Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. There was probably no other family as wealthy as the Jiang family in the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the richest man in the Great Yan Kingdom.

But Jiang Yuchen's tone revealed obvious disappointment, as if...

Just as Shen Yuan was about to speak, she bumped into a gorgeous woman surrounded by seven or eight maids and nannies.

The woman was nearly forty years old, with a beautiful and dignified appearance.

Jiang Yuchen saw her and called out, "Mother! You're back?"

Shen Yuan bowed respectfully: "Madam Jiang!"

"I heard from the servants that a beautiful young lady, as lovely as a fairy, had come to the manor, so I rushed back!"

Madam Jiang's gaze fell on Shen Yuan, and she said with extreme gentleness, "You must be the Miss Shen that Chenchen has been talking about all this time! So capable at such a young age, and so beautiful too. No wonder Chenchen keeps praising you!"

"Mother!" Jiang Yuchen tugged at Madam Jiang's sleeve somewhat awkwardly, "Please stop talking!"

Madam Jiang pointed at Jiang Yuchen and said to Shen Yuan with a smile, "Look! He's getting embarrassed!"

"Mother, I can't talk to you anymore, I need to hurry and take Yuan-jie home!"

Jiang Yuchen grabbed Shen Yuan's sleeve and hurried away.

Madam Jiang didn't stop her, but just smiled and told Shen Yuan, "Miss Shen, come visit often when you have time!"

After leaving the Jiang family, Shen Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Is your mother Xiao Ling's second aunt or third aunt?"

Jiang Yuchen replied, "My mother is the eldest in her maternal family, and she is also Xiao Ling's aunt."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan froze on the spot.

She heard from the people of Jinling that the one sent to the palace as a concubine was clearly the eldest daughter of the Su family.

How could this young lady be Jiang Yuchen's mother?
