The concubine was stunned by these words, her eyes filled with panic, and she was completely at a loss.
Faced with the menacing Zhuge Yi, the concubine Shen Ruyi was terrified.
Since following Zhuge Yi, her life has been miserable. Zhuge Yi's wife, Wang, has always targeted her, and she lives worse than a maid.
The second prince had promised her that if she reported Zhuge Yi, he would buy her a residence in the capital.
The concubine wanted to escape this kind of life, so she wrote the letter of denunciation.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Yi found out.
Knowing she could no longer hide it, Shen Ruyi knelt down before Zhuge Yi.
"Master, please understand my predicament. I put on a brave face in front of you every day, but you don't know how much I suffer behind your back."
Zhuge Yi flung his hand away, but the anger in his eyes did not seem to subside.
"You traitor! You've ruined my entire Zhuge family. Now disaster is imminent. Even if you give your life, you can't bring peace to the whole family."
Shen Ruyi felt guilty, but she still put on a tearful act.
“My wife is constantly putting me down and cutting my monthly mortgage payments. Now I can’t even afford a decent piece of clothing.”
“I don’t want to frame you, sir, but the Second Prince promised me that as long as I do as he says, he will guarantee your safety. He remembers that promise, right?”
"Not only that, the Second Prince will also give me a residence in the capital. I was blinded by greed and did something foolish. My lord, please calm down! I beg you, forgive me this time!"
After listening to what Shen Ruyi said, Zhuge Yi couldn't help but think of everything Feng Mo Ran had told him.
Despite his strong willpower as an official of the imperial court, he was still powerless against Feng Mo Ran.
If I, as a man, can act this way, then what about Shen Ruyi in the mansion?
She was just a weak woman, and when faced with Feng Moran, she probably only had one choice: to obey him.
Zhuge Yi sighed deeply, looking dejectedly at Shen Ruyi in front of him.
How could he not know that all of this was a deliberate arrangement by the Second Prince? He first lured Shen Ruyi into the trap, and then set a scheme to drag him into it.
In other words, Feng Mo Ran must have been eyeing him for a long time.
Such things hadn't happened before because the time wasn't right. Now that the time is ripe, Feng Mo Ran certainly won't give up on the efforts she's made before.
Now, the entire Zhuge family is in turmoil. Thinking that he might die without a burial place in the future, Zhuge Yi turned away in a huff.
"From this day forward, I never want to see your face again. Get out of here!"
Zhuge Yi's words echoed in her ears, and Shen Ruyi knelt on the ground, completely panicked.
Now, all Shen Ruyi can do is keep shouting.
"Master...Master..."
Even so, Zhuge Yi did not turn back.
Zhuge Yi now wishes he could kill Shen Ruyi, but even if he killed this woman, he would still have to help Feng Mo Ran do things.
There really are no other options now.
Thinking of the hardships Shen Ruyi had endured alongside him, Zhuge Yi simply stopped paying attention to her.
With the entire Zhuge family in turmoil, how could he possibly have the mind to pay attention to this woman?
...
The Prime Minister's Residence.
That day, Prime Minister Shen summoned Zhang Tianlin to his presence.
