From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

“This is my home too! Who are you to tell me to get the hell out?” Zhu Wenjie roared.

“Once a daughter is married, she’s as good as gone. Go back to your in-laws!” Lin Qing, in a bad mood, didn’t bother giving her any face.

When Lin Qing first got married, she had suffered quite a lot from this younger sister-in-law. She no longer wanted to put up with her.

Now that Granny Zhu was sick and couldn’t care for herself, it was a perfect opportunity to take Zhu Wenjie down a peg.

Zhu Wenjie was provoked, and having never attended much school and started working at an early age, she didn’t know the principles of not resorting to violence. All she knew was that when she got bullied, she would fight back. With a “peh” sound, she lunged at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing didn’t back down either. Upon hearing the commotion, Madam Zhou rushed out to see the two middle-aged women tussling on the floor like shrews, pulling hair, ripping clothes, and biting – using all kinds of ugly tactics.

Madam Zhou was shocked and dumbfounded.

Upon recovering from the shock, she immediately went to pull the two apart. However, the two of them were too caught up in their fight and exchanged filthy words without giving an inch to one another.

“You shameless woman, Lin Qing! No wonder my brother is keeping a mistress outside. With this sort of behavior, I doubt my brother would ever like you. Just wait, you’ll be replaced by his mistress sooner or later, and when you’re old and unwanted, no one will remember you.” Zhu Wenjie felt pleased and expected Lin Qing to go crazy. However, to her disappointment, Lin Qing didn’t show any surprise or anger on her face, even though she was rather disheveled from the fight. The anger she displayed was directed at Zhu Wenjie, not because of what she had just said.

Zhu Wenjie was puzzled. Did Lin Qing not hear her or just not understand?

On the other hand, Zhu Xiangxiang looked incredulous and angrily said, “Aunt, what are you talking about?”

“You think I’m just talking nonsense? The rumors have spread throughout the company, your dad is keeping a woman hidden away; that’s been going on for a few months already. I hear he even takes her everywhere they go, like they’re inseparable, with a very strong emotional connection. I guess it won’t be long before your mom will have to step down and make way.”

Zhu Wenjie didn’t make baseless accusations. As Zhu Xiangxiang glanced at Lin Qing, she found that Lin Qing was unnaturally calm, so she couldn’t help but blurts out: “Mom .

Lin Qing coldly laughed, “I didn’t know my husband was cheating on me, but you apparently know everything. ”

Zhu Wenjie smugly said, “The person my brother trusts the most now is Zhou Ping. Not to mention the gossips in the company, Zhou Ping personally witnessed how affectionate my brother is to her. She’s young, beautiful, and has a great figure; way better than you when you were young. Sister-in-law, with you acting like a shrew, my brother will only despise you more. If you were nice to me, I might put in a good word for you with him, get him to give you more money and save your dignity. But now, it’s all too late.”

Her expression was one of pure malicious glee.

Lin Qing listened to these heart-piercing words while her heart bled in agony, but her face showed no emotion.

It turned out that everyone knew about it while she was like a fool, kept in the dark.

“No need for you to get involved. You better take care of yourself first. Madam Zhou, see our guest out.” Lin Qing, exhausted, turned and headed upstairs.

“What right do you have to kick me out? I’ll wait for my brother to come back, and I’ll tell him how you’ve been bullying me, and watch him beat you to death!” Zhu Wenjie plopped down on the sofa, folding her arms in a manner that screamed entitlement.

Zhou Bao surreptitiously approached Zhu Wenjie and whispered, “Mom, does

Uncle really have an affair?”

She took no joy in others’ misfortune, feeling that Lin Qing was treated too unfairly. Although Aunt Lin was fierce and never gave her a happy face, the greatest sorrow a woman could experience came from her husband’s betrayal.

o

She looked at Zhu Wenjie in confusion. Her mother had also experienced the same, and at that time, she had cried until her eyes swelled up. But why, when it came to Aunt Lin, would her mother not only show no sympathy but also rub salt in the wounds?

The adult world was too complicated!

At 6 0’clock in the evening, Ming Jing came downstairs to check Granny Zhu’s pulse.

This was her second time coming downstairs today.

Zhu Wenjie hadn’t seen her during lunch, and Madam Zhou didn’t say anything when asked. She found it odd.

When she first met Ming Jing, she was bald, but now she wore a wig, with a noticeably different temperament. The moment Zhu Wenjie recognized her, she let out a cry, “So you’re at home. Why didn’t you open the door when I knocked for so long?”

Without giving them another glance, she walked directly into Granny Zhu’s room.

Zhu Wenjie followed suit and saw Ming Jing skillfully checking Granny Zhu’s pulse. Zhu Wenjie had heard Madam Zhou’s account of the morning’s events and refused to believe that a little girl could be more capable than a large hospital’s specialist.

“Miss Ming Jing, where did you learn medical skills?”

Ming Jing unwrapped her cloth bundle and picked up a silver needle. Fearing that she would be distracted, Madam Zhou replied, “Ms. Ming Jing’s master is a renowned divine doctor, so naturally, she has inherited her true teachings.”

Zhu Wenjie laughed, “An old nun is a divine doctor? You’ve got to be joking. Be careful, my mother can’t take too much trouble. If anything happens to her, I won’t let you off the hook.”

Ming Jing frowned, “Be quiet.”

At that moment, it seemed like the room’s temperature dropped by ten degrees, feeling icy cold.

Ming Jing’s white fingers picked up the silver needle and quickly inserted it into Granny Zhu’s chest. Her agile movements were so smooth that Zhu Wenjie involuntarily shuddered upon witnessing them.

After administering the needles, Granny Zhu slowly regained consciousness. Seeing Ming Jing, she showed affection in her eyes and kindly said, “Ming Jing, thank you for your efforts. I heard everything from Madam Zhou.”

Ming Jing tucked her in, “You’re in good health, so you have no problem living to be a hundred years old. Don’t worry about anything else; I’m here.”o

Granny Zhu’s eyes moistened, “Don’t be angry with your mother. She’s not doing well either. She’s just confused at the moment. Once she suffers a bit, she’ll come to her senses. I hope you can still accept her by then.”

Ming Jing was silent for a moment, “You shouldn’t worry about that now. Just get some rest.”

She instructed Madam Zhou a few more things before leaving the room.

“Mom, do you really believe this girl? She’s so young, so how could she possibly know how to treat illnesses? We should take you to the hospital.” Zhu Wenjie said to Granny Zhu.

Granny Zhu turned away, “Go back to your home and stop bothering me.”

Zhu Wenjie grumbled, “This is my home too. Why are you kicking me out?”

“You think I’m deaf when you and your sister-in-law argued this afternoon? I’m telling you not to cause trouble at home. If your sister-in-law’s not doing well, would you be better off? How did I give birth to such a brainless daughter like you?” Granny Zhu was fed up and couldn’t bother arguing with her anymore so she asked Madam Zhou to kick her out.

“Cousin Ming Jing, why are you hiding from me?” Ming Jing was about to go upstairs when she was blocked by Zhou Bao, who suddenly sprang out..
