Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Ruined Reputation

Yun Qianyu’s face immediately darkened and she thought of Xiao Jiuyuan’s conditions, one of which was that she was not allowed to hook up with others. Although Xiao Yechen was her friend, in Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes, this may constitute a hookup.

Although Yun Qianyu was angry, she didn’t want to affect Xiao Yechen.

As such, she urged Xiao Yechen, “You should go.”

Xiao Yechen immediately nodded, “Alright, I’ll be going. I’ll help you with what you told me.”

The two said goodbye, then Xiao Yechen and Bai Yao went off.

Yun Qianyu returned to Black Bamboo Pavilion with Hua Mei. In the afternoon, Yun Qianyu stayed in and didn’t leave.

In her residence, Yun Qianyu made some poisons from the herbs sent by Xuan Prince. In addition to those used for her own defense, she also made some for Hua Mei.

At present, she and Hua Mei were both weak women. If someone was plotting against her, they were easy targets. With some poison, they would at least be able to put up a fight.

In the evening, in front of Eternal Peace Marquis’s Residence, there was a commotion.

Hai Tang’s elder brother, carrying her corpse in his hands, was crying in front of the gate, shouting to Yun Qianxue for an explanation.

“My sister is just a servant girl. How would she dare commit crimes against the eldest lady? Something is wrong here!”

“My sister has died for someone else’s crime, she has died in vain!”

Hai Tang’s elder brother not only said that Hai Tang was wrongly killed, but also complained about Yun Qianxue’s hypocrisy and insidiousness and about how she was a cruel and inhuman person but pretended to be gentle and kind.

“The most talented woman of Dongli state? Gifted and powerful? Pah! This woman is a snake with beautiful skin!”

As the elder brother of Hai Tang complained, he took the opportunity to pull up Hai Tang’s sleeves. The onlookers soon saw that the arms of Hai Tang were filled with old scars and black bruises.

Everyone there believed what Hai Tang’s brother said and all blamed Yun Qianxue.

Yun Qianxue’s reputation was now in the dumps.

Inside her residence, Yun Qianxue heard the news and immediately went ballistic. She cursed Yun Qianyu and ordered the guards in the mansion to arrest and imprison all of Hai Tang’s family members. ‘I will not forgive them. I must kill them for discrediting me.’

Under the command of Yun Qianxue, the guards arrested all of Hai Tang’s family members, including her parents. As for Hai Tang’s corpse, it was also brought into the residence.

Many suspected that the family members of Hai Tang would not survive.

People now truly believed that Yun Qianxue was just a beautiful snake.

In the middle of the night, Hai Tang’s family members and Hai Tang’s corpse were quietly taken and sent out of the city overnight.

The next day, rumors broke out in the capital. People heard that Hai Tang’s family members had disappeared and that they must have been killed by Yun Qianxue.

“The second young miss of the Yun family is really cruel. She killed her own servant girl, and even killed her parents and brothers.”

“It would be best to stay away from such a vicious woman.”

Overnight, Yun Qianxue’s image in people’s minds had changed from a talented, respectable lady to a good for nothing scum.

Angry with what had happened, Yun Qianxue led several servant girls to the Black Bamboo Pavillion in the morning.
