Wen Ke watched her cough and felt a little worried for a moment, but after taking two steps forward, he couldn't help but stop.

"Mother is unwilling to cooperate with the Wen family because she was the one who betrayed the Wen royal family in the first place, right?" Wen Ke asked while standing still.

Wen Rongxue's heart seemed to grow colder as he listened to her words.

Wen Mengyang helped her catch her breath. Wen Rongxue reluctantly sat on the soft seat and looked at Wen Ke calmly, "Do you think so?"

"Isn't it?"

"If mother had not abandoned the Wen family, my parents would not have been beheaded, right?" Wen Ke said in a low voice.

Wen Rongxue burst into laughter when she heard this: "You think that without my help, Su Qingluo would not have succeeded in seizing the throne, right?"

Wen Ke pursed her lips, stubbornly refusing to speak, but from her expression it was clear that she did think so.

"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Yuan Zhao is?" Wen Rongxue asked.

"Mother, do you even think that I'm not as good as her?" Wen Ke asked unwillingly.

Wen Rongxue laughed: "You dare to come here to ask me these things today, you must be fully confident that you can control all the forces in the city, right?"

"Yes." Wen Ke did not hide it from her.

This was something that had already been planned, but because of the sudden murders and the pressure from Wen Rongxue today, Wen Ke had no choice but to seize power directly. She originally wanted to take it step by step and discuss it with Wen Rongxue.

Wen Rongxue laughed: "The biggest difference between you and Yuan Zhao is that she knows what she can and cannot do, and how capable she is, while you like to aim high."

"Ako, it's never a bad thing to be ambitious, but are your abilities enough to match your ambitions? If you can't even control the Wen Clan, how can you control the world?"

"And do you really think you understand Yuan Zhao? What you see is just what she wants you to see, what she wants you, the Su family, and the Wen family to see."

"Just because she kills a few people, you can't wait to show your trump card. Isn't that stupid?" Wen Rongxue sighed softly.

Wen Ke was a little dazed: "What does mother mean by this?"

"No...how is that possible?" Wen Ke was still unwilling to accept this fact.

Wen Rongxue smiled and waved at her: "Now the military power of all the southern regions is in your hands, why are you still staying here? Go and tell your aunt the good news."

Facing Wen Rongxue's calm smile, Wen Ke suddenly felt an indescribable uneasiness, as if all her actions were controlled by others.

No, that wouldn't happen. How could she be controlled by Wen Zhimiao? Now that the military power in the south is in her hands, she has nothing to fear.

Although the people who died that day cut off some of her support, it would be nice if she could support some more people.

Wen Ke walked to Wen Ziqiong's yard in a daze, and the rain began to get heavier again.

She stood at the door, her clothes wet with rain.

However, Wen Ke never had the courage to push open the door and go in.

At this moment on the other side, Shi Wanyue had already landed on the island.

When she went to find Wen Rongxue, Wen Rongxue arranged a boat for her. The boat had strong ability to withstand wind and waves, so it was no problem for her to just cross the lake on a rainy day like this.

There were not many people in the Ghost Market these past two days. It rained heavily and not many people came, so Shi Wanyue stood out particularly when walking in the Ghost Market.

She was wearing a dress with red as the main color and green as some accents. She had a red ghost mask on her face and a strange seal hanging around her waist. Red flames were swaying on the hem of her skirt.

The slender wrist holds the umbrella, revealing the fair wrist.

She was a sight to behold as she walked through the bustling ghost market.

There is an eerie feeling of tranquility and elegance.

Behind her followed a tall guard in black tights. The guard's arms were exposed with a long, hideous scar, and he looked like a woman.

"Young lady, turn left ahead." Shi Wanyue was not familiar with the road. This guard was assigned to her by Wen Rongxue and was considered one of Wen Rongxue's confidants.

"Thank you." The voice behind the mask sounded a bit dull.

The two walked all the way to the entrance of the casino, which was still lively and even noisy.

Shi Wanyue put away her umbrella and the guards followed her inside.

As soon as the two of them entered, a servant came over to greet them: "What are you two playing?"

The guard took out a token and asked, "Where is Qian Liuniang?"

As soon as the servant saw the token, he bowed immediately and treated the two people as distinguished guests.

"Sixth Lady is entertaining guests. You two distinguished guests can go to the private room and wait first."

"No need, just take us there." Shi Wanyue handed a silver ingot to the servant.

"This..." The servant hesitated.

The guard glanced at him and said, "Mrs. Qian Liu will not blame you."

For the sake of the silver ingot, the servant took the two of them directly there.

At this moment, Qian Liuniang was having dinner with Wen Zhimiao and others. To be honest, she felt like she was coaxing a child.

After all, among the three people in front of him, one could not tell that he was the deep-minded Prince Yuan Zhao, one was the head of the Duan family, and the other should be the precious young lady of the Bian family.

But now the three of them were fighting and playing around, and they just looked like a bunch of childish kids.

They kept fighting over the shrimps, as if she was mistreating them.

Qian Liuniang was playing with the dagger in her hand when she heard a knock on the door.

"Sixth Lady, a distinguished guest is looking for you." The servant's voice came from outside the door.

Qian Liuniang stood up and saw Wen Zhimiao chewing on a chicken wing with his hands, his mouth full of oil.

"Sixth sister is so busy." When Qian Liuniang opened the door, Wen Zhimiao's voice just happened to reach Shi Wanyue's ears.

Her slightly cold gaze fell on the person with a greasy mouth. She was worried that something was wrong with Wen Zhimiao, but she herself was very relaxed and happy.

"May I ask who this distinguished guest is?" Qian Liuniang looked at the woman standing at the door. Judging from her stature, she should not be very old.

"We are old friends."

From the moment she appeared at the door, Wen Zhimiao recognized who she was.

It was just that he was so surprised that Shi Wanyue would come over that he didn't even say hello for a moment.

"Sixth sister, let her in, she's my friend." Wen Zhimiao spoke quickly.

Qian Liuniang smiled and said to Shi Wanyue: "Since you are Miaomiao's friend, please feel free to do as you please. No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Sixth Sister." Shi Wanyue nodded slightly to Qian Liuniang.

Qian Liuniang laughed, took a puff of her cigarette lazily, and motioned Shi Wanyue to find a place to sit.

Shi Wanyue walked straight to Wen Zhimiao and sat down.

Bian Ruitong looked at Wen Zhimiao with some curiosity: "Miaomiao, you have friends here too?"

Wen Zhimiao was about to speak when a white finger landed on her lips.

Shi Wanyue winked at her.

Wen Zhimiao didn't say anything.

"Yeah, don't you see who I am?"

She is quite cocky.
