Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 418: Real Identity

At the small mansion stationed in the middle of nowhere on an icy mountain. The family that hadn’t seen each other for a very long time had finally gathered like this. After the talk about the token had been done. They started talking about the problems between the two families. This is especially true for Xue Shuyi, who was asked to marry someone else by her own brother. Though his father said that it was for the sake of getting her out of the family, she knows the other party who sent the message too well.

An elder of the poison sect, Shi Man. A notorious individual who was said to be wealthy and powerful, possessing a strength no different from a nascent soul despite just being at a late stage in the Jindan realm. It was because of this man’s reputation that she could not believe her father’s words.

Xue Shuyi said, "Father, you are a liar!"

"What are you talking about, Shu’er?!" The current clan master of the Snow Clan, Xue Yi, questioned.

Xue Shuyi’s eyes were pooling with tears, and glaring at his own father shouted, "You said this is to help me and my mother-in-law to escape the Snow Clan, but you are marrying me to someone who has no connection to the clan but is outside! That old man is a bad one and a madman; you want me to marry him for the sake of the clan!"

"What are you talking about? The one I chose for you is someone from the Snow Clan and your cousin with a distant blood relationship from your mother’s side... He is not bad...hm? Wait, who are you talking about, the one you are supposed to marry? What is his name?"

It was at this point that everyone realized that something was wrong in the conversation between Xue Shuyi and Clan Master Xue Yi. It was as if they weren’t talking about the same thing. Everyone noticed it as well.

Tan Shenyu asked, "Father-in-law, who was the person who had chosen to fake a marriage with Shu’er?"

"It’s a cousin from her mother’s side, a good man who also wanted to leave the clan. Xue Siyan," answered Xue Yi.

As expected, Xue Shuyi and Tang Yuyi showed confused expressions when they heard a different name mentioned by Xue Yi from the one Shuyi’s brother had been mentioning all this time.

Xue Shuyi calmed down at this moment and said, "No, Brother said you wanted to marry me outside to Old Man Shi Man, the poisonous elder of the Du (Poison) Sect."

"Old Man Shi Man!? No way. Even though he had mentioned those words in passing, I never agreed! What kind of nonsense are you talking about...?"

At this point, if Xue Yi still didn’t understand what was happening, he would be a fool. He now knew his wife and son hated his daughter, Xue Shuyi, at this point. His face turned dark as he realized that the person he chose to love and his only son was trying to harm his innocent daughter because of that single mistake. Even Tan Huangyu, who knows the real situation of Xue Shuyi’s birth, felt things had gone beyond one’s control.

Tan Huangyu said to his sworn brother, "Maybe it’s time to tell Shuyi and them the truth, A’Yi."

"What kind of riddles are you two old men talking about this time? Tell me!" said Tang Yuyi as she pinched the waist of her husband.

Hiss~

Tan Huangyu said to his wife, "Lao Po (My dear old wife), easy on my waist. It hurts~"

"Stop acting cute, you old man! Tell us already!" shouted Tang Yuyi.

Clan master Xue Yi was the one who said it to everyone. "Shu’er is not my daughter. She is my deceased sister’s only child. My sister betrayed the Snow Clan and left with her lover after giving birth to Shu’er. However, they were still killed by the clan that came out to hunt them. To protect Shu’er, I brought her back, pretending that she is my illegitimate daughter to give her a standing in the Snow Clan. To protect her, I didn’t even tell my wife and son. Who would have thought they would try to kill her just because of this?"

"I... I am not... not your daughter but... your niece?" Xue Shuyi was shocked. She never would have expected that the family she thought she had was her real family. It seems that they aren’t her family but her relatives instead.

Clan Leader Xue Yi pulled out a recording stone from his storage ring and said, "This is what your mother left you before; she chose to abandon you for her own happiness."

The content of the memory stone was played by Xue Shuyi at this moment. On the stone, a woman with white hair who looked similar to Xue Shuyi appeared in the recording. She is pregnant and still hasn’t given birth yet.

{My future child, if you are watching this right now, you must have realized who I am. I am your mother, Xue Fuya. This is a message to become a piece of evidence for my brother, Xue Yi, who would pretend to be your father in the future. Child, I have decided to leave you with the clan. I just can’t bear it anymore. Why do I have to marry my own blood-related cousin just to keep the bloodline pure!? Isn’t that disgusting? If not for someone with brains saying that intermarriage between siblings would cause the bloodline to mutate, those old crazy bastards of the Snow Clan would have married me to my brother. They are simply insane.}

{Child, hate me. I choose to abandon you for my own sake. If not for my brother, this recording wouldn’t have been made, and I would have just killed you before you were born. Your father is trash, and he didn’t want to be responsible for you. Only my brother cares for you. You are free to hate me or choose not to accept me. However, you cannot hate your future father. My brother is risking his marriage just to allow you to keep leaving.}

{I am not a good mother. Just hate me. Hate me. However, I will not regret my choice. The Snow Clan had gone mad. Just for the sake of preserving their bloodline, they don’t allow their descendants to get married outside. I can no longer bear it!}

The recording continues after the ranting of the lady, and even the scene of her giving birth to Xue Shuyi was shown in the recording.

Xue Yi, who looked younger in the video, held the recently born Xue Shuyi and brought her to his sister.

He said with a smile, "Look at her, Fuya. Your daughter is so pretty."

"Take her away. I don’t like her. Brother, in three days I will leave with my lover."

"Can’t you at least give her a name?"

"Why should I? I don’t like her. If not for her, I would have left this clan already!"

Xue Yi, in the video, was frowning at his sister’s words and didn’t speak anymore, and just brought the crying baby into his arms. He commanded the servants to bring his sister to rest.

"Bring her to rest in her room. Give her those pills I prepared for her."

After the servants had taken away the mother of the child, Xue Yi cuddled the baby to stop crying. He whispered in a soft voice.

"Don’t cry. If your mother doesn’t want you, Uncle likes you. I will call you Shuyi."

The recording ended at that moment and was cut off at that scene. This recording was enough proof to say that Xue Shuyi is indeed not the daughter of Xue Yi but instead his niece. Xue Shuyi didn’t feel much about her biological mother’s hate for her. However, her father, no... her uncle’s love for her is real. Her uncle treated her like his real daughter, protecting her at all times, and even if the clan wanted to punish her, he would always be there as her strongest pillar of support.

Xue Yi said, "Shu’er, don’t cry. Don’t keep your mother’s words in mind. She... She is just... like that, selfish and spoiled."

Xue Shuyi couldn’t help but cry upon seeing this recording. She is thankful that her father has protected her since she was born. However, because of her, his relationship with his own wife and son had gone sour.

"Fa——. Uncle, I understand. It is not your fault. Thank you for protecting me the whole time. I know that Mo—Aunt loves you a lot, and my brother also respects you. If not for me, they wouldn’t have estranged their relationship with you. Tomorrow, let’s show this recording to them and clear the misunderstanding between you and them," Xue Shuyi said.

Xue Yi looked worried and asked, "How about you then? The Snow Clan will not accept you if they learn you are my sister’s daughter."

"Sir, it’s alright. I am here. Bing’er and I are her family now," Tan Shenyu said.

Xue Shuyi hugs her husband and daughter. Even though she is sad that she no longer has a father to support her, at least she has her own family now. Even if she leaves the Snow Clan, the Tan Clan will protect her.

Clan Master Xue Yi sighs and says, "Alright! I will bring my wife and that brat here to apologize to you."

"No. It’s better if Granduncle says it during the clan meeting. I have something from the mistress that can silence them all. It is better to cleanly cut the past and make a new connection. Now that the clan master is no longer Xue Xian, the hatred of mistress towards the Snow Clan is no more. If she agrees, then the Snow Clan can be saved," said Tan Bingyu.

Tan Shenyu asked, "What did the mistress give to you, Bing’er?"

She brought out a carving of Yue Xuexia in her Moon Goddess form, carved on a world tree branch that she got from the Moonlight Forest in the Mortal realm.

"The carving of the mistress. It would allow her to descend in this place as the Moon Goddess," said Tan Bingyu.

Tan Huangyu said, "If it is to ask her divinity to descend, then it is better to do it at night. A’Yi, if this world is well, your Snow Clan will no longer have to fear the enemies Xue Xian has gathered."

"But will the Moon Goddess truly descend?" asked Xue Yi.

Tan Bingyu said, "She will."
