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

Chapter 13 The Anyang Prince's Mansion's Roaring Ambition

Jiang Mianmian was increasingly surprised as she looked at it, her mouth agape, as if she were a wound-up toy, mechanically accelerating.

[The Prince of Anyang's official lineage only had a dozen or so sons, but secretly kept over a hundred women in his residence. Situ Junwen and his son constantly forced these women to bear them children.]

The father and son had over a hundred children, all of whom were either exchanged or given away by Situ Junwen, and all disappeared from that mansion.

Their children were scattered in various places: some were thrown into orphanages, some into military camps on the frontier, some into wealthy merchants' homes in Jiangnan, and some into the general's mansion in Longnan.

His thirty-eighth son was the son of the Grand General who guarded the borders, commanding an army of two hundred thousand. "Father, the Grand General is dead; I will now expand your territory."

My nineteenth sister has become the second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and now commands 100,000 troops in the capital. Brother, although Father is gone, I will support you in achieving your great ambitions.

[My fifty-sixth brother has become the prime minister's son, and the civil officials support him. Elder brother, don't worry, I will definitely support you as your "own father"!]

[His thirty-fourth daughter became the wife of the richest man, providing him with financial support. "Father, don't worry, my husband has plenty of money to spend!"]

[The forty-sixth son was the son of the imperial physician, who poisoned the emperor. "You dog emperor, only when you die can my father become emperor, and I will become a prince. Who wants to serve you as an imperial physician in the palace? Die!"]

[He also had countless brothers, sisters, and children who supported him. More than twenty years later, Situ Junwen, indeed relying on the numerous offspring of the Prince's Mansion, finally became a domineering prince! The throne finally belonged to his Anyang Prince's Mansion lineage!]

[Holy crap, this is explosive! How could a mere lady of a marquis like me know about these secrets? What should I do? Should I tell anyone? But if I do, who will believe me...?]

Jiang Mianmian sat blankly in the chair, her mind completely blank. This matter shocked her so much that she just stared intently at the top of Situ Junwen's head.

No wonder, no wonder Han Lanjiao was able to successfully switch children in her dream; the Prince of Anyang's mansion was involved in this too!

[My God! Situ Junwen and his father are incredible! They had over a hundred children. Holy crap, even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to have that many. Although half of them died later, that number is still quite remarkable.]

[My goodness, the Prince of Anyang and his son are terrifying! They've cast a wide net, caught many fish, and then carefully selected the best to catch. Their scheme has been going on for over twenty years; they've truly gone to great lengths!]

Shen Xiuyan kept listening to Jiang Mianmian's rambling, each word so shocking that his head felt like it was about to explode. He was too shocked to calm his true emotions.

Instantly, he was so frightened that he stumbled and almost lost his balance, but fortunately Shen Feng quickly caught him.

Damn, those words sent chills down his spine, and the usually composed man almost cried out in surprise in front of Situ Junwen.

If it weren't for his usual composure and quick recovery of his mind, he might have revealed some flaws just now!

"Heh, what a wimp, Shen Xiuyan. You got slapped twice by your good mother and you're like this? Are you even a man?"

Situ Junwen said sarcastically.

“Whether I’m a man or not is none of your business. My wife knows, that’s enough. Anyway, I have four sons and a daughter, which is much more than you!” He stared intently at Situ Junwen in front of him and retorted.

At this moment, Shen Xiuyan clenched his hands tightly inside his sleeves, trying to keep himself calm. After a moment, he exhaled a long breath.

Situ Junwen sneered inwardly: "Shen Xiuyan, you fool, what do you know? I have so many children that your Shen family can't possibly contain them all."

His eyes flashed with disdain, and he didn't notice anything amiss with Shen Xiuyan. He didn't think much of it, assuming that Shen Xiuyan was dissatisfied with the compensation he had just offered.

Situ Junwen's face turned cold: "Shen Xiuyan, don't go too far. A manor, two shops, plus 30,000 taels of silver, that's quite a lot. People are never satisfied. Be careful you don't live to spend it all."

Believe it or not, if you anger this prince, I'll sue you for abducting my wife and daughters!

"And also, once I've succeeded, the first thing I'll do is raid your Shen family, exile you to a desolate place, make you work every day, never have enough to eat or wear, and eventually work you to death, you bastard!"

Situ Junwen smugly imagined the delicious food he would enjoy after he ascended to a high position.

Shen Xiuyan was unaware of Situ Junwen's true feelings; otherwise, he would have gone to the Emperor right now to report this inhuman scoundrel.

Hearing Situ Junwen's threatening words, Shen Xiuyan was not angry. Instead, he smiled.

"Oh, why is our Prince Shuo angry? I didn't say I was dissatisfied. On the contrary, I am very satisfied. However, I hope that Prince Shuo's compensation can be delivered as soon as possible."

Also, regarding the things that Prince Shuo just promised to give me, I hope you will write a document later to prove that everything you compensated me with was a voluntary gift to my daughter.

I'm afraid some people will leave this room and then change their minds and refuse to give it to me. Who will my daughter cry to then?

Situ Junwen angrily flicked his sleeve and laughed, "This prince is a man of his word. How could I be such a dishonest person? I don't even care about that little thing. I'll send the land deed to the Marquis of Xuanhua's residence as soon as I get back."

Upon hearing his words, Shen Xiuyan laughed and said, "Prince Shuo, don't be angry. Let's talk about the difference between a petty person and a gentleman. Of course, I'm only bothering petty people, not you."

Shen Xiuyan immediately had someone bring him a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and placed them on the table.

Although Situ Junwen was angry, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only write a document of voluntary gift, and Shen Xiuyan made him affix his seal and sign his name.

But as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around, his bloodthirsty gaze sweeping over Shen Xiuyan before he quickly left. The two burly old women behind him dragged Han Lanjiao away with them.

Situ Junwen, who left in anger, was completely unaware that Shen Xiuyan was staring intently at his receding figure, a smile full of profound meaning slowly spreading across his face.

He gently summoned Shen Feng and whispered two sentences in his ear, conveying his instructions.

Upon hearing this, Shen Feng's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he quickly arranged for men to secretly capture Ma Lingshu, who had just left the courtyard.
