All Chapters of The Tale of A Villainess (Completed): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

With the case solved, I return back to the Yuan Manor while General Li and Sir Xu report to the Emperor about their findings.Upon hearing about General Yu Hao's futile attempt to hide hundreds of bags of Millets, the Emperor becomes infuriated. He immediately imprisons the General, carrying out a death sentence.

It has only been a day after Xi Ning's wedding.And so..How did this happen?

Sir Xu's gaze rests vacantly at Rong Yi, then deliberately at me. "How do you know I won't take responsibility for her future?"Ah, this smooth talker—I wiggle my arms from both of them, "Excuse me, has anyone ask for my input? These arms belong to

We end up having the brocade-clad guards bury the little boy's mother and his infant sister. A melancholic feeling rests within me as I watch the little boy combat his tears. "Mother said big boys don't cry."His name is Wan Xiao Liang, a seven year old boy who lived with his mother. She was pregnant with his little sister and recently gave birth. Due to the unhealthy water supply and inadequate food, his little sister Wan Yan Yan was born weaker and more fragile than the average baby.

A transparent floral garland drapes over the bed. The room is deliberately decorated beautifully with wooden furniture, with embellishments adding to its vibrancy."Sir Xu, I never thought you were this type of person," I say."Zi Yan..?" He pauses, "What are you doing—"

The next day, Xi Ning returns with the Seventeenth Prince to visit the Manor. Although they looking like a mesmerizing pair, I notice that there seems to be something strange about Xi Ning. Seeing Madam and Master Yuan bow politely to the Seventeenth Prince and his wife, I swiftly mimic their movement. The Prince pardons us, taking a seat on the guest seat. He asks the same of us.

"Tenth brother!" yelps the seventeenth prince, who continues, "What brings you here?"Master Yuan coughs, "Tenth Prince! This Master does not know you were coming to visit us today."The words faintly pass through Yuan Zi Yan's ears, yet she does not have the energy to react whatsoever.

I spend the next few days healing my buttocks.At the moment, Xi Ning is bringing me some fresh fruits. She tells me stories about how the Seventeenth Prince has a strange fetish, how he enjoys to inflict pain over her. She shows the scars on her body, causing me to shake my head in despair."Po
