Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 224: Chapter 216: Old Flames Rekindled?

”No wonder that ugly old hag didn’t come today; turns out she was kicked out.”

”She finally realized she doesn’t belong in the Imperial City; a bit smarter than before.”

”Exactly, a fake princess with no blood ties - only Your Majesty and Princess Qingli have a kind heart to give her some face out of old affection. Does she really think she’s something?”

”Staying in the palace would only be laughable.”

The group of Beastmen under Yun Han were causing a commotion. But when they spotted the white-clad female walking not far ahead, they quickly quieted down, eyes filled with amazement.

Shen Qingli’s face was like a peach blossom, her beautiful eyes glancing about. She wore only a simple white dress, yet it perfectly accentuated her graceful and stunning figure, walking elegantly like a lotus blooming at each step.

The passersby around were all entranced.

Especially the young male beasts, who were utterly infatuated, reluctant to even blink.

”Qingli!” Yun Han’s face was tender and affectionate as he quickly stepped forward, tightly embracing the woman in his arms, expressing his deepest longing!

”How have you been in my absence?” he asked softly.

”Not well, not well at all. You can’t imagine how worried I’ve been these days, unable to eat or sleep peacefully, fearing you might encounter an accident over there.” Shen Qingli knew well how to capture a man’s heart; she lightly hit his chest, her watery eyes brimming with tears, pitifully beautiful.

It practically melted a man’s heart.

Yun Han hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes, feeling heartbroken, secretly sighing: How could there be such a gentle and considerate female in this world?

”What is there to worry about? It’s you, instead, who seem to have grown haggard, your face also thinner.”

Shen Qingli shook her head, ”I’ve just been a bit overworked recently, and somewhat troubled.”

”What troubles you? Let me resolve them for you.” Yun Han’s expression suddenly turned cold.

But Shen Qingli hesitated and didn’t speak.

The noble female beside her was a Fox Clan beauty.

She greedily glanced at Yun Han, stepped forward, assuming a righteous stance for her good sister, angrily speaking, ”It’s all because of Shen Tang!”

”Young Master Yun, you wouldn’t believe how arrogant and infuriating Shen Tang has been since her return!”

”That bitch not only ruined the event Qingli had carefully prepared, but she also embarrassed Her Highness everywhere, stealing her spotlight, and even aiming to compete with Qingli for the heir position!”

”Shen Qingli has suffered so much this time, even cried heavily, but you weren’t here to uphold justice for her.”

Yun Han’s face darkened upon hearing this, clenching his fists, a cold aura rampant all over!

Seeing Yun Han upset, Shen Qingli quickly grabbed his arm and reassured him, shaking her head, ”Don’t blame Sister Tangtang, it was the Royal Family who wronged her back then. Besides, she’s now a legitimate Empire Princess; this is all rightfully hers.”

”Her? Competent to challenge you?” Yun Han’s voice was low and dangerous, sneering repeatedly, ”After the atrocious deeds she committed back then, sparing her from a death sentence was already merciful. And now she dares to return for provocation? Simply ignorant of her fate!”

”Don’t say that about her...” Shen Qingli, looking frightened, had a conflict-ridden expression.

Yun Han promptly restrained his intimidating aura, extending his rough, slender fingers, tenderly wiping the tears from her eyes, frowning and saying, ”You’re just too gentle and kind, there’s no need to show people like her kindness, it’ll only make her more brazen!”

Back then, he had long seen what kind of rubbish that foolish ugly woman was. He tore up the marriage contract on the spot, humiliating her thoroughly afterward, Shen Tang never dared approach him again.

Unfortunately, Qingli’s temperament was too gentle and kind, giving that bitch the chance to overstep her bounds.

Initially, Yun Han was moved by Shen Xu’s words, thinking perhaps Shen Tang had truly changed.

Now it seems, she’s even more disgusting than before!

Yun Han wrapped his big hand around Shen Qingli’s nape, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, gently comforting her, ”Don’t worry, now that I’m back, I’ll never let you suffer this kind of grievance again!”

”Brother Yun Han, you’re so good.” Shen Qingli’s beautiful eyes reddened and teary, like a harmless rabbit, even more pitiable.

Yun Han regretted coming back too late, he stroked her hair, ”Alright, don’t worry about those irrelevant people, your birthday is approaching; I brought you a gift.”

Shen Qingli broke into a smile, holding his arm, looking up at him through shining eyes, ”What gift is it?”

Seeing her lovely face, Yun Han’s heart softened completely, he smiled lightly, ”You’ll know by then. Now, we have more urgent matters to attend to.”

Shen Qingli’s cheeks flushed, blinking in confusion, ”Is Brother Yun Han busy with something? Perhaps I shouldn’t disturb you.”

”Still calling me brother?” Yun Han thought, how could she be so pure and adorable; he flicked her forehead, making her softly exclaim, ”I’ve returned this time to personally prepare the dowry for our union; now I’ve reached the Ninth Rank, I can confidently promise to protect you for life.”

”It’s time to prepare for the wedding, I’ve also prepared gifts for our parents, accompany me to the palace to pay a visit.”

The parents referred to here are naturally the Emperor and Empress.

Shen Qingli beamed with joy, her face full of happiness, ”Alright.”

The two proceeded to the palace together.

The people passing by who witnessed this couldn’t help but praise the beautiful pair.

This is a match made in heaven!

Shen Tang and her Beast Husband returned to the Imperial City several days later.

This time upon arrival, she noticeably sensed the atmosphere in the city, unlike her last visit.

Lanterns and decorations were all over, with red silk hanging everywhere, seemingly preparing for some grand celebration.

She noticed not far the giant screen in the mall broadcasting the happy news, a hint of realization flashed across her face.

On an auspicious date one month later, Empire Princess Shen Qingli and Young Master Yun would hold their wedding.

Yun Han returned?

Shen Tang furrowed her brows, her heart suddenly rising with an indescribable pain, as if countless needles were piercing her heart, making it ache so much she almost couldn’t breathe.

She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, suppressing this unusual emotion.

She knew this was the remaining emotion of the original host at play.

The original host must have adored Yun Han deeply, even her soul wasn’t present, still heartbroken over him.

”Feeling unwell?” Xiao Jin noticed her complexion turning pale for a moment, hurriedly approached, touching her forehead, face, and hands.

Very cold!

Shen Tang withdrew her hand, shaking her head, ”Nothing, just... not in a very good mood.”

Shen Li followed her gaze towards the mall screen, startling for a moment, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

He softly said, ”That Young Master Yun has returned.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the five Beast Husbands present varied, their hearts sinking.

Before marrying Shen Tang, who among them hadn’t heard of her obsession and madness over Young Master Yun? As the Empire’s prospective heir of the time, she publicly declared before the whole Empire she would only marry him as her main husband.

After being rejected, she swiftly chose Beast Husbands seemingly as an act of defiance.

All of the chosen Beast Husbands bore some resemblance to him.

For instance: Back then, when she bought Xue Yinzhou from the slave market, aside from his handsome human-like face, it was also because of his silver short hair, which was very similar to Yun Han’s.

During the celebration banquet, she fell in love at first sight with then Major General Xiao Jin only because she saw a bit of similar aura to Yun Han in him.

Frankly, they were stand-ins for Yun Han.

Now with Yun Han, the real deal returned, the two immediately sensed a crisis! Fearing old feelings might rekindle!
