CH 37.2

After their meal, Shen Wanqing returned to her room.

She had a hard time eating this meal, and even considered whether to break Xu Ziyin’s hands so that his career as a poet would come to an end.

But on the way back, she heard a few gossiping maids squatting in the corner and chatting——

“Don’t you think that after Madame’s accident, our residence has become much more comfortable than before.”

“Although this situation is quite scary, it’s not bad for Madame to continue being like this. This means us servants can finally breathe.”

“Hey, tell me, is it really the young master who did this? Wasn’t there a rumor that Madame was involved in his biological mother’s d…”

“Shh! You can’t talk nonsense, be careful of getting punished.”

Although it was just a few maids chatting, Shen Wanqing still shared this incident with Feng Yaoqing and the others.

Shen Wanqing felt a headache incoming; there were too many messy clues and there was no way to form a complete plot line from them. Generally, in such a situation where she needed to use her brain to ponder, she would normally sleep first in order to relax her emotions.

So she really went to sleep.

However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard a commotion outside, there was noise and shouts, and many people rushed in one direction—

“Come here! Madame is gone!”

“Madame has become a demon, Madame has become a demon!”

Fire lit outside the window, there were people running around everywhere. Almost all the servants were looking for her with lamps. With everyone rushing about and the sound of a sword breaking through the void, without even thinking, she knew that Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing had probably already gone over to enquire about the situation.

Speaking of today’s dinner, Ji Feichen had mentioned that if the soul of the rat kept being inside the body of the Governor’s wife, a rejection would occur after a long time.

The specific manifestation of this rejection would be that her emotions would become particularly crazy, and her body would also change, becoming closer to the soul than the body. If the soul could not be replaced within half a month, she would die because the body could not adapt to the soul.

But it had only been three days since the Governor’s wife had become like this, and with Ji Feichen’s Suppression Talisman, it shouldn’t have gotten out of control so quickly.

She had also escaped the bondage, disappearing without an explanation.

It was very strange.

Shen Wanqing resignedly propped up her body, put on a coat, and was ready to go out and see the commotion.

However, as soon as she put her hand on the door, she heard a “squeaking” sound behind her. It was the same sound she had heard earlier in the day, an eerie sound that gave her goosebumps.

Wait, don’t tell me…

There was an air of coldness in the room, making one panic.

Shen Wanqing turned her head.

She did not see the Governor’s wife.

She had a hunch, so she rubbed her throbbing temples and slowly moved her gaze upwards. Finally, she found a dark shadow on the wall not too far away.

However, it was hidden in the dark so she couldn’t see the specific appearance.

Then, like a reptile, the black shadow slowly wriggled downwards, and finally, it was exposed in the light bit by bit.

The current appearance of the Governor’s wife could hardly be called a human being.

Her teeth were sharp and her eyes could barely hold her pupils. Her limbs were twisted in a strange shape as she crawled towards her bit by bit.

Shen Wanqing and her stared at each other for a long time.

Although it was hurtful to say this, the appearance of the Governor’s wife was indeed a bit ugly, and it was also a little scary.

She didn’t know if it was because she had been talking ill in her heart and had been discovered by the other party, but the Governor’s wife suddenly arched her back, her shoulder blades protruding terrifyingly. The “squeaking” sound from her mouth also gradually became sharper, filled with the aim to declare war.

Shen Wanqing’s emotions were a bit complicated.

In fact, according to her current abilities, she could subdue the Governor’s wife without a problem, but she didn’t know what sort of method she should use.

After all, she currently lived at the Governor’s place and ate out of the Governor’s pocket. If she didn’t do the job properly and hurt his wife, she would feel a bit bad.

However, she was reasonable, but the Rat Madame wasn’t.

Within the next second, the Rat Madame screamed, jumped up from the ground, and pounced onto Shen Wanqing’s body.

Shen Wanqing sighed, she had no choice but to prepare to break her legs.

However, just halfway through flight, the Rat Madame suddenly stiffened, motionless, and even her screams stopped abruptly. She still had that ferocious expression on her face, looking particularly terrifying.

“You are indeed easily liked.” Xie Wuyan’s voice entered her ears.

Shen Wanqing felt embarrassed: “That’s true.”

Xie Wuyan, who came out of nowhere, looked up and down with disgust at the Rat Madame who was hanging in the air with his Immobilisation Spell, and then turned to look at Shen Wanqing, his expression filled with even more disgust: “New guest?”

Shen Wanqing explained: “This is the Governor’s wife. She has become a little ugly, so you may not recognize her. Maybe she had been feeling suffocated and decided to escape, and then came to visit me along the way.”

Xie Wuyan was too lazy to listen to her explanation, he stepped forward, and as soon as the Immobilization Spell was released, the Rat Madame fell to the ground with a crash.

But even if she fell to the ground, she kept twisting her arm joints, making the strange “squeaking” sounds, still looking very aggressive.

Xie Wuyan: “You, get her out.”

Shen Wanqing tried to do it, but couldn’t find a suitable angle: “She’s constantly moving around, it’ll be difficult to get her out.”

Xie Wuyan released an expression that said, “why is it so troublesome”, and then very decisively used a spell to break a few of the Rat Madame’s bones. He looked at her limp on the ground, unable to move, and was finally satisfied: “Okay, get it out.”

Shen Wanqing: “…” Your way of solving the problem is really simple and violent.

But the Governor’s wife, who had a rat in her body, was quite stubborn. Even if her bones had been broken, she still let out a final roar with all her might.

However, Xie Wuyan was more unreasonable than her, so he was going to pull out her tongue.

Shen Wanqing hurriedly stopped him, then dragged the Governor’s wife out of the door, and said, “Since this is the case, should we tell Sister Feng and them to come—”

Xie Wuyan glanced at her: “It’s fine, go to sleep.”

Shen Wanqing: “But Madame she…”

Xie Wuyan: “Can’t she crawl by herself?”

Shen Wanqing: “…”

Look at yourself. Are you even human, saying something like this?

The author has something to say: The Cultivation Realm Biography, “Me and My Benefactors”:

[The dinner that day was memorable.

Young Master Xu expressed his love to Miss Shen in front of everyone. He even grandiosely said that she would be his one and only official wife, who he would marry into his family with all the official ceremonies. He knelt down to ask his father to agree to the marriage.

However, he was mercilessly separated from his love, and he was told that he was not allowed to write poems to Miss Shen again.

Yet, Young Master Shen did not give in to fate. He resolutely disobeyed his father, and was beaten in the head.

At the same time, Young Master Xie looked at Miss Shen’s side profile with a forced smile, his brows were full of loneliness, as if he was saying to her in his heart, “Whether you belong to me or not, as long as you are happy, I will have no regrets.”

But Miss Shen was very calm. She had already been heartbroken long ago. Neither Young Master Xu nor Young Master Xie could touch her heart.

Because she had long forgotten how to love someone. 】

Shen Wanqing and Xie Wuyan decided to join hands to murder Jiang Shujun after seeing this, but were stopped by Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing, who held onto their waists tightly.
