She was determined to have the Night King mete out justice for her!
Li Yuexian eagerly awaited.
Before long, the person who had gone to report emerged.
He came before her, "Please, Miss Li, you may enter."
"Ah, alright!" Li Yuexian quickly responded.
Then, she followed the attendant in, unable to contain her eagerness.
This was her first time entering the Night King's mansion.
In the capital, she was the first woman to be granted entry into the Night King's mansion!
One could only imagine how much she meant to the Night King!
Li Yuexian proudly lifted her chin.
She took in everything along the path.
The Night King's mansion was the largest in the entire capital. She had only heard about it before, but now, seeing it with her own eyes, she was still astonished.
Immediately after, she thought about how she would soon be married into this household. Then, this vast mansion would be hers, and as the Princess Consort, she would be in charge of everything.
She would invite many people to visit, and they would surely be shocked!
Even before meeting the Night King, Li Yuexian's mind was already brimming with countless thoughts.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a pavilion.
It was a tall pavilion, almost the highest point in the entire Night King's mansion.
She saw the Night King sitting in the pavilion. From her angle, he was truly incredibly handsome!
Looking across the entire capital, no one could compare to the Night King!
Upon reaching the pavilion,
She stood to the side, suddenly feeling a bit flustered, her face flushing. Fiddling with the hem of her dress, she spoke softly, "Night King."
Zhan Tianye's dark eyes lifted, his gaze carrying a natural coolness, "What business do you have with me?"
Li Yuexian froze for a moment. Why was the Night King so indifferent to her?
Shouldn't he be concerned about her?
The entire capital knew about the Li family's affairs. The Night King must know as well, so why wasn't he showing any concern for her?
No, she couldn't overthink it.
This was just the Night King's nature.
When she had seen the Night King in the palace before, he had been this cold to everyone.
"It's like this, Night King. Regarding my sister's matter today, you already know about it. In truth, my sister was framed. The one who harmed my sister is Yun Shu! But, no one believes it. Everyone thinks my sister seduced those scoundrels. Our family has tried various methods, but we still can't silence the gossip."
"Now, the rumors are becoming more and more outrageous. They are even saying that I, that both my sister and I are the same kind of person!"
As Li Yuexian spoke, her eyes welled up. She took out a handkerchief and dabbed at the corners of her eyes.
Zhan Tianye's cold eyes were deep.
Seeing that Zhan Tianye remained silent, Li Yuexian thought he didn't believe her. She quickly added, "Does the Night King not believe what I'm saying? It was truly Yun Shu who harmed my sister. Perhaps the rumors outside were also intentionally spread by Yun Shu. Otherwise, how could they have implicated me? She still likes the Night King, and she's using this opportunity for revenge."
Qiu Lu, standing beside them, subtly twitched his lips.
Regarding today's events, their King knew everything better than anyone.
He had seen it from beginning to end.
However, it seemed that Second Miss Yun didn't seem to like the King that much anymore.
He still remembered how Yun Er Xiaojie used to look at the King, how crazy her gaze was. But now...
He couldn't figure it out.
Below the pavilion,
Yun Xiao Jing was feeling bored and wandered around the Night King's mansion.
He saw a rock garden and found it interesting, so he went into the rocks.
Unexpectedly, he overheard someone speaking ill of his mother!
He crossed his arms.
From within the rockery, he looked up towards the pavilion.
It was that bad aunt!
It wasn't enough that she had slandered his mother at the teahouse, but she had come to his scumbag father to speak ill of his mother!
His grape-like big eyes darted around, then a mischievous smile appeared.
He ran out of the rockery.
"This King understands. Guards, escort Miss Li out of the mansion," Zhan Tianye said coldly.
"Yes!"
A servant entered the pavilion and said to Li Yuexian, "Miss Li, please follow me."
Li Yuexian was stunned again, her face turning pale. "The Night King won't help me?"
How could he not help her?
To so coldly have her escorted out?
Didn't he like her very much? Doesn't liking someone mean giving everything for them?
Li Yuexian couldn't comprehend it.
She bit her lip and looked at Zhan Tianye with a hint of grievance.
She didn't want to leave.
Zhan Tianye's gaze suddenly turned even colder.
Li Yuexian shivered, startled.
But she still bravely said, "Night King, I don't want to bear false accusations. I am about to marry the Night King, and if I were to marry you under these rumors, it would be unfair to you as well! Therefore, Night King, I beg you, you must help me."
As she said these words, tears streamed down her face, and she appeared pitiful and wronged.
Suddenly,
A few birds flew overhead.
Coincidentally,
They soiled themselves mid-air.
The droppings fell directly onto Li Yuexian's head.
They slid from her head onto her face.
Mixing with the tears on her face.
Li Yuexian noticed something fall on her face. At first, she didn't know what it was and casually wiped it away.
Instantly.
A strong, nauseating smell filled her nostrils!
Her eyes widened in horror.
She looked up.
The birds had already flown away.
When she looked down again.
She suddenly saw Zhan Tianye's even deeper, colder, and darker eyes.
In that instant, Li Yuexian felt as though her blood had turned cold.
She cried and wiped her face with her handkerchief, "It's so dirty! So dirty! Wuwuwuwu..."
What Li Yuexian didn't know was that the more she wiped and the more she cried, the more the bird droppings mixed with her tears and spread across her face.
Her entire face became a mess.
Zhan Tianye gave a command, "See the guest out!"
"Miss Li, please follow this servant," the servant immediately said to Li Yuexian.
Clearly, the servant was also shocked by Li Yuexian's appearance.
They had never imagined something like this could happen!
Too coincidental!
For the birds to be so fast, and to manage to...
Li Yuexian was so ashamed that her tears flowed uncontrollably.
But she couldn't utter a single word.
She just wanted to leave quickly.
She fled the pavilion in a panic.
"Ah! Aunt Cockroach, why are you here?" Yun Xiao Jing's clear, childish voice, with a hint of baby talk, exclaimed.
Li Yuexian stopped dead in her tracks. Aunt Cockroach?
She quickly looked towards Zhan Tianye in the pavilion.
Her head buzzed.
Flustered, she said, "I'm not Aunt Cockroach, you should call me Aunt Li."
After saying that, she quickly ran past Yun Xiao Jing.
She truly couldn't stay any longer!
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the Night King might break off the engagement.
Watching Li Yuexian flee in disarray, Yun Xiao Jing's eyes were filled with triumphant amusement. Hmph! To repeatedly plot against his mother, that was like opposing him, Yun Xiao Jing!
"Xiao Jing, why are you here?" Zhan Tianye's expression was not very pleasant.
Seeing Zhan Tianye's somber expression, Yun Xiao Jing felt a secret surge of joy. Hmph! He wanted his scumbag father to have lingering psychological trauma from seeing the bad aunt!
His eyes rolled around. "I miss Godfather!"
Zhan Tianye, whose brows were originally stern and gloomy, heard Yun Xiao Jing's words and suddenly, it felt as though something had softened in his chest.
