"Mother, what do you mean by that?"
As soon as Jiang Qinshu finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Apart from Grandma Su and Su Yu, everyone else looked curious and puzzled.
It was Su Xuanlang who raised the question. He didn't understand why his mother said it wouldn't be so easy to get his uncle to recognize Su Wanshi as his daughter.
"Isn't Wanshi my eldest uncle's daughter? Why would Mother say that?"
Su Lianwu also asked, puzzled.
Jiang Qinshu looked up and exchanged a glance with Su Yu and Old Madam Su. Knowing that this matter could no longer be kept secret, she took a deep breath and decided to tell the Su Lianwu brothers what had happened.
"Because Wanshi is your younger sister, while the Crown Princess is your uncle's biological daughter. Moreover, the Crown Princess looks about 80% like your aunt. If your uncle comes back and sees her, he will become suspicious."
"What? Mother, are you... are you telling the truth?"
"How could this happen? Mother, what have you done?"
Su Lianwu and Su Xuanlang both looked at Jiang Qinshu in disbelief.
In particular, there was a hint of blame in Su Xuanlang's eyes. He had always thought that Su Liluo was jealous and hateful and unfilial, but he did not expect that his mother was even worse.
They actually switched my uncle's daughter with my own!
This... was something he couldn't accept for a moment.
He grew up reading classic texts and everyone saw him as a gentle and refined person who was well-read and understood the greater good. Naturally, he thought so too, and he had the pride of a scholar deep in his bones.
"Back then, the eldest granddaughter of the main branch was engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince. At that time, the Crown Prince had not yet met with his accident. Naturally, we want your own sister to enjoy such a good thing."
Jiang Qinshu said without the slightest sense of shame.
Su Xuanlang found it unacceptable. He was stunned for a moment, and then began to accuse Jiang Qinshu.
"Mother, what you've done is utterly shameless! No wonder you always looked down on the Crown Princess, so that's how it is! We've all wronged her!"
"What did you say? I'm your mother, how can you talk to me like that?"
Jiang Qin, in a scholarly tone, reprimanded Su Xuanlang.
Su Yu chimed in, "Wasn't all of this for the good of our second branch of the family back then? If your younger sister Wan Shi had married the Crown Prince and become Empress in the future, you would have benefited!"
"Father, you... what are you doing...?"
Su Xuanlang's eyes widened, unable to accept that his parents were such shameless people.
Su Lianwu, on the other hand, remained silent for a long time, unlike Su Xuanlang who was so excited.
He calmly advised Su Xuanlang, "Second brother, now is not the time to dwell on this. We share the same fate, and the Crown Princess is no longer on our side. Why blame yourself?"
In his view, even though his parents' actions back then were shameless, self-interest was the most important thing.
If it were me, I would have made the same choice as my parents back then, especially since the Crown Princess doesn't treat them like brothers anymore.
"No, you can't do this! The Crown Princess is my uncle's daughter! You can't keep lying to her!"
Su Xuanlang said excitedly.
"Second brother, do you want to end up like me, locked up in jail by the Crown Princess? If you don't help us, the Crown Princess will come after you later!"
At this moment, Su Wanshi shouted at Su Xuanlang.
She was really annoyed by Su Xuanlang's feigned kindness at this moment. He had stood up for Su Liluo a lot when she bullied her before, but now he actually felt that they were wrong.
As expected, Su Xuanlang was taken aback by Su Wanshi's shout.
He shuddered involuntarily when he thought of Su Chenfeng, who had been imprisoned because of Su Liluo.
"If you can't accept it, go outside and think about it carefully now."
Jiang Qinshu cursed at Su Xuanlang with exasperation.
Su Xuanlang finally calmed down and angrily ran out of the hall.
Indeed, he is in a state of confusion right now.
On the one hand, she didn't want to accept that they were such despicable people, and on the other hand, she didn't want to suffer as badly as Su Chenfeng.
"Now we should think about how to face Su Zhen and how to tell him about Wan Shi when he comes back."
Jiang Qinshu calmly continued.
"That slut's face is just like the slut Su Zhen married. You can tell just by looking at her. What can we do? Are we going to ruin her face?"
"You tried this before, but did it succeed?"
Grandma Su said irritably.
Now, she's the only one in the entire Su family who's unhappy about Su Zhen's return. She doesn't think Su Zhen's promotion is a good thing; on the contrary, it makes her feel resentful.
She had finally risen from a concubine to become the most honored matriarch of the Su family, but her own son was still inferior to the real Madam Su's son. How could she be happy?
Jiang Qinshu and the others also looked worried and frowned when they thought of Su Liluo's face.
Only Su Wanshi was somewhat anxious. She really wanted to hold onto Su Zhen as her father. Now that her own parents were no longer acceptable, only Su Zhen's status was worthy of being her parents.
She clenched her fists tightly, her mind racing as she tried to think of a solution.
"Did you give up just because you failed to ruin her face last time? If you want Su Zhen to acknowledge Wan Shi as his daughter, the only way is to ruin the Crown Princess's face so that he won't suspect anything."
At this moment, Su Lianwu, who was standing to the side, spoke up in a serious and calm manner.
"Lian Wu, do you have any other good ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinshu looked at Su Lianwu with hopeful eyes.
"You failed last time because you yourselves wanted to take action at the Su residence. The Crown Princess already suspected you. How could you possibly succeed?"
