The Slender Waist-Chapter 736 - 529: Turning Against Each Other

Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang were brought over when Pei Yao was already informed.

She looked at Feng Yun calmly drinking tea, her face full of disbelief.

"So, you did this on purpose?"

Feng Yun nodded.

Pei Yao said: "Then you and Ajue..."

"We didn’t argue."

Feng Yun’s expression was warm, she slightly smiled, leaving Pei Yao stunned.

"Ajue, he actually lets you fool around like this?"

"Elder sister, this is called not shunning deception in war."

Pei Yao shook her head, still somewhat disbelieving.

"Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang have been with me for so long, always proper. In Xijing, Ajue often returns to the mansion, they are right in front of us, they never dared to commit any misdeeds, in my eyes, these are two clear-headed people, how could they suddenly become foolish?"

It wasn’t a sudden act of foolishness.

It was premeditated for a long time.

Feng Yun lightly laughed, "It seems, the two ladies are even more cunning."

Pei Yao looked at her, with a puzzled expression.

Feng Yun said: "When they had no chance, they restrained themselves. The moment an opportunity came up, they struck immediately. Elder sister, think about it, if tonight I truly argued with the king, and his mood was frustrated, drinking alone and getting drunk, wouldn’t they have succeeded then?"

The light in Pei Yao’s eyes gradually dimmed.

When Ao Zheng married her, their love was immense, she was charmed by sweet words, but later when he went out to socialize, drinking a few extra glasses of wine, a beauty leaning forward, he couldn’t hold back...

"No wonder when I previously tested them, whether they had feelings for Jiu You, both firmly denied it, even saying they only wished to serve by my side... indeed, they do not care about a mere guard, they aim to serve the king, striving to become a phoenix perched on high branches."

Feng Yun smiled, this time she did not respond.

Pei Yao could only think of these...

But her thoughts were still much deeper...

The disposition and actions of these two, are certainly not merely climbing the dragon or attaching to the phoenix.

They were clearly trained, specifically to devour men’s essence...

Outside, a burst of chaotic footsteps sounded.

Faintly, one could hear a woman’s crying.

The two looked at each other, their faces stern, remaining silent.

The sisters were brought up, with similar faces, even their expressions were the same—wronged, angry, yet with a hint of heartbreaking pity.

"Please, Princess and Madame... advocate for us sisters."

Jin Shuang knelt down first, tears overflowing.

Pin Shuang also quickly knelt beside her, crying heartbreakingly.

"I don’t know what my sister did to upset Jiu You, Jiu You... he accused my sister of attempting to seduce..."

Jin Shuang lowered her head, silently shedding tears.

Pin Shuang glanced at her, crying and said:

"Jiu You has always had affections for my sister, but since we were rescued by the Princess, we swore an oath, never to marry in this lifetime, only focusing on serving our master to repay her benevolence... thus we disappointed Jiu You’s feelings..."

"Pin Shuang, don’t talk nonsense." Jin Shuang bit her lower lip, forcing herself to shake her head.

"It’s just a misunderstanding, Jiu You... he misunderstood that I wanted to seduce the king."

She looked straight at Feng Yun, facing her directly with an innocent and clear gaze, "Princess, you have treated us sisters with immense kindness, if I harbored any seductive intentions, wouldn’t I be no different from beasts? Princess, believe me."

One played the good cop, the other the bad cop, sinisterly slapping Jiu You with an accusation, attempting to claim he "hated out of love, seeking revenge".

Not only to cleanse themselves, but also to frame others.

Jiu You’s eyes turned furiously red.

"You still dare to argue?"

Jin Shuang looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Jiu You, are you confused from the drink? I came to serve you Sobering Soup, how could that be seducing? With one hand holding a spoon and the other a bowl, how could I possibly seduce anyone?"

Jiu You’s face swelled red.

The ambiguity between a man and a woman, even if witnessed by others, is very hard to explain clearly, what more when the Princess and Madame did not see with their own eyes?

He is a man and truly felt the seduction...

But such a feeling is very subtle and extremely hard to explain clearly.

"I am not lying."

Jiu You stared with urgent eyes.

Seeing Madame Pei showing doubt because of Jin Shuang’s words, the emotions buried in his heart surged like a tide, gritting his teeth, he almost wished he could smash his head against a pillar to demonstrate his resolve with death.

"Princess, every word I say is true, I am not driven by personal vengeance. Please believe me."

Feng Yun smiled.

Jin Shuang wouldn’t try to seduce Pei Jue without leaving herself a way out, so, even if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she knew that Jin Shuang would never directly make physical advances, those low-level seductive acts that could be easily caught.

All she needed was to be ambiguously sticky, subtly making Pei Jue notice her, distracting his mind, while she herself remained innocent, able to advance or retreat...
