Cheng Xuening was a little puzzled. Qin Yunzheng, that idiot, always acted like she was worshipping the Cheng family like royalty whenever she came to her house.
Why was she so cold today? Could it be that she was heartbroken and had a mental breakdown?
Just then, Zhang Li came to the door carrying a basin full of dirty clothes. Seeing Yun Zheng, she raised her eyebrows and gestured to a maid, “Oh, Yun Zheng is alright. Since you’re better, come and wash some clothes for me. I’m exhausted today and have been waiting for your help.”
These words came from Cheng Xuening’s mother, a shrewd and calculating woman.
In her past life, she had taken advantage of the original owner’s longing for a father, pretending to be a loving mother and making the original owner open her heart and do housework whenever she had free time, all to gain the Cheng family’s approval.
Giving up her position as the Qin family’s little princess to become a slave in the heartless Cheng family!
What a weirdo! Not only is she pretentious and selfish, but she’s also hopelessly stupid!
“Okay~”
Yun Zheng lowered her eyes and walked casually toward Zhang Li. Cheng Xuening breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. It seems that this idiot hasn’t changed and still only obeys her family.
The thought had barely formed when it was interrupted by Zhang Li’s scream,
“Ouch!”
“Sorry, I didn’t hold on properly.” Yun Zheng leaned casually against the wall behind her, the floor covered in water, the basin and dirty clothes scattered everywhere, a mischievous expression on her face.
“Oh, it’s a pity I didn’t kill you…”
Zhang Li rolled around on the floor in pain, clutching her foot that had been hit hard by the basin. Cheng Xuening was so frightened that she quickly went over to help her up.
“Mom, Mom, are you alright?”
“What’s all the noise about!” Cheng Linshi, who was taking a nap, came out with an angry face, leaning on her cane. She was stunned when she saw Yun Zheng, and said in a respectful tone, “Yun Zheng, you’re here. Why didn’t you bring anything today? Have you forgotten that you have a brother who hasn’t had any oil or fat for days and was waiting for you to bring some meat?”
“Old hag, you’re really senile! I’m not your grandson’s mother. What business is it of mine if your grandson doesn’t have meat to eat? You, an elder, comes here asking a junior like me for it, shameless old woman!”
Yun Zheng sneered at the sharp-tongued old woman.
Unlike Qin Baishi, Cheng Linshi favored sons over daughters. She had two sons, and her eldest daughter-in-law gave her a grandson, Cheng Fugui, who was two years older than the original owner. Cheng Linshi spoiled him like a little tyrant, always giving him the best of everything. Even after the original owner was rescued from the river in her previous life, the Cheng family didn’t let go of the original owner’s last bit of value.
Only after the original owner was exploited to the point where she could no longer bring any benefit to the Cheng family was she completely abandoned, dying with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
A classic case of squandering a winning hand!
Yun Zheng was truly ashamed of being reborn into the original owner’s body.
Cheng Linshi, used to ordering Yun Zheng around and accustomed to Yun Zheng’s fawning and subservience, was immediately humiliated by the sudden barrage of sarcastic remarks.
“Grandma, Qin Yunzheng seems to have gone mad! She just kicked down our door and now she’s hurt my mother’s foot!”
Cheng Xuening seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, hoping Cheng Linshi would teach Yun Zheng a lesson and prevent her from becoming arrogant.
“Qin Yunzheng, you brat! I’m your grandmother! Don’t you have any respect for your elders?!”
Cheng Linshi angrily slammed her cane on the ground.
In her youth, she had worked as a housekeeper for a wealthy capitalist family in old Shanghai. Although the struggles of playing cards had tempered her ambition, her capitalist spirit remained strong; she considered herself an empress dowager, and no one in the Cheng family dared to oppose her.
