Chapter 83: Sudden Conspiracy Arrives Unexpectedly
Taking something without asking is stealing!
And during this time, in the Yong'an Marquis Manor, there was only one person with a motive to steal this nightgown - Zhou Shui Bi!
In her previous life, Zhou Shui Bi had also met with Yan Bei Cheng alone while wearing the same nightgown she made for Yan Zi Ye, desperately proving her crazy love for Yan Zi Ye and that even if she got along with Yan Bei Cheng, she only wanted to get into Yan Zi Ye's bed!
Yan Beizheng was enraged by Lei Ting's words, and in a fit of anger, he tore the nightgown to shreds. He then stormed into her room and forced himself on her again, leaving her on the brink of death...
Later, no matter when and where, he would disregard her wishes and dignity... In the pavilion garden, in front of people by the window, as long as he wanted to, he could tear off her clothes into shreds at any time...
"Was it... stolen?" Qiushi was shocked: "But this nightgown was placed in Miss's boudoir, who could have stolen it?"
"That thief... what's he doing stealing another nightgown?"
"The thief who stole the night clothes must have been bribed by that traitor! As for what that traitor wants to do with these night clothes, it's clear: he wants to take them to the Regent and use them as evidence to frame me, so I'll be doomed!"
In her previous life, Zhou Shui Bi had handed over her night clothes to Yan Bei Cheng after the Spring Festival banquet.
But this life she changed some things, so it's uncertain when Zhou Shui Bi will make her move!
Breakthrough! She must break through again!
Otherwise, all her hard work over this period of time will be in vain...
Thinking of this, Sheng Jinxi hastily said to Qiu Shi: "I remember that there is still a little bit of fabric left from the Hongyun brocade. Bring it over and let me take a look. I must rush to make another identical nightgown before the thief sends this one to the Regent King!"
"Alright...alright, I'll go find it right away!" Qiu Shi panicked and hastily went to rummage through the wardrobe.
It is said that when Ashura King gets angry, corpses pile up by the millions and blood flows for thousands of miles!
Absolutely cannot let that damned thief harm Miss because of a nightgown, harm the entire Yong'an Marquis Manor...
Just as she finally found the last remaining Red Cloud Brocade, she discovered...
"Miss, there's only this little bit of fabric left, it can't even make a nightgown!" Qiu Shi pinched the fabric that could be shaken open with one hand, looking worried: "Or... exchange it for another similar red fabric?"
"Can't be exchanged!" Sheng Jinxiu said: "This red cloud brocade is extremely rare, perhaps the nobles in the palace may have it, but ordinary families can't possibly have it."
At least, it's impossible for the Ministry of War!
"If a similar red cloth is used as a substitute, it will inevitably arouse the Regent's suspicion!"
She had just quarreled with Yan Beichen, and he was in a bad mood. If Zhou Shui Bi were to send her night clothes up now, wouldn't Yan Beichen, being as stubborn as he is, suspect her?
"What should I do?!" Qiushi was almost in tears.
Sheng Jinxiu's face was cold and stern. She pinched her own nightgown, then suddenly took it off: "Autumn, bring me the scissors!"
The remaining fabric is not enough to make a nightgown, so take apart this nightgown and piece it together.
She's going all in!
Even if Zhou Shui Bi really managed to deliver the nightgown to Yan Bei Cheng before she did, Yan Bei Cheng would still be so enraged that his attention would be drawn to those few lines of poetry and he wouldn't pay more attention to the style of the nightgown.
So she just needs to make a new nightgown that is roughly the same as the original but more complicated and more luxurious, and then she can bluff her way through...
