Chapter 149 You Are All Liars
Ye Chuxue watched Chang's every move coldly, taking in all her subtle expressions and movements.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a sarcastic smile, which was particularly glaring on her beautiful face.
Then, her gaze slowly shifted and fell on the old woman who followed Luo Yu into the room.
Ye Chuxue raised her hand and pointed directly at Chang, and said to the old woman in a clear and loud voice: "Old lady, do you still recognize this lady in front of you?"
Hearing this, the old woman raised her head timidly and looked Chang up and down cautiously with her cloudy eyes.
At this moment, Chang's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. Her beautiful eyes stared at the old woman fiercely, and there was an obvious warning in her eyes, just like a ferocious beast, ready to pounce on its prey and bite it at any time.
The old woman was frightened by Chang's terrifying gaze and trembled all over, and involuntarily shrank her neck.
The words that were on the tip of his tongue were stuffed back into his throat as if by an invisible hand, and he couldn't utter a single word.
However, Ye Chuxue would not let go of this opportunity easily.
She turned her head suddenly, and her sharp eyes pierced directly at Chang. The coldness in her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul.
Then, she turned her gaze to the old woman again, her tone gentle but with unquestionable firmness: “Old lady, you don’t have to be afraid.
Just tell me whatever you know. I sent someone to invite you here specially, so I am naturally fully responsible for your safety.
You can say it with confidence, no one here today will dare to touch a hair on your head!"
When the old woman saw Ye Chuxue's majestic gaze, her heart trembled. She forced herself to suppress her inner fear and anxiety, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm her mind.
She calmed herself down and slowly said, "I remember, I remember, when I delivered this lady, the scene is still vivid in my mind!
At that time, this lady had a newborn baby beside her. Speaking of which, I devotedly took care of this lady for nearly ten days!
During this period, I was responsible for all matters, including taking care of the two children!
In the end, they actually rewarded me with a full one hundred taels of silver!
Oh my, I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen a host who is so generous and magnanimous!
So, this incident left a deep impression on me!"
Chang, who was standing aside, had been staring at the old woman nervously. After hearing this, she felt a little relieved when she saw that she did not say anything that was unfavorable to her.
However, she still did not dare to be careless and continued to focus on the old woman's every move.
At this time, Ye Chuxue did not let down her guard because of the old woman's previous words. She immediately asked, "Then, do you still remember what the difference is between the two children?
For example, do they have any obvious characteristics?"
After hearing this, the old woman fell into deep thought again.
I saw her frowning tightly, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was desperately searching for those long-lost memories in her mind.
After a long time, the old woman seemed to have suddenly grasped a key clue. She suddenly opened her eyes and said slowly, "Aha! I remember now! Although the two children are both girls, one of them has a crescent-shaped birthmark on her lower back.
The other one, on the other hand, has no such birthmark at all!"
"Then do you know which one has it and which one doesn't?"
The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully recalling the scene at that time, and slowly said: "Well, I remember this clearly.
The baby I delivered at the time definitely didn't have it. I was the one who bathed and cleaned him up myself right after he was born.
The two children were about the same size, so I was afraid they might get mixed up, so I paid extra attention to them."
After hearing the old woman's words, Chang's heart, which had just been slightly relieved, suddenly rose to her throat again. She felt as if she was suddenly pulled by an invisible force and fell straight into an abyss. Her mind was in chaos, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her rapidly, and a sense of panic rose in her heart.
Chang glared at the old woman in front of her angrily, and asked in a sharp and fierce voice, "What nonsense are you talking about! It's obviously my biological daughter who has that birthmark. The one I picked up from outside doesn't have it at all!"
When the old woman heard Chang's rude accusation, her face instantly became extremely gloomy, like the sky before a storm.
She pursed her lips and responded coldly, "Madam, please speak with respect! I have delivered at least eighty babies, if not a hundred.
How could I possibly misremember or misstate something like this? My professional ethics and integrity cannot be easily questioned!
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Madam, do you still remember when you had just given birth?
At that time, you were lying weakly on the couch, your face full of fatigue and confusion, looking at the two babies in the cradle, and softly asked me which of the two children was your biological flesh and blood.
I told you the truth at the time that one of the children had a birthmark on his lower back, while the other did not.
The one without the birthmark is your biological child. Are you denying all of this now?
When Chang heard this, her heart trembled violently, and a trace of regret flashed through her mind in an instant.
She thought to herself, Oh, how could I be so confused that I forgot such an important thing!
If I had remembered it earlier, maybe I could have found an opportunity to draw a fake birthmark on Rouer's lower back, so that I could get away with it for the time being.
It's a pity that at this point, no matter what I say, it will be of no use. It's too late.
At this time, Ye Xinrou, who had been standing aside and observing quietly, saw that Chang suddenly became silent, with an obvious look of guilt on his face, and her heart suddenly became clear like a mirror.
She suddenly realized that everything Ye Chuxue had said before was true and not a single lie.
Poor me, the noble status I should have had was taken away by Ye Chuxue, so that I couldn't even achieve something as natural as becoming the queen.
Thinking of this, Ye Xinrou couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in her heart.
Looking back on the past, she once tried so hard to please Chang, and was filled with joy and pride for the occasional care and kindness shown by Chang.
However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that those so-called good things were nothing more than a kind of guilt in their hearts for owing her!
She completely collapsed, her body limply falling to the ground, her hands slapping the ground heavily.
She screamed at the top of her lungs, "You are all liars! Big liars! Why do you treat me like this? What have I done wrong?"
