I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 157 Foresight

"I know that we are of unknown origin, and it is wishful thinking to think that we can gain everyone's trust with just a few words."

Although her words were full of understanding, Yun Qingyi's tone revealed a deep sadness, as if she were about to shatter at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Yun Qingrou and Ji Zhaoze lowered their heads in unison and fell silent.

They knew it was an act, but they never expected Yun Qingyi to be such a good actress.

The merfolk were easily influenced by emotions, and seeing Yun Qingyi like this, they all felt guilty and embarrassed. Although Liang Wu's words made sense, they really shouldn't have been so obviously on guard right away.

What if what Yiyi and the others said is true? Wouldn't they have hurt the newlyweds' feelings?

The merman who was closer to Yun Qingyi hesitated for a moment, about to say something, when Yun Qingyi changed the subject and looked at everyone with a firm gaze, saying, "We know that if we don't find some evidence about our origins, no one will feel at ease."

Then, she paused for a moment, casually turning her gaze to Ryogo: "Even if everyone feels sorry for me and is willing to believe me unconditionally, without evidence, I am easily subject to criticism from some merfolk."

We've seen everyone's warmth and kindness just now, so we don't want to cause any trouble for you uncles, elders, brothers, and sisters because of our own issues!

Halfway through the conversation, Ryogo felt increasingly uneasy and gritted his teeth, shouting, "What are you saying! Who are you implying!"

After saying this, all the merfolk glared at Liang Wu and said irritably, "Yi Yi is talking, why are you interrupting?"

"Even if Yiyi said that because she cares about us and is afraid of implicating us, if you feel that what she said was directed at you, then scold me. Don't always target her!"

“That’s right. Besides, Yiyi is right too. Everyone knows you’re the best at complaining to the Mermaid King.”

"You guys..." Although Liang Wu was quite skilled with words, he couldn't out-talk so many people, and he was once again choked up by the other merfolk's back-and-forth.

Finally, he looked at Yun Qingyi and sneered, "Hmph! Just you wait and see, a fake is a fake. No matter how eloquently they try to explain, it's still a fake!"

"We'll wait and see!" The merfolk had initially sided with Liang Wu because of his previous words, but after Yun Qingyi's interference, although they still had doubts, their hearts turned back to Yun Qingyi and the others.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi's lips curled slightly, but she quickly regained her serene and obedient demeanor as she watched everyone quiet down.

Then she continued, "Actually, I don't know what the color of a fish tail represents, nor can I distinguish between rare and unusual, but my father and mother's fish tails were indeed this color."

Ha! He's just echoing what he said before, Ryogo sneered inwardly.

He wanted to see what other tricks Liang Yi could come up with.

Of course, Liang Wu genuinely felt that Liang Yi and the others couldn't explain it clearly, since they weren't real merfolk and wouldn't know anything about merfolk.

Yun Qingyi had no idea what Liang Wu was thinking, otherwise she would have chuckled and silently thanked her great master.

It was truly prescient of him to teach her so many strange and wonderful things.

Seeing that the merfolk were listening attentively, Yun Qingyi continued, "Regarding my father and mother's background, I heard from my mother when I was very young that we seemed to belong to another faction of merfolk."

Therefore, the merman named Ryogo just now said that he had never heard of any merman with a rare fish tail leaving the Merman Palace.

It's true that no rare mermaid with a fishtail has ever left the Mermaid Palace, but our parents don't seem to belong to the Mermaid Palace.
