Chapter 167 Reveals the Truth Behind Jiang Ruan's Death

"Boss, how could you listen to the Crown Princess's nonsense? So many of us can testify that what she said is false. She's only saying this because she's jealous."

My Su family is so unlucky to have such a granddaughter. Not only did she scheme to seize our property and drive us out of the house, but she also ruined Wan Shi's face!

As her father, you should feel sorry for Wanshi. Look, if her face hadn't been disfigured, she would still look somewhat like you!

At this moment, Madam Su adopted the demeanor of an elder and said indignantly.

No one noticed that when she said Wan Shi looked like Su Zhen, a strange look flashed across Su Zhen's eyes.

The reason why Madam Su said this was because Su Wanshi looked like Su Yu, and Su Yu and Su Zhen were brothers, so they did look somewhat alike.

As soon as she said this, Jiang Qinshu glanced at Su Wanshi and Su Zhen and suddenly realized that they really did look a bit alike.

Suddenly, she felt emboldened and cried out, "Brother, Wanshi looks so much like you, how could she not be your daughter? She and the Crown Princess are like mother and father, respectively!"

The strange look in Su Zhen's eyes deepened. He was not swayed by Jiang Qinshu's words, but instead asked more firmly, "Why did you lie to me? What does Jiang Ruan's death have to do with you?"

"What are you saying, brother? Jiang Ruan died in childbirth, it has nothing to do with us!"

Jiang Qinshu felt guilty and scared, so she quickly denied it.

If my older brother finds out about Jiang Ruan... he'll probably chop them up!

“Uncle, your parents didn’t lie to you. Your aunt did die in childbirth, and she did give birth to twins. You can’t just believe the Crown Princess’s resentful revenge. Everything must be based on evidence.”

Su Lianwu, who had been silent until now, saw that things were not going well and quickly stood up to speak for his parents.

Now that the second branch of the family is in the same boat, they share the same fate, so naturally he will help his parents.

Su Zhen was slightly taken aback by Su Lianwu's words and lowered his eyes in thought.

Indeed, everything requires evidence. Although I am now very suspicious of the second wife, without evidence, there is still a possibility that I could wrong them.

Seeing that Su Zhen hesitated, Su Liluo exchanged a glance with Xiao Ye.

Then she said, "Since you want evidence, then I'll give you the satisfaction! Guards, bring Granny Xiao out here!"

Granny Xiao!

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Qinshu suddenly looked up and stared incredulously toward the door.

Didn't this person die back then?

How could it still appear?

After they switched the children back then, they sent people to hunt down Granny Xiao, even though they clearly said she was dead!

Granny Xiao was dressed in a clean and tidy gray-blue cotton and linen outfit, and she looked a bit plumper than when Su Lilu first met her.

Since returning to the capital with Su Liluo, she has been kept in the backyard of the Prince's mansion by Su Liluo, who also personally prescribed medicine for her to regulate her body.

Now, her overall mental state has improved a lot.

Seeing Jiang Qinshu again, she could no longer hide the hatred in her eyes.

"Jiang Qinshu, you never thought I'd still be alive! Back then, you switched the madam's child and even sent people to kill me to silence me. Luckily, I pretended to be dead and escaped."

Granny Xiao, with each sharp word, exposed Jiang Qinshu's true colors.

Su Zhen recognized Xiao Mama at first glance. Back when he met Jiang Ruan, this nanny had always been by her side.

Therefore, Su Zhen naturally believed what Granny Xiao said at this moment.

He immediately glared angrily at Jiang Qinshu and shouted, "How do you still want to deny it now! For your own benefit, you actually switched my child, and now you've forced her to reveal the truth herself. How much have you mistreated her all these years!"

Su Zhen dared not even think about it!

He felt extremely guilty. If he had known that Jiang Ruan and her daughter would end up like this in the capital, he would have preferred to take them to the north back then.

Back then, he was worried that Jiang Ruan might be discovered by his enemies in the north, but he never expected that even if he stayed in the capital, there would still be wolves and tigers around.

He was too trusting of the second branch of the Su family!

He had assumed that his second brother was related to him by blood, and he repeatedly told them to take good care of Jiang Ruan. He also entrusted them with the safekeeping of the Su family's wealth.

Even so, they still wouldn't let Jiang Ruan and her daughter go!

If my daughter hadn't found the evidence herself and exposed the second wife's true colors today, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark!

The fact that they were able to force their daughter to expose the truth shows that the second branch of the Su family has not taken good care of her all these years. She doesn't even know what kind of suffering she has endured in this family all these years!

Thinking of all this, Su Zhen felt both heartache and guilt. Slowly, he turned around and looked at Su Liluo with tears in his eyes.

"Luo'er, it's your father who's sorry! Your father is sorry for your mother, for making you suffer so much and not being able to take good care of you!"

Su Zhen said in a pained voice.

Su Liluo felt a pang of sadness in her heart and was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

It's impossible for her not to feel any resentment towards Su Zhen, after all, it was her father's brother and sister-in-law who harmed her mother.

If Su Zhen hadn't trusted them so easily and left his mother in the Su family, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

But then I thought, if my mother had gone north with Su Zhen back then, and Su Zhen had ended up in trouble, my mother would have been all alone and helpless.

She remained silent for a long while before saying, "Father, what's done is done. The important thing now is to avenge Mother!"

right!

revenge!

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen immediately perked up, his sharp eyes fixed on the second branch of the Su family.

Jiang Qinshu and the others were so frightened that they couldn't speak the moment they saw Granny Xiao. Now, seeing Su Zhen's terrifying gaze, they shrank back in fear.

"Brother, we...we just switched your child. We were confused at the time. We...we know we were wrong. Please forgive us!"

“That’s right, brother. Look, we’ve raised Luo’er to adulthood, and even made her the Crown Princess. In the end, the result is still the same.”

Jiang Qinshu and Su Yu knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You're talking nonsense! You not only switched the children, you also poisoned the madam and killed her. She wouldn't have had a difficult childbirth back then, but she died because of the poisoning and they could only save one child."

Before she died, the lady discovered that Jiang Qinshu had poisoned her, but by then the poison was almost taking effect. She didn't expose you to save her child!

Seeing that the second branch of the Su family was still trying to beg for mercy, Granny Xiao, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke angrily.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen trembled and glared at Jiang Qinshu with eyes wide with fury.

"You poisoned Jiang Ruan to death! You, you deserve to die!"

After saying that, he angrily grabbed Jiang Qinshu by the neck and lifted her off the ground.

Jiang Qinshu's face flushed red, her feet left the ground, and she sobbed as if she wanted to beg for mercy.
