Chapter 23 Reversal
Everyone looked in the direction of the scream.
There was already a commotion over there.
In the midst of the commotion, Wen Yao grabbed her own neck with her hands and pulled it up, as if she wanted to hang herself up.
She strangled herself until she couldn't breathe. Her face turned red and her tongue stuck out. She looked like a hanged ghost and was really trying to strangle herself to death.
Liu was so anxious that she tried to pull Wen Yao's hand hard, but Wen Yao was very strong and Liu couldn't pry it open.
The ladies and noble girls nearby were in a mess, all frightened by Wen Yao's sudden hideous look.
Everyone was in chaos and no one came forward to help.
It was only then that the servant nearby reacted and pried open Wen Yao's hands that were pinching her neck.
It took four or five servants to subdue Wen Yao.
A lady from a noble family being held in public by so many servants would ruin her reputation if not destroyed.
After Wen Yao's hands that were pinching her neck were pried open, she continued to scream and shout. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, completely different from the soft and gentle voice she usually spoke.
She yelled, "Second Miss, spare me, Second Miss, spare me. I really listened to you and poisoned the eldest lady. It's the eldest lady who is lucky enough to survive. Don't kill me, don't hang me, I won't tell anyone a thing!"
"Second Miss, please spare my life. I know I was wrong--!!"
Her screams were shrill and her words were strange, as if she was possessed by a ghost.
Let's combine this with what Liu said before, that the maid that Wen Yao gave as a dowry to Wen Ling was hanged...
The lady who was full of justice and had just spoken up for Wen Yaoming suddenly reacted.
Her face changed drastically, and she said bluntly, "Oh my God, the evil spirit that haunted the second daughter of the Wen family didn't ask her to help redress her grievances and uphold justice, but came to seek revenge on her!"
"Yes, it must be because the Second Miss Wen and Madam Wen just confused right and wrong, and she was unhappy when she heard it, so she is taking advantage of her now!"
Another lady agreed.
After hearing this, the ladies who reacted rushed back.
Liu was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She denied it again and again: "No, no, don't spread rumors. Our Yao'er is just sick. She was scared by the evil spirit a few days ago!"
But this explanation was so weak that no one believed it.
The lady next to the Marquis who had spoken ill of Wen Ling was even more stunned at this time.
She felt her face burning and kept saying, "This...this..."
Wen Yao suddenly lost control and went crazy, turning the originally harmonious birthday party into a complete mess.
When the Marquis's wife heard Liu and Wen Yao talking about Wen Ling outside, she already disliked the mother and daughter.
Without any evidence, they say those specious and misleading words, with the intention of slandering others. Who doesn't think they know it?
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
Now that Wen Yao had disrupted the entire banquet, the Marquis's wife was even more unhappy.
She walked over and gave the servants orders without any courtesy.
"Miss Wen Yao has suddenly fallen ill. Why don't you take her out quickly and let Madam Wen take her home for treatment? If Miss Wen Yao's condition is delayed, who among you can take responsibility?"
The usually gentle lady of the Marquis's Mansion can be quite powerful when she speaks harshly.
These words sound like he's concerned about Wen Yao, but in fact they're just an order to leave.
Liu was very anxious. She secretly hated the Marquis's wife for being so disrespectful to her. After all, Wen Tingyun was going to be the next Minister of Revenue.
At least they should be treated politely, but now they are being kicked out just because of such a small matter!
But Liu had no choice but to take Wen Yao away from here.
Otherwise, if it causes a bigger mess, it would be bad.
When Wen Yao was about to be dragged out of the yard by the servants while screaming and struggling, she suddenly regained consciousness.
Wen Yao was a little confused at first, but when she remembered what she had just done, her face turned pale.
She had no idea why she was like that just now. Now she had only one thought in her mind: it was over. She had embarrassed herself in front of so many people. Everything was really over.
Suddenly, she looked up as if she sensed something, and happened to meet the eyes of Wen Ling who was sitting at the top.
She saw her pointing at her as if she were controlling a puppet.
There was even a ray of light on Wen Ling's fingertips that she had not had time to retract.
At this time, Wen Ling was holding his chin with one hand, looking at her as if he was watching a show, his eyes full of mischievous amusement.
Wen Yao exploded all of a sudden, she felt like a string in her head broke.
She couldn't help but point at Wen Ling and yell, "It's you, Wen Ling, you used evil magic to control me just now, so I lost control, it's all your fault! I saw everything just now!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Wen Ling again.
Under everyone's gaze, Wen Ling honestly spread out his hands.
She didn't finish her words, but her confused expression made everyone think she was innocent.
Someone shook his head and said, "The second young lady of the Wen family is indeed crazy. The Princess of Chen is sitting right there. How could she possibly harm her in front of everyone, and even do something to harm her!"
"Yes, I'm afraid it's hysteria! I heard that this disease is very strange. Some people are stupid when they are young and get better when they grow up, while some people may suddenly get sick when they grow up!"
"Oh my god, if that's the case, then is there something wrong with the Wen family's bloodline? Then those who marry young masters and young ladies from their family should be careful..."
There is endless discussion about this.
Wen Ling said seriously: "Sister, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. The fact that you just shouted those words shows that you have something wrong in your heart. Why are you blaming me?"
Gao Zhi is gone, but the cause and effect of Wen Yao killing Gao Zhi still exists.
With a little bit of magic, Wen Yao can put herself in Gao Zhi's perspective and feel the despair that Gao Zhi felt when he was murdered.
So what she said was right. It was Wen Yao who did the bad thing first. Why blame her?
Everything has its consequences, and I am your retribution.
Everyone nodded, and felt that Wen Yao was sick and unreasonable.
Liu saw that the situation was not right and that continuing would only make things worse, so she dragged Wen Yao away.
After Wen Yao left, the chaotic banquet quickly returned to calm.
Everyone was toasting each other, and what had just happened became a topic of conversation.
Wen Ling was still at the banquet, and was the guest of honor of the host family.
Everyone was curious about when she became so close to the wife of Marquis Pingyang, but they would not discuss her directly in front of her at the banquet.
The person discussed more was Wen Yao who had just left.
Gu Chenran's eyes were on Wen Ling the whole time, so naturally he could see clearly how Wen Ling used magic to play a prank on Wen Yao.
At this moment he was drinking tea calmly, and someone was talking to him.
The first thing he said was, "Huh? How do you know that my princess is so kind and powerful?"
The person who took the initiative to speak: "..."
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, eh?
