8

Prime Minister Jiang narrowed his eyes and said in a tone that was unclear, "Are you saying this is a coincidence?"

Yiqing clenched her fingers tighter. Even though her heart was beating fast, she still replied firmly: "Yes, this is a coincidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Jiang placed another portrait in front of her.

Yiqing was a little confused at first, but when she looked carefully, her breathing became disordered.

The portrait was of a young girl of about her age.

It was clearly a strange face, yet it made her feel extremely familiar.

Her eyebrows and eyes are like her father's, her lips are like her mother's...

When Yiqing opened her mouth, her overly frightened voice seemed a little broken, "Whose child is she?"

Prime Minister Jiang put the two pieces of paper on the table together and said in a low voice, "In the eyes of those who know them, they are a family of three."

But what about in the eyes of people who don’t know them?

Yiqing looked at Prime Minister Jiang and his wife, then at the girl in the portrait, and suddenly understood what he meant.

Corresponding to what they said before, she already had the answer in her mind.

But how could a girl who has been raised in seclusion in the boudoir accept such an answer all at once?

She gritted her teeth and brought up her previous remarks, insisting that "it's not surprising that people are similar."

Prime Minister Jiang didn't expect that things had come to this point, but she was still unwilling to face reality. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Yun Wan, you have been my daughter for more than ten years. You should understand that if there is no sufficient evidence, your father will not speak without thinking."

Yiqing's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Even if she wanted to deceive herself, she couldn't resist others who forced her to wake up.

The crystal tears swirled in the eyes for a long time, and finally fell down.

She tilted her head slightly, her voice sad and helpless, "Dad, Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

Prime Minister Jiang and his wife felt as if their hearts were being stabbed by needles.

"It's not that we don't want you, but some things should be corrected once we find that they are wrong." Prime Minister Jiang hid his emotions in his heart, his face calm and serious, "Since you are not our child, we should let you return to your biological parents. And we should also bring our child back."

Madam Jiang grabbed Prime Minister Jiang's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice, "Master, Yutang is our biological daughter, so of course we have to bring her back. But Yunwan has been raised by us for so long, and we have feelings for her, so we can let her stay as well."

She had just made this suggestion, but the master didn't say anything, so she thought he didn't hear it. Now she couldn't help but say it again.

Jiang Cheng looked into her eager eyes and frowned slightly.

"How foolish! You want to get your daughter back, but you don't have to send other people's daughters back? How can this be justified in this world!" He scolded in a low voice.

Mrs. Jiang immediately retorted, "If the two children were taken away by mistake, then they should be switched back and returned to their respective places.

But this is clearly a conspiracy by the Su family. They actually dared to plot against us, so they must bear the corresponding consequences.

Yun Wan is a good child. If she goes back to that home, her life will be ruined!"

Prime Minister Jiang disagreed with this statement. "Those are just Nanny Chen's one-sided statements. Who knows the truth of this matter?"

Just as he had said to Yiqing before, he was not a person who would believe in rumors without sufficient evidence.

"Madame Chen has been with me for more than 20 years. She is loyal to me and would not lie about such a thing!" Mrs. Jiang raised her voice, feeling a little agitated.

Prime Minister Jiang didn't look at her, but sighed in a low voice, "It's a pity that the midwife who delivered Madam Su died of a sudden illness two years ago, otherwise the two of them could have confronted each other today."

Although he did not directly say whether he believed Nanny Chen or not, it can be heard from what he said that he still had doubts about what Nanny Chen said.

Mrs. Jiang's anger quickly rose.

"Jiang Mingde! What do you mean by that? I see that you don't distrust the people around me, but you have a problem with me, and now you have to choke me!"

Prime Minister Jiang looked puzzled. "I was just discussing the matter at hand. Why are you being unreasonable?"

"I'm being unreasonable? Who is so stubborn? The facts are right in front of you, but you still refuse to believe it!"

"What kind of truth is this? You can't assume that a servant is loyal and won't lie just because she has served you for a long time and usually pretends to be honest! Ah Ping, human nature is unpredictable, don't just listen to one side and believe it!"

"You're just looking for trouble."

"I...I can't reason with you!"

"I think you are at a loss for words!"

The couple suddenly started arguing.

Yiqing listened in silence for a long time.

She had originally expected there to be a reversal, or for someone to tell her what to do next.

But this sudden quarrel, and the hint in their words that her biological parents might not be kind people, made her suddenly feel indescribably tired.

She quietly left the study.

I don't know when it got completely dark outside.

"Third Miss." The maid waiting outside called her softly.

Yiqing seemed to have heard nothing and didn't even look at her.

She just looked up, searching the night sky for a long time before finally seeing the small crescent moon.

"It's the beginning of the month again, no wonder the sky is so dark..." She slowly lowered her head and saw that the distance was also pitch black. She couldn't help but twitched her lips, "No wonder my world is so dark too."

Her voice was so low that even the maid beside her couldn't hear it clearly, "Third Miss, what did you say?"

It's nothing.

Yiqing opened her lips and wanted to say this.

But she was so tired that the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.

In the end, she could only shake her head gently.

"Miss Third, I'll take you back first." The maid was used to the quarrels in the house, and at this moment she pretended that she heard nothing. Her attention was all on Yiqing, and she was holding a lantern to light the way for her.

But just as she moved, a hand blocked her way.

The maid looked at Yiqing in confusion, "Third Miss?"

After a long while, Yiqing finally spoke, "No need for a light, I can go back."

"Can……"

"I want to be alone." Yiqing's dark eyes stared at her without blinking.

Perhaps it was because the candlelight in the lantern was not bright enough, which made the pair of eyes that were usually gentle appear particularly cold and empty.

An unknown pressure swept over her, and the maid was stunned for a moment.

By the time she reacted, Yiqing had already taken several steps forward and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The maid wanted to rush forward to light the way for her, but thinking of Yiqing's words just now and that terrifying look, she hesitated and finally did not dare to step forward.

——It was very dark today, and she was actually a little afraid of walking at night.

Since the third young lady said she doesn't need to send her off, then she should just listen!
