Chapter 132: She is not her

"She's not her?" Jingwu asked, looking at the person in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Yun Fanjing nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I used to just dislike what she did, but now I feel disgusted whenever I see her and don't want to get close to her. Moreover, her behavior is too abnormal. Someone who doesn't like to eat fish actually ate most of a bowl of fish at the banquet. Don't you think that's strange?"

"It is a bit strange. Do you know where she is? I can go and see her, but I'll have to pay for the divination."

Yun Fanjing immediately took out one tael of silver and handed it to her: "Is this enough?"

"Too many."

"It's alright, you can keep it."

Jingwu did not refuse and accepted the silver. He then said, "I need to see her face, or does Your Highness have her birth date and time?"

Yun Fanjing shook her head: "No. But it's okay, I'll take you to see her in a couple of days."

"good."

The carriage stopped as soon as he finished speaking.

The coachman outside said, "Your Highness, the street is just ahead, and it's too crowded for the carriage to go any further. Would you like to get out?"

"Okay, I'm coming down." Yun Fanjing responded and lifted the curtain to come out.

Jingwu followed behind and got off. At first glance, he saw a bustling and thriving scene.

The streets were bustling with activity, and almost everyone was carrying a lantern.

Jingwu's gaze fell on the lanterns on the stall. Just as she was about to go up and ask about the price, she saw someone beat her to it and buy the lantern.

“Awu, I think this magnolia lamp suits you very well, so I’m giving it to you.” Yue Huai held the lamp up in front of her, his face flushed slightly.

Jingwu smiled and took the lamp, saying, "Thank you."

"Cousin Huai, what about me?" Yun Fanjing forced a smile, leaned closer, and teased, "Why do you only remember A-Wu and not me?"

"I haven't forgotten you." Yue Huai handed her another peony lantern: "This is yours."

"Thank you, cousin." After taking the lantern, Yun Fanjing immediately pulled the person next to her and said with a smile, "Awu, I'll take you to a fun place, let's go quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led her into the crowd.

Jingwu was led by the hand and followed behind her, walking along the street and looking at the scenes.

A toddler reached out to his mother for a sugar figurine, while a woman in a red coat bowed her head, smiling shyly as her sweetheart put a hairpin on her head.

Several girls walked along the roadside, carrying lanterns and laughing.

Jingwu watched these scenes intently, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Yun Fanjing had stopped walking at some point, her gaze falling on a woman in the restaurant.

She pursed her lips and immediately tugged at the person next to her.

“Awu, look, this is Su Wanyin.”

"Huh?" Jingwu came back to his senses and followed her gaze, just in time to meet the eyes of the woman in the restaurant.

She frowned when she saw that figure.

Others might not see it, but Jingwu saw it clearly.

Behind Su Wanyin is a tail. Within her body are two souls, one very weak soul being suppressed by the other.

It seems that he has been possessed.

Su Wanyin, who was in the restaurant, also saw her. Her instincts told her that the girl downstairs was very dangerous, so she narrowed her eyes and wanted to take a closer look.

"What a powerful sorcerer, and so young."

She stuck out her tongue and licked the back of her hand, then turned and walked back into the restaurant.

"Ah Wu, don't you feel cold?"

Yun Fanjing wrapped her cloak tighter around herself and shivered.

Jingwu's gaze followed the figure until it disappeared, then he shook his head: "Not cold."

"This is really strange." Yun Fanjing muttered to herself, then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Awu, have you figured anything out?"

Jingwu lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Your Highness, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter."

"Why?"

“Su Wanyin was possessed by a cat demon, but the cat demon was only doing it to avenge her and had no ill intentions. It will leave on its own after it has done so,” Jing Wu said, pulling her hand as they walked back.

"Revenge? What revenge?" Yun Fanjing asked in confusion.

"A few days ago, Su Wanyin went to a temple to pray for blessings, but her stepmother caused her carriage to fall off a cliff, and she almost lost her life. Fortunately, she was saved by a cat demon she had saved when she was a child. The cat demon couldn't stand her cowardly appearance and all she could do was cry, so it possessed her body and went to avenge her."

"Huh?" Yun Fanjing's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "Her stepmother is so wicked? But why is that? She's not a man, so why can't her stepmother tolerate her?"

Jingwu stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Because of the huge dowry her mother left her, Su Wanyin has held onto it tightly all these years. Her stepmother was envious and tried countless methods, but failed to get a single penny from her, so she naturally started to have wicked ideas."

She looked at the person in front of her and said seriously, "Your Highness, I will not get involved in this matter."

Yun Fanjing nodded seriously: "We really shouldn't get involved in this matter. We should let that cat demon teach her stepmother a lesson."

The two took a few more steps forward, and the next second, a disheveled woman rushed out of the restaurant and stumbled into the street.

"Help! Help me! Su Wanyin has gone mad! Help me!"

The woman, disheveled and with messy hair, ran outside crying, knocking down several people in the process.

She saw a figure not far away, her eyes lit up, and she rushed straight towards that person.

Seeing this, Jingwu frowned and immediately conjured a spirit rope, which he then threw out to bind her waist and restrain her.

Shao Chengrui, who was being targeted, was also very perceptive and immediately dodged to the side, hiding as far away as possible.

Jingwu watched his cousin walk away before retracting the spirit rope. The woman lost her support and fell to the ground with a thud.

“Su Wanxin?” Yun Fanjing recognized her face and frowned deeply. She immediately leaned close to the person next to her and introduced her: “This is Su Wanyin’s younger sister, born to her stepmother.”

Jingwu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me! Su Wanyin is a monster, she's not human! She's trying to kill me!"

Once Su Wanxin saw the person's face clearly, she immediately shifted her focus, rushed to her feet, grabbed her skirt, and cried out for her to take charge.

Yun Fanjing frowned, looking at the black handprint left on the hem of her skirt, a surge of anger rising within her. This was newly presented Yun brocade, which she had rushed to finish before the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and now she had stained it!

"Your Highness! It's bad enough that my elder sister bullies me at home, but she even tries to ruin my reputation! Please, Your Highness, do me justice!"
