353: Drive Away (2nd Update)
She brushed away Yin Suwen’s hand.
“Not knowing is fine, I believe someday someone will tell you where you went wrong. Go pack your things and leave, but remember, don’t take anything that doesn’t belong to you!”
Xie Zhinuan’s eyes were very cold.
The words she spoke were resolute.
She couldn’t understand why Yin Suwen had the audacity to question her at this time, perhaps it was because she had thick skin.
Her pleas met with no response.
Yin Suwen looked up, eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Xie Zhinuan, “You’re just a hypocrite, putting on a show for His Highness Prince Kan. Now that His Highness has dismissed you, you’ve gone and flirted with Xie Rong, and not just Xie Rong, you’ve also ensnared Wang Shaoyu and Xuan…”
“Slap!”
Xie Zhinuan raised her hand and slapped Yin Suwen across the face.
Her eyes blazed with anger.
“Yin Suwen, you are shameless. Don’t think everyone is like you, with nothing but seduction in their hearts and minds, petty and low. If you debase yourself, that’s your own business, don’t drag me into it!”
“I���ve had clear and uncomplicated relations with His Highness Prince Kan, Xie Rong, Young Master Wang, and Young Master Xuan. You, who wallow in filth, will never understand, nor will you ever comprehend. Get out of here, get far away and never let me see your vile nature again!”
When she first met Yin Suwen, she seemed fragile but also appeared to be resolute.
These days, perhaps due to excessive comfort, Yin Suwen began to exemplify all her flaws more and more.
It was truly sickening to behold.
Yin Suwen wanted to say more, but when Xiaoyue, captured by Silliness was brought over, wounded, she immediately fell silent.
“Miss, when I went over, she was trying to escape, and she resisted when I caught her!” Silliness said sternly.
Xiaoyue turned her head away.
In her heart, she knew, how could a peasant girl possess any martial arts skills?
Xie Zhinuan took a deep breath, “Take her to the Governor’s Office. The Lord County Magistrate should also be aware of what happened that day, he’ll know how to deal with it!”
“Yes!”
Silliness dragged Xiaoyue away.
Several times, Xiaoyue looked back at Xie Zhinuan and then at Yin Suwen, suddenly bursting into laughter.
So much for all that scheming, His Highness Prince Kan had seen through it long ago.
But it wasn’t all for nothing, at least she had managed to turn Yin Suwen, hadn’t she?
Yin Suwen tried to say something, but was forcibly dragged away by Yin Zhe to pack their things.
Xie Zhinuan had not concealed Xiaoyue’s identity. Her explanation was simple: the day that the family was killed, His Highness Prince Kan had felt something was off about Xiaoyue, which was why he brought her back. Now that Xiaoyue’s true face had been revealed, she had been sent to the Governor’s Office.
Still, it shocked quite a few people.
“No wonder Xiaoyue was always asking so many questions!”
As for Yin Suwen, she and the people from ‘Kechanglai’ rarely interacted deeply, and their affection for each other wasn’t particularly strong. The departure of the siblings didn’t cause much of a stir.
But Xiaoyue’s case had served as a cautionary tale, reminding people that their master was not one to be bullied or manipulated easily.
When the need to be ruthless came, Xie Zhinuan was never soft-handed.
Work became more diligent, as sneaking and slackness were out of the question.
To Xie Zhinuan’s surprise, after Yin Suwen left, Xiaoyuan brought Dong Sheng to the county town, and both greeted Xie Zhinuan with goofy smiles.
“Master!” Xiaoyuan was overjoyed.
“Why have you come?” Xie Zhinuan was surprised.
Seeing the two of them carrying a bundle, she was even more puzzled.
“Dong Sheng and I have discussed it and decided to follow Master wherever you go. We’ve handed the braised meat shop in town over to my sister and brother-in-law. They can take care of it very well. You can count on it, Master!” Xiaoyuan giggled.
But Xie Zhinuan noticed a palm print on her face and that her eyes were swollen as well.
“Xiaoyuan, what happened to your face?” Xie Zhinuan asked softly.
