After dealing with this matter, Jiang An’s mood finally improved. During this period of time, other than filming an advertisement, she spent most of her time at home with the children.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were also very happy that their mother was playing with them. Zou Bai returned to the Zou family two days a week and stayed at the Jiang family’s house for the rest of the time.
The family of four lived a peaceful and warm life. Sophie, on the other hand, relied on the support of the Jiang family to become more and more famous in China. She was on the trending searches every day.
During this period, they even negotiated a business deal with Country F, which made a huge contribution to Country F’s economy.
Although she had not officially returned to the country, she was very famous in the country. Many people had a good impression of Princess Sophie.
Prince Henry and Prince John were disdainful of this. They believed that Sophie was doing this for her mother. She wanted to help Anne become queen.
They looked down on Annie even more and racked their brains to deal with their sister every day. The three of them fought fiercely.
Annie realized that something was wrong and was completely distracted by them. For a moment, no one paid attention to Sophie, who was still in China.
It was not until Country F’s National Day was approaching that Jiang An quickly called Sophie home to discuss. It was time for her to go back.
Sophie was not wearing the clothes that Jiang An had prepared. She was wearing a black dress and her hair was tied up high, clearly expressing her grief.
She could finally cry openly for her grandfather without pretending to be happy.
Jiang An gave her a hug first. “I think Country F will announce the king’s death soon, but I’m not sure if it’ll be before or after the National Day.”
“Is there a big difference?” Sophie was confused.
Jiang An lowered her head and thought for a while. “This is also my own guess. After all, Country F’s National Day requires all members of the royal family to attend. It’s fine to announce it beforehand, but if they announce it later, they have to hide it from National Day. This means that things would become complicated.”
“There are only two ways to hide it. Either tell the people that the king is seriously ill, or find a substitute.”
“Grandfather had his own double, and the two of them looked alike. It would be easy to hide without looking closely,” Sophie recalled.
Jiang An suddenly grabbed her. “Are they really that similar?”
Sophie nodded. “He looked like Grandfather to begin with, and then he was sent for plastic surgery. Add to that the fact that special effects make-up makes them look only very slightly different.”
This was bad news. Jiang An became anxious. She had never participated in such a competition for the throne. She could only put herself in the shoes of the heir to the throne and think about what she should do.
Sophie realized something was wrong. If there was no victor between her two uncles and her mother, they would not announce her grandfather’s death so easily.
Once this idea was achieved, they might very well do something that made the substitute pretend to be their grandfather.
Jiang An bit her lip and thought about how to deal with it. The two of them walked around the room. It was Zou Bai who couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled her back. “An’an, if it’s fake, it’s fake. You just have to think about how to prove that he’s fake.”
These words enlightened Jiang An. There was no need to think about how to deal with the king. The best way was to expose him directly.
“But if my mother and the others bite him to death, it’ll be Grandfather. Nothing we can say will help,” Sophie said anxiously.
Jiang An sat on the sofa again and closed her eyes to think about what to do next. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, “We’ll send someone to find the crown prince who left.”
“Huh? What for?” Sophie was surprised.
“Even if he’s left, he hasn’t been stripped of his status as the crown prince. As long as he stands up and points out that the king is fake, it will be very credible,” Jiang An answered her.
Sophie frowned. “What if my mother says he’s lying about the throne?”
‘I thought you said the Dauphin didn’t want to be king at all.’
“Yes. Uncle has raised the idea of not being crown prince many times before, but it was rejected by my grandfather.”
Jiang An smiled. “That makes things easier. The crown prince points out the fake king and announces that he would give up the throne. Who do you think the people will believe?”
Of course, they would believe the crown prince. A person who didn’t even want the throne wouldn’t lie about this.
Sophie understood at once, but then plunged into anxiety. “Where are we going to find him?”
The Dauphin had told no one when he left. No one knew where he went at all.
Zou Bai stood up. “Leave this to me. The Intelligence Network will find him..”
