I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"What's wrong? Why are you upset?"

Not long after He Junru disappeared from sight, the fourth wife returned and reappeared by her daughter's side.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother.

She could immediately see the changes in her daughter's condition.

"My second sister said that I am not as good as Mommy."

He Yihui didn't hide anything.

"what?"

Fourth Wife was caught off guard, and then tentatively asked, "In what way?"

Why did He Hui not answer?

Fourth Wife seemed to understand, her eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but glance in the direction He Junru had left.

As the night deepened outside, it was as if ink had seeped into water, gradually spreading and blurring.

"Does she know we have guests at home?"

In ordinary families, elders often look down on younger generations, feeling that they are too old and have more experience, so they like to condescendingly point fingers at them. However, this situation rarely occurs in the He family.

On the contrary, Fourth Wife was always quite wary of that maid from the second wife's family.

"Ah."

He Yihui nodded.

Fourth Wife sighed, "Alas, who knew she would suddenly come over? I should have taken down the red carpet."

He Yihui turned her head, her face expressionless, and calmly said, "Did Mommy conquer Daddy in the same way back then?"

conquer.

Perhaps it was because of this word, but Fourth Wife's expression suddenly stiffened slightly.

"Your second sister said that? She's really getting more and more out of line. No matter what, I'm her elder. What kind of behavior is this..."

"Yes or no."

Why did you ignore Hui?

"Of course... no!"

Fourth Aunt's face was full of determination, then she let out a cold laugh: "Do you think someone like your father can be won over with such a scheme? If it were that simple, you would have countless brothers and sisters. You must always remember that when dealing with men like this who are the pride of the times, any means are just a facade. The most fundamental factor is that he must have feelings for you. That is the prerequisite."

"In other words, Mommy still drugged her."

He Yihui is good at unraveling complexities.

The eloquent Fourth Wife was momentarily speechless, but without embarrassment, she said decisively, "What does she, a junior, know? She must be making things up based on rumors and hearsay. Nine times out of ten, it's just something her mother, who likes to gossip, has told her. I have never drugged her."

"What did Mommy do?"

He Yihui suddenly wanted to find out about her parents' past love story.

"Mommy..."

Fourth Wife opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to confess and clear her name, explaining, "Mommy just got him drunk."

He Yihui remained unfazed, "Mommy, is your alcohol tolerance really that high?"

"That was when I was young, and I can't compare to that now. Besides, when you really want to do something, your potential will be amplified infinitely."

After a pause, Fourth Aunt continued, a hint of arrogance unconsciously appearing on her face, which defied the power of time. "There's a saying in China: 'It's not wine that intoxicates, it's the person who intoxicates.' How can you pin all the blame on me? Women and men are the same; if you don't want to get drunk, how can you possibly get drunk?"

Ok.

Undeniable.

Profound truth.

"No wonder my second sister said I can't compare to Mommy."

He Yihui said, "I still need to administer the drug."

Fourth Wife was taken aback, then looked on with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. She opened her mouth to speak, then frowned and changed the subject: "Junru knew we drugged her? How could that be?"

A strong sense of vigilance immediately arose in her heart.

Could it be that there is a second wife in the family?

--well.

This is a huge misunderstanding! Miss He Er didn't mean it that way at all.

He Yihui probably knew her second sister's intentions, but she didn't explain. Anyway, she had lived in this strange family atmosphere since she was a child: unified yet conflicting. She didn't want to change it, nor did she have the ability to change it.

"Give me."

She raised her hand and opened her palm.

Fourth Aunt was baffled. "What?"

"Antidote."

Fourth Wife's eyes widened, her expression incredulous. "Huh?"

"Huihui, are you out of your mind?"

She quickly said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to wake Jiang Chen up? Now that so many people know about this, if you back down now, you'll only gain a bad reputation and nothing in return."

Seeing that her daughter remained unmoved, she raised her voice, "Do you know what this kind of behavior is called in law? It's called attempted crime, and it's a crime! Don't think that just because you woke her up, nothing will happen..."

It must be admitted that the fourth wife is indeed very knowledgeable, and every sentence she said was reasonable and logical.

What others think is none of my business.

What does that mean?
I don't care what you think, I care what I think.

"So what do you think?!"

Fourth Wife asked, both angry and anxious.

"I want to win fair and square."

He Yihui looked towards the main entrance, her tone soft yet resolute.

Foolish!

So all her well-intentioned advice was for nothing?

Fourth Aunt clutched her ample chest, looking extremely resentful. "You silly girl, you even received a Western education. Winning is winning, losing is losing, who cares about the process? Throughout history, the victor has always been king. Only a fool would be swayed by meaningless fame. Even now, think of Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze River, and what happened? He couldn't even protect his own family and the woman he loved most..."

"You do not understand."

He Yihui interrupted. It wasn't impolite, but if she let her mother continue, she didn't know how long and rambling things would go on.

"I don't understand?"

The fourth wife's chest heaved more violently beneath her smoky gray haute couture silk dress, her voice high-pitched, "If I don't understand, then explain it to me! What are you trying to do? What's your plan?"

"Mommy."

Compared to the fourth wife's agitation, He Yihui was shockingly calm. She asked, "Are you really happy to be misunderstood and gossiped about behind your back?"

The four women, who were in a state of boiling agitation, immediately quieted down.

"I believe that Daddy definitely has feelings for Mommy, just as I believe he has feelings for me."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and He Yihui smiled slightly. "Moreover, I also believe that his feelings for me are more than Daddy's feelings for Mommy."

"..."

Fourth Wife was stunned, lost in thought, then her red lips parted, her inner turmoil finally turning into a laugh and a scolding: "Even you look down on Mommy, huh?"

"How could that be? Without Mommy, I wouldn't be who I am today. But standing on Mommy's shoulders, I have to pursue something different, otherwise wouldn't I be letting down Mommy's efforts?"

The woman's smile made Fourth Wife's vision blur.

"Mommy."

The palm that had been outstretched in mid-air shook.

Fourth Wife slowly exhaled, and smiled wryly, "When did your eloquence become so good?"

"Antidote."

"No. He will wake up naturally in three hours."

He Yihui turned around and left, heading upstairs.

Fourth Wife turned around and called out:

"Remember, three hours!"

Judging by the time, an hour has already passed. (End of Chapter)
