Chapter 97
"It’s alright," Yueqian nodded to Mu Heng, signaling him not to worry. She and the people from the Art Institute had already planned to deal with this. As long as she could get inside and witness the great scene, exposing was something she excelled at.
The beautiful woman followed one of the soldiers inside. Another soldier had gone ahead to inform the one inside that Eldest Young Miss Qin was coming, so he could prepare.
But if that another soldier was allowed to walk right in, Yueqian wouldn’t get to see the scene she was hoping for. So, a mysterious hand knocked out the soldier with a single blow to the back of his head and dragged him away to hide. This was all part of the help Yueqian had asked for.
From here on, the performance would continue without needing further assistance from him. Yueqian’s acting skills were... well, they were considered the best in the capital.
"Please, come in, Eldest Young Miss Qin," the soldier leading her said with a sly smile. He didn’t even bother to check inside a clear sign of carelessness. After escorting Yueqian to the entrance, he prepared to act as a good stand guard. He would receive a handsome reward once the Young General finished his conversation with Eldest Young Miss Qin.
"Thank you," for being so careless.
Yueqian didn’t say the last part aloud. She just smiled in her usual villainess’ manner. Her expression made the soldier believe wholeheartedly that Yueqian came to meet the Young General this time because she still had feelings for the the general, which made him even happier.
Yueqian walked into the tent, and as soon as she parted the curtain, she was met with a scene that was utterly revolting. She didn’t know what kind of poison the people from the Art Institute had used, but it was potent enough to make the woman’s clothes torn apart as if mauled by a wild animal.
The bodies of both individuals were not even on the bed properly. Yueqian almost vomited at the sight of their filthy bodies. However, to ensure her performance was successful, she held her breath for once and then screamed loudly.
"Ahhh!!! Liu Sun, you scoundrel! How could you do this? Ahhh!!" Yueqian screamed with all her might. Her voice, seemed like it had been trained since childhood, was louder than any amplifier.
Yueqian’s face turned red from exerting so much energy, making her appear furiously angry.
The Young General, who had been on the verge of sleep after a sleepless night, jerked awake in shock. Yueqian was the first person he saw, his eyes widening at his own state and being in front of the beautiful Yueqian.
Her face was flushed with what looked like rage, and her finger was trembling as she pointed at him.
"Qian’er," the one who still had feelings called her name softly. However, when he saw Yueqian’s finger shift to point at the naked Liu Sun, he quickly grabbed a nearby cloth to cover Liu Sun’s body. He didn’t want Yueqian to see the result of his beastly behavior from the previous night.
His face turned bright red with embarrassment and anger.
Even though he knew he had been poisoned the night before, the passionate night should have ended easily, wasn’t it? So why was Yueqian here?!
No, he should have known last night that she would come. Because the Mu family members were captured, the Young General like him had initially figured out who was behind it. Mu Tian’s capture was just a decoy to make her the scapegoat. He had ordered the soldiers in the camp to be informed that if Yueqian come the next day, they must invite her to this place.
This had all been his order.
But why, why did everything turn out like this?
"Ahhh!! You two... How could you two do such a thing? Ahhh!!" Yueqian screamed again after catching her breath. Her scream was accompanied by the uproar outside the Young General’s tent.
"Qian’er, are you alright?" Mu Heng’s voice, along with the villagers’, could be heard outside the tent as he pushed past the soldiers.
Yueqian pretended not to hear them, continuing to scream, which helped everyone figure out which tent the Young General and Yueqian were in.
Ignoring everything else, Mu Heng rushed in and grabbed a soldier’s sword, slashing the tent open. At that moment, Liu Sun stood up, covering herself with a small cloth, her face pale.
"A... Ah! Disgusting! Absolutely disgraceful!" The villagers who witnessed the scene couldn’t help but be shocked. The Young General had only a cloth to cover his body, and Liu Sun, even more concerning, her body bore the marks caused by the other. It was revolting to the people of this era.
No one knew how many times they had engaged in such activities. Even in the difficult conditions of the tent, they had secretly met in the middle of the night.
Of course, this was the thing they used to. This wasn’t the first time Liu Sun had been with the Young General. However, they had never been so blatant about it before.
"Why? Why did you do this? Ahhh!!" Yueqian wasn’t done with her act, so she continued screaming, drawing more and more people to the scene.
Liu Sun seemed about to say something but caught Yueqian’s gaze. Her slender body trembled with fear. Liu Sun knew that Yueqian wasn’t a fool. Since arriving in the village, she had been cautious and aware. However, Liu Sun never imagined it would come to this.
Yueqian made it clear that she wanted Liu Sun and the Young General to become a married couple, distancing herself from them, not wanting to meddle.
But she hadn’t expected that this villainess was still a villainess, just not a foolish one.
Yueqian’s mocking gaze said it all!
Previously, Liu Sun had played a part in Yueqian’s humiliation, leading to her exile. She had orchestrated a scheme to have Yueqian drugged him with an aphrodisiac. Liu Sun had tricked Yueqian into believing that using her body to win over the Young General would work, planning to expose her plan to a crowd later. If Yueqian had a relation with the Young General before marriage, she could never become the principal wife.
All this was to ensure Yueqian was disqualified from becoming the principal wife.
Liu Sun never imagined that the same scheme would be used against her by Yueqian this time! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"What is happening here?" Yueqian’s scream was too loud, combined with the villagers’ commotion, causing those who were taking a look of this place with nobles to hasten their horses.
In the end, they arrived just in time to witness the unfolding situation.
Upon hearing the authoritative voice, Liu Sun trembled. She now knew how it felt to be looked at with such scornful gazes from many nobles. As a woman, she wished she could die right here!
"What... What’s going on here? Young General? Lady Liu?" The Young General frequently entered the palace due to the emperor’s high regard for his abilities. Thus, the princes recognized him.
Miss Liu, the woman with virtue and the potential to become a high-ranking lady. Many princes liked her. If not for her low status and her affection for the Young General, some princes might consider her as his concubine.
Therefore, the reputation of both individuals before the villagers caused them to know those two.
"Greetings, Your Highnesses, Third Prince and Fifth Prince," despite the situation that was unable to be calm, the Young General, as the camp’s leader, couldn’t ignore the formalities. He needed to pay his respects to the two first.
The third Prince, wearing a peculiar expression as he looked at the two of them, waved his hand.
"Enough with the formalities. First... you two should go change your clothes.” Though he appreciated the sight of beautiful women without clothes, he wasn’t shameless enough to let another man’s woman stand naked in front of him and hundreds of people.
It seemed that Miss Liu Sun, a concubine, was raised with the teachings of a concubine mother who climbed into the husband’s bed. Besides, her body, if not a fool, one would know that there used to be several marks like that. This wasn’t the first time they secretly had a relationship, but it was the first time others found out.
"Sob, sob. Father, Mother, Your Highness... you must help me. After this, I don’t want to be involved with this man anymore. He kept telling me I was bad, while he’s the one doing all these things. Now he even says he wants to marry me as his principal wife? Even if I had feelings for him before, I won’t be involved with him anymore!!" Yueqian declared. With her business here done, Yueqian threw herself into her husband’s arms.
"Husband, in the end, you are the one loyal to me. Only you treat me sincerely without plotting behind my back. From now on, no matter what tries to separate us, I’d rather die!" Yueqian hugged her husband tightly. Her performance as the top villainess remained as foolish as ever.
Everyone could sense that this woman was truly mad. She dared to say such things, even dredging up her past wrongdoings when no one else mentioned.
"Alright then, let’s go home," Mu Heng said, receiving a nudge on the arm as a signal from his wife.
Initially, he wanted to laugh at his wife. She cried out of sadness, but there were no tears. Her act was so transparent that it must have felt like a slap in the face to those people.
The Young General, who hadn’t gone far, heard everything and saw Yueqian’s performance. It seemed that since he refused to let her go, she had stopped being polite and didn’t even bother to fake tears for him to make her act appear more convincing.
The thick hands of a man who had slain many enemies using a sword clenched tighter. If he wasn’t in a position where he couldn’t say anything, he would have thrown Yueqian onto the bed and done to her what he had unleashed the night before.
He wanted her to know who her husband was supposed to be. Yes! He was her husband, and she would have him as her only husband. Just wait, Yueqian... He didn’t believe that she would let the entire village perish.
No matter how viciously she acted, she wasn’t truly that cruel. Would she let over a hundred innocent people, including children, die?
Fine! Let’s see who can be more ruthless.
Behind Yueqian, there were only the Young General’s eyes that burned with a vengeful desire to conquer, and Liu Sun’s bitterness gaze. The others could only glance furtively at the Young General and Liu Sun, who were barely covered by small cloths that left nothing to the imagination.
