Chapter 36: Who is the stupid one

Who is the stupid one

Meng Xian was not a seasoned official, but he knew what should be said and what should not. Watching Meng Xian leave, Yin Fengzhan turned and returned to the room.

"Gu Hong, get out."

Yin Fengzhan's face remained calm. Hearing this, Gu Hong was instantly startled.

"... Yes."

Gu Hong dared not say more, but after responding, he quickly glanced at Nie Jinxuan beside him, then lowered his head and walked out silently, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

For a time, only Yin Fengzhan and Nie Jinxuan were left in the small room. Clearly, Nie Jinxuan, who was studying the embroidery needle and the wound on Xiao Ru's head, did not notice everything around her. Even the moment Gu Hong closed the door, her eyes lit up, and she looked up and said:

"By the way, I..."

Nie Jinxuan's face was full of surprise, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw Yin Fengzhan suddenly walk over in a few large strides.

"Nie Jinxuan, can you use your brain for once!"

Standing in front of Nie Jinxuan, Yin Fengzhan lowered his eyes and spoke from a height. His cold eyes were filled with fire, and his terrifying aura seemed to want to swallow Nie Jinxuan whole!

Nie Jinxuan was a bit confused, because she really couldn't understand how, in the blink of an eye, this man had become like this?!

"... What do you mean?"

"What do you think I mean? Do you have to let people know how brilliantly you opened a dead person's head for you to be satisfied?! Do you think opening a dead person's head is something glorious?"

"You... are you saying I'm showing off?"

Frowning, Nie Jinxuan looked up at Yin Fengzhan in disbelief. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan gave a cold laugh.

"What else?"

He said in a low voice, paused slightly, pursed his lips, and stepped forward to pinch Nie Jinxuan's chin.

"Nie Jinxuan, I thought that after returning from Tianqi this time, you had made some progress and understood things. But now it seems you are still as brainless as before!"

"However, you had better remember this. It doesn't matter if you are stupid, but you had better look at the situation. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for not saving you..."

Yin Fengzhan said every word clearly; his low voice was sexy and charming, but at this moment, it carried a coldness that chilled one to the bone. But before Yin Fengzhan could finish, Nie Jinxuan interrupted him instantly.

"Save? Yin Fengzhan, what are you saying? Are you saying that if it weren't for something I, Nie Jinxuan, caused, you would save me? Then what were you doing just now?"

Retorting without showing any weakness, Nie Jinxuan raised her hand and pushed Yin Fengzhan away.

"Yin Fengzhan, don't tell me you couldn't see Xiao Ru's intentions just now. She wanted to escape, which is why she held me hostage; she didn't want my life at all. But what did you do then? You called for archers and didn't give an inch... Yin Fengzhan, do you dare swear to heaven that you did this only for the sake of face?"

"No! You didn't do it for face at all! You, Yin Fengzhan, simply didn't want to save me from the bottom of your heart! And you talk about how if it's something I, Nie Jinxuan, caused, don't blame you for not saving me... Hehe, Yin Fengzhan, you have the nerve to say that!"

Actually, Nie Jinxuan had been very angry about what happened in the courtyard earlier! But because she was performing the autopsy on Xiao Ru, she had temporarily forgotten about it. Who would have thought that Nie Jinxuan wouldn't bring it up, but Yin Fengzhan would, which caused Nie Jinxuan's pent-up anger to erupt all at once!

Seeing Nie Jinxuan retort sharply, Yin Fengzhan's expression naturally didn't look any better. But before he could say anything, Nie Jinxuan spoke again.

"So, Yin Fengzhan, you remember this too! If you can't do something yourself, don't make it sound so nice!"

After saying this, Nie Jinxuan put the tweezers she had been holding back on the table to the side and walked out directly... But just as she passed Yin Fengzhan, she suddenly stopped.

"Also, let me remind you one more thing, Yin Fengzhan. Don't think that just because you call me stupid, you are any smarter! Don't forget, no matter how much you, Yin Fengzhan, hate me, I am still the Princess Consort of Chen Wangfu, your wife! So do you think your refusal to save me today adds any glory to you or the Chen Wangfu?"

After saying this, Nie Jinxuan turned her head to glance at the livid Yin Fengzhan and walked away with her head held high... But at this moment, Yin Fengzhan, who had come to his senses, grabbed her.

"Nie Jinxuan, you stand still for me!" ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
