Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 023 Uninvited Guest

Xie Yun felt the cold wind outside and barely calmed down the embarrassment in her heart. She returned to the side hall as if nothing had happened, but she didn't expect that there was an uninvited guest here.

Shen Guang sat in the main seat drinking tea. Seeing Xie Yun coming in, he glanced at her with contempt: "It seems that Aunt Xie Yun has been usurped by someone else, and she doesn't even have a chance to warm the bed."

Facing her provocation, Xie Yun didn't care at all. She knew who Yin Ji slept with, but she was too lazy to say it.

She shook her head and sighed, her eyes fell on the cup in Shen Guang's hand: "It's a pity that the only Tianqing cup was used by you today and was ruined."

Shen Guang's arrogant attitude suddenly became a little unbearable due to her undisguised disdain. From her words, she heard that the cup seemed to be a treasure, and her hand was unstable for a moment.

She wanted to put it down now, but she felt that if she really put it down, she would be scared by Xie Yun; but if she didn't put it down, what if she really broke it, how much would she have to pay for it?

She hesitated for a long time, but still pretended not to care and put the cup on the table.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she put it down, Xie Yun reached out and picked it up, and threw it on the ground casually. The cup broke into pieces instantly, and the broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, scaring Shen Guang and she screamed: "What are you doing?"

Xie Yun said calmly: "I don't like others to touch my things. If they touch them, I don't want them."

Shen Guang was choked and her face turned blue. The plan to suppress her collapsed completely. She couldn't save it, so she just got straight to the point.

"My mistress said that she saw the emperor and the maid Xiang Sui rubbing against each other today. Since you were once a girl from a noble family, she ordered me to remind you that if you don't get rid of this person, you will be stepped on sooner or later."

Xie Yun said "Oh", and her carelessness was written on her face.

Shen Guang was a little impatient: "I'm telling the truth. The emperor has asked her to stay and serve him. It's obvious that he wants to replace you."

Xie Yun paused slightly. Did Yin Ji keep Xiang Sui?

Obviously, he didn't do anything when they had a dispute before...

She suddenly remembered Yin Ji's attitude towards her. Maybe for him, the maid was not worth his trouble, whether it was herself or Xiang Sui.

She lowered her eyes, with a layer of indifference on her face: "All I want is to leave the palace when I reach the age. I can't control who is around the emperor, and I don't want to control it. Please tell your master that next time you use people as knives, you must grasp the weakest point."

Shen Guang never thought that she would have such an attitude, and stamped her feet in exasperation: "Okay, I'll wait for the day when you are stepped on by others!"

Xie Yun was too lazy to even reply, and opened the book to read.

Shen Guang turned around and left, but stopped at the door. She glanced at Xie Yun very obscurely, with a complicated and fearful look, as if she had something else to say, but couldn't speak.

"Miss Shen Guang, you came here not just to spread this message, right?"

Xie Yun suddenly spoke, startling Shen Guang who was deep in thought and trembling all over. After a brief hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have something else to ask you... about the incident of falling into the Taiye Lake before, don't think I can't guess that you held me at that time just to frame me. If you dare to complain to the emperor..."

She put on a fierce look to try to threaten Xie Yun, but when she met Xie Yun's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the words on her lips suddenly became pale and powerless.

"Tsk," Xie Yun sneered and snuggled over mockingly, "I did it so obviously, you should have felt it at that time, and you come to me now, don't you think it's too late?"

Shen Guang was stunned. She didn't expect her to suddenly reveal her cards. After coming to her senses, she was so angry that she trembled all over: "You, you are really framing me?"

She just wanted to take the lead, so she said that, but she didn't expect that she was actually guessed.

She grabbed Xie Yun's hand and pulled her to leave: "Come on, you have to go with me to explain it clearly in front of the emperor!"

Xie Yun let her grab her hand, but she looked confused: "The rumors outside, isn't it that I fell down by myself? What do you want me to explain clearly."

Shen Guang was stunned again. Yes, nothing has happened yet, how should Xie Yun explain?

But if she leaves it alone, she will always have a knot in her heart. That day, several eunuchs saw her dumping Xie Yun. How can people feel at ease with such a hidden danger?

"If you don't want to be misunderstood, just kill those eunuchs."

Xie Yun spoke, with a bit of devilish temptation in her voice.

Shen Guang's heart was moved instantly. Yes, as long as they were killed, there would be no witnesses...

She raised her foot to leave, but she suddenly came to her senses after taking two steps. No! If she killed someone now, even if she was framed, she couldn't explain it clearly.

Her face instantly turned grim: "You are harming me!"

Xie Yun sighed in disappointment: "You’re not that stupid... That's all, I won't waste time with you. In fact, there is only one way to clear you..."

Facing Shen Guang's bright eyes, Xie Yun sneered: "That is to jump down with me at that time, but you don't have this opportunity now."

Shen Guang's emotions were almost out of control because of her teasing: "What do you want to do? I tell you, even if you complain to the emperor, Concubine Yue will definitely protect me! I'm not afraid of you at all!"

"Then why did you come to me?"

Shen Guang's anger was extinguished by these few words. She lost her temper and didn't speak again.

Xie Yun smiled slightly: "Relax, if I really want to do something to you, you won't be standing here... Do one thing for me, and the accounts between you and me will be written off, how about it?"

Shen Guang turned her head away: "If you want me to harm my girl, then forget it."

The aristocratic families have many secrets and secrets. Any maid who can be brought into the palace has a handle in hand, such as Shen Guang. She is a house-born child. The lives of such a person are in the hands of the master. If the master is in trouble, she will be willing to take the blame for her family.

So Xie Yun was not surprised by her words: "Don't worry, I have no intention of being her enemy. I have said that I just want to wait until I am old enough to leave the palace. There are only five years left. You can persuade her not to embarrass me anymore. Let's live in peace with each other, isn't it good?"

Shen Guang looked at her suspiciously: "Are you serious?"

"No lies."

Shen Guang's face changed, and Xie Yun spoke again: "As long as you try your best, even if it doesn't work, I will keep my mouth shut."

This sentence touched Shen Guang, and she gritted her teeth: "Okay, I will believe you this time."

Xie Yun felt relieved and sent her out of Qianyuan Palace, but she didn't notice that Shen Guang's face changed the moment she turned around.

Her eyes fell coldly on Xie Yun's back: "You are a sinner. If you leave the palace, you can only go to southern Yunnan. Who would believe you if you said you wanted to leave the palace? Just wait, the grudge against me will not be let go just like that."
