Chapter 29: You're Er Ya!!

 Chapter 29: You're Er Ya!!

Lu Dasong was almost driven mad by old  lady Ruan careless remarks as she got older. She said whatever was on her mind without any restraint.

Unfortunately, Lu Dasong was not good with words and couldn't find a way to refute her while he was filled with anger.

Lu Dasong could only turn to Shu Yu and say, "Miss Shu, I am Lu Erbai's elder brother. May I ask, since you are so sure that this girl is not Er Ya, do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, if you have any evidence, bring it out." Old lady Ruan was full of herself and didn't show any fear.

The villagers outside also joined in, "That's right, Miss Shu, you can't just say that someone is not who they are without any evidence. How can you prove it?"

"That's right, if you can't prove it, you shouldn't just drive her away if she is really Er Ya. Aren't you doing a bad thing?"

"You can't just say anything and it becomes true. Erbai's wife hasn't denied it either."

Shu Yu frowned and looked around. Before she could speak, she saw Da Hu and San Ya running over.

Da Hu stood in front of her, and San Ya, who was usually timid, lifted her head and said, "Sister Shu is a good person. She is not evil. Don't bully her."

Shu Yu's heart softened and she reached out to touch San Ya's head and whispered, "It's okay."

She patted Da Hu's shoulder and asked him to stand with San Ya.

Then she looked towards Ruan Pozi. Ruan Pozi had not spoken since earlier, and she didn't know why. Clearly, the girl had the same mole on her arm as Second Ya, but seeing her being hit and scolded by Shu Yu, Ruan Pozi couldn't bring herself to say anything to help her.

When old lady Ruan met Shu Yu's eyes, she was stunned.

Those eyes...

Shu Yu had her back facing the villagers outside the courtyard and lifted up the sleeve of her arm in front of Ruan Shi.

Ruan Shi lowered her head to take a look, but her eyes suddenly widened the next moment. She couldn't help but grab Shu Yu's arm with her hands and stared fixedly at the two moles on it.

Lu Dasong, who was standing nearby, also saw it and looked at her in shock.

"It's you, you have the same mole on your arm. Are you Er Ya?!" Ruan Shi's lips trembled. "Really, it's really you. I didn't recognize you wrong. You are Er Ya, I knew it, wuwuwu..."

She was so excited that if Shu Yu hadn't quickly supported her, Ruan Shi would have collapsed to the ground.

"What?!" Old lady Ruan on the other side changed her face drastically when she heard this and hurriedly took two steps forward to also see Shu Yu's arm.

She raised her head in disbelief. "You're Er Ya? No, it's impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Shu Yu put her sleeve back down and smiled. "Didn't you ask me for evidence? I am the evidence. Since I am the child that you stole and sold, the others must be imposter."

"You, you, it's not possible. You're not her, she is." Ruan's old lady panicked.

"She?" Shu Yu looked at the girl and scrutinized her up and down for a while. "Ask the villagers present here and see where she resembles the Lu family? Flat nose, thick lips, and small eyes?"

"But she has a mole on her arm."

"So do I."

Ruan's Pozi became flustered. "Since both have it, how can you say that you are Second Miss and she is an imposter?"

"It's actually simple to find out who is real and who is fake." Shu Yu looked at Ruan Shi. "I think the real Er Ya should have other marks on her body besides these two well-known moles, right?"
