TFWYH – Chapter 459 Bewitched

Ling Yue continued, “Which day? What time?”

“Two days ago—two days ago in the afternoon! You bumped into me at the city gate…” At that time Ling Yue and Tang Wan had already been out of the city for a while. They should have been coming back around then, right?

But Ling Yue laughed. “Miss, two days ago my sister-in-law and I went to Bamboo Village. We stayed there until almost nightfall before returning to Weng City. How could I have bumped into you? Besides, we rode horses there—and we rode horses back. If we had hit you while riding, would you still be standing here perfectly fine?”

“Damn it!” Jin Lin slapped Wen Dai’er again and shouted, “Shopkeeper! Drag these two wretched women to the brothel!”

The shopkeeper immediately signaled the waiters to seize them.

“No! No! Let go of me! My aunt is Madam Yi! If you dare do anything to me, my aunt won’t let you off!” In her panic, Wen Dai’er brought Madam Yi into it again.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper and the others hesitated and looked at Jin Lin questioningly.

Jin Lin sneered and turned his gaze to Cui Liu. “Fine! Let’s say what you claim is true. I won’t touch you. But this woman isn’t the niece of some prefect’s wife, is she?”

Cui Liu trembled all over, staring at Jin Lin in disbelief.

Jin Lin snorted. “Shopkeeper, drag her away.”

“What?” Cui Liu was stunned.

Seeing the shopkeeper’s men coming to grab her, she hurriedly clutched at Wen Dai’er. “Miss, Miss, please save this servant! I was only following your—”

“Shut up! I don’t know anything!” Wen Dai’er immediately distanced herself, caring nothing for Cui Liu’s fate.

Cui Liu was shocked by her shamelessness.

She had never imagined her mistress would treat her like this.

The brothel!

Was she really going to spend the rest of her life as a woman used by anyone and everyone?

In that instant, Cui Liu suddenly began to hate Wen Dai’er. As the shopkeeper’s men restrained her, she blurted out everything. “I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything! It was her—she took a fancy to that handsome young master…”

In a rush of words, she spilled the whole story, including how Wen Dai’er had used aphrodisiac incense, believed Tang Wan was merely a concubine, and wanted to replace her.

The crowd’s expressions gradually shifted to disbelief as they looked at Wen Dai’er.

All this… just to retaliate against an innocent person?

How vicious!

“You bitch!” Exposed, Wen Dai’er angrily slapped Cui Liu, then hurried to explain, “I only wanted to teach her a small lesson. I didn’t mean to do anything else! I was just possessed for a moment—I really didn’t mean it! Wuuu…”

Jin Lin let out a cold laugh. “Wang Er Mazi makes his living by cheating and abducting people. Quite a few women have been trafficked by him. And now you’re telling me you didn’t mean it? Just a small lesson? How about I let him teach you a lesson too?”

“No, no! I was wrong! I really was wrong!” Wen Dai’er cried miserably, snot and tears streaming down her face.

But aside from Ling Yue, no one present pitied her.

“Brother Jin, forget it,” Ling Yue sighed. She felt her heart still wasn’t hard enough.

Jin Lin frowned. “Just forget it? If I hadn’t been here today, you’d have been sold to a brothel by Wang Er Mazi!”

Ling Yue smiled awkwardly. “But you were here—and you saved me! I just think… we’re all women. Show mercy where mercy is due.”

In ancient times, a woman’s chastity was everything.

If they really went through with it… could those two girls even survive afterward?
