Chapter 6: If you dare to betray, you must take revenge!

"You are just a waste! Why should I be sincere to you? Look at how glamorous and beautiful Miss Er and Miss San are! Just being by your side makes even the gatekeeper give me attitude! Do you think just because you are the legitimate daughter of the Cheng Lord's mansion, no one can touch you? Let me tell you, even if I strangle you today, no one will do anything to me!"

Liu'er was used to pinching Xiang Lingyu, and now she had no qualms about it. She raised her hand and pinched Xiang Lingyu's waist.

"Hmph! Watch me ruin you today!"

Xiang Lingyu was also angry. She lifted her foot and kicked Liu'er's shoulder with such force that Liu'er instantly fell to the ground, her face landing on a piece of broken porcelain.

Looking at Liu'er's face covered in porcelain shards, her face cut and bloodied, Xiang Lingyu sneered and declared, "From now on, the fate of the Xiang family, whether it be prosperity or poverty, is in my hands! And you, from now on, will just be a mute dog in my courtyard!"

"You're crazy! You're a madwoman, ugh..."

While Liu'er was cursing, Xiang Lingyu took the opportunity to force the prepared mute potion down her throat. Compared to joining forces with Liu'er to take the original owner's life, she was showing mercy by only taking her voice.

"Ugh..."

The burning pain in her throat made Liu'er roll on the ground, emitting unpleasant screams. Xiang Lingyu sat in a corner of the room, picked up the tea on the table, and smelled the two poisons.

"It's really my dear sister... Henbane and poison hemlock, tsk tsk, quite vicious..."

Xiang Lingyu put down the cup, her expression disdainful, but a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

She was now certain that one of her two dear sisters wanted her position as the legitimate daughter, while the other wished for her death!

"Tell me, who put poison hemlock in my water?"

Just the scent of poison hemlock in the air could cause dizziness, severe paralysis, or even death, let alone when it's put in water?

Was it Xiang Ziyun, or Xiang Wanru?

Why was she in such a hurry to kill her? Was it just for the position of the legitimate daughter? Xiang Lingyu couldn't understand it for a moment.

"Here they are."

Outside the dilapidated courtyard, a group of people holding torches swarmed in, making it difficult for her to even turn around in her small courtyard.

Seeing Xiang Qiuyu at the forefront, and recalling his spineless behavior in front of the Lord Ming Xiao Tian, she couldn't help but smirk coldly. She slowly stood up, without bowing, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"Father? It's been so many years, and you finally deign to visit your daughter's courtyard!" Her tone sounded excited, but upon closer inspection, the mockery in her voice was evident.

Before the original owner's death, Xiang Qiuyu found it difficult to even look at her, let alone visit her in the courtyard. His cold behavior could only mean one thing: in his heart, he didn't consider her his daughter at all!

"I ask you, did you go out today?" Ignoring Xiang Lingyu's excitement, Xiang Qiuyu questioned her.

Seeing Xiang Lingyu standing upright in the room, Xiang Qiuyu felt a moment of complexity, as if he was glad she didn't embarrass the Xiang family, but also secretly resentful that he missed a chance to kill her!

"Father, I've been at the Lord's mansion all along. What's wrong? Did someone use my name to do something scandalous outside?" The original owner was a fool, and now Xiang Lingyu was using the same naive tone to question Xiang Qiuyu.

"This..." Xiang Qiuyu felt a bit tongue-tied. In fact, the fool had guessed right. And it was her two sisters who had tarnished her reputation...

"Xiang Lingyu, you're lying!" Standing next to Xiang Qiuyu, Xiang Wanru was furious. "You clearly went to Huike Lai to fool around with other men! Do you think you can deceive Father?"

"Why can't you deceive the third sister? Did you personally take me to Huike Lai?"
