Your Highness, your wife doesn't want you anymore!

Since the day that Jin's wife was publicly ordered by Jin Jingnian to be sent back to the Jin family's old residence, she has fallen ill again.

He was depressed and fell seriously ill, spending days bedridden.

Sure enough, Liu Ruoxue, who had always been attached to Madam Jin and close to the Jin family, came straight to their door.

Nan Zhi was holding a watering can and slowly watering the potted plants, looking peaceful and relaxed.

Aunt Qing walked over quickly, looking anxious, and reported in a low voice, "Young Madam, Liu Ruoxue has come to see you and insists on seeing you."

The watering motion suddenly stopped, and water droplets rolled down the flower petals.

Nan Zhi lowered her eyes and remained silent for two seconds before speaking in a calm and even tone: "Let her in."

Liu Ruoxue had always looked down on her. In the past, whenever she went to the Jin family's old house, Jin Si Nian was never present.

Liu Ruoxue would always make sarcastic remarks and target her in secret, but these were just simple verbal disputes and never really escalated to the surface.

She understood Liu Ruoxue's thoughts.

In the past, at all the public banquets of the Jin family, everyone assumed that Liu Ruoxue was Jin Si Nian's date and also dreamed of marrying into the Jin family.

Unfortunately, Mrs. King would not allow her to marry Kings.

When choosing a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jin placed great importance on the family power behind the woman, as it could bring benefits to Jin Si Nian and the entire Jin family.

Liu Ruoxue, on the other hand, was an orphan with no family background and no one to rely on.

In this matter, Mrs. Jin was exceptionally fair.

Whether it was herself, who came from an ordinary background, or Liu Ruoxue, whom she favored and raised by her side since childhood, neither of them were worthy of the high and mighty Jin Nian in Madam Jin's eyes.

She doesn't like either of them!

Aunt Qing hesitated, not daring to say anything more, and withdrew, personally leading Liu Ruoxue into the backyard.

As soon as Liu Ruoxue stepped into the courtyard, her face was filled with hostility, and she looked arrogant and domineering.

She rushed to Nan Zhi, grabbed her wrist without a word, and pulled her forward forcefully.

"Come with me. Your foster mother is sick, yet you still have the mind to water the flowers."

Caught off guard, Nan Zhi swayed backward abruptly, her heels nearly leaving the ground, and she almost fell straight down.

A sense of vigilance instantly rose in my heart, and I subconsciously protected my stomach.

She deliberately slowed her speech and calmly said, "Madam, it seems... you don't want to see me."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Ruoxue slapped the phone out of her hand, her eyes blazing with anger, and shouted, "It's all your fault!"

"If it weren't for your narrow-mindedness and your secret instigation of Brother Si Nian, how could our adoptive mother have been publicly kicked out of the villa and fallen ill?"

"Now that your adoptive mother is seriously ill and bedridden, you're leisurely enjoying yourself here watering flowers!"

"Come back to the old house with me immediately to take care of your foster mother."

As she spoke, she reached out again to pull Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi's mind raced, but reason prevailed over her displeasure.

She is currently pregnant with twins and cannot engage in any physical contact with Liu Ruoxue.

The other party insisted on taking her away, which was ultimately just an excuse to use Madam Jin's illness as a pretext to shift all the blame onto her and vent her long-suppressed resentment.

They just wanted to vent their anger on her.

Nan Zhi gently pulled away Liu Ruoxue's hand that was gripping her sleeve, looked up at the furious Liu Ruoxue, and said calmly, "I... understand, I'll go with you."

Oh well, what can I do when Mrs. Jin is the mother of the sugar daddy?

Just as Liu Ruoxue left the house, Jin Si Nian saw on the security camera that his hand, which was carving a swan, paused before he picked up his phone and texted Nan Zhi: "Zhi Zhi, why did you go out again?"

[Still with this woman!]

[Child, don't play with her. That woman has a very wicked mind.]

Where did you go again? Why didn't you report it to me?

Nan Zhi knew there were surveillance cameras outside the door, and Jin Si Nian would see her as soon as she stepped out. She didn't expect his news to come so quickly.

Little did she know that, apart from her room, every other room was under surveillance.

Ever since he said those words that day, she has felt nothing but fear and unease.

What he said seemed to be true; he really wanted to marry her.

It wasn't for her body.

These days, he's been very clingy.

Nan Zhi replied: "Madam Jin is ill, so I'm going to visit her."

He should have known that Mrs. Jin was ill.

Jin Nian: [My mom's sick again, Zhi Zhi, you shouldn't hang around her.]

She forbids you from calling her "Mom," and you don't need to visit her, let alone serve her.

Nan Zhi glanced at him but didn't reply.

Jin Nian was a restless person, so he dropped the half-carved "swan" and hurriedly went to the old house.

Zhizhi is a gentle person and always tolerant.

He has to protect them, so they don't get bullied.

The Jin family's old house, a cool and elegant two-story attic.

It was quiet outside the bedroom door, with a faint smell of bitter medicine in the air.

Nan Zhi stood quietly by the door, her feet hesitant to move.

Inside the room, Madam Jin leaned against the headboard, her face sickly pale, but her brows still held the arrogant air of her past.

Liu Ruoxue stayed by her bedside without leaving for a moment, being extremely attentive, sometimes feeding her medicine, sometimes kneeling down and raising her hands to massage her shoulders and neck.

Nan Zhi looked at her: Lackey!

Even Kings might not have been as attentive as her.

Madam Jin did not allow Nan Zhi to step into the bedroom.

on purpose.

He deliberately made things difficult for her, wanting to vent his anger from last time.

After a moment of silence, Madam Jin's indifferent gaze passed over the doorframe and landed directly on Nan Zhi outside the door. Her tone was icy and blunt: "Nan Zhi, you should know that your three-year agreement with Si Nian only has one month left, right?"

Nan Zhi's fingers tightened slightly, her eyes lowered, and her tone was steady but with a habitual stutter: "I...I understand."

"When the time comes... I will leave on my own."

"I won't get entangled with it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jin's sharp eyes swept over Nan Zhi from head to toe: "That's good. You still remember what you said three years ago. I think highly of you for sticking to your principles."

Her tone abruptly shifted, now carrying an undeniable force: "But before you leave, I need you to do something for me."

"If you get things done, I'll give you an extra three million as a reward."

"If I can't get it done, I want to get out of here immediately, leave Si Nian and leave the Jin family."

Nan Zhi subconsciously bit her lower lip, her heart suddenly leaped into her throat, pounding wildly, and a strong sense of unease rose within her.

"No, I don't know what you mean by that, madam?"

Mrs. Jin didn't beat around the bush; her voice landed clearly: "Help Miss Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoxue, who was obediently serving by the bedside, instantly changed her expression. Her fingertips clenched tightly into her palms, her lips turned white from being bitten, and her eyes were filled with intense resentment and jealousy.

After getting rid of Nan Zhi, Madam Jin immediately appointed another woman to become the Jin family's designated young mistress.

What about her?

She also likes Brother Si Nian!

Madam Jin looked at Nan Zhi outside the door and said, word by word, "Zhou Qingwan is the future daughter-in-law of the Jin family that I personally chose."

"I need you to step in and help me make this happen, so that Jin Si Nian can marry Zhou Qing Wan."

Nan Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and her face paled.

She actually felt a little sour.
