Chapter 688: Conclude Everything
"From the moment you underestimated his strength, your fate was sealed. After we captured Chen He, my husband had been biding his time, waiting to give you a taste of your own medicine."
The second mistress wanted to use Chen He as her trump card, gaining leverage over Yu Jingting, having him under her thumb from then on.
After being seen through by Yu Jingting and his wife, Chen He began to turn the tables. He used the second mistress’s plot to dupe her eldest son.
Meanwhile, the second mistress took advantage of the time when Chen Lijun was getting married, attempting to persuade Fan’s mother to poison her. She prided herself on the secrecy of this scheme, not knowing that Chen He had already been won over by Yu Jingting.
Although Chen He couldn’t confirm that this plan was the second mistress’s work, Suizi and her husband were cunning and cautious. They boldly hypothesized and carefully verified, eventually concluding that it was indeed the second mistress’s doing.
"You think you’re so clever, controlling everything. But all your actions are under our control. You’ve wasted your life. You’ll never be a match for my husband. You’re not even worthy of polishing his shoes."
Suizi said with invigorating satisfaction. She had been lying low for so long, all just to finish this chess game.
"I made a mistake... underestimating this country bumpkin... But aren’t you scared?" The second mistress knew she was done for. Her family was finished. But even on the brink of death, she wanted to take someone down with her.
"What should I be afraid of?"
"This man is full of tricks. He stirs up so much trouble in the blink of an eye. How can you be sure that he won’t use his schemes against you and your family in the future? You are Fan Huang’s eldest daughter. After he has exploited all benefits from you, you will be the first one he turns against. I’ve seen it happen many times. If he can be ruthless with us today, he will step on you tomorrow when you’re no longer of use. You’re just his steppingstone!"
"Ha." Suizi laughed, a cold laugh.
