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

Chapter 228: Chapter 220: You and I Are Both Geniuses, Yet Dragged Down by Deadweight

Given the current situation, Shen Tang will certainly let them go.

Shen Tang’s obsession with Young Master Yun Han had driven her to madness. Despite being a noble princess, she used to humble herself to please the Yun Family.

Lin Yu and the others often mocked Shen Tang in private, saying she fawned over the young master like a dog! Of course, they couldn’t show it now and sincerely apologized, ”As long as we settle this matter privately, everything will be fine. If it really gets to a life-and-death struggle, the young master will surely be angry with you, Your Highness!”

This sentence was a huge threat to Shen Tang, and she would surely comply!

”Threaten me?” Shen Tang let out a short, cold laugh and, under their astonished gaze, directly posted the video on the Light Computer.

Lin Yu and the others were completely shocked, their faces turning ashen and extremely ugly to behold!

”You! How dare you?”

”Are you not afraid that the young master will hate you even more and completely despise you?!”

Shen Tang was already impatient, she dug her ear, not wanting to hear these dogs barking anymore.

She turned her head to Xiu, ”I don’t need to say what’s next, do I?”

”Yes! Without the consent of the female, secretly filming her, according to the Empire’s law, the lightest sentence is five years imprisonment!”

Saying this, Xiu led people to arrest all the beastmen who had secretly filmed Shen Tang.

Lin Yu and the remaining few did not film secretly, but their hands and feet were cold, their hearts tense to the extreme, for fear of being implicated.

But their fear was far from overcoming their shock.

Today’s Shen Tang no longer had the servile posture of flattering and humbling herself as she did in the past. She seemed like a different person, looking at them with cold and emotionless eyes, as if a sharp blade, its icy surface reflecting their pettiness leaving them nowhere to hide.

Shen Tang deleted all the pictures and videos from the Light Computer, discarding them at their feet like trash, and coldly sneered, ”Take your things and get lost. From now on, the Yun Family’s dogs should bark less in front of me!”

”You!”

Lin Yu and the others’ faces were ugly, yet they couldn’t speak, like defeated roosters picking up the Light Computer and hurriedly leaving.

The onlookers dispersed as the drama ended.

Shen Li came over, softly coaxing, ”Xiao Tang’er, calm down, getting angry over those people is not worth it.”

”Ha, I’m not angry at all!”

Shen Li looked at her puffed-up cheeks like a pufferfish, his slender fox-like eyes slightly curved, chuckling, ”Uh-huh~ Not angry, but those scoundrels really made me angry. I’m utterly loyal to you, Xiao Tang’er, yet they dare slander me for cheating. Ah, Xiao Tang must come out with me for a walk~”

Just then, the Light Computer at Shen Tang’s wrist vibrated, it was a message from Lu Xiao.

He had something come up temporarily and had to return to his family for the next few days, saying they shouldn’t wait for him.

Shen Li glimpsed the message and thought for a moment before asking, ”I heard there’s a lantern festival by the moat tonight. Would Xiao Tang like to accompany me there for a stroll?”

Meeting the Yun Family’s minions did put Shen Tang in a bad mood, and she wanted to find a place to relax.

She nodded, ”Okay.”

Shen Li held her hand and left the military department building.

...

Elsewhere, in a resting area of a tall building.

Yun Han was sitting at a booth with a glass of wine, resting, and happened to run into the passing Lu Xiao.

The Yun and Lu families were both meritorious founding families and the left arms of the Imperial Family, both collaborating and competing with each other.

This generation’s future heirs of both families were extraordinarily outstanding, both regarded as the Empire’s two major favoured talents.

Yun Han had always been very focused on Lu Xiao, his rival, wanting to become friends with him.

Unfortunately, the two were not kindred spirits and seldom conversed.

”Congratulations on being reinstated,” Yun Han took the initiative to greet.

Lu Xiao nodded, ”And congratulations to Young Master Yun for marrying your beloved.”

Their polite and distant greetings carried an implicit undertone of tension.

Yun Han narrowed his long, deep black eyes, ostensibly scrutinizing Lu Xiao with detachment yet harshness, finding that this Young Master of the Lu Family, whom he had always regarded as a competitor, had only just advanced to the Eighth Rank.

He rose with his wine glass and strolled over to Lu Xiao, speaking with a hint of regret, ”Now that you’re back, aren’t you planning to divorce that trash?”

Lu Xiao responded in a calm voice, ”Why does Young Master Yun say that?”

”I respect the strong and prefer strong opponents. You and I, as the Empire’s favoured talents, are dragged down by that trash, it’s truly disappointing.” Yun Han downed his wine and casually placed the glass on the table,

his deep voice carrying a touch of seductive magnetism, ”If it weren’t for that trash holding you back, your achievements today would not be inferior to mine.”

”Thanks for the suggestion, but I am quite satisfied with my Female Master.” Lu Xiao glanced out the window before taking his leave without further words.

Watching his departing back, Yun Han frowned, feeling that this scene was not what he had imagined.

He knew all too well that his rival and he were both proud people, and how could he willingly lower himself to such a useless and ugly woman?

Yet, he did not take his bait.

Yun Han knew that Lu Xiao was straightforward and never disingenuous.

But why did he say those words...

Something peculiar stirred within Yun Han, feeling as though something was slipping out of his control, yet he couldn’t figure out why.

Soon, Lin Yu and his men returned.

They seemed like guilty thieves, too timid to meet the young master’s eyes.

Lin Yu, head bowed, distractedly poured wine for Yun Han, spilling it.

Yun Han noticed his subordinates’ odd behaviour, his deep-set eyes showing signs of impatience, and said sternly, ”What is it? Have you gotten into trouble again?”

Lin Yu stammered, ”No, it’s just... something unpleasant happened downstairs, we ran into someone unexpected...”

”Who did you encounter?” Yun Han paused in lifting his wine glass, a figure flashing through his mind.

Today, Lu Xiao was reinstated in his position; could that ugly woman have followed him?

It shouldn’t be such a coincidence.

Otherwise, given that ugly woman’s tenacity, she’d have already come looking for him by now.

Yun Han tilted his head back, finishing his wine in one go.

Lin Yu observed his calm and indifferent expression, seemingly not concerned about this matter, thinking that the young master had resolutely annulled the engagement years ago and would have no regard for that female.

Only, what they couldn’t understand was why Shen Tang had changed so drastically?

With the young master being so handsome and charming, possessing powerful Ninth Rank abilities, she would surely be more obsessed than before, yet now she showed complete disdain.

Many thoughts raced through Lin Yu’s mind, but he didn’t show it and mustered his courage to answer, ”When we went downstairs, we ran into Princess Shen Tang.”

The wine glass in Yun Han’s hand shattered abruptly, and several cuts appeared on his palm.

Lin Yu was startled, hurriedly kneeling on the ground.

A cold laugh emerged from Yun Han’s throat, as he raised his hand, accepting a towel to wipe the blood from his hand. His handsome, deep-set face was filled with gloom, ”Like a maggot in the bones, impossible to shake off!”

Lin Yu and the others exchanged glances, unsure if they should speak out.

Shen Tang hadn’t come to look for the young master; rather, she seemed extremely disgusted by them and Yun Han’s presence.

Lin Yu chose his words carefully, tentatively opening his mouth, ”Young Master, there’s something I don’t know whether I should say.”

”She seems to have truly changed this time, without inquiring about the young master’s schedule.”

”When we returned, she had already left with the beast husband.”
