Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 553: Setting Up Liang Xiuqin

It was still early in the morning when she returned to Jingdu. Yun Xi first went to the villa of her second uncle and aunt, where her second aunt was waiting for her.

Besides the housekeeper, who had secretly called her to tell her everything that had happened in the Yun family during the past few days, her second aunt was also going to fill her in about the situation.

As she’d expected, finding a competitor for her mother had indeed occupied all her mother’s attention, so her mother hadn’t had any spare time to make trouble for Yun Xi.

However, Yun Xi had underestimated her mother…

In just three days, Liang Xiuqin had caused a huge ruckus in the Yun family.

Neither sleeping nor eating well, she had become extremely depressed.

On the other hand, Chen Lixue, who was an expert at dealing with Liang Xiuqin, had set traps for her very cunningly.

During the past few days, she had gained the upper hand in the Yun family in every way. Yun Xi’s second aunt, who she didn’t have a grudge with, treated her politely and distantly with no harsh words toward her.

This made her feel as if she was very popular in the Yun family, even more popular than Liang Xiuqin.

Moreover, she had Yun Yuanfeng at her back, and her daughter could claim ties with the Han family, so she had many advantages over Liang Xiuqin.

Compared with Liang Xiuqin, who had offended everyone, she clearly had the upper hand.

Liang Xiuqin was really desperate for help at this time.

She couldn’t expect Yun Xi, that scourge, to ask for help for her from the Chen family or the Han family, nor could she ask her father-in-law for any favors, since, after all, she’d almost caused the old man to be driven out of the villa complex. She couldn’t expect any help from Yao Ying, who she had been fighting with for more than 20 years. She especially couldn’t expect Yun Yuanfeng to stand by her side.

As for Chen Lixue’s biological daughter, Liang Xinyi, that was even more hopeless, since how could she help an outsider instead of her own mother?

Yun Xi had easily blocked all her mother’s options by bringing Chen Lixue into the Yun family’s home.

Trapping Liang Xiuqin was only the first step. For the second step, Yun Xi planned on continuing to conspire against her mother and also to drag Liang Xinyi into the water with her.

At her aunt’s villa, Yun Xi had told her second aunt about her plan, and Yao Ying’s eyes had lit up after hearing it.

Conspiring against Liang Xiuqin? How could she not love it?

They were only going to be responsible for setting the trap. As for whether Liang Xiuqin fell into the trap or not depended on her.

Now that she had no way to ask for help and no way to retreat, there was no way she wasn’t going to fall into the trap.

After their discussion, Yun Xi followed her second aunt back to the Yun family’s house. As soon as they walked in, Liang Xiuqin had thrown a glass of water toward them.

Reacting quickly, Yun Xi had yanked her second aunt out of the way, and the glass had shattered into pieces in the hallway.

“Liang Xiuqin, are you crazy?”

Her second aunt still hadn’t recovered from the shock, so she stepped forward and yelled at Liang Xiuqin without holding back.

Upon seeing that it was the second aunt and Yun Xi who had come in, Liang Xiuqin froze for a moment. Then, when she saw Yun Xi, rage boiled inside of her.

Chen Lixue, who hadn’t been hit by the glass either, stood on the side, pretending to be aggrieved. She berated Liang Xiuqin without restraint.

Yao Ying didn’t have the patience to listen to her scolding. She looked at Liang Xiuqin coldly. “I’m in charge now, sister-in-law, so you’d better understand your place. You have to pay for anything you break.”

Money was now Liang Xiuqin’s sore spot. She felt distressed whenever she heard the mention of it.

And she had become angry today precisely because of money.

Liang Xiuqin was also annoyed. She could have relieved her anger a little if she’d hurt Chen Lixue, but instead she’d almost hurt Yao Ying.

If she’d really hurt her, the old man would probably kick her out of the villa complex again.

Now, she had to stay in the Yun family no matter what, lest this b*tch Chen Lixue take advantage of her absence.

No matter how angry or annoyed she was, she still knew how to play the victim.

“What happened just now was an accident. You don’t understand, but that b*tch Chen Lixue, who does she think she is? She tried to touch my husband’s clothes. How nosy of her!”

“…” Yun Xi glanced back and forth between them. She felt really amused at how catty and jealous they were acting despite being middle-aged.
