FSC [QT] Chapter 119.3

Ling Zhuo twitched his lips and said: “And have you forgotten the relationship between you and me before Ling Wu came back?”

“Why should I believe that a cousin who used to be jealous of me and privately criticized me would unexpectedly care about me after something happened to me?”

“Don’t look at me like a pitiful creature. I’m not pitiful at all.”

“Think about it. I was born in a poor family, but I have enjoyed eleven years of wealth and splendor in the Marquis’ Mansion. If nothing unexpected happens, given my parents’ love for me, I can enjoy this splendor for decades more.”

“Even if my identity is exposed in the future, my parents will choose a good marriage for me. Either a son of a poor family or a wealthy man, with the private property of my grandfather that my parents promised to leave to me, I will live a good life for the rest of my life.”

“I’m really not pitiful at all. On the contrary, I’m so lucky.”

“As for Ling Wu, she has a temperament that doesn’t care about others until her bottom line is touched. She doesn’t mind that I have been eating and drinking for free, taking advantage of her for eleven years, and robbing her parents for eleven years. Have I nothing better to do than to fight with her and force her to argue with me?”

Having been sisters for eleven years, just as Ling Wei understood Ling Zhuo, Ling Zhuo also understood her.

This cousin was the most petty.

“I’m afraid you will be disappointed. Not only will I not fight with her as you guessed, but on the contrary, I will also try my best to make friends with her.”

“My parents will think that I am sensible and will love me even more. When I get married in the future, on top of the original dowry, my parents will give me a thick layer of private property.”

“Tell me, shouldn’t I pay more attention to her, love her, and coax her into obedience, so she treats me as her own sister?”

Ling Zhuo was just trying to provoke her and transfer all of Ling Wei’s jealousy onto herself.

Because Ling Zhuo felt that Ling Wu had lived in the countryside for many years and might be unfamiliar with some of the methods used in the big mansions.

Now she was in the palace and there were no maids or servants assigned to her by her mother. Once Ling Wei made a move on her, she might be easily tricked.

Instead of this, it would be better to let Ling Wei vent her anger on her. She still had some confidence in dealing with someone of Ling Wei’s level.

You had to know that Mrs. Xiao Wu was a short-sighted person. When Ling Wei’s biological sister, Ling Ping, the second daughter of the second branch of the marquis’s mansion, got married, it was from the public money that provided her dowry.

But even so, Mrs. Xiao Wu, her biological mother, was still stingy. She looted some good things into her own private treasury and then filled the dowry with some large decorations that took up space and were worthless, not to mention adding some private room on top.

In the end, all Ling Ping got was a dowry that was glamorous on the outside but empty on the inside. Because of this, Ling Ping was looked down upon by her husband’s family for a long time.

This incident became a joke in the Marquis of Changping Mansion. Mrs. Xiao Wu’s behavior was severely reprimanded by her mother-in-law, Old Mrs. Wu, afterward.

But the mistake had been made and nothing could be done to change it.

Because of her elder sister’s experience, Ling Wei was also very sensitive about dowry and money. Hearing Ling Zhuo talking about dowry all the time, Ling Wei was almost going crazy.

It would be fine if Ling Wu had those, after all, she was the legitimate daughter of a marquis. But what right did Ling Zhuo have?

Ling Wei thought of the private property left by her grandfather and looked at Ling Zhuo with eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive. She no longer remembered the previous plan.

Ah Wu was standing outside the door and heard Ling Zhuo’s loud voice saying that she wanted to care for her and love her. She recalled in her mind how Ling Zhuo had been arrogant and awkward around her.

She was suddenly confused and felt that she had come to the wrong place.

She couldn’t help but rub her arms and felt goosebumps on her hands.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should knock on the door and go in or not.
