Gu Jin stood tall, her eyes calm but sharp.
She looked at Miss Xia and said in a confident voice,
"Everything you have, your family, your home, your title, it all belonged to me in the first place. We were swapped at birth.
You didn't know before, so I was ready to be generous. I was ready to forgive you and let you walk away peacefully."
Miss Xia blinked, then smiled. But it wasn't a kind smile.
It was cold. Mocking.
"Forgive me?" she said, laughing. "Do you think I didn't know? I've known since I was three years old."
Gu Jin froze. Even the soldiers hiding behind the trees gasped silently.
"What…?" Gu Jin asked, her voice low.
Miss Xia smirked, proud of her cruel words.
"Yes," she said slowly.
"I've known for a long time. My real mother visited me when I was a child. She told me everything.
She said there was another girl, you,and she promised that she would make sure you never reached the Xia Mansion. That you would never take my place."
