Chapter 144 The Opportunistic Sheng Family



She has lost everything now, and the Empress Dowager's favor is her last straw. She absolutely cannot lose this favor!

Looking at Sheng Wanwan's innocent smile, Sheng Moshi's anger intensified. What right did this little girl have to so easily obtain everything? While she herself had to scheme and plot to compete, she could never compare to her.

"Wanwan, you're so adorable!" Sheng Moshi forced a smile, suppressing her jealousy. "As your older sister, of course I'll let you have your way. Why would I compete with you for your affection?"

Sheng Wanwan looked at her, a sly glint in her eyes.

"I hope what you say is true, sister! You must not try to slander Wanwan like before! After all, the whole family dotes on me now. If you dare to do anything to me, Grandpa, Grandma, and Father will not stand for it!"

"Don't you agree?"

Sheng Wanwan blinked her big eyes as she looked at the Sheng family.

Upon seeing this, Old Madam Sheng quickly smiled and said, "Of course, if your sister does the same thing again, just tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will definitely not let her off easily!"

As she spoke, Old Madam Sheng gave Sheng Moshi a warning look. Sheng Moshi is too ambitious; she might very well do something to Sheng Wanwan!

Sheng Wanwan is now their family's precious treasure, someone who will enjoy wealth and luxury forever. She can't let Sheng Moshi harm Sheng Wanwan.

Old Master Sheng also gave Sheng Moshi a cold look, his eyes full of warning.

"Mo Shi, be more dignified in your actions from now on. Don't be like your mother and always resort to underhanded and dirty tricks, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Sheng Lingtian also looked at Sheng Moshi with an unfriendly expression. Ever since he decided to stop following Prince Rui, Sheng Moshi's existence had been like a thorn in his heart, constantly reminding him of his past misery.

If it weren't for Mu Rou'er, perhaps he and the Chu family could have lived happily ever after.

Chu was beautiful and virtuous, and her children were outstanding. If it weren't for Mu Rou'er, how comfortable and fulfilling his life would have been!

But it was because of Mu Rou'er, that troublemaker, that he gradually drifted apart from the Chu family. Otherwise, why would he have gone to such great lengths to win back the hearts of the Chu family and the children?

Sheng Lingtian had forgotten that if it weren't for Mu Rou'er, he would still be just a lowly guard from a humble background.

There was absolutely no chance of using the Peach Blossom Sin to win over the Chu family's heart...

Sheng Moshi looked at the scene before her, feeling a pang of desolation. She had once been the pride of the Sheng family, but now she was an object of everyone's disdain. This fall from grace was hard for her to accept, but she knew that she had to endure and wait for an opportunity.

"Yes, Mo Shi understands." She lowered her head and replied, concealing the resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

Sheng Wanwan watched Sheng Moshi's reaction and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. She knew that this older sister was not truly submissive, but she didn't care.

If Sheng Moshi really changes, she won't know what to do with her.

As Chu watched this family showering Sheng Wanwan with such flattery, a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Ha... this family really knows how to change their tune depending on the wind.

They treated Mu Rou'er and her children just as well when Mu Rou'er had helped them before.

Now that Mu Rou'er is dead and Sheng Wanwan has become the Goddess of the Nation, they immediately changed their tune and fawned over Wanwan in every way.

What the Sheng family didn't know was that she and her children didn't care about the Sheng family's kindness at all; they couldn't wait to leave the Sheng family as soon as possible.

However, it will be soon; the intelligence gathered on the dark web is almost complete.

Soon, she will be able to present the Emperor with evidence of Prince Rui's rebellion, evidence of the Sheng family's collusion with Prince Rui, and evidence that Prince Rui and Sheng Lingtian conspired to fabricate false intelligence, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Chu family soldiers, her elder brother's leg injury, and her father's serious injury. At that time, the Sheng family will surely face the severe punishment of having their property confiscated and being exterminated.

And because of Sheng Wanwan, she could be quite certain that she and the children would not be implicated...

Thinking of this, Chu's smile deepened. She turned to look at Sheng Wanwan, her eyes filled with tenderness and pride.

Sheng Lingtian looked at the smiling Chu Shi and assumed that Chu Shi was happy to see the whole family reconcile. That night, he went to Chu Shi's room, intending to rekindle their old relationship.

As a result, he was severely beaten by the Chu family and kicked out of the East Garden.

Sheng Lingtian was grimacing from the beating and was furious, but as always, he couldn't do anything to the Chu family and could only leave in a huff...
