"Oh, it's normal for the County Head not to recognize her since Yu Nianzhao was brought back six years ago when she was still young, and later... She was sent to Tomb Guard City for five years. She has only just returned."
Lien Yanran didn't see Pei Yunzhi's unpleasant expression and continued saying, "Yu Nianzhao is the daughter raised by my uncle and aunt in the countryside, so she's also my cousin!"
Upon hearing Lien Yanran's explanation, Pei Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She also remembered that, at the time, no one had deliberately explained Yu Nianzhao's background to her to make her feel better.
Apart from her grandfather, grandmother, and uncle, who knew Yu Nianzhao's true identity, the rest of the Lien Family were also kept in the dark, believing Yu Nianzhao was indeed sent to the countryside after her birth.
Although she didn't understand it, she accepted this layer of identity.
