Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Appetizer Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Appetizer Watching Zhong ngxuan act as if it was only natural to throw the bla onto herself, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, “You can’t even control your own man, and now you’re blaming ?”
At this point, as if she suddenly rembered sothing, she covered her mouth, the embarrassed expression was all but gone, “I almost forgot, you don’t have that right, after all, you’re not the legitimate wife. To be honest, you and that woman Lu Chenran is with on the side are pretty much the sa.”
Zhong ngxuan was so angry she could almost drop dead on the spot, “Zhong Niangyao, don’t get cocky. You think you, of all people, can really tear us apart?”
“I never thought about tearing you two apart; how lovey-dovey you are is your business, nothing to do with .” Zhong Niangyao’s eyes rolled around, and then she continued with a chuckle, “However, there is one thing I do know. That’s why Lu Chenran got to know another woman.”
“Who was behind this?” Zhong ngxuan was so agitated, she reached out her hand, trying to grab Zhong Niangyao’s hand, only to be dodged.
Zhong Niangyao withdrew her hand, then spoke with a smile, “Actually, you definitely know the person behind this, and you’ve even t before! But the process and outco of your eting didn’t seem very harmonious, did they!”
Hearing it was soone she knew, Zhong ngxuan beca even more anxious, a hint of eagerness in her tone, “Who exactly is it?”
While speaking, she had already gone through all the people she knew in her mind, guessing who was stabbing her in the back. She would not let them get away with it.
“Madam Lu —— Shi Shi,” Zhong Niangyao did not beat around the bush, revealing the mystery, “She’s the one who found a lover for her son.”
“This is impossible.” Zhong ngxuan instinctively retorted, “She, an aristocratic lady of a wealthy family, would never do such an indecent thing.”
“Oh, even you know your presence isn’t exactly respectable!” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, “It looks like you’re quite self-aware, aren’t you!”
“Zhong Niangyao!” Zhong ngxuan growled in a low voice, “You’re trying to clear your na by dragging innocent people down with you now?”
She’d rather believe it was all Zhong Niangyao’s doing than accept that Madam Lu would have done such a thing. Because that would an she’d lose utterly.
“Innocent?” Zhong Niangyao chuckled, shaking her head, “She’s not innocent, and neither are you. As for why Madam Lu would do this, don’t you have any clue?”
“Before Lu Chenran married Long Jiarui, you were already ddling, even attempting to influence their union. Later, you broke the agreent between you two and even publicized your affair with Lu Chenran to the point of almost causing a scandal between the Lu and Long families.”
“Do you really think Madam Lu had no opinion of you back then? She’s been biding her ti just so as not to upset her son because of you.”
“Now that Lu Chenran’s interest in you has waned, she naturally took the opportunity to thoroughly sow discord between you two. She’s far from being soft-hearted, this is just the beginning.”
Although she didn’t know the full extent of Madam Lu’s plans, it was obvious that these minor skirmishes were just the appetizer. Zhong ngxuan had much more to endure!
“It’s not possible, you’re lying to .”
Zhong ngxuan covered her ears, shaking her head as if that could deny the truth. But deep down, she knew full well that Zhong Niangyao was telling the truth.
“Alright, now that you know, let’s make room,” Zhong Niangyao glanced indifferently at Zhong ngxuan, “There’s a banquet tonight, and I need to rest. Don’t bother .”
“No, you can’t go.”
Seeing that Zhong Niangyao was about to enter the room, Zhong ngxuan beca frantic, “Zhong Niangyao, are you telling the truth?”
“You know the truth in your own heart, don’t you?” Zhong Niangyao replied with a cold laugh, “And rember, a good dog doesn’t block the way.”
As she spoke, her gaze fixed firmly on Zhong ngxuan, radiating an icy chill. It was as if she wouldn’t be polite if Zhong ngxuan didn’t step aside.
Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s attitude, Zhong ngxuan wanted to get angry, but the coldness in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes made her slowly lower her hand, eventually stepping aside.
Zhong Niangyao didn’t give Zhong ngxuan another glance, simply pushed the door open, and walked inside.
Only when the door slamd shut did Zhong ngxuan snap out of her daze. She glared at the door, her foot raised, ready to kick it in anger.
But rembering the chill that emanated from Zhong Niangyao just monts ago, she shuddered involuntarily, ultimately lowering her foot.
She kept telling herself that she backed down, not out of fear for Zhong Niangyao, but simply because she did not want to cause a scene on such an auspicious day. After all, it was Grandfather’s birthday celebration, and if sothing went wrong today, Grandfather’s attitude towards her would surely worsen.
Now that another woman had appeared by Lu Chenran’s side, she could not just sit idle. She had to repair her relationship with her family as soon as possible. With her family’s support, she would have much more confidence.
“ngxuan, what are you doing here?”
The sudden voice startled Zhong ngxuan. She looked up to see Zhong ngfan walking towards her with a gentle smile that seed pleasant.
However, she clearly did not feel comfortable.
“Why can’t I be here?” Zhong ngxuan retorted with a cold laugh, “This is my house. Since when do I need your permission to show up?”
Contrary to Zhong ngxuan’s aggressive approach, Zhong ngfan was much calr, even in the face of such an attitude from Zhong ngxuan, she didn’t get angry, still smiling, “You misunderstood, I just saw you standing at Nianyao’s door for a while, so I was a bit curious, that’s all.”
“What’s it to you?” Zhong ngxuan looked at Zhong ngfan, her eyes filled with disdain, “Zhong ngfan, my affairs are none of your business. If you have ti, you might as well take a good look at this new little brother your mother added for you. After all, the two of you are blood-related!”
The phrase “blood-related,” Zhong ngxuan deliberately emphasized, word by word with heavy sarcasm.
