My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 304 - 181: Can You Give My Husband Back to Me, Please?
Song Residence.
Inside the main hall.
Old Mrs. Song tightly clasped the hand of a woman who bore the same appearance as Song Jiaren, her tears streaming down, while she wiped her tears and said, "Yiren, my poor granddaughter…"
Song Zhen, having learned of Li Nuo's achievement as the Sixth-Ranking Scholar, had initially come to the Song Residence to offer his congratulations. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but stand to the side, silently shedding tears.
Except for Song Tai, who was in the military, Song Lian and Song Hao, who had received the news, also rushed back at once.
In the corner, Song Mu'er and Song Ning'er were still in shock.
Li Nuo was no better off.
His wife actually has a twin sister?
No one had ever told him about this before.
Song Mu'er, Song Ning'er.
Song Jiaren, Song Yiren.
One Song Family, yet there were two sets of twin sisters.
Just deal with the twin sisters then, but every sister liked to impersonate the other...
They wore the same clothes, used the same sachets, even their swords looked identical. How could he tell them apart?
Although he could distinguish them by their body heat, Li Nuo never knew about it before!
Li Nuo looked at his wife beside him and explained, "She impersonated you, I thought it was you..."
At this moment, Song Jiaren had no mind to consider the issues with Li Anning.
She knew she had a twin sister, but it was only occasionally mentioned by her family during her childhood.
When her twin sister, who looked exactly like her, stood alive before her, her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
A hurried set of footsteps came from outside, and Song Zhe entered the main hall quickly. He looked at Li Nuo's side at Song Jiaren, then at Old Mrs. Song's side at Song Yiren, his lips moved slightly, and he gently said, "Yiren..."
The woman looked at him, a glimmer appearing in her eyes as she sniffled and said, "Dad..."
The scene of father and daughter recognizing each other was touching.
Li Nuo walked over to Housekeeper Wu, who was watching the excitement from the corner, and asked in a low voice, "Did you know about this?"
Housekeeper Wu nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Song had twin daughters back then. After she had a fallout with Lord Song and left the Song Family, she took Miss Yiren with her and left the young madam behind..."
Li Nuo widened his eyes, "You knew and you didn't tell me?"
Housekeeper Wu innocently said, "Young master, you never asked..."
"What else are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing else."
Li Nuo looked at his wife and then at her sister, who looked exactly like her, still feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Unlike Mumu and Ning'er, she was his wife's sister by both parents, his real aunt, and she looked exactly like his wife; he needed some time to adjust and accept this.
Old Lady sat on a chair. They brought another stool and had Song Yiren sit right beside her. The wrinkles on her face smoothed as she held her hand and kept saying, "Eighteen years, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Song Zhen also held her hand, unwilling to let go. Remembering something, he asked again, "Where's your mother? Did she come back with you?"
Song Zhe's eyes shifted slightly, a hint of expectation in his expression.
Song Yiren shook her head and said, "No, I came back alone secretly."
Song Zhen asked, "Will you go back then?"
Song Yiren shook her head more firmly and said, "I don't want to go back. No one there cares about me. My mother only forces me to practice cultivation. If I don't do well, she locks me up, making me stay alone in the icy and snowy conditions..."
Hearing her say this, Old Lady's tears, which had just stopped, started flowing again as she embraced Song Yiren, saying, "No going back, no going back, no one is going to make you go back!"
Thinking of that woman's character, she knew how much her granddaughter had suffered over the years. She glared at Song Zhe and angrily said, "Back then, I told you to marry a woman from a scholarly family, but you wouldn't listen, insisting on marrying a woman from Jianghu. She wanted to take Yiren away, and you didn't stop her. Yiren has suffered so much these years, my poor granddaughter..."
Song Zhe bowed his head, silent and not daring to say a word.
The son-in-law had just achieved the title of top scholar, and the daughter, who had been lost for over ten years, returned home. Today, the Song Family was truly blessed with double happiness.
Old Lady and Song Zhen, holding Song Yiren's hands and bombarding her with questions, and all the Song Family's faces were filled with smiles. Yiren, having been lost since childhood and finally returned home, deserved to have all these years of neglect made up to her.
Then, Song Yiren suddenly said, "Grandmother, I came back this time actually for another important matter."
Old Lady, smiling, said, "What is it? Just say it. Even if you ask for the stars in the sky, grandmother will have someone pluck them for you."
Song Yiren smiled and said, "I don't want the stars in the sky. I heard from mother, when I was a child, my family had arranged a marriage for me. Now that I have reached the age for marriage, I came back for that..."
The smile on Old Lady's face suddenly faded.
The smiles on the faces of others in the Song Residence also stiffened.
Li Nuo was somewhat curious. Song Yiren had been betrothed in childhood. He wondered whom she was promised to?
Old Lady forced a smile and said, "Yiren, you just got back home; you must be tired. You go rest at grandmother's place, I'll have the servants prepare a courtyard for you. Mumu's mother, take Yiren to my place..."
After Song Yiren left, Old Lady then turned to Li Nuo and Song Jiaren, saying, "Jiaren, you two go back as well."
Li Nuo walked out of the hall but didn't go back to their room with his wife immediately.
He turned to Housekeeper Wu and asked, "Do you know who Song Yiren was betrothed to?"
Housekeeper Wu looked at Li Nuo with a strange expression in his eyes, nodded, and said, "Indeed, the old servant does know..."
No matter the issue, as long as Li Nuo didn't inquire, Housekeeper Wu could never remember it on his own.
Li Nuo cast him a glance and didn't hold it against him, asking, "Who?"
When Li Nuo heard that Song Yiren was to be married off, his first feeling was discomfort.
It wasn't that he harbored any feelings towards his sister-in-law.
It was really because she bore the same face as his wife, and he couldn't possibly not care.
Housekeeper Wu cleared his throat, and said, "It was like this, initially Mrs. Song and your wife were promised to each other, but Mrs. Song gave birth to twins, obviously they couldn't both marry the young master, so at the twin sisters' first birthday, the Song Residence let them grasp at things, and the result was that Miss Jiaren chose a sword, while Miss Yiren chose a wedding book..."
Li Nuo stared blankly at him.
Housekeeper Wu continued slowly, "This means, actually Miss Yiren should have been the young madam of the Li Family, but she was taken away by Mrs. Song, so the Song Family had Miss Jiaren marry over..."
Li Nuo was speechless for a long time.
Li Anning's situation hadn't been dealt with, and now there emerged a sister-in-law who looked exactly like his wife, and who was meant to marry him...
After all that, she was the real one, and his wife was the fake one.
His entire world was in chaos.
Utter chaos.
After a moment, he said, "No, no, we must return to the Li Family first, I need some time alone..."
When leaving the Song Residence, he saw a carriage stopped at the entrance.
Phoenix, holding a pile of gifts, saw Li Nuo and smiled, about to say something when Li Nuo immediately waved his hand, saying, "It's already chaotic enough here, don't add to my confusion..."
The carriage soon left, leaving Phoenix disheveled in the wind.
Song Residence.
Ms. Wang, the mother of Song Mu'er, walked with Song Yiren into a courtyard, and Song Yiren said, "Auntie, you don't need to worry about me. I'm not tired, I'll just walk around the residence to get acquainted with the place..."
Ms. Wang said, "Then I'll find a maid to accompany you."
Song Yiren shook her head, "No need, I'll have Ning'er show me around."
She beckoned to a figure not far behind who was curiously observing her and called out, "Ning'er, come over here..."
Song Ning'er timidly approached, and upon seeing this, Ms. Wang said, "Ning'er, this is your sister Yiren, show her around our home, will you?"
After her mother left, Song Ning'er lifted her head, asking in confusion, "How did you know I am Ning'er?"
Song Yiren pinched her cheek, changed her voice, and asked with a smile, "What, you don't recognize me?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Song Ning'er's eyes widened in amazement, and she exclaimed, "Master Sister!"
Meanwhile, inside the main hall.
The people of the Song Residence looked at each other in dismay.
Yiren's fiancé was actually Jiaren's husband.
Originally, it was Yiren who was engaged to Li Nuo.
As the wedding drew near last year and Yiren was far in the Sanqing Sect, fulfilling the promise made back then, they had no choice but to have Jiaren marry him.
Now that she had returned, it wasn't possible to have Jiaren give her husband back to her...
The Old Lady tapped her cane heavily on the ground several times, saying, "What should we do now, tell me!"
Song Lian cleared his throat and said, "Although it was Yiren who was initially engaged, Jiaren and Li Nuo are already married, and that cannot be undone. Perhaps we should seek another suitable match for her..."
Song Zhen sighed, "What suitable match could compare to the Sixth-Ranking Scholar?"
Song Hao knew she still harbored resentment for not becoming the wife of the Sixth-Ranking Scholar, spoke up, "Given the situation, we can only do as the second brother suggested. There are numerous outstanding young men in Chang'an, finding another husband for her who is both talented and good-looking isn't difficult..."
The Old Lady clutched her cane, bowing her head and sighing deeply, "We owe Yiren too much..."
In another courtyard.
Song Jiaren stood in the yard, gazing in a certain direction, slowly lowering her head.
If she had wished, the conversation in the hall couldn't have been hidden from her.
So it turned out, her husband wasn't truly hers.
All those paintings, those poems, the gifts from others, they weren't meant for her.
Even practicing the Yuqing Heart Technique, which normally kept her emotions stable, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel uncontrollably sad.
Li Anning was right.
She wasn't a good wife.
When it was most critical to cherish, she had failed to do so.
This was her punishment.
Just then, a figure slowly walked into the courtyard.
Song Jiaren lifted her head, and their gazes met.
Strictly speaking, this was the first dialogue between two sisters.
Song Yiren looked at Song Jiaren, and softly said, "Sister, I won't argue with you for anything, could you return husband to me, since you don't like him, why continue the torment..."
