"Shen Fu, what makes you so special? You don't actually think you're some kind of noble lady from the Duke's mansion, do you?"

"If it weren't for this status, what right would you have to be the most noble lady in the capital, let alone have the chance to become the Princess Consort of Xuan!"

"Everything you have now is stolen; you're clearly a complete bastard!"

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

What does that mean?

Could it be that Shen Fu is not actually the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?

That's impossible!

The young lady grew up in the Duke's mansion from a young age, and no one has ever questioned her background.

Now someone is actually jumping out and saying that her identity is fake?

Shen Ting'an found it utterly absurd and coldly rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting? Fu'er is my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. How dare you slander her?"

Shen Xiucheng was furious, shouting, "My little sister is our precious darling, the apple of the Duke of Zhenguo's eye! We won't allow an outsider like you to defile her!"

Madam Bai immediately spoke up: "I can testify! I saw with my own eyes that my sister gave birth to a stillborn baby. The midwife found a baby girl from outside to switch them. She wasn't the real daughter at all; she was an imposter!"

Shen Fu's first reaction was not shock or doubt, but rather she found it ridiculous.

No one can accept that something deeply ingrained in their bones has been suddenly reversed.

Just then, a cold voice rang out: "No one would actually believe two liars, would they?"

Upon seeing the figure in black approaching, Shen Fu's heart stirred.

If he hadn't discovered the Bai mother and daughter's plan and informed them in time, they might have succeeded.

We really owe this to him!

They worried that Bai Shi and Xu Ruoyan's visit to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was not accidental, but rather orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, so they sent people to investigate secretly.

Does his return at this time mean he already has a result?

Upon seeing the newcomer, especially the menacing and terrifying black iron mask on his face, Xu Ruoyan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But since he was telling the truth and it wasn't just baseless speculation, he felt a little more confident.

"Who's lying? You need evidence to back up your claims!"

"The evidence is here!"

The man clapped his hands, and two guards led in a middle-aged man in his forties.

He showed anger as soon as he saw Bai.

"You shameless woman, you were unfaithful at home. I caught you red-handed. I'm just being considerate of you as husband and wife and haven't told anyone about it."

"You are not only ungrateful, but you are also ruining my reputation outside, saying that I divorced you because I favored my concubine over my wife, and portraying me as an unrighteous and hypocritical man."

"That's bad enough, but you even managed to trick your way to the capital and commit such a heinous act of adultery. How can there be such a promiscuous woman as you in this world?"

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.

So this man is Bai's ex-husband!

Bai had previously portrayed himself as so pitiful, a heartless and ungrateful man, which garnered him a lot of sympathy.

It was all a lie; she was the truly hypocritical one!

Xu Ruoyan clearly didn't expect the other party to appear here, and couldn't help but show a look of panic.

"father……"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.

"Don't call me father. You're not my daughter at all, but the child of your mother and her lover. I initially pitied your youth and innocence and didn't hold Bai Shi responsible for what she did, but I never expected you to be so bad at such a young age, actually helping to protect her. How can a bad bamboo shoot grow good bamboo shoots?"

The way everyone looked at Xu Ruoyan changed instantly, filled with deep disgust.

"Just now she was slandering the young lady, saying she wasn't the real heiress, but it turns out she's the bastard."

"The words of this kind of person are indeed not convincing. He is clearly just jealous of the young lady and that's why he's deliberately cheating."

"That's right, how could someone as lowly as her possibly aspire to the status of a young lady?"

Xu Ruoyan was so angry that she cried.

She told so many lies, and everyone believed them, but this time when she told the truth, no one believed her.

The Bai mother and daughter were dragged out like two dead dogs.

……

After returning to her room, Shen Fu couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle softly.

How could she have imagined that going back to her parents' home to visit relatives would also solve a problem?

Seeing the man who had followed closely behind, she asked, "Have you found out? Is someone behind them?"

"No, not at all. After being divorced, Bai was resentful, and her lover left her soon after. She and Xu Ruoyan were used to a life of luxury and didn't have much savings, so they set their sights on the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. You know what happened next."

Shen Fu was unsure whether to feel disgusted or amused.

If they can behave themselves, out of consideration for our kinship, we might be able to arrange a place for them to stay.

But human greed knows no bounds; they set their sights on the position of Duchess, attempting to tarnish their father's reputation.

Such a person cannot be tolerated!

At that moment, the man suddenly asked a question.

"How did you feel when Xu Ruoyan said you were a fake heiress?"

Without hesitation, Shen Fu replied, "Of course I don't believe it! I am a daughter of the Shen family, and that's a fact that no one can change!"

Could it be that someone who has lived two lives doesn't even know who she is?

This is absolutely absurd!

"What if what she said is true?"

Shen Fu suddenly looked up at him, her expression extremely solemn.

"Don't joke with me like that, it's not funny at all!"

In her past life, she fell in love with Jun Qiyuan, a devil in human skin.

Although her father and brothers were not optimistic, they changed their stance for her happiness and strongly supported Jun Qiyuan's succession.

What they got in return was the execution of their entire family, leaving them without a complete corpse!

She has always felt guilty and wants to do her best to make amends.

In this life, she schemed and plotted, winning over Consort Ning and the Second Prince, all to secure the future of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

She felt not only familial affection for the Shen family, but also a debt and regret from her past life—an unbreakable bond.

Seeing her so serious expression, the man's heart sank.

Actually, he didn't completely believe what the Bai mother and daughter said last night, but first sent people to investigate.

After investigation, the midwife who delivered Shen Fu's mother that day was found, and under some coercion, she finally revealed the truth about what happened back then.

Shen Fu—is indeed not a biological child of the Shen family!

He knew better than anyone the seriousness of the matter, so he wanted to use the Bai mother and daughter to bring it up first, giving them a chance to process it, but it didn't make any waves.

Even if he tells her the truth now, she probably won't believe him!

Shen Fu sensed his thoughts and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask such a question?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to test you and see if you'd fall for it."

"..."

She's not stupid, how could she possibly believe two liars?
