Chapter 258 The Real and Fake Heiresses, A Series of Schemes Hidden Behind Them
The greenhouse was silent. Even though Fang Ke was prepared, she hadn't expected that the relationship between Brother Jia, Su Yao, Xiao Yichen, and Fang Manman would be like this.
Little B then became her mouthpiece again, excitedly repeating her thoughts.
"That's amazing! So that's how it is!"
"So this is the story behind the real and fake heiresses!"
"It was Su Yao who wanted to ruin your reputation and make you homeless. She specially found a suitable woman, and through Xiao Yichen's Mo Clan, she gave her a new identity and made her appear in the upper circles of Jingzhou."
"Then they found the right opportunity to 'expose' your identity, just to drive you out of the Fang family in one fell swoop, and to completely trample on you who had lost your status as a young lady of the Fang family."
"No wonder when you first arrived, host, Fang Ke's storyline in the original novel had already reached the point of certain death."
"Having lost the protection of her family, being blacklisted by several male protagonists, being tricked into taking out a high-interest loan by Xiao Yichen, and finally being framed and caught in adultery, it's truly a vicious cycle that led to her death. It's understandable that the original owner was trapped in this predicament."
"To escape this quagmire, only someone as powerful, unreasonable, shameless, and capable of tearing everything apart with their bare hands as you can emerge out of nowhere. Only your aura can stir up this stagnant water into muddy water, and only you can overturn the table with one kick, leaving everyone unable to eat!"
"...Are you praising me or insulting me?"
Little B exclaimed, "Of course I'm praising you, host!"
"It's a miracle that you could break through such a dead end with one punch, especially with almost no help."
"Miracle?"
Fang Ke read those two words aloud and gave a cold laugh.
"You flatter me. These people are still living a comfortable and carefree life, without suffering the slightest retribution. What kind of miracle is that?"
Fang Ke confirmed with Fang Han and Fang Yiling again the time when Fang Manman came to their door with the report. It matched the novel she had read before. It was indeed near the end, after everything had settled down, before the final blow.
Fang Ke remembered that when she was reading the book, the readers in the comments section were all amazed by this plot. They were all saying that letting the female supporting character be high and mighty and use her status to oppress others—finally, karma has come back to bite her! It turns out she's just a lowly poor person whose family background is even worse than Su Yao's!
Such a person has actually monopolized the identity of the Fang family's daughter for over twenty years, living a life of luxury and comfort. He deserves to die!
At the time, many commenters arrogantly remarked, "Fang Ke had such a great hand, and she played it terribly. I could have done better than her."
I wonder what these people would think if they knew that Fang Ke's true identity was that of the Fang family's daughter?
Will they die of anger overnight? Or will they be so unwilling to accept it that they curse even more fiercely?
Then she found the hypothesis boring. Without even thinking about it, she figured these people would probably say things like, "Even a real heiress would be played like this. She's so stupid and dull, she might as well die."
Fang Ke scoffed indifferently, thinking that some people are indeed born meaningless, spending all their time fawning on the powerful and belittling the weak, kicking someone when they're down, spreading rumors, and ganging up to bully others. In reality, they might not even live as well as a dog.
She just felt more sorry for and sympathized with Fang Ke in that story. If you really consider all the information you've received recently, Fang Ke is the one who was hurt the most.
Version 1.0 allowed for a carefree and unrestrained life, but it also left behind a huge pitfall.
Fang Ke version 1.5, whose identity is unknown, took on all the oversight for Fang Ke version 1.0. Later, she directly faced persecution from Su Yao and those men, suffering severe mental trauma.
Fang Ke in version 2.0 is back to clean up the mess, seemingly making a triumphant comeback, but after all that work, it seems she's only managed to get a portion of the timeline back on track.
Moreover, the satisfaction she felt from slapping someone in the face couldn't be allocated to Fang Ke at 1.5.
“If it’s true…” Fang Ke said in a deep voice, “The methods and harm that should have been directed at me were all borne by someone else.”
"You can't say that..." Fang Han knew immediately that her personal heroism and perfectionism had kicked in again.
"If it were you, that Su Yao would probably be slapped to the ground and unable to get up after her first move. That Yi Mohan is even more ridiculous. I don't know if he's taken too much brain-boosting supplements and is so confident that you're infatuated with him? Eat shit. If he bothers you a few times, do you believe you could send him to the battlefield as a slave?"
"..."
"So if you were here, this kind of plot would never have happened."
Fang Ke couldn't help but chuckle; the mouths of the three siblings were indeed from the same womb.
"I knew it! How could someone as outstanding as the new generation head of the Fang family be a fraud? I've watched you grow up since you were born, how could I not know?"
"What is that Fang Manman anyway? How dare she usurp your identity? She's been bullying me in my house for two years, and she even dared to set fire to my house, almost killing my mother and second son. What has the Fang family ever done to wrong her? Does she have a death wish?"
Fang Han looked at Fang Yiling, "Little brother, do you know where Fang Manman is?"
Fang Yiling nodded, and Fang Han sneered, "I'll leave this to you. I want her to spend the rest of her life in prison making amends for the life she stole that she can't afford to live."
Fang Yiling's eyes turned cold. "She'll definitely go to jail, but..."
As he spoke, a hint of hesitation crossed his face. "I'm still hesitating whether to tell Mom and Dad now. You know how loyal and sentimental they are; they probably won't believe me easily. Also... something's a bit strange. There's something wrong with Fang Manman and my third sister's blood. She managed to pass off several test results as genuine."
Fang Ke suddenly looked up and said, "A DNA test report? To get to this level, it really requires Xiao Yichen's work."
“…How do you say that?”
"Do you remember the imperial record you found?"
Fang Yiling, being quite intelligent, reacted almost instantly, and angrily slapped the flower trellis next to him.
"This is outrageous!"
Fang Han, "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"
Fang Ke shared the information they had found last time with her, and Fang Han, being very clever, immediately said, "In other words, let's not even talk about what power the Mo Sect has to control the verification agencies in the entire Jingzhou and make them issue false reports."
"Even if Dad doesn't do it locally and has to find an agency outside to verify it, the spies they planted in the Fang family will tip them off immediately, and they can still falsify the report before it's issued, so they made this scheme watertight."
Only then can one nod.
"Only the person who framed you knows how innocent you are. Ha, Xiao Yichen is really something."
Fang Han's voice turned cold, "Little darling, what exactly happened between you and Xiao Yichen that makes him hate you so much, wanting to kill you? I remember you two were quite close when you were little."
Fang Ke coldly raised her eyes and said, "He thinks I set up this, which caused his sister to be humiliated and sexually assaulted. Xiao Qin suffered severe mental trauma before, and her mind became like that of a child. She has only recovered to the level of a teenager now and has no memory of that disaster..."
The two people next to him were speechless.
Fang Han was speechless. "If that's the case... you can decide how to handle it yourself. I don't know what else to say."
"However, it can only be said that you suffered an undeserved misfortune, because you were not even there when it happened."
Yes, this happened during period 1.5.
However, Fang Ke said, "This couldn't have been done by the previous Fang Ke. She wouldn't stoop to doing such a thing. It's just that Xiao Yichen is convinced that we did it, and I haven't found any evidence yet."
"Now it seems more likely that Su Yao is the one who did it. Her scheme was quite clever. First, she made Xiao Yichen hate me, and then she joined forces with Xiao Yichen to besiege me."
Fang Han exclaimed incredulously, "That's fucking vicious! I'm going to confront this woman. As for Yi Ling, is she able to find the surveillance footage from that day?"
Fang Ke shook his head, "It's all deleted. The Xiao family searched the entire hotel but couldn't find it, and so much time has passed, it's very difficult."
"Do you have any other ideas?"
"I had hoped that Xiao Qin could regain her senses and remember everything on her own, but it wasn't that easy."
"Isn't this a bit cruel to her?"
Fang Ke sighed, "Yes, she must be happiest if she can stay like this, but isn't that a kind of self-deception? Besides, she can't stay like this forever. Some realities, no matter how difficult, can only become the past once you overcome them."
Fang Han remained silent, staring at Fang Ke's cool profile with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion).
If there's anything different about Fang Ke this time, Fang Han thinks it's that her omnipotent and extraordinary third sister has become more mature and humane.
She felt heartbroken and guilty for not helping him at the time.
“My dear, you have suffered… that child has suffered too.”
