As soon as the real daughter returns, I will drive me, a fake daughter, out of the door.
I followed my brother to pick up my brother back home in the mountains.
Just,
When I stand in a small courtyard, I step on the dark jade that cannot be valued.
In the yard, the porcelain bowl for feeding chickens is the dragon-patterned porcelain of the previous dynasty, which is worth a thousand gold.
The wood scattered in the corner is rare rosewood.
I looked at the home of my biological parents who were so poor that I was in deep thought...
The picture is from the Internet, the infringement of the picture

The day when Xie Baozhi returned to the Li family, I was still practicing in the piano room.
"You occupied everything that belonged to me and enjoyed the glory and wealth of sixteen years. Now that I am back, you should get out."
After a day of fatigue, I had no time to drink water, the old lady condemned the maid and called me to the front hall.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a shouting sound coming towards me.
Xie Baozhi raised his chin and stared at me with hatred.
Oh no, it’s Li Baozhi now.
A few days ago, the nanny next to her mother returned to her hometown to visit her relatives and accidentally ran into a girl who looked like her mother.
As bloody and bizarre as in the script, the belated truth was finally revealed-
Fifteen years ago, the evil servant of the Li family deliberately took revenge and dropped the daughter of the Li family, the daughter of the mountain village woman, with me.
Our life is therefore earth-shaking.
I was a daughter-in-law, but how could she not complain if I replaced me as a girl from a poor family?
But I am innocent too.
Looking at Li Baozhi's appearance that looked similar to his mother, his eyebrows raised slightly looked very much like his mother because of his anger.
I have to sigh that my bloodline is really magical.
Just like me, from the inside out, I can't find a place similar to Li's parents.
It turns out that I am not from the blood of the Li family.
Then will I be like my biological parents?
"Are you deaf?"
When he was stunned, he did not get my response. Li Baozhi couldn't help but be furious. She rushed towards me and pushed me with a hand.
I was ignored and she staggered. Fortunately, the maid behind me was quick-witted and quickly supported me.
In the huge main hall, sitting or standing are relatives who have lived under the same roof as me for fifteen years.
No one was willing to help.
Is it chilling?
I might have it when I was young.
At this moment, I felt glad.
I rubbed my fingers on the sleeves and practiced the piano all day long, but my fingertips were already unconscious. Although I had already gotten used to it, I couldn't help feeling tired.
I have been in a long time and have not had a good rest.
The girl from the Li family has extraordinary looks, extraordinary piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she is famous in the capital.
Thanks to the careful teaching of the old lady, she has devoted all her efforts to our sisters.
The cousin married the concubine's son of the Cao family, the Minister of Rites, because of his outstanding piano skills.
The second cousin was attracted by General Zhou with a song drum dance and became General Zhou's sixth concubine.
The head of the Li family, my eldest uncle, was from the fifth rank, but in just two years, he became the third rank of Zhongshuling .
The Li family therefore squeezed into the eyes of everyone and became a member of the list of various banquets for the aristocratic families.
A month later, a flower viewing banquet held by the Changning Hou Mansion, and Li's mansion had already answered the post.
According to the old lady’s arrangement, I will present a song to cheer up Mrs. Hou.
If I could make Mrs. Hou happy, it would be my luck and would also add to the Li family.
Of course, what the old lady didn't say was that it would be better if Mrs. Hou could look at her differently.
After all, although the backyard of Changning Hou Shizi is full of Yingying, he still lacks a wife.
The old lady’s thoughts are obvious.
She is used to doing this, and she will turn countless turns when she acts, and in the end, she will always achieve her goal.
We have been taught since childhood that as girls of the Li family, we are prosperous and prosperous, and the interests of the family are the most important.
I am just in the face of my hair this year. In the words of the old lady, it is the most precious age for a woman. I can choose a suitable family of prominent families.
My two cousins married in this way.
And now, I am not from the Li family's blood...
This is, when I looked at Li Baozhi's hatred, I was not annoyed at all, and I even felt a little pity for her.

Li Baozhi's sudden action made the atmosphere in the house cold.
The old lady sitting in the head finally spoke. She said to Li Baozhi, "Okay, what kind of decent thing? Since you have returned to the Li family, you must understand the rules."
The old lady's voice was majestic, and her face was full of grotes, with displeasure.
As she said, she turned to Mrs. Li below and said, "After a moment, a nanny will be assigned to teach Baozhi the rules well, so as not to make jokes in the future and insult the Li family's family."
The eldest lady stood up and replied respectfully, "Yes, mother."
"Grandma, she caused me to separate from my relatives for fifteen years. Why did she still let her stay at home? Let her get out! I don't want to see her!" Li Baozhi's voice suddenly became sharp.
The old lady frowned and her face looked very ugly.
She has always regarded the rules as high as the sky. We granddaughters, from the beginning of remembering, have to learn from the Four Women's Books. We must always abide by the rules and behave in a manner and never make any mistakes, so as not to lose the face of the family.
In her eyes, family honor is greater than anything else.
Li Baozhi's hysterical appearance will only make her unhappy.
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Li Baozhi lightly. The fierce look in her eyes made Li Baozhi tremble and she silenced in an instant.
When the old lady saw this, her face became even more heavy, and she seemed to be even more displeased. She turned her eyes to look at me again, and a look of regret flashed in her eyes, and then a flash of light flashed.
I heard her say in a deep voice: "Our Li family can't afford to raise a girl. In my opinion, An Ran stays at home and is still the third lady of our Li family. Baozhi is the fourth lady."
"Son is doing this."
The eldest uncle twisted the moustache on his upper lip and nodded in agreement, but the eyes that fell on me were calculating, exactly the same as the old lady.
I never asked about my wishes, but they decided to stay or not in a few words.
They expected that I would stay and continue to be the noble daughter of the Li family.
After all, according to Li Baozhi, my biological parents' home is far away in a poor valley in Chunxia Mountain, hundreds of miles away from the capital, and the carriage will run for three days.
It’s just a pity that they all thought it was wrong.

I bowed to the old lady and said firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, grandmother, I want to go back to my biological parents."
The old lady turned her fingers with the Buddhist beads. She was stunned for a moment, and said slightly astonished, "Why is this? Do you know that your biological parents are just a countryside, and maybe even supporting you will be a problem."
She said, her eyes falling on me, and her tone was accustomed to arrogance: "Not to mention...the silk and satin on you, and the delicacies you usually eat."
I showed a special smile: "An Ran never seeks wealth, but only seeks to be able to have a peaceful and smooth life and be able to be happy with her parents."
Grandma looked at me meaningfully, "You have to think clearly. If you leave my Li family today, if you can't endure hardship in the future, it will not be that easy to come back."
I opened my mouth, and before I could speak, she waved her hand to interrupt me, "Don't rush to make a decision first, see your relatives first, and then make a decision."
There is footsteps of a maid leaving outside the door.
I know that in a while, I will be able to see my family.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, feeling nervous and excited.
When I came, I heard from the little maid that he had returned with Li Baozhi, and his biological brother, who had been waiting outside the mansion and waiting to pick me up home.
Looking at the old lady's calm appearance, I knew that the old lady had long wanted to send him away.
She never thought that I would be willing to leave the Li family.
The reason why she agreed to call my biological brother was simply that she wanted me to see my poor relatives with her own eyes, and that she would definitely lose her mind to leave the Li family.
After a while, I heard the heavy footsteps from far to near.
I subconsciously raised my eyes and looked at a tall figure, facing the light.
When I could see clearly, I met a pair of bright eyes.
He saw me, and his eyes suddenly appeared. His steps towards me were flying, and he came to me in the blink of an eye.
Is this my relative, my brother?
I blinked and looked at him carefully, trying to find a place similar to me from his face.
He has a hard and tough face, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and is wearing a black coarse linen linen. His body is strong and burly. The fabric on his arms is bulging, and his strong muscles can be seen.
The whole person looks like a small hill, which is inexplicably at ease.
Li Baozhi's face changed slightly when she saw the visitor. She shrank her body and hid behind the maid beside her.
"Sister!" He looked at me calmly without looking at me, his voice was high and thick, as if he was afraid of scaring me, and the ending sound softened.
I looked at him and smiled. Strangely, at this moment, I didn't feel a little unfamiliar. I called him, "Brother."
As soon as I finished speaking, his eyes became brighter. He smiled silly, and two shallow dimples overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
A person who looks tough has become honest and gentle because of these two little dimples.
I looked at the little dimples that were the same as my mouth, and my eyes became hot, "Brother, are you here to pick me up? Then... let's go home."
"Okay! Let's go home!"
As I turned around, the old lady called me.
"An Ran."
I turned around and met the old lady's cold gaze.
I know that she called me not because of her affection for my grandparents and grandchildren.
She knows better than anyone else what kind of benefits a woman can bring to a family, let alone, under her strict teaching, she is well-educated and gentle.
She has always been very satisfied with me and has high hopes for me.
The carefully watered fruit finally matures, but it falls outside of your palm.
How could she be willing?

I saluted Mrs. Xing.
When I raised my eyes again, I looked at my mother who had been calling me for fifteen years. She was lowering her eyes, like a lifeless wood.
My stay and leave had no effect on her at all, and I felt mixed feelings.
She has never given me much maternal love, but I really regard her as my mother's respect.
I sighed in my heart, she was just a poor woman who was wasting her time in the back house and had her edges smoothed out.
The uncle on the other end was squinting his eyes, twisting his beard calmly, and his eyes that were calculating were shining with a faint light.
The people in the same room have their own ulterior motives.
This is the Li family, the so-called famous family.
I turned around and left firmly with my brother.
When I left the mansion, I ran into another person. It was my father who only knew how to spend all day and drink, the second master of the Li family.
I subconsciously shouted, "Father..."
He was drunk and supported by his subordinates. He heard my voice, his muddy eyes swept across my face without stopping.
I sighed in my heart, and in a blink of an eye, I met my brother's concerned eyes.
I smiled at him, and his eyebrows stretched out.
Outside the mansion, a simple carriage parked aside.
The brother touched the back of his head and said apologetically: "Sister, you must be unable to get used to such a car. Please wait, brother will change you a good carriage."
"No need, brother." I smiled at him, "That's all."
A sneer came from behind.
"It's so embarrassing." Li Baozhi stood in the house, covering her veil and smiling.
"Baozhi."
The brother turned around and looked at Baozhi with a faint expression.
Li Baozhi heard the voice and shrank back. Perhaps he realized that the present was different from the past. He straightened his back, raised his chin, looked at the small bag on my wrist and said:
"Let me see if you have taken away my Li family's things secretly."
"You have occupied the magpie's nest for sixteen years and enjoyed everything that belonged to me. Now that you have left, you shouldn't take a penny of our Li family."
It's really ridiculous. She kept saying that I took everything for her.
Then she occupied my parents and family, how should I ask her for it?
"Return it back to you." I threw the bag in my hand towards her feet.
I didn't plan to bring anything at all, but this little bag was still Ayue, the maid next to me. I was so tired that I hurriedly stuffed it to me were just two simple clothes.
The brother looked calm and said to Li Baozhi: "Baozhi, you finally got what you want and became the lady of a rich family. I hope you can do it well."
Li Baozhi snorted coldly: "Hmph, you need to say it."

On the way, my brother slowly told me everything in the family.
His name is Xie Mingan.
We also have a six-year-old sister named Baolian.
Along the way, my brother was very careful with me, afraid that I would have something I didn’t get used to.
I grew up in the capital and the farthest place I have ever been to is just a village in the suburbs of the Li family.
After the shackles pressing on my body were untied, every pore on my body was relaxed.
The scenery along the road, every flower and every grass, is so cute, and even the air smells so good.
The brother finally felt relieved when he looked at the corner of my mouth that had not fallen all the way.
When we reached the dark, we searched for an inn and rested overnight.
When I was walking the next day, the worn-out carriage disappeared, and replaced by a carriage that was not very good-looking but luxurious inside.
After a moment of hesitation, I looked at my brother and said, "Brother, you don't have to spend money for me. The carriage before was pretty good."
Brother laughed and said, "How could it cost money? This was arranged by my father."
Dad? I looked at him in confusion.
"Don't worry, our family is not that poor."
I blinked and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
A few days ago, as the news of Li Baozhi came back, my biological parents were poor families in remote valleys, and they also spread throughout the Li family.
However, seeing Li Baozhi's delicate skin and tender flesh and her face was a little fat, you can tell at a glance that she was not only in the Xie family, but also had a delicate and nude.
After changing the carriage, the speed of traveling faster.
The next evening, facing the rising sun, the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
I got off the carriage and looked at the small courtyard in front of me curiously.
Although it is a bit simple, it is better to be clean and tidy.
However, the strange thing under my feet made me subconsciously lower my head. With just one look, I was stunned. Is this... ink jade?
Use dark jade that is hard to find in the world as a threshold stone?
I blinked and looked around again.
When I saw this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but thrust.
In the yard, the large porcelain bowl for feeding chickens is the dragon-patterned porcelain of the previous dynasty, which is worth a thousand gold.
The wood scattered in the corner is rare red sandalwood.
I looked at Li Baozhi's mouth. My biological parents' home, which was so poor that I fell into deep thought...
Along the way, I was thinking about how to persuade my biological parents to move.
Yes, I know the character of the Li family very much.
I don’t think the old lady and uncle will really let me go home.
In the Li family, everything has to be paid.
They put so much effort into me, why are they willing to do so easily?
But everything in front of me shows that my biological parents are not simple.

"An Ran, come into the house."
Seeing me stunned in place, my brother walked over.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure rushed out of the room.
"Dad, I brought An Ran back."
I widened my eyes and stared at the middle-aged man who rushed to my eyes.
Is this my father?
He is so tall, taller and taller than his brother.
He looked at me and grinned.
"Don't scare the child."
As with another gentle voice, a gentle woman walked out.
Her eyes were fixed on me and I could no longer move.
She looked at me, her eyes gradually turned red. When she spoke again, she cried and said, "My child..."
Looking at her crying, I felt depressed and my nose became sore.
I bit my lip and moved my fingers, trying to wipe off the tears from her face, but my eyes were also blurred, making me unable to see her appearance clearly.
In the Li family, I grew up with the company of my maid and mother, and I have never experienced the warmth of family affection.
From the beginning of my memory, my mother ignored me.
She was in her courtyard all day long, and the house was filled with the smell of medicine.
The nanny beside my mother looked at me with pity and said, I will have a younger brother in the future.
Madam said that my mother hurt her body when she gave birth to me, and no matter how much childbirth prescription she drank, it would be of no help.
In the end, she failed to get her wish, and I didn’t have a younger brother.
So, every time my father brought back an aunt, I also had several concubines one after another.
The look of my mother looking at me became colder and colder.
Everyone says I am very sensible, but I think it is still not enough. If it is enough, why would my mother not like me, and she would not even look at me at one more time.
I learned to make soup, brought it to my mother, and pestered her to drink until she knocked over the bowl.
She always had a headache. I learned acupoint massage. When I wanted to relieve her, she coldly interrupted my hand.
I envy my two cousins. If they do something wrong, their aunt will scold them.
No matter what I do, my parents will not scold me.
I thought I was born with a weak family relationship and was not loved by my parents.
"Mom, my sister is back, you should be happy."
"Yes, yes, come in quickly, I have made you delicious food."
She held my hand and pulled me into the house.
I held her back hard.
I also have parents and family.
This is not a dream.

After entering the house, a girl of six or seven years old flipped off the stool. She looked at me curiously with two round buns.
When I saw me looking over, I pouted and snorted coldly, "Hmph! You grew up from a wealthy family. Do you also look down on our family like Xie Bao...Li Baozhi?"
"This is also my family, why do I look down on me?"
I bent over, touched her little trunk, and smiled, "Bao Lian, your name is really nice."
I bent over, touched her little trunk, and smiled, "Bao Lian, your name is really nice."
She saw me looking at her with envy, blinked her big eyes, her little face bulged, and then pouted, "You have vision."
I looked at the vivid expression on her face, and my heart became soft. This is my sister, and I called her softly, "Sister."
She blushed and glanced at me involuntarily, and her little mouth moved, and she shouted indifferently, "Sister."
I pursed my lips and smiled.
Suddenly, she rushed over and hugged me.
I suddenly stood still. I've never been so close to anyone.
The small body crashed into it, so soft.
My heart is like soaking in warm water, warming it up.
In my arms, Baolian's glutinous voice came muffled, "Sister, it would be great if you came back early."
For a moment, a strange emotion rolled in my chest. I bit my lip, my nose felt sore, and tears burst out from my eyes.
Since I learned about the life of Li Baozhi and I interchange, I have been frightened and confused for this period of time. My heart has been repeatedly pulled and floating. At this moment, it has fallen in front of my family.
"Daddy and mom are very guilty. I lost you. Mom is sick."
I patted her on the back and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll be fine if I'll be back soon."
Mom was wiping her tears, dad's eyes were red, and my brother's back was facing us, but his shaking shoulders showed his uneasy mood.

After this day, I also changed my name to Xie Anran.
At home, there is the love of parents, the care of brother, and a sometimes noisy and sometimes well-behaved sister.
I have never had the freedom and warmth before.
This is a picture that I dare not even imagine in my dream.
A calm day, with several carriages parked in front of the yard, it ended abruptly.
The people from the Li family came faster than they thought, but it was only two months.
"Miss Three."
The person who came was Madam Sun next to her grandmother. She was carrying several guards behind her, and outside the yard, there were several guards, a group of more than a dozen people.
It seems that the Li family has made up their minds to take me back.
"Three Miss, I am here to pick you up by the old lady." Madam Sun looked at me, her eyes with a hint of pity.
"Madam Sun, I have returned to my own home. I have nothing to do with the Li family." I looked at Madam Sun and said calmly.
"Li Baozhi and I were replaced because of the evil servants of the Li family. After all, it was the Li family's fault. My Xie family and I were innocently victimized. Now everyone should return to the bridge and return to the road.
" You shouldn't have come."
"Three Miss." Madam Sun looked at me with a embarrassed look, "You know, no one can disobey the old lady's decision."
I looked at Madam Sun and asked, "This time, which family did the old lady like?"
Madam Sun sighed slightly, maybe she couldn't bear it, or because she brought enough people, she still slowly said to me:
"Since you left, the old lady blocked the news and only went to the outsider to pray for her family, you went to Baohua Mountain to pray for your family."
"Ms. Baozhi has become the fourth lady in our mansion. Last month, she had already made a marriage with the prince of Changning Hou."
"The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion came to propose marriage to the mansion, and the old lady... has agreed."
The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion?
The old lady is really good at pursuing her, and she even wants to climb up to the Han family of Zuo Prime Minister’s Mansion.
The Han family has only two young men, one of whom has married.
There is another widower, the second young master of Han who just died not long ago.
The second young master of Han is Han Xiang’s old son. He has been favored since childhood and is cruel.
There are rumors that his wife was abused to death by him.
The truth of the rumors is unknown, but when I heard about the old lady’s plan, I was still shuddered.
Even if I have no blood relationship, I have been her granddaughter for fifteen years.
She actually wanted to push me into the fire pit.
I laughed at myself, for the honor of the Li family, what else can she not do?
At that time, the second cousin was unwilling to be a concubine and threatened him with death. In the end, the old lady still grabbed the second cousin's biological mother, forcing the second cousin to marry.
"Ranran, don't be afraid, dad is there in everything."
Dad stood behind me, touched my head, and said in a warm voice.
I am not afraid of the Li family, but I don’t want to break the peaceful life of my family because of me.
Mom also walked out, she hugged my shoulders and said in my ear, "Don't worry, Ranran, you will only be with your parents, we will not be separated."
"Dad, mom..." leaning against my mother, her eyes were sore and swollen. How could I bear to leave my parents?
I finally had a life that I couldn’t believe in in my dreams.
Long ago, I told my parents about my concerns.
Dad slammed the table and said furiously, "What a Li family child, extremely hypocritical."
Mom was very calm, and she said to me with a gentle face, "Don't be afraid, everything will be my parents."
Although my parents didn't say anything, I could feel that my parents are not ordinary people after being together for a while.
Everything at home is low-key and luxurious.
What seems inconspicuous is priceless.
At this moment, a fight suddenly came from outside the yard.
I burst into my heart and looked at it. It was my brother who rushed back!
He started fighting with several guards outside the yard.
"Brother." I couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Don't worry, your brother is holding his anger, let him vent his anger."
Mother comforted me.
I also calmed down.
I have seen my father and brother doing boxing in the morning, and I also know that my brother has outstanding martial arts skills.
Asolutely, in just a moment, more than a dozen outdoors in Li's mansion fell to the ground one by one, and mourning sounds everywhere.
"Miss Third Miss, you guys..."
Madam Sun was shocked when she saw this. She widened her eyes and trembled when she spoke.
"Tell your old lady."
Mother looked at Madam Sun, and her eyes were filled with a cold feeling that I had never seen before.
"We Xie family will return to the capital soon. Goodbye to the capital."
"If you dare to hit my daughter, it depends on whether she has that life!"
