"What?" Liu was shocked. "What did you say?"
"The key... the key is not in its original place..." Qing He was shaking with fear. "I searched all the drawers... but couldn't find it..."
Liu's vision went dark, and she nearly fainted. The key to the storeroom was missing? How could it be missing? She had clearly locked it in the innermost drawer of her dresser... Could it be...
"Chen Weiwan!" Liu stood up suddenly, with a glint of resentment in her eyes, "It must be her! This little bitch! How dare she steal my key!"
Shen Ruorou was also frightened: "Mom, how come the key is with her?"
"How else could it be from her?" Liu grabbed the scissors on the table and frantically searched the room. "She must have stolen it when I wasn't paying attention! This little bitch not only tried to steal my property, but also my keys!"
Qing He whispered, "Madam, could it be... the old housekeeper..."
"Old housekeeper?" Liu stopped, thinking of the old man who always had a stern face, "He has disliked me for a long time! He must be colluding with Shen Weiwan!" The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed. She was so angry that she trembled all over, "Okay... Very good! Shen Weiwan, you have become too strong, right? You dare to plot against me!"
Shen Ruorou looked at her mother's crazy look and suddenly felt a little scared. She whispered: "Mom, what should we do now?"
Liu took a deep breath, a ruthless look flashed in her eyes: "What should I do? Since she wants to play, then I will play with her to the end!" She walked to the window, looked in the direction of Tinglan Courtyard, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Chen Weiwan, do you think you can take charge of the warehouse just by getting the key? I let you take it away, but you can't use it!"
Shen Ruorou asked in confusion: "Mother, what do you mean?"
Liu turned around with a strange smile on her face. "Do you really think there are so many treasures in the warehouse? I've moved all the valuables away over the years! Even if she gets the key, it will only open to an empty warehouse!"
Shen Ruorou opened her mouth in surprise: "Mom, you...you moved everything?"
"Otherwise, where do you think our family gets the money to maintain such a grand occasion?" Liu sneered, "That idiot Shen Weiwan, even if she gets the key, what can she do? She'll just be dumbfounded looking at a pile of junk!"
Shen Ruorou finally felt relieved, with a smile on her face: "Mom is still amazing!"
Liu raised her chin proudly, but suddenly remembered something and her face darkened again: "But I can't swallow this! Shen Weiwan made us look so ugly, I must make her pay the price!"
"Mom, what should we do?" Shen Ruorou asked quickly.
A gleam flashed in Liu's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "Have you forgotten? How did Shen Weiwan's mother die?"
Shen Ruorou was stunned for a moment, then she understood what her mother meant, and a trace of fear appeared on her face: "Mom, you mean...?"
"That's right!" Liu's eyes flashed with madness. "Since she likes playing tricks so much, let's spice it up! Let her also taste the feeling of being framed!"
Shen Ruorou looked at her mother's sinister expression and suddenly felt a little scared, but more excited. As long as she could make Shen Weiwan unlucky, she would do anything!
"Mom, what should we do?" Shen Ruorou asked anxiously.
Liu leaned close to her daughter's ear and whispered a few words. Shen Ruorou listened to her mother's plan, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Let's do it! This time, Shen Weiwan must be ruined!"
Liu nodded with satisfaction, the flame of revenge flashing in her eyes. Shen Weiwan, do you think you have won? The best is yet to come!
At this moment, in Tinglan Courtyard, Shen Weiwan was playing with the key to the storeroom in her hand, a sneer on her lips. Chuntao whispered beside her, "Miss, there's a big fuss going on over there with Liu. I heard they even smashed the dressing table."
Shen Weiwan nodded, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Well done. Let her jump around for a few more days. When she has played all her cards, it will be time for us to close the net."
Chun Tao looked at her young lady's confident expression and couldn't help asking, "Young lady, are you sure everything in the warehouse has been moved by Liu?"
Shen Weiwan smiled, with a glint of wisdom in her eyes: “I not only know that she moved the things, but also know where she hid them.”
Chuntao opened her mouth in surprise: "Miss, how did you know?"
Shen Weiwan smiled mysteriously: "Secret." She stood up, walked to the window, looked in the direction of Xiefangyuan, a cold flash in her eyes, "Liu, do you think you are very smart? But you don't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. Every step you take is within my calculations."
Chun Tao looked at her young lady's back and suddenly felt that she was both strange and familiar. She knew that she was no longer the foolish daughter of the first wife who allowed herself to be bullied. Now, she was like a sharp blade unsheathed, gleaming with cold light, invincible.
"Chun Tao," Shen Weiwan suddenly turned around, with a determined light in her eyes, "Get ready, we should go visit Li Xiu."
Chun Tao was stunned for a moment, then she understood what the lady meant and said excitedly, "Miss, do you want to...?"
Shen Weiwan nodded, a sly smile on her lips: "That's right. Doesn't Liu want to use Li Xiu? Then let's give her some explosive stuff, so that she will lose more than she gains!"
Chuntao said excitedly: "Miss, you are so amazing!"
Shen Weiwan smiled, her eyes gleaming with confidence. Liu, Shen Ruorou, your good days are over. This time, not only will I take back everything that belongs to me, but I will also make you pay a heavy price for what you did in your previous life!
The sunlight outside the window shone through the lattice onto Shen Weiwan, giving her a golden glow. A new storm was brewing quietly. And this time, the center of the storm would be Liu and her foolish daughter. Shen Weiwan knew that her road to revenge had just begun.
