Chapter 106: Is she really not scary?

  The horse carriage started heading towards the palace.

  The sky, however, was just starting to snow at this time.

  Sheng Jinxiu sat in the warm carriage, lifted the thick curtains and took a glance, a smile playing on her lips.

  What a rare spring snow! It seems that even the heavens can't stand Xiang Yu's arrogance, and want to freeze her for a bit...

  After walking halfway, Meng Qiuyu hesitated several times before speaking up: "Ji'er, the horse carriage ahead is cold..."

  "Cough, cough..." Sheng Jinxiu made a difficult expression, coughed twice, leaned over, and hugged Meng Qiuyu's arm: "Mother! I knew you would understand me the most and love me the most. You knew I would choose to sit in this carriage, and since I'm sick and cold, you had it arranged so warmly..."

  Meng Qiuyu's words got stuck in her throat.

  The carriage behind is not prepared for Rong'er...

  But her daughter was ill, and she was worried that Butterfly would catch a chill...

  Her heart was filled with another wave of awkward guilt.

  "But didn't Mother just say that the horse carriage in front is cold?" Sheng Jinxiu seemed to have only just understood what Meng Qiuyu was saying: "Didn't Mother prepare a stove for the horse carriage in front?"

  "Mother, you..." She grasped Meng Qiuyu's clothes tightly, looking at him with a hint of grievance in her eyes: "Mom! I thought you were really biased towards Sheng Dieyi and the Second Prince's affair. But you'd actually intentionally be cold to her and help me teach her a lesson... You're still good to me! I misunderstood you earlier..."

  Meng Qiuyu's guilt deepened a bit...

  "Mother, you don't know, over the years, many people inside and outside the mansion have said that I, your own flesh and blood, am not as favored by you as Bieyi, an outsider. Every time I hear such words, my heart feels like it's being pricked by needles."

  "They all say that Sheng Dieyi is pitiful, her whole family has passed away and she's the only one left. But what's pitiful about her? She entered our Yong'an Marquis Manor, and her life is much better than before. Father and you dote on her, my brothers spoil her, I have good things that she also has, and she even has good things that I don't have. Clearly, she's living a better life than me!"

  "Although I was deceived and used by the Second Prince, and did some things that were not quite right, but after all, I didn't violate ethics and morality. Yet, I'm being called a shameless and despicable person."

  "But she abandoned the moral integrity, snatched my fiancé, and relied on her children to bully me in various ways, yet some people still think she's pitiful, kind and helpless!"

  Meng Qiuyu's guilt deepened...

  "Why are there so many unavoidable things in this world? There are countless schemes and intrigues."

  "Mother, don't blame me for not forgiving Sheng Dieyi, don't blame me for speaking to her too harshly, she's just too terrifying!"

  "She quietly won over the hearts of everyone in our Sheng family, and they all praised her for being simple and kind."

  "She silently allowed everyone to recognize her as the Second Miss of the Yong'an Marquis Manor."

  "She quietly let the entire Kyoto Imperial City say that she was talented and I had no talent..."

  "She silently became Yan Ziyuan's heartthrob..."

  "They say it's the dog that doesn't bark that bites people. She's been quietly doing so many things, isn't she terrifying?"

  Meng Qiuyu was stunned.

  Yes, Yitian... how did she quietly do so many things?

  "Butterfly clothes... she... after all, we raised her, she shouldn't..."

  "The phrase 'repaying kindness with enmity' didn't come out of thin air." Sheng Jinxia said, "She won't know, that's for the best, but what if she does?"

  "Mother, what if she strikes again? Is it really impossible that we'll all be killed?"

  "Betrayal is a matter of once and then twice. If Sheng Dieyi was selfish once, would she really not be selfish again the second time?"

  At the spring banquet, Sheng Dieyi and Yan Ziyen will definitely make a move on her, and she will also fiercely fight back!

  She had to drag her mother along first. At that time, even if her mother didn't help her, she wouldn't favor Sheng Dieyi and stir up more trouble...
