Chapter 715: Mikhailovna Finally Made Up Her Mind! (Seeking

Li Chen had been lingering in the Shuysky family for a not-short period of time.

During this period, his harvest could be described as quite abundant.

Not only did he completely conquer the pair of sisters, Olga and Lyudmila, who had different personalities but were equally charming, but also through Olga's effective missionary activities.

He "accepted" several beautiful noblewomen and young ladies of the Shuysky family who came because of his reputation or were moved by the "Glory of the Witch Ancestor" in a logical way.

His courtyard was almost singing and dancing every night, full of ambiguous atmosphere.

However, in this fief that seemed to have been controlled by him, there was always a piece of "hard ice" that had not melted—that was the mother of the sisters, Mikhailovna, who still had charm.

No matter how Li Chen wantonly had fun with her daughters and other women in the courtyard, creating what kind of face-red-heart-beating movements, this worried noblewoman always held the last bottom line.

She was like a frightened but dutiful mother lion, only anxiously pacing and looking out at the periphery of the nest, guarding against dangers from the outside world, but never stepping into that dangerous vortex center.

Li Chen's hints, whether explicit or implicit, those "excessive demands" carrying teasing and coercion, were all resisted by her gritting her teeth and pretending to be calm, and she never agreed.

Li Chen rubbed his chin and began to reflect on his strategy.

He realized that perhaps in Mikhailovna's view, since her two daughters had already fallen and become his people, then she, as a mother, going to "sacrifice" herself to exchange for her daughters' safety seemed meaningless, and the logic didn't hold up.

Moreover, those women who had actively or passively submitted to him might have lost the value of "saving" in Mikhailovna's eyes. After all, in noble circles, this kind of romantic affair, although not glorious, was not rare.

"It seems that a new 'stimulation point' is needed." A calculating light flashed in Li Chen's eyes, "Need a target she truly cares about and hasn't been 'tainted' by me yet. In front of her, make a move on this target, and see if she can still be like now, watching coldly and remaining indifferent."

His gaze quickly locked onto an excellent candidate, that was the wife of the eldest young master Dmitri, Valentina.

This eldest sister-in-law, known for her sharp-tongued and stunning appearance, had a special status in the family.

She was deeply loved by her mother-in-law Mikhailovna. After all, the marriage back then was arranged and presided over by Mikhailovna.

Valentina was almost watched by Mikhailovna since she was a child, and their relationship was as close as mother and daughter. She was the "virtuous daughter-in-law" who was well-behaved, clever, and well-matched in social status in her mind.

It was precisely because of Mikhailovna's love and support that Valentina dared to be so arrogant and domineering in the family, even using her ability to ridicule the nominal son-in-law Leonid to the extreme.

"It's her." Li Chen's mouth hooked into a playful smile, "Starting from this eldest sister-in-law who is deeply loved, the effect will definitely be extraordinary."

Having decided on the plan, Li Chen began to look for opportunities. He didn't rush to use any supernatural means, but chose a more "natural" way.

This afternoon, the sun passed through the lush maple leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the garden path.

Li Chen calculated the time and pretended to take a walk in the garden, "coincidentally" meeting Valentina, who was picking flowers to decorate the living room.

"Good day, respected Master Wizard." Seeing Li Chen, Valentina was slightly startled, then restrained a bit of her usual sharpness, and bowed respectfully.

Although she had heard of the rumors about this mysterious wizard and the women in the family in private and didn't take them to heart, on the surface, for this guest who even the ancestor seemed to be quite wary of. ===== CHAPTER 716 =====
