Chapter 70 Looking for Trouble, You Should Be Obedient Enough

"You mustn't misunderstand,"

"I care about Feng Ran. After all, Feng Ran's relationship with the Prince, and the Prince himself said that for any matter concerning Feng Ran, big or small, I must understand it clearly."

"I mustn't forget the Prince's instructions."

"Bei Chen Ye, I am also acting according to the Prince's instructions. There shouldn't be any mistakes, right?"

"I've been delayed by some matters these past few days. I've gotten some clues about why Feng Ran was troubled by Du Rong."

"However, just as I was about to continue clarifying, you appeared."

"My business was naturally interrupted."

"According to you, then, I came at the wrong time? If I hadn't appeared, would you have investigated the truth by now?"

"That's not what I said, it's what you said yourself."

"When it comes to Feng Ran's matters, I naturally care more than anyone else."

"After all, the Prince instructed me to take good care of her." Aunt Sheng even said with some difficulty, "If anything happens to Feng Ran, I wouldn't be able to live either."

Aunt Sheng looked at Bei Chen Ye, but said with some displeasure, "The reason Feng Ran was troubled by Du Rong is likely greatly related to the Prince."

"The girls in Chun Man Yuan all have their eyes on Feng Ran. If I hadn't kept a close watch, how could Feng Ran have survived until now?"

"The girls in Chun Man Yuan took advantage of my absence to trouble Feng Ran."

"The fuse that ignited all of this is the Prince."

Aunt Sheng truly felt indignant for Feng Ran, which is why she spoke such rebellious words that could cost her her life.

"If you weren't in Chun Man Yuan, what about Hong Yi? Wasn't she there either? Aunt Sheng, where have your skills in training people gone?"

"If that's the case, Aunt Sheng might not be able to continue in Chun Man Yuan."

Aunt Sheng frowned slightly. She didn't care about not being in Chun Man Yuan. However, Feng Ran was here now, and she didn't want to leave.

She wanted to protect Feng Ran. If she left, it was laughable how difficult Feng Ran's days would be.

She had only managed to find out a little about what happened to Feng Ran that day. As for the exact situation at the time, she was truly a bit unclear.

However, Bei Chen Ye's words made her heart clench. She even thought that perhaps things were more serious than she had imagined. Otherwise, Bei Chen Ye wouldn't have appeared.

Bei Chen Ye looked at Aunt Sheng and said, "Aunt Sheng, you should know Du Rong's character better than anyone. You should also understand how many people have fallen into his hands."

"Are you saying that Feng Ran was troubled and almost lost her life because of Du Rong?"

"Are you saying that someone in Chun Man Yuan collaborated with Du Rong?"

"Feng Ran almost lost her life. If the Prince hadn't appeared, Aunt Sheng, your head would likely have been separated from your body."

"Who is it that wants to frame Feng Ran like this? Do they only find happiness in killing Feng Ran?"

Bei Chen Ye said coldly, "Aunt Sheng, this incident happened in Chun Man Yuan. Therefore, you can figure out for yourself how to uncover the truth and how to handle it."

"Oh, and the Prince said that he wants the matter clarified within three days."

"Aunt Sheng, you must remember my words."

...

Aunt Sheng completely ignored Bei Chen Ye standing aside and went directly to find those who knew.

This matter was actually easy to guess. One glance would reveal the truth of the matter.

Aunt Sheng walked past those people, and it seemed like she was plotting something.

Aunt Sheng directly pushed open Hong Yi's room door and almost roared, "Hong Yi, I told you to watch over Feng Ran and ensure nothing happened to her. You vowed to me that nothing would happen to her."

"But now Feng Ran's life is hanging by a thread. Have you considered the consequences you will face?"

Hong Yi was still looking at a beauty product, carefully selecting it. She thought, the last time she saw the Prince, she hadn't dressed up properly. This time, she would dress up nicely every day. Next time, she would definitely be able to catch the Prince's attention.

If she were to be favored by the Prince, then her long-held wish would finally be fulfilled.

Hong Yi was unwilling. How could it be that even a woman like Feng Ran, with her "vulgar appearance," could catch the Prince's eye? Then how could she, with her beauty and abilities, not be able to catch the Prince's eye?

She had always been superior to Feng Ran in terms of her looks and her abilities. How could Feng Ran compare to her?

"Hong Yi, you'd better honestly explain what happened that day."

Hong Yi didn't take Aunt Sheng's words to heart at all. After all, for many years, although Aunt Sheng managed Chun Man Yuan, she had always been easy to talk to, and Hong Yi was almost on equal footing with Aunt Sheng within Chun Man Yuan.

"Aunt Sheng, what are you doing? Shouting orders at me for some lowly wretch."

Aunt Sheng's hand landed on Hong Yi's neck, tightening her grip, and said with a bloodthirsty tone, "Hong Yi, all these years, I've let you do as you pleased in Chun Man Yuan, and I've never punished you."

"It's because I felt it wasn't necessary. However, Hong Yi, don't forget that I am the one in charge of Chun Man Yuan, and you, don't forget that you are just a dog by my side."

"What's wrong? Have I been too good to you all these years, making you forget your place?"

"Aunt Sheng, is it appropriate for you to treat me like this for someone who just arrived?"

Hong Yi's eyes were filled with resentment.

Her life had been very comfortable all these years, and Aunt Sheng had never made things difficult for her. This made her feel superior. But when Aunt Sheng mentioned this matter now, she finally realized that she was nothing.

"Aunt Sheng, I know I was wrong. I just, I just couldn't stand that Feng Ran, so I acted on your behalf." Hong Yi's heart and eyes were filled with resentment, but her words were a forced apology.

Hong Yi looked at Aunt Sheng and continued to flatter her, "Aunt Sheng, I... I really know I was wrong."

"But, everything I did was for your own good. You..."

Aunt Sheng reached up and took off the hairpin from her head, directly raking it across Hong Yi's face, her gaze chillingly appraising Hong Yi.

She said coldly, "Is that so? Hong Yi has been living too comfortably, do you really think you have the right to touch Feng Ran?"

"If I don't teach you a lesson, it seems you've forgotten your own identity."

"Hong Yi, when you colluded with Huang Qian Qian to harm Feng Ran that day, you should have foreseen your own outcome long ago."

"Heh, when Feng Ran first arrived at Chun Man Yuan, I had already warned you."

"Fortunately, Feng Ran was not destined to die, and she is still alive. If Feng Ran had died, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for you."

Hong Yi's heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, instantly came alive.

Feng Ran was fine, that was good.

What she feared most was something happening to Feng Ran.

As long as she was alive, everything could be discussed.

Even if she had instigated Huang Qian Qian to do those things, without evidence, she couldn't be casually accused.
