Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 444 Zhuge Feng and Lin Mengjie (1)_1

"Girl, it’s no use. This is Zhuge Family territory. Doing this will only alert the enemy. Moreover, Zhuge Feng isn’t like old man Shi and the others. Although you can control Li Wanying, you won’t be able to deceive Zhuge Feng," Ye Sanshao’s deep voice rang out, and Shangguan You’s movements stilled.

That’s right, she had been too anxious earlier. How could she forget that this was the Zhuge Family’s secret chamber, and the man was Zhuge Feng, after all? Zhuge Feng’s ability to become the Family Head and bring Lin Mengjie here undetected was a testament to his skills.

Moreover, she didn’t want Zhuge Feng to know she was here. Regardless of his reasons, she couldn’t deny his affection for her. However, as for the matter between Lin Mengjie and Zhuge Feng, she was still in the dark. Once she figured it out, she would decide what to do.

If her impulsive actions earlier had led Zhuge Feng to discover her and Ye Sanshao’s presence, find out about his secret chamber, and learn that there were others within it, the thought of the consequences made Shangguan You feel a wave of fear. Fortunately, Ye Sanshao had reminded her.

"Girl, just watch the show. Tonight, Zhuge Feng won’t let Li Wanying go. Since Li Wanying is under heavy hypnosis, if we want to find out the truth, we can only do as Zhuge Feng does and wait patiently with Li Wanying. At her most desperate moment, we can strike accurately and get to the bottom of everything," Ye Sanshao softly comforted Shangguan You, knowing her urgent state of mind. Though they couldn’t intervene now, at least they would learn what they wanted to tonight. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Zhuge Feng’s sharp eyes scanned the surroundings. He felt as if the air had stirred slightly, but it vanished in an instant, and nothing happened. His eyes held a trace of confusion. Could he have sensed it wrong?

Seeing Zhuge Feng’s confused expression, Shangguan You couldn’t help but feel relieved. Thankfully, she had retracted her actions in time, or she would have been discovered.

"Li Wanying, you should know that what I’m saying is true. Whether it’s Shangguan Hao or the Shangguan Family matriarch, they are both in no position to help themselves, much less care about a girl like you." Zhuge Feng’s gaze shifted from doubtful to decisive. With a wave of his hands, Li Wanying collapsed to the ground, her body trembling slightly.

Hearing Zhuge Feng’s words, Li Wanying shook violently, despair filling her eyes. Not being acknowledged by Shangguan Rou, and even abandoned by the matriarch—how could she possibly have a chance to return to the Shangguan Family? How could she expect Shangguan Hao to look at her differently? Sixteen years ago, she drove Lin Mengjie away and married into the Shangguan Family, thinking she was the ultimate winner. But in the end, she was left with nothing. If she had known she would end up like this, she should have destroyed Shangguan You back then instead of letting her live until now, ultimately leading to her own expulsion from the Shangguan Family. Without Shangguan You, at the very least, Shangguan Hao would have maintained a facade of calmness instead of driving her out and causing the Li Family to be imprisoned because of her.

"Zhuge Feng, I know you’re going through all this trouble just to save Lin Mengjie. I can tell you what poison Lin Mengjie suffered from, but whether you can wake her up is your problem. However, I have one condition. As long as you fulfill it, I’ll tell you right away. I believe that with the Zhuge Family’s medical and poison knowledge, you can definitely save Lin Mengjie," Li Wanying said softly, slowly calming down.

"What demand?" Zhuge Feng asked without a second’s hesitation, his voice cold. As long as Lin Mengjie could wake up, he was willing to agree to anything.

"I want your assassins to kill Shangguan You," Li Wanying said, clenching her teeth, her hands tightening into fists. As long as Shangguan You was dead, no matter what the Shangguan Family thought, Rourou would be the Shangguan Family’s only granddaughter. Without Shangguan You, everything that belonged to Shangguan You would belong to Shangguan Rou.

"Li Wanying, do you think that’s possible?" Zhuge Feng’s voice grew colder. Killing the girl is impossible. She’s Jiejie’s daughter and also his own. No one can harm the girl, especially since he personally witnessed her birth and watched her grow up. Otherwise, how could Li Wanying have survived the past sixteen years in peace? If it weren’t for the girl, given how Li Wanying had been so unconscionable in the past, she wouldn’t have lived to this day.

"How is it impossible? You kill that wretched girl, then wake Lin Mengjie. When Lin Mengjie asks about her daughter, you can have Rourou take her place. Rourou is about the same age as that despicable woman, Shangguan You, and also has an outstanding appearance. With just a little cooperation from Rourou, Lin Mengjie would have no suspicions. You could then return triumphantly with the beauty. Why wouldn’t you want to do that? Isn’t that right?"

As Li Wanying calculated and chuckled, the thought of Lin Mengjie loving and doting on her enemy’s daughter as her own dissolved much of her resentment from the past dozen years. Imagining that scenario, Li Wanying couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Even if she were to die, she would die with a smile.

Shangguan You’s expression darkened as she heard Li Wanying’s words. She really wanted to slap her a few times to clear her head. How could she be anything like Shangguan Rou? They were worlds apart! And does Li Wanying think everyone in the world is a fool?

Even if Zhuge Feng, to save Lin Mengjie, were willing to kill her, and even if Shangguan Rou impersonated her, there were still countless people in the Shangguan Family and the Lin Family, not to mention Nanny Zhang. Does she really have the ability to make so many people disappear from this world?

Li Wanying must be insane to come up with such a plan! Shangguan You really wanted to slap her, make her come to her senses, and stop her foolishness.

"Li Wanying, are you dreaming? Do you think I would do such a thing? Do you take the whole world for fools?" Zhuge Feng scoffed coldly. As he swept his palm, Li Wanying’s body was flung several meters away. To kill the girl and replace her with that vile daughter of hers—such a thought could only come from Li Wanying.

The people of the Shangguan Family and the Lin Family—are they all fools? Such an act wouldn’t only be disallowed by them; even Zhuge Feng himself wouldn’t permit it. No one could harm the girl.

"What do you think you are? Don’t forget, sixteen years ago, if it weren’t for your involvement, how could Lin Mengjie have divorced Shangguan Hao?" Li Wanying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking at Zhuge Feng with sarcasm. Zhuge Feng, too, was privy to the events of those days.
