He shouldn't have let Jiang Wan'er return to the General's Mansion!
Su Mu was so regretful he was practically green with envy!
He originally did not want to acknowledge Jiang Wan'er, but Madam Hu kept crying and sobbing beside him, saying that her own daughter was raised in the countryside, while the lowly girl in the countryside could be a young lady in the mansion, enjoying wealth and luxury. She said that both her daughter and she were pitiful people.
Su Mu was annoyed by the crying, but after looking at Jiang Wan'er, whose features were still quite pretty, he decided to stay.
Multiple daughters, multiple paths.
If he raises her for another two or three years, he can marry Jiang Wan'er off and consolidate his position in the court.
He will then marry his daughters to noble families in the capital. Then who will dare to look down on him and say that he is illiterate and a country bumpkin?
Right now, Su Mu really wants to slap himself a few times.
It's all my fault for being bewitched!
Fortunately, the crown prince left early. He didn't see this terrible situation.
Before Jiang Wan'er could even speak in her defense, Su Wanwan spoke first, her finger trembling as she pointed at Jiang Wan'er and sobbed, "Father, waah, it's Wan'er! She not only pushed Sister Xijun into the lake, but she also pushed Mother into the lake!"
Jiang Wan'er was very anxious. She wanted to explain, but her cheeks were swollen and red, making it difficult for her to speak clearly.
"It's not oily, it doesn't taste like what I make."
I didn't do it, it wasn't me.
"Shut up! Wanwan will talk!" Su Mu glanced at Jiang Wan'er impatiently and interrupted her sternly.
"Waaah, Father, you must stand up for your daughter! A few minutes ago, Zijuan came to tell me that my brother, the Crown Prince, had asked me to meet him at the lakeside. I knew that I was of lowly status and not worthy of my brother, the Crown Prince. I thought I should make things clear with him, so I came to the lakeside as agreed."
To everyone's surprise, the daughter didn't see her brother, the Crown Prince, at all. As she was gazing sadly at the lake, someone pushed her, and she fell into the lake.
"Oh dear, my daughter was so scared! Luckily, a servant rescued her, and she's alright now."
Su Wanwan lowered her head and wiped her eyes, which had no tears, with her sleeve, looking extremely pitiful.
Su Mu was naturally suspicious and extremely arrogant.
Hearing this, he was already looking at Zijuan with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person.
It must have been Zijuan who pushed Wanwan into the water!
How dare they plot against their master? This is outrageous!
Is it possible that this vile maid will also plot against him in the future?
Will the maids and servants in the mansion also plot against him?
Su Mu looked at Zijuan with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person.
Zijuan caught a glimpse of Su Mu's terrifying expression and was terrified. She kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, "General, it's not like that, it's not like that, please listen to me!"
"Shut up! I'll deal with you later!" Su Mu exuded a chilling aura and sternly interrupted Zijuan, who was trying to explain herself.
"Wanwan, please continue." He turned to look at Su Wanwan, his tone softening.
“Yes, Father,” Su Wanwan continued, “The commotion of my daughter falling into the water attracted Sister Xijun and the others. When Sister Xijun saw that my daughter was on the verge of death, she asked Zijuan to call the royal physician to treat her. But Zijuan actually said that my daughter was not Father’s biological daughter, but just a lowly girl from the countryside.”
"Father, as you know, Sister Xijun has always been at odds with me because of the Crown Prince's affair. When they suddenly heard about my true parentage, they all mocked me. They called me a lowly girl, a country bumpkin, 'Waaah!' It's one thing to mock me, but Sister Xijun and her sisters are clearly mocking our entire General's Mansion!"
Su Wanwan continued to apply eye drops to Su Mu.
Who doesn't know that Su Mu's greatest pain is his own background?
He was a country boy from a poor family who had never been to school. Through his sword skills and a bit of cleverness, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and rose to his current position as a third-rank general.
Because he had no connections in the court, many officials were jealous of his rapid promotion and mocked him behind his back for being illiterate, uncouth, and a country bumpkin.
Su Mu hated nothing more than being told that he came from the countryside.
Sure enough, Su Mu's expression turned very ugly after hearing Su Wanwan's words.
Zhang Xijun and her group of pampered young ladies must have heard their elders mocking him at home. On the surface, they were mocking Su Wanwan, but in reality, they were ridiculing this mighty general as a rustic country bumpkin, illiterate and utterly uncouth!
