Chapter 614 Are you willing to serve me?

Shen Guannian was getting impatient: "I've already said, your affairs have nothing to do with your sister! No matter how bad she is, she would never use such a vicious method to harm you! There must be someone else who is harming you. Your shouting and making a scene with your sister will only hurt your loved ones and please your enemies!"

He was already heartbroken that his daughter's innocence was ruined; if Shen Wantang's innocence were also ruined, then everything would be over!

Putting everything else aside, he couldn't explain himself to Gu Qianhan alone!

He didn't want to mess with that jinx!

Shen Mingxuan had no idea of ​​his fear. She roared, "Father is biased!"

Shen Guannian said coldly, "Guards! Take the young lady back to her own courtyard and confine her for three days! She is not allowed to leave the house without my permission!"

"Father!"

Shen Guannian ignored Shen Mingxuan's cries and ordered a servant to drag her away.

The room fell silent.

Sweat rolled down Hua Yi and Chu Yanluo's faces. Shen Mingxuan had left, but the two maids were being held captive here.

Shen Wantang didn't speak, so the two men in black kept their swords to their necks. The cold, sharp touch made them stand like wooden statues, because if they moved even slightly, the sharp blades would cut their delicate skin!

Chu Yanluo, having been reborn twice, was much calmer than Huayi. She spoke first: "Second Miss, we only came with the Eldest Miss and have no ill intentions towards you. Shouldn't you ask them to release us as well?"

"Let you go?"

Shen Wantang sneered: "Are you all innocent? You seem to have some cunning and scheming ways. Tell me, why would someone impersonate a servant of the Duke's mansion, imitate Gu Qianhan's handwriting, and trick me into going out?"

"How...how would I know? Perhaps the Second Miss offended someone unintentionally!"

"Who did I offend? Who would hate me so much that they would trick me into going out, drug me, and sell me to Chichun Lane? This kind of revenge seems familiar. A few days ago, someone was tortured in this way. Tell me, who was that person?"

Chu Yanluo's heart skipped a beat. Looking into Shen Wantang's sharp and cold eyes, she felt as if Shen knew something.

How is this possible?!

Only Huayi knew about her reply to Liu Nanshi; no one else could possibly know!

Could it be that the painting revealed a secret?

Chu Yanluo slowly turned her head and looked at Huayi.

When the painter looked over, she quickly denied it: "Luo Yan, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't say anything!"

Shen Wantang walked up to Huayi and said calmly, "Huayi, you seem to have forgotten something. Your indenture is still in my hands. Strictly speaking, you are my maid, not Shen Mingxuan's, and certainly not this Luo Yan."

Hua Yi's face turned pale: "Second Miss, it's not that I don't want to serve you anymore, it's that you don't want me anymore. I was forced to serve the Eldest Miss. I'm innocent!"

"So, you're willing to serve me?"

"This servant..."

Huayi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said with a pitiful look, "This servant is willing. As long as Second Miss does not mind that this servant is dull, this servant is willing to serve Second Miss for the rest of her life. It's just that Eldest Miss is afraid that she will not be willing to part with this servant. This servant does not want Second Miss to have a conflict with Eldest Miss because of this servant. This servant is willing to compromise and serve Eldest Miss, so as to resolve the conflict between you two."

Shen Wantang sneered, "Hua Yi's green tea style is really as consistent as ever!"

“Shen Mingxuan and I are sisters, after all. What kind of irreconcilable conflict could we have? You saw it yourself, didn’t you? I hit my sister, and she wasn’t angry. So if you come back to serve me, my sister definitely won’t have any objections.”

Hua Yi opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

When it comes to blatantly lying, who can outdo Shen Wantang?!

Shen Mingxuan wasn't angry at all; she was absolutely furious!

Shen Wantang didn't care what Hua Yi was thinking at all. She waved her hand, and Qingjin and Qingyin immediately sheathed their swords, walked out of the courtyard, and disappeared.

As the two men in black left, Hua Yi and Chu Yanluo both breathed a sigh of relief. The two men were incredibly imposing, and their murderous aura was so strong that it made them feel cold all over.

"Oh, right."

Shen Wantang spoke calmly: "Huayi, tell me, how did you escape from a place like Chichun Lane? And I heard that you and Luoyan are both unharmed and have not suffered any injury? How did you do that?"

The artist froze, unwilling to answer the question.

Her strength was extraordinary, and she usually tried her best to hide her abnormality. However, after being drugged, she had no choice but to reveal her strength.

Unfortunately, the effects of the muscle-softening powder and the aphrodisiac powder were too strong, greatly weakening her strength. She could only barely protect herself and Chu Yanluo.

Actually, she originally wanted to protect Shen Mingxuan, because Shen Mingxuan was the master after all.

But Chu Yanluo said that they had a grudge in their past lives, so she didn't need to care about her and that making her suffer was the only way to appease her hatred.

Moreover, Chu Yanluo promised to help her become Xiao Qingyuan's concubine, so after weighing the options, she chose to protect Chu Yanluo instead of Shen Mingxuan.

Afterwards, they only told Shen Mingxuan that the two of them were maids and that those people looked down on them, so they didn't touch them.

The three of them were able to escape from Chichun Lane entirely thanks to her punches and kicks. After the effects of the muscle relaxant wore off, even the strongest man in Chichun Lane was no match for her.

But Hua Yi didn't want to tell Shen Wantang any of this.

Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Wantang merely glanced at her indifferently and did not press further. After all, she actually knew the real reason, and asking these questions was just an act.

She sat down on the chair at a leisurely pace: "Luo Yan, go back and tell Shen Mingxuan that Hua Yi was originally my maid. Now, it is only right that she stays in my courtyard to continue serving me."

Chu Yanluo looked at Shen Wantang with suspicion, wondering if she also knew about Huayi's special ability. After all, if someone were to be sent to Chichun Lane to inquire, they could find out how the three of them escaped—Huayi single-handedly took down more than a dozen big men in Chichun Lane!

In her past life, she always felt that Huayi was very strange. She could always feel that Huayi was very strong when she touched her occasionally, but she didn't think much of it because Huayi usually acted like a green tea, weak and delicate, and only wanted to become Xiao Qingyuan's concubine. Who would have thought that she was actually a super strong freak!

She never imagined that those burly men in Chichun Lane would be no match for a green tea b*tch—Huayi's fighting style didn't involve any skill; she relied purely on her strength.

With such a strong artistic conception and such practicality, how could Chu Yanluo bear to let her follow Shen Wantang?

"Second Miss, isn't this inappropriate? Huayi is now serving the Eldest Miss and is highly valued by her. If she comes back to serve you, won't you feel uncomfortable?"
