Chapter 546: Drama (1) (1/2)

Miss Yuan’s face was flushed red from neither anxiety nor shyness, but from her excitement.

Whenever she thought of the time Chu Lian had ‘humiliated’ her in Jinshi Pavilion, she would choke on all the anger that surfaced in her heart. Now it was her turn to enjoy Chu Lian’s humiliation! Chu Lian had been toyed with by another man and she was going to lose her reputation and integrity. To put the cherry on top, there were so many witnesses here to watch it all happen. Even though her marriage with He Changdi had been decreed by the Empress Dowager and she possessed the title of Honoured Lady Jinyi, she would still become the laughing-stock of the whole capital.

She wanted Chu Lian to lose her standing in the capital and get stomped into the ground!

To be frank, Chu Yuan wasn’t just a vengeful person; she was also dumb as hell.

She hadn’t considered how this would affect her at all. She and Chu Lian were both ladies from House Ying and they were close siblings from the same father in the eyes of others. Thus, if Chu Lian’s reputation became tarnished, hers would be as well. The first thing implicated by these events would be her marriage prospects.

However, jealousy had already taken over all her wits and rationality, so she couldn’t care less about the consequences.

She didn’t even notice the sinister and furious gaze that Xiao Bojian was directing at her.

At this point, the courtyard was buzzing with whispers. Everyone seemed to be sure that there was a show worth watching and they weren’t willing to leave.

Many of them were waiting to see Chu Lian make a joke of herself.

Laiyue committed the face of each and every one of them to memory as he continued standing guard.

Xiao Bojian’s hands curled into tight fists. He regretted everything now.

He had planned everything perfectly, but he hadn’t expected the second branch to pull a fast one on him!
