Chapter 929: Feng Tianlan and Shen Yunya’s Battle Had Begun

Although Feng Tianlan had threatened Rui’er with that young man, she wouldn’t indiscriminately kill the innocent. That was her original intention and her moral bottom line!

After listening to Feng Tianlan’s promise, Rui’er breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t know why, but although her words were convincing, when she thought of her ungrateful deeds and how she repaid grat.i.tude with vengeance, she felt even more uneasy. Suddenly, she had the desire to commit suicide.

As long as she was dead, Brother Qi would be safe, and she didn’t have to go against her conscience by repaying grat.i.tude with vengeance. She would have the best of both worlds.

Feng Tianlan glanced at Rui’er and said coolly, “Don’t even think about committing suicide. If you’re dead, it will only arouse Shen Yunya’s suspicion. When she finds your little lover, do you think he will still be allowed to live?”

Rui’er raised her eyes and looked at Feng Tianlan in astonishment. Did she have mind-reading powers?

“You kidnapped Brother Qi and threatened me with him, so you should protect him,” Rui’er asked her righteously. Dying wasn’t an easy task. Feng Tianlan was right. If she was dead, Brother Qi would be exposed to Shen Yunya.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianlan sneered coldly, “Should? After following her, you’ve become much more thick-skinned.”

Rui’er felt ashamed and humiliated by Feng Tianlan’s ridicule. Even though she had helped in the conspiracy that led to Feng Tianlan’s death, she had still spoken such self-righteous words, so she felt ashamed.

“I’ve said everything I could say, so can I go now? She’ll get suspicious if I return too late.” She couldn’t die yet, so she had to return for the time being. However, she seemed to have already betrayed Niang Niang.

She would die sooner or later, but she had to protect Brother Qi. He was innocent and couldn’t be implicated by her.

“What are Shen Yunya’s plans?” Feng Tianlan asked in an aloof manner as she raised her eyes.

Rui’er frowned and bit her lower lip. Under Feng Tianlan’s icy gaze, she finally opened her mouth and said, “Niang Niang is conspiring with Princess Zhaoyang. They want you and Young Master Jiang to be alone, then let people witness you two together. There will be rumors spread around Lin’an City. The purpose is to drive a wedge between you and the Demon King.”

“What else?” Feng Tianlan looked up.

“They plan to make you and Luoce Concubine enemies so that the two of you will fight amongst each other. Niang Niang hasn’t given the specific orders yet.” For Brother Qi’s sake, she told everything. She only hoped that Feng Tianlan would keep her promise.

“How much do you know about Shen Bokang’s matter?” Feng Tianlan looked at Rui’er with cold eyes.

“I don’t know anything. I only work for Niang Niang.”

Feng Tianlan looked at her coldly for a long time. After seeing that Rui’er didn’t panic, she said with disinterest, “You can go back to your little lover now. I’ll order someone to take care of the matter so that Shen Yunya won’t find out. As long as you’re tight-lipped and help me, I will protect his life. I won’t let him know about your deeds.”

Rui’er looked at Feng Tianlan’s indifferent expression and domineering aura, which rea.s.sured people that she wouldn’t bother to do something as petty as breaking her promise, and couldn’t help but believe her.

Feng Tianlan played with the teacup in her hand and ordered the guard to send Rui’er off secretly.

Even if Jiang Ying had done that sort of thing under the influence of the bewitching elixir, she couldn’t forgive him because he wasn’t worthy of forgiveness.

And she didn’t plan to bring Jiang Ying out of the bewitching elixir’s spell. He liked Shen Yunya so much now, so if he found out that Shen Yunya actually liked Xi Jin, would he strike back?

Feng Tianlan thought up a scheme. She narrowed her eyes dangerously, and the corners of her lips curled up evilly. She said coldly, “Shen Yunya, our battle has begun.”

So, are you mentally prepared to lose?
