It was summer, and the sky was luxuriously purple. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was half filled with colorful clouds.
The moment Ling Yan's voice fell, everyone's expressions changed.
Other than Mu Yi'an, who still had a deadpan expression, the rest of the people had wonderful expressions.
There were those who were watching, those who were proud, those who were curious, and those who were shocked.
Yi Xiaoqiao seemed to have been frozen in disbelief. She opened her mouth several times, but failed to spit out the word 'holy shit'.
"That's impossible. Are you testing it wrongly?"
"Miss, I won't be wrong. This is really your handprint. Although your hand was a bit small at that time, there are some characteristics that will not change. If you don't believe it, you can verify it yourself."
'I'm finished, I've really become Princess Yun Jiao's maid. I've really replaced the little Qiao from before. Even her body … ' What about her body? Where is it now? Could it be that the teleportation of consciousness had nothing to do with the body?
Then did her body fall into a deep slumber? Dead? Or was it … Was it used by someone else?
She wished she could run back and see.
Everything that had happened before seemed like a dream to her. She had always dreamt of the day when she would be able to return home and be with her parents and grandparents.
What was true, what was false, was she little Joe or little Joe? Just what was going on!?
In her panic, she raised her eyes to look at Mu Yi'an, trying to find a trace of comfort from him. Unfortunately, she quickly realized that she was being too important.
Mu Yi An's expression was dark and expressionless as he looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger.
"This time, you have no way to refute me, right? You are my family's little Qiao." Princess Yun Jiao pursed her lips and smiled. She stroked her wide sleeve as she said, "Luckily, I was able to get you to draw a bet when we signed the indenture contract. Otherwise, you would have already escaped!"
Lian Lian Li had already arrived in front of Yi Xiaoqiao. She slapped Yi Xiaoqiao to the ground. With a haughty expression, she said, "Cui Huan, please punish our family and let her know the rules of our King Yu's Mansion!"
"Yes, princess!" "Yes!" Cui Huan replied happily and ran down the stairs.
Yi Xiaoqiao sat there in a daze. She regretted buying that book from the bookstall, regretted coming to this world, regretted not wanting to go back at all times.
Strangely, when she first saw the book, it was as if she had seen something incredible. The book immediately attracted her, and all of her attention was focused on the book. She didn't think too much about it and just bought it.
It was only when she got here that she realized something was wrong.
Yi Xiaoqiao's mind was in a mess. She thought she heard Princess Yunjiao's words, but she acted as if she didn't hear anything. She raised her head to look at Muyi and saw his frown.
"Princess …"
"Mu Yi An, can you not worry about it!" Yun Jiao interrupted Mu Yi An, "Cui Huan, call me!"
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
Yi Xiaoqiao jumped up in pain and grabbed the rattan.
Regardless of whether it was signed by her or not, she could not allow herself to be slaughtered. If she really became a fish to be slaughtered, then the only thing she could do was die. At this point, there was only one way: to refuse to admit it!
With this thought, Yi Xiaoqiao seemed to have boundless strength. He grabbed the rattan branch from Cui Huan's hand and snapped it a few times.
Cui Huan screamed as she was hit.
"If I say it's not me, then it's not me. Who knows where you guys got that thing from, so you can impersonate my handprint!"
After a few more slaps, Cui Huan was knocked to the ground. She wailed, "Princess, save me, save me …"
"You … "Little Qiao, you …" Yun Jiao was so angry that her face and neck turned red. She turned around and stared at Mu Yi An: "Mu Yi An, it's none of your business!"
Mu Yi An coughed lightly and retracted the faint smile on his face. He said seriously, "Of course not."
"Then …"
"Little Qiao's words are reasonable. A hand seal can be faked, but humans have some characteristics that cannot be faked. It would be better if the princess added another characteristic that Little Qiao cannot refute. If she's right, then she will be Little Qiao."
Yi Xiaoqiao frowned as he looked at Muyi. What did it mean to say that she had the same characteristics as Muyi? Was she going to be stripped naked later on?
The corner of her mouth twitched, making her even more angry.
Yun Jiao also cast a sidelong glance at Mu Yi'an. From her point of view, Mu Yi'an had the intention of helping little Qiao. How would she know what sort of characteristics little Qiao had, and they weren't sleeping together.
Just as she was feeling depressed, Cui Huan came over and whispered something into her ear.
She walked around Yi Xiaoqiao and said with a smile, "Since Brother An has called me to tell me, then I'll tell Brother An that there is a red butterfly birthmark on her back. If Brother An doesn't believe me, I can ask someone to examine it!"
What?
Red, butterfly, birthmark?
Yi Xiaoqiao subconsciously touched his back, feeling a little flustered.
If this body belonged to him, Yi Xiaoqiao would definitely not take his words to heart. However, this body was most likely his right now, not hers. It would be hard to say if this back had a birthmark.
If there really was one, then wouldn't she be at a loss of what to say?
"Peaches, go check it out with Jade Ring."
In the midst of his panic, Yi Xiaoqiao heard Muyi's voice and raised his eyes to look at him. However, he was forcibly shoved into the back room.
"Take it off." Cui Huan looked at her with her sleeves, and smiled, "If you don't want to take it off, I can do it for you, but I'm too strong. If you wait for me …"
She looked at Yi Xiaoqiao's clothes. Her meaning was obvious.
Peach leaned over and said, "Miss, please take off your shirt and let us see. It will be fine."
Although Yi Xiaoqiao was unwilling to allow anyone to see her body, the situation had reached such a point that she had nowhere to retreat to. All she could do was bite the bullet and take off her top.
Her black hair was tied up in front of her, and the fine red ribbon tied behind her back could not hide the radiance of spring on her back. She looked very thin, and her skin was tight and smooth, as if it were glowing in the candlelight.
A hint of hatred flashed through Cui Huan's eyes. She pulled off her clothes, "Taking off your clothes is so slow, who are you trying to hook up with!"
With a "shua" sound, her clothes flew back to her waist, and she proudly laughed: "Haha, really, this time you can't deny it, I already told you that you are little Qiao, I won't be wrong!"
"Princess, she really does have a birthmark on her." Cui Huan ran off to report to him.
The center of the back, which was as smooth as jade, was separated by the spine. The birthmarks of two butterflies, one on the left and the other on the right, were extremely symmetrical, as if they had been drawn on by someone.
Peach picked up her clothes and put them on her. "Miss, quickly put on your clothes. Don't get cold."
Yi Xiaoqiao grabbed her collar and tightly wrapped her body around it. She should have known this a long time ago, right? But why hadn't she suspected it?
Although her face was her own and her body was very similar to her own, the clothes she wore when she woke up were old-fashioned, not hers. She should have known since then, but why had she never suspected anything?
Peach helped Yi Xiaoqiao out.
Yun Jiao was sipping her tea when she cast a sidelong glance at Yi Xiaoqiao. She put down the teacup and smiled. "Little Qiao, do you have anything to refute?"
Yi Xiaoqiao lowered her eyes in silence. She had nothing to argue with, nor could she argue with. The heavens had just played a joke on her, so she could only bear with it.
"Since there's nothing else to say, then …" Yun Jiao smiled, "If you drag it out, we'll kill you!"
