Chapter 1728: Chapter 1666: A Heavy Blow
Wufu looked at Madam Wang as if watching a small, ridiculous clown, deftly sidestepping her as she rushed forward, casually extending her leg, causing Madam Wang to trip and fall flat on her face.
"Donât waste your energy. Save your spirit and strength, try to live a few more days, maybe youâll have the chance to plan a bit more for your children." Wufu sat down cross-legged, opened a bottle of wine, and the rich aroma wafted from the bottleâs mouth. She didnât bother with a glass, simply raised the bottle and took a swig.
Madam Wang trembled all over, turned back to look at her: "What do you mean by that?"
"Donât understand?" Wufu glanced sideways at her, and said, "You surely donât think thereâs a day youâll walk out of this place and regain your prestige as the Eldest Lady Wu, do you?"
Madam Wangâs pupils shrank abruptly.
"Youâve been married to Wu Lihong for over ten years, do you not know how cold and heartless he is? At this point, not only are you without any support, but youâve also poisoned your mother-in-law. Even though you have a son, heâs a cripple, incapable of achieving anything to bring honor to the Wu Family. Do you think Wu Lihong will still value such a useless person? And wonât he want to have another legitimate son to revive the family name?"
Wufuâs words were like a heavy hammer striking Madam Wangâs heart repeatedly, so painful that she could barely breathe.
Would a selfish and cold-hearted man like Wu Lihong value a useless son?
If she were to die and make room, he could marry a new bride, who might then bear a legitimate son; would her Yuyu still have a place?
A child without a motherâs protection is already at a disadvantage, let alone one who is a cripple, the hardship of living under a stepmotherâs hand can well be imagined!
And wonât such a situation arise? Itâs impossible to avoid!
Madam Wang was a bit dazed, hugged herself with both arms, so cold, why is it so cold.
Wufu watched coldly, the corner of her mouth curling slightly.
"Wu Lihong already told me, youâll never have a day when you leave the family temple, he begged me, high and mighty, to spare the Wu Family, he promised you wouldnât come to disturb my life again. Ha, his promises, I donât care, you, a toothless tigress, arenât frightening to me either. But you, hearing these words, what do you think this implies?" Wufu took another swig of wine, said: "Look at you, for such a selfish and callous man, youâve done so many things, made mistake after mistake, who to blame, blame yourself for not seeing human nature clearly."
"You have no ability to hold onto that man, so you vent anger on others, without realizing, if a manâs heart wants to leave, even if you kill every woman outside, you wonât keep it tied. From the start, you hated the wrong target, it wasnât women like you, it was the man." Wufu looked down and said: "For this man, youâve ruined everything, do you regret it?"
"Then why donât you go after him?" Madam Wang asked sharply: "Without him, your mother wouldnât have died. Besides, what have my Ningning and Yuyu done, if you have issues come to me, why take it out on the innocent, on the children."
"Innocent? Is Wu Yining really innocent? You and your daughter conspired to harm my mother, did you think I wouldnât know? Theyâre innocent, yet my brother was born without a mother, isnât that unjust? Letâs say theyâre innocent, but as Iâve said, I wonât let you off easy, they should lament being born as your children." Wufu sneered: "As for Wu Lihong, he indeed has calculations, but he never had killing intentions, nor did he secretly set traps." Wufu said: "Whoever harms my mother, Iâll go after, with grace repay grace, with revenge repay revenge. But donât worry, he wonât fare well either, I donât think someone like him is fit for office."
