Chapter 286

【The karma one creates will eventually come back to haunt them. Who could have imagined that Madam Wan would weave such a colossal lie and orchestrate a scheme that could tear the heavens apart? Originally, she could have basked in the satisfaction of revenge, but her own children proved to be so capable that they turned her grand performance into a scandal, forcing her into a corner where she had to endure unbearable truths and pressures. In the end, she was left to clean up the mess she had created, preventing the illusion from crumbling.】0

The Qin Family, upon hearing this, grasped the key point: what kind of revenge could bring such satisfaction? It must be related to the reason behind switching the children.0

However, Ji Fei was unable to provide any gossip services at the moment, as she was busy watching the drama unfold and muttering to herself.0

Jing Yu glared menacingly, while Madam Wan could only lower her head and avoid eye contact, trying to take her daughter away. But no one was cooperating with her, leaving her no choice but to face Jing Yu. In a moment of desperation, she mustered her wits.0

"No, no, my child, it's... it's that my daughter is not worthy of you. I know, you two didn't actually... you didn't have any relationship at all. Naturally, you don't need to take any responsibility. Everything I said earlier was just to set up Jing Yan." As Madam Wan spoke, she became more convinced of her own reasoning and even started to smile with relief.0

To the others, her words sounded bizarre. Even though they knew she had schemed against Jing Yan, it was strange that she would so casually admit it, just to clarify that Jing Yu and Wan Ru had no relationship.0

This seemed to lack a sense of proportion.0

Was she losing her mind?0

Even Jing Yan, who had been drifting in his own thoughts, couldn't help but give a bitter smile upon hearing this. In his mother's eyes, being set up by her didn't seem to matter at all.0

【She must be delusional. The blow must have been too great. It's as if, as long as it's not exposed, everything can be treated as if it never happened. After all, it's such a secret matter, known only to her. As long as she never acknowledges Jing Yu, she can take this secret to her grave... and thus, avoid facing the blunder caused by her own selfish motives.】0

Seeing the spark of excitement in Madam Wan's eyes, Ji Fei really wanted to say: Sorry, but this secret is known to someone else, and she plans to let more people know.0

If it weren't for Madam Wan's relentless schemes against Jing Yan, causing such a commotion, Ji Fei wouldn't have dug so deep and uncovered the truth.0

Thinking of this, Ji Fei decided to take action. Her first instinct was to find her husband.0

Unknown to her, Qin Xian had already become her go-to person for solving problems.0

"Don't you think Madam Wan seems a bit nervous?" Ji Fei tried to hint, taking a roundabout approach.0

Qin Xian, however, couldn't bear to see his wife struggle and directly said, "I've had my suspicions for a while."0

Ji Fei: ?0

Qin Xian: "Perhaps, Jing Yan and Jing Yu's identities are not what they seem."0

Ji Fei: !0

Qin Xian: "We need to verify this."0

Ji Fei was at a loss for words. She could only respond with, "Really... really?"0

Qin Xian nodded, taking over Ji Fei's role in the drama.0

Ji Fei was left in awe.0

【Wow, Qin Xian is so smart! Looks like I don't need to help after all. I'll just keep enjoying the show.】0

The Qin Family, overhearing this, could guess the context and began to look down on Qin Xian's actions, rolling their eyes at the back of his head.0

Meanwhile, Jing Yu was momentarily stunned by Madam Wan's words. Although he felt she was still looking down on him and making excuses, her explanation saved face for him and spared him trouble.0

Jing Yu calmed down, knowing he didn't want to marry Wan Ru, as that would be beneath him.0

As long as he went along with Madam Wan's story, Mr. Wan couldn't threaten him.0

"That's more like it," Jing Yu sneered, no longer showing any respect for Madam Wan. Her heart ached even more, but she had no choice but to endure, only to find that she couldn't handle the situation completely.0

"Mom, what do you mean by that? How could you say such a thing about me?!" Wan Ru was furious, her eyes turning red.0

Madam Wan's forehead immediately throbbed with veins, the frustration of being unable to express her true feelings making her want to faint on the spot. It was a mix of anger, annoyance, and helplessness.0

Ji ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‍Fei couldn't help but laugh.

【Hahaha, Wan Ru doesn't understand that Madam Wan is actually trying to cover up their embarrassment. If today's events were to confirm Madam Wan's story, even if something were to be exposed later, it wouldn't be a fatal blow to these two fools. But they're determined to pull away this lifeline. Madam Wan must be on the verge of a breakdown.】0

The Qin Family also struggled to suppress their laughter: It's both infuriating and hilarious. Every cause has its effect, and Madam Wan's karma is her own children.0

For Wan Ru, all she knew was that her mother was belittling her, saying she wasn't worthy of marrying Jing Yu.0

Being told this by her own mother was unbearable. How could she not be worthy of a playboy like Jing Yu? And she had also realized that Jing Yu didn't want to marry her either.0

Her mother wasn't helping; she was sabotaging her!0

Madam Wan, in a panic, shouted at her, "Shut up!"0

Wan Ru, in turn, shouted back, "You can't just oppose me marrying Jing Yu because you hate Madam Xie! This is just you being selfish and gambling with my future!"0

Madam Wan hadn't expected her daughter to say such things in public, her face contorting with anger, yet she was left speechless.0

The onlookers were also surprised. Although they knew the relationship between the former sisters-in-law was strained, they had never heard that Madam Wan hated Madam Xie.0

Even Madam Xie was momentarily confused, looking at Madam Wan in disbelief. Although they had clashed earlier, it was over the children's affairs.0

Back when they were sisters-in-law in the Jing Family, they rarely interacted. Madam Xie, being the heir, focused on external affairs, while Madam Wan handled internal matters. Their spheres of influence didn't overlap, so why would Madam Wan harbor such animosity?0

At this moment, Second Master Jing, who had been standing in the background, glanced around with a slightly awkward expression. Since his older brother had passed away, he naturally couldn't tell his wife about that incident.0

The Qin Family was struck with a realization, immediately connecting it to the reason behind the child swap.0

Luckily, Ji Fei's thoughts soon provided the answer.0

【Tsk tsk tsk, back then, the Jing Family had arranged for the eldest son to marry Madam Xie. But Madam Wan, wanting to get the eldest son for herself, drugged him and got him to sleep with her, ruining the engagement plan. This was done on a whim, so Madam Xie and outsiders were unaware, only the people involved knew.】0

Qin Family: What? There was a love triangle in the previous generation?0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

【Although the eldest son had long been fond of Madam Xie, he couldn't resist the pressure from the family and eventually married Madam Wan. Madam Xie married the second son. Naturally, the eldest son and Madam Wan often clashed, with constant conflicts.】0

Qin Family: Of course, there would be conflicts. Who could accept being manipulated like that?0

But Madam Wan believed that the eldest son still harbored feelings for Madam Xie. With both of them working in the family business and frequently interacting, Madam Wan became even more suspicious and sensitive, convinced that Madam Xie was constantly enticing the eldest son's attention away from her. That's why she always held a grudge against Madam Xie, eventually leading to...
