Chapter 237 3 Birds
Jiang nodded and smiled, "You guessed right."
This is really a case of clichés knocking on the door of clichés, it's so clichés!
Yunli was incredulous and asked, "So grandpa asked for Xu's hand in marriage for my father because she was the daughter of his beloved?"
"Exactly."
"Ok."
Yunli sighed.
I originally thought it was some kind of illicit love affair, but it turns out to be just the love-hate relationship of the previous generation.
"I have never seen Mrs. Xu from my mother's family. Does she look like Mrs. Xu?"
Yunli had read a lot of substitute literature before. If this Xu looked similar to that Madam Xu, then Shen Hongtai's mind might be very dirty.
Giving money and people to your daughter-in-law and helping and protecting her all the time, it shouldn't be a big deal to develop some feelings for her.
Jiang was stunned when he heard this.
"Your grandmother seldom went out. She was not from a high-class family, so she was close to Wang Wanying, who was also from a low-class family but married the son of Master Chen. She had little contact with other people. I have seen her a few times, and she doesn't look like your mother at all."
When she said this, Jiang was stunned as if she was hit by something!
She suddenly pulled Yunli in front of her and looked at him carefully, first looking at his nose. "No, no."
Then he covered Yunli's nose and mouth, but still felt that it was not the case. Finally, he covered Yunli's eyebrows with one hand, and covered Yunli's nose and mouth with the other hand. After reading it, he let out a long sigh and murmured, "No wonder, no wonder!"
Yunli was confused, "Why not, Grandma?"
Jiang looked at Yunli with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh at this girl's luck.
It seems that what happened back then was indeed extremely strange.
If what she guessed was true, it would probably cause a stir in the court!
But this matter cannot be told to that old dog Shen Hongtai. Considering how much Shen Hongtai cares about Madam Xu, that is, Wang Yuan, after learning about this, he may kill her to silence her.
Yunli saw something in Jiang's expression, "Grandma, you are so confused, could it be that my mother doesn't look like Madam Xu at all, but looks a lot like another noble lady?"
Otherwise, why would he look at her with such pity?
Isn't the implication that she didn't expect the same thing to happen to her and her daughter?
Jiang was startled and felt even more pity for the girl in front of her.
With this level of intelligence, if she were a man, the future of the entire family would probably depend on her.
It's a pity that Qingyun is a girl, and what's even more unfortunate is that she has such a mother and grandmother.
The Xu family's power is not only useless to her, but also harmful. And the Chen family...
Ugh.
"Your grandmother and your mother really don't look alike. With the incident with Qingzhu in mind, I also thought your mother looked like her grandmother who died young. But after you came back, I realized that both of you and your mother have eyes like another lady."
Jiang's eyes were somewhat melancholy, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to more than 40 years ago.
"Miss Wang suddenly appeared at the banquet hosted by the eldest princess. She is beautiful and talented. If her family background was not low, there would be more young men from noble families interested in her."
Yunli had a strong hunch that this Miss Wang might be her real grandmother.
It's so fucking bloody!
"Later, she married Chen Yiyu, the only son of Master Chen. They had a son and a daughter. She died of illness when her daughter was one month old. Your mother never went out when she was young, so when she married your father at the age of sixteen, I did not associate her with Miss Wang, or Madam Chen."
Jiang was deeply moved.
If it weren't for the strange incident of her own granddaughter being switched, she wouldn't have thought of this.
Now that I think about it, it’s really suspicious.
Wang Yuan and Wang Wanying had always been good friends. After General Xu died, Wang Wanying was even more worried that she would be heartbroken, so she went to visit her every day, and even accidentally gave birth to a premature baby in Wang Yuan's yard. Everyone in the capital knew about this at the time.
But based on the fact that Xu now looks like Mrs. Chen, Wang Wanying, Wang Wanying's friendship with Wang Yuan back then was simply a huge joke of self-sentiment.
Even Wang Wanying’s death may be inevitably related to Wang Yuan.
"So, grandma means that this Wang Wanying, the deceased Madam Chen, is Xu's biological mother?"
Yunli really felt it was magical, but at the same time, he felt a little gloating in his heart.
Xu has always been arrogant and believed that Shen Qingzhu was also a victim, and that Shen Qingzhu should not bear the consequences of the bad things her mother did.
So what did Xu think when she herself joined the game and became the real daughter who was replaced?
Xu Manxiu was supposed to be the only granddaughter of Master Chen.
But she was the daughter of the Xu family, whose biological father died early. She had to follow Wang Yuan and live in fear under the care of General Xu's step-grandmother since she was a child. She was poorly fed, clothed and used. If it weren't for Shen Hongtai, the fool who made her his daughter-in-law, Xu Manxiu would not have known which old man's family she would have been married to as a second wife.
Wang Yuan's daughter Chen Yuyuan took over her identity and is now the empress dowager.
The difference in identity is really interesting.
"It's almost certain." Jiang sighed.
She was a lady with an imperial decree and had to go to the palace during festivals and holidays. She had met the empress dowager many times.
Now that I think about it, isn’t the Queen Mother’s appearance a combination of Wang Yuan and General Xu?
That is to say, one of the two people died early and the other never showed up, which is why people can't associate them with each other.
Yunli remembered that when Qin Ji and her daughter were hunting her down three years ago, they said that the person who wanted to kill her was a powerful figure from the palace, or someone close to the queen.
Wasn’t the current Queen Mother the Queen three years ago?
"Grandmother, this Queen Mother must have known my life story for a long time."
Yunli could see clearly that the grandmother in this family favored her. Even her three sons, as well as the children of her eldest uncle and third uncle, could be used by her in the future.
As long as she gets rid of Shen Hongtai, Xu and her three sons, the Shen family will be in her hands.
If not now, when will we punish Xu to death?
Furthermore, since the Chen family could be her helper, she should test it out to see whether they valued the deceased Wang Wanying or Chen Yuyuan, who was now the queen mother.
Maybe he could take this opportunity to avenge Chen Yuyuan's attempt to kill him.
The whole thing kills three birds with one stone, so why wouldn't she do it?
