After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 197 Char Siu Son Luo Yuheng

Fortunately, Li Tingxue and Guan Lingshuang came to her rescue in time.

In fact, the two of them were also listening intently to the gossip, while constantly chatting with Madam Luo.

The group chatted about this and that, quickly warming up the somewhat awkward and quiet atmosphere, with bursts of laughter filling the air!

Their words did not arouse Jiang Mianmian's suspicion in the slightest.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was engrossed in reading Madam Luo's plot analysis, paying no attention to what was happening around her.

However, the plot analysis content captured her attention and captivated her.

As for what topics they were discussing, whether they had logical coherence, or whether they were talking about random things or not, Jiang Mianmian didn't pay any attention at all.

At this moment, all she could see were the fascinating plot interpretations.

【Ahhhhh...that was terrifying! Thank goodness I was pregnant at the time, otherwise...】

Thinking back to that horrifying scene, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but gasp, secretly relieved:

Thankfully, I was already pregnant at that time, otherwise...

Just thinking about the possibility of experiencing all of this herself sent a chill down Jiang Mianmian's spine.

At this moment, she felt that the Luo and Yang families had gone completely mad, willing to do such heinous things in their quest for a child.

Madam Luo tried every possible method, but still failed to achieve her goal. Especially after her father had an illegitimate son, Luo Yuchuan, the Yang family and Madam Luo became increasingly anxious.

Therefore, Madam Luo and the Yang family even spent a lot of money to buy back several women from outside.

These women are no ordinary women; they were all carefully selected and are all capable of bearing children.

Madam Luo secretly brought these women into her mansion to train them, waiting for them to give birth to male infants so that she could adopt the children into her own household.

This whole thing was done secretly, without Luo's father's knowledge.

But who could have predicted that at this critical juncture, Madam Luo and the Yang family would unexpectedly learn a shocking secret from the physician who left the Luo residence.

It turns out that it wasn't Madam Luo who had a problem with fertility; the real reason women had difficulty conceiving was Madam Luo's father, who was injured in an accident.

That's why the doctor didn't dare tell his father and could only find an excuse to leave the Luo residence.

Realizing what had happened, Madam Luo covered her face with her hands and wept bitterly.

The grievances she had endured for so long were like a heavy mountain pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. Now that the mountain had finally been removed, she felt that the injustice she had been carrying could finally be washed away.

The whispers and harsh words directed at her from the outside world still seemed to echo in her ears—such hurtful things as being called a "hen that doesn't lay eggs"—but now she knew the truth.

Although Madam Luo already knew the secret of her father's infertility, she could not confront him face-to-face and reveal the truth.

Because she was well aware of the stakes involved, if she acted rashly, it could cause a huge uproar in the Luo and Yang families, and might even lead to the breakdown of the relationship between the two families.

Therefore, she chose to keep this secret to herself and continue to help her father keep it a secret.

Unless one day the relationship between her and her husband truly reaches an irreparable point, and Luo's father and the Yang family also break off all ties, she must continue to pretend to be unaware and let this matter fade away unresolved.

However, the Yang family began to have doubts about Luo Yuchuan's parentage. They secretly wondered if Luo Yuchuan was really his father's biological son.

With these questions in mind, the Yang family launched a series of covert investigations. After much effort, they finally concluded that Luo Yuchuan was indeed Luo's father's bloodline.

The Yang family then asked the doctor, who knew the truth and revealed that Luo's father was not completely infertile, but the chances of him getting a woman to conceive were extremely slim.

The Yang family: "..."

Madam Luo and the Yang family couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief, secretly marveling: Luo Yuchuan's mother is so lucky, she actually managed to get pregnant with Luo's father's child!

It was precisely for this reason that Luo Yuchuan's biological mother later encountered that accident, which led to her tragic death.

Perhaps it's a cruel twist of fate, or perhaps a deeper conspiracy is lurking behind it all...

If Luo's father knew the true state of his body and understood that Luo Yuchuan's mother was still able to conceive under such difficult circumstances, then without a doubt, his mother would receive Luo's father's high attention and importance.

This would inevitably pose a serious threat to Madam Luo's current status.

After all, there can only be one position as the principal wife of the Luo family, and the favor of one more person means the loss of power for the other.

Therefore, in order to ensure everything goes smoothly, to stabilize Madam Luo's position, and to ensure that the Yang family can continue to benefit from Luo's father.

Then Luo Yuchuan's biological mother absolutely could not continue living; the only option was to arrange a sudden "accident" for her.

Jiang Mianmian: "........."

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's incredibly ruthless!"

At this moment, Madam Luo Yuchuan's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and her face turned extremely pale. She looked at Guan Ling Shuang with a terrified gaze.

Now she has figured it out and clearly realized that this girl named Guan Ling Shuang may not be as simple as the woman Gu Yun Chen likes.

Perhaps... it's a spy that His Majesty deliberately planted in this Marquis's residence?!

However, to be fair, Luo Yuchuan's mother was indeed unlucky. Although the Yang family harbored malicious intentions, their men hadn't even made a move yet!

However, she herself met with an accident beforehand, being struck and killed by a speeding, crazed horse.

Hearing this, Madam Luo finally relaxed, letting out a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Jiang Mianmian had told the truth, otherwise…

[I wonder how Luo Yuchuan will react when he learns the whole truth about this?]

[He probably won't react much. He's a paranoid; he only believes what he believes. Even if the evidence is presented to him, he might not believe what others say.]

Later, Madam Luo gave all the women she had bought to her father, who gladly accepted her arrangement. In the end, only Madam Luo and one of the women became pregnant and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Jiang Mianmian sat to the side, secretly enjoying the gossip, her face full of a satisfied smile, completely immersed in the joy of "eating melons".

Now that she had finally finished eating the "melon," when she looked at Madam Luo not far away, she suddenly felt it was no longer interesting.

So she casually chatted with Mrs. Luo for a few minutes. And so, this brief meeting quickly came to an end.

The moment Madam Luo stepped out of the Marquis's mansion, she seemed to feel much more relaxed.

She took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, as if trying to expel all the repression and unhappiness in her heart.

At that moment, she secretly vowed that from now on, she would never come to the Marquis's residence again.

Recalling today's experience, Madam Luo couldn't help but feel lingering fear. Jiang Mianmian was truly terrifying!

She thought it would be just a normal visit, but it almost turned into a nightmare.

Unexpectedly, before I could even ask anything!

His weaknesses and secrets were laid bare before Jiang Mianmian, leaving him utterly exposed and without any dignity whatsoever.

By the time Madam Luo returned home, feeling somewhat exhausted, it was already getting dark.

When Luo Yuheng saw that Madam Luo had returned so late, he went up to her with a puzzled look and asked, "Mother, why are you so late? Did something happen to you?"

However, when faced with her son's concerned inquiry, Madam Luo glared at him fiercely and replied irritably, "It's all because of that wretched Madam Shen! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be back so late!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuheng was taken aback, then said helplessly, "Oh dear, Mother, didn't I tell you not to go looking for her? Why didn't you listen? Now things are definitely going to get worse!"

"What did you say? Tell me!" Madam Luo was furious, biting her lip tightly as she glared at her foolish son.

“I’m not familiar with her at all. If I hadn’t heard what you said, why would I have gone out of my way to confront her face to face!”

I just want to understand that she's just an outsider who doesn't know anything about our family affairs. What gives her the audacity to make such comments and sow discord between my son and me?

But son, do you know what she said to me?

"What did she say? How...how could I possibly know?"

Madam Luo walked angrily to Luo Yuheng's side, plopped down, and then stretched out her hand, ordering imperiously, "Quickly pour me a cup of tea! You've really made me furious!"

After Luo Yuheng obediently complied, Madam Luo picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and, still with a resentful expression on her face, continued:

"Hmph, what else can we say? Your good brother Luo Yuchuan is already in jail. What can't be found out?"

It's said he behaved very well inside and confessed to everything he had done.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuheng was stunned into silence, his eyes widening in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Big...Big Brother really confessed everything?!"

"You've actually come this far... and you're still calling him 'Big Brother'? Have you lost your mind?"

Looking at her good-for-nothing son, Madam Luo was filled with disappointment and frustration, and she stomped her feet in anger.

"No wonder people didn't hold back when they saw me and mocked me, saying that it would have been more worthwhile to give birth to a char siu bao than to carry a son for ten months!"

At least a char siu bao can fill your stomach, but what about you? Besides making me angry all day long, what decent things can you do? Do you really want to drive me to my death before you're satisfied?

"Mother... please don't say that. I... I really didn't know the specifics before..." Luo Yuheng stammered, looking frightened and uneasy.

Although he said this, he still had doubts in his heart, so he cautiously asked again, "But, Mother, are you sure that my elder brother has told you everything?"

Madam Luo frowned slightly and replied impatiently, "I already told you, if you don't believe me, you can go to the government office yourself to find out."

But I can tell you in advance that your brother's case hasn't been fully investigated yet! Even if you go, they definitely won't let you see him.

As for the inside story, perhaps only Madam Shen, as one of the parties involved, could possibly find out some information.

At this point, Madam Luo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, secretly pleased with herself: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Jiang Mianmian. I really can't tell my son the truth. I can't just say it's all because of your cheat code, can I?"

This is a last resort for me; I have no choice but to let you play the 'bad guy' for now.

Although Luo Yuheng still harbored some doubts about the matter, the person speaking in front of him was, after all, his mother.

Moreover, even Jiang Mianmian said so, so even if he was unwilling, he couldn't openly go against his mother.

Besides, after half a day of processing it, he felt that he was gradually able to accept the result.

Despite trying to control my emotions, the sadness in my heart just wouldn't dissipate anytime soon.

You have to understand, he genuinely regarded Luo Yuchuan as his own brother! In fact, he had already secretly planned for the future.

Thinking that one day, when she could successfully take over the family business and truly become the head of the family, she would do everything she could to bring her elder brother home.

At that time, he would give half of the family business to his elder brother, so that the two brothers could run it together and share wealth and prosperity.

But this beautiful vision was ultimately nothing more than an empty illusion.

Ugh!

He was completely "deceived" by his closest relatives!
