Chapter 164: Words with Hidden Meaning

Words with Hidden Meaning

Under the gaze of everyone, Nie Jinxuan drank the wine in her hand without any avoidance. The bold yet elegant movement made the neck covered with red marks appear clearly in an instant!

At this time, although Nie Jinxuan's words were directed at Chen Yan'er, her eyes were fixed on someone in the corner not far away, and a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.

Then, Nie Jinxuan instantly put the empty wine glass on the table, and then turned her gaze back to Chen Yan'er in front of her.

Nie Jinxuan didn't speak, just watched her quietly, her beautiful eyes seeming to see through everything. Meeting those eyes, Chen Yan'er felt uncomfortable, and then the triumph in her eyes was replaced by anger a moment later.

"Why is the Third Miss looking at me like this? The matter just now was just an accident, don't tell me the Third Miss is blaming me?"

"Not at all~ I wouldn't dare blame the Princess! However, whether it was an accident... hehe, that's hard to say!"

"What? Nie Jinxuan, what do you mean by that?! Don't tell me you think I did it on purpose just now?!"

Chen Yan'er didn't like Nie Jinxuan in the first place, and originally she had succeeded, but seeing Nie Jinxuan so indifferent, she was instantly furious.

"Nie Jinxuan, you are the one who is shameless, don't tell me you want to blame me? Doing such a shameless thing, don't tell me you still want to argue?!"

Chen Yan'er was determined not to let Nie Jinxuan feel comfortable. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan smiled.

"Princess, even if I am shameless, your methods today, one after another, are probably no better than mine~!"

Nie Jinxuan replied with a calm expression, her beautiful face carrying an elegant and indifferent smile. After speaking, she paused instantly, and then her lips curled.

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say you wanted to apologize to me before? But looking at it today, it doesn't seem like it... But if it wasn't like this, why did you ask me to come?"

In front of everyone, Nie Jinxuan spoke lightly. Hearing this, Chen Yan'er, whose bottom line had been exposed, instantly changed her face, and then wanted to give Nie Jinxuan a slap without thinking!

But just then, just as Chen Yan'er raised her hand, a black shadow flashed instantly, and then grabbed Chen Yan'er's raised arm!

It was Shui Yun!

It turned out that ever since the incident at the Nie residence gate last time, Shui Yun had been annoyed that she hadn't saved Nie Jinxuan in time, so she had been exceptionally vigilant. Today, ever since she came to the Yun Wangfu, there had been constant trouble, which made Shui Yun even more alert. So seeing Chen Yan'er raise her hand, Shui Yun flashed over and intercepted her!

Shui Yun was a martial arts expert. Her hands looked thin, but her strength was something even men couldn't shake, let alone an ordinary woman like Chen Yan'er. So, being grabbed by Shui Yun, Chen Yan'er was stunned, then instinctively tried to shake her off, but couldn't break free no matter what!

"Nie Jinxuan, you have a lot of nerve! Tell her to let go?!"

Chen Yan'er was anxious and angry. Prince Yun Yin Fengjin, who had rushed over from the male guest table, saw Chen Yan'er being grabbed by Shui Yun, his face darkened, and he was about to step forward, but was secretly stopped by Crown Prince Yin Fenghan.

Everyone was stunned by this scene! At this time, looking at the furious Chen Yan'er, Nie Jinxuan raised her eyebrows, and then glanced at Chen Yan'er's wrist... But just then, just as Nie Jinxuan's gaze fell on Chen Yan'er's wrist, she was stunned.

Nie Jinxuan stared at Chen Yan'er's wrist without blinking, and after a moment, she curled her lips into a smile, and then gave Shui Yun a look.

Shui Yun loosened her fingers, and Chen Yan'er stepped back. But then, just as Chen Yan'er wanted to find Nie Jinxuan to settle the score in anger, Nie Jinxuan took the lead and said:

"Thank you for the hospitality today, Princess. However, I have some things to deal with, so I won't stay long. Keep the white jade Guanyin well, I hope you will have a son soon!"

Nie Jinxuan spoke with a calm expression. After speaking, she turned her eyes to look at Zhen Xiao Lian, who had been chatting happily with her, then looked up and scanned the crowd, until she landed on someone in the corner.

"Princess, you and I have no grievances, I don't blame you. However, next time you want to stand out, think twice about who you should help and who you shouldn't..."

With that, Nie Jinxuan turned her eyes and glanced at Chen Yan'er quickly, then changed the subject instantly.

"Also, there is one more thing... I wonder who gave you the bracelet on your wrist? It's really valuable. It seems the person who gave it to you must have a deep friendship with you..."

Speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, Nie Jinxuan said gently. At this time, hearing this, Chen Yan'er, who was about to roar, was stunned, and then turned her head to look at Nie Jinxuan in confusion.

"... What do you mean?"

"Nothing!"

Smiling slightly, Nie Jinxuan lowered her head and glanced at Chen Yan'er's wrist again, then walked away without looking back.

In front of everyone, Nie Jinxuan walked away gracefully. At this time, seeing Nie Jinxuan leave, Prince Yun Yin Fengjin hurried over.

"What happened?"

"Yes, Third Sister-in-law, what did she say to you just now?"

Following Yin Fengjin, Crown Prince Yin Fenghan also came over to ask. Because he always felt that Nie Jinxuan's expression at the end was a bit strange. At this time, hearing this, Chen Yan'er was stunned for a long time, but then couldn't help but shake her head.

"Nothing, she didn't say anything..."

She spoke in a low voice. After speaking, Chen Yan'er looked up at Nie Jinxuan's graceful departing silhouette, and a hint of hidden suspicion rose in the depths of her eyes...

After Nie Jinxuan left, the banquet continued, but after the previous commotion, the guests present also saw some clues, so they didn't stay long and left one after another.

Then Princess Yun Chen Yan'er started to get busy sending people off, while Zhen Xiao Lian also helped not far away. Then, watching the guests leave one by one, occasionally chatting and seeing them off... But then, seeing that almost everyone had left, Zhen Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but just then, a gentle voice sounded in her ear.

"Oh, it's been a long time, it seems you haven't made any progress at all~!"

The voice was exceptionally gentle, yet soft like water. At this time, hearing that voice, Zhen Xiao Lian, who was originally looking at her eyes, had a flash of intensity in her eyes, and then slowly raised her eyes.

"Is that so? I'm not making progress, but it's still better than you... not even being able to keep an eye on your own man~! Maybe tomorrow, the news will spread in the capital that Nie Jinxuan has good means and climbed into the Chen Wang's bed, forcing the concubines in the residence to not dare to speak. It's really pitiful~!"

Looking at the woman in front of her, Zhen Xiao Lian's expression was still like water, but the words she spoke were unexpectedly cold as ice, and even carried an indescribable hatred.

But hearing this, the other party just smiled indifferently.

"Heh... yes, I'm not as foxy as Nie Jinxuan, but what about you, Crown Princess? I heard that our romantic and passionate Crown Prince has taken in quite a few concubines recently~!"

With that, the other party raised her delicate eyes and met Zhen Xiao Lian's eyes.

"So, no matter what I am, I'm still better than you... A defeated general, how can you talk about courage?! I even specially helped you today, but it still ended up like this, letting Nie Jinxuan be graceful for once... It seems that next time you do something, you should use your brain more, Xiaolian~!"

The other party said the last two words exceptionally gently. After speaking, she curled her lips into a shallow smile and walked away... At this time, just after the person left, Xin'er walked over and said:

"Huh? Was that Side Consort Han of the Chen Wangfu just now~!"

Blinking, Xin'er asked curiously. Although she had seen her in the back hall before, Han Luoxue was sitting far away, so Xin'er didn't see her clearly. At this time, hearing this, Zhen Xiao Lian smiled slightly and nodded.

"Yes, that's Side Consort Han~!"

"Oh, Side Consort Han is really beautiful... I heard before that when she was not yet married, Side Consort Han and the Crown Princess were good friends. It seems it's true~!"

Just now, Xin'er was a bit far away, so she only saw Zhen Xiao Lian and Han Luoxue talking here, and both of them had smiles on their faces, so she naturally felt that their relationship was very intimate.

Hearing this, Zhen Xiao Lian was stunned for a moment, but then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hehe~ yes, good friends, and friends who talked about everything~!"

Yes, good friends! Friends who shared their hearts, but she didn't expect that it was this good friend who betrayed her at the last moment and stabbed her in the back!

That was the most painful stab, and she snatched away everything that originally belonged to her without mercy!

Good, really good!

Thinking to herself, Zhen Xiao Lian turned her head and looked quietly at Han Luoxue's departing silhouette...

But, Han Luoxue, do you think it's over?

No! It won't! Everything you snatched from me today, I will return it a hundredfold in the future... You, and that Nie Jinxuan, I, Zhen Xiao Lian, will absolutely not let any of you go!

Looking at that silhouette, Zhen Xiao Lian swore in her heart, and at the same time, a look of indescribable ferocity flashed in the depths of her water-like eyes...
