Chapter 111

Burning with anger.

The small carriage was unusually quiet. Hearing Yin Fengzhan's words, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at the man before her quietly, and after a long while, she suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"Heh..."

Nie Jinxuan laughed wantonly and softly. Seeing this, Yin Fengzhan, whose face was already gloomy, darkened even further, but then he heard Nie Jinxuan's smile instantly vanish.

"Yin Fengzhan, what did you just say? Impolite? Then may I ask how you intend to be impolite to me?"

Raising her eyebrows in retort, she finished, then let out a cold snort.

"As for the divorce, I have already made my intentions clear to you. If you, Yin Fengzhan, insist on dragging your feet and not signing, then that is up to you! However, don't you dare try to interfere with me! So, whether my staying behind was an appointment with Prince Rui or not, it has nothing to do with you! Even if I take a step back and say that I, Nie Jinxuan, really did have an appointment with Prince Rui, it is none of your business!"

Nie Jinxuan had always considered herself a calm woman, but the moment she encountered Yin Fengzhan, all her rationality and calm vanished without a trace. As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Yin Fengzhan and suddenly shouted:

"Stop the carriage!"

Nie Jinxuan ordered. Hearing this, the coachman outside was startled and hurriedly brought the carriage to a halt. As soon as the carriage stopped, Nie Jinxuan stood up, intending to get off... but the moment she stood up, Yin Fengzhan pulled her back.

"Go!"

This command was directed at the coachman outside. Hearing this, the already bewildered coachman was stunned again, but then hurriedly whipped the horses and drove the carriage forward...

The carriage moved again. Nie Jinxuan, who had been pulled back, reflexively tried to shake off Yin Fengzhan, shouting:

"Yin Fengzhan, what are you doing? By what right do you stop me from getting off?! Let me tell you, you have no right to control me! Let go!"

Nie Jinxuan was truly furious. She struggled with even greater force, but was pinned down. Yin Fengzhan then flipped over, completely pinning Nie Jinxuan onto the carriage cushions!

"Let go?! And what will you do after I let go? Get off the carriage? And then go find the Second Imperial Brother?"

"You... Yin Fengzhan, what are you saying?! Let me go!"

"What am I saying? You ask what I'm saying? Nie Jinxuan, you want a divorce, and then you want to find another man? Dream on!"

"Yin Fengzhan! Shut your mouth!"

"What? Did I hit a nerve?"

"You are shameless!"

"I am shameless? Nie Jinxuan, who is the truly shameless one here?!"

Fiercely pinning Nie Jinxuan's hands above her, Yin Fengzhan leaned down, pressing his body against hers, his gaze darkening.

"You had your maid drug me, and then called Zhen Xiao Lian over... Nie Jinxuan, do you really want to leave me that much?! To the point where you'd use such underhanded methods? And yet, you have the nerve to call me shameless? Nie Jinxuan, tell me, which of us is truly shameless?"

His angry eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, Yin Fengzhan was like a provoked beast, wanting to tear everything apart! But hearing his words, Nie Jinxuan, who had been nearly driven mad with rage, was instantly stunned. She raised her eyes and met his gaze, which was inches away.

"Yin... Yin Fengzhan... what... what did you just say? What... what drugging? What... what are you talking about?"

Nie Jinxuan was bewildered! Because at this moment, she truly did not understand what Yin Fengzhan was talking about. Seeing her confused and ignorant expression, the angry Yin Fengzhan let out a cold laugh and said:

"What am I talking about? Heh... Nie Jinxuan, do you think I'll believe you if you play the innocent now?"

As he spoke, Yin Fengzhan raised a hand to clamp onto Nie Jinxuan's chin, leaning even closer to her face.

"Nie Jinxuan, let me tell you, don't tell me you don't know anything! I don't believe it!"

Yin Fengzhan spoke word by word. But just as he was about to say more, Nie Jinxuan took the opportunity to pull her hand back, first shaking off his large hand that was clamping her chin, and then forcefully pushing Yin Fengzhan, who was pinning her down, away.

Nie Jinxuan was also mad! Once she pushed Yin Fengzhan away, she flipped over and sat up directly.

"Yin Fengzhan, you listen to me carefully! I don't care if you believe me or not, but I am telling you, I, Nie Jinxuan, have never had anyone drug you! Nor did I have anyone call Zhen Xiao Lian to find you, and I certainly never planned to frame the two of you to achieve a divorce! I, Nie Jinxuan, am not that filthy and shameless!"

Nie Jinxuan shouted in anger. Hearing this, the originally furious Yin Fengzhan was indeed stunned.

Yin Fengzhan stopped talking. He just stared fixedly at Nie Jinxuan with his deep, cold eyes. Seeing this, even if he didn't say it, Nie Jinxuan understood what he was thinking! She let out a contemptuous, cold snort and shouted:

"Zhongli!"

Zhongli was Yin Fengzhan's attendant, responsible for clearing the way in front. Hearing Nie Jinxuan's call, Zhongli immediately rode his horse to the side of the carriage.

"Yes! What does the Princess Consort need?"

"Zhongli, see if there is a place to rest ahead."

Nie Jinxuan ordered crisply. Hearing this, Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then, hearing that Yin Fengzhan didn't speak from inside the carriage, he hurriedly responded respectfully and rode forward to scout... After a short while, he returned.

"Reporting to the Princess Consort, there is an inn ahead."

"Very well, when we reach the inn, have the carriage stop!"

"Uh... but Princess Consort, if we stop at the inn, we might not make it back to the capital on time."

"It doesn't matter! Go make the arrangements!"

At this moment, what return to the capital, what murder case, all Nie Jinxuan wanted to do was clarify things with the man in front of her and make a clean break! Hearing this, although Zhongli was in a difficult position, after waiting for a long while without any orders from his master, he could only follow Nie Jinxuan's instructions.

Thus, after traveling a bit further, the carriage party stopped in front of an inn by the side of the official road. Nie Jinxuan then got off the carriage first...

The inn by the official road was naturally not very large. But because this was the essential route to the capital of Dongling, there were quite a few travelers stopping here.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Nie Jinxuan saw the large characters "Fu Lai" written on the inn's banner! Before she could look at anything else, the inn's waiter came to greet them.

"Greetings, Miss, are you staying the night or just stopping for a meal? Don't let the size of our shop fool you, Miss, we are no worse than the inns in the city! We have superior rooms for staying and delicious food for eating, we will definitely satisfy you..."

It seemed the waiter was a perceptive one. Seeing Nie Jinxuan's party, with a carriage, a maid, and attendants, he knew they were of high status, so he was naturally extra enthusiastic. Just as the waiter was about to recommend something else to Nie Jinxuan, he instantly met the cold gaze of Yin Fengzhan, who had just stepped off the carriage.

Instantly, the previously enthusiastic waiter shivered all over and hurriedly shut his mouth.

The waiter was frightened by Yin Fengzhan. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan frowned, turned to glare at Yin Fengzhan behind her, and then ordered the waiter:

"Prepare a superior room!"

"Uh... yes... please, please follow me..."

"Thank you, shopkeeper! Xiao Xiu, you come too!"

Politely thanking the waiter, Nie Jinxuan called Xiao Xiu and Yin Fengzhan to follow the waiter upstairs... Once they reached the room, Nie Jinxuan dismissed the waiter. She turned, sat in a chair, and said to Xiao Xiu, who was standing at the door:

"Xiao Xiu, come in!"

"Uh... yes, Princess Consort..."

Xiao Xiu didn't know why Nie Jinxuan wanted her to come over, but seeing the situation, she instinctively felt a trace of fear. At this moment, Nie Jinxuan had no time to comfort her, so as soon as Xiao Xiu walked over, she asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Xiu, tell me! Did you drug the Prince earlier?"

Nie Jinxuan asked directly. Hearing this, Xiao Xiu, who hadn't understood what was going on, was stunned for a moment, but then her face turned deathly pale.

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan felt a wave of dizziness, but she closed her eyes to calm herself down before speaking again:

"Xiao Xiu, what exactly happened?"

"Prin, Princess Consort... this servant, this servant..."

At this moment, Xiao Xiu was truly frightened, and tears streamed down her face. She opened her mouth to explain... but before she could speak, Nie Jinxuan slammed her hand on the table nearby and ordered in a deep voice:

"Enough, Xiao Xiu! I don't want to hear your explanations right now! I only want to know if this is true! Did you drug the Prince?"

For the first time, Nie Jinxuan was so stern with Xiao Xiu. Hearing this, Xiao Xiu was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a 'thud', crying as she said:

"Prin, Princess Consort... woo woo... this servant, this servant was wrong..."

"I don't want to hear about right or wrong, I just want to know if it's true!"

"Woo woo... yes..."

Under Nie Jinxuan's pressure, Xiao Xiu finally confessed. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan felt her blood pressure rise again, but she continued to ask:

"Then, I ask you! Who told you to do this? Xiao Xiu, tell me the truth, who told you to do this? And why did you do it?"

"Woo woo... Princess Consort... Princess Consort... woo woo... please don't be angry... Xiao Xiu, Xiao Xiu had no choice..."

"Who was it? Tell me, who was it?!"

By the end, Nie Jinxuan was shouting in anger. Startled by the shout, Xiao Xiu trembled all over and said through her tears:

"Woo woo... it... it was the Second Young Miss..."
