Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 29 rise to favor, fight to revenge

Qu Ziwei hurriedly said, "Yes, Aunt Liu, she’s a distant relative of my grandmother. She’s been divorced and living in our house with her daughter for many years.

Aunt Liu is highly trusted by my mother and acts as the housekeeper. Even her daughter’s university tuition abroad was paid by our family."

To say that Lady Qu trusts a servant, it’s more like she’s giving face to Old Madam Qu. But as for the intricacies within the wealthy families, Yun Ran didn’t plan to intervene.

"Your elder brother and sister-in-law don’t have children because their energies clash with those of her and her daughter. You should suggest that your brother and sister-in-law move out to live on their own, and soon they will have children."

Qu Ziwei was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she heard that the master’s family couldn’t have children due to clashing with a servant and that the masters should move out.

However, the onlookers nearby felt oddly familiar upon hearing this.

"Eh, isn’t this similar to a plot in a prime-time melodramatic TV show I watched before?

That daughter-in-law was from a higher social status and had no children. She was terribly bullied by her in-laws, and her parents couldn’t stand up for her.

Later, she just ran away, and her husband ran away with her. Guess what happened? The couple stayed away for half a year and then got pregnant. It made them incredibly happy.

The daughter-in-law’s family immediately stood up for her, went to her in-laws to pick a fight, and in the midst of the altercation, they inadvertently broke a storage cabinet.

They discovered that the reason the daughter-in-law couldn’t have children was that a servant in the household had been bribed to secretly drug her soup, preventing her from getting pregnant!"

Immediately someone chimed in, "I think I’ve seen that too. Wasn’t the person who bribed the servant the maternal cousin of the daughter-in-law’s mother-in-law, because she also fancied the daughter-in-law’s husband!"

"What a coincidence, how could such melodramatic events happen in real life?"

"You know nothing, this is called, ’Life imitates art!’"

"That’s nothing. There are even more melodramatic incidents. Let me tell you..."

...

Qu Ziwei felt numb, her eyes, clear yet naive, were filled with shock.

Yun Ran’s lips twitched. She clearly didn’t want to get involved in these high society disputes.

Well, this mess had nothing to do with her. She wasn’t going to be responsible for these twisted causes and effects.

Unexpectedly, these gossip-filled melodramatic incidents were so popular, and now everyone was discussing them enthusiastically.

Qu Ziwei saw Yun Ran hurriedly packing up and didn’t bother asking if their guesses were true.

She hurriedly turned around to call her family.

As Yun Ran finished packing and was about to treat herself to something tasty, she forgot that Ginsengfruit was still waiting to settle scores with her!

[System, tell me honestly, if I had not bound with you to save you, could you have escaped the danger on your own!]

Yun Ran felt a pang in her heart, oh no, she’s been found out.

"About that... listen to me..."

[System, I’m not listening, I’m not listening! You trickster, making me think you were about to die, using most of my energy to save you, and even binding with you, I’ve been wronged more than Dou’e...]

Yun Ran: ...

[System, when you took out the Heavenly Thunder Pearl before, I didn’t suspect you at all. It’s only because you took out the Sanqing Bell again.]

I didn’t even know you had such tricks up your sleeve, you trickster, and you’re not even trying to accumulate merit to restore my energy, wuuu wuuu... *hiccup*...]

She’s the next temple master of Qingfeng Temple after all, having treasures like the Mustard Space is quite normal, there’s no need to make a big fuss over it!

It’s already ridiculous enough that a System is crying, and now hiccupping; Yun Ran feels like she’s really seen it all.

"You can’t blame me for this, right? I didn’t even blame you for rashly binding me and dragging me into this book world, I guess we’re even now."

[No, unless you work hard to earn merit and repay me, I’ll keep crying!]

"Okay, okay, I’ll accumulate it, just shut up, your crying is giving me a headache!"

Yun Ran didn’t know that after Qu Ziwei made the call back home, the Qu Family was now in complete chaos.

Qu Da and his spouse had to call the police immediately when they learned that they might have been harmed by a maid in their house, saying someone had poisoned them.

When the police cars arrived at the Qu Family’s residence, the neighbors wished they could rush into their house to watch the excitement.

Unfortunately, the Qu Family’s garden was quite large, and from the outside, one couldn’t see what was happening inside at all.

People say that professional matters should be handled by professionals, and the police soon found the evidence but still needed to conduct tests to know what that powder really was.

Qu Da and his spouse, both in their thirties, sobbed uncontrollably, which frightened all the house servants.

The next day, Qu Ziwei appeared before Yun Ran with dark circles under her eyes, looking half-dead, almost giving Yun Ran a scare.

"What were you up to last night!"

"My family turned upside down yesterday, my grandma fainted from anger, my mom almost pulled out Aunt Liu’s hair, and my sister-in-law’s family even took her away overnight..."

Yun Ran, considering she was a client after all, planned to say a few comforting words, but then listened as Qu Ziwei continued.

"Aunt Liu’s daughter has her sights on our family’s wealth. She was young during my brother’s wedding, but who knew she harbored such venomous intentions, drugging both my sister-in-law and my brother.

Even if my brother looked for someone else, they still couldn’t have children. Now she’s returned from studying abroad and works as a department manager in our family’s company, and my dad still thinks highly of her.

They, mother and daughter, not only urged my grandma to find someone compatible in fortune-telling for my brother but also bribed our family doctor and the master trusted by my grandma..."

As Qu Ziwei spoke, tears streamed down her face, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.

"Why are they so malicious! Our family has been so kind to them!"

A sixteen-year-old girl, well-protected by her family, experiencing for the first time the ugly side of human nature—it’s normal for her to feel upset and to break down.

Yun Ran, however, was quite composed as she had seen much worse evil.

"Never heard of grudging gratitude turning into enmity over petty matters? Besides, they’ve seen and even enjoyed a part of your family’s fortune; they wouldn’t be content until they’ve seized it.

Just like a stray dog that has tasted a meat bun, it won’t be grateful but will viciously fixate on the other buns in your hand.

You, as a wealthy girl, are like a delicious meat bun in the eyes of others. If you don’t want to be schemed against, be more careful in the future.

Those who want to shortcut decades of struggle will definitely use all sorts of means to cling to any connection they can when they get the chance."

Qu Ziwei trembled slightly upon hearing this, clearly frightened by these words.

Her initial reflex was to object, but she didn’t know what to say.
