Chapter 13: Useless Teammate Rong Yiyi
"Madam, Madam!" It turned out to be Nanny Sun who came over. She went to the kitchen to bring soup back for Shu Wan. When she heard that Shu Wan came out alone, she was a little worried, so she came all the way here.
Rong Chen, who was about to show up, hid again.
"Madame Sun." Shu Wan responded to Madam Sun without changing her expression, hoping that Madam Sun didn't see anything.
"Madam, why did you come out alone? You are still injured. I will help you go back and rest."
"It's like this, the old lady sent someone to ask me to come over for something." Shu Wan explained calmly, "I was afraid that something urgent must have happened, so I came here alone, but I seemed to have lost my way, and luckily you, Madam, found me." Well, Madam Sun is her strong witness.
"So that's how it is. Then let this old servant take the Madam over there." Nanny Sun was also surprised. What urgent matter could the old Madam have at such a late hour?
"Okay, thank you, Madam Sun." Shu Wan thanked with a smile.
…
Here, Rong Yiyi was on pins and needles, pacing back and forth in her room, not knowing whether that idiot Li Zihao had finished the job. Thinking that it should be almost done, she ran to find Zhao.
She will make Shu Wan pay for it today. Wanting to be her sister-in-law? Humph, you’re just wishful thinking.
"Mom, are you asleep?" Rong Yiyi asked, but she knew that Zhao would not go to bed at this time.
"What's wrong?" Zhao was indeed not asleep. She was sitting in front of the diamond-shaped bronze mirror, looking at herself and saw that she seemed to have grown two more white hairs.
My son has already started a family, and now it’s time to worry about my daughter’s marriage.
However, although her son has gotten married, she is still worried. How can she feel at ease when several other countries are eyeing Blackwater City?
"Mom, I can't sleep. Can you accompany me for a walk?" Rong Yiyi wanted to coax Zhao out, and then "accidentally" discover Shu Wan's good deeds, making Shu Wan infamous and getting divorced and expelled from the house.
"It's late at night, and you're still interested." Zhao scolded, "Let Madam Wu accompany you. I'm a little tired." She was too lazy to move.
"Mom!" Rong Yiyi began to act coquettishly, "No, I want you to go with me!" She held Zhao's arm, determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.
"Okay, mother will go with you!" Zhao couldn't persuade her and had to agree.
"Thank you, Mom!" Rong Yiyi thanked with a smile, thinking to herself, let's see what Shu Wan will do.
Just as they were about to get up and go out, they heard a servant outside the door come in and report that Shu Wan was coming.
"It's so late, what is she doing here?" Zhao was puzzled. "Let's ask the lady to come in." Since everyone was here, there was no reason for her not to see them.
The servant went out.
Rong Yiyi was still in shock. Shu Wan was here? Why was she here? How could she come? If Shu Wan was here, how could she carry out her plan?
Where is Li Zihao? Could it be that the idiot didn't even see Shu Wan?
Rong Yiyi even wanted to kill Li Zihao.
While she was daydreaming, the servant had already opened the curtain and Shu Wan walked in.
"Daughter-in-law Shu Wan greets mother-in-law." Shu Wan glanced at Rong Yiyi and saluted calmly.
It seems that there is no time to go out!
"Well, Wanwan, is there something that brings you here so late?" Zhao really didn't know the truth. "If it's something, just send a servant over to tell them. Why bother coming here in person?" She thought to herself, could it be something urgent?
"It's not you, mother-in-law..." Shu Wan wanted to say, didn't you send someone to invite me here?
"Shu Wan, what are you doing here so late? You're disturbing my mother's rest!" Rong Yiyi, who was afraid that the matter would be exposed, was the first to point at Shu Wan and scream, completely forgetting that she was about to drag Zhao out.
Shu Wan didn't say anything, just looked at Rong Yiyi and smiled.
Rong Yiyi was inexplicably panicked, wondering if Shu Wan had discovered it. No, if she had met Li Zihao, why would she come here? Shouldn't she elope with Li Zihao and then be caught by him? How did she end up here?
"Yiyi, you are so disrespectful." Zhao scolded, and then looked at Shu Wan, "Wan Wan, you came to see me, but what's the matter?"
"Mother-in-law, you sent a servant to tell me that you had something to say and asked me to come over!" Shu Wan spoke with a serious face, looking at Rong Yiyi with a smile.
"I didn't!" Zhao was confused. When did she send someone to invite Shu Wan over?
"Ah? That's strange." Shu Wan replied puzzledly, "Aunt, do you know what's going on?" She looked at Rong Yiyi again.
"Why are you asking me? I don't know!" Rong Yiyi, feeling guilty, retorted subconsciously, but in her panic, her voice rose unconsciously, which betrayed her.
Zhao looked at Rong Yiyi strangely. She knew her daughter's personality very well, so she understood almost everything. This matter was most likely caused by Rong Yiyi. She called Shu Wan over in her name, coaxed her out, and made Shu Wan wait here for half the night.
"But the servant who brought the message to me said that it was you, my aunt, who asked her to invite me, and that it was my mother's order. Is that true?" Shu Wan asked urgently.
"I didn't!" Rong Yiyi did let the servant go, but didn't she tell the maid not to betray her, that idiot? "Shu Wan, I think you have done something wrong, and now you come to blame me!" She began to bite Shu Wan.
Anyway, Li Zihao must be in the mansion now. She wants to make a big deal out of this matter and then take the opportunity to find Li Zihao. That way, let's see how Shu Wan can argue.
"I did something wrong? How would my aunt know?" Shu Wan asked her with a sneer.
"How should I know? I'm just guessing." Rong Yiyi's eyes dodged. "Anyway, you're not a good person. Maybe you're having a secret meeting with some weird man!" She muttered unwillingly.
"Yiyi!" Zhao felt that what Rong Yiyi said was really too much. It was not right to slander her sister-in-law like that. Besides, it was also a shame for Rong Chen. "Apologize!" she said sternly.
"I don't!" Rong Yiyi retorted.
"Speaking of this, I remembered something," Shu Wan laughed, "So I want to ask, aunt, what were you doing when you sneaked to the back door tonight? You wouldn't be craving for snacks outside and asked someone to buy them for you and bring them in, aunt, which hand did you use to open the door?" She asked word by word, enunciating very slowly, and each word was very clear.
"What are you talking about? I don't know!" Rong Yiyi didn't know why Shu Wan knew all this, but she would never admit it.
"Wanwan, what... is going on!" Zhao realized that this matter might not be simple.
"You'll have to ask my aunt about this." Shu Wan said with a forced smile.
"Yiyi, tell me, what's going on?" Zhao turned her head and looked at Rong Yiyi.
"I don't know, I know nothing. It was Shu Wan who slandered me." Rong Yiyi screamed, "She was the one who had a secret meeting with a strange man, and now she wants to frame me!" She pointed at Shu Wan.
"Aunt, you didn't see it with your own eyes, so how do you know that I had a secret meeting with someone? I don't even know it myself," Shu Wan sneered, pressing on. "Could it be that you saw it? Do you know who that man is?" She had to make Rong Yiyi admit it herself today.
"Yes, I know that person is Li Zihao, and you had a secret meeting with him. Shu Wan, you are shameless." Rong Yiyi was already a little collapsed.
"Li Zihao? What nonsense are you talking about? This is the City Lord's Mansion, how could he get in, not to mention such a ridiculous thing as meeting with me in private? Are you confused?" Shu Wan asked with concern on her face.
"I didn't, I just knew that it was Li Zihao who wanted to elope with him, and I was the one who prescribed it for him..." She stopped talking abruptly because she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag while talking.
As Zhao listened, she realized something was wrong and wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
"Oh, really?" Shu Wan, who had finally achieved her goal, sneered and looked at Zhao. "Mother-in-law, what my aunt did was really unkind. She actually framed me, her sister-in-law. I remember that my aunt hasn't said anything to them yet. If this gets out, how can she talk to the good family?" She was making a blatant threat.
If she is not given an explanation for what happened today, she will definitely have someone ruin Rong Yiyi's reputation.
"You dare!" Rong Yiyi was furious when she heard her say that. Her mother's biggest concern now was to find her a good marriage. If she couldn't find a good family because of this matter, she would never let Shu Wan go.
"Do you think I would dare to do that?" It was the first time that Shu Wan met someone who had done something wrong and was not willing to repent.
"You..." Rong Yiyi was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"Enough!" Zhao shouted angrily and slapped him.
Rong Yiyi was caught off guard by the slap in the face and was completely stunned.
"Mom...you actually hit me?" She looked at Zhao in disbelief, tears falling uncontrollably.
Zhao also felt a little regretful in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. In today's incident, Rong Yiyi was the one who made the mistake first. If she didn't give Shu Wan an explanation, she believed that Shu Wan would be able to do what he said.
"Apologize to your sister-in-law now. If your sister-in-law doesn't forgive you, you can't sleep tonight and don't let me see you again!" She sternly taught Rong Yiyi a lesson. Although her tone was harsh, she was actually unconsciously leaning towards Rong Yiyi.
After all, Rong Yiyi is her daughter.
Rong Yiyi did act a little crazy and made Shu Wan feel wronged, but nothing happened in the end, right?
If Shu Wan doesn't forgive Rong Yiyi after she apologizes, then it would mean that Shu Wan is not generous enough.
However, Shu Wan did not think of forgiving. If Rong Yiyi was not taught a lesson this time, she might do something else next time.
She was lucky today, but what about next time? She couldn’t guarantee that she would have good luck every time.
Shu Wan has always been petty and not generous.
Shu Wan was already prepared to break up with Zhao, but he didn't expect that Zhao's stupid teammate Rong Yiyi would start giving Shu Wan kills.
