Chapter 9 - Let's See Who's More Scheming

At the mention of Eldest Young Master Shen, Auntie Zhang froze.

Xu Ling's expression changed again and again. No one knew if Qi Yuan was telling the truth. What if Eldest Young Master Shen really wanted her to go back early?

Xu Ling felt that she could not vent her anger. She was so angry that her chest hurt.

Initially, she did not think that her daughter's suggestion was necessary. It was just a matter of controlling Qi Yuan. Now, it seemed that some schemes were indeed necessary.

Did this b*tch think that she would have someone backing her up after marrying into the Shen family? She even dared to disobey her now.

Xu Ling suppressed her anger and sighed. "This child has already grown up and is married. As her mother, I can't control her anymore. You can do whatever you want from now on. Since you came back in a hurry today you must be thirsty. Come and have a cup of tea."

Qi Yuan looked at the tea on the coffee table and half smiled.

She knew exactly what would happen next.

Xu Ling would drug her and then arrange for her to meet Song Ziqian to take a humiliating video of her.

Since she knew what would happen when she returned to the Qi family, how could she not be prepared?

'Who doesn't know how to drug someone?'

Qi Yuan walked over and picked up the tea in front of her. With a flick of her finger, some powder fell into Xu Ling's teacup. "Madam Qi, let's drink together."

Xu Ling was furious at being called Madam Qi. She picked up her tea and took a few sips.

After she was sure that Qi Yuan had drunk the tea, she said, "Song Ziqian is here to see you. He's waiting for you in your room."

Qi Yuan put down his teacup. "I'm just married. Is it good to let a man go to my room as he pleases?"

Xu Ling suppressed her impatience. "This is the Qi family. No one will know who you're meeting."

Qi Yuan lowered her eyes, unable to hide the hostility in them. "Alright, since Madam Qi wants me to see him so much, I'll go see him."

Qi Yuan turned around and left. Her high heels made an elegant clicking sound on the floor, making Xu Ling feel a little suffocated.

Today's Qi Yuan actually made her feel like she was about to escape her control.

Xu Ling shook her head hard. She felt that it was impossible. What could happen to a brainless b*stard who had always been in her control? It was probably because she had been provoked too much.

Once the video is made later, she would be able to do whatever she wanted.

… .

On the other side, Song Ziqian was waiting in Qi Yuan's room. He was getting impatient.

If not for Yanran, he wouldn't have anything to do with Qi Yuan.

A timid adopted daughter who was unpresentable dared to say that she liked him. Everyone knew about it, making him disgusted.

Then the door lock turned and someone entered the room.

Song Ziqian looked up and saw a figure walking towards him.

A lady as beautiful as a beauty who had walked out of a painting appeared in front of him. She looked cold and distant, but also a little pale and weak, making one's heart soften.

Song Ziqian subconsciously took a light breath and asked, "Are you a guest at the art exhibition? Are you looking for a guest room to rest?"

Qi Yuan could not help but cover her face and chuckle. She seemed to be mocking and disgusted at the same time. "Song Ziqian, didn't you want to see me?"

Song Ziqian was shocked to hear a familiar voice. "You… you're Qi Yuan!"

It was no wonder that Song Ziqian could not recognize her. Other than the Qi family members who knew what Qi Yuan looked like, no one would associate such a beauty with that country bumpkin-like adopted daughter of the Qi family.

"That's right, long time no see!" With enemies appearing one after another, Qi Yuan's hostility grew stronger and her smile grew wider.

The current her only had the appearance of a beauty, but deep down, she had long been corrupted by ugly hatred.

Song Ziqian was dazzled by Qi Yuan's smile and looked at her in a daze. If he had known that Qi Yuan was so beautiful, he would have treated her a little better.

Thinking of how such a beauty had been obedient to him for the past two years, Song Ziqian's vanity was greatly satisfied in an instant, so much so that he ignored the murderous aura that flashed across Qi Yuan's eyes.

Song Ziqian said gently, "Qi Yuan, sit down."

Qi Yuan sat down calmly and heard the sound of the door being locked.

She smiled. 'Come on, let's see who's more scheming in this life.'
