"If she has a hidden agenda, sooner or later, she will certainly come to our Wang Fu," Yao Ling said. "We could see it from her behavior at that moment whether she really wanted to become a part of our family or not."

She still used a more refined language to describe the ugly truth about how the younger sister wanted to grab Madam Wang’s husband, however, Madam Wang was still feeling offended by her words.

Madam Wang frowned. "Of course, she will be coming for sure! She must have been worried about me and would ask your father to release me ah~! I don’t believe that she would come for that crazy reason!" She insisted.

Yao Ling shook her head because she was indeed too naive.

"It’s up to you whether you believe us or not. You can see it for yourself whether she is worried about you or not when the time came, right? How? Do you dare to have a bet with me?" Yao Ling asked with a soft and yet, cunning smile.

She didn’t believe that Madam Wang wouldn’t fall into her trap. It was better if she eradicated the dangerous person that kept trying to harm her family, especially with the baby coming. She already planned to find another woman for Yao Ying --- even before Yao Ling got pregnant ah~!

What more if she was pregnant?!

Hmph! For that reason alone, she wouldn’t let go of Madam Wang.

"How?" Yao Ling asked once again when Madam Wang didn’t have the confirmation that she wanted.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth and answered loudly, "I agree!" She would fight for her position in this household! It wouldn’t be that easy to kick her out and the bet seemed to be easy for her to win.

"Good!" Yao Ling said.

And, the bet started just like that.

The matriarch and Wang Luo Hai didn’t stop her because by looking at Yao Ling’s determined face, they knew that she must have a plan or she already made a detailed investigation about Madam Wang’s family. Otherwise, how could she be so sure about the bet’s result?

They went all out when preparing for the bet. Fortunately, there were no maidservants or servants around so only a handful of people knew about their bet. It would be easier to make everything looked so real.

Wang Luo Hai quickly arranged their servants to hastily go and prepare a secluded courtyard for Madam Wang to stay. It was similar to a cold palace for the Emperor’s women --- a humble courtyard without any expensive decoration. Madam Wang would be getting a worse treatment for real from now on and could only take four personal maidservants at most.

It made the household turned into a chaos, after all, it was a big news that the legal wife was being demoted and banished just like that. However, they were clever enough not to ask any question. However, people understood that the death of Concubine Xi and that maidservant must have been related to Madam Wang somehow.

Madam Wang’s monthly salary would be cut off and the current household power would be taken back by the matriarch. They weren’t going to give such a power to the concubines and Yao Ling was still too young to handle it by herself --- besides, she didn’t have any experience in this area.

The matriarch knew that she was getting older and easily getting tired nowadays, so she decided to teach Yao Ling about managing the whole residence slowly --- especially about the account books. She didn’t want Yao Ling to be tired because she was pregnant --- after all, she also needed to go back to work to Fu Rong as well.

Her granddaughter was really too capable ah~! She was truly happy and yet worried for her at the same time.

All in all, Yao Ling was a busy woman. She needed to manage her time well, especially because she needed to take care of her father and help her to search for Su Wan --- her real birth mother. And also, learning more about her newfound power. So many things to do with so little time each day.

Fortunately, she wasn’t a person that could stay idle anyway so she didn’t feel too stressed out by it. Besides, Fu Rong had been fine when she was gone because of Wang Luo Hai’s management and the system that she had created back then had been working nicely, so she just needed to check them out once in a while.

After seeing how excited everyone to prepare the best for the bet, Madam Wang became so annoyed! However, she had no choice but have to agree with the mistreatment!

"Spread the news as soon as possible!" Madam Wang said arrogantly towards Yao Ling. "I want her to save me in the shortest possible time as well."

Yao Ling shook her head because she really didn’t know where her confidence actually came from. It seemed like she really loved her younger sister or just purely blind. "I will," Yao Ling promised her. If she wanted to die earlier, then she would gladly grant her wish.

Madam Wang didn’t fully believe in Yao Ling so she let one of her trusted maidservants to follow Yao Ling around when she handled the preparation of their bet to see whether she cheated or not from behind her back. Once the maidservant knew that Yao Ling really kept her promise, she reported everything to Madam Wang.

"Hmph! It seems like she still has a little conscience..." Madam Wang harrumphed.

In the end, the only thing that she could do was waiting for her younger sister. She had no way to contact her family because she was being monitored all the time. The only thing that she could do was to bet everything on her sister’s body.

Everyone asked whether Yao Ling was sure that she could win this bet and the latter smiled mysteriously. "I will... Don’t worry! I have done my job..." She answered. They believed in her but they asked because they just wanted to make sure that everything was really alright. After listening to her assurance, they sighed in relief.

Even if she lost, they wouldn’t really mind it. Because the condition of the bet when they lost wasn’t that bad. They had just to put up with the woman’s presence inside their household.

The news had been spread widely how Madam Wang had fallen from grace inside the household and Wang Luo Hai managed his people really well because no one dared to talk about it outside of their household. However, the servants in the household didn’t dare to mistreat Madam Wang badly.

They didn’t know what happened but what if she raised to power once again? They would really get a bad ending if that really happened! It could be said Wang Fu’s servants and maidservants were pretty clever.

Liu Li directly went to Madam Wang’s family and told them about the change of power inside Wang Fu. She acted really well by acting that she was scared because her backer was gone. Yes, they knew that Liu Li was one of Madam Wang’s people, but they didn’t know that she had been abandoned.

To Madam Wang, the existence of her pawns wasn’t really that important anyway. They really belittled the lives of their subordinates.

"What?!" They asked in surprise. "What is actually happened at Wang Fu?!"

There was no indication beforehand and yet, something this big happened out of nowhere!
