Chapter 561: Hit the Snake’s Weak Point, Tear It Apart!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mo’er followed Liu Shimei, her heart surging with emotions!

When it came to the grievances and disputes between the Eldest Young Miss and Zhang Wan’er, there were as many as stars in the sky, countless and endless!

Zhang Wan’er, the niece of Madam Zhang, was a bit older than Liu Shimei, perhaps 17 years old this year? When they were children, Zhang Wan’er used to visit the Grand Chancellor’s Residence often and play with Liu Yan’er, who was around the same age.

At first, Liu Yan’er was just a daughter of a concubine, feeling resentful deep down. Combined with Madam Zhang’s twisted upbringing, both Liu Yan’er and Zhang Wan’er grew up with twisted hearts.

These two cousins were incredibly jealous of Liu Shimei, the legitimate eldest daughter. Whenever they saw Liu Shimei with something nice, if they couldn’t snatch it away, they would try to ruin it.

Later, after Liu Yan’er became the legitimate daughter following her mother, her arrogance became even more unbearable. They bullied Liu Shimei because she didn’t have a mother, constantly finding fault with her.

If it weren’t for Liu Quan protecting her younger sister, who knows how much persecution Liu Shimei would have suffered from the hands of Liu Yan’er and Zhang Wan’er working together?!

Both cousins were incredibly malicious, especially Zhang Wan’er, who loved to play the victim!

It was manageable with Liu Quan’s protection. After Liu Quan was no longer around, Liu Shimei seemed like a soft-shelled turtle without its protective shell. Zhang Wan’er and Liu Yan’er became even more arrogant!

After years apart, the current Eldest Young Miss Liu was no longer the naive Liu Shimei of the past. One wonders, is Zhang Wan’er still the same Zhang Wan’er from those days?

Thinking about her master’s imposing manner when confronting others, Mo’er was thrilled!

Liu Shimei entered the flower hall and glanced around. Besides Madam Zhang, there was another lady sitting in the main seat. Judging from the fabric of her clothes, they seemed newly made, probably for her return to the Capital, requiring a few decent outfits to meet people. And sitting below were Liu Yan’er and Zhang Wan’er!

Although Liu Yan’er couldn’t go out due to her leg condition, she could still receive guests at home, carried by her servants. She hadn’t seen Zhang Wan’er for several years, so there was so much to catch up on.

However, someone with no tactfulness in her speech was Zhang Wan’er. “I knew it! A lowly woman like Liu Shimei, what good ending could she possibly have? Haha, just as I expected, she ended up with a fiance who’s a fool!”

Liu Shimei hadn’t even entered the room, but she could already hear Zhang Wan’er’s exaggerated laughter, her hand covering her mouth.

She sneered inwardly, ‘It seems that spending these years in the countryside has made Zhang Wan’er even more uncouth.’

Zhang Wan’er’s tirade continued, “She still looks down on others! Liu Shimei is nothing more than an unwed fallen woman now! In my opinion, any man in the capital who wants her as his concubine will have to wait in line! And as for that Silly Second Prince, there will probably be countless cuckold hats on his head in the future!”

Throughout this, Liu Yan’er remained silent.

Why didn’t she say anything? Did she not want to defend Liu Shimei?

Not really!

She was afraid of Liu Shimei!

Well, it was satisfying enough to hear Zhang Wan’er scold Liu Shimei; she didn’t need to do it herself.

But surprisingly, when she casually glanced outside, she saw Liu Shimei standing at the door!

An instinctive fear gripped Liu Yan’er, a fear dominated by the possibility of her ‘broken leg’ being exposed!

Zhang Wan’er had her back to the door and hadn’t noticed Liu Shimei’s presence. She continued triumphantly, “She even thought she could become the Crown Princess! Haha, now she can’t dream of flying up to the branches and becoming a phoenix anymore!”

“Oh,” Liu Shimei suddenly spoke, her tone cold, “Cousin Wan’er, you’re so spirited! But I’m a bit puzzled. I, Liu Shimei, was originally the phoenix on the branch. Even if now I can only be a princess and not the Crown Princess, I am still standing on the branch! Isn’t it much stronger than someone who was promised to an unwed fiance by her parents?”

Striking the snake’s weak point!
