Chapter 97: Cunning Woman



Fortunately, those past hardships are now a thing of the past.

All they have now is the upcoming reunion time for their family.

It's coming, it's coming...

The two brothers comforted each other.

Dishes of wine and food were served on the table. After the three of them had their fill, they put down their burdens and returned to Sheng's house together.

Xiang Zhu dared to open the door cautiously only after he saw that it was the three of them who had returned.

After the door opened, the panic on Xiang Zhu's face was fully revealed.

"Miss, two young masters, you are finally back." Xiang Zhu was so anxious that he almost cried out.

"What happened?" Sheng Yunrong had expected that after Old Madam Qin's anger subsided, she would definitely go to the prison to look for Qin Wenyuan. She knew very well that her previous words were just a lie. "Has Old Madam Qin come to the door?"

Xiang Zhu nodded angrily, tears falling like beads from a broken string. "Old Madam Qin came alone first, knocking on the door and scolding the young lady. She angrily accused the young lady of being heartless, ungrateful, and a complete liar... Then she gathered a group of people and banged on the door crazily. Fortunately, the neighbors stopped them in time, and the commotion was quelled."

"Neighbor?" Sheng Yunrong hurriedly lowered her voice and asked, "Has Madam Qin been invited in by a neighbor and why has she not come out for such a long time?"

"Miss, how do you know so clearly?" Xiang Zhu was surprised.

The lady is really smart...

Sheng Yunrong felt heavy as lead.

She groaned inwardly.

It's terrible.

Neighbors had seen her two brothers and also her.

If they revealed to Old Madam Qin that she had a close relationship with her two brothers, she would never let it go and would definitely take action without hesitation against this precious land purchased by her brothers!

Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately rushed to knock on their neighbor's door.

Fifteen minutes later, the two brothers returned home, and Sheng Yunrong asked nervously, "What happened?"

Sheng Hongye breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yunrong, everything is fine."

"Although the neighbor official knew about our relationship, he did not disclose it to anyone."

"He also comforted Madam Qin with kind words and let her go home on her own."

Sheng Yunrong was still confused, "Would he... be so kind?"

"Of course not." Sheng Hongye understood that although the neighbor was still monitoring them, there was no need to hide some things. "He mistook me for a palace figure with close ties to the royal family, and intended to use this to get closer to me."

Sheng Hongxiao glanced at him and understood that he was saying this not just to clear himself of suspicion.

Instead, they deliberately told their neighbors that they had nothing to do with the palace and that their purchase of this once barren land of gold and silver was all for Sheng Yunrong and was purely coincidental.

Sheng Yunrong instantly understood Sheng Hongye's intention. She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Thanks to the two brothers for their help, otherwise... my sister still can't get rid of the Qin family's entanglement."

Sheng Hongye stroked Sheng Yunrong's hair gently: "Sister, this is not your fault. Who could have expected that the Qin family would be so cruel and commit such crimes. Now that you have finally escaped from their control, they still refuse to let you go, and even brought a group of people to try to take away your only shelter."

Sheng Yunrong gently raised her eyelids and blinked her eyelashes. Gratitude surged in her heart, but a gentle smile bloomed on her face: "Brother, are you going to avenge me?"

"Of course!" Sheng Hongye looked at Sheng Hongxiao firmly, his tone was dramatic and exaggerated, but also full of sincere emotion. "Second brother is very smart, he will definitely come up with a clever countermeasure to make those people receive the punishment they deserve."

Sheng Hongxiao raised his lips slightly: "I have indeed come up with a plan. Since they are so cruel and want my sister to have nothing and not even a place to stay, then... let's let her experience the pain of being homeless first."

The eavesdropper hastily repeated every word he heard to the official.

After hearing this, the official slowly rubbed his fingers, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.

Is it just to help a woman who lost her virginity and brought shame to her family to take revenge?

What is so special about the Sheng family?

Not only do they have endless wealth to purchase countless properties and shops, but they can also protect a seemingly insignificant woman so firmly.

Are all the people of Western Wei so irrational?

No……

At least Madam Qin, a greedy person, does not have the extra kindness and righteousness of the Sheng brothers.

However...if they were so blinded by affection and had no connection with the court, and accidentally bought all the properties on this land, then they would lose their value.

Tsk.

It seems necessary to investigate the background of those officials who purchased other properties in this area.

It is necessary to create a chaos in the Western Wei Dynasty that is enough to cause civil unrest at a critical moment.

Only in this way can their generals defeat the Western Wei more quickly and easily and occupy this land!

In this way... everything in the Western Wei Dynasty will fall into their hands.

Officials lost interest in the Sheng family and lifted surveillance on them.

Inside the Qin Mansion, Old Madam Qin, who had failed to rescue Qin Wenyuan, nor break into the house and force Sheng Yunrong out, angrily destroyed everything she could in the Qin family.

She never imagined that this woman who was still in tears and terrified more than a month ago would become the culprit who destroyed their Qin family!

Thinking that the Qin family was now in ruins and her only son was still imprisoned with no chance of being released, she was so angry that she almost wanted to drag Sheng Yunrong out and torture her.

My son’s betrayal was an illusion!

The divorce letter is an ironclad fact!

Both she and her son were deceived!

They were all deceived!

Old Madam Qin could not understand Sheng Yunrong's motive for deceiving her, and she did not know that Sheng Yunrong did this just to let Old Madam Qin personally expose Ling Meng's evil deeds and viciousness.

However, she now fanatically desires the priceless property purchased by Sheng Yunrong.

She paced back and forth in the Qin Mansion countless times, but was always helpless. In the end, she had to ask for help from her son in prison.

When Madam Qin thought of Sheng Yunrong's mansion, she felt full of energy. She even rushed straight to the prison without relying on the crutches in her hands.

The jailers were already fed up with her being disturbed several times a day, and each time they asked her for some silver before letting her go. Old Madam Qin cursed the jailers in her heart, but Qin Wenyuan recognized her at a glance.

Thinking of what Old Madam Qin had said to him during the day, he was filled with anger.

"Sheng Yunrong, this cunning woman!"

Not only did she manage to trick the divorce papers out of him, she also tried every possible way to escape from under his nose, and even tried to alienate the relationship between him and his mother!

If his mother had not come to the cell in person to inquire about his condition, he would have almost been deceived by Sheng Yunrong, the cunning woman!
