Chapter 674: Only Eternal Benefits

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Shimei’s heart seemed to ignite a powder keg!

Damn it, if Zhang Wan’er really dared to snatch her silly puppy, poking out Zhang Wan’er’s eyes would be a mild punishment. She feared she might poison Zhang Wan’er to the point where she could never be with a man again!

Inside the room, Zhang Wan’er and Liu Yan’er didn’t mention this topic again; instead, they shifted to the topic of the Crown Princess.

Xia He asked, “Second Young Miss, I’ve been watching Miss Miao closely and noticed her gaze on Miss Zhang many times. Do you think she might be plotting something?”

Liu Yan’er snorted coldly, saying, “I hope they plot something. Anyway, I don’t want to get involved now. I’ll just stay put and be on guard against them targeting me. Let them fight it out, and no matter who loses, it’s a good thing for me!”

Liu Shimei thought, ‘This idiot has finally shaken off the title of intellectual pauper.’

If you were to ask why Liu Shimei didn’t deal with Liu Yan’er and even agreed to help Liu Yan’er at the request of Liu Fuyun?

Well, it’s probably like playing cat and mouse—don’t kill the mouse right away, just play with it, right?

Letting Liu Yan’er fall from the position of Crown Princess would be much more satisfying than killing her now, wouldn’t it?

Of course, this mouse must be under her control to prevent it from returning to the tiger’s den!

Then she heard Zhang Wan’er say, “That’s true, but how can you be sure they won’t join forces to come after you? I don’t think Miao Linglong is a weak opponent. If she decides to plot against you, neither you nor Zhang Miaozhen will be her match!”

Liu Yan’er sneered and said, “Although I hate to admit it, Miao Linglong is quite ambitious, and Zhang Miaozhen has never really respected me! So, they are more likely trying to manipulate me into fighting against each other, not joining forces.”

“But they are relatives!” Zhang Wan’er brought up another point.

Liu Yan’er looked at her and said, “They may call each other cousins, but in reality, they have no blood ties at all.”

Liu Shimei nodded as she listened: in a three-legged stand, it’s surely the two weaker ones teaming up against the stronger one. But… even if you are blood-related cousins, sooner or later, you’ll end up tearing each other apart!

There are only eternal interests, no eternal friends!

So, if in this life you encounter someone who genuinely cares for you, cherish it because it’s rare!

Zhang Wan’er seemed convinced by Liu Yan’er’s words and remained silent in the room.

However, Liu Shimei became a bit anxious after sitting for a while.

The corridor outside the window was not like those towers with open access on all sides. It was more like a separate balcony. If she didn’t leave the room, she would be trapped here!

In case those two inside decided to come out and check, they would find her.

Moreover, if the silly puppy recovered and couldn’t find her on the other side, he would probably become anxious!

Then, Xia He suggested, “Second Young Miss, in my opinion, you’ve already shown your face today. Why don’t we go back early?”

“But there’s still the river lantern event tonight, right?” Zhang Wan’er, who had not attended such a banquet before, was reluctant to leave. “Staying for one more night won’t hurt!”

Xia He found this young lady annoying, but due to their status difference, she could only patiently explain, “I guess, whether it’s Miss Miao or Miss Zhang, they will act after dark. No matter how entertaining the show is, if it involves oneself, it’s not good. What if Miss Miao doesn’t want to deal with Miss Zhang but with Second Young Miss? As a potential Crown Princess, staying here may involve you and lead to suspicion. Avoiding it is the best way to prevent harm and suspicion..”
