Chapter 684: Many Cheats 5
Jing'an Bo was obviously not the kind of person who would scheme against his wife. After hearing what Lady Jing'an was asking, he sighed and said, "What else can we do? Let the second girl take the initiative to come forward and admit that she plagiarized someone else's poem. It's better for her to admit it herself than to be pointed out by others."

Sure enough, Jing'an Bo chose the same method as Linlang. After all, he had already plagiarized, so this was the only thing he could do.

After hearing what the Earl of Jing'an said, Lady Jing'an knew that such an admission would have some impact on the reputation of the Earl of Jing'an's Mansion, but she couldn't think of a better way, so she could only nod in agreement.

At that moment, Earl Jing'an asked someone to call Shen Erniang.

When Shen Erniang heard that Earl Jing'an was looking for her, she thought that Earl Jing'an saw that she was being sought after recently and thought she had great potential, so he wanted to meet his promising daughter and praise her. So she went there as soon as she heard the call, feeling very happy.

As a result, when she arrived at the main room, she saw that the Earl of Jing'an had a gloomy face, and his stepmother, the Lady of Jing'an, also looked unhappy. Her heart skipped a beat, and she wondered what was going on. It didn't seem like they were praising her.

He glanced at his stepmother, Lady Jing'an, and wondered if this stepmother was up to something. After all, that's how domestic intrigue novels are written, and generally speaking, there aren't many good stepmothers.

Hmm... Is she unhappy because she sees "herself" writing poems and being so popular and glorious, surpassing her own daughter Shen Linlang, and may marry someone better than her daughter Shen Linlang in the future?
After all, in recent times, many princes and sons of the royal family have expressed their love for her. It is no problem for her to marry into a wealthy family. However, there is nothing outstanding about Lady Jing'an's biological daughter, Shen Linlang, so she probably cannot marry into a good family. Lady Jing'an will definitely feel uncomfortable when she sees this. After all, even if she were in his place, she would also be angry if she saw that her daughter could not compare to a concubine's daughter in the future.

What would happen if Lady Jing'an was unhappy with my life? She would probably want me to give those princes and sons to Shen Linlang. After all, there were many plots of substitutionary marriages in novels.

Let her get engaged to a prince first, and when she gets married, arrange for her daughter to marry him.

If Lady Jing'an really had this plan and persuaded Lord Jing'an to talk to her about it, it was no wonder that Lord Jing'an looked unhappy. Lord Jing'an probably didn't agree with her idea, so he was unhappy, right? After all, to Lord Jing'an, she was also his daughter. There was no difference between marrying her and Lady Jing'an's daughter marrying her. On the contrary, if she married someone else, she might even ruin her relationship with her in-laws. So it would be better for her to marry him.

If Lady Jing'an insisted on having a replacement marriage, it's no wonder that Earl Jing'an would be unhappy.

She had to think about how she would deal with it if Lady Jing'an was going to do this.

She didn't mind Lady Jing'an snatching her marriage for her daughter. After all, she was so famous now that if she couldn't marry this man, she could marry that man, so she didn't care about being snatched away.

Although it didn't matter, for Lady Jing'an, it was a perfect marriage. If she got it without any effort, it would be too much of an advantage for the other party. So, how should she use this matter to maximize her own interests?
Well, I heard that Lady Jing'an has a lot of private property. If she gives me more private property, she will agree to let her daughter get married...

The more Shen Erniang thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't help but smile when she thought that she would make a lot of money, become a wealthy woman, and still be able to marry into a good family.

Marquis Jing'an had no idea that in just a short while, Shen Erniang had imagined how many novel plots she had imagined. When he saw her come in, he wondered what she had thought of and she actually started laughing. He couldn't help feeling angry, so he handed her the collection of poems and said coldly, "Look at this and see if you have anything to say to me." Shen Erniang took it in confusion, wondering what the hell was going on. Wasn't she talking about a substitute marriage?

Hmm... "Poetry Collection", what is this? ...

Shen Erniang opened it and was shocked after reading it.

All the plots that I had just imagined disappeared completely. Before I even had time to feel embarrassed for having imagined so many ridiculous plots, I was so frightened by the poem that I became speechless, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

How...how could there be such a thing!

Is there another time traveler in this world? After all, if there isn't one, how can there be such a thing?

When she thought of another time traveler, she didn't know who the other person was, she only knew that the other person was watching her in secret, quietly watching her performance. He probably thought it was too funny for her to claim the poems of famous poets of all ages as her own, like an idiot. Then, when she was at the peak of her popularity, he gave her a heavy blow. Shen Erniang couldn't help but feel cold all over, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark.

Shen Erniang did not answer Jing'an Bo's words at that moment, but only asked: "Father, where did you get this poem from?"

She wanted to know who wrote the poem. As long as she knew who wrote it, she would know who the other time traveler was.

Shen Erniang glanced at the wife of Jing'an Earl and wondered, was this poem given to Jing'an Earl by the wife of Jing'an Earl? If so, was the wife of Jing'an Earl another time traveler? Was she deliberately watching her take the spotlight first, and then suppressing her? If so, this method was quite powerful, and she was afraid that she would not be able to fight against it.

——At this time, her thoughts were still limited to the family fights and the imagined plot of the stepmother harming the concubine's daughter. She had completely forgotten that when she came in before, she had imagined a lot of things and then got slapped in the face. Obviously, she didn't learn her lesson.

Moreover, she did not think about it. Lady Jing'an was the mistress of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion. Why would she watch her make a fool of herself without stopping her, and wait until she was in the limelight before suppressing her? Didn't she think that doing so would be harmful to the Jing'an Marquis's mansion and Lady Jing'an Marquis's mansion, so it was impossible for Lady Jing'an Marquis to do something?
However, Jing'an Bo's words clearly slapped her in the face again. Jing'an Bo did not ignore her question, but said: "A beggar gave it to me. I don't know who brought it."

Then he asked, "You copied those poems from this book, didn't you?"

Hearing Jing'an Bo's question, Shen Erniang could no longer hold back and immediately knelt down and said, "My daughter... My daughter also saw a book of poems like this and thought no one knew about it, so she copied it and said that it was written by herself. My daughter didn't expect that someone else had this book of poems, so it was not intentional..."

She had no choice but to admit it. When she thought that this book of poetry was actually sent by a secret person and not given to Jing'an Earl by his wife, Shen Erniang became a little scared. After all, if she denied it, what the secret person might do would be something she would not be able to handle.
