After some discussion, they decided to meet up with the old couple in batches.
Li Wu Shuang naturally took the lead.
Fortunately, the old couple didn't have much contact with outsiders, and when their son passed away, the old lady couldn't accept the fact that her only son had passed away, so she didn't even hold a funeral and just buried her son first.
She had thought that she would be buried with her son after her death.
Therefore, everyone only knew that their son was sick all year round and did not see anyone.
Therefore, if Li Wu Shuang could convince the old couple, then Baisu would be able to take over their son's identity.
Li Wu Shuang patted his chest as a guarantee, but Lin Mengya still couldn't help but worry.
They waited outside the town for about a day. It was not until the evening that an old housekeeper with white hair came.
"Are you guests of my Young Mistress?"
The old housekeeper looked kind and benevolent, and in his hand was also Li Wu Shuang's handwritten letter.
Lin Mengya carefully looked at it, and saw that it had the secret code that she and Li Wu Shuang had agreed on before, so her suspicions were dispelled.
"Yes, sir. May I know who you are?"
The old butler waved his hand.
"You flatter me. I am the old butler of the Song Family. May I know which esteemed guest wants to impersonate my young master? "
Lin Mengya saw that the old steward looked a little anxious. She hesitated for a moment and then called Baisu, who had already dressed up.
The old butler nodded in satisfaction when he saw the 'young man' before him. The young man had delicate features, just that his disposition was slightly colder than usual.
"Greetings, Young Master. Young Master, Young Miss, this is a portrait of everyone in our family. There are names, identities, and personalities on it. You'd better memorize it to avoid making mistakes. "
Even Lin Mengya did not expect them to be so well-prepared.
Seeing her nod, Baisu thanked the old steward and walked to the side with the stack of portraits.
Lin Mengya also looked through the list and memorized all the information of these people.
With Xiaoyao's help, she and Baisu would not make any mistakes.
She gave Baisu enough time to memorize and then brought the old butler aside for questioning.
"Uncle Song, may I know who I am and how the Song Clan's Master and Madam have arranged for me?"
The old steward deliberated and said, "It's like this, Miss. Our master originally had an elder brother, and the eldest master only had a daughter.
Unfortunately, more than ten years ago, the First Master and that poor Miss died in a foreign land, and it was our Master who collected their remains.
However, no one knows about this. "
Lin Mengya understood what he meant.
"Now, Master and Madam of the Song Family want me to pretend to be Uncle Song's daughter?"
"Exactly."
She felt that this identity was not bad.
"Is it safe? Won't he be exposed? "
This was the most pressing issue at the moment.
The old butler shook his head.
"I don't think so. When the First Master moved away with his family, Miss was only two or three years old. It's normal that she doesn't remember anything here. "
That's true.
However, Lin Mengya still asked him about the matter of them being spied on recently.
The old housekeeper's reply was out of her expectations.
"Those people did sneak into the mansion a few times, but it seemed like they wanted to steal something from our mansion."
"Things? What is it? "
The old housekeeper did not know either.
Those people were not interested in the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that could be seen everywhere in the Song Family.
Instead, they were only interested in the "dowry" that Li Wu Shuang brought over.
However, although the Song Family had a small number of people, they had a few highly skilled guards sent by the Li Family to protect Li Wu Shuang.
Therefore, those people would be discovered in the end, and they never had the chance to get their hands on the dowry.
She frowned.
Before coming here, she had asked her third brother to secretly deal with those fake students that Shi Tuo had sent in.
From them, she found out that Shi Tuo had also asked them to look for something in the academy.
But as for what it was, her third brother had not found out.
Oh yes, there was also the small mustache man who sneaked into the tomb to steal the seeds.
All these clues made Lin Mengya feel that there was something unusual about this matter.
In the end, what was the purpose of these people?
The old housekeeper quietly brought Baisu back to the mansion.
He said that the house had been properly taken care of, and that tomorrow, she could bring people to put on a show of "reuniting".
Lin Mengya repeatedly reminded Baisu that she had to play the role of a frail medicine pot, and must not reveal her "masculinity" in a moment of excitement.
Baisu did not say anything, she was probably a little nervous in her heart.
After sending them off, Lin Mengya brazenly stayed in an inn outside the town with the rest of the people.
The next day, after she woke up, she openly asked the innkeeper about the Song Family's old couple's residence.
At this time, she happened to run into a vegetable farmer who came to deliver food to the innkeeper. When he knew that she was here to look for her relatives, he immediately warmly invited her to come with him.
After entering the town, the vegetable farmer met acquaintances, and unconsciously told them that she was the orphan of the Song Family's eldest uncle.
This was also Lin Mengya's intention. She believed that in less than half a day, the whole town would know that the daughter of the Song Family's eldest uncle had gone to seek shelter with him.
The vegetable farmer warmly led her to the Song Family's main gate.
Lin Mengya gave him some money for leading the way, and the latter happily left.
"Master, there really is someone monitoring the Song Family." Cai Ru said in a low voice.
In fact, she could also feel it.
Moreover, these people's disguises could be considered pretty good, but unfortunately, they were not as sharp as them.
Not long after, two white-haired old couple came out to welcome her.
The man only took a glance at her, and was stunned on the spot.
"Alike, they really look alike!"
In order to make her identity more realistic, she disguised herself according to Li Wu Shuang's description.
Old Master Song often said that although he and the First Uncle were a few years apart, they looked like twins.
Therefore, Lin Mengya's current appearance was thirty to forty percent similar to Old Master Song.
She curled her lips, but very quickly changed into an indescribably excited expression.
"Second Uncle, you must be my Second Uncle, right?"
She threw herself over, hugged Old Master Song, and burst into tears.
When the crowd saw that they looked like real father and daughter, they also believed that it was true.
After crying enough, she then raised her head and looked at Old Madam Song.
"You must be Aunt, Song Xiang greets Aunt."
Even though she knew it was fake, the Old Madam's eyes still reddened.
He took her hand and said lovingly, "You've suffered all these years. Come, child, let's go home and have a good rest. From now on, this is yours.
I'm home. "
Lin Mengya nodded excitedly and walked in with Mr. and Mrs. Song.
At the corner of the street, a man sitting at a tea stall was filled with doubt.
"Go and check if the Song family really has such a relative."
His subordinates immediately went to do it.
When they entered the main hall, Mr. and Mrs. Song greeted them warmly as if they were welcoming a real niece.
When the tea was served, the old lady wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "You still don't know, right? I've married a man for your cousin. Cuiying, invite Young Madam over. "
Not long after, Li Wu Shuang appeared in front of her.
The two of them pretended to meet for the first time, introduced themselves, and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Not long after, the old housekeeper came back to report that the neighbors of the Song Family's Eldest Uncle had heard that their daughter had returned, so they wanted to come and catch up.
When Lin Mengya heard this, she knew that they had sent someone to test her.
Fortunately, Old Master Song had already told her about her Eldest Uncle's situation. As long as she was careful, she definitely wouldn't give herself away.
The members of the Song family exchanged glances with each other. Then, Master Song asked someone to invite the old neighbors who came to visit to come in.
"Where's the little girl from the Song Family? Oh, I really didn't expect that I would be able to see that little girl in my lifetime! "
The one who spoke was a shrewd woman who seemed to be over fifty years old.
After coming in, the woman's line of sight was stuck on her. She squinted her eyes and pretended to be surprised and said, "Is this Song Xiang? I remember when you were a child, you looked exactly like your mother. Why do you look like your father now? "
The information that Old Master gave her said that Song Xiang's facial features were more like her father's.
Therefore, when Lin Mengya heard it, she knew that the woman was bluffing.
At that moment, she smiled and said, "My mother passed away when I was young, I forgot what she looked like. But everyone said that I look like my father. "
The woman's eyes flashed. Obviously, she had failed to test her.
On the other hand, the people behind her all nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, I remember that when Song Xiang was a child, she looked very much like her father and Second Uncle."
"I still remember that Second Old Master often carried her and told everyone that she was his daughter!"
Old Madam Song looked at her "niece" with a smile. Hearing the old neighbors' words, she also said, "Yes, I wanted to adopt Xiang 'er under our name. Alas, if I had known that Eldest Uncle would pass away like this, I would have kept her, so that she wouldn't have to suffer so much outside. "
Old Madam was about to wipe away her tears as she spoke.
She was telling the truth.
Her husband and Eldest Brother had a good relationship. After their in-laws passed away, Eldest Brother left with his wife and daughter.
At that time, she was also very reluctant to let her little daughter wander outside with Eldest Uncle. However, Eldest Uncle insisted, and she didn't want to hear that they were separated forever.
Lin Mengya took the initiative to wipe away Madam Song's tears.
Madam Song grabbed her hand and said with a smile through her tears, "From now on, you are my daughter."
Everyone couldn't help sighing.
The shrewd old woman rolled her eyes and continued to ask, "I heard that your daughter-in-law went out of the courtyard a while ago. She just came back, and Miss Song arrived right after. Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
Old Madam Song and Old Madam Song were stunned.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled. She said, "Uncle, aunt, in fact, it's all thanks to Sister-in-law that I can find you this time."
Old Master Song pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? What do you mean? "
