Well, everyone has secrets. I don't want to choose anyone anymore. Of these people, whoever has the biggest scandal left, just tell me that one! Preferably one that's far-reaching and involves a lot of drama.
Let's not talk about who died from conspiracy or trickery; I don't like hearing about it, it's pointless.
After a moment, Xu Wanying spoke, clearly after careful consideration.
After these words were spoken, the Jiang family members also became curious about who among them was hiding the biggest secret.
The crowd couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes darting around as they speculated among themselves.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid drumbeats rang out, clearly background noise from the system, creating a very tense atmosphere.
[Wow, system, I didn't know you had this project. Looks like it's going to be a big scoop. I'm really looking forward to it. If the final scoop isn't as good as the music, you might as well shut up!]
Xu Wanying was also somewhat surprised and couldn't help but clap her hands enthusiastically.
The moment the music stopped, the system spoke: [Jiang Chengyi is not your father-in-law's child.]
The room fell into a deathly silence. Even Xu Wanying was stunned, and for a moment no one could react.
"impossible!"
Cen was the first to jump out. Even though she prided herself on her good manners and ability to remain calm in the face of any situation, she could no longer hold back upon hearing this news.
Xu Wanying, who was engrossed in this shocking revelation, was startled by her mother-in-law's sudden shout and immediately stared wide-eyed at her.
"Mother, what's wrong?" she asked softly, as if afraid that something might have happened to Cen Shi.
[System, why did Cen suddenly jump up? Could she have overheard our conversation?]
The Jiang family members immediately looked at Cen Shi with condemnation, but Cen Shi glared back at them one by one. The Jiang family members immediately looked away, except for Li Chunlan, who still stood up straight and insisted on glaring.
My mother-in-law, who always strives for perfection, actually made such a basic mistake. She has to catch her doing this, otherwise, who knows when she'll be able to find fault with her again.
Marquis Zhongyi raised his hand and slapped Pighead Three on the back of the neck, angrily scolding, "Your mother has been so good to you. She visited the thatched cottage three times to find a great Confucian scholar to be your teacher, and the gifts for your apprenticeship were piled up by the cartload. She was afraid you wouldn't understand the principles, so she taught you etiquette and manners every day, hoping you would become a refined gentleman. Is this how you repay her?"
“Look at her, she doesn’t believe you’ll be spoiled at all. She has no backbone of the Jiang family at all. It’s heartbreaking.”
His words helped to extricate Cen from her predicament.
Cen looked back at him, never expecting that the Marquis of Zhongyi would speak up for her at this time.
You should know that everything the system says has been verified; there has never been a lie. This time it is obviously true as well.
Jiang Chengyi wasn't his child, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he helped her get out of trouble immediately.
But before she could be fully moved, the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness had already turned his head and looked at her.
The man's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with utter coldness and murderous intent. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fingers were gripping the armrests of the chair so tightly that they looked like they were about to crush them.
Even though he didn't say a word, Cen understood what he meant.
This isn't over yet. Once we leave Qingxi Pavilion, I'll definitely make her pay.
The other members of the Jiang family also had different expressions. Jiang Chengzong saw the undercurrents between his parents and couldn't help but feel despair.
It seems now that my parents' divorce is a done deal.
Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't stop it.
If Mother really did something to wrong Father, given the stubbornness of the Marquis of Loyalty, he probably wouldn't let it go easily, and it would be impossible to end things peacefully.
Jiang Jinyu's face turned deathly pale. If her brother wasn't her father's child, then what about her?
The system promptly replied: "No, our security measures are top-notch. Our conversations with the host are known only to heaven, earth, you, and me; no third party can know."
Xu Wanying was clearly relieved, and her attention returned to the melon itself.
Good heavens, Jiang Chengyi isn't even a member of the Jiang family. No wonder he could do such despicable things as torturing animals and stealing his sister's belongings. I knew it! No matter how much of a lecherous old man the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness is, he wouldn't stoop to coveting his own sister; at most, he'd be eyeing his wife's sister.
[Hmm, now that you mention it, it's not much better. What kind of inferior genes are these?]
A hint of unease flashed across the Marquis of Loyalty's face. Shouldn't they be condemning Cen Ying for her indiscretions at a time like this? Why are they blaming him instead?
Jiang Chengyi wasn't his child; she must be an illegitimate child born from Cen Ying's affair with another man.
As he thought about it, he glanced at Jiang Chengyi and sneered repeatedly. All the men in the Jiang family were tall, no wonder only the fourth son was short. It turned out he was the wrong kind of person.
Xu Wanying quickly realized the key point: [Wait, Jiang Chengyi and Jiang Jinyu are twins, so Jiang Jinyu isn't her father-in-law's child either?]
The system quickly denied it: "[No, Jiang Jinyu is the biological son of the Marquis of Zhongyi.]"
【ah? 】
This time, not only Xu Wanying was puzzled, but the Jiang family was also full of questions. Everyone's eyes swirled between the two of them, unable to understand how two children born in the same pregnancy could have different fathers.
Is that even possible? This time, the artifact must have made a mistake!
Only Jiang Jinyu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.
I understand now. I saw a news report before about a mother who gave birth to twins, but the twins had two different fathers. It turned out that the mother had had sex with two different men in quick succession.
Before the system could provide an answer, Xu Wanying had already started guessing wildly.
