Hearing these words, Cen was almost driven mad.
The Wei family is a group of wolves with ambitions. Not only did they switch the baby, but they also have grander plans, even wanting to take over the entire Marquis's mansion.
Let alone the fact that Jiang Chengyi is now a fake young master, even without the switch, as the youngest child in the family, the position of Marquis would never have been his.
Moreover, this fake was not a good material at all. The Cen family went to great lengths to invite many famous teachers to tutor him, but they still failed to educate Jiang Chengyi into a talent. He was still neither good at literature nor martial arts.
Such a worthless piece of trash dares to plot to seize the Marquis's mansion. What is the Wei family anyway? At best, they are considered low-ranking members of the elite. With the Wei couple's limited understanding, they will never be able to enter the aristocratic circle in this lifetime. It would be a good thing if they didn't become a burden. It's ridiculous that they even think of helping them.
"Why did Yi-ge faint? Oh dear, Yi-ge has suffered a great shock. What are you all standing there for? Quickly, quickly carry him inside."
Wei Xian was the first to rush over, his face full of heartache, and immediately told the servant to help the person away.
"Slow down, Yi-ge'er is covered in injuries and has fainted. He can't withstand the jostling. If you hurt him, I won't let you off the hook!" Wei Xian stood protectively to the side, his eyes and heart filled with Jiang Chengyi. He kept warning the servants, treating him like a precious treasure.
From beginning to end, he never once looked back at Wei Sheng.
Wei Sheng stood there, staring blankly at his back. He hadn't believed what the system said before, but now he was completely convinced.
This father-son bond is undeniable; when he stands next to Jiang Chengyi, Wei Xian is constantly giving himself away.
Previously, no one had thought of it that way. Everyone misunderstood, thinking that the Wei family was praising Jiang Chengyi so much because they wanted him to be their son-in-law. In reality, he was Wei Xian's biological son.
"Child, are you alright?" Madam Cen stepped forward and asked softly.
Wei Sheng pulled himself out of his complicated emotions and felt a pang of envy when he heard how much Cen Ying cared for him.
He couldn't help but take a step back and quickly shook his head: "I'm fine, but my cousin seems to be seriously injured."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Cen Ying blurted out, "He deserved it!"
Cen Ying coughed lightly. She looked at Wei Sheng silently, her heart filled with a thousand words, yet she didn't know where to begin.
She wanted to ask him how he had been all these years, but felt that the question was unnecessary.
Wei Sheng naturally lived a miserable life of being dependent on others and being suppressed. How could he possibly have a good life? Moreover, every time Cen Ying brought people to the Wei family for a banquet, she could see Wei Sheng being disliked. She couldn't stand up for this child back then, so what right did she have to speak up now?
Wei Sheng clearly didn't know what to say; his mind was in turmoil.
He had no idea where the system came from, who the female voice he heard at the beginning was, or what he should do next—should he leave the Wei family or inform the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness?
But at least one good thing is that it freed him from his predicament.
He no longer needed to feel sad and indignant in the face of his parents' disapproval and suppression. When he was helpless with his writing and Wei Xian berated him, he no longer needed to feel inferior or give up on himself.
He wasn't Wei Xian's son, so he didn't inherit the Wei family's scholarly tradition. It's perfectly normal that he wasn't good at writing.
Furthermore, even if Jiang Chengyi is Wei Xian's own son, under the tutelage of so many renowned teachers, he is only slightly better than Wei Sheng. To think that he could take the imperial examination is simply a pipe dream.
He turned around and walked directly to Xu Wanying and the others, bowing respectfully to the three of them.
"Eldest cousin's wife, third cousin's wife, cousin."
The three immediately returned the greeting, all looking at him with complicated expressions.
Xu Wanying couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Wow, looking at him up close, the young man is indeed quite handsome, much more pleasant to look at than that fake young master. Genetics really do matter."
Wei Sheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He had come to pay his respects specifically to test his third cousin-in-law, and now that he heard these words, his suspicions were confirmed.
It was obvious that something supernatural had fallen on him, rather than on someone else, and he had simply overheard the conversation between that person and the supernatural being.
"Cousin doesn't look well. You should rest more when you get back." Jiang Jinyu kept staring at his face.
The tall, slender young man in front of her was her real brother. They should have been inseparable twins all these years, but everything that her brother should have had was taken away by that fake young master.
In fact, Jiang Chengyi and Wei Sheng do resemble each other somewhat. Their face shape and eyes are similar to those of the Cen family, and they are somewhat handsome. That's why the fake young master has been able to disguise himself so well over the years. Even though the people of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion have all seen Wei Sheng, they have never suspected that this aunt's child is actually a member of the Jiang family.
Wei Sheng's mind wasn't on Jiang Jinyu. Hearing this, he just nodded haphazardly and then asked impatiently, "Does Third Cousin-in-law know when Third Cousin-in-law will be back?"
Xu Wanying shook her head: "I'm sorry, cousin, I don't know. Perhaps you can ask Mother."
Wei Sheng waved his hand, trying hard to suppress his utterly shocked expression.
Although it was the first time he had heard Xu Wanying speak, her voice sounded incredibly familiar, as he had heard it several times before.
The system couldn't contain itself any longer: [Host, what does this young master mean? Why did he specifically come over to talk to you? Could it be that he's taken a liking to you?]
Xu Wanying wanted to roll her eyes right then and there, but with so many people watching, she had to hold back and said irritably, "Shut up. Have you been using your energy to secretly watch some melodramatic TV series lately? Otherwise, why are you spouting this nonsense?"
