Chapter 160: Will the Regent's Wife Still Lack Friends?

  "Ugh! This cheap slut, still calling herself Miss Zhou Qi? She's just a worthless bastard born to a lowly servant, not even recognized by her own father, Prefect Zhou. She was left in the pigsty to grow up, almost starved to death, and only managed to escape when she crawled out of the sty into the streets... that's how she met Miss Jin Shu..."

  "Miss Jin didn't mind that she was dirty and smelly, so she had the old woman give her a bath and comb her hair, dress her up, and only then did she look like a human being..."

  "But now it seems she was never worthy of being human!"

  "The Minister of Revenue's mansion actually raised such a thing, and they still have the nerve to continue putting it out?"

  "Yes! She should be locked back in the pigsty and continue to associate with a group of pigs that don't understand human nature..."

  These comments, with no one to stop them, grew louder and louder, almost all of them siding with Sheng Jinxiu, scolding Zhou Shuijing until she was covered in "dog blood", and the more they scolded, the uglier it got...

  Zhou Shui Bi's face turned deathly pale, her whole body trembling and covered in cold sweat, but she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

  It turned out that Sheng Jinshu had long known the true purpose of her getting close to the Sheng family all these years!

  It turned out that Sheng Jinxiu had seen through her thoughts and began to set up a plan!

  It turned out that Sheng Jinxiu had asked Murong Yu to send her so many good fabrics, but in fact, she was setting a trap for her.

  So did Sheng Jinxiu know that Lian Murong was someone she had bought off too? So was it on purpose that she gave her that luxurious yet extremely tacky piece of jewelry?

  Sheng Jinxiu knew that she would step on her to climb up at the Spring Day banquet, but did she also know that the person she was eyeing was the Regent King?

  Sheng Jinxiu discovered that she had stolen the nightgown made for the Second Prince, guessed that she would present it to the Regent, so she hastily made another nightgown for the Regent and turned around to frame her?

  It has to be said that Zhou Shui Bi indeed had a heavy heart, but was also clever and quickly thought of the reason why she ended up in this situation.

  Even though she knew it, she found herself unable to resist after all.

  The nightgown was indeed made by Sheng Jinxiu for the Second Prince, but these things had happened before. As long as Sheng Jinxiu insisted on denying it, she actually had no way to deal with her.

  No matter whether she admits it or not, this nightgown is all Zhou Shui Bi's conspiracy!

  It's all evidence of Zhou Shui Bi's wrongdoing against Sheng Jin Xiu!

  She not only lost the opportunity to climb up to the Regent at the Spring Day Banquet and become a noble, but also because of her own plan's failure, she will become an object of disdain throughout the entire Kyoto Imperial City!

  What's even more frightening is that when everyone thinks she did all this, the Ministry of Revenue's residence will be at fault... She'll definitely be taught a lesson once she returns to the Minister's residence!

  And her father and stepmother's means...

  "Sheng Jinxiu! You can't treat me like this!" Zhou Shui Bi stared coldly at Sheng Jinxiu, who was standing on the carriage of the Regent's mansion, her eyes filled with icy resentment: "Have you forgotten? When all the noble ladies in the imperial city of Kyoto despised you for being a humble merchant's daughter, only I befriended you!"

  "Sheng Jinshu, you can't treat me like this, because apart from Zhou Shuibei, you won't be able to find another friend like me!"

  "Hmph!" Sheng Jinxiu sneered: "Do you think I'd still cherish a friend who forgets kindness and betrays righteousness?"

  "I'm now the Regent Queen!"

  She no longer needs friends who repay kindness with enmity.

  As for those who are not sincere, with her current status, isn't it a matter of having as much as she wants?
