Jiang Mianmian looked at Shen Xiuyan and complained in her heart, "Humph! Look, look! The fox's tail is exposed!"
[This is the woman you loved back then. Back then, you said her talent and beauty complemented each other perfectly, like pearls and jade, a perfect match. Just thinking about her made you want to "date" her.]
[Look, look, who would believe there wasn't something fishy going on here? It's like a louse on a bald head—an obvious plot?]
[Chen Xiuyan, if you still believe in and favor your white moonlight, I will get a hammer and smash his head hard to see if it is filled with love brains.]
Jiang Mianmian held her little granddaughter who was sleeping soundly in her arms: [Oh, my dear, your father is a bastard. If he doesn't make the decision for you, we don't want him anymore.]
[Now, I am determined to live to the end of my life, and then watch how this family of bastards commits suicide.
Now, I don’t care about anyone else, I only care about my little darling, and the rest of the Shen family don’t care about their life or death.
The corners of Shen Xiuyan's mouth twitched. "My mother? How did I offend you? Besides, don't forget that you are also a member of the Shen family."
Moreover, let me say the most important thing three times: the child in your arms is my daughter first, and only secondly, she is your granddaughter. Aren’t you putting the cart before the horse?
Also, why was he so unworthy of Jiang Mianmian's trust? He, Shen Xiuyan, was at least a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. He had been in the officialdom for many years, but he couldn't understand such a small matter. He had lived for thirty years in vain.
What's more, although Jiang Mianmian is not his biological mother, she has never harmed him over the years.
Moreover, as long as Jiang Mianmian's biological son has something, she has never lacked it. He is quite grateful to her!
He knew Jiang Mianmian's personality and she was not the kind of person who would arbitrarily accuse others without any evidence.
There must be some special reason for her to say this. It's like... he can now hear Jiang Mianmian's "inner voice".
Shen Xiuyan is now very sure that what he can hear is Jiang Mianmian's "inner voice".
The other people in the yard seemed not to hear it, and he had no intention of telling anyone about this matter, let alone telling Jiang Mianmian. He didn't even know how to bring it up!
It’s like, it’s like... God suddenly gave Jiang Mianmian a... golden finger. Yes, yes, yes, the storybook calls this special ability the "golden finger".
Today he also heard that his mother actually cared about him so much, which further eased the mother-son relationship between them.
"Mother, don't worry! I will have someone continue to investigate this matter. After all, this is my biological daughter. How could I let her get hurt?
I will definitely not let anyone switch my daughter. She is my biological daughter, I am not stupid, right?
Jiang Mianmian stared at Chen Xiuyan for a moment, but didn't believe his words at all. She said, "Chen Xiuyan, you'd better do what you say. If I find out that you let me go, you'll see how I punish you. You can forget about Le'an."
The corners of Shen Xiuyan's lips curled up: "Mother, if you like Le'an, then let Le'an follow you in the future. I will definitely not have any objections."
Hey, it's just a good opportunity for him to spend some time alone with his wife.
Since getting married, his wife has been giving birth to children non-stop and has been taking care of them every day. The two of them haven't been alone together for a long time!
Now, the four sons have gone out with the fourth brother, otherwise he would not have had time to accompany his wife to Xuanji Temple to burn incense today.
Jiang Mianmian was so happy when she heard that Shen Yanxiu approved of the name she had chosen for her granddaughter. This was her granddaughter's name in her previous life. It was too ugly to give birth to a boy.
After the little granddaughter returned to the Shen family, she was named Shen Baozhu, which meant that she was treated like a treasure by the whole family. It was a good thing, but things did not go as planned. No one treated her as well as her name suggested.
But they all treat that fake daughter like a treasure, huh, they are all a bunch of bastards!
In this life, Jiang Mianmian no longer wants her granddaughter to use her past life's name. Le'an, Le'an, means that she can live a happy life, auspicious and happy, and comfortable. This is her blessing for her little granddaughter!
Jiang Mianmian said with a smile: "Little Le'an, Little Le'an, grandma's Little Le'an, did you hear that?"
At this moment, Xiao Le'an, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly smiled, as if responding to Jiang Mianmian's words.

Shen Feng came back with the results of the investigation, but it was exactly as his mother said.
Han Lanjiao is no longer the person she knew back then. After more than ten years of beatings in the harem, she has become completely different from her original self.
Shen Xiuyan's eyes flashed, he looked out the window, and whispered a few words to Shen Feng.
Half an hour later, Chen Feng and a few others captured Ma Lingshu, the little nun from Xuanji Temple, and Shaoyao, the maidservant beside Li Tingxue.
Ma Lingshu refused to admit it at first, until Chen Xiuyan blocked Shaoyao's mouth and beat her with a stick in front of them, until she was only breathing her last breath. The teenage nun from Xuanji Temple was so scared that she peed her pants.
She immediately knelt down and cried for mercy, and after she confessed everything she knew, Shen Xiuyan directly said that he would send them to the Dali Temple.
Ma Lingshu was really scared now. If she went to the Dali Temple, it would undoubtedly ruin her family's reputation, and then death would be the only way waiting for her. She cried and confessed the whole truth.
Not long after Han Lanjiao married Prince Shuo, Prince Shuo revealed his true colors: he was narrow-minded, had a bad temper, and often beat her.
She wanted to divorce, but the Han family relied on the power of Anyang Palace to climb up the ladder, so they would never allow her to divorce the Prince of Heshuo.
So, when Han Lanjiao heard that Shen Xiuyan got married and was loving and considerate to his wife, she regretted it and looked forward to a divorce every day. Later, her longing and regret slowly turned into hatred.
Han Lanjiao returned to the capital under the pretext of visiting her seriously ill grandmother. She inquired about the Shen family and learned that Li Tingxue hoped to have a daughter.
Then, she found a lot of little beggars and spread the news that Xuanji Temple was very effective in praying for a daughter.
He also bribed Shaoyao, the maidservant beside Li Tingxue, and from time to time, he told Li Tingxue that burning incense at Xuanji Temple to pray for a girl was very effective.
Li Tingxue had already given birth to four sons and really wanted a daughter, so she was really tempted.
After receiving Shaoyao's reply, Han Lanjiao came to the nunnery quietly a day in advance and arranged everything. However, she did not expect that she would have a seizure and give birth to a child a day in advance, and it was indeed a girl.
Ma Lingshu had already bribed the little nun next to Master Jingci, and under the pretext of praying for little Le'an, she secretly teamed up with Li Tingxue's maid to secretly replace the child when the time came!
