Chapter 714: Denial "Yes, Madam Duke."The butler walked away quickly, wondering if something important had happened. When the Hong family arrived at the main hall, they were all shocked. The reason was simple, but that all the Yan family members looked unhappy, especially the Duke's wife, which made no one dare to ask. They all sat down quietly. Yan Funing looked at Gao Wei. Gao Wei saw the woman who had customized the jade pendant that year, and nodded to Yan Funing. Thinking of the fire in his master's jade shop, if the purpose was to kill him, he raised his biggest concern: "Miss, what about my life?" "Now that things are clear, can she still take your life?" Yan Funing lowered her voice. Yan Bojian also said: "The clearer you are, the safer you will be. Once the matter is settled, I will send someone to escort you out of Beijing and ensure your safety." Gao Wei felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill.

Yan Bojian turned to the other side and motioned Zhenfeng to report. Zhenfeng left quietly. Soon, Mrs. Hong came over. "Qingyi, the little girl came in person yesterday to tell you the good news about Fu Ning. Why did she come here today?" It wasn't like an ordinary trip back to my parents' home. It seems like a general theory. The atmosphere in the main hall became solemn. "Mom, we are indeed here for an important matter." Hong Qingyi said, looking at her youngest daughter. Yan Funing raised her hand. Gao Wei stepped out and bowed, "Madam Hong, ladies, I used to be a jade craftsman." Madam Hong smiled and said, "The Duke's wife has found a jade craftsman to come here. Could it be for Fu Ning's dowry?" Madam Hong also smiled and said, "Fu Ning is getting married, and we, as aunts, will definitely add to the dowry." Hong Qingyi's action really damages the status of the Duke's wife. How can you ask for it like this? Yu Shuyan's smile at this moment made Hong Qingyi feel disgusted, and she didn't want to say a word. Yan Funing said calmly: "Doesn't Second Aunt know this person?" "What are you talking about? Why would my second aunt want to know a craftsman?" Yu Shuyan kept smiling. Yan Funing stood up. "It's understandable that my second aunt doesn't know this person. After all, it's been sixteen years since the incident." "But Gao Wei knows my second aunt. He is a jade craftsman and has his own views on people's bones and faces."

Gao Wei said: "Just as the young lady said, Madam Hong, I will never forget you even if I become a ghost." When this statement came out, everyone was lost. Yu Shuyan's heart sank. She still had no impression of the man in front of her. But the current state of the Yan family, coupled with their words, reminded her of something. "Nonsense, how could a lady like me know someone like you?" He immediately got up and left. Yan Bojian ordered the town guards to stop the man. Gao Wei said, "Madam once asked me to customize a jade pendant. This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one my master customized for Madam Guo." "The jade pendant made by Gao Wei is now in Yan Yan'er's possession." Yan Funing said coldly, "Second aunt, now that things have come to this, you still don't admit it?" "Nonsense!" Yu Shuyan scolded. Madam Hong frowned deeply: "What happened?" "When my mother gave birth to me, the labor pains lasted too long, so my grandmother and several other aunts went to pray for blessings." "My second aunt stayed by my mother's side and brought the baby outside into the Duke's Mansion when she had time." "The birthmark on Yan Yan'er's body was tattooed there by my second aunt in a one-to-one ratio based on the birthmark on my body. My mother was weak after giving birth and fell into a coma." "Not only did my second aunt bribe the midwife, but the people you brought with you also had someone who was good at tattooing, so you tattooed my birthmark on Yan Yan'er." "Then I'll give Yan Yan'er the jade pendant that I ordered from Gao Wei, and let Yan Yan'er pretend to be me and stay with my parents." Yan Funing analyzed and looked at Yu Shuyan with her beautiful eyes. Yu Shuyan shouted angrily: "Nonsense, if I really wanted to switch the jade pendant, why would I keep the real one on you and give the fake one to Yan Yaner? I don't accept the one-sided statement of the craftsman you just found!" Yan Funing smiled faintly: "That being said, I guess you may feel a little guilty, so you let my mother's custom-made jade pendant accompany me when I left Beijing. Or maybe you took great pains to make the same jade pendant, but when you really wanted to exchange the babies, you found that it was too easy to get the real one. Since you spent so much effort, you naturally put the jade pendant you made on Yan Yan'er's neck." Yu Shuyan frowned. When she switched the jade pendant that year, she did think about keeping Hong Qingyi's jade pendant. Seeing that the baby was crying so hard, she decided to take the jade pendant with the baby when she left Beijing. Yan Funing added: "Yan Yan'er is clearly two days older than me. The date of birth written on the red paper in which I was born was actually two days earlier." As she spoke, she looked around. "Can I conclude that my second aunt had already prepared a baby two days before I was born?" "It's all because my mother was in pain for two days when she gave birth to me, so Yan Yan'er and I were not born on the same day." Yu Shuyan was still trying to argue: "You are just talking nonsense!" "Don't think you can set me up by saying my birthday. I didn't switch babies." "Also, I was busy all the time, but now I am wrongly accused by you. Yan Funing, is this how you treat your junior?"

Yan Funing smiled faintly: "Aunt is anxious? I see sweat on your forehead, which is obviously a sign of guilty conscience." She walked over and took Yu Shuyan's pulse. "Oh my, your heart is beating so fast, you must be lying! Second aunt, do you want to go to Jingzhao Prefecture? I heard that the prefecture has ways to deal with liars." Yu Shuyan was frightened and asked anxiously, "Why would I change you? You are my niece, and I am your aunt. Your mother and I are not only sisters-in-law, but also good friends." Yan Funing let go of her wrist and said in a clear voice, "Don't worry, second aunt. Let me tell you slowly." "Before I returned to my parents' side, my second aunt loved Yan Yan'er so much, but now she hates me so much." "We don't have many opportunities to meet. Although you hide your emotions, I can feel that you don't like me." "It wasn't until yesterday, when you and Hong Li talked about it in the flower hall, that I realized you actually hated me." "Second aunt, you not only hate me, you also hate Yuan Lang." She smiled playfully: "Let me guess, what you actually hate is the child born to my father and mother, as well as the child's child." "Nonsense!" Yu Shuyan shouted. Yan Funing raised a finger, signaling her to be quiet. I continued, "My brothers and sisters couldn't tell, that's because you hid it well." "As for me, you are angry because of Yan Yan'er and because I was sold by you. Now I am back." "As for Yuen Long, you thought he was just a child, so you treated him differently behind people's backs." Yu Shuyan didn't expect that the girl in front of her with outstanding appearance had an equally outstanding brain. But he still insisted: "Some people like it, some don't." "I don't like you being my daughter-in-law, so I'll naturally advise Hong Li to stay away from you. If you make random guesses and pin the blame on me, I, your aunt, will have nothing to say." Yan Funing smiled and said, "Master Fu is so handsome. I have such a good husband. How could I fall in love with your son?"
