Chapter 44: Narrow road encounters

Narrow road encounters

Because of the incident with Xiangcao last time, Aunt Wu and Nie Jinxuan had a grudge. Now that Han Luoxue had transferred her to her Shuyu Xuan, even if Han Luoxue explained it well, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Han Luoxue was winning over Aunt Wu to sing a different tune from Nie Jinxuan!

Moreover, Aunt Wu was someone by Yin Fengzhan's side, and being close to her would naturally indirectly receive Yin Fengzhan's favor. At the same time, Aunt Wu was the manager of the Houyuaner, and all the big and small matters in the mansion might rely on her in the future. Therefore, Han Luoxue's move could absolutely be said to kill three birds with one stone!

Han Luoxue's plan was well-calculated, but what no one expected was that Nie Jinxuan was not angry or annoyed, but instead pushed the boat with the current, and at the most critical moment, launched a counterattack!

In this way, Aunt Wu, who was once the manager of the Houyuaner, could only toss and turn in the one-third of an acre of Shuyu Xuan in the future. Even if she still had prestige in the mansion, it would not be as it was in the past! And weakening Aunt Wu's power was equivalent to weakening Han Luoxue's power in disguise, and at the same time, it wouldn't let Han Luoxue say a single word of 'no'!

So, upon hearing Nie Jinxuan say this, Han Luoxue was instantly stunned. The words she had prepared were stuck in her throat, unable to be swallowed or spoken. Qin Yuxia to the side opened her eyes wide, and even Bai Meilan couldn't help but size up Nie Jinxuan, her eyes full of disbelief.

For a time, the large room was silent. Several women stared at Nie Jinxuan, unable to speak. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan was not surprised. She glanced at Han Luoxue with her long, narrow eyes, and then stood up directly.

"Alright, Side Consort sister is unwell, so I won't disturb you anymore. Regarding Aunt Wu's matter, since Side Consort sister said so just now, then it is settled. Afterwards, I will have someone tell Steward Gu and have him find someone reliable in the mansion to replace Aunt Wu. So Side Consort sister, rest assured!"

Nie Jinxuan's tone remained neither warm nor cold. After saying this, she glanced at Qin Yuxia and Bai Meilan to the side, then turned and walked away. But just as she reached the door, she unexpectedly bumped into a tall and broad chest! Instantly, Nie Jinxuan was startled, looked up reflexively, and couldn't help but frown.

The person who came was Yin Fengzhan, who hadn't shown his face in the Wangfu for many days. At this moment, seeing Nie Jinxuan in front of him, Yin Fengzhan's eyes also flashed, but then his expression sank instantly.

"What did you come here for?"

Yin Fengzhan's expression didn't move, but his tone clearly carried questioning. So hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, who was still pent up with anger, instantly looked up and glared at him.

"None of your business!"

Deliberately lowering her voice, after saying this, Nie Jinxuan walked away directly. But just as they brushed past each other, she was grabbed by the wrist by Yin Fengzhan.

"Nie Jinxuan, don't push your luck! And don't take what I said that night as a joke!"

"Hmph! So what if I took it as a joke? I am courting death, if you have the guts, Yin Fengzhan, pinch me to death now!"

Raising her brows defiantly at the Yin Fengzhan in front of her, Nie Jinxuan laughed coldly.

"Pinch me?"

"You..."

"Not pinching? Then don't talk nonsense with me here!"

Not wanting to say another word to the man in front of her, after saying this, Nie Jinxuan pushed Yin Fengzhan away and walked away directly... But just as Nie Jinxuan had reached the courtyard and was only a few steps away from stepping out of Shuyu Xuan, she heard an extremely cold voice from behind.

"Nie Jinxuan, if you dare to step out of Shuyu Xuan today, I will break your legs!" ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
