Xue Zhilan came here today and laid the groundwork for a long time, all in preparation for the last words. Sure enough, when she saw Xu Ranyun's face changing, she knew that her goal had been achieved. Xu Ranyun's actions showed that she had such doubts in her heart for a long time, but no one said it out loud, so she would always hold on to a little self-deceiving hope and could not make up her mind to fight with Su Nuannuan. Today, she was exposed by me, and her self-deceiving hope was completely shattered, so that she could be used by me and follow the pace I arranged for her.
"Why are you telling me all this? So what if I see through it? Is there anything else I can do?" After a long while, Xu Ranyun's expression returned to normal. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, but his slender fingers were trembling slightly.
Xue Zhilan showed a sad look and said softly: "Why should I tell you all this? Haha! To be honest, I came here today to see you make a fool of yourself, but when you told me about Aunt Jing, I suddenly felt that we are in the same boat. Saying these words is just to vent. I know it's useless. In fact, these are not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is the children. Sister should not have forgotten what she did in the past, right? Why did Master send her to Meiyue Tower that day? It was because if she was not dealt with, I don't know what would happen to these children of Master. But now it's different. Master is completely bewitched by her. Even if something happens to my son and your son, I'm afraid he won't care..."
Before he could finish, Xu Ranyun said angrily, "Nonsense, this is pure nonsense. These children are my dearest children. How can you slander me like this?"
Xue Zhilan said sadly, "My husband is also my husband. Don't I hope he loves the children? But now the situation is like this, I can't help but think too much. Listen to what you said, sister, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Now the children love to run to Chunfeng Garden after school. That woman used to see them as thorns in her eyes, but now? She is so affectionate and gentle. Even my Maofan and Maosen now talk about how great the aunt is. It seems that she has forgotten me, their biological mother. If she really treats the children, I have nothing to say. I'm just afraid... she has evil intentions. A few days ago, Maofan and Maosen went to Chunfeng Garden. It was so cold. She actually gave the children ice cream. Do you think it makes sense? The children are greedy, but as a legal mother, she doesn't know the harm of eating cold things in winter? Especially the coldest things like ice cream. As a result, Maofan was fine. Maosen had diarrhea for half a night after he came back, which scared me... I almost lost my soul."
"There is such a thing?" Xu Ranyun was also deeply shocked. He stood up and asked, "Does the master know about this? Does he not care about it?"
Xue Zhilan sighed and said, "Sister, do you still count on me? Haha! I've said it before, I'm obsessed with my great grandmother. Not only does he not care, but Maosen said he even eats with the children. But I don't think my wife and the old lady know about this. I just don't believe that everyone in this family has been bewitched by her, right?"
Xu Ranyun's anger subsided a little. Finally, she heard something wrong in Xue Zhilan's words. After a long pause, she said softly, "Sister, didn't you tell Madam about this? What if that woman wants to feed the children ice cream again in the future?"
Xue Zhilan took up the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, saying sadly, "What else can I do? I am a nobody, so I can only be careful. Sister, listen to me. Ming'er has a wild temper, but he is also the son of a rich family. Sister, you should pay more attention to him. Don't let him be tricked by others without knowing it and let others win his heart. As for Chuan'er, Aunt Jiang has educated him well, so sister, you don't need to worry about him."
Xu Ranyun finally understood what Xue Zhilan meant, and was so angry that she almost yelled. However, she changed her mind and thought that no matter what, the other party was not stupid enough to let her take risks with her son, so she should be respected. How could ordinary tricks work to deal with that powerful woman in Chunfengyuan? As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. She would never sacrifice her own child, but other people's children. Aunt Jiang was originally her dowry maid. Without her help, could she be an aunt? Could she gain a foothold in this mansion? If she fell, her life would definitely be difficult. What if she helped herself?
Xue Zhilan saw Xu Ranyun's expression change again, and she knew that her goal for today had been achieved. The rest depended on what the other party would do. If she said anything more, it would be superfluous, so she stood up and said goodbye. After leaving Xia Yuxuan and walking a long way, she couldn't help but look back again, and suddenly laughed: "Grandma Yun's mood at this moment is probably very similar to when she ran to me and handed me the knife. It's a pity that the knife I lent out didn't hurt anyone, but let Grandma show off her power. Fortunately, the fire didn't burn me. I don't know what she can do this time?"
Long Yan beside her said, "Grandma, are you sure that Grandma Yun will follow your arrangements this time?"
"Just like I knew she was using me but had to do it, she also knows I was using her but has to do it. What else can she do? Can she watch the eldest lady take over the power of the housekeeper? If she really could take it easy, she wouldn't have done so many things."
Long Yan nodded and said, "Grandma is right. Grandma Yun is the one who loves power the most. Speaking of which, I really admire you. You just used a little trick to make Grandma Yun lose her composure. She thought that Grandma wanted to seize power, so she panicked. Otherwise, she would still be sitting on the Diaoyutai."
Xue Zhilan laughed and said, "Don't say she didn't expect it. You have been by my side for so many years. Didn't you not see my purpose clearly at the beginning? You thought I wanted to fight with Xu Ranyun. It's really funny. Now that the grandmother is watching me covetously, I'm going to fight with Xu Ranyun? Isn't that stupid? In this situation, the most clever method is to reap the benefits while sitting back."
Long Yan's face flushed when her master saw through her previous attempt to pretend to know. She quickly changed the subject and said, "But grandma, do you think Grandma Yun would really be willing to do something to Chuan'er? After all, he is Aunt Jiang's child. Isn't she afraid that Aunt Jiang will become estranged from her?"
"Why would she be reluctant? It's not her own child. Do you think she would care about Aunt Jiang's feelings? Haha! If someone now says that if Aunt Jiang is killed, the grandmother will die, believe it or not, she will definitely be the first to stab the knife. That woman is the most ruthless and ungrateful. As long as she can benefit, she may not even recognize her sisters and brothers. Why would she care about a dowry girl? What's more, Aunt Jiang is like a rootless duckweed. The only one she can rely on is her. Even if she hates her in her heart, what can she do? Unless she doesn't want to die, she will have to swallow her anger."
Xue Zhilan couldn't help but look back at Xia Yuxuan when she said this, then smiled faintly and said, "Okay, our show ends here. The rest is to sit back and watch Xia Yuxuan and Chunfengyuan fight to the death. Haha! I hope it will be a good show with constant climaxes, so that it will not disappoint my plan."
