His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

There were only three people who were there when Liu Li told them the story --- Madam Wang’s father, legal mother which was also Madam Wang’s birth mother, and the younger sister.

Madam Wang’s father looked at Liu Li suspiciously, "Then, how come you are able to send the news here?" His suspicion was justified because he knew that no one outside of Wang Fu had known about this matter. The man was still arrogant enough to think that it was all because Wang Luo Hai was feeling afraid of his influence so his son-in-law tried to cover up this matter so that he was oblivious about it.

Liu Li sighed. "Madam Wang trusted this servant with this job because she has been monitored all the time. There is no chance for her to go out and this servant is not serving by her side at this moment --- my current master is Concubine Wan... Thus, this servant is allowed to go out." Liu Li knew that these three also knew where she worked at.

"However... this servant couldn’t stay too long here or people would find it suspicious," Liu Li added. She pretended to be in a hurry so that those three would believe in her.

When Madam Wang’s father nodded his head in understanding, she sighed in relief inwardly.

Madam Wang’s father furrowed his eyebrows and angrily smacked the table beside him. "What? Such a big thing happened only because my daughter was harming those two outsiders?! How could Wang Luo Hai abandon my daughter for those two’s sake?! They have been husband and wife for so long!" He was really angered to death!

In his eyes, adopted children were nothing! Inwardly, he thought about how he had such a stupid daughter... How could she let them find out that it was her doing ah~?! Such an easy matter and yet, she failed to do it perfectly!

Madam Wang’s influence was always so big inside her maternal family’s household. After all, she was the one who managed Wang Luo Hai’s account book and the man was very wealthy... Because of it, he was very generous and had never checked the accounts himself --- he fully trusted Madam Wang. He already warned her beforehand though... as long as she didn’t go overboard, she could handle it however she wanted.

This was also the way he appreciated Madam Wang, feeling sorry that he couldn’t love her back. Because of that, it was easy for Madam Wang to fake a few parts of the account books so she could support her own family. However, it also made Madam Wang and her family greedier. The easier they got money, the lazier they would become. It described Madam Wang’s family really well.

If she had fallen from grace, where would they get the money to support their lavish life ah~?! Yes, he didn’t really care about her wellbeing, he just felt worried about his own life! Madam Wang already knew his selfish side, thus, she was afraid of being abandoned if she didn’t bring any benefits for her family...

The younger sister stayed silent the whole time when Liu Li reported everything and the latter deliberately paid attention to her expression. The woman looked so worried but a sly woman like Liu Li was able to see through her facade --- after all, they were both the same type of people --- selfish to the bone.

There was a hint of a smile inside the younger sister’s eyes, showing that she didn’t really feel sad for her older sister’s behalf. There was a smug look on her expression which was gone in a flash, it seemed like she had been waiting for this moment since a long time ago. However, she cleverly put on a sad face whenever her father and legal mother were looking at her direction.

The woman was really good at it ah~! No wonder Madam Wang had been duped by her for so long. Liu Li couldn’t help but lament inside her heart. It would be exciting to see what the younger sister would do next. Liu Li thought to herself and she would certainly share this founding with Yao Ling. It seemed like Madam Wang would be finished this time!

Only Madam Wang’s birth mother, the one who showed real concern for her daughter. She was the only one who asked, "How is An-er’s condition?" There was a hint of sadness and worried inside her eyes. She looked really anxious but it didn’t evoke any pity from Liu Li because the latter knew how selfish Madam Wang’s maternal family was.

Liu Li sighed. "Mistress is not being mistreated there but still... she has lost her power and being banished to a secluded courtyard. The servants and maidservants don’t dare to treat her badly because this servant spreads the news that there might be a chance for Mistress to raise on power once again. However, it won’t be too easy to visit her at this time --- they have already refused several visitors on Madam Wang’s behalf by saying that the latter has been sick so she couldn’t meet them."

She didn’t forget to gain an advantage to herself by claiming that she was loyal to Madam Wang so that they would trust her more. Liu Li didn’t forget to exaggerate Madam Wang’s condition as well.

Madam Wang’s mother nodded her head and said, "It’s good then... It’s good... At least, she’s healthy..." If her daughter was really sick, she would be worried to death.

She turned her gaze to her husband and asked, "What should we do next?" The only one who could help her daughter was him --- her husband.

Madam Wang’s father looked a bit grim. He gave a signal to everyone including Madam Wang’s younger sister to go out first because he needed to discuss this matter seriously. They needed Madam Wang to stay in power so that she could continue to fund their family.

"Father, do you want me to go outside as well?" The younger sister asked in a soft and pitiful voice.

"Yes! Go out with them!" He ordered sternly.

"But... I’m worried about big sister..." She asked in a low voice.

"We will tell you more about it later. Go! Liu Li can’t stay here for too long!" The man didn’t bother to care about the younger sister’s feelings! He was displeased that she continued to disobey him.

Even though the younger sister looked a bit unwilling, she didn’t dare to contradict her father at all after looking at his angry face. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes that was gone in a flash --- yes, she hated her father so much! He gave Madam Wang such a good marriage and yet, what about her? He only saw her as a pawn so that he could get the benefits from her marriage.

She gave a signal to her people, trying to send one person to eavesdrop their talk --- she needed to know everything so that she could plan ahead of time.
