The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 103

"Show me the video," he said. Rong Dai picked up her phone and handed it to him, her heart filled with anxiety and worry.

Huo Shao Ting had been gentle and considerate to her, and she felt very warm.

But at the same time, the secret in her heart was too shocking for her to reveal lightly.

She and the original owner were two different people. If the Huo family was observant enough, they would be able to notice many of her differences.

Although she had been very restrained, she was not the original owner after all, and the two had very different personalities.

Even if Zuoran's affair was an explanation, others might believe it, but with how intimate she had been with Huo Shao Ting recently, someone as attentive as him would definitely notice something off.

She didn't dare look Huo Shao Ting in the eye. The anxiety and panic in her heart made her extremely uneasy.

She didn't know how to explain it to Huo Shao Ting.

If she told him she wasn't the original Rong Dai but a soul from ancient times, would he believe her?

Or even if he did believe her, would he still maintain this kind of relationship with her?

In that moment, all kinds of stray thoughts popped up in her mind, and those ideas she had previously suppressed could no longer be contained.

This kind of panic and anxiety was the emotion she detested the most.

But now she was completely helpless.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Big brother will take care of this. It will be resolved quickly," Huo Mei Shu said. Seeing Rong Dai's poor complexion, she thought Rong Dai was worried about the incident. She walked over and gently patted Rong Dai on the back to reassure her in a gentle tone.

Rong Dai nodded, barely squeezing out a smile.

Watching Huo Shao Ting make a phone call on the lawn, his silhouette so long under the lamplight, she had a fleeting moment of disorientation. It felt as if there was a time gap between them.

"Mom, Mei Shu, Shao Jie, I still have some unfinished business to take care of. I'll head upstairs first," she said uneasily, not knowing how to deal with the situation. She almost rushed out of the yard.

Although Huo Shao Ting still treated her the same attentive way, he didn't know about all the hardships she had endured in the imperial harem in her previous life, which had forced her to learn to be prudent and discreet.

These things had become ingrained in her soul, almost instinctual, so even if she wanted to change, it would be nearly impossible.

So she could sense Huo Shao Ting's slightest changes, which made her feel uneasy.

Compared to her eventual divorce from Huo Shao Ting, she was more anxious about how to explain this to him.

After Rong Dai left, Huo Mei Shu sat next to Lu Zheng and said, "Mom, let me tell you, these next few days you should just go on a trip. I'll book a tour for you. Otherwise, that old lady will definitely come bother you again."

Huo Shao Jie also nodded in agreement. This matter was not a business dispute. Everything could be discussed.

The Wen family was after her sister-in-law's life. That went beyond moral boundaries and violated the law.

"I can see Big Brother really cherishes Sister-in-Law. If Sister-in-Law is unhappy, think about it, how long would it take for you to hold a grandchild?"

"If you're waiting for Second Brother, I'm telling you, you might as well wait for Big Brother. At least this monk has taken off his robes. But Second Brother is an iron tree that will take ten thousand years to blossom. When will that ever happen?"

Huo Mei Shu enticed persuasively. She understood her mother's personality. Although opinionated, she was soft-hearted before elders. And before marrying into the Huo family, she had some history with the Wen family.

If the Wen matriarch could frame her sister-in-law like this, who knew what other outrageous tricks she might use to beg her mother. If she fell into that trap, it would destroy the familial bonds that had just been mended.

"You mention Big Brother, then drag me into it. Why don't you find someone yourself? Still hoping Big Brother will support you for life? Aren't you afraid Sister-in-Law will be jealous?" Huo Shao Jie retorted when his weakness was exposed. The siblings immediately began bickering.

"Enough, you two are giving me a headache. I'll listen to you, Mei Shu, on this matter. Book me plane tickets tonight. I'll give my old friend a call. She's free too." Although Lu Zheng was worried, she also knew her personality.

If unsuccessful this time, the Wen matriarch would definitely come looking for her.

"Ok!" Huo Mei Shu glanced at Huo Shao Jie triumphantly as she happily looked up flight tickets on her phone.

After Huo Shao Ting sent the video to Assistant Zhang, he gave instructions on how to handle it.

Since the Wen family wanted to play this game, he would indulge them in an extended round.

He had been too lenient with the Wen family over the years, so they thought he was tolerant enough to allow them to repeatedly frame his wife.

After hanging up, Assistant Zhang mourned for the Wen family in silence. This time they were asking for their own demise.

The matter could have been resolved in court. Wen Shi Lan would serve a few years in prison, but if the Wen empire collapsed, what use would saving Wen Shi Lan be?

And they might not even be able to protect her. This video would probably ruin Wen Shi Lan even more.

He sighed and hurriedly instructed the tech team to process two versions of the video.

One was what Rong Dai had recorded, unaltered. The other was what the Wen family had released, clearly technically manipulated to portray the young miss and the mistress as incredibly vicious while the Wen matriarch was most innocent.

Recently, "Rong Dai" had appeared in top search results several times, only dropping off the charts around noon today after much effort.

Now with this video out, it was clearly meant to drag the mistress through the mud.

The internet was in an uproar, with nearly every netizen one-sidedly cursing Rong Dai.

That was the wondrous nature of keyboard warriors online, quick to judge before the truth came out, eager to demonstrate their sense of justice.

After giving instructions, Huo Shao Ting was about to turn off Rong Dai's phone screen when he noticed it had no password set.

Recalling the ink jade stone and the expert's words, as well as her peculiarities, Huo Shao Ting couldn't help but start browsing through her phone.

He opened the browser history and indeed saw many bizarre questions, mostly basic life knowledge.

What modern person capable of living independently would ask such things?

How to deal with your period?

How to use pads?

And many other such basic questions.

If this were a man's phone, or he had searched these himself, he wouldn't find it odd.

Few men truly cared about women's feminine health. A spontaneous search wasn't improbable.

But this was a new phone Huo Mei Shu had bought for her. How could she not know the answers to these questions?

She was already at this age, not going through puberty. These questions were clearly abnormal.
