[A pastry-shop owner from ancient times, now in the modern era] × [the refined eldest son of one of the four great families] × [the attempt to keep the child and leave the father fails]
It really does sound ridiculous: this young lady from a distinguished family was raised by an ordinary household, living a life utterly at odds with her status. And when Madam Su finally found her and brought her home, the young lady looked exceedingly poor and down on her luck.
She had walked there on foot, wearing clothes that were old but still serviceable, with a little boy as adorable as a doll in her arms. No man accompanied her, yet she carried herself with an independent, resilient air.
The masters of the Su family estate did their best to cover up the truth, but the servants were sharp-eyed and knew everything. They began whispering among themselves, speculating about the young lady's past.
Yujiao seemed not to care what they said. She simply stood there quietly, appreciating the rare beauty of the view. Her eyes were full of anticipation for the future and love for life.
Even in such dire circumstances, even with the people around her gossiping, Yujiao stood her ground.
