Shen Ning'er realized what she had done belatedly. Her face turned pale. She grabbed Qiu Changfeng's arm and cried, "How could he be the wife of Chen Houzhu? What should I do? If the city lord finds out, he will skin me alive!"
She blamed Qiu Changfeng again: "It's all your fault! Why didn't you tell me earlier! If you had told me earlier, would I be so ignorant...Qiu Changfeng, are you trying to kill me on purpose?!"
Shen Ning'er transferred all her anger to Qiu Changfeng and barged into him with questions.
The look she gave Qiu Changfeng was filled with resentment, making her originally pretty facial features look hideous and distorted.
Qiu Changfeng was thinking quickly about ways to remedy the situation in his mind, but he was suddenly scolded by Shen Ning'er. He was stunned and couldn't understand how this matter could be blamed on him.
Looking at Shen Ning'er's hideous face eroded by resentment, Qiu Changfeng was even more dazed. He felt that the woman in front of him, who exuded resentment all over her body, was completely different from the woman in his mind.
Fortunately, Shen Ning'er changed her expression at this time, shaking Qiu Changfeng's arm, crying: "Brother Changfeng, please don't be silent, please give me some advice, what should I do... Ning'er wants to be with Brother Changfeng for the rest of my life, Ning'er can't bear to leave Brother Changfeng, Ning'er doesn't want to die!"
At this time, Shen Ning'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked as pitiful as a delicate flower in the rain, making people feel pity for her.
The suspicion that had just risen in Qiu Changfeng's mind collapsed in an instant, and he hurriedly comforted Shen Ning'er: "Ning'er, don't be afraid, Brother Changfeng has come up with a solution!"
"Really? What's the solution? Brother Changfeng, please tell me quickly! I'm almost dying of anxiety!"
Just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, Shen Ning'er's eyes suddenly burst into a ray of hope.
There was a rare hint of dependence in her eyes as she looked at Qiu Changfeng.
Her dependence on him instantly made Qiu Changfeng's manly heart swell. He put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear:
"I've already made inquiries outside. I heard that the City Lord's wife is very aloof and disdainful of everything. She is even more disdainful of explaining these unfounded accusations. Why don't we just make the best of it and directly attribute the incident of you accidentally bumping into her to the spy he has hidden in the room..."
At this moment, on the other side, Shen Qiqi paced back and forth in the room somewhat restlessly. Seeing that the soles of her shoes were about to be worn thin, Xie Beiming was amused. He put his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. He pinched her little nose lovingly and comforted her softly:
"Okay, stop grinding! If you keep grinding, the floor tiles here will be worn off by you."
“But I’m worried. Master, a person like him, doesn’t look like he can act well… What if he can’t hold Shen Ning’er back?”
Xie Beiming shook his head: "No. Master doesn't need to act out anything deliberately, he just needs to act well."
"Play his role well?" Shen Qiqi was puzzled.
Xie Beiming nodded: "Yes, play himself well. Although the master is naturally kind-hearted, he also hates evil and never shows mercy to those with ulterior motives."
Shen Qiqi felt relieved when she heard what he said.
Wu Qingchen had personally witnessed Shen Ning'er's act of sacrificing human lives. Based on this alone, Shen Ning'er had been labeled as a person with ulterior motives.
What's more, Shen Ning'er also committed crimes such as harming the people, poisoning her own father, harming her fellow disciples... and so on. None of them could be tolerated by Wu Qingchen.
Well, in such a situation, Wu Qingchen doesn't need to act deliberately, his attitude towards Shen Ning'er must be full of disgust and disdain.
However, Shen Ning'er is proud and can't tolerate being despised like this. As long as there is a dispute between the two sides and Wu Qingchen reveals his identity, Shen Ning'er will definitely panic and then try to make amends.
How to remedy it?
According to Shen Ning'er's usual method of shifting the blame, she must have taken the opportunity to push the matter of her and Xie Beiming being spies out to blame.
I have to say, Shen Qiqi's truth is revealed.
However, what Shen Qiqi never expected was that this time the method of diverting the blame did not come from Shen Ning'er, but from Qiu Changfeng.
Moreover, both parties skipped the process of arguing and revealing their identities and went straight into the incident of diverting trouble.
Not to mention Shen Qiqi, Wu Qingchen was also surprised.
He kindly reminded Shen Ning'er, but not only did he not get a good result, he was also humiliated by Shen Ning'er. He simply didn't bother to care about her life or death, and just silently reviewed the second paragraph of the script in his mind, waiting for Yelu Mo Ran to hear the noise and come out to check so that he could clear his throat and start singing.
As a result, Shen Ning'er actually skipped the second part of the play and jumped directly into the third part to sing.
Wu Qingchen, who had not yet had time to review the third paragraph of the script, was stunned.
Shen Ning'er took his stunned look as a sign of guilt, and secretly thanked herself for rescuing him in time.
Just as she was persuading Wu Qingchen, Yelu Moran opened the door and came out. He was leaning against the door frame, looking at them with a gloomy expression.
The pressure that was so strong that it made one's bones scream was like a sharp knife against the throat, making Shen Ning'er dare not relax even a little. She lowered her posture into the dust and continued to persuade Wu Qingchen earnestly:
"Madam is kind-hearted and simple-minded. She must have been deceived by those two human spies. That's why she unknowingly brought them into the City Lord's Mansion as her benefactors."
Wu Qingchen, who was quickly rehearsing the third paragraph of the script in his mind:... Very good, very good, he can finally take over the role!
Wu Qingchen immediately flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Yelü Mo Ran, come out here."
The sudden shout made Shen Ning'er stunned. Her first reaction was that she was so bold that the city lord's wife dared to call the city lord by his name!
The second reaction was that it was great, she had taken the bait. The City Lord’s wife knew her mistake but refused to change and was still so arrogant. This would definitely anger the City Lord!
Her chance!
She had no idea that she had fallen into a trap set by others long ago, and her opportunity was also someone else's opportunity.
At the end of the corridor, Yelu Moyan was leaning against the doorstep and watching the play. Suddenly, he heard Wu Qingchen calling his name. He stood up straight in an instant, and the next moment he stood obediently in front of Wu Qingchen.
“…Qingchen, you’re here.”
Yelu Moran, the giant monster that was arrogant and domineering in front of everyone and didn't know what fear was, now stood in front of Wu Qingchen with his hands hanging down in a well-behaved manner.
Realizing that he was standing too close, Wu Qingchen frowned unhappily and quickly took a few steps back.
It looked so obedient and honest, with an obviously flattering attitude, that it didn't have any of the majesty of a monster at all.
Shen Ning'er's eyes widened in shock, her eyeballs almost falling to the ground.
She knew that Yelu Mo Ran doted on his wife dearly, but she had never heard that Yelu Mo Ran was also dominated by his wife.
