Splendid Twins

Wei glanced at the unconscious Zhou Wan calmly, her eyes dark and gloomy.

Useless trash!

Since the secret guards in the mansion have appeared, it means she has been defeated!

At this point, she has no regrets. It's just a matter of success or failure. The end that awaits her is nothing more than suicide or having her hair cut off to become a nun. It all depends on whether her cousin can become the queen mother...

Zhou Wan was placed on the couch by the Duke's wife. She was still unconscious, her body twitching from time to time, like a drowned chicken.

"Wanwan... wake up..."

The Duke's wife spoke in a tearful voice, and the entire hall was filled with her voice alone.

The old lady was so angry that her face turned blue. She took a deep breath and said angrily:

"Shut up!"

"You won't listen, will you?"

"This little bastard is plotting to murder the Duke's Mansion. Do you want to drag our entire family to death with you?"

The Duke's wife turned around slowly, speaking in a nasal voice:

"I...I don't have such thoughts, it's just Wanwan..."

The old lady threw a teacup over suddenly, and the porcelain pieces exploded instantly under her feet, making a sharp and piercing sound, as if even the air was torn apart by her anger!

“Wanwanwanwan, I let you say it!”

The room was silent, and no one dared to touch the old lady's anger!

The Duke's wife lowered her head slightly, staring at the porcelain pieces at her feet, hatred flashing in her eyes.

"Someone, tie her up and throw her to the back!"

The old lady glared at Zhou Wan, and her disgust towards her reached its peak!

In the past, she turned a blind eye to those minor quarrels out of consideration for the honor of Prince Li's concubine. But when her eldest son announced in public that they would sever ties some time ago, she felt a little cold-hearted. Now, it seems that this heartless beast should be beaten to death!

Just as Manju came over and prepared to attack Zhou Wan, the Duke's wife stood in front of him like an old hen protecting her chicks, her face full of resentment:

"How dare you! She is the Concubine, how dare you disrespect her!"

"Do it!"

The old lady shouted sternly, stood up and walked down, her eyes were cold and sharp, and her suppressed and low aura made people dare not look at her.

"Snapped!"

The sound was clear and loud, echoing in the air.

The old lady slapped the Duke's wife hard, gritting her teeth and said:

"You are such a fool! When the Duke comes back, I will make him divorce you, such a shallow woman!"

This slap destroyed the status and dignity of the Duke's wife in public!

"Mother……"

The Duke's wife covered her face with one hand, her eyes filled with tears of disbelief, her voice trembling:

"Mother, how could you... hit me?"

People of their status, even if they hate each other in their hearts, will not slap each other in the face in public!

"What are you waiting for?"

The old lady didn't answer her, but scolded Agate with a cold face.

Soon, Zhou Wan was tied up and taken out, and was guarded by Manou personally. At this time, only the masters of each room were left in the house.

"Mother, are you trying to force your daughter-in-law to death?"

The Duchess's face was burning with shame and anger. She glanced at everyone and her eyes met Wei's.

One of them was sitting and the other was standing, and their eyes met in the air, as if sparks could be created!

There was a flash of provocation and hostility in Wei's eyes. Why did he always protect such a stupid woman?

He had made painstaking plans just to wait for chaos to break out in the palace. As the regent, he would certainly not be able to leave. By then, everyone in the palace would be in a panic, and if anything happened it would only be an accident.

On the day of the coup, blood flowed like a river, and the heavy rain covered it up. The person was brought in by Zhou Wan. If Zhang died accidentally, the blame would only be placed on Prince Li!

Unfortunately, as soon as his men made a move, it meant that he was discovered. The man outside the door was like a knife in his hand, reminding him that even if he was not in the house, he would not allow anyone to be presumptuous!

"Zhang, I know you hate me, but you dare not do anything to me. Ha, mother and daughter are equally selfish and hypocritical..."

The Duke's wife was humiliated again and again today. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. Facing Wei's contemptuous tone, she gritted her teeth and endured it:

"Don't be too arrogant. Thunder, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven. You'd better pray for the eternal prosperity of the Taifu Mansion!"

Wei sneered softly, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes:

"You don't have to worry about that. I exchanged your daughter for today. You probably can't imagine what kind of life Zhou Wan lived after being exchanged by my people."

As soon as these words came out, a storm immediately arose. Everyone knew that the first and third wives were incompatible, but they never expected that there would be such hatred...

Especially Zhou Ying, she suppressed the shock in her heart. It turned out that Zhou Wan was replaced by her third aunt!

The old lady was stimulated by these words and took a few steps back. The Crown Prince's Consort and the Second Wife hurriedly helped her to sit down, and the two of them stood on either side to protect her.

The Duke's wife was extremely angry, pointing at Wei and cursing:

"You slut, you are so shameless to think about others, you deserve to be unable to have children!"

Her daughter was replaced, and after much investigation she found out it was this bitch's doing!

Shameless whore, she dares to covet the Duke!

The inability to have children was a thorn in Wei's heart. The words of the Duke's wife were like an extremely sharp knife piercing her heart, causing blood to flow and excruciating pain!

Wei endured the blackness in front of her eyes, pinched her palm tightly with her fingers, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I originally wanted her to die. You will never see your daughter again in this life. She is lucky to be married to a couple who are often tortured by their parents-in-law. She is not well clothed or well fed, and has to endure beatings..."

She really wanted Zhou Wan to die at first, but was stopped by Imperial Noble Consort Wei. Her cousin was very calculating and wanted to use Zhou Wan as a chess piece to pave the way for Prince Li in the future.

Due to the interference of Mrs. Wang, Zhou Wan and Si Yao were swapped!

She took Zhang's jade pendant as a token of trust, and turned a noble lady into a country girl. A girl who grew up with hunger, poverty, and beatings naturally had an unpleasant personality, and became a selfish, vain little woman...

Wait until the time is right to tell her my true identity. Once she gains power, she will naturally turn her back on everyone!

She had someone secretly escort Zhou Wan to the capital to look for her relatives. Sure enough, the little fool lived up to her expectations and behaved so ugly that Zhang lost her position as housekeeper. The entire Duke's Mansion became the topic of conversation among the powerful people in the capital.

Seeing her calm demeanor, the Duke's wife's blood rushed to her head and she yelled hysterically:

"Bitch, I want your life!"

At this moment, she pounced on him like a mad woman. Wei had deliberately provoked her. The two of them put all their efforts into killing each other and fought each other, regardless of their status and manners.

"Stop it! Both of you stop it!"

"Mother, Third Aunt..."

"what!!"

Everyone was shocked. Wei stood there expressionlessly, blood splattered on her face, sticky and hot...

"Mother!"

"Someone come quickly!"

The Duchess felt a sharp pain and looked down, only to see a dagger deeply inserted into her chest, with the entire blade embedded in the flesh.

Her clothes were stained with blood. She opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she saw. Her heart was filled with fear and despair!
