The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

With the Queen's order, the maids from the Ministry of Punishment came quickly, bringing with them various torture instruments.

When Sun saw those torture instruments, she was so frightened that her legs went weak. If the eunuch had not been holding her arms, she would have fallen down.

As the torture instruments were used on the body, shrill screams spread throughout the Cining Palace. Even Lin and others were frightened by the screams and got goose bumps all over their bodies.

But no one dared to speak.

[Tsk tsk tsk, Sun Yun'er is quite patient in order to protect her sister's daughter. She can still withstand so many torture instruments.]

[It turns out Sun Yun'er has a daughter who is only fifteen this year. If I use Sun Yun'er's daughter as a threat, I'm sure she'll confess. But isn't that too inhumane?]

Just as Gu Jianchu was struggling, Xie Ci'an waved his hand and whispered a few words in Cheng Song's ear.

It may be inhumane to the queen, but to him, as long as he can get what he wants, any means matter.

Cheng Song walked up to Sun Yun'er and said something. But after a while, Sun Yun'er looked in the direction of the emperor and empress with a look of fear, and the corners of her lips were trembling, as if she was afraid.

"I confess, I confess everything." Sun Yun'er almost shouted, fearing that if she spoke a little slower, her daughter would be hurt.

The young eunuch immediately loosened the torture device and threw the man by the arms in front of the Emperor and Empress. Sun Yun'er's face was covered in blood, and she looked at the Emperor and Empress with unprecedented fear. "It was me who switched my sister's daughter with the eldest lady's daughter. If it weren't for the eldest lady's scheme, my sister wouldn't have died. I knew my sister's daughter wouldn't have survived in the Annan Marquis's mansion, so I took advantage of the eldest lady's recent birth to switch the two babies."

"At that time, the Madam was relaxed around me and no one paid attention to me. I stayed in the mansion for a while, and seeing that nothing had happened, I knew it was done. I made up an excuse and left the Annan Marquis's mansion."

"The concubine's daughter Sun Yao is the eldest lady's real daughter, and the legitimate second daughter Sun Ying is my sister's daughter." Sun said in one breath and then collapsed on the ground.

Because of Sun's words, the people at the scene had different expressions.

Shu Yao just breathed a sigh of relief.

Annanbo's face was gloomy and ugly, and Lin beside him seemed to have not yet recovered from the shocking news.

Only Shu Ying reacted the fastest and pounced on her, completely losing her usual gentle demeanor. "Who told you to talk nonsense? I'm clearly my mother's daughter. How could I be that bitch's daughter? How much have you accepted from Shu Yao?"

"Sister, all my monthly salary has been taken away by you. The clothes I wear are the ones left by you and my elder sister. How can I have the money to bribe someone to give false testimony for me? This only proves that everything they said is true." Shu Yao refuted Shu Yao clearly.

"Who knows what you used to bewitch them?" Shu Ying seemed to have remembered something important. She turned around and knelt in front of Lin, carefully touching her hand. "Mother, don't listen to their nonsense. It must be that Shu Yao who deliberately sowed discord."

The moment Shu Ying's hand was about to touch Lin, Lin instantly withdrew her hand, with uncontrollable disgust in her eyes. Although Shu Ying was raised by her since childhood, she couldn't help but feel sick when she thought that the blood of her concubine remained in Shu Ying's body.

Even her own daughter had a hard time in the mansion because of those concubines.

She couldn't accept either of her two daughters now, so she could only vent her anger on Annanbo, the instigator of all the trouble.

Lin slapped Annanbo in the face and said, "Are you satisfied now? If you hadn't brought so many bitches into the mansion all day long, our biological daughter wouldn't have been tortured, and this wouldn't have happened."

An Nanbo was furious at being beaten, and just as he was about to fight back, Shu Zhaoyi stopped him. "Mother is right. If it weren't for Dad, there wouldn't be such a big joke. Instead of making a scene here, why not think about how Shu Ying should deal with it?"

Shu Zhaoyi couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes.

Now Shu Ying has already wasted a move, and it is probably impossible to send her to the palace.

Shu Ying was a smart person. She knew that she couldn't rely on the Lin family, so she turned her gaze to An Nanbo and said, "Dad, you can't abandon me. I can help you with anything."

"Empress, the truth has been revealed. Shuying and Shuyao are both my daughters. Shuying has been raised under the name of the First Lady for many years. I would like Shuying to continue to be fostered under the name of the First Lady. As for Shuyao, she is the Third Lady."

[Lao Deng's wishful thinking could probably be heard throughout Liaodong. Shu Yao was just trying to give the emperor an explanation. As for Shu Ying, even if she couldn't enter the palace, she could still be sent to another powerful official's family for marriage.]

[Speaking out in public won't give the First Lady a chance to cause a scene.]

[Given his shameless face, it's no wonder he was able to run rampant in the court for so many years. After all, when people are shameless, they can be invincible.]

As soon as An Nanbo's voice fell, Lin immediately became unwilling and sneered, "I don't agree."

"I have helped you raise your concubine's daughter for so many years, and now you want to put her under my name. It's disgusting." Lin shouted without caring about the reputation of the Earl of Annan.

An Nanbo immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I will not pursue the matter of you cheating on me for now. I hope you will learn to restrain yourself and not make a fuss. We can discuss the rest of the matter when we get home."

Gu Jianchu coughed lightly and said, "After all, this is the family affair of the Annan Marquis' Mansion, so I can't force my way into it. However, I still need to ask Miss Shu Yao's opinion on this matter. After all, it was Miss Shu Yao who had her life swapped for eighteen years. This also resulted in Miss Shu Yao being so close to her biological mother, yet unable to call her mother and daughter."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Nanbo looked at Shu Yao with a fierce look, his brows twitched violently, and a bad premonition instantly lingered in his heart.

Shu Ying was still easy for him to control, but Shu Yao was now completely out of his control. He was afraid that no matter what he said, the other party would not listen.

An Nanbo still stepped forward and said in a negotiating tone, "Yaoyao, Daddy knows that I have wronged you over the years and caused you a lot of injustice. Don't worry, Daddy will definitely make it up to you and cancel the marriage I arranged for you. But Daddy hopes that you can tolerate Shuying. After all, even if you are not born of the same mother, you are still sisters after all."

Hearing this, Shu Yao sneered, "Daddy, what you said is really an understatement. When Shu Ying asked me to help her fish out the gold hairpins from the pond in the middle of winter, did she ever consider me her sister? She also stole all my monthly allowance and asked me to go out to buy her rouge and powder when it rained. Daddy, after going through all that, how can I still treat her as a sister?"
