Chapter 753 World 31
"Are you sure this is the right place?"
"This is the place. The woman in this house is the one who gave birth on the same day as the lady twelve years ago at the temple on the outskirts of the city."
“I’ve had the chance to meet his daughter. She looks very similar to Madam. If you’re worried, you can go and take a look secretly.”
Hearing the commotion outside, Shen Ruyin thought there were bad guys around. She quietly went to the gate and suddenly heard these two sentences, realizing that the plot was about to begin.
Su Wan'er, who lived next door, was born with a beautiful face and looked nothing like a farm girl. Her appearance was also very different from her family's. Everyone said that Su Wan'er's family had good fortune, but Su Wan'er had a hard life at home since she was a child and was not well treated.
When she turned twelve, someone suddenly came to claim kinship, and everyone realized that Su Wan'er was not actually the daughter of the Su family.
Twelve years ago, Su Wan'er's mother went to the temple fair when she was heavily pregnant. She was so frightened that she suddenly went into labor and was taken to a temple. She gave birth on the same day as the wife of the heir of the Ninghou family, who was disguised as an ordinary woman seeking refuge there.
Su's mother overheard the wife of the heir of the Ning Marquis's mansion talking to a maid, saying that they had won the bet on their merit in supporting the emperor and that someone would be coming to pick them up soon. Looking at her newborn daughter, she had a wicked thought.
She and her husband, who had rushed from home, discussed the matter and, taking advantage of the large number of people attending to the young master's wife while she was getting ready, they lured away the old woman who had stayed behind to watch over Su Wan'er.
Her husband secretly entered through the window and switched the two children, thus beginning a drama of a real and fake heiress.
Now, twelve years later, the Marquis's family came to claim their relatives. The Su couple were terrified, but the Marquis's family treated them with courtesy and extreme friendliness.
On the surface, their act of switching the children was not exposed. Outsiders, and even they themselves, thought that the Marquis's mansion had treated it as an accident. They then enjoyed the benefits given by the Marquis's mansion with a clear conscience and even agreed to let both daughters belong to the Marquis's mansion.
When Su Wan'er returned to the Marquis's residence and changed her name to Wei Wan'er, she realized that the Marquis's residence had no good intentions in taking her back.
When the fake heiress was young, she was chosen by a Golden Core cultivator and taken as his direct disciple. At the age of twelve, she had already reached the second level of Qi Refining. However, the royal family suddenly revoked the marriage agreement they had made before and wanted the fake heiress to be the future princess consort.
The fake heiress entered the path of immortality, so of course she looked down on mortal men.
In order to help his junior sister out of her predicament, her senior brother unexpectedly discovered that she was not the biological daughter of the Marquis's family.
The Ninghou family has cherished their daughter like a precious jewel for so many years, and now they're seeing their daughter, who has entered the path of immortality and can bring them help, not be their own flesh and blood? That won't do.
They used their past relationship and resources to win over the fake heiress, and then brought back Wei Wan'er, their biological daughter, falsely claiming that they had given birth to twin sisters years ago.
The fake heiress cultivates immortality, while Wei Wan'er marries into the prince's family, managing to keep both sides afloat.
If life continues like this, it's still fine.
However, the Ning Marquis's household favored the fake heiress, giving her everything good and only giving Wei Wan'er scraps. Whenever the two had a disagreement, the Ning Marquis's household would blame Wei Wan'er.
After finally getting married, Wei Wan'er thought that leaving her family home would bring her good days. But no matter how well she tried to be a qualified princess, the royal family still didn't like her and thought she was far inferior to the fake heiress who was a cultivator.
Later, the fake heiress's master happened to see Wei Wan'er and went back to sigh to his disciple that Wei Wan'er's aptitude was better than the fake heiress's, but she was too old. After the new emperor ascended the throne, her status rose and she became a super-rank princess, so she was no longer suitable for cultivating immortality.
The fake heiress became wary. When she returned home, she expressed her dissatisfaction with Wei Wan'er at the Ninghou residence, saying things like "it's either me or her." She also hinted to the prince whom Wei Wan'er had married that she didn't like Wei Wan'er.
With the secret cooperation of the Marquis of Ning's mansion and the Prince, Wei Wan'er tragically died.
With the help of her suitors, the fake heiress rose rapidly through the ranks, eventually becoming a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator and a sect elder.
In this story, Shen Ruyin is Wei Wan'er's neighbor when she was living in a farming family. Her parents died early, and her relatives disliked her because they thought she was too strong-willed and refused to take care of her.
When she was dying, it was Wei Wan'er who secretly asked the doctor and got medicine for her. She has always remembered Wei Wan'er's kindness.
Later, she learned that a cultivation sect was recruiting disciples, so she took a gamble and traveled over mountains and valleys to join the sect.
She returned to repay the kindness she had shown in the past, but upon returning to the mortal world, she learned that Wei Wan'er was dead. After investigating, she avenged Wei Wan'er.
Fearing that Shen Ruyin would find out more and trace it back to her, the fake heiress conspired with Shen Ruyin's suitors to have her perish in a secret place.
If Shen Ruyin wanted to be cautious, all she had to do now was do nothing and pretend she didn't know about Wei Wan'er's death so she could live a peaceful life... Bullshit!
Cultivating truth is about cultivating one's true nature.
Besides, Shen Ruyin is a cultivator with several stages of cultivation; how could she possibly back down like this?
In her opinion, anyway, Wei Wan'er, no, she's still Su Wan'er now.
Since Su Wan'er has good potential anyway, why don't she go and cultivate immortality too?
Shen Ruyin even had a ready-made reason—during the inspection, she happened to encounter an immortal riding a cloud overhead, who talked about the immortal sect accepting disciples.
The only question now is, after being subjected to emotional abuse at home for so many years, will Su Wan'er be willing to leave with Shen Ruyin after gaining new family?
Could she believe Shen Ruyin's vague and unrealistic quest for immortality?
