Chapter 418 -373: Indifferent as a Chrysanthemum Mother? The Young Lady Casually Sabotages 13_2
Upon hearing Su Zhiruan’s imaginative words, the aunts in the living room and the servants eavesdropping from the kitchen all cautiously scrutinized Ning Fu’s expression. Seeing her rigid face, everyone tacitly understood the answer without saying anything.
“I’ve never seen you with such thoughts before,” Ning Fu said sarcastically as she cast a glance at Su Zhiruan. She was very dissatisfied at that moment. She had thought she could use Su Zhiruan as a scapegoat and her pawn. She just needed to cry behind Su Zhiruan’s back; one of them would play the good cop and the other the bad cop. But she hadn’t expected Su Zhiruan to quickly transform into the saintly figure she was now, outshining her own feigned benevolence. So, her anger grew even more, yet she dared not show it.
Su Zhiruan picked up her backpack, slung it over one shoulder, and then waved to Ning Fu, saying, “The main thing is, I think Aunt Zhu is a very nice person. She is kind and even bought me clothes the last time we met. If our whole family lived together, it would surely be wonderful. I see Dad is always smiling when he’s with her, and I suppose Mom must think so too.”
“Alright, I still have homework to do, so I’m going to my room!” Su Zhiruan added fuel to the fire and then went back to her bedroom with her backpack, locking the door behind her.
If the original mistress had done this, she would have been scolded by Ning Fu, but now, after Su Zhiruan’s provocative words, Ning Fu was utterly restless.
She didn’t care about whether Su Zhiruan locked her door or not but instead got up and hurried back to her own room.
After this conversation today, Ning Fu had a new understanding of Su Zhiruan.
Usually, to maintain her assumed character in public, she would complain that Su Zhiruan was unruly, rebellious, and had bad morals. But in private, she pleaded with Su Zhiruan to stand up for her.
She had thought that such behavior would earn her unanimous praise and highlight her image as a gentle and considerate woman, but she hadn’t expected Su Zhiruan to suddenly change her character.
When Su Zhiruan also became indifferent and spoke of repaying evil with good, Ning Fu felt very uncomfortable, as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat, causing discomfort she couldn’t alleviate. Only the occasional sharp pain that stabbed her reminded her of intense disgust.
Now, with Su Zhiruan advocating for Zhu Manqing to join their family and live together, it was a humiliation for Ning Fu, who considered herself to be the legitimate wife.
But this time she could no longer use Su Zhiruan as her pawn. Su Zhiruan had spoken in favor of a happy life together for all of them, a position Su Qin would surely agree with, so Ning Fu was extremely angry. She sat on her bed in her bedroom, staring at the wedding photo of her and Su Qin. In a fit of rage, she threw it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
“Want that mistress to enter my home? She has no idea who I am!” she said viciously, and then took out her phone, dialing an unfamiliar number.

Once Su Zhiruan entered her bedroom, she paid no more attention to Ning Fu’s behavior. She took out her textbook and started reading carefully.
Although the female headteacher told her she had already received a guaranteed spot, Su Zhiruan didn’t dare to take it lightly. The news of the spot wasn’t a secret, and if she received it, it would spread within a small circle. If Ning Fu heard about it, she would definitely experience the plotted events. Su Zhiruan didn’t want to waste the guaranteed spot, but just in case, she knew she had to be prepared for all possibilities.
Even with the guaranteed spot, she wouldn’t easily give up on her studies, as it was the best security for herself.
After she finished her homework and stretched lazily, she heard a knock at the door.
“Miss, come out and have some food, Madam is not at home,” said the elderly nanny.
“Where did Mom go? Wasn’t she just at home? How come she’s gone in the blink of an eye?” Su Zhiruan asked while stretching lazily and walking out, casually taking the tray from the old nanny. It had a few light dishes for a nighttime snack.
