Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 434: Still Trying to Deceive the Wang Family
"This matter, although it was ordered from above, I found that it was actually pushed forward by someone who has a grudge against me," Wang Fengsong said.
"You stay at home all day or go to work; how could you provoke someone like that? And someone so powerful?" Wang’s eldest sister-in-law clearly didn’t believe her words.
Their cousin-in-law was best at ingratiating herself with others. If she had such a powerful person backing her, she would surely handle things well. How could she offend someone? That would be ridiculous.
Wang Fengsong forced a bitter smile. "To be precise, I offended her mother when I was younger. I grew up in Hu City, and the person her mother liked just happened to be my neighbor. I don’t know why, but her mother suddenly said that my neighbor liked me and thought I was the one who ruined her marriage. Later, they didn’t end up together, and I married into Jingdu City.
You also know that there was a fire at my place, and everyone living there didn’t survive. Her mother must hate me. After all, if it weren’t for me, they would have gotten married and wouldn’t have lived in that kind of place. Then that person wouldn’t have died."
Wang’s two sisters-in-law were stunned. If someone had destroyed a marriage and incurred such jealousy, they wouldn’t believe it. But if that person had died, it was truly a deep wound that could never heal.
"So now her daughter is taking revenge for her mother’s past lover? That’s too exaggerated, isn’t it? How could a daughter side with her mother’s former crush?" The eldest sister-in-law still found the reasoning hard to accept.
"The only thing I can think of is this. If we want to know the real reason, we need to find that girl and ask her directly," Wang Fengsong said innocently.
"Then go find her! If you know it was her doing, you must know where she is. Why aren’t you hurrying to resolve this? Why come to us and talk so much?" The eldest sister-in-law frowned, feeling that Wang Fengsong was acting strangely.
If she wanted to borrow their strength, that was impossible. If someone was that capable, how could Wang Fengsong not handle it? They wouldn’t be able to either.
"She’s also a student at Qing University, and today she’s with those professors grading the exams. But Xiaowei has already become suspicious of me... You all know Xiaowei’s abilities and temper; I really can’t do anything. If he finds out about my entanglement from twenty years ago, he definitely won’t give me a good face. I have no other choice but to come to you two sisters-in-law to ask for help to find that girl at Qing University.
It would be best to check her background first. We can discuss our strategy afterward." Wang Fengsong rarely showed a pitiful expression, and her words almost sounded pleading.
Upon hearing this, the two sisters-in-law’s suspicions lessened slightly. They knew better than anyone what temper their cousin-in-law had.
If he found out about this, he might even consider divorcing Wang Fengsong. Wouldn’t that mean she was handing them leverage? Once this crisis was over, she would be at their mercy, and they wouldn’t have to humble themselves to ask for her help anymore.
They exchanged glances, seeing excitement in each other’s eyes. Only then did they speak, "Alright, we’ll help you find that girl."
Wang Fengsong immediately showed a grateful smile. She then pulled out a photograph from her pocket and handed it to them.
"That girl’s last name is Su; she’s also a student at Qing University this year. Other than that, I don’t know anything else. This photo is from her mother; she resembles her mother quite a bit, so you should be able to recognize her when you see her.
However, it’s best not to approach her directly to talk about anything; we need to know her background and who’s backing her first. It’s essential to find out who her father is and who is supporting her now. Once we know that, we can discuss what to do next. If her father is the one helping her, then using her mother’s past feelings for my neighbor as a warning should make her back off."
Wang Fengsong laid out a plan that could easily manipulate Su Yijia. She watched as the two sisters-in-law, who had been tense just moments ago, returned to their usual arrogant demeanor.
Wang Fengsong inwardly sneered. These two fools were indeed easy to deceive. If it weren’t for the fact that the dead girl was in hiding and she didn’t dare contact anyone to investigate her, she wouldn’t have to resort to using these two fools from the Wang family.
What she needed was accurate information and a way to completely silence that dead girl and the people behind her.
If the examination was handled according to the information she had inquired about, both the Wang and Mu families would be implicated. All her hard work over the past twenty years would go down the drain.
If she had evidence proving what happened twenty years ago, her fate would be even worse. So that dead girl with the last name Su must die.
There could be no delay.
However, just because Wang Fengsong had her plans did not mean things would develop as she imagined. She waited for a full two days, but there was no news from the school.
No one from the Wang family came to relay any messages. Wang Fengsong could no longer wait and decided to use the excuse of going home to take a shower to sneak back to the Wang family.
It was late at night when she went to the Wang family, and the whole family was present. Upon seeing Wang Fengsong, their faces immediately darkened.
"Tell me, what exactly have you gotten yourself into?!"
"It’s just a little girl. I’ve never even interacted with her; if she didn’t look like her mother, I wouldn’t even recognize her," Wang Fengsong said, looking aggrieved after being shouted at.
However, no one from the Wang family was willing to speak to her after they finished scolding her.
Suppressing her anger, Wang Fengsong sadly asked, "Have you already found out who is backing her?"
"The one backing her is her husband. He has made significant contributions in the team, and now he’s been admitted to the National University of Defense Technology. If you ask around in the team, no one would be unaware of who her husband is. Before he went to college, he was the most promising one in the team, and now he’s a key training target; his future is limitless.
This inspection in Jingdu City found sixty-seven people across twenty universities. Five were found to have taken exams on behalf of others, and sixty-two had taken admission under false identities. The higher-ups are already furious and insist on a thorough investigation. Universities nationwide are already being examined.
This matter is beyond our control, and it’s not something that the dead girl and her husband can handle," the eldest brother of the Wang family said angrily, slamming his chopsticks on the table.
