Prime Minister's House.

Prime Minister Shen sat quietly in his study until dark. He neither lit the lamp nor returned to Chu Yuyuan for dinner. He even sat in a dejected posture without moving, staring blankly ahead.

A few days ago, he received the Duke of Anguo in his study. The two talked for half an hour and had a very pleasant conversation. He did not expect that a few days later, he would receive the King of Qin here and be hit hard one after another.

The news one after another caught him off guard, and he suddenly felt confused, as if there was a thick gray fog covering his head, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The servant, unaware of the situation, ran to Shufang Courtyard to find Su Liujuan, "Madam, the Prime Minister has not returned to Chu Yuyuan yet, nor has he ordered anyone to send food to the study. Look..."

Su Liujuan was slightly startled when she heard this, but she only replied: "Then I'll wait until he's hungry and then ask you to serve him food."

She turned around and went back to her room, closed the door, and refused to let anyone serve her. She lay on the bed alone and wiped her tears secretly.

After being married for many years, she knew very well that when he was upset, he would hide in the study alone, and the longer he stayed there, the more difficult the problem would be.

But at this moment she was not only upset, but also furious!

If she had not been confined to Shufangyuan by him, she really wanted to go to his study immediately to ask him for clarification.

Shen Wanshu was in poor health and had a heart disease, so Su Liujuan would often stay with her. Over time, they simply cleaned up a room and slept there when it was too late.

In the past, when she lived here, she was willing to do so. Shen Wanshu needed her care, and as a mother, she should pay more attention to her.

But now, she lay in bed, unable to close her eyes. She felt nauseous and tossed and turned all night.

During the day in Wanqing Courtyard, Chuntao's words hit her heart like a thunderclap.

For some reason, for a moment, she had the thought that Shen Wanshu was not her daughter.

This thought horrified her. She had to know that her daughter had been living away from home for eight years. She had missed her so much and loved her so much in this year, giving her all the maternal love that she had lacked during those years.

Perhaps it was because he cared too much about her when he lost her and then found her again, that when she came back, he simply ignored the fact that her face looked 50% similar to Wanwan's.

After Su Liujuan pulled Shen Wanshu back to Shufangyuan, she immediately asked someone to fetch water to wash off her makeup, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

At first, Shen Wanshu found various excuses to shirk responsibility and even thought of pretending to faint from a heart attack.

But before she could fully perform the art of pretending to faint, Su Liujuan said, "Biqing, come over here and help your young lady to the bed. Wait until she falls asleep, then go get some water."

Shen Wanshu was stuck in dizziness.

She lowered her eyelids. Even if she was really dizzy, her makeup would be washed off. So why was she pretending to be dizzy?

Her eyes rolled around, and she fell to her knees with a thud. "Mother, even if I'm not your biological daughter, I still have my father's blood flowing in my veins!"

Shen Wanshu burst into tears and said, "Shu'er is the blood of the Shen family. Shu'er has always regarded you as her biological mother, mother..."

Upon hearing this, Su Liujuan stumbled back two steps and raised her trembling hand to point at Shen Wanshu, "You, you...why did you pretend to be my daughter? Where is my daughter? Where is my daughter?"

"I don't know, I really don't know anything. I... I only know that I'm an orphan. Someone recognized the jade pendant on me and told me it belonged to the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Su Liujuan of course knew the jade pendant that Shen Wanshu was talking about. It was because Shen Wanshu came to her house with the jade pendant that she abandoned Wanwan's unfinished coming-of-age ceremony and was eager to acknowledge her daughter in public.

Now she was told that the person in front of her was fake, someone who had replaced her biological daughter's identity, and that she was the child of Shen Zhongtian and someone else. How could she swallow this?!

"Come here, bring me some water. I want to see what you look like!"

In the end, Shen Wanshu did not faint, but Su Liujuan was so angry that she spit out blood and almost fainted.

She never imagined that the daughter she had cherished for a whole year was not only fake, but even more ironic was that she looked like the same person as that person!

Shen Zhongtian, he really betrayed me!

That night, except for the old lady, no other master in the prime minister's mansion could sleep peacefully. They were either trembling or gloomy-looking, all of them were miserable!
