FSC [QT] Chapter 104.2

“When you made a bed and pillow, and someone cared for and comforted you day and night, I had already learned to chop wood and cook by myself.”

“When you complained that the food was not to your taste, I had to go up the mountain every day to find herbs and then prepare them in exchange for food to make a living…”

“All the material happiness you have originally belonged to me.”

Ah Wu opened her hands. The eleven-year-old girl’s fingers and palms were covered with fine scars, which formed a sharp contrast with the small piece of delicate white skin exposed at the sleeves.

“So, I don’t owe you anything. On the contrary, you owe me eleven years.”

Ling Zhuo was so unlikable right now. Just listening to what she just said, any person with a bad temper would probably want to beat her up.

Compared to the current Ling Zhuo, the patient girl in the memory was more likable.

After all, the girl had seen her identity clearly and knew what she had indirectly snatched from ‘Yu Wu’. She felt guilty and uneasy about it.

Unlike now, she was still a spoiled little girl, making so much noise that it gave people a headache.

“Liar, you are a liar!”

Looking at the dense scars on Ah Wu’s hands and the thick calluses on the palms left by years of pounding medicine, even the maid who swept the yard in Ling Zhuo’s yard did not have such a weathered pair of hands, Ling Zhuo’s eyes flashed with a trace of guilt.

But who was she now? She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion who had been spoiled for eleven years and was the only one in the world.

How could she easily accept that someone snatched her parents away and took her position?

Ling Zhuo continued to shout, but her confidence was not as strong as before.

“Hmph!”

Ling Zhuo met Ah Wu’s calm eyes, and some of the words she had prepared before could not be said. She glared at Ah Wu and then said something cruel: “Anyway, anyway, I will not give my parents to you.”

After that, before the maids caught up, Ling Zhuo ran away.

“Seventh Young Lady, should we tell the Eldest Madam?” The maid beside Ah Wu whispered in her ear.

Because Ah Wu had just arrived at the Marquis’s mansion and had not cultivated her own confidants, the people who were taking care of her at the moment were all sent to her by Mrs. Fan.

“No need.” Ah Wu shook her head.

The maid bowed her head and stepped back a few steps. The real lady was still kinder, but as Mrs. Fan’s maid, there were some things she couldn’t hide from the Eldest Madam.

***

“You said that the fake lady and the wild girl parted unhappily?”

When Old Mrs. Wu heard the news from her spy, a look of joy flashed across her face.

How did she say that? There was no way the real and fake phoenix could coexist peacefully.

This gave her a chance. Ling Zhuo was at her most confused and at a loss at the moment. If she could seize the opportunity to persuade her to stand on her side and stab the couple of the first branch while they still had some feelings and trust for her adopted daughter, wouldn’t that be great?

Most importantly, even if she did anything, Ling Zhuo would be the best shield.

It was reasonable and rational behavior for an adopted daughter to kill her adoptive parents out of jealousy, wasn’t it?

It had been eleven years. The assassination she had planned for so long had not been successful in killing that annoying couple.

However, what happened during the assassination eleven years ago actually gave her a new opportunity.

Old Mrs. Wu felt that God had not completely abandoned her.

“Go, invite the Sixth Young Lady to sit here with me.”

Old Mrs. Wu called her confidant and raised a smug smile.

***

When Ling Zhuo came to Old Mrs. Wu’s yard, she was in a very low mood. The words Ling Wu said during the day kept echoing in her mind, so she was a little absent-minded when Old Mrs. Wu was speaking.

“Sixth Girl was not close to me before, but you don’t know that I am the only one in this family who loves you girls the most.”

“This time you also see clearly that your parents only care about the Seventh Girl who just returned home, but have forgotten you. Seeing you become increasingly depressed, I, your grandmother, feel really bad.”

Old Mrs. Wu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, looking distressed.

“I wanted to say something. Sixth Girl may think I am trying to sow discord, but I still have to remind Sixth Girl that your parents are unreliable now.”

“As a woman, in addition to the love of your family, private property is also very important. You must hide the things your grandfather left you. Don’t give them back to your mother easily.”

“This thing is the compensation you deserve for being in the late Marquis’s arms for many years and seeing him off to his death. Even if you are not the real daughter of the Marquis’s mansion, what does it matter?”

“With this private property, you can be proud in your husband’s family.”

Old Mrs. Wu was so open-hearted to Ling Zhuo that she seemed to have forgotten that it was she who had instigated Ling Yaodong and his wife to take this thing back from Ling Zhuo not long ago.

“Dad and Mom didn’t even leave me this?”

Ling Zhuo’s expression became more and more sad and angry, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Old Mrs. Wu was very satisfied with everything she saw.

“Idiot!” After sending Ling Zhuo away, Old Mrs. Wu cursed proudly.

It was a pity that the couple of the first branch had spoiled her for eleven years, but she was easily shaken. It seemed that Ling Zhuo would soon change her mind.

“Idiot!”

After leaving Old Mrs. Wu’s yard, Ling Zhuo wiped her red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the plaque of Old Mrs. Wu’s yard, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and cursed secretly.

It was true that she was spoiled, but it didn’t mean she was a fool.

Thinking that this would alienate the relationship between her and her parents was so cruel and stupid.

But, thinking of the girl who said coldly that she owed her, Ling Zhuo’s expression once again changed from sneering to confusion.
