Sang Yumei was indeed a pitiful person. Sang Qingxiao felt a mix of emotions and sighed.
Sang Yuzhen snorted coldly, saying that a pitiful person must have their faults. If it weren't for her, she would still be living her carefree days by Yan Min's side. But it wasn't entirely carefree; at the Yan family, she was always pretending to be ill, rarely going out. When she had to go out, she had to wrap herself up tightly, afraid to reveal her true self, worried that someone with ill intentions might recognize her and implicate the Yan family.
The situation was not as she wished, but if they could resolve the Sang family's identity issue, it would greatly benefit her as well. Hearing this, Sang Yuzhen paused for a moment before saying, "What you said really resonates with me. Who wouldn't want to live in the sunlight? However, what they want is certainly not just to bring the Sang family back. I have a vague feeling that their ambitions are vast, which frightens me."
"If it were just me, I could die without a care. But Yan Min gave me a second chance at life and a home. Lyu is also an exceptional child; even though he knows I am not his biological mother, he still protects and respects me deeply. I cannot let them put us in danger."
Sang Qingxiao comforted her, saying that they could discuss future matters later. The issues surrounding the Sang family couldn't be resolved overnight; she still had time to think of strategies. Right now, with Yan Min in trouble, she could use her current identity to help him—perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.
"What blessing?" Sang Yuzhen fretted. "If Yan Min knew I had to sacrifice the lives of the people of Luzhou to save him, he would surely resent me. A person as righteous as he is might even choose to die in protest."
"Child," Sang Qingxiao said knowingly, "I know you are exceptionally wise. The reason I called you here is twofold: first, to discuss Sang Yumei's matter. I only found out a few days ago that it was she who orchestrated my capture. Now that you've made a name for yourself in the city and share the Sang surname, I'm worried she might come looking for you, so I wanted to warn you in advance."
"The second reason is that I'm shamelessly asking if you have any methods to save my family. If you don't have any solutions either, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to follow her suggestions—even if Yan Min finds out later, I could just apologize with my death first; at least it would ensure Lyu's survival."
"Aunt Zhen, why be so pessimistic?"
Sang Yuzhen's eyes lit up. "What? Do you have an idea?"
"You just said that Cao Lin is someone who excels at scheming and loves taking credit?"
Sang Yuzhen replied indignantly, "Exactly! He not only enjoys boasting about his achievements among the common people but also knows how to flatter himself in official reports. It's not just him praising himself; even in others' reports, we can occasionally see his name."
"Most of these achievements are exaggerated or stolen from others. My Yan Min oversees Ze Province, which borders Luzhou. How could Cao Lin steal credit from Ze Province and make it sound credible? Even though my Yan Min has evidence in hand, he can still use his flowery words to claim some credit."
"How outrageous!" Sang Qingxiao laughed.
"What does it matter? Not only does he steal credit, but he also shifts blame! My Yan Min has suffered quite a bit because of him!"
"But I'm confident," Sang Qingxiao said with a smile. "I'm actually afraid he won't try to take credit! If he weren't so proactive, who knows when he'd make it into Jingjing City?"
Sang Yuzhen thought for a moment and suddenly realized what she meant: "You mean to let him take credit for entering Jingjing City?"
