Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 917: The Civet Cat Replaces the Crown Prince



Mr. Meng slapped the coffee table, his face livid with anger.

"Oh, well, I thought you just had a bad temper usually, but I didn't expect you to cheat on me! You even had the child?! I've been wearing a cuckold's hat all my life because of you!"

Hong Pei nearly kneeled on the ground, hurriedly stepping forward to explain, "It's not like that, dear, it's not like that, I've never cheated on you!"

"Then what's going on? Why is Wanzhi not related to me by blood at all?!"

Upon hearing this, Meng WanZhi stood there in a daze, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"Dad… What did you say?"

"What do you mean I have no blood relation to you?"

Mr. Meng glanced at her and then raised his hand to slap Hong Pei directly.

He slapped with full force, and Hong Pei stumbled to the ground.

She held her face, looking at Mr. Meng in disbelief.

"You actually hit me? I've never done anything to betray you, and you hit me!"

"Then what's this about? Explain it to me!"

Meng Xuezhi was also dumbfounded, not expecting so many things to happen all at once; she hurriedly tried to help her mother.

Mr. Meng directly shouted——

"Don't move, let her stay there!"

Hong Pei gritted her teeth and shakily stood up, seemingly ashamed to make such a scene in someone else's home.

But at this moment, she had no other choice.

"I really haven't done anything to betray you, Wanzhi she, she..."

Hong Pei quickly thought of a way to respond in her mind.

"I don't know how things turned out like this...."

She looked at Jiang Mingchuan, appearing deeply aggrieved.

"Did you make a mistake? Wanzhi was born after I carried her for ten months, and I even had a difficult labor and went to the hospital!"

Mr. Meng was calm now, carefully recalling things from decades ago.

Although Hong Pei was usually a bit unreasonable, she was still loyal to him, and she indeed showed no signs of being with someone else.

Back then, Wanzhi was indeed born after Hong Pei carried her for ten months.

But Ming Chuan also had no reason to pull this stunt.

Jiang Mingchuan sneered, completely disappointed in his mother-in-law at this time.

"Do you really want me to produce evidence?"

"Are you not aware in your heart that Wanzhi isn't your biological daughter? Yes, indeed, you did give birth to a daughter after ten months, but that daughter was disabled, and you knew she might not survive. So you secretly swapped her with another person's daughter, didn't you?!"

Hong Pei was shocked, looking at Jiang Mingchuan in disbelief, with "how do you know" written all over her face.

She had hidden this matter well enough.

No one could possibly know!

Back then, after giving birth to her daughter, the doctor said she neither cried nor made a fuss.

Her heart sank at that moment.

Because her condition was exactly the same as her son, who had died of a heart disease!

Their family had become destitute trying to treat their son.

She didn't want the tragedy to repeat.

At that time, there was a wealthy person who was hospitalized together with her and was pushed into the delivery room with her, whose child was also a daughter.

But that daughter was healthy and clean, pleasing just to look at.

Lying in the operating room, she had already begun to resent.

Why do wealthy people always have everything good?

Why do poor people like her keep being toyed with by fate?

Then she had a thought——

Anyway, their family was rich, maybe her biological daughter, once swapped over, could get treated and live a few more years.

Even if the swapped daughter wasn't hers biologically, she could still be used in the future when raised.

So she kept this matter from everyone.

At the time, medical conditions were limited, and she swapped the bracelets of the two babies when the nurse wasn't paying attention.

After all, all newborns look similar, and being just born, that family hadn't even seen their daughter.

Just like that, she deceived everyone by swapping out the Crown Prince with a civet cat.

She hadn't expected such a deeply buried secret to be revealed again one day.

Hong Pei stood there blankly, her face pale.

It seemed like all her sins were returned in that moment.

The surrounding people were also dumbfounded.

Mr. Meng truly didn't expect her to do such a thing, frustrated yet exhausted, sinking back onto the sofa.

"You, you, Hong Pei, what foolishness have you done?! That's our biological daughter, why did you swap her with someone else's?!"

Hong Pei cried, "Look at our family's situation, even Lai Fu couldn't be saved, could that girl be saved?"

"Absurd! Even if she couldn't be saved, she was still my daughter!"

No wonder Hong Pei never liked Meng WanZhi since she was a child; he thought it was because the difficult labor left her with a shadow towards Meng WanZhi.

He didn't expect there was such a reason!

And the hardest to accept the facts was Meng WanZhi.

She never expected the mother she had endeared herself to for over 20 years was actually false.

To have cruelly swapped her from someone else.

It felt like she was living a joke for the past 20 years.

Meng WanZhi's tears flowed down.

"Mom, why? Why did you do this?"

Now, Hong Pei showed no warmth towards her.

"You don't need to call me mom anymore; I'm not your real mom. Now that the truth is out, it's good; I won't lose sleep every night worried about this anymore."

Meng WanZhi never expected Hong Pei would say such words.

Clearly, she was the victim, yet Hong Pei acted so relieved.

Why?!

Meng WanZhi staggered a few steps, nearly falling, but Jiang Li was quick to support her.

"Third Aunt, now that the truth is out, you need to make a good decision, don't keep repeating past mistakes."

She whispered in her ear.

Meng WanZhi was a bit dazed.

Indeed, she had obeyed them all along, believing they were her family, thinking blood ties would hold no matter the grievances.

But now?

Haha, these people never saw her as a real daughter from the beginning.

To put it bluntly, they might treat a dog more fondly than her.

Meng WanZhi was completely disappointed, closing and reopening her eyes, looking at Hong Pei with intense hatred.

"Do you think once the truth's revealed, everything's all right? Ms. Hong, do you know that what you did was illegal, it's child trafficking!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Pei immediately pointed at her fiercely, "What do you mean? I fed and raised you, even found you a good family, and now you accuse me of committing a crime?!"
