Chapter 99: Inexplicable Guilt

Chapter 99

Rong Dai immediately stared with wide eyes and asked her: "Sister-in-law, did you record a video?"

Dai nodded. If she had had these good things in her previous life, she wouldn't have suffered so much loss at the hands of the Imperial Noble Consort.

When Mrs. Wang told her that Old Mrs. Wen was coming over, she had already kept it in mind.

There was no other way. She didn't want to harm others, but she also didn't want to be harmed.

Wen Shi Lan and Zuo Ran's cases still had no result. She was also unfamiliar with Old Mrs. Wen of the Wen family. Why would she come to see her at this time?

So she gave her phone to Mrs. Wang and asked Mrs. Wang to pay attention to the angle and record what was happening in the living room.

If the old lady of the Wen family really just came to visit, she could delete it afterwards.

If she came to find fault, then this recording would be evidence.

She knew the harm of gossip, especially when the younger generation faced the accusations of an elder, people tend to be prejudiced and help accuse the real victim.

She had suffered losses from Wen Shi Lan several times. If she was still so unguarded, then it would really be her own fault.

"Why didn't I think of it earlier? I knew that old lady was up to no good. Sister-in-law, you really kept your cool."

Huo Mei Shu hadn't thought that deeply. She stood behind Dai as the sisters-in-law watched the video together.

The video was recorded very clearly. They could see and hear everything that was said clearly, as well as the old lady's expressions.

Just in case, Huo Mei Shu took the initiative to make two backup copies.

"Actually, they were recording too. Do you still remember why I asked the lawyer about his suit?" The decorations on the chest pocket of his suit looked a bit strange."

After turning off her phone, Dai asked Huo Mei Shu. She didn't want the young sister-in-law to think of her as a scheming villainess.

Alright, although she was crafty, she was doing this to protect herself.

Although it wasn't like the palace struggles in her previous life where the consorts fought viciously, danger still lurked around at all times here.

The slightest carelessness could make her the target of public criticism, with no defense at all.

She liked liveliness, but she didn't like people coming to teach and slander her. That would greatly affect her mood.

Only with a cheerful mood could she be healthy in body and mind, and live a long life.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

One should not have the heart to harm others, but must not lack the heart to guard against others - this timeless wisdom she dared not forget a single word.

"Rather than doing this, we might as well wait until they are complacent and think they have the upper hand, then release the video to pull the rug out from under them. Even if they plot against us afterwards, netizens will not side with them."

Dai said softly.

If Wen Shi Lan hadn't acted so extremely, trying to take her life, she wouldn't have used such means either.

She just wanted to live a clean and carefree life.

Basking in the sun at leisure, reading books, practicing calligraphy, tending to her plants, or cooking delicious food to satisfy her appetite.

Such a life would be wonderful.

But she still lived among the aristocratic families in this life. These things were unavoidable to guard against.

"Sister-in-law, I give you a thumbs up for this!"

Huo Mei Shu approved greatly of her idea.

But Dai felt bitter inside. She actually disliked having to be on high alert all the time.

However, the world was like this. If she wanted to live freely as she wished, she would need some means to protect herself.

"Actually, if they didn't try to harm me, I wouldn't do this either. I just don't want any more trouble." She said helplessly.

Seeing her like this, Huo Mei Shu couldn't experience that feeling of being controlled, but she could understand.

She straightened her expression and gave her a sincere hug.

"No matter what, sister-in-law, I believe in you. We are family. When there is difficulty, we will stand up and protect you."

Because she had seen the most ruthless relatives, she would protect without reservation those she considered as family.

Dai was startled, feeling warm inside, but also strangely guilty.

If the little sister-in-law knew that her marriage to Huo Shaoting would only last a year, would she still say this?

After all, she was not the original owner. Huo Shaoting only doted on and cared for her so much because of the body she possessed.

In Huo Shaoting's world, she was still that Rong Dai, still the wife he first married, not the soul from another world that she was.
