As she was about to be dragged off, Lin Yutong turned to Si Yi, pleading, “Your Highness! Please save Tong’er, Your Highness…”
Chapter 33: Partiality
Si Yi looked down at her coldly, his pupils filled with disgust.
Now, he finally saw Lin Yutong’s true nature. Initially, he had mistaken her for the kind-hearted little county princess he knew, but later realized his error after hearing her speak ill of Ning Wanwan. This led him to believe Ning Wanwan was jealous and vicious, thus developing a prejudice against her. Only then did he recognize that all of this was manipulation by Lin Yutong.
Despite not killing her being a great mercy, Lin Yutong still expected him to rescue her. Observing Si Yi’s cold demeanor, she understood he would not come to her aid.
Upon learning that Ning Wanwan would attend the polo match, Lin Yutong secretly bought irritating powder and followed her to the polo field. Aware that Shaoyin despised Ning Wanwan, Lin Yutong rubbed the powder into Shaoyin’s horse’s tail. She planned for the horses to clash, causing the powder to enter Ning Wanwan’s horse’s nose. In front of everyone, if Ning Wanwan’s horse attacked Shaoyin’s, it would make her appear vicious and jealous, tarnishing her reputation throughout Biandu City.
If Ning Wanwan’s horse trampled Shaoyin to death, she would be branded a murderer, causing a rift between Ning Guo Mansion, Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and the Empress.
Si Yi had abandoned her for Ning Wanwan, leaving her devastated after trying hard to gain his affection. She couldn’t let them be together.
Despite her planning, a mysterious woman emerged and saved both Shaoyin and Ning Wanwan, but then fled, fearing exposure.
Although she had left the polo field, strong men suddenly appeared and captured her in a sack. No matter how she calculated, she couldn’t escape fate.
Even facing death, she wouldn’t let Ning Wanwan off easily. She turned to her, crying: “Dear sister, I know you love me most. Please save me. I promise I’ll never be impulsive again…”
Ning Wanwan stood motionless, slightly furrowing her brow.
The Empress, concerned Ning Wanwan might plead for Lin Yutong, subtly reminded: “Yunxiang, those who are soft-hearted cannot accomplish great things!”
