Chapter 551 - 213 Set Plan
By mid-February, the weather was not hot, and the windows in the study were closed; Yueyao hardly felt the breeze that blew in.
Xiang Wei, after Yueyao finally snapped out of her deep thoughts, spoke in disbelief, "Miss, instead of trying to figure out who the mastermind behind the scenes is, you might think about how to benefit from this situation."
Upon hearing Xiang Wei’s words, Yueyao, looking suspicious, paused and then said, "Are you suggesting using this incident to gain an advantage?"
Xiang Wei was startled by Yueyao’s expression just now; she inwardly reproached herself for making the matter so obscure; how could Yueyao know? Her resolve was getting weaker by the day. "Yes, miss, this incident is indeed an opportunity."
Yueyao understood what Xiang Wei meant; she meant that this incident could be used to break away from the Lian Mansion: "Are you saying, regardless of whether it was the Lady family or not, I should pin this incident on them. That way, uncle will have enough reason to take me to Ma’s Mansion." Once she left, Yueyao might never return to the Lian Mansion again.
Yueyao was somewhat tempted; this was indeed a perfect opportunity.
Xiang Wei had already thought it through, "As long as the kitchen maid signs a confession that Lady family was the mastermind, they won’t be able to deny it. The Lady family has long been suspected of harming others for gain, and once this incident comes to light, I believe Lord Ma will definitely stand up for you." Xiang Wei couldn’t help but marvel at Yueyao’s luck; Ma Chengteng finding out about Yueyao being poisoned would certainly not allow her to stay at Ma’s Mansion anymore, possibly causing a huge uproar at the Lian Mansion.
Yueyao thought the idea was very good, yet she still had concerns, worried that the kitchen maid would not confess: "Will the kitchen maid confess?"
Xiang Wei gave a slight chuckle, "Leave that to me; I guarantee she will confess. However, miss, if you want to make sure you can stay at Ma’s Mansion permanently, we still need to plan this carefully."
Yueyao nodded repeatedly, "Of course. But Xiang Wei, we still need to seriously investigate who the mastermind behind this is. I want to know why they want to harm me." If it wasn’t the Lady family or Lian Dongfang, then what deep-seated hatred did this person have that they would want her dead?
