Chapter 788 World 336
Chapter 788 World 336
Wei Linghua was determined to find Su Wan'er, or rather, to prove that Shen Ruwan was Su Wan'er.
Aside from her own reluctance to marry the Zhou prince and her desire to use Su Wan'er as a substitute, it was also because she was jealous of Shen Ruwan's excellence and felt that things shouldn't be this way.
Marquis Ning's thinking was more reasonable.
Wei Linghua is a cultivator, and she is the daughter he must keep in the manor for protection. No matter what, his own daughter can't surpass Wei Linghua.
If my biological daughter is alive, I'll raise her with the utmost care and cherish her, so she can contribute to the Ning Marquis's mansion when she grows up. If my biological daughter is gone, what does it matter if I find another one? I'll just raise a daughter who suits my taste.
This "daughter," whom they personally sent to raise, might even better meet the family's requirements.
If his biological daughter comes back then, whether he acknowledges her or not, and who she acknowledges, is entirely up to him. If she has had too little of a life of luxury, that is the result of his disobedient daughter's own actions, and has nothing to do with him.
Once Shen Ruwan understood these things, she would no longer have any expectations of parental affection for the couple in the Ninghou Mansion.
Who would be happy to have parents who only treat them as tools?
“Of course we have to find him,” Shen Ruwan said. “I don’t want the Marquis of Ning to achieve his goal so easily.”
It must be said that the people under Ning Hou's command are quite capable in their work.
After searching, Shen Ruyin and her companion discovered that the Ninghou family had four daughters living on different estates, all of whom were addressed as "Miss".
These four people never met, but they gave each other the same things and used the same items, and their manners and rules were similar.
The two postponed their return to the sect and carefully observed the four people. They discovered that one of them had been captured and spent his days in tears, longing to go home. Another had been sold by his family and was heartbroken, but was generally obedient to their teachings.
The other two are interesting.
One was the daughter of a servant in the Ninghou Mansion, whose family was plotting to rise to power in one fell swoop and then kick the Ninghou Mansion away.
The last one was a woman who came out of the painted boat. She lost her family when she was young and was all alone. She knew that the Ninghou Mansion was not doing anything good by taking her in, but she also wanted to make good use of the Ninghou Mansion to live a good life.
Shen Ruwan asked, "Yinyin, who do you think the Marquis of Ning will ultimately choose?"
Shen Ruyin looked at the four women and pointed to the second one: "I think the Marquis of Ning will choose the one who is obedient to the governess and has no thoughts of her own."
“Why?” Shen Ruwan looked at the last person, “this one is clearly more beautiful and looks more like the Ninghou couple.”
“Because they are all too opinionated,” Shen Ruyin replied. “The first one is obviously only able to be threatened by family members and is not likely to be truly obedient; the third one has rebellious intentions; and the fourth one is good because she is alone, but she is not easy to control.”
"The second one had family, but her family abandoned her, and she didn't have any of her own ideas, and she had a good temper."
"If Lady Ning truly treats her like her own daughter, do you think such a girl will come to regard Lady Ning as her own mother in the future?"
Shen Ruyin paused for a moment: "Just like Wei Linghua."
Wei Linghua was so fond of Lady Ninghou that she wouldn't allow anyone who resembled her mother. She would destroy those who resembled her mother, and if she couldn't destroy them, she would always harbor ill intentions towards them.
It is evident that Lady Ning, despite her gentle and mild appearance, possesses remarkable control over her family.
After listening to her analysis, Shen Ruwan also felt that she was right.
"Yinyin, which of these four girls do you think is the most suitable to cause the Ninghou Mansion to suffer a backlash in the future?"
Shen Ruyin answered without hesitation: "The fourth one."
Before Shen Ruwan could ask, she explained directly, "The fourth girl has no family and has even stayed in a place like a pleasure boat."
"The fact that she is still alive shows that she has a strong will to live. Such a person is very resilient and will not be willing to die easily, nor will she want anyone to disrupt her hard-won good life."
"Perhaps at first, she will try her best to please the Ning Marquis's family, but once the Ning Marquis's family does something to wrong her..."
"I think she's the one most capable of fighting back, not the one who resigns herself to fate."
Shen Ruwan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and say a few words to her."
Shen Ruyin thought for a moment: "Isn't it a bit risky for you to do this, sister?"
“It’s alright,” Shen Ruwan touched her face. “If she is as smart as we found out, once she sees my face and enters the Ninghou Mansion, she should be able to guess a lot of things.”
“If she’s a fool, we have plenty of ways to make her forget about it.”
"She is the one who ultimately needs a stable path to success, and she is also the one who hopes to seize this opportunity."
“Then go ahead, sister,” Shen Ruyin gently rested her chin on Yu Xing’s forehead, tilting her head at the same time. “We’ll wait for you here.”
Shen Ruwan nodded, but before leaving, she couldn't help but pat Shen Ruyin and Yu Xing on the head before getting off the spirit boat.
The girl was naturally wary of the person who suddenly appeared in the room, but no matter what sound she made, no one outside came to look. She sensed something was wrong and quickly changed her attitude.
"I wonder what brings this young lady here to seek me out?"
Shen Ruwan smiled and asked, "You're called Wei Wan'er now? What was your name before?"
Wei Wan'er thought this person had come specifically to check her learning progress, so she immediately said, "Yes, I am Wei Wan'er. I used to be called Su Wan'er."
Shen Ruwan shook her head: "You are neither Wei Wan'er nor Su Wan'er. I am referring to your original name."
Seeing that Wei Wan'er did not answer, Shen Ruwan's words carried a hint of seduction: "Do you want to know why the master here keeps you here?"
Wei Wan'er seemed to have figured something out: "What do you mean by this, Miss? I don't understand."
“You understand very well,” Shen Ruwan said, “the Wei family has not only supported you, but also three other Wei Wan’ers in the same situation as you. If you want to win in the end, it won’t be easy.”
Wei Wan'er's expression turned serious, and she remained silent.
Shen Ruwan continued, "Guess what would happen to you if you weren't chosen, and how the Wei family would try to completely cover it up?"
Wei Wan'er stared at her for a while, then resolutely knelt down in front of her.
"Please teach me, young lady."
They taught me, not saved me.
He is indeed a smart person.
