The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Pan Chengyun was also hurrying towards the Pan residence on horseback.

It's not that I'm in a hurry to attend my mother's birthday banquet.

It was her mistress, Huang Yao, who was eager to see her.

He had been on official business for many days and hadn't seen Yao'er for so long, so he missed her terribly.

And his child, he hasn't seen him in a long time, and he misses him terribly.

He knew that he and Yao'er were the true love, but unfortunately, Yao'er's wife was standing in the way.

Pan Chengyun often felt indignant on behalf of Huang Yao.

Both being women, Yao'er was beautiful and intelligent, and charming. Qin Wanyue, on the other hand, was crude and vulgar.

Unfortunately, one was just an ordinary woman, while the other was a noblewoman from a high-ranking family.

Why is fate so unfair?

If Yao'er were the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, wouldn't I be marrying Yao'er?

Over the years, Yao'er has been raised outside the family because of Qin Wanyue's presence, and she has never been allowed to be kept in the open.

He also had to pretend to be a respectful and courteous person to Qin Wanyue.

However, I'll have to take matters into my own hands after the birthday party.

Pan Chengyun's gaze turned cold. As long as Qin Wanyue died, he could rightfully take Yao'er into his household.

Two years later, I will make her my official wife.

He urged the coachman to go faster.

They finally made it back to the Pan residence.

Pan Chengyun got off the carriage.

Qin Wanyue felt nauseous when she saw Pan Chengyun get off the carriage.

However, she still greeted him with a smile on her face.

"My husband is back. You must be tired from your long journey."

Pan Chengyun smiled at her gently: "Madam, you've only been back a few days and you're already busy preparing for your birthday banquet."

If you didn't know better, you would definitely be very envious of their respectful and courteous relationship.

But when Qin Wanyue learned about what Pan Chengyun had done in secret, she felt a chill run down her spine.

This person has been incredibly good at disguising himself all these years.

Pan Chengyun and Qin Wanyue were talking when they suddenly saw Huang Yao standing at the door of the inner room, which startled them.

Huang Yao stood under the dark tiled roof and boldly gave Pan Chengyun a smile.

Pan Chengyun quickly went inside, saying he had just returned and needed to change his clothes.

Qin Wanyue nodded, noticing the slight panic on Pan Chengyun's face.

Turning around, Huang Yao was indeed standing behind Pan Chengyun's hurried figure.

Qin Wanyue's nails dug deeply into her flesh.

She tried to calm her breathing as she greeted the guests.

Pan Chengyun gave Huang Yao a wink and called her aside to a secluded spot.

"Why did you come here?" Pan Chengyun asked nervously.

"My aunt Yan Yuelan is unwell and couldn't accept the invitation, so I came in her place. What, you don't want to see me?" Huang Yao said coquettishly.

"No, it's just that I think it's too dangerous for you to come now. What if she finds out?" Pan Chengyun's expression softened when he heard that he had come in place of his aunt.

"Your wife is incredibly stupid. She probably wouldn't even notice if we were exchanging glances right under her nose."

Pan Chengyun felt that if he was cautious, there shouldn't be any problems; he figured Qin Wanyue wouldn't think that far ahead. Besides, his whole family was there to cover for him.

Huang Yao stood on tiptoe and brought her mouth close to Pan Chengyun's ear.

"I just bought a new bellyband, it's fuchsia. Want to try it on?"

The warm breath brushed against Pan Chengyun's ear. He hadn't been with a woman for many days, and Huang Yao's sudden teasing stirred his heart, making him restless and unable to restrain himself.

The two lingered affectionately for a while before parting. Pan Chengyun went back to his room to change his clothes, while Huang Yao went directly to the banquet hall.

The banquet began soon afterward.

Qin Wanying was summoned to sit next to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess and Qin Wanying were talking, and Qin Wanying responded with ease and propriety.

This greatly surprised the eldest princess, who was impressed that Qin Wanying could answer so calmly at such a young age, and she grew to like Qin Wanying even more.

Seeing the Princess and the two Qin sisters being so close, Huang Yao felt increasingly uncomfortable.

She secretly felt it was unfair. Why were the Qin sisters not only born into a good family, but also favored by the Princess?

If I were a noblewoman from a high-ranking family, I certainly wouldn't be any worse than them.

However, it doesn't matter. Even after you, Qin Wanyue, die, I can still take your place.

Madam Pan greeted everyone, but not Huang Yao.

Huang Yao didn't seem displeased at all.

Qin Wanyue noticed this, which means they had been secretly familiar with each other for a long time.

After the birthday banquet had been going on for a while, Pan Chengyun gave Huang Yao a wink and left the table.

Qin Wanyue chatted and laughed with the eldest princess, observing everything without making a sound.

After a while, Huang Yao also left her seat.

Qin Wanyue and Qin Wanying exchanged a glance.

After a while, Qin Wanyue turned to the Princess and said, "Your Highness is new to my Pan residence, why don't you come and stroll around the house with me? The flowers in the back garden are in full bloom."

The eldest princess nodded. She was a sporty person, and she felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for so long.

"Wan Ying, come with me."

Qin Wanying nodded respectfully: "Yes."

With the princess as witness, those scumbags and bitches can no longer deny it.

The three of them walked to the back garden, which was quite secluded, with no servants or guards watching over it.

The Pan residence wasn't originally this big; it was expanded by Qin Wanyue using her own money after she married into the family.

As they walked, they suddenly heard the sounds of men and women engaging in sensual pleasure.

The princess frowned, wondering what that sound was.

In broad daylight, at a birthday party, could someone be engaging in lewd behavior in broad daylight?

The group moved a little closer together.

Now, all the sounds inside could be heard clearly.

It seems to have ended inside; the man and woman are talking.

"Yao'er, this undergarment is just what I wanted," the man said breathlessly.

"How does she compare to the legitimate daughter of your noble family?" A woman's sweet voice came from inside the room.

"How can Qin Wanyue compare to my Yao'er? You are ten thousand times better than her."

Qin Wanyue, who was outside, could clearly hear the conversation inside. She heard her husband, Pan Chengyun, entangled with another woman in the room and slandering her.

Over the years, Qin Wanyue has had a clear conscience towards the Pan family.

Before she learned the truth, she truly loved Pan Chengyun.

Now, Pan Chengyun's words, "How can Qin Wanyue compare to my Yao'er? You are ten thousand times better than her," are like a sharp knife, deeply piercing her heart.

She thought that seeing such a scene would no longer move her, but she still felt her heart bleeding.

The eldest princess, standing to the side, also frowned deeply.

She recognized the voice inside as that of Qin Wanyue's husband, Pan Chengyun.

It was common knowledge in the capital that Pan Chengyun had no concubines other than Qin Wanyue.

Everyone said that Pan Chengyun was a good husband. Although he came from a humble background, he treated his wife very well, and even the princess envied him.

But now, they're having an affair in broad daylight at the Pan residence, right at the old lady's birthday banquet.

Pan Chengyun continued speaking from inside: "Starting tomorrow, I will take action and poison Qin Wanyue to death."

"Qin Wanyue's fourth brother is away treating the epidemic and is unable to attend to others. By the time he returns, Qin Wanyue will have already passed away."

"In another year or two, I will bring you into my household, and then we won't have to sneak around anymore."

Qin Wanyue's face was pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly. She kicked the door open with one foot.
