"Mrs. Lin!"
[My God, who dares to bully my Feng?]
"Mrs. Lin, look at my face."
Wang Xifeng, heavily pregnant, snuggled into Shen Ajiao's arms, startling Shen Ajiao so much that she took several steps back. "Speak properly if you have something to say!"
"Someone is bullying me!"
"who?"
Shen Ajiao was also very curious. Who would dare to bully Wang Xifeng? Did they have a death wish?
"My uncle!"
Shen Ajiao swallowed hard. Wang Ziteng?
Hehehe, do I look like an idiot to you?
Wang Xifeng: What nonsense is Mrs. Lin talking about!
"How did your uncle bully you?"
No matter how much I bully you, I'm not Buddha who can cover up everything.
“He not only beat me, but also made me move back to Rongguo Mansion, saying that I should pretend that nothing happened.”
[If it's just one person who's sworn brothers, who does he think he is?]
[A nose was drawn on a piece of paper; his face is so big!]
[The Ningguo Mansion is about to hand over its plaque, and he's doing the opposite, encouraging you to jump into the fire. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and you're that nail!]
Wang Xifeng sobbed for a long time; she felt so wronged. She was just sitting at home when her uncle came knocking on her door.
They accused her of being disloyal and unfilial, and cursed her entire family, saying there wasn't a single good one among them. If it weren't for her pregnancy, they would have dragged her to the Rongguo Mansion on the spot to kowtow and apologize.
"Mrs. Lin, I feel wronged."
Shen Ajiao hugged Wang Xifeng, who kept leaning against her. She dared not offend someone who was pregnant and crying.
"Madam Wang, your aunt has even had her imperial title revoked. What do you want us to do back there?"
Wang Xifeng cried for a while, then felt a little better. "What else could it be? My uncle certainly wouldn't think of me. Now the second branch of the family doesn't even have anyone in charge. He's just looking to send us back to be the victims."
"Pah, don't you even look in the mirror? The abacus beads are practically jumping onto my face."
Wang Xifeng felt much better after venting her anger. Finally, she said, "At worst, I'll just go back. But I don't want the plaque of Rongguo Mansion anymore. Anyway, Ningguo Mansion has already handed it over. What do I have to be afraid of?"
Shen Ajiao couldn't say a word as she watched Wang Xifeng scold each member of the Wang family, drink three cups of water, and go to the toilet four times, and she still hadn't finished telling the story.
"Mrs. Lin, you don't know how my aunt looks at me. I'm like a piece of stone that can't be presented on the table, not even as good as a stone."
Wang Xifeng recalled how Prince Teng and his wife, Zhen Shi, had visited her home with their entourage, and the way they looked at her was as if they were looking at something repulsive.
Her uncle reprimanded her, Zhen Shi disliked her, and Wang Shi scolded her—all of which were her fault. In the end, she even wanted to tell others that the usury was actually her idea, so that the birth mother of the empress in the palace could not be accused of such a crime.
They even made her take the blame for kicking the sick Tan Chun out; they're inhuman! How could they say such things?
"Not human!"
Seeing Wang Xifeng gritting her teeth and viciously cursing everyone, still not satisfied, Shen Ajiao feared that her anger would harm the baby in her womb.
"Calm down. They're just desperate. Aside from verbal threats, have they caused any real harm?"
Wang Xifeng thought for a moment and realized she didn't. Suddenly, she felt stupid for being so easily intimidated by their words. "If she has the guts, let's fight to the death! I'm not afraid of her!"
“When I was on good terms with her a couple of years ago, I was in charge of the Rongguo Duke’s Mansion. There were some things I turned a blind eye to, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t know. You think my good aunt took the money only for Yuan Chun in the palace? No, it was also for my good uncle.”
Wang Xifeng approached Shen Ajiao and said, "Mrs. Lin, you don't know, but the Zhen family can't even come up with five thousand taels. The Zhen family is so anxious to support my good aunt, just so she can get her to give her the money so she can help the Zhen family save Zhen Yingjia. Does everyone know that?"
Shen Ajiao... only now did she realize that Wang Ziteng's wife was from the Zhen family.
【I have no idea……】
Wang Xifeng got excited and said, "Mrs. Lin doesn't know, but the Imperial Concubine in the palace was brought back by the Emperor Emeritus when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, the Zhen family personally paid out of their own pockets to build a palace for the Emperor Emeritus to live in."
"But do you know whose money was taken out of that fanny pack?"
Shen Ajiao pricked up her gossipy ears, "Whose?"
"It was supposed to be a purse, but the Empress Dowager secretly transferred it to the national treasury as a loan. Over the years, with the Empress Dowager around, this money has become a dead debt. Now, somehow it has surfaced, and His Majesty ordered people to collect it. The Zhen family emptied their coffers but still couldn't pay it back, which is why Zhen Yingjia was taken away. His Majesty even said that if it can't be paid back, Zhen Yingjia's head will be taken away."
"Oh, is that so?"
Wang Xifeng looked disgusted. "Didn't Lord Lin tell you?"
Shen Ajiao shook her head; the two of them never gossiped.
"And now?"
Wang Xifeng sighed, "I heard that my uncle paid off a lot of the Zhen family's debts this time, but it's still far from enough. Think about it, the floor of the palace was made of jade back then, and the entire palace was built with real gold and silver."
“The Zhen family must be anxious, so they’ll try to take advantage of the Jia family.”
[Dismantle and get cash back.]
Wang Xifeng? Taking that thing apart would be a grave disrespect!!
Shen Ajiao looked bewildered. Wang Xifeng knew everything, so why was she being bullied so much?
Wang Xifeng noticed Shen Ajiao's confusion and sighed, "Isn't Yuan Chun going to visit her family in the palace?"
"I don't know how the palace allocated a sum of money."
“They all want this money, but none of them dare to take the consequences,” Wang Xifeng said sarcastically. “Then they thought of me.”
Holy crap, is this a moral decay, or a loss of humanity?
[This is inhuman!]
【I'll fuck him!】
Wang Xifeng sighed. What could she possibly use to fight back now? She had thought that her uncle would just scold her when he found out, but who knew he would actually give up on her?
They even claimed that Baoyu was Yuanchun's biological younger brother and therefore qualified to inherit the family business.
They took all the benefits, and in the end, they not only trampled on her but also cursed her for shamelessly coveting things that didn't belong to her.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng wished she could take a knife and chop Baoyu up.
"Then what's your solution?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng quickly took out two items from her bosom and handed them to Shen Ajiao, saying, "Mrs. Lin, take a look."
When Shen Ajiao took a look, she was shocked to discover that this was a handwritten letter from Prince Teng to Madam Wang, the entire letter demanding money.
There was also a promissory note with a high interest rate, personally signed by Madam Wang. The price was not high, only one thousand taels, but it was enough to kill Madam Wang!
[Does Feng have this trick up his sleeve?]
If Madam Wang and Prince Teng found out about this, they'd hunt me down to the very end.
Wang Xifeng smiled bitterly, so she didn't dare tell anyone about it!
She has no money now. If she hadn't taken out some money yesterday, the Wang family would probably have taken her away on the spot!
If you're not snobbish or influential, you might go to file a complaint and find yourself dead in the street the next day.
She would never agree to let the person who bullied her go like that!
She may lack ability, but she certainly has people she can curry favor with.
These two things today are her stepping stones!
