Chapter 1409: Chapter 1347: Standing on the Knife-Edge Cliff
Seeing her eldest daughter’s stubborn appearance, ignoring advice, Madam Wang’s temple throbbed as she looked at her with a cold face.
Wu Yining shrank her neck, swallowed, and leaned coquettishly, "Mother..."
"If you won’t listen to , then don’t call
Mother, lest I waste my efforts worrying and planning for you!" Madam Wang pushed her away coldly.
Wu Yining hurriedly hugged her arm, saying, "Mother, don’t, isn’t it okay if I listen to you? I’ll avoid her in the future, alright!"
"Really?"
Wu Yining nodded sullenly, thinking in her heart, of course not. Why should that wretch Wufu be so smug in front of her? She, Wu Yining, was the proper eldest legitimate daughter, why should Wufu be so arrogant!
But Madam Wang believed her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, "Good child, Mother only wants what’s best for you, not wanting you to suffer a loss here. Rember, you are porcelain, she is an earthen jar; it’s not worth having a direct clash with her, otherwise, you’ll only end up losing yourself!"
"Got it!"
Seeing her lack of enthusiasm, Madam Wang continued, "Your current task is to get along well with Princess Ping Xi. I’ve heard that Princess Consort Wei returned this ti with the Commandery Princess and the Princely Heir to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday, and Prince Wei will also return. Moreover, Princess Consort Wei is intending to select a noble daughter in the capital to be the Crown Princess for the Princely Heir."
Wu Yining’s eyes widened, her heart began to pound fiercely, and her little face flushed with excitent.
Madam Wang tenderly swept her loose hair behind her ears, saying, "Your status isn’t high enough, but if you get along well with the Commandery Princess and often visit Prince Wei’s Manor, you’ll have more opportunities than others. It’s like being close to the water, you’ll have the first chance, understand? If you can make the Princely Heir and Princess Consort Wei look at you differently, you’ll soar to great heights."
Wu Yining blushed, "Mother, you’re saying a noble daughter, will Princess Consort Wei even consider ?"
"That’s why you must perform well in front of her, and of course, the sa goes for the Princely Heir. My Ningning is so good-looking; as long as you perform well, the Princely Heir will surely notice you. I’ve heard that the Princely Heir is very opinionated and should also have a say in his marriage!" Madam Wang whispered, adding, "But one thing, you must adhere to the rules, and you’re not allowed to do anything inappropriate with him. Ningning, once a man gets you, he won’t cherish you!"
Wu Yining blushed deeply, nodding as if she understood, thoughts muddled by imagining that exceptionally handso man.
Seeing her daughter’s bashful expression, Madam Wang sighed inwardly, realizing her daughter had grown up and reached the age for marriage!
But then she thought of the troubleso matters on Wufu’s side, and the smile on her lips faded.
That mother and daughter duo remained a consistent source of trouble, sothing that must be resolved, especially as Wufu still held a hold over her, one never knows when it might explode.
Yet solving it posed a problem; on her side, resources were scarce, hiring a killer was definitely out, especially since the first attempt failed and alerted the other side!
What most unsettled Madam Wang was why the other side, holding sothing against her, refrained from acting. What were they planning?
Madam Wang felt increasingly anxious, strongly desiring the disappearance of that mother and daughter. Their presence ant her life could never be peaceful, much like standing on a knife’s edge on a cliff.
What to do?
Madam Wang looked down, seeing Wu Yining’s smiling face, knowing she was thinking of the Princely Heir and Princess Ping Xi, Prince Wei’s Manor...
Madam Wang pressed her lips together, eyes flickering, emitting a hint of calculating glint.
