"Don’t talk to about that wretch, if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be in this predicant now," Xu Xuezi said resentfully when she ntioned Xiao’ou, gritting her teeth.
She had never imagined that Xiao’ou would betray her, and deliver a fatal blow at such a critical mont.
"It seems you still don’t understand what damage you’ve done to Xiao’ou to make her hate you this much,"
"She was disloyal to her master; I was her mistress, the one she was supposed to serve. I commanded, and she was to obey. What right did she have to betray ?"
"It seems you think of yourself as a princess from ancient tis, believing you can manipulate others’ lives at will. Like hoping that a huge fire might eliminate , right?"
"Why can’t I? You are just a country girl, what right do you have to stay by Yecheng’s side? Yecheng is the cherished son of heaven, the dragon among dragons. The only woman who can stand by his side is . Besides , I won’t allow any other woman to stand beside him and pair with him equally," Xu Xuezi said, and laughed loudly, "Is Yecheng dead? That must be why you are about to be driven out of the Gu Family. I told you, your good days wouldn’t last long, you’re just a country girl, what makes you think you deserve a better life than mine?"
A country girl, how can she lead a better life than hers, how can she win Yecheng’s favor?
Xiaofeng looked at her with sympathy, "Just because of my background, you assud that Yecheng and I couldn’t be together, so you decided to target a pregnant woman. Do you realize that the fire you set not only destroyed my life but also the lives of my two children? You are Young Lady of the Xu Family, raised with etiquette from childhood. I just want to ask you, when you decided to harm a pregnant woman, didn’t your conscience hurt? How could you bring yourself to do it?"
"Is your life valuable? In my eyes, your life isn’t worth a di, and as for those two illegitimate children in your belly, they are even less worth ntioning. I regret now that I wasn’t successful then. If I had been, you wouldn’t be standing before now."
As long as the desired result can be achieved, the process is not important; the outco she wanted was sufficient.
The reality, however, was that everyone and everything turned against her, and the outco wasn’t what she had wanted.
"So, Xu Xuezi, the outco you desire is bound to disappoint you," Xiaofeng said with a faint smile, "Tomorrow"
"Tomorrow is the day of my grand wedding with Yecheng. Tomorrow, all the notable people of the Imperial Capital will co to witness our wedding,"
"Impossible, you killed Yecheng, the Gu Family won’t let you in. Impossible, after such a huge explosion, Yecheng couldn’t possibly still be alive, you are lying to , yes, you must be lying," Xu Xuezi couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
She couldn’t believe it, she just couldn’t.
"I ca today to deliver your wedding invitation; I hope the n Family head and his wife will co tomorrow to attend my wedding with Yecheng." Xiaofeng’s red lips curved slightly as she extended her hand, and Ayun passed her the wedding invitation.
Xiaofeng opened the wedding invitation to make sure it was correct before placing it in front of Xu Xuezi, "Rember to co tomorrow. After all, this wedding is sothing you hope not to see, coming to see it will surely make it even more unforgettable."
Xu Xuezi’s hands trembled as she opened the wedding invitation, saw the glaring two nas, and with a loud tear, ripped it into several pieces.
With a casual toss, it scattered all around.
"Anyway, you two are ant to separate, whether n Chao and I go or not makes no difference. Su Xiaofeng, don’t be smug, even if Yecheng is willing to marry you now, he will abandon you later. I’m waiting for that day, the day you and your children are driven out of the Gu Family ho,"
What kind of family is the Gu Family, how can they tolerate Su Xiaofeng bringing a pair of illegitimate children into the Gu Family? Even if they pretend to agree now, it won’t be long before they change their minds.
"Mrs. n, what can I say about you? My mother-in-law has already planned the anniversary celebration for the two children, yet here you are doubting whether my children are illegitimate. The woman who has fallen from power is indeed pitiful, isolated and oblivious, completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world," Xiaofeng shook her head and said to Su Peng, "Big brother, let’s go back, the ssage has been delivered, whether Mrs. n cos tomorrow is up to whether n Family head is willing to bring her with him."
Unsurprisingly, n Chao will definitely bring her to attend.
She is the daughter of the Xu Family, and n Chao is Xu Family’s son-in-law. For n Chao, he now needs the status of Xu Xuezi, the Xu Family’s Young Lady, so of course, he will bring her to such necessary occasions.
Su Peng glanced at the woman on the bed and spoke faintly, "There is an old saying that is not wrong, those who harm others will eventually harm themselves. If it hadn’t been for Acheng arriving quickly, we might not have escaped from that fire, and now, only divine retribution has left you half-dead."
If Acheng hadn’t arrived quickly, whether they could have escaped from the fire was completely uncertain.
When Su Peng said this, his gaze fell on Yin Li.
He regretted it now.
He regretted ever having liked her.
In the end, she turned out to be the arsonist, the one who almost killed his entire family.
Yin Li turned her head away, unable to et Su Peng’s eyes.
That’s right, she was the perpetrator. The fire that was set initially was her doing, and it was also she who had shoved that thug into the stinking ditch.
"You all get out, get out." Maybe because the topic touched Xu Xuezi’s sore spot, Xu Xuezi wildly gesticulated with her hands, "Yin Li, tell them to get out, get out, I don’t want to see them."
Xiaofeng sighed internally as she observed Xu Xuezi’s behavior. What good family background, what good person she was, yet she ended up monstrously cruel.
"Big Brother, I’ve also delivered the wedding invitations, we can go."
"Alright."
"Get out, all of you get out." Xu Xuezi, overly agitated, thudded to the ground, then let out a cry, "Why can’t I feel my legs, why doesn’t it hurt. n Chao, you white-eyed wolf, what have you done to ...."
Xiaofeng left Xu Xuezi’s courtyard and saw n Chao at the intersection. n Chao seed in good spirits, watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Xiaofeng co out, he handed the watering can to soone beside him.
"Are you done seeing her?"
"I really admire the Family Head n, you really went to great lengths to get the Xu Family. n Chao, it was your doing when Yecheng got into trouble back then, wasn’t it?" Xiaofeng looked at him.
"I thought you’d guessed it already." n Chao smiled, unconcerned. For them big families, so matters are just naturally a matter of life and death.
"What I don’t understand is, you went through all that trouble to get Yecheng into trouble, why didn’t you take advantage of the victory to strike at or the Gu Family?" This was actually quite easy to guess, Yecheng must have figured it out too.
"Don’t worry, I will strike when it’s ti to strike. Tomorrow is your big wedding day with Young Master Gu, I’d like to congratulate you in advance."
Xiaofeng glared at him briefly, didn’t respond, and turned to leave.
n Chao watched her figure, just smiling.
"Su Xiaofeng." n Chao suddenly called out to her.
Xiaofeng paused, but did not turn around.
"Your daughter is very adorable. Does she like the gift I sent her?" n Chao wasn’t sure what he really wanted to say, and the words that escaped his lips turned into this sentence.
That little darling was indeed very adorable, soft and gentle.
"I haven’t told her yet about the gift you sent." Xiaofeng spoke and then left.
n Chao watched her figure, smiled slightly.
Yin Li, reading the expression and gaze of her grandfather, beca even more convinced of one thing—perhaps... really...
She looked up at the sky, wondering if both she and her grandfather were destined to be outplayed by the siblings from the Su Family.
