Chapter 20 Liu Mingyue's Background

After much effort, Grandma Liu's family finally managed to make snow-white tofu.

"This, this... Mother, we really made it! I never imagined that ordinary soybeans could turn into something like this!"

The Liu family was very surprised. They thought their mother was just making a fuss, but because of Old Lady Liu's usual authority, no one dared to say anything.

But to everyone's surprise, they actually succeeded.

"What, do you really think your mother is messing around and wasting food?" Don't think that Old Lady Liu can't see what this family is thinking. With their little tricks, Old Lady Liu is too lazy to explain.

"Hey, Mother, we've just never met before!" Liu Lao Er quickly explained when he saw his mother's bad expression.

"That's right, that's right! Mom's soy milk is so delicious, I bet the tofu is good too!" Little Liu quickly changed the subject, afraid that his mother would get angry.

"Of course! That tofu pudding was incredibly tender too!" Old Mrs. Liu clearly had an expression that said, "You can trust me, this stuff is absolutely delicious."

"Eldest daughter-in-law, let's try this tofu for lunch!"

"Oh, Mom, I'll go make it right away!"

The whole family was overjoyed to hear this and looked forward to how delicious the tofu would be as a dish.

“Eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, you three brothers should deliver the tofu to the clan elders and the village chief. We have received a lot of help from the clan in the past. Now that we have tofu, our family’s life will be even better. You must remember to be grateful.”

"Son, I've got it. I'll go deliver it right now!"

After settling her son in, Grandma Liu looked at the tofu in the bucket and finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She knew things would get better and better for her family from now on.

Princess Mingyue made tofu much faster than Old Lady Liu, after all, her machines were much more advanced, unlike Old Lady Liu who was still using primitive tools.

As soon as the soy milk was ready, Princess Mingyue had it sent to her father and mother, and of course, she also tasted it herself.

Unlike Old Lady Liu, who was stingy and reluctant to add sugar, Princess Mingyue strictly followed the recipe and added the right amount of sugar, making each sip rich in bean flavor.

"Princess, this soy milk is really good! Although it's not as sweet as the milk fruit, it has its own unique flavor." The lady-in-waiting beside her took a sip and was also amazed, which was probably due to the interstellar people drinking too much nutrient solution.

"It's good, but don't rush, we'll try the tofu pudding later. Remember to remind the chef to prepare two different flavors, I want to try them both!"

Mingyue was quite satisfied with the soy milk, but she couldn't forget the tofu pudding in the recipe. The soy milk tasted so good, the tofu pudding must be even better!

With this sense of anticipation, Princess Mingyue was extremely satisfied with Lin Liuyi, and when she had nothing else to do, she gave him a reward.

Yang Mingyue also started making tofu, but because of her status, she couldn't get the whole village to make tofu, so she exchanged soybeans with the villagers and soaked them.

"Hmph, I think some people are just making a mess of things!"

Gao Xiaoling still couldn't stand Yang Mingyue and would nitpick at her from time to time.

Yang Mingyue is now immune to it and doesn't want to deal with these two crazy people. Just wait, once she makes the tofu, she'll stay far away from them.

The other people at the educated youth settlement didn't discourage them; on the contrary, they were very helpful. After all, life in the countryside was indeed quite ordinary, with the same dishes every day. It would be great to have some tofu to change things up.

So when Yang Mingyue said she wanted to make tofu, everyone was eager to help, helping her exchange ingredients, and even offering to grind the soybeans for her.

Even the annoying Li Zhiqing didn't say anything, but silently helped. Of course, he wanted to eat tofu too!

He eats wild vegetables and leafy greens every day; he's practically turned green from eating them all!

No one agreed with Gao Xiaoling, and she was so angry that she turned around and ran out of the educated youth settlement.

No one chased after her, not even Li Zhiqing. Everyone was used to it, since Gao Xiaoling would run away so easily.

Everyone's attention is now focused on whether Yang Mingyue can successfully make tofu.

Unlike Yang Mingyue's expectations, Liu Mingyue was also busy making tofu at the moment.

Her situation was similar to that of Old Lady Liu, but she wasn't in such a hurry as Old Lady Liu. Instead, she instructed the kitchen to soak the beans in advance and prepare them after she got up in the morning.

Sure enough, following the recipe, she successfully made the soy milk. "Miss, this soy milk tastes different from cow's milk."

Liu Mingyue nodded repeatedly after hearing the maid's words, "Go, tell the others to send the soy milk to Father and my brothers to try as well."

"Don't worry, Miss. I just instructed the kitchen staff to send it to the Marquis and the young master."

The maidservant beside Liu Mingyue replied very cleverly.

"Alright, let the kitchen staff continue. I wonder how the tofu pudding tastes later?"

Like Princess Mingyue, after tasting the soy milk, everyone on Liu Mingyue's side began to look forward to the taste of tofu pudding.

"Don't worry, Miss, the tofu pudding must taste pretty good too."

Just as Liu Mingyue was looking forward to the taste of tofu pudding, Lord Liu came to her courtyard.

"How are you feeling, Mingyue? Are you feeling any better?"

Liu Mingyue thought her father had come for the soy milk, but unexpectedly he asked about her health directly.

"Father, didn't the doctor in the manor say I'm all better? Don't worry, I'm fine now. Father, did you try the soy milk I had someone send you? Did you like the taste?"

Liu Mingyue was in high spirits and was planning to tell her father about making tofu from soybeans. She never expected that her father had called her over to talk about something else.

"Soy milk? It tastes good. Mingyue's father came to see you because he wants to tell you something. You should be prepared." Lord Liu was preoccupied with his daughter's affairs and didn't notice anything special about the soy milk. After all, what Granny Qin had revealed was too unbelievable.

Seeing her father so serious, Liu Mingyue felt a little uneasy, wondering what could have made a marquis so solemn.

She dismissed the servants around her and looked at Lord Liu with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

"Mingyue, your father has something to tell you. I could have kept this from you, but I know you've been investigating it in secret. So, I'll tell you the truth of my investigation. Be prepared."

Upon hearing what Lord Liu said, Liu Mingyue instantly understood what her father was talking about.

"Father, could it be that I am really not Mother's biological daughter?" Liu Mingyue felt a pang of heartache at the thought.

"Alas, Mingyue, your father will not hide it from you. According to Qin Mama's confession, you are indeed not our Marquis's biological daughter." Marquis Liu sighed and gently patted Liu Mingyue's head.

Upon hearing the truth with her own ears, Liu Mingyue could no longer hold back her tears.

"If I'm not the Marquis's biological daughter, then what about my biological parents? Am I just an ordinary farm girl?" Liu Mingyue had only started to doubt her background because of reading stories, but she never expected that it would all come true.

Well then, if she really was just a peasant girl, she shouldn't have taken someone else's identity. She had already enjoyed the wealth and status of this noble family for more than a decade, and it should be returned to them. She just felt a little sorry for the girl whose identity she had taken.

In an instant, Liu Mingyue was ready to learn how to be a farm girl. After all, she had already learned how to make tofu, and if her family's conditions were not good, she could teach them to make tofu and sell it.

"A peasant girl? Mingyue, what are you thinking? This is what your father is about to tell you about your biological parents. According to Granny Qin, your mother switched the daughter of Princess Yuanzhao!" Lord Liu said with a bitter smile.

"What!" Just moments ago, Liu Mingyue was wondering how she would live her life in the countryside, and now her father was telling her that she was actually the daughter of a princess.

“Isn’t that incredible?” Liu Mingyue nodded.

"I also can't understand how your mother could have such audacity to secretly confuse the royal bloodline. This is a capital offense!"

In fact, Lord Liu also felt that his wife had lost her mind, daring to switch the princess's child.

This is also why Lord Liu did not hide the truth and told Liu Mingyue.

The truth will eventually come out, especially since Liu Mingyue is of royal blood. If this is really exposed, their Marquis's mansion will be doomed.

There is still a chance to salvage the situation.
