FSC [QT] Chapter 120.1

“Ling Zhuo, just be proud. Sooner or later, you will regret it.”

Ling Wei and Ling Zhuo were old enemies. These days, being able to hold back her anger, try to please, and get close to Ling Zhuo was already her limit.

She had never been able to tolerate being ridiculed or mocked by Ling Zhuo. But she even had the nerve to joke with her these days.

Therefore, after Ling Zhuo put down her disguise, Ling Wei immediately revealed her true colors. She looked arrogant, pointed at Ling Zhuo’s nose, and scolded her.

“Do you think that if Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle did not expose your identity, you are really the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changping Mansion? You know in your heart who you are.”

With that kind of background, she was even worse than those maids who were born in the marquis’s mansion around her. How could she have the confidence to show off in front of her, the second legitimate daughter of the second branch of the marquis’s mansion?

For a moment, Ling Wei really wanted to ignore her grandmother’s orders and tell everyone who she, Ling Zhuo, was.

Knowing that the conversation could not continue, Ling Wei left angrily. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Ah Wu who was standing at the door in a daze.

“You!”

Ling Wei’s expression was stiff. Her shocked expression was like a ceramic mask worn on her face, cracking inch by inch. She didn’t expect Ling Wu to be outside the door.

She didn’t deliberately lower her voice when she talked to Ling Zhuo just now. Did the other party hear it?

“Seventh Sister, are you here to find Ah Zhuo?”

Ling Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling confused. She didn’t know when Ah Wu stood outside the door, and how much she heard.

If the other party knew about the conspiracy of her grandmother and their family and went home to complain to Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle, they would be in trouble.

No matter how cruel she was, Ling Wei was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. Her means and mind were still immature. When faced with such an incident, her first reaction was panic and confusion, and she couldn’t think of a way to remedy it.

“Yeah.”

Ah Wu nodded and looked at Ling Zhuo who also looked shocked.

Of course, Ling Zhuo’s mood was different from Ling Wei’s. She was just embarrassed that the words that she had just used to anger Ling Wei were heard by Ah Wu.

Would the other party really think that she would pamper her and treat her as a real sister?

Obviously, the atmosphere was so tense when they first met. She even threatened Ah Wu that she would expose her true face and drive her out of the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion sooner or later.

But in the end, the other party heard her saying that she was trying to curry favor with her.

Ling Zhuo was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

“I have something else to do, so I’ll go back first.”

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. The more panicked she became, the more confused she became. Ling Wei felt that she shouldn’t stay here now, so she bypassed Ling Zhuo and hurried to her room.

After bypassing a corridor, she happened to meet her sister Ling Ying who was walking back.

“Didn’t I ask you to stand guard outside the door? Where did you go?”

Ling Wei was not really stupid. She was talking about such a secret topic with Ling Zhuo in the room. The reason why she did so was because she had sent her sister to stand guard at the door before entering the room.

“I had a stomach ache just now, so I went to the toilet.”

Although she was the older sister, Ling Ying behaved timidly in front of her younger sister Ling Wei.

She covered her stomach and looked at Ling Wei blankly, “Did something happen?”

Ling Ying certainly knew what happened. In fact, it was she who asked the palace maid to coax Ah Wu with the excuse that the Sixth Cousin was looking for her so that the Seventh Cousin would hear Ling Wei’s calculations about her and act more carefully in the future to prevent being tricked.

She was not smart, but she was grateful for her Eldest Aunt’s kindness in the past. So, after thinking about it, she came up with this direct solution.

Seeing Ling Wei’s furious look, it seemed that her plan was successful.

However, she also annoyed this cunning and willful sister. She was afraid her days would not be easy from now on.

But on second thought, even if she didn’t offend her younger sister, her stepmother and Ling Wei had never treated her well, so it actually made no difference.

“You are a lowly b*stard who is incapable of achieving anything but always causing trouble, just like your mother.”

Ling Wei twisted Ling Ying’s arm fiercely. If she hadn’t been concerned that they were in the palace and that bullying her sister would affect her reputation if others saw her, Ling Wei would have punished her much more than this.

Ling Ying felt the burning pain in her arm, but she didn’t dare to make a sound. So, she could only frown and endure it.

***

“Why are you here? Didn’t you see the Third Cousin guarding the door just now?”

Ling Zhuo turned her head to look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and didn’t look at Ah Wu’s face anyway.

“Didn’t you ask me to come here?”

Ah Wu frowned, but after saying this, she figured it out.

“The Third Cousin is a good one.”

She sighed.

How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
