Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1112 - 1110: Toying with Her

The so-called request for Lu Xiaodie’s mother to visit Madam Wang was merely to deceive and intimidate her. Jadeite was not accustomed to it—when did the young mistress become so indirect and convoluted in stirring up trouble?

"Miss, I still have a lot of poison on hand..." Jadeite hinted obliquely.

Wufu shook her head: "Jadeite, sometimes death is a relief, a clean break. To die painlessly is a blessing! But to live in suffering, that’s real torment!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

It’s not that she was saintly, but she didn’t want to let Madam Wang off so easily. Sometimes, the best revenge on a person is to let her watch what she possesses slip away bit by bit until there is nothing left.

"Moreover, if Madam Wang dies, Wu Lihong will surely marry again. Bringing in someone unknown would be even harder to handle. Let’s leave her there for now," Wufu said calmly. She doubted Wu Lihong would marry Madam Zhou as the main wife; if he were truly so affectionate, then after this incident, it wouldn’t be impossible to make Madam Wang give up her place.

But the reality was different. If Madam Wang died and Wu Lihong remarried, surely her maternal family would be involved. So why complicate things unnecessarily? Just leave her where she is.

She had studied Madam Wang’s character and found her to be impulsive, violent, and arrogant. She might not necessarily have much love or affection for Wu Lihong; after all, after over a decade of marriage, how much love and affection could there possibly be?

It was simply her pride—pride as the legitimate daughter and legitimate first wife of a noble family. It was this pride that didn’t allow Wu Lihong to treat her this way, didn’t allow others to trample on her, which was why she would fight back.

And Madam Wang’s Achilles’ heel and weakness were her three children.

People with weaknesses are easy to deal with. The most troublesome are those with nothing to lose.

"In the end, the young mistress just wants to have fun with her!" Jadeite muttered. "Actually, since we’re in the dark, it’s best to quietly get rid of her. No one would suspect us."

"That’s exactly why playing this game from the shadows is so much fun. Think about it, she knows someone is scheming against her but can’t figure out who it is, isn’t that entertaining? In the end, won’t she think that gods or ghosts are taking revenge?" Wufu said with a sly blink.

Jadeite and Chi Liu exchanged a glance, each seeing the other’s speechlessness.

"The one in Madam Wang’s courtyard?" Wufu asked about the person they had inserted there.

"Cao Er, honest and willing to work hard. It’s only been a few days, but she’s already earned quite a bit of appreciation from those above," Chi Liu said. She appeared honest, but she was also a properly trained Hidden Guard.

Wufu said, "Since we finally got one in, let’s not waste her. Have her be careful not to arouse suspicion, after all, she’s new. Divert attention when necessary."

Chi Liu nodded and said, "Don’t worry, young mistress, Cao Er knows what she’s doing."

"Hmm, go ahead and handle it," Wufu smiled, thought for a moment, and then said, "Looks like I have been too relaxed before. Let’s insert a couple more people into the Wu Residence, in inconspicuous spots."

If it weren’t for Cao Er being inserted just in time, she wouldn’t have known of Madam Wang’s schemes.

Chi Liu bowed and retreated.

"You also hurry and send a message to Chi Er and them, get prepared, and make sure the escort for the personnel to Changan is fully arranged!" Wufu’s voice was cold as she instructed Jadeite.

"Yes, miss!"

"Miss," Ma Nao requested an audience at the door.

Jadeite allowed her to enter, and Ma Nao said, "Miss, Manager Feng from the Zining Pavilion sent someone, saying that Princess Changping is currently at the Zining Pavilion and invites you for a meeting."

Wufu was surprised, Changping was looking for her?
