Chapter 119 Shen Feiwan's Scheme
Shen Zhizhi had certainly thought about these things!
After being reborn, she had been scheming, which is why she gave up marrying Bo Junxing in this life and chose Bo Fang instead.
But she never expected Shen Feiwan to get pregnant in such a short time!
She looked at Xu Ruoqing suspiciously, "Then what do you mean by saying this, Aunt Xu? Do you want me to do something to Shen Feiwan?"
Xu Ruoqing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "You'll soon be marrying into the Bo family. From now on, we'll all be living under the same roof, seeing each other all the time. Just keep some things in mind. There will be plenty of opportunities; it's just a matter of how you seize them."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over Shen Zhizhi's face. "If you can handle this matter well, my opinion of you will definitely change drastically. Maybe I can even help you more in this family in the future."
Shen Zhizhi hesitated for a while, then nodded, "I understand. I hope you won't embarrass me at my wedding with Bo Fang, Mom."
"Mom?" Xu Ruoqing didn't like that title. She gave a forced smile and said, "Okay."
After saying that, she turned and left the garden.
Shen Zhizhi stood there for a while before leaving.
All of this was observed by Shen Feiwan, who was standing at the window on the third floor.
She crossed her arms and leaned lazily against the window frame, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips.
I wonder what these two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are 'plotting'.
Xu Ruoqing is the kind of person who won't do anything without a reason, and she would never call Shen Zhizhi to a secluded place to talk for no reason, especially since she dislikes Shen Zhizhi so much.
Turning around, Shen Feiwan went back to her room to change into casual and comfortable clothes before going to the old man's place.
After all, I've been away on a business trip for several days and it's time to visit my elders.
She also played two games of chess with the old man.
The old man valued the child in her belly highly, and he would talk about the pregnancy all the time. Shen Feiwan was willing to go along with him and keep the old man happy.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Feiwan steered the conversation toward her sister-in-law, Xu Ruoqing.
When asked about her pregnancy, she mentioned that she didn't have any pregnant friends or elders around her and planned to talk to her sister-in-law about it.
The old man was naturally pleased with the harmony of the family and greatly approved of Shen Feiwan's idea.
After the second game ended, Shen Feiwan got up and left.
She inquired about Xu Ruoqing's whereabouts from the maid and learned that Xu Ruoqing was currently playing golf at home.
A short while later, Shen Feiwan arrived.
At that time, Xu Ruoqing had just finished and was sitting under the parasol on the court drinking tea.
Seeing Shen Feiwan approaching from afar, Xu Ruoqing's face instantly darkened, and a hint of undisguised disgust flashed in her eyes.
When Shen Feiwan walked under the parasol, she suddenly stood up, as if she was about to leave.
Seeing this, Shen Feiwan smiled and called out to her, "Sister-in-law, don't go! I came here specifically to find you."
Xu Ruoqing turned around with a cold smile and looked at Shen Feiwan, "What do you want from me? We probably don't have anything to talk about."
Yes, there really isn't much to talk about.
Some only have one blood debt.
Shen Feiwan squinted at Xu Ruoqing, deliberately stroking her still-flat stomach with a affected air, and slowly said, "Dad sent me to find you. He said you have experience in childbirth and specifically asked me to come and learn from you."
These words were like a spark, instantly igniting Xu Ruoqing's anger.
Don't they know she has a history of miscarriages and can't conceive? How could they say something like that?
Xu Ruoqing took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress her displeasure. "Since the old man values that little thing in your belly so much, he will naturally arrange top-notch doctors and caregivers for you. Why should I be the one to teach you? Aren't you just deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
Little did she know that Shen Feiwan's every word today was calculated, just waiting for her to take the bait!
Shen Feiwan pretended not to notice her dissatisfaction, remaining calm and unhurried, her tone even carrying a hint of innocence, "Sister-in-law, what you're saying isn't right. Dad sent me here, saying that family members should get closer and improve the relationship between sisters-in-law. If you reject me so coldly, what am I supposed to say when Dad asks? Do you expect me to tell him that you don't take his words seriously at all?"
"Stop trying to sow discord between us!" Xu Ruoqing gritted her teeth angrily. "Don't think that just because you're pregnant you can act like you own the place. This family belongs to the Bo family, not the Shen family!"
Shen Feiwan didn't respond, but just kept repeating her own point of view, determined to argue her point to the end. "I was just following Dad's instructions to ask you for advice, but you reacted like a firecracker. If word got out, people would think that you, as the eldest sister-in-law, couldn't tolerate your pregnant sister-in-law!"
"!!!" Xu Ruoqing's chest heaved violently, her breathing so rapid she felt like she was suffocating. "Fine, very well, I can see that you're deliberately trying to disgust me, aren't you?"
Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow, took a big step forward, and almost pressed her face against Xu Ruoqing's. "Is that so? I'm just pregnant, and it makes you feel disgusted? Is it because you can't get pregnant? Why can't you get pregnant? Is it because you've done too many bad things? Is that why your eldest son, Bo Fang, became a cripple?"
These words truly struck a nerve with Xu Ruoqing, tearing open all her wounds in a bloody way!
She was completely enraged and suddenly reached out and shoved Shen Feiwan's shoulders.
Shen Feiwan was prepared. She deftly dodged to the side, and Xu Ruoqing missed her target and almost fell flat on her face.
Seeing that she was no match for him, Shen Feiwan deliberately stood aside and taunted her with a smile.
That laugh was like salt rubbed into Xu Ruoqing's wounds.
Xu Ruoqing's face instantly turned purplish-red. "You bitch! I'll tear your mouth apart!"
She screamed and desperately reached for Shen Feiwan's face.
A cold glint flashed in Shen Feiwan's eyes. Unperturbed, just as Xu Ruoqing's hand was about to touch her, she swiftly struck out and tightly gripped Xu Ruoqing's neck.
She used all her strength and showed no mercy whatsoever.
Xu Ruoqing was being choked and couldn't breathe. Her eyes were wide open, and she desperately tried to pry Shen Feiwan's hand away with both hands, making gurgling sounds in her throat, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
Shen Feiwan pinched harder and harder, and looking at Xu Ruoqing's flushed face and increasingly unfocused eyes, she couldn't help but recall the tragic death of her mother, Gao Lanqing, twelve years ago.
At this moment, she was filled with the pleasure of revenge and wished she could end Xu Ruoqing's life right then and there.
However, just as Xu Ruoqing was about to roll her eyes back and die, Shen Feiwan forced herself to regain her senses.
She realized that she couldn't kill anyone.
So she let go.
The moment she let go, Xu Ruoqing collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, gasping for breath.
After regaining her senses, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Murder! Shen Feiwan has gone mad, she's going to kill me!"
Hearing the shouts, the servants nearby rushed over in a panic.
Xu Ruoqing pointed at Shen Feiwan, trembling all over, "Hurry up and arrest her."
Shen Feiwan calmly wiped her hands, coldly surveying the crowd, "Who dares to touch me?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible intimidating force. The servants looked at each other, none of them daring to take a step forward.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings!" Xu Ruoqing trembled with rage upon seeing this. "Today, we must let the old man judge this matter and see what this vicious woman has done!"
Shen Feiwan's lips curled up into a nonchalant smile. "Sure, I'll go."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the old man's residence.
Xu Ruoqing stood there, filled with hatred, wanting to tear Shen Feiwan to pieces.
However, she quickly got up. She couldn't let Shen Feiwan see the old man first, lest Shen Feiwan make false accusations first.
Upon seeing the old man, Xu Ruoqing rushed forward, "Dad, you have to stand up for me! Shen Feiwan went crazy today and tried to strangle me!"
As she spoke, she raised her neck, revealing the shocking bruise on her skin.
The old man's gaze was instantly drawn to the bruise, and his brows furrowed tightly.
He looked at Shen Feiwan in disbelief, his tone stern, "Did you really do this?"
Shen Feiwan remained silent for a few seconds.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. Her voice was trembling with sobs, filled with extreme grievance.
"Dad, it was my sister-in-law who cursed the child in my belly first. I was so angry that I hit her."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Ruoqing didn't expect Shen Feiwan to have such a trick up her sleeve. "When did I curse your child? You were the one who said I couldn't have children first, and you even brought up Bo Fang!"
Shen Feiwan seemed not to hear Xu Ruoqing's rebuttal, and directly raised her hand to the old man, tears streaming down her face, "Dad, I swear to God, if I have ever said such a thing, may I, Shen Feiwan, die a horrible death!"
Xu Ruoqing clenched her fist angrily, "The caddies and servants at the golf course all saw it, and they can all testify to it!"
The old man's face darkened, and he immediately ordered everyone who had been present to be summoned.
Before long, five people stood trembling in front of the old man.
The old man then turned to one of the servants and asked sternly, "Tell me, what exactly happened on the field just now? Tell me the truth!"
The maid lowered her head and said, "I...I saw the Second Madam pinch the First Madam, but...but it was Madam Xu who struck first."
Xu Ruoqing glared at the man and growled, "She provoked us first!"
The old man then pointed to another caddie, "You tell me."
The caddie said, "I also saw that the First Madam lunged at her first, and then the Second Madam grabbed the First Madam tightly. But we were far away, so we didn't hear what the two ladies said at all."
"You!" Xu Ruoqing's eyes widened, her whole body trembled, and then she deflated in an instant.
She realized that she had completely fallen into Shen Feiwan's trap this time. This woman was too shrewd and cunning; she had calculated everything perfectly.
As for herself, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
