Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

“Master, sir—” The old nanny’s voice trembled.

Lord Jiang's face turned ashen; everything Lady Wei said had reached his ears.

He had just met the girl named Xiao Lan, and after Princess Shouguang recounted what happened back then, he still didn't quite believe it.

If it's true, he's been deceived for eighteen years, and his daughter has suffered for eighteen years. He doesn't want to accept that.

Furthermore, Princess Shouguang's words revealed the truth behind many conspiracies. He was aware of some of them, but he was still clueless about others.

For example, the eldest son drowned; Ye Qiao was killed; there might be some shady collusion between Young Master Zhong and Jiang Shuxue; and Jiang Shuxue was indeed born to Madam Wei.

Wei's words kept impacting him.

The truth is what is said vaguely and unconsciously.

"You all get out."

The servants all lowered their heads and quickened their pace as they left.

The old nanny knelt down: "Master, Madam is just confused for a moment. She doesn't even know what she's saying. Please don't take it to heart. These words shouldn't be taken seriously."

"Can you, you old slave, guarantee this? If it's true, then your entire family will pay the price for your deception."

The old woman trembled all over and dared not speak.

"roll."

The room was empty, except for Mrs. Wei, who continued to utter chilling words from between her teeth.

Lord Jiang stood by the bed, looking down at the woman he had cherished for many years, his eyes cold and dark.

He knew that Madam Wei was petty and liked to fight and haggle, but he never expected that she was as vicious as a snake and had done so many outrageous and inhuman things.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have indulged her in the first place.

"How did you manage to exchange your daughter for the daughter of Princess Shouguang eighteen years ago?"

Lord Jiang asked slowly.

Hearing the somber questioning, which sounded like a judgment from the gods, Madam Wei became even more frightened. She had done so many wrong things, and now they were all about to be exposed, leaving her with nothing. Her spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Perhaps if she speaks out, she might receive a lighter punishment.

Mrs. Wei now seems like someone who has fallen into the water and is on the verge of drowning, grasping at a straw for salvation.

She recounted everything she had done back then in great detail.

Lord Jiang closed his eyes and finally managed to calm himself down.

"What about Young Master Zhong and Jiang Shuxue? Is it related to the eldest young master's drowning?"

Madam Wei then naturally confessed everything, but she was afraid that she might have omitted something, so that her punishment would be increased.

Because they feared that the eldest son would compete with the second and third sons for the family business, they wanted to get rid of him. So they used the excuse that the eldest son intended to seize the dowry to incite the young master Zhong to take action.

A dark cloud hung over Lord Jiang's face.

Princess Shouguang and her family of three were almost wiped out by the Wei family.

At this moment, all his feelings for this woman vanished, leaving only utter disgust.

Young Master Zhong has finally returned home.

He frowned when he heard that Jiang Shuxue had an accident and was almost hit by a carriage.

In that case, the wedding might not be able to take place as scheduled. But so be it. As long as the two families can become related by marriage, the dowry will still end up in his hands.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened! A major incident has occurred at the Jiang family." The steward beside Lord Zhong ran into the courtyard, looking somewhat distraught.

"So what if Jiang Shuxue was hit by a car? She wasn't killed." Zhong Jinze acted as if it were none of his business. "If the Jiang family comes over and wants to postpone the marriage, just agree. Don't let Father ask me."

"Compared to this, this is nothing." The butler pounded his fist into his palm, his face full of anxiety.

Zhong Jinze was already feeling down, so he leaned back on the soft couch and lazily asked, "What's wrong?"

The butler didn't know how to begin, even though many people already knew the details of the incident.

Well, it's so entertaining to watch.

He thought for a moment and said, "Does the young master know why Miss Jiang was hit by a car today?"

"I don't want to know these things, as long as he's not dead."

"It was because Miss Jiang wanted to bump into someone, but Qiao Dameng happened to see it. In order to save that person, he rode his horse into Miss Jiang's horse, which caused her to fall off."

Zhong Jinze was still not very interested, but he did not stop the butler from continuing.

"The person Miss Jiang was about to hit is said to be the real daughter of Princess Shouguang, while Miss Jiang is the daughter of Madam Wei. However, eighteen years ago, Madam Wei used tricks to switch her two daughters and let Jiang Shuxue be raised by Princess Shouguang."

"What?" Zhong Jinze suddenly sat up from the soft couch, grabbed Butler Lin's shoulder, and said urgently, "Is everything you're saying true?"

"It comes from within the Jiang family. It seems that neither Lord Jiang nor Princess Shouguang intends to deliberately hide it. Therefore, the servants of the Jiang family are not hiding anything. Now, all the high-ranking families in the capital are discussing this matter. It's quite a lively discussion."

"You mean, the real daughter of Princess Shouguang has returned, so Jiang Shuxue wants to make a move against him."

"Yes, isn't Madam Wei raising Jiang Shuxue under the care of Princess Shouguang just to benefit from the advantages and glory of the principal wife? Jiang Shuxue has enjoyed the treatment of a legitimate daughter since childhood. When she gets married, she will receive such a large dowry and marry into the well-matched Zhong family. Madam Wei almost achieved her goal."

"But at this critical juncture, the matter has been exposed. Now that the master and madam know, they are very angry and feel that they have been deceived by the Jiang family."

The butler continued talking to himself, only then noticing Zhong Jinze's expression.

Zhong Jinze's face turned pale and then red. He murmured, "So she was just a concubine's daughter, not the legitimate daughter. Since that's the case, I can't marry her. The dowry for Princess Shouguang should go to her real daughter. I want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family."

He immediately got up from the soft couch: "Go find Father, and then go with Father to the Jiang family. In a few days, the Zhong family will be marrying Miss Jiang, who is the legitimate daughter of the main wife."

Zhong Jinze rushed over and saw Lord Zhong and his wife sitting in the hall, their faces extremely grim.

"Jinze, you've heard about the Jiang family's affair, haven't you?" Lord Zhong snorted. "Although the Jiang family was unaware of it, the matter was only exposed as the wedding date approached. It's a real loss for our Zhong family. Even if we could replace the illegitimate daughter with the legitimate daughter, we would still demand that the Jiang family add several times more to the dowry before our Zhong family would be satisfied."

“Father, that’s what I think too. Otherwise, we would have almost married a concubine’s daughter as our principal wife. What would the big families in the capital think of our Zhong family? That’s absolutely unacceptable.”

Lord Zhong stood up: "Let's go to the Jiang family. We don't need to bring anything."

Just then, someone came to announce that Lord Jiang had arrived.

"You've come at the perfect time. Our Zhong family is just looking for justice," Lord Zhong sneered.
