Volume 3, Chapter 251 – Young Master Song Truly Has Keen Eyes

Chi Xiyan had no time to explain things to her fiancé at this moment.

She left Song Shixuan behind and rushed directly back into the room.

“Zhizhi! Are you okay? Zhizhi!”

Chi Xiyan pushed aside the wooden boards pressing down on Lu Zhuxin’s body. She didn’t immediately help Lu Zhuxin up, but first checked her body for injuries.

The body of an ordinary mortal girl was extremely fragile.

Before determining the specific situation, Chi Xiyan didn’t dare carelessly move the girl’s body.

“Hiss…” Lu Zhuxin said softly and weakly, “It hurts a little…”

“Good, good.” Chi Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s just some superficial wounds. Your bones and tendons aren’t injured.”

She gently lifted Lu Zhuxin from the ground.

Lu Zhuxin collapsed in Chi Xiyan’s embrace as if she had no strength, only revealing her cute little face.

Then, from an angle Chi Xiyan couldn’t see, she smiled sweetly at Qin Qingfen.

After that, using silent lip movements, she mocked Qin Qingfen word by word: “I. Won!”

Qin Qingfen had seen everything that just happened. Only now did she finally understand what the girl’s earlier actions meant.

“Lunatic! Vile wretch!”

Qin Qingfen cursed in a low voice.

Having served as a servant in a great aristocratic family for so long, she still had some understanding of the scheming methods used in inner courtyards.

What the girl before her was using was one of the more common types.

Rеaⅾ οո KatRеαⅾіngСαfе

The self-injury ploy.

But… how did this vile wretch manage to do it?!

To collapse that curio shelf would require at least Second Realm cultivation or higher, wouldn’t it?

This girl… she has no cultivation, right?!

“What’s going on here? Nanny Qin.” Chi Xiyan turned her head to look at Qin Qingfen.

Her expression was cold.

“Xiyan!” Qin Qingfen said urgently, “Don’t believe what she says!”

“This fox seductress, she’s pretending. She’s deliberately putting on a show for you!”

“Pretending?” Chi Xiyan gently lifted Lu Zhuxin’s sleeve.

On the exposed tender white skin, a layer of purple-blue bruises had now appeared.

Seeing this scene before her eyes, Chi Xiyan’s expression became even colder.

If Chi Xiyan hadn’t acted quickly and shattered that curio shelf,

If she had let that shelf, like a wall, press down on this girl’s body, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Yu Lizhi was just an ordinary mortal who had never cultivated.

“Nanny Qin, I know your impression of Zhizhi isn’t good,” Chi Xiyan said. “But I’ve already told you that Zhizhi is my younger sister. She’s very important to me!”

“Moreover, when the wolf demon captured all of you earlier, it was Zhizhi who saved your life!”

“Why would you still do this kind of thing!”

Chi Xiyan bit her silver teeth lightly. Anger gradually surged in her eyes.

Qin Qingfen was stunned. “Xiyan, it’s not like that. I didn’t touch her. She did it herself…”

Just as Qin Qingfen was defending herself, Lu Zhuxin reached out and tugged on Chi Xiyan’s sleeve. “I’m sorry, Sister. What happened today isn’t Nanny Qin’s fault.”

Lu Zhuxin buried her head against Chi Xiyan’s body. “It’s because of my actions…”

“I saw you chatting and laughing with that Young Master from the Song family, and I felt uncomfortable inside…”

“So I kicked the shelf with my foot… I didn’t expect the shelf would suddenly collapse!”

“Nanny Qin saw all of this. Everything she said is the truth!”

Qin Qingfen looked at Lu Zhuxin, feeling waves of inexplicable coldness rising along her spine.

This girl was retreating to advance, completely blocking off all of Qin Qingfen’s escape routes.

Yes, everything this girl was saying now was the complete truth. The shelf was indeed knocked down by her.

But when said in this context, how could Chi Xiyan possibly believe it!

Qin Qingfen opened her mouth with difficulty. “Xiyan… you have to believe me… it really wasn’t me…”

But Chi Xiyan didn’t listen to Qin Qingfen’s explanations. Instead, she held the girl in her arms even tighter. “Don’t say anymore, Zhizhi. I saw what happened just now. She was the one who pushed you under the shelf!”

Lu Zhuxin rubbed her little face gently against Chi Xiyan’s body, greedily inhaling the girl’s body fragrance.

At the same time, she didn’t forget to show Qin Qingfen a mocking smile.

Qin Qingfen was so angry her entire body trembled. “Xiyan… it really wasn’t me…”

Chi Xiyan then said, “Nanny Qin, are you trying to say this shelf was really kicked apart by Zhizhi herself?”

Qin Qingfen was momentarily speechless.

Just as the standoff continued, the white-robed young man who had been standing outside the room walked in. He picked up the support leg of the curio shelf and slowly examined it.

“Miss Chi,” the white-robed young man said, “although this rosewood isn’t any rare lumber.”

“It still requires a hundred years to grow and has a tough texture with a natural sandalwood fragrance.”

“To cut through this kind of wood, even a cultivator would need to use their cultivation combined with a magical treasure.”

“Unless it’s a cultivator of the Fourth Realm or higher who forcibly cuts it with their cultivation.”

The white-robed young man walked over and handed the piece of wood in his hand to Chi Xiyan.

“The cross-section on this wooden leg is very smooth.”

“This isn’t the mark of being kicked apart, but rather someone using their cultivation to forcibly cut it.”

Qin Qingfen became extremely anxious. “Young Master Song! This old servant has been wronged!”

The white-robed young man waved his hand with a light laugh. “Nanny Qin, don’t be anxious!”

“Even for a cultivator to cut through this rosewood isn’t an easy matter.”

“With Nanny Qin’s level of cultivation, to cut through this rosewood in such a short time would be rather difficult, I’m afraid.”

The corner of Qin Qingfen’s eye twitched. She indeed had no cultivation talent and her cultivation was low.

But Song Shixuan’s words were indeed helping to resolve the situation for her.

Chi Xiyan was silent for a while.

Although rosewood was tough, it ultimately wasn’t a spiritual material and hadn’t reached that degree of hardness.

Moreover, Chi Xiyan had clearly seen with her own eyes Qin Qingfen push Yu Lizhi toward the collapsing shelf.

Could that also be fake?

But Song Shixuan’s words clearly favored Qin Qingfen.

Chi Xiyan let out a gentle breath, her tone becoming somewhat milder. “Then, according to Young Master Song’s meaning? Whose fault was what just happened?”

The white-robed young man said, “The person who broke this rosewood should be someone else, and their cultivation isn’t low.”

“What just happened should merely be an accident.”

Merely an accident? Well said!

Lu Zhuxin wanted to raise both hands and applaud this man!

Making judgments for the master while in someone else’s home.

Those who didn’t know would think this was the Song family residence!

The Song family members were truly accustomed to their arrogance!

Song Shixuan and Chi Xiyan weren’t even married yet, and he was already eagerly managing the Chi family’s personnel matters?

Chi Xiyan’s expression wasn’t good at this moment.

She smiled lightly while keeping the muscles on her face taut, saying, “Young Master Song is correct. What just happened should only be a misunderstanding.”

“How embarrassing. Xiyan is short-sighted and not like Young Master Song, who has such keen eyes and considers things so thoroughly.”
