Aren't You Afraid of Striking Me Back to My True Form

"Mother, that lightning was so strange. Do you know what happened?" Kevin Zhuo asked.

Grace Wan shook her head, her eyes full of fear and anxiety.

Can she really not become Co-Head Wife?

If she becomes Co-Head Wife, will it bring disaster to the Zhu Estate?

Could it be... because of her true identity...

"Don't worry about it. At worst, things will just stay the same," Kevin Zhuo said. "Let's go back to Snowdrop Garden! Too many people coming and going here, it's not good."

Grace Wan nodded, following behind Kevin Zhuo like a puppet on strings.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned, a servant came to report that Aunt Crystal wanted to see them.

Grace Wan abruptly looked up, gritting her teeth. "Let her in!"

Aunt Crystal entered, bowed, and said, "Mrs. Wan, Madam heard you were ill and sent me to check on you."

Grace Wan took a deep breath and smiled. "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

"Madam says, please don't worry. In her heart, you will always be her dear sister. Her gratitude and respect for you have never changed," Aunt Crystal said.

"I know Madam's heart!" Grace Wan replied. "Tell Madam I don't mind for myself. It's just, with the Empress and the noble ladies... I'm still just a concubine's daughter. I feel I've let them down, so my heart aches a bit."

"Yes, I will be sure to pass your words on," Aunt Crystal said. "Then I'll take my leave!"

Grace Wan nodded.

As soon as Aunt Crystal left, Grace Wan waved her hand and the porcelain on the table crashed into the wall, shattering to pieces.

"So eager to mock me! So eager to show off!" Her eyes were as sharp as knives.

Leon Zane hurriedly left the Lawrence Ancestral Hall, went outside, and got into a carriage.

Inside the carriage was another person—Evan Xiao.

As soon as he saw him, Leon Zane pointed his blackened finger at Evan Xiao, looking so furious he was about to faint. "Your Highness, aren't you going too far!"

"What do you mean?" Evan Xiao asked.

"Stop pretending!" Leon Zane pointed at himself. "I'm a Spirit Practitioner now! Only fourth rank! And you hit me with lightning? Aren't you afraid you'll zap me back to my original form?"

When he said "zap me back to my original form," he was so worked up that he even spat as he spoke.

Evan Xiao scooted away in disgust. "It wasn't me."

"It wasn't you?" Leon Zane's eyes widened. "Then where did that lightning come from?"

"I thought it was you," Evan Xiao said. "I was about to praise you! So it wasn't you?"

"It's just a trivial matter about a Zhu Estate concubine. Why would I bother to call down lightning?" Leon Zane said blankly. "It really wasn't you?"

Evan Xiao shook his head.

"Then what was that all about?"

Evan Xiao's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Let's go to the palace right now and ask Yunshan!"

The 'Yunshan' Evan Xiao mentioned was actually Leon Zane's 'sister,' Li Sanniang.

His sister was certainly no ordinary person.

Her true identity was Leon Zane's cousin, full name: Bai Yunshan.

She was the Third Princess of the most powerful empire on this continent—the Eastern Luo Empire.

She was a true Rune Master, skilled in divination and talisman making.

All of Leon Zane's great achievements were actually her doing.

......

Grace Lawrence went to the General's residence again in the afternoon.

Evan Xiao had just returned from the palace.

Grace pressed him for details about the morning's divination.

"What do you mean?"

"That lightning was completely unexpected. He had nothing to do with it," Evan Xiao said.
