Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 611 - Regrets (1)

When Xing Yiyue heard from her personal maid that she was being summoned by her mother-in-law, she started to get nervous. She and Wang Ruoxi never get along very well so she wasn't looking forward to being in the company of the older woman.

As the news about her and Liu Ruoyan's scandal continued to spread like a wildfire these days, it was only natural that it would damage her reputation as an actress. Many of her projects and endors.e.m.e.nts were canceled; some of them landed on Luo Qingqing's hands, much to her chagrin.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to admit that she had lost to Luo Qingqing like this, but what could she do? The news continued to stay running on mainstream media no matter how much her husband tried to suppress it from spreading. By now, it was almost impossible to regain her peerless and innocent reputation in public.

Was it Tang Moyu that kept the public aware of the scandal? Xing Yiyue wondered, not knowing that it was his brother-in-law who was responsible for making the news of her scandal relevant to the public. If she hadn't persistently tried to offend the empress, Feng Tianyi wouldn't have wasted his time dealing with a petty woman like her.

The only consolation she got from this mess was being spared from having her real identity exposed to her husband. As long as she had Feng Tianhua's trust, Xing Yiyue was sure that she would be able to recover what she'd lost in the future.

"Madam, you need to hurry." Xing Yiyue heard her personal maid say nervously. "Old Madam is having a guest today, and she's eager to meet you."

"Who is it?" Xing Yiyue asked nervously. She had a bad feeling about this meeting. Why would Wang Ruoxi summon her at this time? She was sure to keep a low profile these days, just like what Feng Tianhua told her to do so.

"It's Madam Tang, Zhang Wuying. She requested for your presence," her personal maid responded.

Xing Yiyue's face paled at once. Meeting Madam Tang like this… she didn't know how to deal with the other woman. She had seen the old woman a couple of times before, but they never talked to each other. Moreover, she had heard that Zhang Wuying had a temper and easily lashed out at others whenever she was pissed.

There was no doubt that news of the scandal had reached Zhang Wuying's ears. It wasn't a secret that her mother-in-law, Wang Ruoxi, and Zhang Wuying were the ones responsible for Feng Tianhua and Tang Moyu's betrothal since they were young. Xing Yiyue feared that Zhang Wuying would lash out at her and blame her for all the troubles she brought unto them.

However, could they really blame her? If she hadn't done what she did back there, she wouldn't have the life she was living right now. Was it really wrong to covet something one didn't have? Poverty did not only cause her family to suffer, but it also gave others a reason to look down and demean them.

Xing Yiyue didn't have time to change out of her nightdress and went down the stairs to meet the two older women waiting for her. Thankfully, her sleepwear was as exquisite as the other clothes she currently had in her wardrobe. Those who knew her in the past wouldn't be able to believe that the skinny, poor girl they used to bully was now a madam of a wealthy family.

Wang Ruoxi's and Zhang Wuying's eyes turned in her direction once they heard her footsteps coming their way. The two were having tea outside and were discussing the recent issues circulating around, with regard to Feng Tianhua and Tang Moyu.

"It's good to know that you are here now," Wang Ruoxi said as she gave her daughter-in-law a good look. Since Xing Yiyue hadn't gone out these days, she didn't pay much attention to what she looked like. Still, her beauty was pleasing to one's eyes… that even if she was wearing sleepwear, it would still make her stand out.

"Mother, you called for me…" Xing Yiyue didn't dare to join the women and sit with them. Even years after being married to Feng Tianhua, she had never been comfortable meeting the other madams of the high circle.

"It was me who called after you, Xing Yiyue." Zhang Wuying couldn't believe that a woman like Xing Yiyue had managed to ruin the hard work she had done over the years to secure Tang Moyu's marriage to Feng Tianhua.

What's more, because of Xing Yiyue, her ungrateful daughter ended up being the devil's woman instead. There were reasons why she decided to betrothed Tang Moyu to Feng Tianhua after all.

One was because she wanted to get rid of Tang Moyu as soon as possible. The moment Tang Moyu married, she wouldn't have a chance to claim the right to ascend Tang Enterprise.

The other reason was the fact that Feng Tianhua was a bastard like her. His status as the second master of the Feng family was incomparable to Feng Tianyi's position as the legitimate successor and being a Song family member.

Of course, Zhang Wuying was also aware of the internal struggle within the Feng family and Feng Tianyi's unorthodox methods. With Tang Moyu being married to Feng Tianhua, she would be able to utilize her influence on the man. She also considered the probability of the two being in a nasty fight with the devil. Either way, she would get the advantage from both scenarios.

As long as Tang Moyu had a use for her, she didn't care what would happen to the young empress. However, wouldn't it be nice to see the daughter of her husband with another woman being destroyed by the devil himself? Given the devil's reputation, there was no doubt Tang Moyu would suffer.

Just the thought of it made Zhang Wuying's mood very good and satisfied.
