Chapter 364: Zero Tolerance for Betrayal
Chapter 364: Zero Tolerance for Betrayal
In Zhao Yue's heart, Shen Lan is a beauty who brings disaster, the reincarnation of Daji, and Xiao Yun is King Zhou who was bewitched by the evil concubine and turned into a tyrant.
And she herself is the persecuted queen.
Unless Shen Lan can stay young and beautiful forever like Daji, when she gets old and ugly and Xiao Yun gets tired of her, her fate will not be good!
Zhao Yue thought of Shen Lan from the perspective of a wife looking at a concubine, with disdain flashing in her eyes.
Liang Qiu felt a little complicated.
He disagreed with Zhao Yue's idea. He felt that Xiao Yun was not the kind of person who would be easily seduced by beauty.
Shen Lan is cautious and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would tell tales behind someone's back.
"Yueyue, let's not talk about this anymore. I can help you remove the extreme parts of the online comments. It's unlikely to ban them all, and it will attract Xiao Yun's attention, which will have the opposite effect."
"It's obvious that Xiao Yun wants to take revenge on you. If he doesn't achieve his goal, he won't let it go. So he can only let you down temporarily."
Zhao Yue was not satisfied, but there was nothing she could do. She could only say sullenly, "Well. Liang Qiu, can you come to my house? I'm a little scared being home alone now."
If it were in the past, Zhao Yue would never have invited Liang Qiu to her home, but now she really needs someone by her side.
"Okay, I'll be there right away..." Before Liang Qiu could finish his words, a sharp curse came from the other end of the phone.
"Where are you going? I'm telling you, you stay home today and you're not allowed to go anywhere. A swindler woman who can sleep with anyone is not worth your bother..."
Zhao Yue's eyelids twitched. She didn't dare to listen anymore and quickly hung up the phone.
Even though she could fool Liang Qiu, she never dared to confront his mother. This woman was not a good-tempered character. She could tear someone's face off in a minute. She had no martial ethics at all. Zhao Yue's tricks were useless in front of her.
After hanging up the phone, she sat there for a long time. Liang Qiu still hadn't come. Zhao Yue knew that he must have been tripped up by his mother.
She checks the news online from time to time.
The discussion about her continued, even becoming a trending topic. She could also see that Liang Qiu was trying hard to suppress the news, but with little success.
Zhao Yue rubbed her hair irritably, her face looking tired.
She could almost imagine how Shen Lan was mocking her now.
Shen Lan was indeed reading the news online at this moment. After learning what had happened, he looked at Xiao Yun in surprise.
Xiao Yun noticed this burning gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want to say?"
"Did you really have someone do this, Zhao Yue?"
Xiao Yun paused with the pen in his hand and sat up straight: "Isn't this obvious? Why are you so surprised?"
Shen Lan couldn't help but move closer to him: "She is the Zhao steward's precious daughter, you grew up together as a childhood sweetheart, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"
"Let me remind you, we're not childhood sweethearts. Aside from the necessary greetings, she and I haven't spoken a single word in all these years. The total time we've spent together isn't even as much as you have."
When Xiao Yun said this, his beautiful and deep eyes looked at Shen Lan.
Shen Lan avoided him uncomfortably: "Why are you dragging me into this...Aren't you afraid that Butler Zhao will hold a grudge against you for treating Zhao Yue like this?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly darkened: "I'm afraid he has been holding a grudge against me for a long time."
Shen Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and signaled him to continue with his eyes.
"After Master Yu was imprisoned, I met him and learned a piece of news." Xiao Yun's expression was gloomy, and his voice was faint. "Master Yu's sense of taste disappeared suddenly. Before that, he had only done one special thing, which was to go to the Zhao family for a meal."
Shen Lan frowned: "Are you saying that Butler Zhao has tampered with Master's sense of taste?"
Xiao Yun didn't answer directly, saying, "Master Yu and Zhao Zhi have known each other for many years and are close friends. I have no guard against him at all."
Zhao Zhi is a cautious person, so the evidence might have been disposed of long ago.
"There is zero tolerance for betrayal, whether in the Xiao family or on my side. Zhao Zhi knew it well, so he left without further entanglement."
Shen Lan's eyelashes trembled: "What about this time? Why did you suddenly attack Zhao Yue, and take this photo?"
She tapped her finger on the screen and pulled up a photo.
It was the photo that netizens released in the identity of Xiao family's servants, exposing Zhao Yue as a fake socialite and Zhao Zhi as the housekeeper.
"You asked the servant to release this photo, right? Why did you choose this one?"
The Xiao family has the records of Zhao Zhiren as the housekeeper. Wouldn’t it be more clear if they released that?
Shen Lan looked at Xiao Yun, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
She really wanted Xiao Yun to say something, but was also afraid of what Xiao Yun would say. Shen Lan herself couldn't figure it out.
