Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Some Rejoice While Others Grieve
Unfortunately, just from their conversation, you can’t tell what they’re plotting.
Fly up to the branch and become a phoenix!
In other words, it’s about a marriage!
Without Mu Lin as the fiancé, they’re quite quick to find her a new match. And from the conversation, it seems like this person is someone she’s familiar with.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t say they’ve got the upper hand.
"Miss, why don’t we leave?"
Mrs. Wu looked at Sheng Xueyi, "Leave here, no matter where, this old servant can protect Miss’s safety."
Sheng Xueyi heard the words, but gently shook her head, saying, "Mrs. Wu, escaping temporarily cannot solve the problem forever."
"Even if we avoid them, can you guarantee that we won’t face other schemes in the future?"
"I will not leave!"
"No matter what they’re scheming, I won’t let them succeed!"
Sheng Xueyi’s attitude was very determined.
She came through time, with the knowledge of another world, and she has space, even reincarnated once. If with all this, she still can’t crush these disgusting people, then whatever fate befalls her, she deserves it.
Mrs. Wu didn’t understand Sheng Xueyi’s thoughts, but Sheng Xueyi’s will is her will, for she owes Sheng Xueyi a great debt.
Repaying kindness with kindness!
This is Mrs. Wu’s simple life philosophy.
"Mrs. Wu, I’ll have to trouble you for some time!"
"Before they leave, pay attention to what they’re conspiring."
"Know thyself and thy enemy, and we can remain invincible."
Sheng Xueyi looked at Mrs. Wu, eyes filled with earnestness.
Now she doesn’t have many people to rely on, Mrs. Wu can be said to be her number one capable assistant.
"Miss, please rest assured, this servant will keep a close watch on them!"
Mrs. Wu slightly bowed and withdrew.
Sheng Xueyi sat in place, her gaze always fixed in one direction, thinking about the next course of action.
...
Beneath the lively luxury, how much conspiracy and calculation is hidden, outsiders can’t see.
In the eyes of outsiders, they only see what others want them to see.
Yuan Shougui looked at the glowing and bustling Sheng Family Manor from afar, slowly turning back inside.
Keeping watch alone, it’s very boring.
He returned to the heated kang bed, curling in the warm duvet, recalling the hustle and bustle of family gatherings during previous New Year’s Eves.
Although many times, they couldn’t last until the time, at least everyone was home, it was lively, with snacks, playing around, even playing with firecrackers.
Firecrackers!
Yuan Shougui suddenly remembered that on this New Year’s Eve, he hadn’t set off any firecrackers.
Unfortunately, there was no bamboo at home, so setting off firecrackers was impossible.
Yuan Shougui simply got up, found a whip, and started swinging it in the yard.
The whip swung, cracking loudly.
When Yuan Shougui put down the whip, he felt his arm swelling and aching, evidently having swung with too much vigor.
...
After whipping, Yuan Shougui returned to the house, no longer in the mood for the vigil, turned off the lights and opted to go to bed early.
As Yuan Shougui slept, Yuan Pandi and Mrs. Li were chatting in the room.
The theme of the chat was surprisingly Yuan Shougui.
Of course, Mrs. Li mostly talked, while Yuan Pandi listened.
When Mrs. Li spoke with tears in her eyes, Yuan Pandi looked at her and said, "If you’re reluctant to leave the eldest, you can set off now to return to Shiqu Village, I won’t stop you!"
