Can’t stay?
Astonished, Liu Fen looked at Madame Ling. She couldn’t believe that now, even Madame Ling wanted to kick her out!
But it was Madame Ling who came up with idea. She was only following orders, so where did she go wrong?
They were adamant on kicking her out! Then what of all of the grievances and humiliation she had endured? What did the beating she received from Ling Tingya amount to? Who would compensate for the teeth she had knocked out of her?
Seeing that she was so close to getting Ling Tao, Liu Fen was not satisfied. It seemed to her that if she were to leave this place, she would end up with nothing. The life that rightfully belonged to her, the wealth that belonged to her son, everything will be gone.
Liu Fen was thinking about all of the injustices she was facing, but she failed to realize that all of these things did not actually belong to her. They were simply a manifestation of a beautiful, yet fragile dream that Madame Ling had woven for her. It was she herself who had fallen too deep into the dream.
“Madame Ling, I cannot leave!” Liu Fen said, vigorously shaking her head. “It was clearly you who instructed me to…”
“Take her out!” Seeing that Liu Fen was on the verge of blurting out the truth, Madame Ling immediately got someone to take Liu Fen out of Ling Tao’s room.
Afraid that Liu Fen would say something out of line, Madame Ling physically covered Liu Fen’s mouth with her hand, cutting off her speech.
Madame Ling took Liu Fen away and the second floor was finally quiet. Ling Tao looked at his bed with disgust. Thinking back to just a moment ago, when Liu Fen was sitting on it, stark naked, he felt incredibly sickened.
That night, he slept in the guest room and ordered his servants to get him a new bed for his room.
Madame Ling dragged Liu Fen out of the Ling residence and didn’t loosen her grip until she was confident that Ling Tao wouldn’t hear anything.
“Madame, you can’t treat me like this! I was only following your orders. Now that there is a problem, you’re kicking me out?” Liu Fen was bawling, her cries ear-splitting. “Everyone in my hometown knows that I came to the city to become Mistress Ling. By kicking me out like this, do you want me to die?”
As she spoke, Liu Fen picked up a large rock from the ground. “Now that it has come to this, I might as well die here. Even if I do go back, I would be too ashamed to continue living.”
Madame Ling furrowed her brows. Seeing Liu Fen throwing a tantrum, she was beyond furious, so much so that she could feel the roots of her teeth itching. “If you want to die, then die. There is no one stopping you.”
Seeing that there really was no one stopping her, she began to panic. She couldn’t really hit herself now, could she? Thinking this, Liu Fen regretfully placed the rock back on the ground and her entire body crumbled onto the floor, both hands slapping the ground as if she were wailing at a funeral.
“My life is terrible! I have been scammed! The entire Ling household ganged up to scam me! Now that my naked body has been seen, I am too ashamed to continue living.”
Madame Ling has had two ex-daughter-in-laws. The first ex-daughter-in-law was Ling Tianya’s mother, Yu Meizi. Although that woman ultimately eloped with someone else, while she was the daughter-in-law of the Ling family, she had never displayed such wretched behavior. She was always meek and quiet, a characteristic Madame Ling despised.
The second was Qu Wan. Looking aside from her malicious deeds, she was a decent daughter-in-law. She was great at flattery, clever, sweet-talking, and delightful.
Although both of the daughter-in-laws had left, neither of them would have displayed such behavior.
“Stop wailing!” Madame Ling bellowed. Despite being aware of Liu Fen’s shortcomings, she was interested in her twin gene, which was practically her weak point.
