The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1113: Testing the Waters

Upon hearing Mama Quan’s speculation, Bai Shuilian’s face changed and she immediately said, "That’s impossible."Mama Quan smiled faintly as she looked at her, is it really impossible?

If it’s impossible, then why did Song Zhiqing suddenly stop coming to the Peaceful Garden, or when he did come, he would leave hurriedly after less than fifteen minutes? When a man falls out of love, it’s not suddenly so indifferent, is it?

There must have been something happening beyond their control, but unfortunately, it’s difficult to bribe people in this mansion, there are very few who can gather information; even if there are, the information isn’t of importance, truly useful ones are completely absent.

The blame is only on Bai Shuilian for not being favored enough, her connections aren’t good enough, and Song Zhiqing isn’t strong enough. If he were more capable, he wouldn’t be like a blind man relying solely on speculation.

Bai Shuilian bit her lip gently and said, "If he really found out anything, why hasn’t he made any moves? Look at this courtyard, everything for food, clothing, and living hasn’t dropped at all; even since Xiao Wu’s situation has fallen to what it is now, there’s not the slightest lack of provisions, rather it’s increased."

"Is it really that only by cutting down on the courtyard’s provisions can it be called making a move? Cutting an aunt’s provisions is a petty act, let alone an aunt with children by her side. If the Lady of the Prime Minister’s Mansion were such a person, then the mansion wouldn’t have gained the master’s favor." Mama Quan said disdainfully.

Bai Shuilian pursed her lips, snorting, "Mama is quite astute, so why do we still live peacefully?"

"That’s why I’m suspicious," Mama Quan squinted her eyes and said, "If he has truly found something but refrains from acting, could it be that he plans to use us as bait?"

Bai Shuilian’s eyes suddenly contracted.

Seeing her expression, a hint of contempt flashed in Mama Quan’s eyes, she shook her head and looked outside the window again, clenching her fists.

At an angle where Bai Shuilian couldn’t see, her eyes also showed a kind of worry, a bit of confusion.

The master hasn’t given any orders, she dared not make any moves, especially under the vague surveillance. Any action would be courting death.

"If we’ve been discarded, what should we do then?"

Bai Shuilian’s voice came from behind.

Mama Quan’s body shook slightly, she turned her head and said, "What should we do? Doesn’t the aunt have a way out? In this Prime Minister’s Mansion, as long as you hide your ’fox tail’ well, with a son and daughter by your side, you will definitely have a place to be buried, so you need not panic."

Bai Shuilian chuckled lightly, mocking, "You just said we seemed exposed, isn’t this contradictory?"

Mama Quan lowered her eyes and said, "This must be tested carefully."

Bai Shuilian’s eyes showed confusion, "How to test?"

Mama Quan walked over and said, "When Master comes, use your methods to keep him."

Bai Shuilian was a bit dazed, but then saw Mama Quan raise her hand in a chopping motion, and her pupils couldn’t help but contract. "No..."

A hand blade struck her neck.

Bai Shuilian softly collapsed, and before her consciousness faded, she couldn’t help but curse in her heart, damn it, why use such a method, and make her suffer like this? Doesn’t the neck hurt?

Mama Quan picked her up and placed her on the bed, muttering, "Reality is far more natural than acting."

After placing her properly, she feigned panic as she rushed out the door, instructing a young maid, "Quickly invite Master over, Aunt has fainted."

It’s fortunate Song Ci wasn’t present; if he were, he might have commented sarcastically: if fainted, call the doctor, calling a man over, does he think he can revive her with a breath? Isn’t he embarrassed by the smell?
