Chapter 185 I heard that I harmed you?

Although Vice Minister Fan did not keep You Bingyue in the mansion to recuperate due to the strict separation of men and women, You Bingyue was, after all, his benefactor, and it was suspected that the accident occurred because she went to Caonan Village, so he naturally would not leave her unattended.

After learning from Du Ziheng that You Bingyue was recuperating there, he brought his wife to visit her.

Later, Du Ziheng said he was going out to find a way to help You Bingyue, so Vice Minister Fan volunteered to stay behind and let his wife take care of You Bingyue.

Before leaving, Du Ziheng left behind the talisman given to him by Yu Zhiyi, so You Bingyue is already awake now.

However, he still didn't seem to be in good spirits and looked listless.

Minister Fan looked on with concern: "Miss You, what exactly happened in Caonan Village? Were you injured?"

When You Bingyue first woke up, she was still dazed.

Since falling into a coma, she has been trapped in nightmares, which have tormented her greatly.

In her dream, she became Cao Zhaodi, taking care of Cao Dali's family in place of Sister Fan. If she did anything slightly wrong, Cao Dali's family would beat and scold her.

Not only the three adults, but even that little bastard Cao Yaozu treated her badly. He not only called her a vixen behind her back, but also often went to Cao Dali's family to complain that she abused him.

As a result, the Cao family hated her even more.

Just when she was about to lose it and want to kill the family, she woke up.

It took her a while to realize that she was awake!

She finally escaped the nightmare!

Upon hearing Vice Minister Fan's question, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

It must be that bitch!

That bitch is skilled in mystical arts; she must have cast some kind of curse on me to give me these nightmares.

Moreover, there's no way to tell the truth about this.

After all, to be honest, it was actually Yu Zhiyi who solved the case.

As a result, she lost her bonus.

Moreover, Vice Minister Fan might even be angry because she lied to him.

Thinking of this, her eyes flashed, and she showed a troubled expression: "Let's not talk about these things."

Vice Minister Fan asked, "What? Is there some hidden story behind this?"

You Bingyue sighed: "Please forgive me, my lord, I don't want to bring this up, so please don't ask anymore."

The more she said this, the more Minister Fan wanted to investigate.

Vice Minister Fan has been in this position for quite some time and is eager to advance further.

His father's highest position was Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, which had little real power. He was able to reach the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites entirely through his own abilities.

He is ambitious.

If he wants to take another step forward, there are only two ways.

Alternatively, he could accumulate seniority on his own and then plan for further advancement after the Minister of Rites retires.

Or...

They directly dismissed the Minister of Rites.

Right now, it seems there's another way.

Let the Minister of Rites compete for the position of Prime Minister.

What about the prime minister?

The prime minister was naturally kicked out.

If he could uncover some inside information about the Prime Minister's residence, it wouldn't be a dream to get rid of the Prime Minister.

You Bingyue had no idea what Vice Minister Fan was thinking. Seeing his repeated questioning, she reluctantly replied, "It's Young Madam Du..."

As if she had finally made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said, "Shortly after we arrived at Caonan Village, Madam Du also went there. She was angry that I had captured Cao Yaozu, so she left Caonan Village that night."

“After he left, I started to feel unwell, but I didn’t think much of it. Who knew that things would get even worse after I arrived in Shengjing.”

"She really is the one who ruined you!"

Vice Minister Fan immediately became indignant: "As a court official, how can you be so narrow-minded! Miss You, rest assured, I will not ignore this matter."

You Bingyue was secretly delighted: "Thank you, Lord Fan."

Mrs. Fan had been watching coldly, but finally couldn't hold back any longer and sneered, "That's enough."

Both Vice Minister Fan and You Bingyue were taken aback. You Bingyue looked at Madam Fan with even more confusion, wondering what was wrong with this woman.

Vice Minister Fan frowned: "Madam..."

Madam Fan retorted directly: "If you like this black-hearted lotus, then don't come back to the manor!"

She sneered, "Just because Doctor Yu isn't here right now, you dare to make up stories about people? Don't forget, Doctor Yu is a senior official in the Ministry of Justice, and the one who initiated the reopening of the Cao Nan Village case." She looked at You Bingyue with disdain, "Are you really not afraid that Doctor Yu will openly slap you in the face?"

Yu Bingyue was furious. This woman!

On the surface, however, she wore a wronged expression: "Mrs. Fan, did I offend you before? Or did you have Mrs. Du tell your fortune?"

Mrs. Fan rolled her eyes: "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, don't try to fool me with that."

"Only a fool would believe that a woman like you, who has interfered in someone else's marriage, speaks ill of them behind their back."

Foolish Vice Minister Fan: "..."

"Doctor Yu is capable and resourceful. If they really wanted to get rid of you, why would they let you wake up so easily and give you the chance to speak ill of them?"

“When you were staying at the Du residence, they didn’t do anything to you, which means they didn’t take you seriously at all.”

He then looked at Vice Minister Fan and asked, "I'm going back now. What about you?"

You Bingyue frowned as she looked at Madam Fan. If looks could kill, Madam Fan would probably have been torn to pieces by now.

He then looked at Vice Minister Fan with some uncertainty.

This man shouldn't be so henpecked, right?

After all, he was a fourth-rank official!

Under the death stare of his wife, Vice Minister Fan hesitated for a moment, then decided...

"Then Miss You, please rest well. We'll be going now."

You Bingyue: "..."

This won't do.

Just as she was about to say something to persuade Vice Minister Fan to stay, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Yu Zhiyi walked in with a mocking expression: "I heard that I ruined you?"
