As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and slammed the swaddled baby she was holding into her arms at her!

"ah--"

Thinking that it was for a dead child, Jiang Wan's scream suddenly caught in her throat, her eyes rolled back, and she completely fainted.

Seeing this, Wei Yueru stepped forward and checked her breathing. Her first words were in a man's voice: "She's fainted."

After he finished speaking, several figures emerged one after another from behind the dark curtains.

The first to rush out was Marquis Wu'an.

He had his fists raised, clearly intending to take Jiang Wan's life!

At the critical moment, it was Lady Hou who stopped him and ordered the guards, "Take the man away first."

Upon hearing this, before the guards in the Marquis's mansion could make a move, Chu Si took out a sack, put the person inside, and just like when he came, carried the person on his back and out of the house.

Shen Qiyin said to the third child, who was dressed as Wei Yueru, "Change your clothes first."

Last night, she had Chu Si dress up as Shen Guangzong to see if Jiang Wan believed in ghosts and gods, and whether he would reveal the truth about the bad things he had done in the past.

If she could even fool ghosts, then she wouldn't have bothered with all this fuss.

Fortunately, she wasn't as capable as she thought.

Xianglan, on the other hand, impressed her even more.

She hadn't originally planned to bring her to the Marquis's residence, but after the latter learned of this, she volunteered to try and get information out of Jiang Wan.

She said, "Miss, you don't know, I used to be a beast of burden for people. Who ever treated me like a human being? So I have experience being a ghost."

"You can't ask what a ghost wants to know. You have to rely on your own aura to scare her into revealing it on her own!"

Now it seems that her attempt at this scheme was incredibly successful.

Shen Qiyin poured her a cup of tea: "To soothe your throat."

"Hehe, thank you, Miss!"

Today, apart from Old Madam Wei, all the other officials in charge of the Marquis's residence were eliminated.

Shen Qiyin thought that since the old lady was getting on in years, she was unsure what truth Jiang Wan would reveal and feared that the old lady might not be able to bear it, so she decided to keep it from her for the time being.

As for whether or not to tell him afterwards, and how to tell him, that's up to the Marquis.

At this moment, Ruan Xinghu suddenly spoke up: "That person just now said that the Han family mentioned in their letter that the child has a red mole on his wrist, so I suspect they have a way to fake it."

"But when Grandmother rushed to the Han family, the baby's body was not there. Why was that?"

Shen Qiyin was not sure about this either.

She shook her head and said, "Maybe the mole was removed, but for some reason the color faded, or maybe they didn't even have time to do it before the fire started."

After all these years, all the people involved are no longer here. She can only try her best to reconstruct the general outline of the events, but she is powerless to reconstruct the details.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuan couldn't help but scoff, "Tch, after all this time, we still haven't figured it out. What a waste of effort!"

Shen Xiyin: "Young Master, you make sarcastic remarks with ease. I have a lot to learn from you."

"you……"

Before Wei Xuan could say anything more, Marquis Wu'an suddenly kicked him!

"Shut up, you little hole under your nose!"

"father?"

"Don't call me dad! Don't drag me into this mess!" Marquis Wu'an was already seething with anger, and now he stepped in: "You can be brainless, but you can't be heartless, can you?"

The young girl has been busy trying to comfort the old lady. Even if she hadn't found anything, let alone discovered so much, they would still have to thank her.

Wei Xuan understood what Marquis Wu'an meant, but still couldn't help but retort, "Father, one should always be wary of others. How do you know that she did so much just for Grandmother?"

"I think she's only after her junior brother!"

"Perhaps this is a setup they orchestrated to impersonate my aunt's child from back then, so they can enjoy wealth and luxury."

Sanwa returned after changing his clothes and tying his hair up, just in time to hear those words.

He stood in the shadows, where the candlelight couldn't reach.

It was cold and desolate.

He didn't say a word, but for some reason, it made people feel like everyone had wronged him.

Marquis Wu'an was already filled with remorse because of Wei Yueru's death, always feeling that he, as her older brother, had failed to protect her and caused her to lose her life.

The third child's face is exactly the same as Wei Yueru's!

Now that he has seen him, it is not just the affection of an uncle for his nephew, but also the projection of his guilt towards his sister onto him. How could he bear to hear anyone say a bad word about him?

Even if that person is his own son.

Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward, patted Sanwa's head, and comforted him, saying, "Listen to your uncle, this is your home. From now on, you are the young master of my Marquis's mansion. Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense."

"By the way, from now on we'll each call each other by our own names. You can call me Uncle, and he can call you whatever he wants. If he's really annoying, we can just pretend he doesn't exist."

Wei Xuan nearly jumped up in anger.

Finally, it was Madam Hou who stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Ah Xuan, I know you don't want your grandmother to be disappointed, but think about it carefully. The information brought by the divine physician was all investigated by the Thousand Eagle Guards. How could it be false?"

"And that tomb raider, he didn't know Jiang Wan, but their stories matched up. If he was instigated, how could he lie in a place like Qiying Pavilion?"

"Not to mention, what kind of relationship does Hanyu have with our household? We wouldn't treat this lightly!"

Lady Hou's words were all to the point, and since Wei Xuan had always respected her, he finally shut his mouth and stopped "making a fool of himself."
