Her uncle was clearly her auntâs brother.
If the bad guy in front of her was her uncle, why had she never seen him before?
And that other bad guy on the road who came to pick them up also claimed to be her uncle, but all he did was scold and reprimand her; he wasnât her uncle at all.
Her real uncle would never be harsh with her.
In the side room.
After the household doctorâs busy treatment, Yun Chuchu had woken up and was leaning desolately against the headboard, while Lady Yun sat beside her, gently holding her hand and comforting her.
As for Yun Zhan, he furrowed his brow, watching the household doctor write a prescription.
Yun Chuchuâs current condition was not good; excessive worry had hurt her internal organs, making her extremely weak and uncertain of when she might pass away.
Because her body was so weak, it couldnât withstand many medicines, making treatment or recuperation extraordinarily troublesome.
Moreover, there was no guarantee of a cure.
The extent to which she could be healed depended entirely on fate.
At that moment, footsteps sounded outside, and Yun Zheng entered carrying the little girl.
Seeing Yun Chuchu on the bed, the little girl struggled to get down from Yun Zhengâs arms and ran quickly to her, clutching Yun Chuchu and beginning to cry.
"Boohoo, Mother, can we go home? I want to go home; I donât want to stay here. I want to find Dad and Auntie. Mother, please take me back, okay?"
Yun Chuchu frowned; just awakened, she wasnât in good spirits and had no strength to comfort her daughter, but seeing her daughter cry incessantly made her feel very distressed.
"Rongâer, please donât cry. Mother is not feeling well."
She mustered up her energy to reach out and stroke the little girlâs head, softly comforting her, but the little girl was not easily placated.
"Boohoo, but Rongâer doesnât want to be here; Rongâer misses home..."
Yun Zheng: "..."
What exactly was wrong with this place?
Why was this little girl making such a fuss?
"Sigh, why did you bring her here? Chuchu has just woken up and needs complete rest. With her crying like this, how can Chuchu rest?"
Lady Yun walked over to his side, gave him a resentful look.
Yun Zheng: "..."
The little girl was all alone outside; if he didnât bring her here, where else could he take her?
Wait, Lady Yun was always meticulous and considerate. Even if Chuchu had suddenly fainted and the situation was extremely urgent, she would never leave a child alone outside and ignore her.
Yet she had left the little girl outside. There must be some hidden reason behind this.
But what exactly was the hidden reason?
Yun Zheng was utterly perplexed, unable to make sense of it, so he cast an inquiring glance at Lady Yun.
Lady Yun sighed, took his arm, pulled him into a corner, stood on her tiptoes close to his ear, and whispered softly.
"Ningning said, this little girl isnât Chuchuâs daughter but a counterfeit intentionally swapped in."
"Moreover, her nature is genuinely detestable, showing no respect for Chuchu, only having her father and aunt in her heart."
"Which familyâs legitimate daughter would prefer an aunt over her own mother? Husband, do you think thatâs normal? I suspect she is most likely that concubineâs daughter."
Posing as a legitimate child?
Thereâs something like this?
Yun Zhengâs eyes widened slightly, then he flew into a rage. Daring to randomly bring a child to impersonate a Yun Family bloodline, did the Shang family know about this?
Suddenly remembering Yun Wanqingâs words from a few days ago, Yun Zhengâs face darkened, becoming extremely frightening.
That scoundrel must have known; otherwise, when Ningning mentioned that scoundrel, she wouldnât have said such things.
No, he needed to skin that scoundrel. Even his sister was calculated against; did they really think he was dead?
He was angry at his sister for not listening and marrying so far away, and for not coming home for so many years. But that didnât mean that after knowing his sisterâs situation, he would remain indifferent or ignore it.
"Madam, I need to go out for a while for some matters... Chuchu will have to trouble you..."
"Go out for what?"
Married for so many years, Lady Yun understood him well. As soon as she heard his words, she knew what he was going to do and immediately interrupted him.
He undoubtedly wanted to investigate the matter and then control the entire Shang family, awaiting the investigation results for judgment.
"The matter is already like this, no need to rush at this moment. As for Chuchu, sheâs just returned, and you want to leave without even saying a word to her. How would she feel?"
"Her health is very poor, unable to withstand overthinking. Wait until everything is settled regarding her, and then deal with the matter later."
Yun Zheng was persuaded and had to suppress his anger, nodding.
"Madam is right; weâll wait until Chuchu is settled."
"Mm."
By the bedside, the little girl was still fussing about going home, and Yun Chuchu simply couldnât comfort her.
