Chapter 432: If you can’t stand firmly in the harem, you will fall down unsightly
After hearing this, Nan Yan lowered her head and said hurriedly, "Please forgive me, Queen."
“…”
"That snuff bottle is a New Year tribute, given by the Emperor to the concubines in the harem. I'm just a humble court lady, how could I possibly have such a thing?"
“…”
"Just now, I was just making up a story to get Du Siyao to tell me the truth."
After hearing this, Wu Wan and the others looked at each other.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - this girl is too cunning.
Just now, from the time she saw what was in the box, to Xia Yunting's counterattack, to her "nonsense", it was only a short period of time, and she was able to come up with such a method to induce Du Siyao to tell the truth herself.
A faint smile appeared on Xu Miaoyin's face.
"Well," she said, "you're also trying to find out the truth. I won't blame you for this."
As she spoke, she glanced at the fragments in the box again and said calmly, "If I had known earlier, I would have given you this snuff bottle as a reward. I'm afraid it's well deserved."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned.
Xu Miaoyin waved her sleeves, turned around and walked out.
Wu Wan and the others did not stay any longer and followed him.
Nan Yan slowly stood up from the ground and was about to walk out, but when she reached the door, she stopped and turned to look at Xia Yunting who was standing aside.
Her eyes were calm, but cold.
The biting coldness suddenly pierced Xia Yunting's body. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she almost fell down.
Fortunately, Fulan supported her from behind.
"Zhaoyi, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
Xia Yunting was speechless, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't even dare to look up at Nan Yan.
She trembled and said, "You, why are you looking at me?"
“…”
Nan Yan remained calm and just looked at her deeply again.
This glance seemed to be saying goodbye.
Then, she said calmly, "Zhaoyi, stand still."
“…”
"If you can't stand firm in the harem, you'll fall down unsightly."
Her words were like ice needles, piercing straight into Xia Yunting's heart. She raised her head and looked at Nan Yan with eyes that seemed to be quenched by ice. Her face turned even paler and she couldn't even speak.
Nan Yan turned and left.
Listening to her footsteps fading away, Xia Yunting was shaking all over.
There was no quarrel, no brains, but it was obvious that the relationship had been torn apart.
Si Nanyan already understood.
And she will—
Fu Lan whispered beside Xia Yunting, "Zhaoyi, don't be afraid. This time, Zhaoyi helped Concubine Kang. Concubine Kang will definitely find a way to reuse Zhaoyi. Si Nanyan is just a slave."
This sentence gave her a shot of confidence.
Xia Yunting took a deep breath and said, "Not bad."
“…”
"She is nothing but a slave."
“…”
"I just don't believe I can't beat her!"

Not long after returning to the Ye Ting, Ran Xiaoyu came back limping.
After receiving twenty strokes of the cane, although her body was still strong, her buttocks and thighs were swollen. Nan Yan felt so distressed that her eyes turned red. She hurriedly helped her lie down on the bed and gave her a hot compress.
He whispered, "Does it still hurt?"
"Nothing."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "It will be fine after a while, don't worry."
In fact, Nan Yan had been beaten with the cane before, and twenty strokes of the cane was considered a very light punishment. However, when he thought that she was implicated because of him, his heart still felt as painful as a knife.
Ran Xiaoyu looked up at her and said, "These twenty strokes of the cane are worth it in exchange for seeing one person clearly."
