Chapter 20: The Conspiracy of One Arrow and Three Hawks

  She was afraid that Yan Beizhen would really lay hands on her brother, and she was terrified.

  What she should have done, she has already done. At this time, she cant show a bit of distrust towards Yan Beichen...

  But if Yan Beizhen really draws his sword to kill or chop off Big Brothers arm, she must rush forward...

  Just as Sheng Chengyi thought he was going to die for sure.

  Yan Beizhuangs hand wiped against Sheng Chengyis knife handle, upwards, and landed on his shoulder, patting it twice: "Dont be nervous, youre Xiao Jiners big brother, this king will still rely on you to protect Xiao Jiner in the future!"

  "Lets go! Im going to visit the Sheng family today, would you mind showing me the way, brother?"

  Sheng Chengyi suddenly opened his eyes and couldnt understand the meaning of Yan Beizhuangs words for a moment.

  Until Sheng Jinxiu came over and pulled on his sleeve, getting into the carriage prepared by the Regent Princes residence.

  Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yan Beichen didnt want to share a carriage with Sheng Jinxiu, so he magnanimously let Sheng Jinxiu and Sheng Chengyi talk.

  "Big brother, theres something I need to tell you right away..."

  Sheng Jinxiu knew that Sheng Dieyi must have already caused a stir in the mansion, so she had to let her brother take her side first. Without hesitation, she told Sheng Chengyi about what was going on between Sheng Dieyi and Yan Ziyen.

  "What did you say? Di Yi has been secretly in contact with the Second Prince?"

  Sheng Chengyi obviously didnt quite believe it: "Jiujiu, where did you get this news from? Could there be a misunderstanding? Dieyi has always been gentle and kind, how could she..."

  Before that, Sheng Dieyi was harmed by rumors from outside and came to his yard in a sickly manner. Seeing him, she cried: "Big brother, you believe me, I clearly know that the second prince is the person my sister likes, how could I possibly have private interactions with the second prince?"

  "Die Yi was still a young maiden who had not yet left the boudoir, her sister spread rumors that Die Yi and the Second Prince were intimate due to a misunderstanding, its really... really unbearable for Die Yi!"

  "Big brother, Butterfly Clothes doesnt blame sister, she was also bullied by that Asura King, and is filled with resentment. You must bring sister back, Butterfly Clothes will explain to her properly..."

  So, between Dieyi and Juxiang, who is telling the truth?

  "Yes, if I hadnt known about her and Yan Ziyans affair, I would have been deceived by her gentle kindness too," Sheng Jinyu said: "Big brother asked me where I got the news from? I told big brother that it was Yan Ziyan who personally told me?"

  "Yan Zi Ye knows Ive entered the Regents palace, worried that Ill ruin his plan with Sheng Die Yi to steal the Sheng family property, so he rushes over to coax me, promising to let Sheng Die Yi and I enter together... wanting me to be a concubine for Sheng Die Yi!"

  "He was going to kill me, but it was the Regent who intervened and saved me!"

  "Also, was it Sheng Dies idea for Big Brother to kneel at the gate of the Regent Princes mansion?"

  "Big brother Geng is so straightforward, thinking that as long as hes not afraid of death, he can exchange me from the Regent Kings hands?"

  Sheng Chengyis expression stiffened for a moment, and he had indeed thought so before.

  Sheng Jinxiu: "But has big brother considered, if he kneels down, it would confirm the Regents crime of forcibly taking a civilian girl, and as for me, who was left in the palace by the Regent for many days, what kind of reputation would I have?"

  "Is she a shameless merchant woman who lures the regent king, or a self-recommended prostitute not as good as a withered flower?"

  "Now the whole city is discussing Sheng Dieyi and Yan Ziyuan, but if Big Brother had died in front of the Regents palace gate, Big Brothers life, the Regents cruelty and ruthlessness, my unbearable pain, would have become a new topic, enough to suppress the scandalous affair between Sheng Dieyi and Yan Ziyuan! This is killing three birds with one stone!"

  She grasped Sheng Chengyis sleeve, her eyes full of urgency: "Big brother, did you understand? Do you still think the idea that Sheng Dieyi gave you is a good one?"

  "This... " Sheng Chengyi was somewhat unsteady: "I didnt think there were still these things."

  "From now on, lets think about it," said Sheng Jinxiu. "Also, whether Sheng Dieyi and Yan Ziyuan have any improper relationship can be easily distinguished. After we return to the mansion, we can just ask a doctor to examine Sheng Dieyi."

  "I know shes now pregnant with Yanzi Yes child, no need to examine her or not, just ask an old doctor on the street to go back and feel her pulse, that happy pulse cant escape."

  As she said this, she paused for a moment, and her eyes filled with icy sarcasm:

  "Unless shes ruthless enough! Ruthless enough to have aborted that child last night..."
