Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Having eliminated all possible potential dangers, Lian Rongrong began to lead everyone in digging the secret passage with all their might.

While Lian Rongrong was busy day and night, Wen Hui was trying every means to get Lian Rongrong's treasure.

On the third day after discovering the secret, Wen Hui finally found an opportunity to speak with Lian Xiuyan.

Because of Wang Yang's previous antics, Lian Rongrong gave the young master the smallest and most dilapidated room.

Wang Yang was always sulking, but he refused to back down, so Lian Xiuyan often had to come and help him.

To please her son, Lian Xiuyan often secretly took some dried meat or popcorn to Wang Yang.

On this day, Lian Xiuyan had just come out of Wang Yang's place when Wen Hui caught her red-handed.

"Is Aunt here to see my cousin again?" Wenhui asked with a smile as she stepped forward.

Lian Xiuyan rolled her eyes at Wen Hui, then walked past her and said irritably:

"None of your business! I'm here to see my son, is that any of your business?"

After the Tianzhan Bridge incident, the alliance between Lian Xiuyan and Wen Hui completely collapsed.

However, Wenhui firmly believes that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies.

Wen Hui ignored Lian Xiuyan's cold words and kept a friendly smile on her face.

"Why is my aunt so hostile towards me? Don't forget, we used to be the best allies."

"Allies? Pshaw!" Lian Xiuyan rolled her eyes and continued:

"Back then, on the edge of the cliff, you were always helping your good mother-in-law!"

Wen Hui gave a slight smirk; she had long known that Lian Xiuyan was holding a grudge over this matter. However, for Wen Hui, manipulating that foolish woman, Lian Xiuyan, was a piece of cake.

"Aunt, why don't you understand? I pretended to help my mother-in-law, but I was actually helping you!"

Think about it carefully. If I hadn't stopped you, your mother-in-law would have fought you to the death.

Lian Xiuyan snorted coldly, and then said, "Am I afraid she'll fight to the death?"

"You weren't afraid, but your father-in-law's attitude was very firm at the time. You have to understand that your parents-in-law have supported each other their whole lives."

If your mother-in-law really doesn't agree, would your father-in-law accept your opinion? Besides, Rongrong and the others came back safe and sound later!

Even if I hadn't stopped you, and even if you had succeeded, how would Wang Yang's cousin face himself once the two Lian brothers returned?

And with that arrogant and domineering Lian Rongrong added to the mix, do you think she'll let you off the hook?

After Wen Hui said that, Lian Xiuyan's attitude softened a bit.

But even Xiuyan wasn't stupid; she naturally knew why Wenhui had stood up against her so fiercely back then.

"Wenhui, don't put on such nice words. Do you think I don't know what you were planning on that cliff edge?"

Wen Hui seemed completely unfazed by Lian Xiuyan's yin-yang slur. She smiled slightly, affectionately took Lian Xiuyan's arm, and whispered:

Wenhui knew that nothing could be hidden from her aunt, and she had no intention of hiding anything. But everyone has their own selfish motives, and her aunt must understand that.

However, I swear, at the time, besides thinking of myself, I did consider your and Yue'er's situation as well.

Wen Hui deliberately brought up Wang Yue to make Lian Xiuyan hate Lian Rongrong even more.

Lian Xiuyan snorted coldly, roughly pulled out her arm, and asked warily:

"What exactly do you want today? Are you just trying to annoy me with these bland, meaningless words?"

Seeing that Lian Xiuyan was slightly angry, Wen Hui felt more confident, because she knew very well that Lian Xiuyan's anger was mostly directed at Lian Rongrong, not at her.

"Aunt, please don't misunderstand me. I've come to see you today because I want to join forces with you to teach that Lian Rongrong a lesson!"

"Join forces? Hmph!" Lian Xiuyan glanced at Wen Hui sideways and continued, "Who knows if you'll suddenly switch sides again?"

“How could that be, Aunt? Times have changed. Lian Yicheng and Father-in-law haven’t returned for half a month now.”

They're doing something that could cost them their lives. And with my older brother still alive, there's no way this family will fall into my hands in the future.

Since that's the case, it's better to give it to my cousin. As long as my aunt is willing to guarantee me a lifetime of wealth and honor, Wenhui is willing to do everything in her power to plan for my cousin's future!

Lian Xiuyan looked at Wen Hui with suspicion, while Wen Hui seized the opportunity and asked Lian Xiuyan mysteriously:

"Does Aunt know why, since Lian Rong was divorced and returned to her family, she has not only not suffered any misfortune, but has actually become increasingly successful?"

"Why?" Lian Xiuyan had indeed fallen for the trick.

"Because she has a treasure that can bring good fortune."

"Baby? What baby?" Lian Xiuyan frowned slightly, quite doubtful of the credibility of Wen Hui's words.

"It's that amber ring on her hand! I saw her secretly looking at the ring today, and it was emitting a green light."

Aunt, think about it, Yue'er was originally one of the most talented women in the capital.

But now? She was forced to leave the Lian family and suffer with Qi Wangsheng.

If their fate hadn't been altered by some evil magic, how could things have turned out this way? And the entire Lian family—since Lian Rong returned, apart from herself, has anyone in the family had anything good happen to them?

Therefore, I guess that thing should be able to absorb the luck of those around it and use it for its own benefit.

Lian Rong used all of our misfortune to buy her own pleasure!

Hearing Wen Hui's detailed and detailed account, even Xiu Yan couldn't help but mutter to herself, since she had heard the story of that amber ring before.

The amber ring's claim of being bound to its owner was something Lian Xiuyan made a big deal out of back then. Looking back now, it seems that this thing might really be a bit eerie.

"Then what do you mean?" Lian Xiuyan's attitude completely changed, and she began to walk step by step into the dangerous situation that Wen Hui had designed.

"Aunt, think about it, since this thing is a treasure, if you were to take control of it, wouldn't the fates of Yue'er and Cousin Wang Yang change?"

Once you possess the power of fortune, what will Lian Rong have to fear?

Lian Xiuyan's greedy heart began to stir, but she still cautiously asked Wen Hui:

"If it's so good, why don't you just go and steal it yourself?"

"Oh my dear aunt, do you think I can just snatch that thing away whenever I want?"

Can't you tell what Lian Rong's attitude towards me is now? It's just that I'm still holding the title of her second sister-in-law.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been kicked out of the Lian family long ago, just like Yue'er!

Moreover, Lian Yicheng doesn't like me, we haven't consummated our marriage yet, and I have no children. What would be the point of having many?

As long as my aunt protects me and my cousin remembers my kindness in the future, I will have no worries for the rest of my life!

Lian Xiuyan remained silent for a while, but in the end, greed took over her heart.

She looked up at Wen Hui, her eyes gleaming, and said, "Okay, I'll cooperate with you!"

Thus, Wenhui's first step in her plan was considered a success.

The two women whispered among themselves in the corner for a while before leaving as if nothing had happened!
