Wen Yan noticed the look in Miao Jiulan's eyes as she gazed at Si Moyan.
[Oh my, Miao Jiulan is determined to win. But then again, the premium Gu bug she spent so much energy raising naturally understands its master's mind.]
[It doesn't need to be slipped into food or tea. As long as she touches the person, the Gu bug will burrow into their skin.]
[The speed at which it burrows is comparable to a rocket. No matter how formidable the person is, they won't be able to stop it.]
Old Master Si and the others shivered, goosebumps rising on their skin.
Only Si Moyan remained cold and stern, completely unfazed.
"Eldest Boy, aren't you worried at all?"
Si Moyan pressed his thin, crimson lips tightly together beneath his prominent nose. His voice was deep and cold as he said, "With your eldest granddaughter-in-law's possessiveness, do you think she would let me be controlled by someone else?"
Old Master Si and the others suddenly understood.
Wen Yan hadn't completed her conquest mission yet; there was no way she would let Si Moyan fall for another woman.
Thinking of this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Yue led Miao Jiulan over toward the Si family.
Wen Yan let out a lazy yawn. "Grandpa, Hubby, I'm going to the restroom."
The Si family immediately tensed up again.
Miao Jiulan was coming over, why was she going to the restroom now?
Amidst their confusion, they saw Wen Yan intentionally bump into Miao Jiulan as they brushed past each other.
Miao Jiulan's handbag fell to the ground.
A few small items spilled out of the bag, including a delicate little box.
Wen Yan crouched down and picked up the little box.
Miao Jiulan's brow instantly furrowed sharply. "Don't touch my things!"
Wen Yan let out a soft oh and handed the box back to Miao Jiulan with an ambiguous smile.
Miao Jiulan took the box and inspected it closely.
Finding nothing wrong, she stood up and walked away.
Wen Yue lowered her voice and asked Miao Jiulan, "The Gu bug isn't damaged, is it?"
"No."
Wen Yue brought Miao Jiulan in front of the Si family.
"Grandpa Si, Brother-in-law, hello."
Old Master Si and Si Moyan completely ignored Wen Yue.
Wen Yue kept the smile on her face. "Regardless, the Si and Wen families are in-laws. If there are any misunderstandings, we can find some time to sit down and talk."
"Oh right, Grandpa Si, this best friend of mine is a Miao doctor. She has some ointments that work wonders for rheumatism and leg pain. I'll find time to bring you some another day."
No matter what Wen Yue said, the Si family members maintained a cold expression.
Wen Yue couldn't quite keep her composure and shot a glance at Miao Jiulan.
Miao Jiulan immediately pretended to lose her footing and fell toward Si Moyan.
However, Si Moyan didn't catch her like a gentleman; instead, he took a few steps back.
Miao Jiulan only managed to brush against his sleeve.
But that was enough.
After steadying herself, Miao Jiulan gave Wen Yue a nod.
Wen Yue found an excuse and led Miao Jiulan away.
"Did it work?" Wen Yue asked impatiently.
Miao Jiulan nodded. "I never fail when I make a move."
The thought that the cold, abstinent man was about to become hers filled her heart with boundless excitement and joy.
Wen Yue couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
Wen Yan, your husband is about to betray you. Let's see how much longer you can be smug!
Wen Yue took out her phone, eager to share this good news with Gu Beichen.
Once Si Moyan was controlled by Miao Jiulan, everything in the Si family would eventually belong to her and Gu Beichen.
After Wen Yue and Miao Jiulan walked away, Old Master Si immediately grabbed Si Moyan and asked, "Eldest grandson, do you feel pain anywhere?"
Si Moyan's dark eyes were deep. "You can doubt me, but you have to trust your eldest granddaughter-in-law."
Wen Yan wouldn't have knocked Miao Jiulan's handbag to the ground for no reason.
The real Gu bug must have been swapped out by her.
...
Wen Yan stood at the restroom entrance and opened the delicate little box in her hand.
Inside crawled a Gu bug as thin as a strand of hair.
Without looking closely, it was completely invisible to the naked eye.
"Wen Yan, you really are here!"
An angry voice rang out.
Wen Yan lifted her eyelids. Just as she expected, Father Wen and Mother Wen had come looking for her.
That stalk of deer horn grass had already caused them to harbor resentment toward her.
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Do Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen need something from me?"
Unfilial daughter!
She actually called them Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen!
However, Father and Mother Wen had never treated Wen Yan as their biological daughter. Her not calling them parents actually made them feel a bit more comfortable.
"Wen Yan, your brain must have been kicked by a donkey. What are you doing giving the deer horn grass to your in-laws? Do you really think Si Moyan likes you? He was unwilling to marry you in the first place and even said he would divorce you after a year. You're pouring your heart out to him, but in the end, you'll definitely be abandoned!" Father Wen glared angrily at Wen Yan. He couldn't understand how his own biological daughter could be this stupid!
Thinking of the humiliation she suffered at the Si family a couple of days ago and how the Wen family almost went bankrupt, Mother Wen was even more furious. "Without your maiden family backing you up, you won't even know how you died in the end."
Wen Yan tugged at her red lips. "Mrs. Wen, I think you're the one stirring up crap when you're already covered in it."
Thinking of the smell of dog feces, Mrs. Wen's stomach began to churn with acid again.
"Wen Yan, is that how you speak to your mother? I think you need to be taught a lesson!" Father Wen raised his hand and swung hard toward Wen Yan's face.
Wen Yan scoffed coldly.
Did he think she was still the original owner of this body?
Did they think they could hit her just because they wanted to?
Before Father Wen's slap could land, Wen Yan grabbed his wrist.
Father Wen didn't expect Wen Yan to have such great strength. Gripped by her slender fingers, he actually couldn't move at all.
Wen Yan sneered and threw Father Wen's hand aside.
As Father Wen rubbed his wrist, he suddenly noticed a slight pain there, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
He raised his wrist to take a look.
There was a small cut, as if it had been scratched by something.
It must have been Wen Yan's fingernails that scratched him.
Fortunately, the wound was very small, so it was no big deal.
"Wen Yan, if you don't hand over the deer horn grass, don't ever acknowledge us as your parents again."
Wen Yan sneered. "Mr. Wen, is your brain underdeveloped and your cerebellum shrunk? Since when did I ever care about acknowledging you? If you have the guts, publish a statement in the newspaper tomorrow to sever our relationship. If you don't, when you kick the bucket, I'll still go to your funeral feast."
Father Wen was almost angered to death by Wen Yan's words.
When did this unfilial daughter become so sharp-tongued!
Wen Yan didn't want to say anything more to Father and Mother Wen. She was about to leave when Mother Wen called out to stop her. "Wen Yan, if you can't hold onto your man, then obediently give up the position of Mrs. Si."
Wen Yan curled her lips. "Does Mrs. Wen mean that if one can't hold onto their man, they should give up their position as the legal wife to another woman?"
"Of course."
Wen Yan nodded. "Alright, Mrs. Wen, you must remember those words."
Watching Wen Yan's retreating back, Mrs. Wen felt a bit strange.
Did Wen Yan's words carry some hidden meaning?
Mrs. Wen found Wen Yue. "Yueyue, how are things progressing?"
"Mom, it's going very smoothly. Once Wen Yan sees that Si Moyan has betrayed her, she will definitely hand the deer horn grass over to you!"
Mother Wen glanced in Si Moyan's direction. After saying a few words to the Si family, Si Moyan left the banquet hall.
Wen Yue immediately urged Miao Jiulan to go over.
Once afflicted by the Heart-Binding Gu planted by Miao Jiulan, the effects would take hold incredibly fast.
The hosts of the mother gu and the child gu had to share a bed and engage in the most intimate of acts within a single hour.
The mere thought that Wen Yan and the rest of the Si family would soon walk in on Si Moyan and Miao Jiulan rolling in the sheets sent a thrilling wave of excitement surging through Wen Yue's heart.
