My Five-Year-Old Darling Shakes the Capital, and My Mother Is the Hou Mansion's Real Heiress

(Real and fake heiresses + secret identities and face-slapping + adorable heroine and doted-on child)

Yu Youning was five years old when she learned that her mother was the real daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Household, who had been lost for over twenty years. On the day they returned to the marquis household, the Marchioness hugged the fake heiress and wept bitterly, putting on a show of mother-daughter affection.

As Wen Youning munched on a candied haw, she asked innocently, “Grandmother, my mother was away from home for over twenty years, while this auntie spent more than twenty years living here as the eldest young lady. Why is she crying? Is she sad because my mother found her birth mother, but she couldn't go back to hers?”

The two women who had been embracing and sobbing just moments earlier were instantly left looking awkward.

Everyone in the Yong'an Marquis Household thought Yu Youning and her mother were country bumpkins from some backwater, despising and looking down on them. Her classmates mocked her for knowing nothing about music or chess, only to see the Chief Grand Secretary's legitimate grandson compete to become her study companion. An Elder of the Valley of Medicine King dropped to his knees on the spot. “Greetings, Little Martial Aunt. Please bestow medicine upon us!” The old marshal of the Northern Defense Army went even further, calling her his precious granddaughter and trying to tempt her into riding a horse with his tiger tally.

The Crown Prince's health had been up and down, but after getting close to Yu Youning, he grew healthier by the day.

On the day she cut ties with the household, Youning swung the golden abacus of the Nine Provinces Trade Association and said with a sweet smile, “The marquis household's food is too awful. Ningning doesn't want to play here anymore!”
