The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 290 - Chapter 290 Chapter 290 No Evidence

Chapter 290: Chapter 290 No Evidence Chapter 290: Chapter 290 No Evidence Zhong Niangyao’s words were slow and clear, ensuring that everyone present could hear them distinctly.

Although she didn’t know exactly what the elder lady had done, she knew it was for money, and it cost her own daughter’s life.

For a moment, everyone pointed and talked about the elder lady.

The elder lady immediately grabbed Qiu Yan’s hand. “Let’s go, we need to go back. We’re not having our fortune told anymore.”

Qiu Yan shook off the elder lady’s hand. “I want a divorce, I want to divorce your son.”

Whether or not it was because of her husband’s issues that they hadn’t had children, she wanted to divorce now. She had never imagined that she was marrying into such a family.

Especially thinking that she once had a sister-in-law who had been killed by her in-laws, she felt even more terrified. She couldn’t imagine continuing to live in such a family.

“Have you grown bold?” the elder lady yelled, pointing at Qiu Yan, “If you want a divorce, then fine, I don’t believe my son can’t find someone better. You’re just a hen that can’t lay eggs, and now you have the nerve to shift the blame onto my son, dreaming.”

“I’m telling you, you can divorce, but don’t even think about taking a penny of the money.”

“Even if I have to leave with nothing, I am still getting a divorce,” Qiu Yan retorted to her mother-in-law. “Besides, your family’s money might all be blood-stained for all I know; I would be afraid to use it and incur retribution!”

“You… You…”

The elder lady had never imagined that her normally meek daughter-in-law would dare to talk back to her like this today, even wanting to divorce her son, as if the world had been turned upside down. She was so angry she could barely speak.

Qiu Yan ignored the elder lady and instead continued to look at Zhong Niangyao. After thinking it over, she asked, “Master, the incident where my in-laws killed their child, does my husband… does he know about it?”

She didn’t know why she wanted to ask this, but she wanted to know the answer. She knew she had married the wrong person but still hoped the man she had chosen wasn’t completely rotten.

“He doesn’t know,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head. “However, he has spent that money too, so he will suffer the corresponding retribution. But all of this has nothing to do with you, you can still escape this quagmire.”

If it had been the timid little daughter-in-law from before, she might not have spoken up to advise her. But seeing the woman before her who still had her own courage, she thought she might as well do a good deed for the day!

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Qiu Yan let out a sigh of relief. However, the thought of getting divorced did not change in her mind. She had made up her mind, as soon as she got back, she would go straight to her parental home. Then tomorrow, she would have her family accompany her to pack her things and file for divorce.

Seemingly seeing the woman’s determination, Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “Some things that are yours, don’t give them up so easily. After suffering so much, don’t you want some compensation?”

Qiu Yan had an epiphany and looked gratefully at Zhong Niangyao. “Master, I know what to do now.”

Indeed! Why should she leave with nothing? All these years, she had been humiliated in this family for being unable to conceive. Even if she was to divorce now, she must get the compensation she deserved.

With these thoughts, Qiu Yan got up and quickly left, planning to discuss with her own family about what to do. As for her mother-in-law, she didn’t even spare her a glance.

“You God Stick, are you happy now? It’s all because of you, our family is falling apart. You harmer, I won’t let you go.”

The elder lady was furious, wishing she could flip the table and tear Zhong Niangyao’s face off right then and there. But the sight of the indifferent figure by Zhong Niangyao made her afraid to act, she could only satisfy herself by mouthing off.

She regretted deeply at this moment; why did she behave so recklessly and ask for her fortune to be told! Now, just because of having the fortune told, her son seemed to be heading for a divorce.

“At the beginning, it was you who came to have your fortune told,” Zhong Niangyao said unmoved, looking at the elder lady with the same coldness, “And, dare you say, what I’ve divined is not accurate?”

“What’s accurate about it? Not a single word is accurate,” the elder lady glared fiercely at Zhong Niangyao, “All you’ve said is nonsense.”

“Oh, is that so?” Zhong Niangyao nodded, then her lips curved into a meaningful smile. “Since you think what I said is not accurate, then I’ll just say a little more. Like about your daughter.”

“Shut up.”

A feeling of unease surged, and the elder lady quickly interrupted, “My daughter died in a car crash, it’s all on the police record. If you continue with this nonsense, I will accuse you of… of… slander, yes, slander. I’ll sue you for slandering me.”

She comforted herself internally, no need to be afraid. Indeed, her child was hit, passed away in the hospital and was not saved. The police station had a record, and the driver’s compensation was normal. That was the true reality.

“Yes, your daughter did have a car accident, but she didn’t die,” Zhong Niangyao’s gaze once again fell on the elder lady’s shoulder. “She was severely injured back then, and the doctors said that she might have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.”

“You didn’t want such a burden, and at the same time wanted to extort a large sum from the guilty driver, so during the treatment, you once disconnected her oxygen tube for over half an hour, which ultimately led to her death.”

“You’re talking nonsense.” The elder lady reflexively retorted, but her guilty tone was undeniably noticeable, “We didn’t do anything, she died of serious injuries. You don’t have evidence, so don’t just talk rubbish and ruin my reputation.”

“Indeed, I don’t have evidence.”

Hearing this, the elder lady let out a subtle sigh of relief, but what Zhong Niangyao said next only increased her fear.

“People act, the heavens watch, do you really think without evidence, you can act recklessly?” There was a strange smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face. “Do you remember what I just said? Your daughter has never left, she has always been with you and your husband, watching you squander the money earned from her life. Do you think she would be content? She’s right now leaning on your shoulder, watching every little bit of your life, watching you all the time!”
