“Youjin, Dali Kaluda,” Leng Youlan turned her gaze towards them, “make sure Lili Fenya Leite follows through. I’ll be in my room.”
With that, she left the kitchen, her presence lingering like an uninvited guest. The three women exchanged glances, a mix of relief and unease filling the air.
“You think she really means it?” Youjin broke the silence, her voice low.
“She does,” Dali Kaluda replied, anxiety creeping into her tone. “We need to keep an eye on Lili.”
“Let’s just hope she doesn’t take too long,” Lili Fenya Leite muttered, her expression a blend of defiance and resignation.
The kitchen continued to buzz with the remnants of drama, but the focus had shifted. They had a task ahead, one that weighed heavily on their minds.

Leng Youlan looked at their pained expressions and laughed inwardly. However, her tone remained calm. “Lian, shall we stop disturbing our future sisters-in-law’s meal?” She stood up and addressed the three women struggling, “Dear future sisters-in-law, enjoy your meal. I won’t disturb you further. Also, I hope you’ll clean up the kitchen after finishing.”
Youlan looked at Leng Youlan’s departing back and shivered. This woman was terrifying. She was secretly glad she hadn’t planned to make an enemy of her.

Leng Youlan stretched lazily and opened her bright eyes. She had been incredibly sleepy, seemingly sleeping more in these few days than in all her previous years combined. She gently caressed her flat belly and murmured, “Baby, good morning!”
“Dong, dong” sounds rang out, and a servant’s voice came through the door, “Miss, it’s time for breakfast.”
Leng Youlan slowly got up, went to the bathroom to freshen up, changed into casual home clothes, put on large black-framed glasses, and braided her hair into two black braids. Satisfied with her appearance in the mirror, she walked towards the bedroom door.
“Are the others up?” she asked the servant while walking to the dining room.
“Yes, Miss,” the servant respectfully replied.
“Did Lifenya Lite clean the villa thoroughly last night?”
“Yes, Miss.”
It seems this Lifenya Lite is quite good. Perhaps she could be of use later.”
Leng Youlan thought to herself as she entered the dining room.
