In Gu Jiangli's view, whether it was the second young master's care for his family or the fake son's love for his studies, it was all just an act for the old city lord.
However, the original owner of this body couldn't see through it. She was so engrossed in it that she was deeply immersed in the dream of a perfect family, completely unaware of the conspiracy that was brewing.
The news that "the second young master's son is not his biological son" began to spread in the city lord's mansion at some point.
People were whispering and gossiping about it.
After hearing these rumors, her adopted son immediately went to confront the original owner of the body.
He cursed the original owner, calling her shameless and a lowly woman, leaving her speechless.
From that day on, those who gossiped in the city lord's mansion began to die mysteriously one after another.
It seems that this was the only way he could think of to silence Youyou's gruff tongue.
Not long after, he found his biological mother and took her life with his own hands.

With such a strong sense of hostility, he was born a bad seed.
【Honey, alright. I'll teleport you back right away while you're still alive. Sorry for the mistake, I'll make it up to you later. Just think of it as a second chance at life~】
"...Haha, thank you haha."
Her body felt light and airy again, and the familiar dizziness returned.
"Seriously, is this second young master such a scoundrel even worthy of having a son? Does he even deserve it?"
Of course he doesn't deserve it.
"ah?"
[Because your mission target is the eldest young master~ Oh, by the way, just a friendly reminder, this eldest young master is actually quite different from the one in the original owner's memories, so please be careful.]
