Ever since Sheng Yunrong was surprised to find that she had the ability to read minds and could hear the Qin family's inner thoughts, she was immediately delighted.
Since fate has played such a trick on her, she will use her mind-reading skills to stay in the Qin family and take revenge on her philandering husband Qin Wenyuan and the cold eldest son Qin Fengyun!
As soon as she thought of this, Sheng Yunrong called her maid Xiang Zhu, with a look of determination in her eyes. She placed the housekeeper's card heavily on the table and said in a cold voice: "Go, give this card to Qin Wenyuan and tell him that from now on, I will no longer ask about the Qin family's affairs."
Xiang Zhu took the pair of cards, his eyes flickering, obviously surprised by Sheng Yunrong's sudden decision.
She hesitated, her lips moving slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally lowered her head and replied, "Yes, ma'am."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Xiang Zhu's departing back, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Qin Wenyuan, you betrayed me first. Today, I, Sheng Yunrong, will let you know the price of betraying me!
…
At dusk, Sheng Yunrong sat at the main seat in the dining room, waiting for the children to come and eat.
Her dignified face looked even kinder under the light, but the occasional flash of worry in her eyes destroyed the tranquility.
"Madam, the young lady is here." The maid reported softly. Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and immediately stood up and walked to the door to greet her.
Qin Huaiyu appeared at the door. Her steps were light and her face was delicate, but her beautiful eyes revealed a subtle indifference. She smiled slightly and bowed to Sheng Yunrong: "Mother, Huaiyu greets you."
Sheng Yunrong gently helped her up, her eyes full of love: "Yu'er, you are here, mother is very pleased."
However, the next moment, she heard Qin Huaiyu's inner monologue:
[This is the fake love again. I've had enough! ]
"Yu'er, are you worried about something?" Sheng Yunrong was surprised and asked tentatively.
Qin Huaiyu's eyes changed slightly, she quickly concealed her inner emotions, and chuckled, "Mother, what can I worry about? You are really too worried."
[Hehe, if it was Miss Lingmeng, I would have let her go back to her room and sleep! How could she be like this stupid woman and do so many nonsense things, it's so annoying! I wonder when Daddy will divorce her and marry Miss Lingmeng back! ]
When Sheng Yunrong heard Qin Huaiyu's inner voice, her face turned pale as paper and her eyes became cold.
Looking at Qin Huaiyu who said one thing and another, she was filled with doubts and pain. She didn't know what she had done wrong that even Qin Huaiyu had become so vicious.
Could it be that it was all because of that girl Ling Meng they were talking about?
Since they were so looking forward to "Lingmeng Xiaoniang" becoming their mother, she would fulfill their wish.
Let's wait and see, without the support of Qin Wenyuan's wealth, can Ling Meng still be so considerate!
At this moment, Qin Moyuan, the adopted son of Sheng Yunrong, tiptoed into the dining room. His simple clothes could not hide his eyes that revealed intelligence and tenacity.
Qin Moyuan's gaze stayed on Sheng Yunrong for a moment, then he lowered his head and bowed, "Mother."
Sheng Yunrong noticed Qin Moyuan's arrival and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
I remember that when I first entered the Qin family, Qin Moyuan was cheerful and loved to laugh. They could talk about anything and they were very close.
But ever since her eldest son Qin Fengyun and her youngest daughter Qin Huaiyu complained to her last time, saying that Qin Moyuan took advantage of her favor to bully them in every way, Sheng Yunrong became very disappointed with Qin Moyuan, and Qin Moyuan became estranged from her from then on, becoming more introverted and taciturn.
Qin Moyuan lowered his head and stepped aside, muttering silently in his heart: "Mother, do you know that Yuan'er has always been worried about you? Although you are cold and indifferent to me, I always keep you in my heart. I heard that my father had a mistress, and they conspired to keep you in the dark. I didn't dare to tell you, because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe Yuan'er..."
Is this... Qin Moyuan's inner voice?
Sheng Yunrong felt dizzy, her eyes widened, and she looked at Qin Moyuan in shock, with a storm in her heart.
After hearing the last part, the shock in her heart gradually turned into a warm feeling of being touched.
She never thought that this adopted son, whom she always thought was an ungrateful person, had actually been caring for her silently!
Could it be that the things Qin Fengyun and Qin Huaiyu had said against her before were all lies, in order to bite back? To make sure Qin Moyuan would never have a place in the Qin family again?
Sheng Yunrong was dumbfounded when suddenly, Qin Fengyun approached her expressionlessly and called her, "Mother."
"Yeah." Sheng Yunrong raised her eyelids and responded in a faint tone.
The teacup in Qin Fengyun's hand paused slightly.
Normally, this woman was always overly enthusiastic towards him, which made him feel annoyed, but today she was unusually cold towards him.
Qin Fengyun suppressed his doubts and said, "Mother, please have some tea."
Sheng Yunrong was worried about hearing something that would make her sad again, so she carefully took the teacup and took a few sips casually: "Sit down."
"Okay." Qin Fengyun suppressed his displeasure and sat down.
At this moment, a roar like firecrackers came from outside!
"Sheng Yunrong!"
Old Madam Qin walked in angrily, her eyes as sharp as knives, staring straight at Sheng Yunrong.
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, took a step forward, and bowed to Old Madam Qin: "Mother-in-law, you are here."
Qin Wenyuan followed closely behind, frowning slightly, but did not speak immediately. He just stood quietly aside, observing the confrontation between the two women.
"Sheng Yunrong, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly hand over the housekeeper's cards? You are the mistress of the Qin family. How can you change such important household affairs at will?" Old Lady Qin's voice was sharp, and her questioning tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
Sheng Yunrong still kept smiling and answered calmly: "Mother-in-law, this is to make the family home more peaceful. The housekeeper's cards are in your care, and you will naturally feel more at ease with all the family affairs."
Madam Qin raised her eyebrows, and became even more confused: "An Ning? Sheng Yunrong, do you think I am old and confused? You suddenly did this because you suspected that we put poison in the chicken soup you drank?"
After these words were spoken, Qin Wenyuan frowned and his eyes moved between Sheng Yunrong and Old Madam Qin.
Sheng Yunrong still had a smile on her face, but she felt a chill in her heart.
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? When the bowl of chicken soup was delivered this morning, it was already cold and I couldn't drink it, so my daughter-in-law got angry at Cuiying. Who would have thought that when this story reached your ears, it turned out to be a rumor that the chicken soup was poisonous?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin's face suddenly changed, and she thought to herself: So, she really didn't know that the chicken soup was poisoned?
If that was the case, why did she suddenly ask to return the housekeeper's key?
So weird…
