After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Jiang Mianmian looked at Shen Xiuyan, thinking to herself, "Hmph! See? See? The fox's tail is showing!"

[This is the woman you liked back then. You said her talent and beauty complemented each other perfectly, like a pearl and jade, flawless. Just thinking about it makes you want to "date" her.]

Look, look, who would believe there's nothing fishy going on here? It's as clear as day—a blatant scheme!

[Shen Xiuyan, if you still believe in and favor your white moonlight, I'll grab a hammer and smash his skull open to see if it's filled with nothing but love-struck brains.]

Jiang Mianmian held her sleeping granddaughter in her arms: "Oh, my little darling, your dad is a jerk. If he doesn't stand up for you, we'll abandon him."

Now, I'm determined to live to a ripe old age and die peacefully, and then watch how that family of scoundrels courts their own demise.

Now, I don't care about anyone else, I only care about my little darling. I don't care if the rest of the Shen family lives or dies.

Shen Xiuyan's lips twitched. My dear mother, what have I done to offend you? Besides, don't forget, you are also a member of the Shen family.

Moreover, I'll say it three times: the child you're holding is first and foremost my daughter, and only secondly your granddaughter. Have you got your priorities backwards?

Besides, why is he so unworthy of Jiang Mianmian's trust? He, Shen Xiuyan, is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, and he has been in the officialdom for many years. If he can't even see through this little thing, then he has wasted thirty years of his life.

Moreover, although Jiang Mianmian is not his biological mother, she has never harmed him over the years.

Moreover, she never lacked anything that Jiang Mianmian's biological son had, and he was quite grateful to her!

He knew Jiang Mianmian's personality; she wasn't the type to make baseless accusations against others.

There must be a special reason why she said that. Just like... he can now hear Jiang Mianmian's "inner thoughts".

Shen Xiuyan is now quite certain that what he can hear is Jiang Mianmian's "inner voice".

The others in the courtyard seemed not to hear, and he had no intention of telling anyone about it, let alone Jiang Mianmian. He didn't even know how to bring it up!

It's like... it's like... God suddenly gave Jiang Mianmian a... cheat code, yes, yes, the storybooks call this special ability a "cheat code".

Today he also heard that his mother actually cared about him so much, which further eased the tension between them.

"Mother, don't worry! I will have people continue to investigate this matter. After all, she is my own daughter. How could I let my child be harmed?"

I would never let anyone switch my daughter with someone else. She's my own flesh and blood, am I stupid?

Jiang Mianmian stared intently at Shen Xiuyan for a moment, but she didn't believe his words at all. She said, "Shen Xiuyan, you better keep your word. If I find out you've gone easy on me, see how I punish you. You won't even get Le'an anymore!"

Shen Xiuyan's lips curled up: "Mother, if you like Le'an, then let Le'an stay with you from now on. I will have absolutely no objection."

Well, this is a good opportunity for him to spend some time alone with his wife.

Since they got married, his wife has been having children non-stop and is busy taking care of the children every day. The two of them haven't been alone together for a long time!

Now, all four sons have gone out with their fourth brother; otherwise, they wouldn't have had time to accompany their wives to Xuanji Temple to offer incense today.

Jiang Mianmian was overjoyed to hear Shen Yanxiu approve of the name she had chosen for her granddaughter. Her granddaughter's name in her previous life—"Shengzi"—was just too awful.

After the granddaughter returned to the Shen family, she was named Shen Baozhu, which means that she would be cherished by the whole family. It was a good name, but things didn't go as planned. No one treated her as well as her name suggested.

They all treat that fake heiress like a precious jewel. Humph, they're all a bunch of bastards!

In this life, Jiang Mianmian never wants her granddaughter to use the name from her previous life. Le'an, Le'an, signifies a joyful, auspicious, and peaceful life for her granddaughter—this is her blessing for her!

Jiang Mianmian said with a smile, "Little Le'an, Little Le'an, Grandma's Little Le'an, did you hear me?"

At this moment, Xiao Le'an, who was fast asleep, suddenly smiled, as if responding to Jiang Mianmian's words.

Shen Feng returned with the results of his investigation, and they were indeed as his mother had said.

Han Lanjiao is no longer the person she knew back then. After more than ten years of hardship in the inner quarters, she is no longer the same person she once was, and has become unrecognizable.

Shen Xiuyan's eyes flickered as he looked out the window and whispered a few words to Shen Feng.

Half an hour later, Shen Feng and his men captured Ma Lingshu, the little nun from Xuanji Nunnery, and Shaoyao, the maidservant beside Li Tingxue.

Ma Lingshu initially refused to admit it, but when Shen Xiuyan gagged Shaoyao and beat her with a board in front of them until she was barely alive, the teenage nun from Xuanji Nunnery was so frightened that she wet herself.

She immediately knelt down, crying and begging for mercy. After she confessed everything she knew, Shen Xiuyan directly said that he would send them to Dali Temple.

Ma Lingshu was truly terrified. If she went to the Dali Temple, she would undoubtedly ruin her family's reputation, and then death would be the only thing waiting for her. She tearfully confessed the whole truth.

Not long after Han Lanjiao married Prince Shuo, Prince Shuo revealed his true colors: he was narrow-minded, short-tempered, and often beat her.

She wanted a divorce, but the Han family, relying on the power of the Anyang Prince's Mansion, was climbing the social ladder and would never allow her to divorce the Prince of Shuo.

So, when Han Lanjiao heard that Shen Xiuyan was loving and considerate to his wife after getting married, she regretted it and longed for a divorce every day. However, her longing and regret slowly turned into hatred.

Han Lanjiao returned to the capital under the pretext of visiting her seriously ill grandmother. She inquired about the Shen family and learned that Li Tingxue hoped to have a daughter.

Then, she found many beggar children and spread the word that the Xuanji Temple was very effective in granting daughters.

He also bribed Shaoyao, Li Tingxue's maid, to tell Li Tingxue from time to time that praying for a daughter at Xuanji Nunnery was very effective.

Li Tingxue already had four sons and really wanted a daughter, so she was truly tempted.

After receiving Shaoyao's reply, Han Lanjiao arrived at the nunnery quietly a day early and made all the arrangements. However, she did not expect that she would go into labor and give birth to a child a day early, which was indeed a girl.

Ma Lingshu had already bribed the young nun beside Abbess Jingci, and under the guise of praying for Xiao Le'an, she was secretly colluding with Li Tingxue's maid to secretly switch the child!
