Chapter 235 Too Much Involvement
Chapter 235 Too Much Involvement
Then she staggered out of the pavilion and ran towards the back mountain.
Su Yue sent a servant to follow secretly, and then turned around and asked Xie Xiulin, who was collapsed on the ground with tears streaming down her face, "What about her? How should we deal with her?"
Xie Xiulin was trembling all over, looking at Cui Rongrong with a desperate and pleading look.
"Tied."
Cui Rongrong's order was cold and decisive.
A "Yes!"
The sound resounded through the air, and the servant acted quickly, tied up Xie Xiulin, sealed her mouth, and then threw her into a hidden bush.
On the other side, the little nun staggered all the way to the pavilion on the back mountain. There, Xie Xiuyun was leisurely enjoying the breeze with an impatient look on her face, but when she saw the little nun coming, she immediately smiled.
"Is it done? How is it going?"
Xie Xiuyun asked impatiently.
The little nun nodded desperately, her eyes full of nervousness and anticipation, "It's done, everything is done according to your instructions! I have asked people to watch, do you want to go and see the excitement yourself?"
Xie Xiuyun stood up, her smile twisted, "Of course I have to go. Cui Rong has fallen to this point, how can I miss the opportunity to see it with my own eyes?"
Thinking that after today, Cui Rongrong would become Master Yuan's concubine, and her hidden property would naturally come into the hands of her third room, Xie Xiuyun couldn't help but feel in a good mood. She fanned herself and walked towards the meditation room with joy.
However, when she arrived outside the meditation room, she found that the surroundings were unusually quiet. An ominous premonition quietly arose, "Why hasn't anyone come yet? What is going on?"
The little nun's brows revealed a subtle nervousness, and her voice was so thin and soft that even she herself did not believe the truth of what she said: "Maybe because of the delay on the road, we should be here soon. But... Miss Cui Rongrong has been taken to the inner courtyard by Master Yuan first, and now..."
Hearing this, Xie Xiuyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she wondered in her heart, could it be that at this moment Cui Rong was being bullied by that old pervert Yuan Zhao?
Normally, she shouldn't have peeped into such a disgusting scene, but when she thought about the humiliation of Cui Rong, and her hatred for Cui Rong that was deep in her bones, she could not suppress her twisted desire to witness her misfortune with her own eyes.
Just as Xie Xiuyun quietly approached the window, intending to find out what was going on, she was suddenly hit by a heavy stick from behind, causing her to groan. She instantly lost the strength to stand and collapsed to the ground.
A servant quietly withdrew the stick in his hand, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"What should we do now?"
The servant asked in a low voice.
At this time, a person slowly stepped out from behind the bushes. It was Cui Rongrong. She looked calm and ordered, "Drag her into the house."
As Xie Xiuyun was thrown into the room roughly, Cui Rongrong just stepped into the room and noticed something wrong in the air.
She turned around and saw that what was burning in the incense burner on the table was a stick of green incense, a kind of aphrodisiac incense that could stimulate the most primitive desires in human nature.
Without thinking, she picked up the emerald green scented leaf and stuffed it directly into Yuan Zhaoyin's slightly open mouth while he was unconscious.
Afterwards, she led her maid Su Yue and others and calmly left the Zen room filled with a strange atmosphere.
In the Zen room, the silence lasted only for a moment before being broken by a commotion.
Yuan Zhao's body, which was originally in a coma, suddenly felt an unprecedented heat under the effect of Cuiqingxiang, and his consciousness gradually returned accompanied by pain.
The effect of the spice was too strong. He was in a daze and only felt someone next to him. Without thinking too much, he instinctively pressed the person next to him under him.
Then, from the Zen room came the creaking sound of the bed frame unable to bear the weight, as well as an almost inaudible groan, interweaving into an ambiguous sound that made one blush and have one's heart beat faster.
When Cui Rong heard the noise outside, she turned around and left without stopping.
Ever since she entered the Xie Mansion, she has been constantly ostracized and warned by the Third Lady and Xie Xiuyun. Just because of her humble background, she was asked to submit.
She had always been careful in her words and actions, and had always compromised, but in return she received even more ruthless calculations and bullying from them.
In this case, let them experience for once what true humility and despair are.
Not long after Cui Rong left, a group of people rushed into the Zen room like wolves and tigers and captured the adulterous couple on the spot.
In just half a day, the scandal of Xie Xiuyun and Yuan Zhao's affair spread rapidly in Yanjing City like wildfire, becoming a topic that everyone knew about in the streets and alleys.
Even the customers who came to the pharmacy to buy medicine could not help but whisper to each other about the shameful affair between the noble lady of the Song family and the old man.
Maid Su Yue heard about this and felt uneasy. She asked Cui Rong carefully, "Miss, this matter involves the reputation of the Song family and has caused a lot of uproar. Will the Song family be angry with us because of this?"
Cui Rongrong was buried in the account book, without looking up, and said calmly: "What does this have to do with me? I just accompanied Xie Xiulin to the temple to copy scriptures, and I didn't even meet Xie Xiuyun. Yuan Zhao's affairs were not something I could arrange. I have nothing to do with the whole thing."
"That's true. This is their own fault! It would be fine if Miss could clear herself of the issue."
Cui Rong's eyes wandered between the account pages. Although she had tried her best to distance herself from the matter to the outside world, she knew in her heart that there would always be some people who would not let her go easily.
As night fell and the shop was about to close, a luxuriously decorated black carved carriage suddenly stopped outside the door, and the person who stepped down from the carriage was Song Yanyi.
When she saw him, Cui Rong's heart was slightly shocked. He was obviously not a person who could be easily fooled.
"How did you get here?"
She asked calmly.
"Why are you here? Don't you know?"
His dark eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, flashing with a deep light.
Cui Rongrong shook her head, looking somewhat innocent: "I really don't know."
"Wasn't Xie Xiuyun's matter your doing?"
Cui Rong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that he would find out about her so quickly.
"What does this have to do with me? I did go to Jingxin Temple just to accompany Xiulin to copy scriptures. After I came down the mountain, I learned that Xie Xiuyun and Yuan Zhao had a secret meeting on the mountain and were caught. I was also confused."
She met his gaze frankly, without any evasion in her eyes.
Song Yanyi looked into her sincere eyes, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him.
His eyes became somewhat gloomy. It turned out that she had deceived him in the same way before.
Feeling his gaze following her like a shadow, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling. It seemed that he was really angry because the Song family's reputation was damaged.
"How can I have such ability to arrange Yuan Zhao and control Xie Xiuyun? You overestimate me."
She glanced at him sideways, waiting for his reaction.
But he still stared at her, as if waiting for more explanations from her.
Cui Rong frowned, not understanding why he was so persistent.
