She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 339 - 338: Takes Any Whisper for True, This Person Can’t Be Dealt With

Chapter 339: Chapter 338: Takes Any Whisper for True, This Person Can’t Be Dealt With

Yan Wanqing’s eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing Shen Shuyun kneeling on the ground, she pinched her brows wearily.

She didn’t speak.

Hong Wu, however, was frowning intensely at Shen Shuyun, "What have you done? Are tonight’s events related to you?"

Shen Shuyun’s body trembled, her eyes full of tears, "This afternoon, Huai Xinmei blocked my way and made me act as her spy."

"This afternoon?" Yan Wanqing suddenly spoke, remembering, "What did you report to her?"

From afternoon to this moment, it had only been a few hours.

Thinking of the blood and corpses outside, Shen Shuyun cried her eyes out, "I... I haven’t had the chance to find her yet."

"Did you administer the Poisonous Insect Poison?" Yan Wanqing asked again.

Shen Shuyun quickly shook her head, "Even if you give me ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to touch that thing!"

Just seeing those bugs made her feel uncomfortable, let alone touch them.

"Since it wasn’t you, why are you crying?"

Shen Shuyun hiccupped twice, frozen.

That seemed to make sense.

She hadn’t done anything yet.

"Get up, don’t add to the chaos." Hong Wu, too, was both amused and exasperated by the foolish girl before her and coldly said, Shen Shuyun, frightened, snorted out a snot bubble, "But, I promised her I would be her spy, otherwise, she would tell the lady that I stole the lady’s jewelry..."

Grinding her teeth, Shen Shuyun confessed all her crimes.

The moment she spoke out, she felt as if a burden had been lifted.

Originally, she was innocent in Yan Wanqing’s eyes.

But it was out of vanity that she wore the jewelry, which then ended up in Huai Xinmei’s hands, becoming a tool for blackmail.

Yan Wanqing raised her hand and waved it off, "It’s not much money, if you had asked, how could I not give it to you? Don’t embarrass yourself like this again."

Embarrassing... frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

So Yan Wanqing thought it was embarrassing that she would be beholden to someone over a few pieces of jewelry...

Shen Shuyun’s face slowly turned the color of pig liver.

She immediately started crying out loud, "It’s not like I grew up poor... never seen the world, nor have I seen any nice things, Miss, you’ve gone too far speaking of someone like that..."

She cried non-stop, while Yan Wanqing raised her hand emotionlessly.

Hong Wu stepped forward and with a hand blade knocked her unconscious, laying her on the soft couch beside her.

The world quieted down.

"Miss, how should we handle Huai Xin’s body?" Hong Wu asked calmly.

"If Huai Xinmei dares to make a move on me, naturally she must bear the consequences of failure, but right now it’s the second house I don’t want to provoke," Yan Wanqing spoke slowly, her gaze deep, "First dissolve it, let no one discover it."

Hong Wu nodded, picked up the body outside, and vanished above the roof beams with a leap.

Yan Wanqing crossed her legs and began to meditate and regulate her breathing, Cong Ge silently wiped her hair.

The events of this evening were far from over, but after circulating her qi around her body, Yan Wanqing began to recover.

By then, noises were gradually coming from outside as well.

"Cong Ge, help me cover the bedding, just say I drank too much and am already resting," Yan Wanqing instructed.

Cong Ge nodded, covering the bedding, she then walked firmly toward the outside.

No sooner had Huai Xin arrived than Huai Xinmei would surely come to seize power.

Otherwise, tonight’s play would have been all for nothing.

Yan Wanqing quietly listened to the arguing outside, to Cong Ge unable to withstand the crowd, and then the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The leader was none other than Wu Zhen, who had just emerged from the water.

She entered and immediately took a look around the room.

Then her gaze finally settled on the couch.

Through the curtain, one could vaguely see the outline of a person, but it wasn’t clear.

Cong Ge’s angry voice rang out, "How dare you! The Commandery Princess is resting, and you act so recklessly!"

Huai Xinmei’s soft and gentle voice followed immediately, "We just saw a shadow flashing past the courtyard, and everyone was concerned for the Commandery Princess’s safety; that’s why we came to check. Everyone present is a woman, there isn’t a single man among us, what’s there to fear?"

Wu Zhen, not waiting for Huai Xinmei to finish, raised her foot and rushed straight to Yan Wanqing on the couch.

She had heard that Yan Wanqing claimed to be drunk and then returned to her room to meet a man privately.

It was a ploy to make herself fall into the water, diverging Huai Yu, killing two birds with one stone!

Wu Zhen’s hand was already on the curtain, and as Huai Xinmei’s eyes sparkled with light, at that moment, Huai Yu’s voice rose from behind the crowd, "Mother!"

"Get out!" Wu Zhen turned her head and yelled loudly.

Huai Yu stiffened outside, stubbornly refusing to leave, "No, mother!"

If Wu Zhen really lifted the Commandery Princess’s curtain, she didn’t know how people outside would discuss the two of them afterwards.

At this moment, Wu Zhen was so furiously impatient, she could hardly care about these concerns.

All she knew was that if Yan Wanqing lost her chastity before marriage, when her eldest son returned, she certainly would not let such a person be the Marquis Residence’s legal wife!

As the curtain was lifted.

Wu Zhen met a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to smile but not smile.

Yan Wanqing, supporting herself with her hands on the couch, slowly sat up, and Cong Ge, without saying a word, squeezed through the crowd, took a shawl, and covered her thin top, then glared at Wu Zhen, "The audacity of the Marchioness! To lift the Commandery Princess’s curtain as you please, does the entire Marquis Residence lack such manners? You’ve disturbed the Commandery Princess’s rest, what should be the punishment for this?!"

She glared fiercely, ultimately overpowering Wu Zhen with her aura.

Wu Zhen, looking at the thin bedding beneath which there was only Yan Wanqing, where could she not understand then?

She had been used by someone.

Her lips trembled twice, and she subconsciously turned back to look at Huai Xinmei.

But at this point, where was she to be seen?

Huai Xinmei had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave!

Only she remained!

And the befuddled City Lord’s wife, whom Wu Zhen had dragged over to bear witness.

"What exactly is happening..." the City Lord’s wife met Wu Zhen’s eyes, confused.

"That will have to be asked of the Marchioness, what reason could you have, not sleeping at night, but instead to create such a fuss to lift the Commandery Princess’s bedding," Yan Wanqing’s eyes were cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

Wu Zhen quickly waved her hands, "No, that’s not..."

"Please make way, servant needs to dress the Commandery Princess." Cong Ge snatched the curtain from Wu Zhen’s hands and then forcefully pushed her out.

If it were not for the quick reflexes of the nursemaid, Wu Zhen would have likely fallen to the ground.

Cong Ge’s heart was turbulent.

She quickly dressed Yan Wanqing.

"Miss is of noble birth, these rustic goods from the Northern Border actually have no manners bursting in like this." She did not lower her voice so in the silent room, everyone heard her, shifting their expressions continuously.

Only then did the City Lord’s wife realize the seriousness of the situation.

The Commandery Princess was a distinguished guest of her own husband, Wu Zhen was her future mother-in-law, but since she hadn’t married yet, it was still the prestigious status of the Commandery Princess. Her heart was full of regrets—the lord had already offended the Commandery Princess once at the banquet, and now she herself had unwittingly become involved.

She didn’t know what the Commandery Princess would do next.

It was all the fault of this Marchioness, whose actions were so unstable and who believed rumors too easily, truly unbearable!

Wu Zhen noticed the accusing gaze of the City Lord’s wife, and she felt even more uneasy.

She had fallen into the water, was hot with anger, and had been deliberately misled, directing all the blame onto Yan Wanqing, only to end up on the grill herself.

At this moment, Wu Zhen felt agonized all over.
