Madam Wenren had just reached Wenren Fuling when she heard Wenren Luoshui's inner voice reveal that her eldest daughter had secretly plotted such a vicious scheme with that man surnamed Ma.
Dazed for a moment, she stepped hard on Wenren Fuling's fair, slender hand.
Only when she heard her eldest daughter scream did she come back to her senses.
Seeing the stubbornness and hurt beneath her eldest daughter's serene expression, she felt she could not simply take Wenren Luoshui's side of the story as truth.
Steadying herself, she reached down to help her eldest daughter up.
As for Wenren Ca Die, who sat opposite Wenren Luoshui, she felt as though she had been struck by lightning.
Although she had been cleaning up after her eldest sister since childhood,
she had always thought the two of them were on quite good terms.
But why?
Why would her eldest sister use such a vicious scheme against her?
The Wenren Family had quite a few branches, aside from the unlucky fellow Wenren Shuang had previously schemed against.
Wenren Zhi's household could be counted among the most prominent of those branches.
Sometimes, when other members of the Wenren Family came to Wenren Zhi's home looking for handouts, he would generally help wherever he could.
Quite a few managers in his shops were actually members of the other family branches.
Had he not been such a capable manager, his household would long since have been eaten away by all those people swarming to him for help finding work.
Yet, though his career had enjoyed smooth sailing, he had never imagined that a ticking bomb lay buried right beside him.
Suppressing her agitation, Madam Wenren helped Wenren Fuling up from the ground.
But Wenren Luoshui's next thoughts made her shove Wenren Fuling back down.
