Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 985

985 Fate (5)

Luo Tan seemed to have found it especially satisfying to share this secret. She continued, “It doesn’t sound like a big deal, right? But she’s been pampered since she was young. Cleaning an entire mountain of flowers is not something a weak willed person can do. She immediately started working for the entire night. I’m afraid you people have never even seen fertilizer with animal waste in it. Why should her efforts go to waste simply because that pair of siblings beat her to it?” Luo Tan looked at Xie Jingxing and said, “It’s true that the Ye siblings saved you, but my little cousin also saved you.”

“They said that she’s not by your side, but go and ask the servants in your mansion. Before she left the mansion, how many days did she stay by your bed? Did she leave? Did she take care of you day and night? After all she has done for you, is she still not as good as the siblings of the Ye family?”

“Now that my little cousin is in such a state, I feel bad for her. When Prince Rui married her from Ming Qi to the Daliang Dynasty, what did you promise? However, you can’t even give her your trust. Although she is not perfect, her sincerity is unquestionable!”

After Luo Tan finished speaking, her face was red, and she felt much better. She looked at Xie Jingxing’s expression. He was neither sad nor happy, and his expression was calm. However, the calmer he was, the more terrifying he made people feel. It was as if there was an endless storm brewing under the calmness.

“Are you done?” he asked slowly.

His tone was so cold that Luo Tan couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

Gao Yang quickly stood up and said, “Now is not the time to pursue this matter. The most important thing now is to think about how to wake the two of them up.”

Xie Jingxing sneered. “That’s simple. Just kidnap the Ye siblings.”

Ji Yushu was stunned. “Third Brother, what do you want to do?”

“Since she’s acting abnormally because of the Ye siblings, there must be something wrong with them. Regardless of whether they were behind it or not, there’s no reason to let them off.” Xie Jingxing turned around and was about to leave when he was grabbed by Gao Yang who said, “No! They’re no longer powerless. They are now the children of the Ye family. What will happen if the Ye family finds out?”

“Let go,” Xie Jingxing said coldly.

“Calm down!” Gao Yang said, “If Princess Consort really hates the Ye siblings, she must have come up with a plan to deal with them. If you do something rashly, you’ll ruin her plan.”

“That’s right, Third Brother.” Ji Yushu chimed in, “The Ye family is not a small family in Long Ye. If you do this, I’m afraid you’ll cause trouble for His Majesty.”

“She can tolerate them, but I can’t.” Xie Jingxing said, “The Ye family has crossed the line.”

“Third Brother…” Ji Yushu was about to persuade him when Ba Jiao’s voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard. The girl, who had always been smiling, looked a little flustered as she said, “Master, someone is here!”

Tie Yi frowned slightly, as if he was displeased with Ba Jiao’s loss of composure. He asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s… the Daoist priest we saw at Phoenix Head Village that day,” Ba Jiao said hesitantly.

“What?” Luo Tan widened her eyes.

Ji Yushu, who was holding Xie Jingxing’s sleeve, couldn’t help but let go and look at Ba Jiao. “Daoist priest?”

Ba Jiao nodded.

In the hall, the strange Daoist priest in tattered clothes was touching this and looking at that, his eyes filled with curiosity, as if this was the first time he had entered a mansion. Hui Xiang and Cong Yang stood at the side awkwardly.
