Chapter 534: Finding a Substitute for Her Daughter
Mengyu couldnât help but laugh when Bai Renfeng mentioned Wang Jinbu, and she looked at the man collapsed on the bench.
âI remember, ever since Huilan stepped into this household, you picked up a broom and started beating her with it. I stopped you from using violence, and then you ordered Huilanâs father: âWang Jinbu, why arenât you coming over here to beat this girl to death, the one who killed Ah Mei.'â
At that time, Huilanâs dad came out from the inner room, holding a stick, and went straight for Wang Huilan, beating her while cursing: âIâll beat you to death, you daughter who killed your sister!'â
As Mengyu said this, she picked up the broken stick from the ground: âLook at this wooden stick.
At that time, Huilanâs dad really put strength into it, as the wind whistled when he swung it at Huilan, showing just how much power he used.
If I hadnât pulled Huilan away, that single swing would have killed Huilan for sure.
But after pulling Huilan away, the stick in his hand didnât hit her, it struck where Huilan had been standing.
Just a âcrack,â and that sturdy stick actually snapped in two.
Seeing the stick was broken, Huilanâs dad simply threw it aside, and started pounding Wang Huilan with his fists, still with the sound of wind, which showed his great effort.
Huilan felt the killing aura from her father, who, after hearing that womanâs words, was truly trying to kill her! Therefore, she was so saddened she forgot to dodge, just standing there, allowing her dadâs fists to strike her.
I couldnât bear to see Huilan beaten to death by her father, so I reached out and chopped the back of Wang Huilanâs dadâs neck, knocking him out.â
As Mengyu spoke, she looked at Bai Renfeng with a smile that wasnât quite a smile: âThen, you shouted that Huilan brought someone to murder her father, calling everyone over.â
âIf Wang Jinbu hadnât fainted, he would have been ordered by this woman to personally beat his own daughter to death by now. Everyone, tell me, was I right or wrong to knock out Wang Jinbu with a hand chop?â
The people, having heard Mengyuâs explanation, began to condemn Bai Renfeng:
âHow can you be so malicious, woman?â
âIndeed, how could you let a childâs father beat his own daughter to death?â
âYou want someone elseâs daughter to suffer just because your own daughter died, donât you?â
âSheâs truly a woman with a malicious heart.â
âHey, do you know how she came to our Shangyao Village?â
âI heard she was brought back by Wang Jinbu from a trip to the mountains.â
âThey are not legally married and havenât held a wedding banquet, so theyâre not really husband and wife, are they?â
âYeah, theyâre not spouses, yet she wants to be the master of the household.â
âItâs bad enough to act as the head of the household, but you shouldnât hurt someone elseâs daughter. Who treats people like servants and has someone elseâs daughter wash their own daughterâs feet?â
Bai Renfengâs face turned both red and white as she listened to the accusations and gossip of the villagers.
Suddenly, Mengyuâs voice echoed in her heart: âYou and Wang Jinbu have never really been involved with each other, have you? You came to the Wang Family merely to have a pair of servants to wait on you and your daughter. Or, more precisely, you intended to exchange Huilanâs fate for your daughterâs.â
Bai Renfeng was shocked: Was this telepathy?
Without significant power, one could not possibly master the skill of telepathy. She knew that she had met her match today.
Indeed, she and Wang Jinbu were far from being husband and wife. They had never shared a bed.
Her entry into the Wang Family was not to be Wang Jinbuâs wife, nor to serve him and his daughter, but rather to have the Wang father and daughter serve her and her daughter, as their servants.
What she wanted to be wasnât Wang Jinbuâs wife or Wang Huilanâs stepmother but their master.
Everything about her life was attended to by Wang Jinbu, while Wang Huilan was a servant she had assigned to her daughter.
But to find a servant for her daughter wasnât her ultimate goal; her ultimate aim was to find a substitute to exchange lives for her daughter.
