Chapter 2936 - 2937: Thorough Analysis
Chapter 2936: Chapter 2937: Thorough Analysis
The evil entity clearly took advantage of a trace of greed deep within Wu Qiao Jun’s heart, amplifying it until she gradually fell into madness.
So as long as this evil entity is destroyed, all problems will be resolved!
For Xue An, this is as easy as it gets, especially since he has already locked in the target.
But Xue An is still prepared to wait a bit longer because he truly wants to know what kind of existence is orchestrating all this from behind the scenes.
Because the evil entity beside Wu Qiao Jun cannot possibly be the initiator; there must be a hidden hand behind it.
And Xue An believes that this day will come very soon.
It might not even take three days.
.......
In the Wu Family’s back residence, Wu Qiao Jun lay in bed, her face unnaturally flushed.
Xue An made a mistake.
Wu Qiao Jun really is sick.
Of course!
Her illness is largely caused by the urgency and frustration from last night’s events.
At this moment, her son Wu Niantang walked over with a bowl of water.
"Mother, have some water!"
Today he hasn’t gone to the front hall, instead staying in the back residence to care for his sick mother.
Seeing her obedient and adorable son, Wu Qiao Jun, who was initially full of rage, finally felt a bit comforted.
Wu Niantang can be said to be her greatest pride.
Though he is only seven years old, he has already demonstrated astonishing talent.
Only someone like him is worthy of becoming the Family Head of the Wu Family!
This thought churned in Wu Qiao Jun’s mind as she took the water handed by Wu Niantang, drank a few sips, and returned it.
"Good son, go back to your room and rest for a while. You’ve been worn out during this period!"
"No, I want to stay with you, Mother!"
"Good child, Mom doesn’t need company. I’m just very tired, and resting a little will make it better!"
Eventually, Wu Qiao Jun managed to persuade Wu Niantang to leave.
After her son left, Wu Qiao Jun immediately gave an order: "Call Liu Ma to come!"
Soon, the old maid who strongly advised Wu Qiao Jun to take action last night came into the room.
When it was just the two of them in the room, Wu Qiao Jun was seething with anger.
"This is the good idea you mentioned last night, and it really put me in a terrible spot! I was ridiculed and humiliated, not to mention the task wasn’t completed! What do you suggest I do now?"
Last night’s events were unknown to others, but this Liu Ma was well aware of them.
Therefore, she just chuckled when she heard this.
"Madam, please don’t worry; I didn’t expect this boy to be so impervious, rejecting even someone as stunning as Madam, but this is not necessarily a bad thing!"
"Not a bad thing? How can it be a good thing? Are you happy that I’m so embarrassed?" Wu Qiao Jun said sharply.
If it were any other ordinary servant, seeing their master so furious would have terrified them.
But Liu Ma didn’t show the slightest sign of panic; she instead smiled calmly.
"Certainly no intention of ridiculing Madam. I’m just being honest. Imagine if Madam couldn’t coax this young man despite offering herself, then Wu Nianyin, who has just returned from outside with even fewer bargaining chips, would find it even harder to win him over, wouldn’t he?"
These words made Wu Qiao Jun’s eyes light up, and she no longer felt angry.
"You’re saying... Wu Nianyin isn’t having it easy either?"
"Definitely not easy. I just took a walk over there and found the maidservants Wu Nianyin sent in last night are now sweeping the courtyard!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiao Jun let out a long sigh of relief.
"If that’s really the case, then it counts as good news! Liu Ma, what do you think we should do next?"
Despite her anger, Wu Qiao Jun actually relies on Liu Ma now.
Liu Ma is like her chief strategist, frequently providing advice and suggestions.
At this moment, Liu Ma smiled slightly at Wu Qiao Jun’s question.
"There’s actually a simple solution, just one word: delay!"
"Delay?"
"Yes! Delay! Delay until the second young master grows up, and everything will be different."
Seeing Wu Qiao Jun still a bit confused, Liu Ma continued explaining.
"Before finding a solution to a problem, one must first understand the advantages and disadvantages of both enemy and ally!"
"Currently, you, Wu Nianyin, and Second Master Wu Shaobei are the three giants of the Wu Family, standing in a tripartite situation; all of you are most eligible to aspire to the Family Head position. Among these, Second Master Wu Shaobei has the strongest capability, but he doesn’t seem interested in the Family Head position, always ambiguous in attitude, so let’s temporarily exclude him!"
"Your strengths compared to Wu Niantang are even more apparent. What are your advantages? It’s the love from the former Family Head in the past, the rightful mistress of this house, and being the legitimate mother of the Wu Family’s second young master! These advantages are considerable, but the disadvantage is just as obvious: you don’t bear the surname Wu!"
Wu Qiao Jun wanted to refute but found herself speechless.
Liu Ma continued: "As for Wu Nianyin, he has many disadvantages such as being away for a long time, with a weak foundation in the family power. But he has one advantage that outsiders cannot match, and that is the legal support!"
"He is the legitimate eldest son, groomed to be the Family Head since childhood, so his advantage is great enough to offset all his disadvantages! I think this might also be the reason why Second Master doesn’t want to get involved in the contest for Family Head!"
"But Madam, you are different from Second Master. Second Master holds an honorary position, and whoever becomes the Family Head doesn’t harm him. But you and Wu Nianyin have already torn faces, and the way Wu Nianyin remembers the ambushes along the way means you can’t give up regardless of how strong Wu Nianyin’s advantages are!"
"I’ve been thinking about this matter for you these days as well. The only solution is to delay!"
"Under no circumstances can you allow Wu Nianyin to ascend to the Family Head position, no matter what method you use to drag this down, if you can delay until the second young master reaches adulthood, even better! Even if you can’t delay that long, you must at least wait until after the funeral! Because under normal circumstances, once Wu Nianyin returns, he must first become the Family Head and bury his father as the Family Head!"
"But if he hasn’t become Family Head by the end of the funeral, people’s hearts will inevitably waver, and that will be your greatest opportunity!"
This extensive analysis, coming from the mouth of a seemingly simple maid, is enough to astound anyone.
Wu Qiao Jun listened, her eyes shining brightly, almost clapping in approval, and finally couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Liu Ma, you are truly wise and resourceful; I shall certainly reward you richly once this affair is accomplished!"
"Madam, you are too polite, this is my duty!"
Wu Qiao Jun was very pleased with Liu Ma’s attitude, but she did not notice that when Liu Ma bowed to express gratitude, her eyes twinkled with a light not meant for humans.
