Chapter 533: Has the Control Power Failed?
Is washing feet something a legitimate daughter should do?
If this legitimate daughter left by the previous wife were still a child, turned into a Servant by the stepmother, it wouldn’t be surprising.
The problem is, this Huilan is already seventeen years old.
Bai Renfeng, seeing Huilan completely out of her control, panicked: “Huilan, what nonsense are you talking about? When did you ever fetch washing water for Ah Mei’s face and feet? You sisters should help each other; how did you describe it as being a Servant?
Could it be that you know your sister has died and can no longer confront you, so you deliberately slander her?
Do you not feel that your conscience hurts when you slander a dead person?
Even if you were dissatisfied with her, remember the living and not the dead, what’s the use of holding onto this?”
Thinking of Ah Mei’s death, everyone suddenly felt that Huilan was in the wrong again. As Bai Yulan said, remember the living and not the dead; the person has already died, why still speak ill of her?
Thus, the looks everyone gave Huilan were filled with condemnation.
Huilan, seeing Bai Renfeng changing everyone’s opinion with just a few words, felt somewhat powerless: “It was you who kept saying that she was my sister, blaming me for not taking care of her, which made me reveal the truth.”
Bai Renfeng pressed immediately: “Did I say it wrong? You did not take good care of Ah Mei, you stopped working yourself, yet you did not advise her not to work, aren’t you still wrong? Am I, as an elder, wrong to point out these things?”
Mengyu could not hold back any longer: “This is ridiculous. Just now Huilan said, the two of them are about the same age, she’s even one day older than Huilan, why should Huilan take care of her? Also, did you and Huilan’s dad ever get a marriage certificate?”
Upon hearing about the marriage certificate, Bai Renfeng suddenly panicked: “This—”
“If you didn’t get a marriage certificate, nor have a wedding banquet, then you and Huilan’s dad are just cohabiting, you aren’t truly Huilan’s elder, what right do you have to lecture her?
Ah Mei was just someone you brought along, not her real sister, why should she take care of her?
She is already seventeen years old, already an adult capable of being responsible for her actions. Her death was caused by her own actions, what right do you have to put the blame on Huilan?
Does Huilan owe you nurturing gratitude, or a sisterly duty to Ah Mei?”
Listening to these words, everyone suddenly felt something breaking in their minds.
But now, reminded by Mengyu, everyone remembered that Wang Jinbu adored his daughter, would rather stay single than marry a stepmother who might mistreat his daughter.
But why did he easily accept this woman?
What’s more strange, why did the daughter he cherished for over a decade suddenly fall out of favor, and instead he favored the daughter brought by this woman?
What is most bizarre is that Mengyu is right, they did not have a marriage certificate or a wedding, yet this woman came to the Wang Family with her daughter and assumed a high-profile role as the Family Head.
But why hasn’t anyone ever doubted her becoming the Family Head?
Bai Renfeng found herself unable to respond to Mengyu’s questioning, and suddenly became furious with embarrassment: “What business is it of yours? Why do you interfere with my affairs? And—” she suddenly shouted at everyone: “Don’t be deceived by her, it was this person who knocked out my man! He’s still unconscious on the bench!”
She was very uneasy inside.
Because of her control ability, whatever she said was usually believed by others, if she claimed that feces were fragrant, everyone would believe it.
But today, with Mengyu present, people had already begun to doubt her.
What exactly was going on?
Had her control power failed?
