FSC [QT] Chapter 123.1

“Useless thing!”

Old Mrs. Wu took her distraught granddaughter back to her yard. Before the maid brought the hot tea to her, she waved her hand and threw the cup of boiling hot tea at Ling Wei.

With a ‘pop’, the teacup broke into pieces on the ground.

“What did I teach you before entering the palace? With such a good opportunity, you actually let Ling Yaodong’s daughter take the first place.”

Ling Wei dodged quickly, but the cup of hot tea still fell beside her feet. The boiling hot tea penetrated the thin upper of the shoes. Her toes and insteps felt a burning pain.

“That’s right, it’s fine that you didn’t become the Third Princess’ companion, but you didn’t even get the title of the prince’s concubine.”

Mrs. Xiao Wu not only didn’t feel sorry for her daughter, but she also added fuel to the fire.

Fortunately, she had some self-awareness in her heart. When she said this, she did not directly point to the position of the prince’s principal wife.

But even so, Ling Wei felt more humiliated. If her father was the Marquis of Changping, why would she need to be so busy?

“Grandmother, it’s not that I don’t do my best, but that wild girl Ling Zhuo doesn’t act according to the plan as we imagined.”

Ling Wei also felt wronged. She simply told everything that happened in the palace these days, focusing on retelling what Ling Zhuo said that day.

“B*tch!”

Old Mrs. Wu’s face turned red with anger.

She thought that she had played with people’s hearts, but she didn’t expect that Ling Zhuo, a girl of eleven or twelve years old, not only didn’t fall for it, but also laughed at her stupidity behind her back.

“I have thought about whether to do it myself, but that is in the palace. I am afraid that if I make a mistake, I will drag down Grandmother and parents.”

Ling Wei said aggrievedly.

In fact, she was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. She only wanted to instigate others to do it, but she was afraid of being stained with the smell if she did it herself.

“Mother, that girl Ling Zhuo is so hateful. Do we still have to tolerate her now?”

Mrs. Xiao Wu helped out. At this moment, her mind was still echoing what her daughter had just said.

Ling Zhuo, that wild girl, actually wanted to marry with the private property that the late Marquis gave her.

She was just a wild girl from the countryside who occupied the magpie’s nest. The private property should have been taken out and divided equally among them.

She was already dissatisfied with Old Mrs. Wu’s behavior of not allowing her to spread the truth to the outside world. Now that she knew that Ling Zhuo had such ‘rebellious and unethical’ thoughts, she couldn’t help it anymore.

“Mother, you are thinking about the girl of our mansion, but how has Ling Zhuo ever been considerate of you? Besides, the fact that Ling Zhuo and Ling Wu were taken away by mistake is ultimately due to the Eldest Sister-in-law’s poor judgment of people.”

“Even if she would be criticized for keeping such a maid with ulterior motives by her side, it would be the Eldest Sister-in-law who would be criticized. What does it have to do with the upbringing of our Marquis girls?”

The incident was too secretive at the time. Mrs. Xiao Wu didn’t know that the assassination that gave the child the chance to be exchanged was designed by her mother-in-law, so she didn’t know the real reason why Old Mrs. Wu didn’t allow her to spread the truth.

She didn’t care about the reputation of the mansion, but she was worried that if things got serious, the ‘banditry case’ that year would be revealed again.

“Ling Zhuo is so arrogant now. It’s obvious that she relies on the mansion to hide her true identity. She still thinks she is the sixth daughter of the Marquis of Changping mansion.”

Mrs. Xiao Wu wanted to simply spread the truth.

Once everyone knew that she, Ling Zhuo, was just a pheasant occupying the sycamore tree, would she still be like this?

For the first time, Old Mrs. Wu began to hesitate.

In fact, if she thought about it carefully, it had been more than ten years since that incident. Old Mrs. Wu could be sure that except for her, everyone who participated in that incident was already dead.

Ling Yaodong did not find her back then. More than ten years have passed, could he still find out the truth?

Moreover, if the matter of the bloodline confusion of the Marquis’s mansion was spread, it would drag down the reputation of the entire Marquis’s mansion.

But now the head of the Marquis’s mansion was Ling Yaodong, so the first to be hit were the couple of the first branch.

What did it have to do with their second branch?

Old Mrs. Wu was silent.

“Find someone who is more tight-lipped.”

The only sounds in the hall were the breathing of several masters. Just when Mrs. Xiao Wu thought that her mother-in-law would reject her proposal again, she spoke.

“Mother, don’t worry. I will definitely help you with this matter.”
