Capítulo 783: Chapter 783 Du Shiniang is to be Driven Out
“Husband, is there something you want to tell me?” Du Shiniang sensed something was amiss.
“Shiniang, you should leave Shengjing Garden,” Sheng Shaochen said with a slight furrow in his brow, looking at her seriously.
“Why?” Du Shiniang suddenly became somewhat agitated. It was the first time she heard Sheng Shaochen call her name so tenderly, yet he was asking her to leave Shengjing Garden…
“You deserve a better life. Staying here, you will only become more miserable,” Sheng Shaochen said, his usually cold and ruthless face softened with a hint of friendly persuasion.
“I know you don’t like me, and I know you love Ye Shu, but I am Xiao Kai’s mother. I cannot do it,” Du Shiniang said with moist eyes.
“You are Xiao Kai’s mother, that’s why I’m discussing this with you.” The implication was clear: had it not been for Xiao Kai, she would have been thrown out long ago.
“Actually, I’ve been pretending not to see what’s going on between you and Ye Shu. Why must you force me, force me to leave Xiao Kai? I just want to stay by his side, take care of his daily needs, and watch him grow up healthy. As a mother, is that really too much to ask?”
“We, the Sheng Family, have wronged you,” Sheng Shaochen thought for a moment and then added, “If you like, you can continue to stay in Shengjing Garden, but Xiao Kai and I might seldom return. You could also stay at the Smart Girl Class permanently. Of course, with your capabilities, you won’t do badly anywhere else. You can think it over and let me know anytime.”
After saying this, Sheng Shaochen went upstairs to rest alone, leaving Du Shiniang standing there, eyes closed, fists clenched tightly!
Prime Minister’s Mansion!
Sheng Kun and his confidant Luo Can were sipping tea and talking by candlelight. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
“Please, Boss.” Luo Can passed a cup of gongfu tea to Sheng Kun and said, “As you predicted, Bai Yueru is still too green, too eager for quick success.”
“Hahaha!” Sheng Kun laughed, “I know that woman. She wants to quickly show others her achievements. I understand that feeling; having married into the Sheng Family so many years ago and always regarded by Old Madam Sheng as a useless woman. So now that she’s in power, she’s eager to prove to others that she’s not useless. Actually, Old Madam Sheng’s judgment is quite accurate; Bai Yueru indeed isn’t cut out for business.”
“Boss, you’re right. She’s not only unsuitable for business but is also very vain. She likes when people compliment her, enjoys listening to nice words.”
“Which woman doesn’t like to hear nice words? That’s normal. So, we need to exploit this by spinning some stories around her, even if it means letting her taste some small benefits upfront. As long as she gradually falls into our trap, then we can just tighten the noose. How is Old Madam Sheng doing? She isn’t dead yet, is she?”
“Not dead,” Luo Can replied. “According to the ace we have in place, that old lady hasn’t died yet. Her physical and mental state are improving day by day. It seems she has accepted the reality of being ousted and looks completely devoid of fighting spirit now, only waiting to die in the Old Mansion.”
“No, absolutely not possible!” Sheng Kun said. “Knowing the old lady as I do, if her power is taken away, she definitely won’t let it go easily; she just hasn’t shown her cards yet.”
