Capítulo 22

What did you do? "Nothing, just said hello."

"Say hello? Do we need to hold hands to say hello?" He scoffed, clearly not believing her.

"Otherwise, what do you think I did to him?" Su Yuyin shouted impatiently. After being dragged for so long, it was no wonder she was in a bad mood.

Snap!

A slap landed on Su Yuyin's face. Ouyang Tianyun's anger was now out of control. His face was ashen as he accused her, "You promiscuous woman! A few days ago, Mei'er told me she saw you seducing Tianyu. I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that after Tianyu left, you would shamelessly seduce my friends. You keep saying you don't love me, yet you go and seduce them. I want to know what I'm lacking compared to them? Tell me!"

Xiangmei? It's Xiangmei again! It seems she won't stop until she's dead. And that young master, he seems to have become addicted to hitting women, slapping them at the drop of a hat; this is the second time already.

“You are indeed inferior to them; at least they don’t hit women.” Su Yuyin said resentfully, rubbing her burning cheek. What right did he have to hit her?

"You..." Ouyang Tianyun was so angry he couldn't speak. She said he was inferior to them? His beloved wife actually said he was inferior to them. He took a deep breath. "So you're admitting you seduced them."

What? What kind of logic is that?

Seeing that she didn't answer, he continued, "Not saying anything? You're admitting it?"

This man is truly unreasonable, and Su Yuyin's anger was also ignited. "So what if it is? They are a hundred times, a thousand times better than you. I was seducing them. Are you satisfied now?"

"Bitch." Ouyang Tianyun cursed angrily, raising his hand, about to deliver another slap, but stopped abruptly in mid-air after seeing Su Yuyin's cold gaze.

"Go ahead and hit me, why did you stop?" Su Yuyin looked at him with disdain. What kind of good man would hit a woman? And she dared to ask where he was inferior to her.

Ouyang Tianyun withdrew his hand, slammed the door shut without a word, and left.

Su Yuyin propped herself up, grabbed a mirror, and looked at her swollen face. Oh God, she didn't want to stay in this awful place. If this continued, she was afraid the couple would kill her here.

"Miss, the young master hasn't returned for a day and a night. I heard he was driven away by that vixen." Xiaolin poured her mistress a cup of tea and reported the news she had gathered.

"Really?" Xiangmei asked casually as she gracefully sipped the tea Xiaolin had served her.

“Miss, I heard that it’s because that vixen was seducing Young Master Qi that the eldest young master got so angry and locked her in the room, not allowing her to go out.” A cruel glint flashed in Xiaolin’s eyes as she whispered in Xiangmei’s ear, “Why don’t we take this opportunity to get rid of her and prevent future troubles?”

"There are guards outside, how can we get in?" If we can get rid of her, my cousin will be hers alone.

"Don't worry about this young lady, Xiaolin has a plan," Xiaolin whispered to Xiangmei, adding, "We just need to make it look like she committed suicide. Then, as long as she insists she didn't go to the backyard, who will suspect us?"

"Alright, let's do it this way. I refuse to believe I can't get rid of that vixen." Xiangmei smiled sinisterly, and no one would believe that she was once an innocent little girl.

Chapter Eleven

"Hey, you two brothers, you've been standing here all day, why don't you go and take a break?" Xiaolin brought a pot of wine and came to Su Yuyin's door, smiling charmingly at the two guards.

"Miss Lin, you don't know this, but the young master ordered us to stay here and not leave," a gatekeeper said, swallowing hard.

"You two have worked hard. This is a reward from my young lady." Xiaolin handed them a few taels of silver and waved the wine pot in her hand. "This is Xiaolin's way of showing her appreciation to you two."

After saying that, the two gatekeepers grabbed the wine jug and started drinking. Before long, they collapsed to the ground and passed out.

"They're not dead, are they?" Xiangmei, who came out from behind the tree, kicked the "corpse" lying to the side and said with disgust.

"No, she just fainted," Xiaolin said, clapping her hands.

"What if they..."

"Don't worry, the one I used won't remember what happened before when they wake up."

As they spoke, the mistress and servant pushed open the door and entered, finding Su Yuyin resting on the bed. They exchanged a smile, assuming she was asleep, and that this was the perfect opportunity to make their move. The two slowly approached…

Suddenly, Su Yuyin's voice rang out. The two were startled.

"How can you be so rude? You should at least let us know before entering someone's room. Are you here to steal something?" Su Yuyin sat up in bed. Actually, she had woken up when they pushed her in.

"I heard you were locked up by your cousin. We're like sisters, so it's only right that I come to see you." Xiangmei sat down on a chair nearby and took the water that Xiaolin brought her and drank it.

Like sisters? Wow, this woman really dares to say that. If they can be considered like sisters, then police officers and thieves can sit together drinking and playing drinking games.

"Doesn't my sister know that I'm like this entirely because of her?"

"Sister, where did this conversation lead?"

Pretending to be stupid? Whatever, let her say it. "If it weren't for you saying those things to my husband, sister, how could I have ended up in this state?"

"Sister, you're mistaken. I'm just telling the truth. I did see you and Uncle together that day, chatting and laughing. Don't you remember?"

"Really?" Su Yuyin smiled. She didn't care. If Ouyang Tianyun could divorce her like this, she'd be more than happy. The problem was, he wouldn't let her go.

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Sister, you can't blame me for being nosy; I'm doing this for my cousin's own good." Xiangmei maintained her image as a noble lady until now. She still spoke softly.

Huh? Su Yuyin was truly in awe of her. How could she say such things without batting an eye? "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place." Wasn't she afraid of the consequences falling on her?

"And what about you?"

"What?"

"You think what you've done won't be discovered?" That phrase should be used to describe you. Su Yuyin added in her mind.

"I don't understand what my sister is saying?"

Deny it to the death? No problem. Since we can't even get started, let's finish what we're saying. "Six months ago, it was you who pushed Su... me into the river, wasn't it?"

"You remember everything?" Xiangmei squinted at her, her face showing no fear. "But that's no longer important, because..."
