Not only did Old Mr. Wen agree to let her stay over at the Mo Family home, he even agreed to send her there personally. After all, the fact that she was moving to stay with the Mo Family right after Xia Ruya moved in would easily arouse suspicions.


Ever since she returned to the Wen Family home after her homecoming party, Ning Yuya was sent overseas and Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian moved out of the Wen Family home. Ning Shuqian wanted to blame all of those occurrences on her and make her seem like a haughty tyrant. Although she did not get a chance at succeeding, outsiders would definitely have a bad impression of Wen Xinya. If they were to know about her moving to the Mo Family home right after Xia Ruya moved in, she’d definitely be labeled as petty for being intolerant towards Xia Ruya, the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family. It would cause her reputation to be tarnished too.


Besides, outsiders would also think that the Wen Family cared more about their adoptive child than their own flesh and blood. After all, Xia Ruya had lived with them for twelve years and no one could replace her place in their hearts. Meanwhile, Xia Ruya was extremely outstanding as well, and nowhere inferior to Wen Xinya who had led a wandering life for fifteen years.


Since Old Mr. Wen was an elder of the Wen Family, no one would dare to insult Wen Xinya once he made a stand. He had only made the decision to do so after taking her feelings and reputation into consideration.


It was a good thing that Grandpa takes my feelings into consideration and spares a thought for me. That’s the only way to stop Xia Ruya from achieving her goals easily.


Xia Ruya put her close relationship with the Wen Family to use while Wen Xinya used her blood ties which could not be cut off. The scores were even for now.


Wen Xinya exited from the study and returned to her own room. Just as she was about to enter, she discovered that the door was left ajar.


She remembered that the servants would always close the door and lock it after cleaning up her room. Hence, she sensed that something was amiss, though she did not think much of it since it was normal for the servants to be forgetful at times.


She pushed the door open and entered, only to discover that there was something unusual about it. Although the duvet and sheets were neatly arranged, they were not as tidy as usual and the duvet was slightly creased. She scanned her surroundings and suddenly realized that the jewelry on the dressing table was placed in an unusual arrangement.


Someone had entered her room.


A sullen expression formed on Wen Xinya’s face and the first person who came to her mind was Xia Ruya. Reason being, it was the first time that something like that happened. Not to mention, it occurred right after Xia Ruya moved in. She could not think of anyone else.


What is Xia Ruya getting up to?


An icy cold stare formed in her eyes and she stared at the door beside the dressing table, only to see that it was left ajar too.



Wen Xinya’s pupils constricted and she dashed forward to open the door.


“It turns out the servants of the Wen Family have done such a good job at tidying that little bitch Wen Xinya’s room. I’ve searched the entire place but couldn’t find a single speck of dust at all, let alone her hair. Well, I can only take one of Wen Xinya’s undergarments,” Ning Shuqian murmured while opening the closet.


“Aunt Ning, why are you behaving stealthily in my room?” Wen Xinya asked, standing quietly by the door of the dressing room. A cold expression formed on her face, making her look extremely menacing.


Ning Shuqian shrieked in anxiety, perhaps feeling a little guilty for being caught in the act. Her heart began pounding continuously and her mind went blank. She could not even hear what the mysterious man was saying. She hurriedly turned around and her eyes widened in shock the moment she saw Wen Xinya. Staring at her in disbelief, Ning Shuqian asked, “You… why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at the Mo Family home at this time?”


Wen Xinya glared at Ning Shuqian and sneered. “I should be asking you this, Aunt Ning. You sneaked into my room stealthily. Just what are you trying to do?”


Ning Shuqian was at a complete loss for words, for she had been caught red-handed.


Wen Xinya walked towards Ning Shuqian with a menacing aura. “Aunt Ning, you’ve already moved out of the Wen Family home. You’re not here to visit Grandpa and Grandma. You’re just here to sneak into my room and rummage through my belongings. Do you even care that I’m the heiress of the Wen Family?”


Ning Shuqian was no longer as smug and haughty as she used to be. She took a few steps back and said, “I’m your stepmother. Why aren’t I allowed to go inside your room?”


Wen Xinya strode forward and stopped in front of Ning Shuqian. She snickered and quipped. “Stepmother? Who said so? Did Grandpa acknowledge you? Or did Grandma do so? Or did I acknowledge you?”


Wen Xinya’s words were like daggers to Ning Shuqian’s heart and she felt a sudden stinging pain in her abdomen which was extremely excruciating. She stared at Wen Xinya, wishing she could rip her lips apart.


Wen Xinya glared at her coldly and chastised. “Ning Shuqian, don’t hold yourself so high. If this were in the ancient times, you’d be nothing but a lowly concubine… Oh! I made a mistake. Even concubines have to gain the approval of the elders. You’re not even worthy enough to be a concubine. In the olden days, you’d have to be locked in a cage and drowned to death.”


“Shut your trap!” Ning Shuqian barked, gritting her teeth in anger and staring at Wen Xinya with overflowing resentment. The look in her eyes were much deadlier than that of a snake’s venom.


Wen Xinya sneered and said, “We may no longer be in the ancient times, but lots of wealthy families still adhere to the customs and traditions of the olden days. Otherwise, why do you think that everyone in the circle despises you? Even your daughter can’t hold her head high and has to feel ashamed, despite being the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family. That’s because… in their eyes, you’re inferior and shameful! A clear conscience is the most important. Women who don’t have a clear conscience will be frowned upon. Otherwise, why do you think Xia Ruya values her innocence more than her reputation?”


“Little bitch. I’m going to tear your mouth apart!” Ning Shuqian screeched, glaring at her in exasperation. Her face twisted into a grimace and she dashed forward in a bid to hit Wen Xinya.


Wen Xinya had long prepared herself for the impending attack. She grabbed her hand and pushed her onto the ground.


Ning Shuqian fell onto the ground and an excruciating pain filled her, making her grimace in extreme discomfort. The doll had fallen out of her pocket as well, revealing words written in blood.
