"Oh, Wanwan, there's one more thing I need to tell you. I might know some of your family's secrets. You won't blame me, right?

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I didn't do it on purpose. Also, I swear to God that I will never reveal a single word to anyone."

Shen Wanwan raised three fingers, ready to swear to the heavens, but Pei Wanwan hit her head hard, causing her to grimace in pain. She knew that there were some secrets that could not be heard, and this critical hit was well worth it!

Pei Wanwan was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Shen Wanwan's nose and cursing, "You are so good, Wanwan, I always treated you as a sister, but you secretly treated me as an outsider. You really pissed me off, pissed me off!"

Shen Wanwan was stunned. Why did Pei Wanwan's furious look so familiar? Oh, right, she was clearly the younger version of her stepmother.

But, she is...

It seems like I misunderstood her. How about trying to comfort her?

Shen Wanwan reached out to pull Pei Wanwan, but was pushed away by her. With Pei Wanwan's strength, if she didn't want to, Shen Wanwan would never be able to touch even a corner of her clothes in her life, let alone hold her hand.

"Okay, Wanwan, I know I was wrong. I apologize to you now and I will never make the same mistake again. Please forgive me this time."

Pei Wanwan's expression softened slightly, but she still awkwardly avoided looking at Shen Wanwan. "From the moment we swapped bodies, I considered us one and the same. There's no such thing as a secret. You said it yourself, no matter what, I have to tell you, otherwise we're both finished. Do you think what you just said was human?"

Shen Wanwan: Okay, I have stirred up a hornet's nest, I admit it, as long as you can calm down.

After Pei Wanwan finally calmed down, Shen Wanwan spoke, "Our mother told me that the poison in her body was given by Pei Bailiang and Chen Yuanfang. She could guess who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice, but that's not important. What's important is that Pei Bailiang knew that our mother was not of the Xie family's bloodline."

boom!

Pei Wanwan only felt as if a thunderclap sounded in her head, and the rumbling sound was endless, making her ears buzz, and she could no longer hear every word Shen Wanwan said next.

Before Pei Bailiang proposed to Xie Leqing, he had a cousin named Chen Yuanfang who was in love with him. Chen Yuanfang grew up in the Pei family, and the two were childhood sweethearts.

Normally, it would be a beautiful thing for the two of them to get married and live in harmony, but Pei Bailiang is not a normal person. He wants to have his white moonlight in his arms and have a smooth official career. He is a typical person who wants both.

He first persuaded Chen Yuanfang to become his concubine, and then asked to marry Xie Leqing, the legitimate daughter of the General Protector's Mansion. At that time, Pei Bailiang was just a small editor in the Hanlin Academy. Not to mention the legitimate daughter of the General Protector's Mansion, even a concubine's daughter would not marry him.

But Pei Boliang chose not to take the usual route. Before he went to propose marriage, he first managed to save the beauty and made Xie Leqing fall in love with him before going to the general's mansion to propose marriage. Isn't this a sure thing?

After Xie Leqing married into the Pei family and gave birth to Pei Wanwan, Pei Bailiang's career flourished, and he gradually rose to his current position as Marquis of Cheng'en. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as rising to prominence.

Later, not long after Xie Leqing gave birth to her son Pei Guangguang, she accidentally discovered the existence of Chen Yuanfang. She was so angry that she just wanted to divorce her. However, something had already happened to the Xie Mansion at that time, and she needed the support of the Marquis Mansion, hoping that the Marquis Mansion could help the Xie family out of trouble. Of course, she failed to save the Xie family.

What made Xie Leqing despair was that half a year later, Pei Bailiang took his concubine Chen Yuanfang into the mansion and promoted her to be his concubine. It was then that she learned that Chen Yuanfang had given birth to a son for Pei Bailiang long before she married into the Pei mansion.

However, what surprised Xie Leqing was that Pei Bailiang never thought about divorcing his wife from beginning to end. She thought it was abnormal. At that time, she already knew that Pei Bailiang had no feelings for her and was only using her.

She wanted to ask him for an explanation and accidentally overheard the conversation between the two people, which was about her life experience. She was not a descendant of the Xie family, but she didn't know how Pei Bailiang knew it.

She also learned from their conversation that the reason she had been weak was not because of illness, but because they had been giving her a chronic poison called "Wuyou".

This chronic poison is colorless and odorless, and ordinary doctors cannot detect it at all. Long-term use will not only make your body worse and worse, but also make your mind more and more confused, and eventually you will forget everything and be at the mercy of others.

Xie Leqing was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that there was no one in her natal family and she could not protect her two children alone. If she divorced at this time, the consequences would be even worse. After weighing the pros and cons, she chose to take her two children and leave the Marquis' Mansion and live in the manor under her own name. Since then, she has left the wolf's den and her health is much better than when she was in the Marquis' Mansion.
