Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 589: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (3)

As her illness grew more severe,

she felt her life hanging by a thread, so she transferred all the shops, land, and manors mentioned in her dowry to Huo Yunjie.

The private savings her original parents had left for her in the dowry, including the profits accumulated from the shops over the years which amounted to tens of thousands of silver coins, had all been swindled by Huo Yuanjie.

Once all her money and property had been given to Huo Yuanjie, he began to treat her coldly and distantly.

He even insinuated that she, a divorced wife clinging to the Huo Family without a legitimate status, had no right to be his mother.

She had never expected this, and even in her naivety, she realized that Huo Yuanjie’s filial piety had been a facade—it was nothing but an act of treachery.

She couldn’t understand why her always kind-hearted mother-in-law had changed so drastically, or why her carefully nurtured son would behave like this.

So, gathering her strength, she decided to seek the truth.

By chance, she overheard a conversation between her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It turned out that the reason Huo Fu and Huo Mu had kept her in the Huo Family was not out of gratitude or genuine affection.

Their interest was in the bank vault keys and codes left by her father.

What was stored in the vault was so critical that once the Huo Family obtained it, they would have the means to overpower the Lu Family, the greatest warlord faction in the south.

Suddenly, she felt as if struck by lightning and in her distress, she vomited blood.

This incident exposed her condition to Commander Huo and his wife, and they had her sent back to her room.

That night, after drinking a bowl of medicine, she vomited blood again, then collapsed weakly onto the bed.

As her life slowly slipped away, she had only one thought, filled with hatred and regret!

After her death, her already distant grandma, mother, and sister—to avenge her—paid with their lives.

This filled her with immense resentment even beyond death, hence Luo Ning came to relive her life in her place.

She had three wishes.

First, to take revenge on the Huo Family, making the people of Huo Family and Luo Family, including Huo Sichen and Ran Yinyin, regret their actions;

Second, to leave the Huo Family, not to be tied down in a marriage, no longer playing the dutiful wife and mother. She hoped to be a modern woman with her career, independent and confident.

If possible, she wanted Luo Ning to live out her life for her, living better than Huo Sichen and Ran Yinyin.

To find a man better than Huo Sichen to remarry, so that her grandma, mother, and sister could be proud of her.

Third, to honor her grandma and mother, treat her sister kindly, repair their relationship, and ensure they lived a happy and healthy life.

After understanding the memories and wishes of her previous life, Luo Ning’s eyes grew cold.

Her overwhelming feeling was that the Huo Family were all despicable, and Huo Sichen was irresponsible and worthless.

Her previous incarnation had been naive and sweet, never really opposing the Huo Family, yet always being deceived and used by them.

Yet even so, the Huo Family did not wish her to die a natural death.

Luo Ning stood up and instructed the maid, "Go fetch some water, I want to wash my face." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

A burly maid immediately went out to fetch water.

Another maid, pretty and well-proportioned, stepped forward and spoke. "Young Madam, have you thought it through?"

"I think what Madam said makes a lot of sense."

"Fifth Young Master must have been bewitched by that vixen outside, that’s why he was lured away; once he has had enough, he will naturally come back."

"You definitely shouldn’t leave, why should you concede your place and benefit that woman?"

Luo Ning glared faintly at the maid, "Then in what capacity should I stay? As a discarded divorced wife?"

Although divorce had become more common, women were still seen as the weaker group; once divorced by their husbands, they were regarded as discarded divorced wives.

"I may still care about my reputation, even if the Huo Family does not."

She sneered, "You’re shameless, you can stay then."

This was Hai Yun, the maid she had bought when she first came to the Huo Family, who had been bought over by Madam Huo and was also secretly in love with Huo Sichen.

Because Hai Yun was sweet-talking and good at flattering, Luo Ning had always valued her greatly and had privately rewarded her with numerous silver coins and jewelry.

Hai Yun’s brother had almost gotten his hand chopped off due to gambling debts, and it was Luo Ning who helped pay off several hundred silver coins.

Moreover, if it weren’t for Luo Ning taking pity on her and buying her at a high price, Hai Yun would have been sold by her family to a nightclub to become the lowest class of escort.

Yet, she was an ungrateful wretch who not only forgot the kindness but also helped Madam Huo coax and persuade Luo Ning.

The last bowl of medicine that Luo Ning drank was also prepared and brought to her by Hai Yun, who personally watched her drink it.

Such an ungrateful wretch deserved to be the lowest class of escort.

Hai Yun didn’t expect Luo Ning to say something like this.

"Young Madam, what’s wrong with you?" Has water gotten into your brain?

Inside, she thought, you are just a discarded wife that Fifth Young Master doesn’t want, what right do you have to say that the Huo Family is shameless?

Of course, these words she only dared think in her heart, but outwardly she still needed to flatter.

Today was the time Huo Sichen had come back to announce the divorce, and previously Luo Ning had been devastated, crying until she almost passed out, which is why she now had a headache and her eyes hurt.

She was even less willing to deal with such a traitorous villain, "Get out!"

Hai Yun looked at her in disbelief with wide eyes, "Young Madam, I’m only trying to help you."

Then she showed a look of feeling wronged, as if asking why Luo Ning would treat her this way.

Impatiently, Luo Ning said coldly, "Get out, don’t make me say it a second time."

The people in this courtyard, aside from the robust maid who had just gone to fetch water, had either been bought or were from the Huo Family.

Right now, she really needed some peace to think about what she should do next.

It was the first time Hai Yun saw the usually gentle Young Madam showing such a cold side.

Upon reflection, she thought that Luo Ning might have gotten furious because of the news of the divorce from Fifth Young Master today.

Although annoyed, Hai Yun still, reluctantly, turned around and left the room.

Inside, she thought, asking her to get out, she didn’t even want to serve anyway, hoping Luo Ning wouldn’t come to her later to confide her feelings or anything.

And she thought, if Luo Ning sought her out later, she would have to get some silver coins or jewelry as compensation.

After Hai Yun left, the robust maid Xue Liu came in carrying water and handed Luo Ning a towel.

"Young Madam, don’t be sad, it’s not worth it," she couldn’t help but tenderly console.

Luo Ning knew that this was the only maid loyal to her; she nodded, "Yes!"

Xue Liu’s family had forced her to marry a man over forty, and when she refused, they nearly beat her to death.

It just so happened she met Luo Ning who was out shopping.

Feeling pity for her, Luo Ning also had spent a high price to buy Xue Liu.

Luckily, Xue Liu was not an ungrateful wretch like Hai Yun; she was truly grateful and good to Luo Ning.

Later, when Luo Ning encountered thugs while out, Xue Liu protected her and enabled her escape, but she herself was caught.

When the police station found Xue Liu, she was just a desecrated corpse.

Thus, when Xue Liu came in just now, an additional desire from Luo Ning’s original identity was triggered, hoping she could protect Xue Liu from dying this time.

Luo Ning kindly said, "Go stand at the door and don’t let anyone in; I want to lie down for a bit."

Seeing that the Young Madam was not so saddened after all, Xue Liu felt slightly relieved.

"Yes!" She went out, closed the door, and stood guarding it.

Only then did Luo Ning get up and walk toward the dressing table.
