Sheng Yueqing was a little worried, "How did Huang Nianyan bully Mrs. Sheng again?"

Assistant Sun said angrily, "Isn't it because Huang Nianyan couldn't stay in the countryside, so she called back to Kyoto to cry and complain?"

"But there are no more informants in her family in Kyoto, so no one can pass messages to her."

Huang Nianyan thought that her mother-in-law was deliberately preventing her from going back, so she held a grudge against her mother-in-law and called her to make her angry.

It is said that he also cursed Mrs. Sheng's lost daughter.

Mrs. Sheng's bottom line was her lost daughter; after the argument, she fainted.

At the time, Mr. Sheng happened to be not far from Shanghai. When Assistant Sun called, Mr. Sheng rushed back in a hurry.

Mrs. Sheng is currently in the hospital, and Mr. Sheng has summoned Huang Nianyan to kneel here.

He wanted to ask, "What did you say to your wife this time?"

How could he possibly make her so angry?

He knew his wife well; she was the person who least liked to argue with anyone in her life.

Even if the old lady argued with her, she couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

Huang Nianyan, however, always managed to make his wife faint with anger, which shows how awful his words were.

Mr. Sheng was truly disappointed in Huang Nianyan this time.

“Since you came to the Sheng family, we have never let you lack food or drink, and we have sent you to the best schools. Although your mother cannot love you as much as her own child, she has never mistreated you.”

"How could you be so cruel as to want her dead?"

"I really misjudged you."

Mr. Sheng looked disappointed. His adopted daughter had gone from being well-behaved at the beginning to having an increasingly strange temper.

It is said that during the rural reform movement, he bullied many girls.

And she even had the men from the countryside help her with it.

If it weren't for Sheng Jingheng's extensive network of informants, he wouldn't have believed that this was his usually well-behaved and sensible adopted daughter.

Huang Nianyan was surprised that he would look at her with a disappointed tone, and she was a little flustered.

He hurriedly explained, "No, Father, I didn't say anything to Mother. It was Mother who was so angry and upset when she thought of my lost sister."

"As you know, my mother has never liked me, and I dare not say anything to her."

God knows she wished Mrs. Sheng would die soon.

You should know that all the male elders in the family like her, only Mrs. Sheng, that old hag, doesn't like her.

Not only did they refuse to give her any family property, they also refused to give her any pocket money; they were incredibly stingy.

Even the hardships she endured in the countryside were caused by her.

She couldn't wait for Mrs. Sheng to die so that she could be in charge of the Sheng family from then on.

However, one cannot say such a thing in front of Mr. Sheng.

They still have to act innocent and pitiful.

“I called my mother earlier because I heard from someone that there were a few children in the village who had been abducted more than ten years ago.”

“The children looked about the same age as the mother’s missing daughter, and their features were quite similar, so I called back to ask my mother if she could see if my missing sister was among them.”

"I didn't expect my mother to faint after hearing this. I really didn't mean to. I just told her because my mother has always wanted to find my sister and these girls look somewhat alike."

Actually, she did it on purpose.

He just wanted to provoke Mrs. Sheng.

It was all because Sheng Jingheng transferred her to the countryside to suffer for his wife's sake.

She should have been living a life of luxury in Shanghai or Beijing. If it weren't for Mrs. Sheng's meddling, Sheng Jingheng would never have treated her like this.

That's why she called back specifically, hoping to infuriate Mrs. Sheng.

Mr. Sheng saw that she spoke sincerely, but he was not entirely convinced.

If it were in the past, he might have believed Huang Nianyan's complaints.

But after these several incidents, his wife fainted each time, which meant that things weren't as simple as Huang Nianyan made them out to be.

Moreover, after Huang Nianyan had been gone for a long time, his positive feelings towards her disappeared completely. He suddenly felt that she was not as well-behaved as before, but instead seemed scheming.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Since you make your wife upset every time you talk to her, don't call her next time."

Almost every time his wife got into trouble, it was related to Huang Nianyan.

Mr. Sheng even suspected that Huang Nianyan was a jinx to his wives.

I'm thinking that next time I should move Huang Nianyan even further away.

Sheng Jingheng also rushed back.

As soon as he returned, he glared angrily at Huang Nianyan.

But he didn't lose his temper in front of Mr. Sheng.

Upon seeing him, Huang Nianyan immediately put on a pitiful expression, "Brother Aheng~"

She squeezed out a tear, "I've missed you so much these past six months~"

She spoke in a pitiful tone, even showing her thin shoulders, wanting him to see how much she had suffered.

Sheng Jingheng, however, did not want to look at her.

He asked Mr. Sheng, "Father, how is Mother now?"

Mr. Sheng sighed, "He just fell asleep. I have someone watching over him."

The father and son went to the study together.

Mr. Sheng sighed, "Nianyan was quite well-behaved when she was little, but why does she always make mistakes as she grows up?"

He was so well-behaved in Kyoto, how come he's getting worse and worse now?

Sheng Jingheng felt that his father had come to his senses; everyone had been deceived by Huang Nianyan's obedient facade.

Now that I'm far away from her, seeing her up close again, I can see the scheming and calculation in her eyes.

"Or we could transfer her to the far north, thousands of miles away. They need some college students there to teach children to read and write, and Huang Nianyan would be a good fit."

Mr. Sheng sighed, "The climate there is too cold. I don't know if she can stand it."

After raising it for over ten years, I still have feelings for it.

Sheng Jingheng said, "It's just teaching; it's not like she's going to work in the fields. What's so hard about it?"

Mr. Sheng also felt that Huang Nianyan should suffer a bit.
