Yun Shu was so unrestrained before!
She was actually in the giant pit…
And now all these people had seen her!
Several men suddenly heard a noise from above them.
They immediately spat twice.
"This woman is too wild, seducing us here! We were all seduced!"
"She's not as good as the girls in the pleasure houses!"
"Yeah! She’s too ugly!"
"Only those two lumps of flesh are worth touching."
"Yes! So ugly!"
As they grabbed their clothes and put them on, the men spat on the woman lying on the ground, barely alive. Every one of them wore a look of disgust.
Yan Qi and the others almost burst out laughing when they heard this.
If they were Yun Shu, they would have smashed their heads against a wall and died by now!
Hahaha!
But, it was strange. While Yun Shu was detestable, few women could compare to her beauty.
Why did they seem to truly dislike Yun Shu for being ugly?
"You, who are you?! How dare you do this here!" Yi Zixing clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at the men. He couldn't bring himself to look at the dying woman out of the corner of his eye.
In his eyes, she shouldn't be like this!
How could she debase herself?
"My Lord, it doesn't matter who they are. What matters is Yun Shu, she… doesn't look good." Geng Yuyue gently reminded him.
She wished she could stare at Yun Shu for longer.
Such a spectacular scene had to be etched into her memory.
Look at Yun Shu, her face now buried in the ground.
Her disheveled state was exposed for all to see.
Thinking back to the slaps Yun Shu had given her in the palace that day, she no longer felt hatred, but complete relief!
"We'll take our leave first."
The men jumped up with ease.
Then, before Yi Zixing and the others could react to the shocking scene, they exchanged glances, then cast a frightened look not far away, and then bolted!
After the men had run off.
The several people gathered around the giant pit finally recovered from their shock.
It was too shocking!
"Has Miss Yun the Second gone mad?!"
"She's truly gone mad! This… what am I seeing! It's terrifying!"
"Yes, it's terrifying!"
Yi Zixing took a deep breath, then took off his outer robe and threw it down.
It landed precisely on the woman.
Yun Shu seemed to have fainted.
But after the robe was placed on her, she stirred.
Her body was soft and boneless.
After moving a few times.
She rasped, "Save me, save me…"
The people standing above looked at each other. Not one of them went down.
Li Yuexian smiled triumphantly, feigning helplessness. "Alas, the pit is too deep! Miss Yun the Second, I'm not one to judge, but how could you… by doing this, you've disgraced the General's Mansion."
"Indeed, how heartbroken would General Yun be if he knew! And your sister Yueyin, she would surely be even more heartbroken if she knew." Yan Qi pretended to sigh in sorrow.
Upon hearing their voices.
The 'Yun Shu' moved.
As if summoning all her strength, she struggled, trying to flip over.
Trying to stand up.
But she had already expended too much energy.
She was out of strength!
She wanted to shout.
But she had no strength, her voice too weak, "Save me… Sister, save me…"
Alas, the people on the edge of the pit couldn't hear her.
Yi Zixing clenched his fists tightly.
Ultimately, he couldn't bear it.
This farce had to end.
After all, he had invited everyone for the hunt.
He leaped down, landing easily beside the woman.
Just as he was helping the woman turn over and stand up.
He was stunned.
Suddenly, the words of those few men echoed in his ears: "So ugly…"
He froze, a mix of shock, ecstasy, and complex emotions making him rigid.
And his hand loosened.
The woman, with a plop, fell back to the ground.
The people on the pit's edge were initially stunned, then burst into laughter.
They had thought that Lord Yi was going down to save her out of pity, but unexpectedly, Lord Yi was also a person who detested evil!
Amidst the peals of laughter.
Not far from them.
Yun Shu toyed with the dagger in her hand.
Her gaze swept towards the man sitting in a wheelchair beside her.
"King Ye saw it too, it's really not my fault. There's a saying, isn't there? 'He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind'."
What rotten luck.
She had just subdued Li Yuexian and thrown her into the pit when she was caught red-handed by Zhan Tianye.
Even though he appeared when she was pushing Li Yuexian, she could guess that he had likely seen how she had threatened those men and how she had knocked out that maid.
Zhan Tianye gazed at her, his dark eyes unfathomable.
His gaze seemed as if he wanted to skin her and look into her heart, to see what kind of person she truly was.
She sighed softly.
"I'm so wronged, I'm also a victim."
She hadn't wanted to witness the live action, but being cornered by Zhan Tianye, she had been forced to watch it unfold.
She could remain unfazed because she had seen it all, having transmigrated from modern times.
But Zhan Tianye was different. Born in ancient times, he was schooled in rigid traditions.
Yet, he too could remain unfazed.
"Who exactly are you? You are not Yun Shu." Zhan Tianye stared coldly at Yun Shu's every move. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the woman who had pounced on him years ago, with a face covered in colorful paint, declaring her love for him and her desire to bear him many children, was the same woman before him now.
The woman he had just seen had subdued several bandits with swift movements, and instead of trying to escape, she had fought back.
Yun Shu was startled. If she hadn't transmigrated, she would have thought Zhan Tianye could see her soul!
She smiled, "Of course, I am Yun Shu. Would you like King Ye to verify? Any wet nurse who served me since childhood, or the midwife, knows where my birthmark is. King Ye, would you like to verify?"
This was truly bad luck.
To be caught by Zhan Tianye.
Why did she feel like he had come specifically to find fault with her?
A new wave of cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
Could he have found something out through Zhan Xiao Li?
This man could absolutely not be underestimated.
"This King does not wish to see it." Zhan Tianye's expression grew colder, his eyes like sharp knives.
Qiu Lu looked at Yun Shu in astonishment.
He was clearly shocked by what he had just seen and what he was seeing now.
He felt as if it wasn't only his King who was hiding something.
"If King Ye has nothing else, I should be going. They seem to be worried about me!" Yun Shu's smile remained, and the more she smiled, the more her peerlessly beautiful face became captivating.
Zhan Tianye looked at her.
He uttered only one word, "Scram!"
Yun Shu rolled her eyes.
She wouldn't stoop to his level.
Once she quietly took Zhan Xiao Li away, let's see if he could still be so arrogant!
She quickly walked out of the woods.
Her voice sweet, "Oh, why are you all here?"
