Chapter 166 Twins from Vastly Different Worlds

The second branch of the Su family, along with the reluctant Old Madam Su, slowly followed Su Zhen and bowed to Su Liluo and the others.

"Wow, Sister Su Liluo is so beautiful! How come they look so different even though they're twins? Aren't twins supposed to look alike?"

After Su Liluo came in and sat down, Sister Qiao stared at Su Liluo's face and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Sister Qiao, don't be rude!"

Jiang Qinshu was terrified when she heard Qiao Jie'er's words and quickly scolded her.

Cui Niang, also frightened, hugged Qiao Jie back to her and quickly covered her mouth, looking timidly at Su Li Luo.

"twin?"

Su Liluo grasped the key point in Sister Qiao's words and looked at the second branch of the Su family with a playful gaze.

What did she mean by that?

"Luo'er, you've come at the right time. Actually, I have something to tell you. You... are not my biological daughter. You are your uncle's biological daughter."

Jiang Qinshu immediately smiled and explained to Su Liluo.

"Oh? Is that so?"

This truly surprised and puzzled Su Liluo; she never expected Jiang Qinshu to say something like that.

However, seeing the guilty conscience and enthusiasm on Jiang Qinshu's face, and recalling Qiao Jie'er's words about twins, Su Liluo seemed to understand something.

"Second Aunt, are you saying that Su Wanshi and I are twins?"

Su Liluo glanced at the people from the second branch of the Su family with a smile in her eyes, and finally her gaze fell on Su Wanshi, who was trying to make her presence as little as possible.

Su Wanshi was burning with jealousy. She didn't want to admit that she and Su Liluo were twins, but she had no choice; she needed this identity to gain recognition.

Otherwise, with her current face, why would Su Zhen accept her as his daughter?

"Well, this is a long story, Your Highness, please listen to me slowly."

Jiang Qinshu nodded eagerly, then deliberately wiped away her tears while repeating the same words they had said to Su Zhen yesterday to Su Liluo.

"Pfft!"

Before Jiang Qinshu could finish speaking, Su Liluo couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

"Crown Princess, what are you laughing at?"

Jiang Qinshu was both flustered and furious, cursing Su Liluo a thousand times in her heart.

He had already humbled himself to please her, and even told her about his past, but she was still ungrateful and mocked him.

Did she find out something, or was she deliberately trying to go against me?

"Second Aunt, so this is the terrible idea you came up with these past two days? With Su Wanshi and me looking so different, does she even deserve to be my twin?"

"Your Highness, how can you speak like that? Wanshi is your own sister!"

"Outrageous! Crown Princess, you've gone too far! Eldest brother, did you see that? This is how she bullies her own sister! Aren't you going to teach her a lesson? All these years without a mother to teach and raise her, this is what she's become!"

As soon as Su Liluo finished speaking, Su Yu and Jiang Qinshu broke down and couldn't help but point at Su Liluo and start cursing.

They completely forgot that they had just said they had adopted Su Liluo into their own names.

Sitting to the side, Su Zhen frowned. He had initially thought Su Liluo's behavior was a bit excessive, but after hearing what Su Yu and the others said, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

It seems that Su Yu and the others treat Su Liluo very badly, even though Su Liluo was raised by them.

Why was he able to point at Su Liluo and call her motherless?

Shouldn't she have been calling Jiang Qinshu "mother" for over a decade?

Then I thought about how Su Wanshi and Su Liluo do look very different. Although not every pair of twins looks exactly alike, they are usually somewhat similar.

But Su Liluo and the other person are completely like they were born from two different parents.

Unlike Su Yu, Su Zhen was not easily swayed. After some deep thought, he realized that he had only heard Su Yu's side of the story and had not yet heard Su Liluo's explanation. He felt that he needed to observe further.

Therefore, he did not reprimand Su Liluo.

Instead, he looked at her gently and asked, "Princess Consort, why do you say that? Have you suffered some injustice?"

Wronged?

Upon hearing Su Zhen's gentle voice, Su Liluo felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Su Zhen did not blame himself like the second branch of the Su family did because he had listened to their instigation these past two days. Instead, he was concerned about whether he had suffered any injustice.

Is this what it feels like to be a biological father?

Only biological parents would show concern rather than blame when their children get angry and do things that seem impolite to outsiders.

When she thought about her grievances, all the memories of her life in the second branch of the Su family over the years, and the scenes of their favoritism towards Su Wanshi, immediately surfaced in her mind.

Before she knew it, Su Liluo's eyes reddened.

"Luo'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

At this moment, Xiao Ye saw Su Liluo's red eyes and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He quickly took a silk handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

“Dad, you only have one daughter, I am your second uncle and aunt. They are lying to you. Su Wanshi is their biological daughter.”

Su Liluo calmed down, then looked at Su Zhen and said clearly.

"Are you... are you telling the truth?"

Hearing Su Lilu call him "Father," Su Zhen was deeply moved. Su Wanshi had called him that before, but he had never felt this way before.

"Yes, they're lying to you. My mother only gave birth to one daughter, me. They're only trying to pass off their own daughter as your daughter now that you've been promoted, so they can arrange a good marriage for her."

Over the years, my second uncle and aunt have never treated me well. The reason I treated the Su family that way was entirely because they secretly switched me for their own selfish gain; they even tried to kill me!

Su Liluo's words, sharp and incisive, exposed the conspiracy of the second branch of the Su family.

Su Zhen was greatly alarmed, and his gaze toward the second branch of the Su family gradually became sharp.

"Second brother! Is this really how you treat my child? No matter what, I am your half-brother. How could you treat my child like this!"

"No, brother, that's not true! Don't listen to her nonsense! She's just jealous of us, that's why she's talking such rubbish. It's not what she said!"

Su Zhen's loud shout terrified Su Yu and the others, who desperately tried to explain.

Jiang Qinshu frantically chimed in, "Big brother, we really didn't lie to you! It's because the Crown Princess has been disobedient and unlikable since she was little. She's jealous of her sister, so she did this. Look, she's ruined Wanshi's face. What a vicious person she is!"

Even Su Wanshi looked at Su Zhen nervously and said pitifully, "Father, my sister is still blaming me. It's all my fault that my sister still hates me so much."
