Madam Song’s eyes flickered with a hint of unnaturalness. She could not care less whether Yun Wan had been possessed by a demon, causing her recent drastic change in temperament. Her only concern was to rush the marriage between Xuan'er and Meiniang as quickly as possible, lest any unexpected problems arise—like Yun Wan throwing a tantrum before the Lord Marquis and reneging on the deal.
Only once Xuan'er officially brought that vixen Meiniang into the manor could she ensure that Xuan'er would never again harbor thoughts of seizing the position of Heir. For years, the Lord Marquis had showered Yun Wan with exclusive favor. Even though Jin'er was already grown, the Lord Marquis had repeatedly stalled and made excuses, refusing to petition the palace to grant him the title of Heir. When it came down to it, was it not because he was considering Xuan'er, wishing to save that position for him?
Fortunately, the heavens had eyes. That vixen Yun Wan had raised a pair of useless children. Had the children she bore been even slightly capable or ambitious, the position of mistress of this Marquis Manor would likely never have been hers to hold.
