Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 329 - 183 Enthusiastic

Watching Wang Tian’s inexplicable expression, Liu Qing was a bit confused and looked at Wang Tian with some concern. "Brother Tian, have you been too tired lately?"

She noticed something was off about Wang Tian’s spirit.

"Very well."

Wang Tian smiled enigmatically at Liu Qing. "Do you know what it feels like to carry a huge secret?"

"????" Liu Qing’s expression was complicated. "Brother Tian, maybe you should still go to the hospital."

Wang Tian stood up, his smile unchanged. "Ha, you commoners will never understand what I’m talking about."

"...."

On the night the campus film started shooting, "Yun Ni" reached its grand finale.

At this time, Su Wan had become the Noble Consort, supreme among thousands. As the Emperor was seriously ill, she even held the power of the previous dynasty, truly holding great authority.

In the middle of the night, Ning Xiao arrived at Yanqing Palace following Su Wan’s instructions.

The blood-red moon hung distantly in the sky, casting a cold glow over the deserted palace.

Su Wan, dressed in a luxurious and intricate palace costume, sat upon a high platform.

She was still beautiful, just as breathtaking as when they first met.

"General Ning."

Sitting high and looking down, Su Wan’s lips lightly curved.

"Noble Consort, as an external officer, it’s not proper for me to be here so late in the night."

"Properness." Su Wan’s red lips parted slightly, repeating the words before scoffing with mockery, "General Ning, guess, who decides what’s proper?"

Without waiting for Ning Xiao’s reply, Su Wan went on to answer her own question.

She raised a finger, admiring her freshly done nails while speaking, "It’s those sitting in this position, high above, who decide. Did you ask them if they abide by propriety?"

When one exists like an ant, only within the confines set by others, they can never see the truth.

And when Su Wan also sat in that position, equal to those people, she came to know many truths that had been deliberately hidden from her.

Everyone said that Ningyuan Marquis Mansion fell because of factional strife and that Ning Xiao was the catalyst.

But gradually, as the fog cleared, Su Wan finally realized that the person behind the curtain was actually the Emperor.

All the others were merely pawns he used to balance the court.

souls of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, in the Emperor’s eyes, were simply a character "execute" on his imperial edict.

"My lady," feeling the indistinct sadness radiating from Su Wan, Ning Xiao subconsciously felt that she could still be swayed, "I know the matter of the Marquis Mansion’s annihilation weighs heavy on your heart, but"

"Hard to let go?"

As if she heard something laughable, Su Wan let out a laugh.

Her eyes shimmered, and the candlelight on either side cast a somber glow in her eyes. "You think I hate His Majesty? You are mistaken, I am grateful to him. Not only am I thankful he destroyed the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but I’m also grateful he lifted me to this supreme position."

Ning Xiao was shocked, as if he had never really known Su Wan. "My lady?"

"General Ning, did you know? I am actually not the real child of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion."

Su Wan seemed to have a strong desire to confide tonight, and she didn’t care if Ning Xiao would spread these secrets, continuing to unveil to him the conflicts hidden behind the splendid façade.

Everyone knew that Ningyuan Marquis Mansion had the most outstanding son and daughter of the times; the Princely Heir of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was brave and military skilled, supremely talented, and the Marquis Mansion’s legitimate daughter was renowned as the number one beauty, a master of chess, calligraphy, and painting.

However, what the world didn’t know was that Marquis Ning Yuan had no ability to reproduce, and he was too proud to let outsiders know this secret.

Thus, Marquis Ning Yuan had someone select a hundred male infants and a hundred female infants, with dedicated personnel to instruct them from a young age.

When the two hundred infants grew up to seven or eight years old, with facial features becoming discernible, half from those who were healthy and good-looking were chosen.

Through this elimination and promotion process, in the end, Su Wan emerged as the ultimate victor among the hundred female infants.

If it were only this, Su Wan wouldn’t have harbored such deep hatred towards Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. The crux lay in the fact that to keep the secret tightly sealed, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion killed all the children who were eliminated, including all the knowing instructors. To bind Su Wan completely to the Marquis Mansion, they had someone exterminate the entire family of her biological parents.

Just like that, the perfect weapon belonging solely to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was forged.

Unfortunately, Ningyuan Marquis Mansion did not anticipate that while they regarded others as dispensable pawns, in the eyes of the Emperor, they were also just pawns.
