Yang Xiao and Su Nan Yin were worlds apart in terms of physique, appearance, personality, and aura.
Yang Xiao was demonic.
Su Nan Yin was celestial.
How could the demonic be understood through the demonic's mindset, speaking the celestial's words?
This was because—
Su Nan Yin's celestial nature had already begun to change with the formation of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam formation!
The emergence of two scandals had driven her to wish for death to prove her innocence.
Especially when faced with Ye Tian Jiao's accusations, Su Nan Yin had simply thrown caution to the wind and declared she was pregnant.
Su Nan Yin's celestial nature, along with the constant suppression she endured and the gradual shift in her mindset, had slowly transformed into something demonic.
What Yang Xiao had just said was precisely what Su Nan Yin was about to say!!
Whether it was Su Zi Yu or Li Nan Fang on the phone, upon hearing Yang Xiao's words, they felt their hearts plunge into an abyss of ice.
No one doubted for a moment that Su Nan Yin would do exactly as Yang Xiao predicted!
It was simply because she had been suppressed repeatedly and was utterly fed up with the malice of this world.
Therefore—
According to a demonic way of thinking, the more Su Nan Yin understood her own importance, the more leverage she would have, the more she would hate everyone who looked down on her, and the more she would use her importance to make them regret it!
For this, she was willing to pay any price, even with her life!!
After an unknown amount of time.
Yang Xiao quietly said to Li Nan Fang, "I agree. For now, let's keep Zhuang Wu Jian's ten points a secret from Su Nan Yin."
Li Nan Fang asked, "What about Qian Fan? Should we tell him?"
"No."
Yang Xiao glanced at Zhuang Wu Jian and said, "If he finds out, even though he will still prioritize the bigger picture, he will feel uncomfortable having to appease Su Nan Yin. With Su Nan Yin's intelligence, she will surely notice something."
"You're right."
Li Nan Fang asked again, "But the gu-planting plan has failed, and that can't be hidden from Su Nan Yin."
"We'll shift all the blame onto Zhuang Wu Jian."
Yang Xiao said unapologetically, "Let Su Nan Yin know that her gu-planting plan was nothing but a ridiculous pipe dream!"
Zhuang Wu Jian, who was eavesdropping—
His already ugly face became even uglier!
Su Zi Yu suddenly said silently to Empress Dowager Xiao, "After Zhuang Wu Jian's gu-planting plan failed, we can."
We can what?
Before Su Zi Yu could silently finish her sentence, Yang Xiao said to Li Nan Fang on the phone, "To be honest, Wu Jiang, Zi Yu, and Zhuang Wu Jian are all here with me. Now, Zi Yu wants to speak with you."
Su Zi Yu, the three of them—
Li Nan Fang on the phone—
Cough, cough, cough.
As the grandfather of Zi Yu's husband coughed violently on the other end, Su Zi Yu, who had reluctantly taken the phone, quickly gave a sheepish smile and said in a very sweet voice, "Grandpa, you're not going to silence me because Zi Yu overheard something she shouldn't have, are you?"
Heh heh.
Li Nan Fang chuckled sheepishly, "Zi Yu, you are indeed clever."
"Grandpa, this is what I was thinking."
Su Zi Yu, after making a joke to quickly defuse the awkward atmosphere, got straight to the point: "Why don't we let Su Nan Yin know that Madam Zhuang's gu-planting plan was purely a baseless fabrication born out of her desperation to make money through such means. We can even ask Daoist Du to go out and lie, saying that the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam doesn't exist in the world at all. That the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam is actually a conspiracy orchestrated by Senior Shen Yue. We can throw all the blame onto Senior Shen Yue."
What?
We can understand that your gu-planting plan, Zhuang Wu Jian, is baseless.
But to say that the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam doesn't exist, and to treat Su Nan Yin like an idiot?
And how exactly are you going to make Shen Yue take the fall?
Zhuang Wu Jian and the others looked at Su Zi Yu with confusion (as if looking at an idiot).
Li Nan Fang on the phone was also very confused, "Zi Yu, I don't understand."
Su Zi Yu said, "This is what I was thinking. Once Su Nan Yin learns that the so-called Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam was actually a conspiracy orchestrated by Senior Shen Yue, with the help of Daoist Du, to get rid of her, what will she think?"
Li Nan Fang immediately asked, "Xiao Yue Yue, why would he want to get rid of Su Nan Yin? After all, she's such a stunning beauty that even a blind person would be smitten."
"I heard—"
Su Zi Yu said slowly, "Su Nan Yin is quite dominant in the Shen family of Lingnan. The key point is, she's unhappy being hidden away and becoming a full-time housewife. Because of her presence, Wen Yan Wu and others around Senior Shen Yue have to tread carefully around her. Wen Yan Wu and the others know that Su Nan Yin appears celestial on the surface, but she's actually a super cunning woman and they dare not provoke her. But behind her back, they often complain to Senior Shen Yue. Especially her agelessness. Heh heh, Grandpa, you must understand that a woman who doesn't age requires her lover to accompany her for a long time, right?"
Li Nan Fang suddenly understood!
Empress Dowager Xiao, Sister Wu Jiang, and Little Jian also suddenly understood.
If.
Shen Yue only had Su Nan Yin, then he would undoubtedly be the happiest man in the world.
But when it came to attracting women, Shen Yue, who was no less than Li Ren Zha, was surrounded by beauties.
He couldn't just stay by Su Nan Yin's side and neglect his other romantic interests.
But he couldn't say it directly to Su Nan Yin.
He had to become a "time management master," racking his brain every day to ensure that every beauty around him was satisfied with him.
As a result, Shen Yue became increasingly exhausted.
Finally.
One day, he couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want to live such a difficult life anymore. He wanted to abandon Su Nan Yin and live in seclusion in Misty Valley.
Coincidentally, Su Nan Yin's health developed a fatal hidden ailment!
After various investigations, Shen Yue found a way to treat Su Nan Yin's hidden ailment.
That was to have her be with the host of Original 209 (Li Qian Fan)!
To use the unique characteristic of Original Male 209, which could reverse all toxins, to treat her.
However.
After finding this method, Shen Yue was also well aware that Su Nan Yin would never willingly become an old cow preying on young grass just to save her own life.
In order to cure Su Nan Yin, and more importantly, to reasonably abandon her and achieve liberation in love!
Shen Yue thought long and hard and found Old Du, planning a so-called Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam formation.
Then, under the guise of needing to be present in Misty Valley, he went to Misty Valley.
In this way.
Shen Yue could not only reasonably leave Su Nan Yin, that one flower, and embrace the entire garden; he could also use Li Qian Fan's Male 209 to treat her hidden ailment; it was killing two birds with one stone!
And Zhuang Wu Jian, having believed the lie deliberately spread by Shen Yue, believed in the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam.
Thus, Zhuang Wu Jian began to use this lie to plan the kidnapping of Li Qian Fan to extort a large sum of wealth.
Everyone who had heard of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam believed in this formation.
And actively or passively, they were drawn into the conspiracy orchestrated by Shen Yue.
Only when Empress Dowager Xiao and Li Wu Jiang personally arrived in Hancheng, captured Zhuang Wu Jian, and forced her to plant the gu for Su Zi Yu, did she reveal that it was a lie to extort money.
At the same time.
Shen Yue, who was living a life of debauchery in Misty Valley, finally realized that his selfish motives had entangled many people.
Shen Yue feared that Yang Xiao, who cared deeply for his grandson, would realize that Zhuang Wu Jian's gu-planting plan was nonsense and that it was likely a scam. He feared that Yang Xiao would angrily force Li Nan Fang to go to Misty Valley to settle the score with him. Thus, he quickly sent someone to Hancheng to explain the whole story.
A grand deception!
Yang Xiao and the others finally understood what was going on.
As long as Su Nan Yin believed that she had been disliked and ruthlessly abandoned by Shen Yue at any cost, she would direct all her resentment towards Shen Yue.
This was why Su Zi Yu said that all the blame would be placed on Shen Yue!
If all of Su Nan Yin's resentment was directed at Shen Yue, she would no longer care about Ye Tian Jiao's attitude towards her.
Furthermore, since she wouldn't realize her crucial role in the formation, she wouldn't have the extreme idea of "dragging Qian Fan down with her" again.
She would only learn that it was all a lie, feel sorry for Li Qian Fan's accelerated aging, and resolve to do something.
Moreover—
In this earth-shattering deception, there was a very real point.
That is, ever since Li Qian Fan became the son-in-law of the Su family, Su Nan Yin's hidden ailment had greatly improved under the influence of Male 209.
However, her improved health was at the cost of Li Qian Fan's accelerated aging.
If she wanted to save Li Qian Fan's life—
"She can only willingly wear the cangue as penance."
Su Zi Yu's torrent of words paused here. She continued, "Once she willingly wears the cangue and successfully halts Qian Fan's aging. Then, even if she knows that the Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam actually exists, and that she plays a crucial role in this formation, it will be a done deal."
Zi Yu could even come up with such a method.
To be able to scheme against Shen Yue, Su Nan Yin, even me, Empress Dowager Xiao, Zhuang Wu Jian, Father-in-law, and Daoist Du, all in her plan.
This showed that I, this seemingly harmless and amiable daughter-in-law, am also super cunning!
From now on, I need to treat her even better—
Sister Wu Jiang looked at Su Zi Yu, who was eloquently explaining, and felt a slight tremor of shock, which further strengthened her determination to be a good mother-in-law!
"Grandpa. If you think my plan is feasible, then you must personally step forward and persuade Daoist Du to make Su Nan Yin believe that the so-called Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam is a deception orchestrated by Shen Yue."
After Su Zi Yu finished speaking, she fell silent.
