Soon, only Madam Hu, Jiang Wan'er, and Su Wanwan remained in the large house.

The three men's personal maids had already retreated when they sensed something was wrong.

The maids dared not look at the things their masters kept secret.

Su Wanwan glanced at Jiang Wan'er kneeling on the ground and saw that the other woman still had a smile on her lips and her eyes were full of joy.

Tsk tsk, is Jiang Wan'er some kind of naive and innocent girl?

She was still immersed in the joy that Su Mu would no longer keep her, this fake heiress, in the mansion, and was completely unaware that Su Mu also disliked her.

hehe.

However, to be fair, the performance just now was truly spectacular.

Even in modern times, no domestic drama could produce such a brilliant and unparalleled domestic power struggle.

Tsk, this trip was definitely worth it!

Su Wanwan put on an angry expression, walked over slowly, helped Hu Shi up, and helped her to the daybed.

“Mother, look at Aunt Chen’s smug look. Who would believe she didn’t do this? She’s just a concubine, yet she’s so arrogant and doesn’t respect you, the mistress of the house, at all!”

As the mistress of this household, you manage all the affairs, big and small, in your daily life. You deserve credit for your hard work, even if you haven't achieved anything great. Yet she is so ungrateful, constantly mocking and targeting your mother, relentlessly stabbing her in the heart. Even her daughter feels sorry for her mother.

Aunt Chen is so disrespectful; if we don't teach her a lesson, she might start defecating on Mother's head one day! And Aunt Zhang and Aunt Pan, those two aren't any better!"

"Bang!" Madam Hu slammed her hand on the table. She glared viciously at the doorway. "Those wretched women, just you wait! I'll make sure they pay!"

After successfully adding fuel to the fire of anger, Su Wanwan found an excuse and left Hu's courtyard.

After leaving Hu's courtyard, Su Mu angrily returned to his own courtyard.

"Go, summon the bronze pillar and the iron pillar to my study," Su Mu ordered a servant.

"Yes, General." The servant dashed out and quickly disappeared from sight.

After returning to his study, Su Mu's anger subsided considerably, replaced by anxiety.

He was now somewhat undecided about Su Wanwan's whereabouts.

At first, he was determined to keep Su Wanwan in the manor. After all, ever since he took Su Wanwan in, everything that had been going wrong in the past had gone smoothly.

His promotion and the continuation of the Su family line were both things that came about after he had Su Wanwan.

Now, that wicked woman Hu has actually spread this matter around! Making him a huge laughing stock in the entire capital.

He was filled with remorse. If only he had blamed Su Wanwan's biological mother for the children being switched at birth. Why had he told that wicked woman about the bald-headed monk's divination?!

The best way to stop and dispel the rumors now is to send Su Wanwan back to her biological parents. As long as Su Wanwan continues to rise through the ranks or remains a high-ranking general after leaving the General's Mansion, the rumors will dissipate without a fight.

But what if his good fortune really was brought to him by Su Wanwan after he sent her back to the countryside? With Su Wanwan not in the mansion, will this cause a lot of misfortune, and in the end, he might even lose his official position?

Su Mu's head was about to explode when he thought about this.

This won't work, that won't work either.

This is all that wicked woman, Hu's, fault!

If it weren't for her, why would he be so distressed?

snort!
