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

Chapter 23 Jiang Mianmian's Shock

Meanwhile, at Songheyuan, Jiang Mianmian was holding Xiao Le'an, who was exuding a strong milky fragrance, and she was overjoyed to see her precious granddaughter in her arms.

In just over twenty days, the little guy who was born with wrinkled skin and looked like a little red monkey has undergone an amazing transformation.

The originally wrinkled skin seemed to have shed a layer of red crust, turning into smooth and tender skin.

In particular, Xiao Le'an's cute little face has gradually become rounder and chubby, making people want to kiss it as soon as they see it.

Her forearms and legs were full of energy, kicking and thrashing about as if to show her how strong she was.

Jiang Mianmian's heart melted when she saw her adorable granddaughter, Le An.

Just then, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into her head, making her extremely excited.

“Oh, Cuiyun, let me find a painter.”

Jiang Mianmian said with great interest, "I want to use my paintbrush to depict Le'an's transformation every day, so as to record every bit of her growth."

When she gets married in the future, these paintings will be her most precious dowry!

When Cuiyun heard the old lady's words, she was slightly taken aback at first, but she quickly understood.

After all, she knew all too well how much the old lady doted on this young lady, so it wasn't surprising that she had such thoughts.

So she quickly replied, "Yes, Madam, I will go and tell someone to find a painter."

Before she finished speaking, Cuiyun walked briskly out of the house to make arrangements for the matter.

Jiang Mianmian gently shook the rattle in her hand, making a crisp and melodious sound, teasing the toothless little guy. She stretched out her chubby little hand and shook it weakly, as if she wanted to grab the rattle.

However, at that moment, Jiang Mianmian inadvertently noticed that the large characters that had appeared above her granddaughter's head were now flashing with a strange light.

She blinked, then looked closely and saw that the words "The real heiress's scumbag father," which were clearly visible before, had suddenly changed.

At this moment, as if by magic, it instantly transformed into another shocking line of text—"The cannon fodder female supporting character in the group's beloved heiress control group."

Jiang Mianmian's body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. Her face was filled with disbelief. She stared wide-eyed at the words and murmured to herself:

"Oh my god! How did Xiao Le'an... become so miserable? She helped Le'an escape her tragic fate of being switched at birth, and thought she could finally live a happy and peaceful life. But who would have thought that she would become a cannon fodder female supporting character? What exactly happened?"

Could it be that fate is deliberately playing a cruel trick on the grandmother and granddaughter? Jiang Mianmian cried out indignantly in her heart:

"What did my little Le'an do wrong? She was just born into a noble family; she didn't kill anyone or commit arson. What does that mean? Is it just bad luck for her? But why should my little Le'an be treated like this?"

Jiang Mianmian was furious; she refused to accept it.

Just as Jiang Mianmian was immersed in anger, Xiao Le'an, who was standing next to her, seemed to sense her grandmother's unease and resentment.

Suddenly, she stretched out her chubby little hand and tightly grasped one of Jiang Mianmian's fingers, while making a muffled "ah" sound.

Those big, watery eyes looked at Jiang Mianmian expectantly, as if pleading with her to help him change his fate once again.

The moment Jiang Mianmian's finger was grabbed by her granddaughter, her expression froze, her eyes widened, and her pupils were filled with shock and disbelief.

"This...this...this..."

Jiang Mianmian's lips trembled as she uttered a series of meaningless syllables.

She could hardly believe what she was seeing, and exclaimed inwardly, "My God! Have my eyes aged so much that I'm having such a ridiculous hallucination?"

Or has the whole world suddenly become so magical and bizarre?

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the unbelievable word that appeared before her—"possession."

how could be?

This mysterious and fantastical story, which only existed in legends, was actually unfolding vividly before her eyes.

What she found even more unbelievable was that she saw her eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Le'an's mother, Li Tingxue, being possessed by someone else!

Since that incident, Li Tingxue seemed to have become a completely different person. She showed no affection whatsoever for her biological daughter, Xiao Le'an, and could even be described as extremely disgusted with her.

On the contrary, she doted on her adopted daughter, who was actually Han Lanjiao's biological daughter, and treated her like a precious treasure.

Moreover, under Li Tingxue's daily brainwashing, even Jiang Mianmian's grandsons were greatly influenced.

Their affection for their adopted sister bordered on obsession; they would agree to and fulfill any request she made without hesitation.

However, what worried Jiang Mianmian the most was Shen Xiuyan, who was sent by the emperor to the south to supervise the salt industry, and he was gone for several years.

Every time he wrote a letter, the imposter would brush him off with various excuses, so much so that he was completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes that were taking place at home.

But later, after the children grew up, Shen Xiuyan returned to the capital and immediately noticed something unusual.

At that time, he racked his brains trying to separate his sons from his adopted daughter, but this move had unexpected consequences.

Instead of realizing the error of their own actions, the sons regarded Shen Xiuyan as an enemy who was destroying family harmony and disrupting their peaceful lives.

What's even more shocking is that they disregarded blood ties and acknowledged Situ Junwen as their godfather, and stood by Situ Junwen's side without hesitation.

In the midst of this chaos, Situ Junwen seized the opportunity to falsely accuse Shen Xiuyan of embezzlement, bribery, and abuse of power.

Because of the betrayal of his sons and wife, these fabricated charges were easily pinned on Shen Xiuyan. In the end, Shen Xiuyan was disliked by the emperor, dismissed from his post, and imprisoned.

However, fate seemed unwilling to let Shen Xiuyan go. In prison, he encountered a vicious murderer.

The murderer stabbed him repeatedly without mercy, leaving Shen Xiuyan seriously injured.

Despite the guards' best efforts to save him, Shen Xiuyan ultimately succumbed to his injuries and died tragically in prison. He never understood what had happened until his death.
