So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Madam Lan gently held Ling Xiaofu's hand, her tone full of tension and worry, and every word she said carried a heavy weight.

"Xiao Fu, don't say that again. Jiu'an is different now. If you do something to her, you will be killed without a burial place. After all, she is the legitimate daughter. My Jiuxi has been favored for many years and has never changed like this. You must not act rashly."

When Ling Xiaofu heard this, the resentment in her heart grew like weeds. She clenched her teeth and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

"How can a loser like Ling Jiuan be worthy of this! Why does she deserve such treatment?!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lan gently patted the back of Ling Xiaofu's hand and smiled gently and obediently.

"Xiao Fu, you have to remember that there are some things that we cannot control. But you can rest assured that I know what's going on. I won't let you suffer any injustice."

As she spoke, Madam Lan took off a warm jade bracelet from her wrist. The jade bracelet glowed softly under the light.

"This bracelet is a top-grade magic weapon. It was given to me by the master of the family many years ago. You can use it to protect yourself."

Ling Xiaofu looked at the jade bracelet in front of her, with a hint of surprise and flattery in her eyes.

"Ma'am, isn't this too expensive? How can I accept it?"

Mrs. Lan shook her head slightly and smiled tenderly.

"How could that be? This bracelet is beautiful and suits you very well. Just think of it as a token of my appreciation to you."

When Ling Xiaofu heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and her admiration and loyalty to Madam Lan became even stronger.

"Madam, rest assured, I will listen to you. No matter what you ask me to do, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Mrs. Lan nodded with satisfaction, her smile was as warm and gentle as the spring breeze.

"Good girl, go! It's getting late, go back and have some rest! There will be a banquet at Ling's house tomorrow, it will be very lively. Little girl likes the excitement, don't get up too late and miss it."

Ling Xiaofu bowed respectfully, with determination and resoluteness flashing in her eyes.

"Thank you, ma'am! I will definitely attend on time. Ma'am, you should also go to bed early!"

After saying that, Ling Xiaofu turned and left.

Mrs. Lan stood there quietly, watching her leave, with a complex expression in her eyes.

Ling Xiaofu's figure gradually disappeared into the night. Mother Wang looked at Madam Lan with confusion in her eyes.

"Madam, why did you give such a good thing to her so easily?"

Madam Lan smiled coldly, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.

"What do you know? The bracelet was originally a pair. And since it's a magical tool, it means it has a different function. I gave it to Ling Xiaofu just as a favor to see if she is loyal or not."

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang frowned even more tightly. She still looked confused, as if she couldn't understand Mrs. Lan's meaning.

"I don't understand why Madam would do this."

Madam Lan curled her lips, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

"These two bracelets, one Yin and one Yang, are excellent sound transmission instruments, but ordinary people cannot see them. Now the Yin one is in Ling Xiaofu's hands, and I will know everything she says and does in the future. In this way, I can better grasp her movements and thoughts."

After listening to Mrs. Lan's explanation, a hint of regret flashed across Mother Wang's eyes.

"Shouldn't this thing be used on the one from Jiu'an Hall? After all, she is the legitimate daughter, and..."

Mrs. Lan shook her head, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Ling Jiuan is a cautious person, and Lei Ting beside her is definitely not an ordinary person. If I give this thing to her, I might end up losing more than I gain. I don't want to put myself in a passive position because of a momentary negligence."

If Ling Jiuan was so easy to deal with, Ling Jiuxi would not have been sent to the ancestral hall.

As she spoke, Madam Lan gently stroked the remaining yang bracelet on her wrist, a calculating gleam in her eyes.

"Besides, I have my own plans. Ling Jiuan, she will be mine sooner or later. As for Ling Xiaofu, she is just a chess piece and a spy in my hand."

When Mother Wang heard this, a trace of awe and fear flashed in her eyes.

She was well aware of Madam Lan's methods and intentions, and also understood her own position in the game.

"Yes, ma'am. I understand. Don't worry, I will follow you loyally and will never betray you."

Mrs. Lan nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, Mother Wang. As long as you follow me faithfully, I will not treat you unfairly. Go, it's getting late, you should also go to bed early."

Mother Wang bowed respectfully, with determination and loyalty shining in her eyes.

"Thank you, ma'am! I'll take my leave."

After saying that, she turned and left, secretly feeling fortunate that she could become Madam Lan's confidant.

Mrs. Lan stood there quietly, watching her leave, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

After Ling Xiaofu left Madam Lan's yard, she seemed to be feeling an indescribable resentment in her heart.

She clenched her fists and walked hurriedly, every step seeming to vent her inner dissatisfaction.

"Why do they have to be inferior to Ling Jiuan? Why does she deserve such treatment for a loser like her?"

She murmured in a low voice, her tone full of resentment and jealousy.

She is a waste, so how can she be treated like a legitimate daughter?

Even though Ling Jiuan could beat her, Ling Xiaofu still refused to admit in her heart that Ling Jiuan was not a waste.

When she reached Jiu'an Hall, she stopped and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She looked up at the tightly closed door, a sinister smile on her lips.

Is there a celebration party for Ling Jiuan tomorrow?

Humph, if she can't go or is late, doesn't that mean she will not only offend a lot of people, but also make the elders of the family unhappy?

As she thought about this, she seemed to have already seen the scene that made Jiuan so embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiaofu's mood suddenly became cheerful.

She curled her lips, her eyes flashing with pride and ferocity.

"Ling Jiuan, you are the one who doesn't know what life and death is, don't blame me!"

She took out two talismans from her storage bag and carefully stuck them on the door of Jiu'an Hall.

The two pieces of talisman paper looked particularly strange in the night, as if they contained some unspeakable power.

After pasting the talisman paper, Ling Xiaofu turned around and left triumphantly.

Her steps were light and cheerful, as if she had already anticipated the good show tomorrow.

"When I think that Ling Jiuan might not be able to attend the celebration banquet on time tomorrow, I feel very happy."

She laughed softly, and the laughter echoed in the night sky, sounding particularly harsh and cold.

As the night deepened, the door of Jiu'an Hall swayed gently in the breeze, and the two talismans seemed to be stirring, foreshadowing the coming storm.

Ling Xiaofu disappeared into the night with a heart full of calculations and expectations.
