The system disagreed, saying: "How can this be called wasteful? It's clearly a necessary expense."
[Pshaw, we already know the outcome, so what does the process matter?]
The system corrected her: "[Who said that? The Jiang family is definitely eager to know what happened, especially the Marquis of Zhongyi and Cen Ying, the couple.]"
Upon hearing this, Madam Cen immediately raised her head to look at Xu Wanying, her eyes resolute, as if she wanted to make her understand her anxious feelings.
Unfortunately, Xu Wanying didn't care at all and retorted indifferently: "I'll write a note tonight telling them the child was switched at birth, and if they want to know the reason, they can find out themselves. This is such a large manor, with so many servants and guards, I refuse to believe they can't find out the reason."
"Hey, you never know. The person who switched the children is very cunning; you'd never guess." The system insisted.
Xu Wanying pouted: "Then let's wait and see. We'll see what happens if we can't find out."
She gradually walked away, and the sounds of her argument with the system became indistinct. Cen stood there, unable to help but regret her actions. She wanted to chase after her, but had no reason to.
"Mother, why didn't you stop your sister-in-law?" Li Chunlan asked with a mournful face.
"What's with that expression? How can I stop her? We don't even know the baby was switched at birth. What's the point of stopping her?" Madam Cen was racking her brains over the matter of the real and fake young master when she looked up and saw her mother's grief-stricken expression, and she was immediately shocked.
Li Chunlan hesitated for a moment before remembering the important matter at hand.
"Just now, Shenqi told my third brother and sister-in-law that the future Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion is Jiang Chengyi. This is absolutely terrifying. It proves that Chengzhong and Chengli may have met with misfortune. Otherwise, how could it be that a good-for-nothing like him was chosen!"
Li Chunlan clearly hated her brother-in-law intensely. Originally, he was a fake, and she thought it was just a show and wouldn't affect her at all, since it didn't involve her interests.
But now that this fake has become the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, what has the main branch of the family been doing? Even if Jiang Chengzong is gone, there is still Pan Ge'er. Surely the family won't be destroyed.
Thinking about this made her face even more crestfallen.
Upon hearing this, Cen Ying felt a headache coming on.
“What are you afraid of? The artifact only speaks of possible outcomes. Before things happen, everything can be changed. Now that the imposter’s identity has been exposed, even if this Marquis’s mansion is burned down and sold, it won’t benefit those beasts in the Wei family.” Cen’s words were tinged with resentment, clearly showing her extreme hatred.
"Really? But everything the artifact said before has come true." Li Chunlan clearly didn't believe it.
Madam Cen said with exasperation, "How come everything has come true? Your son Pan hasn't become a eunuch yet, so it doesn't count as a prophecy. Alright, stop looking so gloomy and hurry back to your room. I'm very busy!"
Her words immediately silenced Li Chunlan. Indeed, Qi Shen had predicted that Pan Ge'er would become a eunuch, and that Pan Ge'er's tragic fate began with breaking the Sixth Prince's leg.
But now the Sixth Prince is still doing well, and Pan Ge'er is more diligent and sensible than before, far removed from the fate of becoming a eunuch.
