I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 637 - 243: The Clever Chen Family’s Big Belly! Chen Mo Wants to Redeem Yu’er?

"You mean, you and Households Commander Li together..."

Listening to Shen Zhixia stumbling over her words for a long time, Ling Ningzhi finally caught the main point, and said with a surprised expression: "I was wondering why you left without a word... the three of you actually did such a thing at the Sky Scale Guard Station?!"

"This, this is just too absurd!"

Shen Zhixia’s cheeks flushed, she rubbed her eyes and sobbed, "No, it was Mrs. Yan who drugged the pastries. Both I and Households Commander Li ate a whole box, so the situation got a bit out of control... But I didn’t do anything with my brother, it was Households Commander Li..."

Thinking back to that time, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Once the drug took effect, their actions began to be uncontrollable. They were almost caught in broad daylight, being carried into the inner hall by Chen Mo.

At that time, Shen Zhixia still had some rationality left. Worried that Li Yuan would be embarrassed, she, out of a sense of responsibility as the Chen Family’s wife, decided to set an example first.

But before she could respond, Li Yuan had already taken the initiative, directly pushed Chen Mo down, and turned to her saying: "Watch closely, Miss Shen, I’ll only demonstrate this once..."

And then...

Shen Zhixia bit her lip, threw herself into Ling Ningzhi’s arms, and whimpered, "I’m such a fool. I thought Households Commander Li and my brother were just kissing... but they’d already done everything long ago!"

"..."

My silly sister, you just found out...

Ling Ningzhi reached out and patted her back, comforting her: "Good things are worth waiting for. As Chen Mo’s legitimate fiancée, you should wait until you officially get married to consummate the relationship, to show how much he values you... unlike us... ahem, unlike those without status, for whom it naturally doesn’t matter."

Shen Zhixia felt a little better after hearing this, wiped her tears, and said, "You can’t say it like that. Households Commander Li is a pretty good person. I just never expected that she and my brother would develop so quickly."

Ling Ningzhi sighed.

This girl is good in every way, just too soft-hearted. After witnessing such a thing, she’s still speaking up for Li Yuan.

But then again, if she weren’t soft-hearted, she wouldn’t have agreed to be with Chen Mo, they’d probably have to keep it a secret for a lifetime...

"So, you really didn’t do anything with Chen Mo?" Ling Ningzhi asked.

Shen Zhixia shook her head, somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, I almost couldn’t hold back at the time, but my brother said that such a beautiful moment should be savored and not rushed..."

Ling Ningzhi’s mouth twitched.

Since when did Chen Mo have such a conscience?

She’s sure that guy is absolutely just afraid that afterward, He Yuzhi will break his leg!

"Wait," Ling Ningzhi thought of something and questioned, "If that’s the case, how did you detoxify?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhixia’s expression froze, stammering, "That’s not important..."

Seeing this, Ling Ningzhi became even more curious, and just as she was about to ask further, Shen Zhixia diverted the topic, pouting: "Ms. Gu, Miss Yu’er, and Households Commander Li, they’ve all done that sort of thing with my brother..."

"I was obviously the first to arrive, but I ended up being the last one..."

"Fortunately, the Daoist was with me..."

"Daoist, you wouldn’t lie to me, right?"

Ling Ningzhi’s eyes were somewhat wandering, "Of course not."

"That’s good, we’re going to be lifelong good sisters." Shen Zhixia quickly regained her spirits, placing her hands on her hips, she said, "But from this, I’ve gained something. Clever me, I discovered a fatal weakness of my brother..."

"Next time if he dares to bully us, we’ll deal with him like this..."

She started sharing her insights with Ling Ningzhi.

Ling Ningzhi’s mouth twitched, but she couldn’t say much, so she could only put on a serious face and listen to the teachings of the Chen Family’s wife...

...

...

Prince Yu Mansion.

Inside the study, the bookshelf moved aside, and the wall rippled like water as Chu Heng’s figure slowly emerged.

He was dressed in a brocade robe, his face pale, his left eye recovered as usual, but upon closer inspection, one could still see the hidden blood-red color in his pupil.

"Princely Heir, is your health better?" the old butler asked with concern.

Chu Heng wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief and said flatly, "About seventy percent recovered. The quality of these mortals’ blood is still lacking a bit."

"By the way, aren’t there many sect disciples in the city? Capture a few over, and I feel I could improve a few more points."

He still remembered that during the conflict at the Imperial Music Bureau with Chen Mo, some sect disciples also joined in, hitting and kicking him...

"These muddy-footed people, they’ll pay the price sooner or later!" Chu Heng’s eyes were cold.

The old butler said, "Recently, there’s been a shift in the court’s direction. Her Majesty the Empress wants to reopen the Barbarian Slave Case and the Zhou Family Case. It’s hard to say how many eyes in the Capital City are watching us, so we must be careful..."

Chu Heng glanced at him sideways, coldly saying, "I had you deal with Chen Mo, yet you can’t get it done. Now you’re making excuses not to capture some martial artists. Why am I even keeping you, this useless person?"

The old butler’s face darkened.

Though his status was that of a mansion slave, he was nonetheless a Heavenly Human Realm Grandmaster. The Princely Heir had always treated him with courtesy, but now it seemed he had changed entirely.

"It seems this Blood Pearl has greatly affected his nature. The Princely Heir’s character is becoming increasingly erratic."

The old butler didn’t say much and lowered his head, responding, "Understood, the old servant will handle it shortly."

"That’s more like it."

Chu Heng sat down leisurely in the chair, asked, "Any movement from Chen Mo’s side?"

The old butler replied, "Currently, both cases are handled by Chen Mo. He has already captured Yan Linghu and thrown him into the Imperial Prison. His ultimate goal is certainly to deal with us. Yan Linghu is soft-boned; I fear he’s already confessed."
