Zhou Yunshen paused holding the teacup and glanced at Jiang Mu's face.
He had seen many intrigues in the inner courtyard of a mansion, but this was the first time he had seen someone lose their own daughter and replace her with a fake one.
There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and you can only see them if you live long enough.
Jiang Shuyue was also very curious: [Why did he do this? Am I not his biological child? Is my mother having an affair?]
Mother Jiang wanted to slap her own daughter on the forehead.
What do you mean she's having an affair? She's a lady from a prestigious family, how could she possibly do something so ridiculous!
The system sighed: [No! Not only that, but she is a strict adherent of the rules, supporting her husband and raising her children, and always striving to be a role model.]
[What a pity, this is exactly what your father hates about her.]
[It's uninteresting, uninteresting, and tasteless. He even thinks your mother looks down on him, which is why he set so many clauses.]
[So, your father redeemed a prostitute, and then...]
The system chuckled, and Jiang Shuyue understood.
Jiang Shuyue: [I know that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild ones! Men, after all, are animals who can't control their lower bodies!]
Zhou Yunshen: ...
I felt inexplicably implicated, and a nameless anger began to rise in my heart.
System: [When your mother was pregnant, that woman was also pregnant. You and Jiang Liuli were born only one hour apart. In fact, you are the younger sister. Do you remember the divination of the Imperial Master?]
Jiang Shuyue nodded: [One is a girl of destiny, reincarnated with good fortune, and the other is a star of misfortune, whoever comes into contact with her will suffer misfortune.]
System: [That's right! After you two were born, your father was implicated and sent to the frontier. After that woman cried and made a scene, they all felt that you were hindering his career. Furthermore, your mother was not favored, and he felt that your mother was using her family's power to look down on him and suppress him, so they decided to do whatever it took to replace you.]
[Oh, actually, after the change, they wanted to kill you, but they saw that you were well-behaved and tender-skinned, and thought you would fetch a good price when you grew up, so they secretly spared your life.]
【Want to know who took you away? 】
Jiang Shuyue originally wanted to say no, but after seeing the look in the system's eyes, she realized that if she didn't let him say it, it would probably suffocate the child.
Jiang Shuyue: [Who is it? Could it be Jiang Liuli's biological brother?]
System: [She is an only child and has no brothers, but she still has a father!]
Jiang Shuyue was a little confused.
System: [Jiang An thought the child was his, but in reality, Jiang Liuli's biological father was a salted fish seller! Her biological mother lied about being pregnant with Jiang An's child in order to curry favor with the powerful. The person responsible for killing you is her biological father, the man you used to call "Dad."]
The relationship is a bit messy.
Jiang Shuyue was silent for a long time, and then a thunderous laugh broke out in her heart.
Jiang Shuyue: [Hahaha, so melodramatic! Rich families are full of melodrama, the novels really don't lie to me!]
Jiang's mother's face was extremely pale, and her eyes were full of fire when she looked at Jiang Shuyue.
She was so devastated, yet her own daughter could actually laugh!
Jiang Shuyue: [What happened next? Was there anything even more outrageous?]
System: [Yes! Your father arranged for Jiang Liuli to come in, firstly to give her a good life and replace your identity, and secondly, for the Jiang family's wealth.]
[As everyone knows, your father is a son-in-law. Even if he climbed to a high position, it was thanks to the support of your mother's family. Your eldest brother was raised by your grandfather, so he is difficult to control.]
[Although your second brother has been spoiled by him, he is still a decent person at heart and will not go along with his corrupt ways. Only Jiang Liuli is on the same page with him.]
Jiang Shuyue: [So he brought Jiang Liuli in, slowly chipping away at the Jiang family, trying to take over. Let me tell you a secret: before long, that brothel mistress will move in as his cousin.]
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Jiang's mother believed that Jiang An was cheating on her husband and was looking for someone else, and she could also believe that he was trying to switch the man's wife with another man, but she didn't believe that Jiang An had the courage to bring someone in so blatantly.
Zhou Yunshen believed it without a doubt.
Jiang An was a hypocritical, cunning, and greedy person. As a member of the Ministry of Rites, he repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue, and even made his own disciples scapegoats.
Such people will be a disaster if they stay.
The servants brought the food over, and Jiang Liuli immediately picked up a chicken wing for Zhou Yunshen: "My Lord, this is the specialty of the chef in the mansion, please try it."
"I don't like eating chicken."
Zhou Yunshen pushed the bowl aside in disgust, and Qiye immediately replaced it with new bowls and chopsticks for him.
Jiang Liuli was embarrassed, and when she saw Jiang Shuyue laughing beside her, she gritted her teeth in anger and spoke sarcastically.
"I was inconsiderate, but my sister is really something. She knew that my brother-in-law didn't like chicken wings, so why didn't she tell me in advance? If outsiders knew about it, how would they view our Jiang family?"
Jiang Shuyue said softly, "But I love to eat it, Lord Marquis, you don't mind, right?"
"No problem."
Zhou Yunshen picked up a chicken wing for her. Seeing her eating like a squirrel, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Jiang Shuyue spat out two bones from her mouth: "My husband's chicken wings are so delicious!"
"Eat more if you like."
Zhou Yunshen kept picking up food for her, and they were all her favorite meat dishes.
Jiang Liuli felt more and more unhappy.
The man she dumped was so handsome and gentle, and she gave him to Jiang Shuyue, a loser. How could she swallow this?
When Jiang Liuli saw him take a bite of shrimp, she quickly picked up one for Zhou Yunshen with her chopsticks.
Before the food was even put into the bowl, Jiang Shuyue whined, "Sister, there's saliva on your chopsticks. It's not good to pick up food for others, right?"
"Although you are not my biological child, you grew up here after all. If others saw you, they would probably mock the Jiang family for being uneducated."
"Besides, he is your brother-in-law, so you still have to avoid suspicion."
Jiang Liuli's face turned pale, and she looked at Zhou Yunshen pitifully: "I was negligent, I hope the Marquis will punish me."
"Well, then I'll punish you and ask you to leave. Come back in and clean up after we finish eating."
What? Ask her to leave? And ask her to clean the table?
Jiang Liuli couldn't believe her ears.
She was raised in pampered condition and had never suffered such injustice.
Besides, usually when people see her looking aggrieved, they will come to comfort her and be coaxed by her.
Why did Zhou Yunshen react like this?
Jiang Liuli's eyes turned a little redder and she looked at Zhou Yunshen like a rabbit.
Jiang Shuyue: "Hey, sister, why are your eyes red? Is it because of the fumes? You'd better leave the table immediately. Be careful not to get pink eye. You will be the one who suffers."
Bullshit, how could cooked food produce fumes?
"mother……"
Mother Jiang used to love this daughter the most.
But now, when she saw Jiang Liuli, she would think of Jiang An's betrayal, and a ball of anger would surge in her heart.
"Liuli, today is the day your sister and brother-in-law come home. Be sensible and go down first."
