The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 351 - Chapter 351 Chapter 351 Eavesdropping Talisman

Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Eavesdropping Talisman Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Eavesdropping Talisman If before, hearing such stern words from Zhong Mingyu, Zhong Mengxuan would definitely not dare to argue randomly.

However, now she had Lu Chenran backing her, so she was unafraid and could confront the accusations from Zhong Mingyu with full confidence. “Dad, how can you blame this all on me? If you hadn’t unfairly given a 2% share to the unborn child, would I have felt so unbalanced and caused all this trouble?”

“You…” Zhong Mingyu choked with anger, “You ungrateful daughter, if you were capable, you wouldn’t come back at all.”

“Hmph!”

Zhong Mengxuan snorted coldly and then turned her back to leave the room.

Watching Zhong Mengxuan’s demeanor, Zhong Mingyu was so furious that he felt his brain could explode, “This brat really has grown hard wings, daring to talk back to us like that.”

“It’s fine, husband, don’t be angry.” Li Yiqiu hurriedly chimed in to soothe him, “Mengxuan is just being a bit willful, a proper guidance afterward is enough.”

“I think she’s acting absurd because Lu Chenran stands behind her,” said Zhong Mingyu coldly, “At this rate, she’s bound to face trouble sooner or later.”

At first, Zhong Mingyu was indeed pleased that Zhong Mengxuan could connect with the young master of the Lu Family. After all, she couldn’t marry any better in the future. Besides, it couldn’t be denied that after following Lu Chenran, she indeed brought him significant benefits.

Yet, as time went, Zhong Mengxuan became increasingly arrogant. She didn’t even regard them, her parents, anymore. She even pressured her own mother into a premature birth.

Now that the child was born, he was feeble and often ill. For such outcomes, Zhong Mengxuan showed no guilt whatsoever. She had never inquired even a word about her younger brother.

Such a cold nature was indeed frightening. It was foreseeable that they couldn’t rely on Zhong Mengxuan if something happened to them in the future.

“That shouldn’t be true!”

Though she said so, Li Yiqiu’s voice contained a trace of hesitation, “She shouldn’t be such a person.”

“Hmph, she’s totally floating now,” Zhong Mingyu said coldly, “Even if not yet kicked out of our house, she already stands on shaky ground in the Zhong Family.”

Li Yiqiu’s face was full of worry, she wanted to defend Zhong Mengxuan. Yet seeing her husband’s stern look, and based on Zhong Mengxuan’s recent behaviors, she decided in the end not to say anything.

“That’s enough, don’t overthink it,” said Zhong Mingyu, waving his hand, “What’s most important for you now is to get well. Then you’ll have the energy to take good care of our son.”

Given how Zhong Mengxuan had turned out, he certainly couldn’t rely on her anymore. In the future, he should focus more energy on his son. Although the doctors had already determined that this son would have a frail body, who knew the future! And even if his physical condition was poor, he could still be the leader of a household.

Speaking of his son, Li Yiqiu couldn’t help but speak out, “Husband, you should believe me, what I said earlier wasn’t nonsense. Zhong Niangyao truly has ways to restore our son’s health. Don’t you want to see our son healthy and jumping around like a normal person?”

Upon hearing Li Yiqiu’s words, a flicker of yearning flashed through Zhong Mingyu’s eyes, but he immediately came to his senses and looked at Li Yiqiu, directly speaking, “I don’t know where you heard these ridiculous claims, but Zhong Niangyao is just a young girl in her twenties, do you really think she has such capabilities?”

“If she really had such capabilities, aren’t you afraid that pushing her too hard might backfire, leading her to retaliate against our son?”

“That shouldn’t be the case!” Li Yiqiu’s voice carried a hint of doubt, “That woman–”

“Who exactly is that woman?” Zhong Mingyu spoke up impatiently, “Where did you hear all this? With all this mysterious talk, what are you trying to do?”

“No matter who that daughter is, she’s truly powerful,” Li Yiqiu hurriedly said, “She can calculate all the happenstances in our house, and she even knows the reason for the baby’s premature birth. Moreover, that woman said that as long as Zhong Niangyao is willing to help, our child can recover and not have to drag a sickly body around.”

It was because of this reason that she believed that person’s words and was convinced that Zhong Niangyao had the means to help their child.

That woman had told her that Zhong Niangyao possessed unknown capabilities to her. As long as Zhong Niangyao made a move, their child could get better.

“I don’t care who that woman you’re talking about is, but let’s end this discussion here,” Zhong Mingyu’s expression was not very pleasant, “If you stir up trouble again, then you can go back to your mother’s house to recuperate. I’m not just saying this, I will really do it.”

“You’ll then have plenty of time to think about how to explain this to your parents.”

Seeing Zhong Mingyu’s demeanor, Li Yiqiu was unwilling but also dared not continue speaking, fearing she might really anger Zhong Mingyu.

Although she didn’t say anything, she held her own resolve in her heart.

Regardless, she wouldn’t give up on this matter. Her son, whom she had barely managed to give birth to, could not just be frail and bedridden. She wanted her child to be healthy, to run under the sunlight, and grow up happily.

Zhong Mingyu didn’t know Li Yiqiu’s thoughts. Seeing her quiet down, he thought she had understood, so he didn’t continue speaking.

At this moment in the room–

The talisman paper in Zhong Niangyao’s hand suddenly burst into flames, emitting billows of smoke. However, the fire seemed to have a consciousness of its own; it didn’t burn Zhong Niangyao’s hand at all, nor did she feel any scorching sensation.

After the talisman paper had burned out, Zhong Niangyao swung her hand, and the resulting ashes vanished.

Just now in the living room, she had already felt something was off. Li Yiqiu’s demeanor was not probing, but certain that she could help the child.

But why was Li Yiqiu so confident?

Curious about this, when Li Yiqiu stood up, while no one was paying attention, she had slipped an Eavesdropping Talisman onto Li Yiqiu, hoping to find out something.
