Chapter 20 He kept a prostitute outside!

At the courtyard gate, Wanqing clung tightly to the corner of the wall, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

What a despicable couple! They've gone too far!

"I understand. I will handle this matter properly and it won't involve you."

Hearing Huo Yunzhan's voice respond from outside the door, Wanqing took a deep breath, turned around, and hurriedly went back into the room: "Miss! They've really gone too far!"

Wanqing stomped her foot angrily and told Shen Qingci everything she had overheard.

Shen Qingci wasn't particularly surprised.

"Huo Yunzhan faked his death and took Huo Yunting's place, all for Liu Ruolan and the power of Prime Minister Liu behind her."

"From the moment he chose to become Huo Yunting, he had already given up on me."

"I've given up all hope for him."

Shen Qingci looked up and smiled: "Since he won't help me get revenge, then I'll have to do it myself."

"My enemies, of course... include him too!"

Wanqing gritted her teeth and nodded. It was all for naught that she had initially found it hard to believe that Huo Yunzhan would do such a thing, and had even said some good things about him.

Looking back now, she really wants to go back and slap her past self twice!

How could Huo Yunzhan treat her young lady like this!

Fortunately, her young lady realized the situation quickly and acted decisively!

Abortion, remarriage, framing – all without mercy.

Wanqing took out a paper package from her sleeve: "Today, I disguised myself as Bitao and left the manor early. I went to the black market and looked for several pharmacies. Finally, I found what you wanted, Miss."

"The pharmacy owner said that this stuff is colorless and odorless. As long as you put it in the other person's food or drink and let them ingest it, he'll be guaranteed to be unable to get an erection no matter how beautiful the woman is!"

Shen Qingci took the package and smiled, "Good, excellent!"

Wanqing glanced at Shen Qingci's expression: "But this stuff needs to be put in the other person's food. Now that he's a marquis, how will Miss..."

Shen Qingci's eyes were dark and brooding: "Don't worry, he will come to me alone again. I will always find an opportunity and a way."

After all, Huo Yunzhan... still wanted to inherit two families.

He would try his best to be a good person in front of her, to sympathize with her, pity her, and comfort her.

She has plenty of opportunities.

Wanqing nodded, not wanting to continue the topic and upset Shen Qingci, and quickly changed the subject: "Today is the first time this servant has met that Regent."

"Isn't the Regent a little too handsome?"

"Moreover, he is really too domineering, and he is really good to Miss, protecting her in every way."

"It's such a pity... how did his leg become crippled?"

"However, judging from his attitude towards Miss, Miss should not suffer any grievances after marrying him."

Shen Qingci's expression was indifferent as she lowered her eyes and played with the paper package: "I thought so too before I married Huo Yunzhan."

"I think Huo Yunzhan is perfect in every way, and he's impeccable when it comes to me."

"We love each other, and if I marry him, I will surely be happy for the rest of my life."

She said with a sneer, "But after I married him, less than a year later, he completely changed his attitude and made me suffer all kinds of pain and grievances."

She carefully put the package away, looked up, and said calmly, "What happened between Huo Yunzhan has taught me that men... are all untrustworthy."

"Never place all your hopes on a man."

"Don't give your whole heart to a man. He will make you lose miserably."

Shen Qingci pursed her lips, Chu Jichen's face flashing before her eyes: "I chose the Regent Prince simply because he is the best choice for me right now."

"His appearance and temperament are not important; what matters is that he is the regent."

"I simply want to use his position as regent to achieve my goal of revenge, so that I can trample Huo Yunzhan and Liu Shi under my feet."

"As for the rest, they are not important."

“If he has a better temperament, I can stay in the Regent’s Palace and play the role of a puppet princess. If he has a bad temperament, I will find a way to get away after I have taken my revenge.”

In short...

There is absolutely no way she would ever give any more genuine affection.

Besides, what sincerity does she have left now?

Huo Yunzhan came again the next day.

As soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to say, "Sister-in-law, the matter from yesterday has been investigated and clarified!"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with your sister-in-law; she was framed!"

Shen Qingci raised her head somewhat blankly: "It has nothing to do with her?"

That's a joke.

Even with witnesses and physical evidence already available yesterday, Huo Yunzhan still managed to say so matter-of-factly that everything had nothing to do with Liu Ruolan.

"yes."

Huo Yunzhan nodded: "Someone disguised themselves as Bitao and that servant from the Prime Minister's residence and orchestrated this whole thing!"

"And all of this started because of Yun Zhan!"

A look of astonishment flashed across Shen Qingci's eyes: "Because of Huo Yunzhan?"

"yes!"

Huo Yunzhan took a deep breath and looked cautiously at Shen Qingci: "Yunzhan used to... keep a prostitute on the side."

"That prostitute seems to be pregnant as well."

“I found out that it was that prostitute who plotted all this because she was jealous of your pregnancy and was afraid that you would give birth to Yun Zhan’s child first.”

"She wants to give birth to Yun Zhan's only child herself, and then bring the child to our door to use the child as leverage to force us to accept her!"

Shen Qingci gripped the blanket beneath her tightly. "Keeping a prostitute?"

Is she already pregnant?

She couldn't even tell that this was a last-minute arrangement by Huo Yunzhan to exonerate Liu Ruolan.

It is true that he kept prostitutes and got one pregnant, but he had to make a sacrifice for the position of Grand Master of the Palace, and used the pregnant prostitute as a shield for Liu Ruolan.

Her hands trembled slightly; if it were true…

The thought of that possibility made her heart ache terribly.

Every time she felt that Huo Yunzhan had hurt her to the extreme, and that nothing could stir any emotion in her heart anymore, she felt a surge of emotion.

Huo Yunzhan would then find another place and deliver a vicious blow to her.

The conversation between Huo Yunzhan and Old Madam Huo previously led to the revelation of the Shen family's affairs.

And now it's like this again...

Every time, she couldn't help but think that she thought she would never feel heartache again, but it turns out that she still does.

Shen Qingci closed her eyes, turned to one side, and trembled uncontrollably all over.

Huo Yunzhan gritted his teeth. Although he didn't want things to develop this way, for the sake of the entire Marquis's mansion, for his future, and for the position of Grand Master of the Palace, he had no choice but to go all out.

"I know this is something you might find hard to accept."

"I also hesitated about whether to tell the truth..."
