After a few moments of thought, Ms. Hu began to imagine the whole story.
Wan'er must have deliberately pushed her and Zhang Xijun into the water in order to attract the gentlemen drinking tea in the front hall and thus reveal that she was the real sixth young lady of the General's Mansion.
Only in this way could her husband, under pressure from public opinion, allow her to return and acknowledge her ancestors.
Ha, what a brilliant tactic!
Wan'er didn't even care about her own mother's life in order to stay in the General's Mansion. She's a heartless and rotten thing!
This even caused her husband to despise her!
Okay, very good!
It seems this daughter is an ungrateful wretch who can never be raised properly!
Hu tightened her grip on her skirt and clenched her teeth.

After leaving Madam Hu's courtyard, Su Wanwan was not in a hurry to return to her own courtyard. Instead, she followed the memories in her mind and strolled to Aunt Chen's courtyard.
Aunt Chen gave birth to Su Mu's eldest son, who was the seventh child in the family. This son was born the year after the original owner of this body was adopted by Madam Hu.
From then on, Aunt Chen's status in the household rose dramatically, almost becoming equal to that of Madam Hu, the matriarch.
If it weren't for Madam Hu's fuss, Aunt Chen would have been elevated to the status of a secondary wife by Su Mu long ago.
It was precisely because of this that Aunt Chen and Madam Hu disliked each other and secretly competed with each other.
Upon hearing Madam Hu say that Jiang Wan'er, who had just returned to the mansion, could give birth to a son, Aunt Chen's alarm bells rang loudly, fearing that the son Madam Hu gave birth to would threaten her son's position in the mansion.
Upon hearing the maid's report, Aunt Chen hurriedly went out to greet her.
She swayed her hips and walked gracefully toward Su Wanwan, saying with a smile, "Hehehe, Wanwan, you've finally come to see your aunt. Your aunt has been looking forward to it day and night, hoping you'd come to have tea and chat with your second sister."
Seeing Aunt Chen's stunning beauty, Su Wanwan sighed inwardly.
No wonder Aunt Chen was favored.
Not only is she well-maintained, but she also has a great figure.
Most importantly, she has a sweet tongue, knows how to talk, and knows how to please people.
She is nothing like the powerful Hu family.
Su Wanwan pretended to laugh, covering her mouth with her handkerchief. "Hehehe, look at me, I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to come and play with my aunt and second sister. I really deserve a beating."
"No need for a beating, but a few cups of tea as punishment are fine. Hehehe~~" Aunt Chen giggled, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.
"That would be wonderful. Since Auntie is favored by Father, she must have plenty of good tea here. I should drink a few more cups every night and bask in her favor."
Hearing Su Wanwan say that she was favored by the emperor, Aunt Chen felt a surge of satisfaction. She affectionately took Su Wanwan's arm, "Come on, come on, come in and have some tea."
The two of them went into Aunt Chen's room together.
"Plum Blossom, quickly brew a pot of Zisun tea," Aunt Chen instructed her personal maid.
"Yes, Aunt."
Miss Su Er came out from the inner room and looked at Su Wanwan triumphantly, "Sixth sister, this is Zisun tea that Father gave to Mother. There are only two cans in the General's Mansion. Mother took one can, and Father personally brought the other can to give to my aunt."
As she spoke, she slightly raised her chin, looking at Su Wanwan with a haughty expression.
That smug little look seemed to say, "Not only are you favored, but we are also very favored!"
"Hehehe, Father really does dote on Aunt, my sister and brother." Su Wanwan chuckled softly. "This time, I'll have to benefit from Aunt, my second sister and my seventh brother's influence."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Meihua brought up the freshly brewed tea.
"Hehehe, Auntie has nothing here, but there's plenty of tea!" With that, Auntie Chen personally poured Su Wanwan a cup of tea. "Come, come, Wanwan, come and try this Zisun tea."
Su Wanwan gently picked up the teacup, sniffed it, glanced at the tea, and then brought it to her lips, taking a small sip.
She smiled brightly and praised, "The tea is fragrant, the tea soup is clear and bright, with a lovely emerald green color. It is refreshing yet mellow on the palate. It is indeed a good tea!"
"Hehehe~~" Aunt Chen covered her mouth and chuckled, "If Wanwan likes to drink, she can have as many cups as she wants, Auntie will make sure she has enough!"
Su Er also picked up her teacup and took a sip. She said proudly, "Of course it's delicious! This is tea bestowed by the emperor!"
