In her past life, Sheng Ning was so foolish, partly because no one ever taught her. Now, she wants to teach Lin En well, making sure her son-in-law doesnāt end up at the same disadvantage.
Lin Enās grandmother taught him to be kind, brave, and industrious, turning him into an angel. Sheng Ning, though, intends to teach him cunning, conspiracy, and how to uncover deceptions.
By nurturing a capable son-in-law from a young age, he will be better able to protect his little sister in the future.
"I got it, Auntie. Donāt worry, Iāll remember and keep a close watch," Lin En assured.
"My son-in-law is indeed smart and capable," Sheng Ning proudly praised.
"Letās go!" The distance was too far, and she couldnāt hear clearly, so she decided to give up on pushing the stroller into Maryās shop across the street.
"What are you doing?" Feng Xintong impatiently said, "Didnāt I tell you to stay put and take advantage of it? What do you mean by coming back now?"
Her clever plan to kill two birds with one stone now couldnāt proceed, and she wondered who would bear the responsibility.
"Iām sorry, Lady Zhenzhen wanted to send me back and I had no choice," Lili explained grievedly, "Besides, sheās now moody and completely different from before, not as easily manipulated."
Previously, as the maid specially assigned to Feng Zhenzhen, although she was frequently scolded, everything she received was the best. Feng Zhenzhen gave her clothes, bags, and jewelry she didnāt use, all valuable luxury items.
Now Feng Zhenzhen is destitute, only someone insane would continue to follow her.
"Youāre... truly useless." Feng Xintongās smile remained sweet, but her words were chillingly cold.
"Iām sorry," Lili trembled in fear, "I really tried my best. If youāre not convinced, you can go and have a look."
"Iāll go check," Feng Xintong replied. "Leave now. Donāt let anyone know weāve met." She would go and see, having heard that Feng Zhenzhen was now severely burned, resembling neither human nor ghost. As her most obedient cousin, she naturally had to show some concern.
In the process, she would find a way to verbally provoke Feng Zhenzhen, that brainless fool, into a dog-eat-dog fight with Sheng Ning.
Yes, this was Feng Xintongās original plan. To burn Feng Zhenzhen half to death and have her accuse Sheng Ning as the mastermind, thereby eliminating two major threats once and for all.
Since her first visit to the hospital to see Sheng Ning, she had quietly prepared herself and decided it was impossible to win Sheng Ningās trust. She always believed her instincts, which never failed her, so after returning, she abandoned the thought entirely.
If she couldnāt be an ally, then she would have to be an enemy.
Since sheās an enemy, she must be thoroughly destroyed.
"Yes, Lady Xintong, rest assured," Lili said with a supposedly clever smile, "Iāll be heading back now."
The estate was full of Chief Niās spies, and fearful of being discovered, this was the place she chose for the meeting. Lady Xintong interned here, familiar with the familyās business, making this an ideal spot to meet.
Maryās studio door opened, and Sheng Ning pushed the stroller inside, greeted by a specially dressed assistant who bowed deeply and then said, "Hello, madam. Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes, Iāve arranged to meet Lady Mary today. My name is Sheng Ning."
The assistant showed a delighted smile and immediately said politely, "Please, do come inside. Lady Mary has been waiting for you."
"Thank you!"
Mary had already descended from upstairs, dressed in a tailored jumpsuit, her hair lazily draped over her back.
