Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 324 - 83: Ready for Revenge? Just a Flea on a Dog’s Back
But that’s all there is to it.
So when Ye Liuyun suggested a change of plans, Shu Fan had no intention of refusing.
"It’s simple. Everything else stays the same, but the content of the illusion needs to change!"
As he spoke,
Ye Liuyun grinned, the corners of his mouth curling up in a faint smile.
Shu Fan wasn’t stupid.
Hearing Ye Liuyun say that, and seeing that kind of smile, she immediately guessed—he must be planning to screw someone over.
Realizing this, the corners of Shu Fan’s mouth also curved into a smile.
"So what do you want to change it into?"
On this topic, Shu Fan had to admit: she and Ye Liuyun were birds of a feather.
They both loved setting traps for people!
"Do you know Marquis Rong’gong?"
"Nope. Who’s that?"
Shu Fan shook her head decisively. Marquis Rong’gong was somewhat well-known in the Imperial City.
But Shu Fan didn’t live in the Imperial City, so naturally she hadn’t heard of him.
"Just someone I can’t stand."
"I see!"
Hearing Ye Liuyun say that, Shu Fan’s expression turned understanding.
She got it instantly.
This must be the person Ye Liuyun wants to frame tonight.
"Doesn’t matter if I don’t know him. I’ll get you a portrait later!"
"When the time comes..."
With that, Ye Liuyun was about to explain the next steps of the plan to Shu Fan.
But before Ye Liuyun could continue, Shu Fan raised her hand and cut him off.
"No need, I get it already. Framing and shifting blame, right? I’m quite practiced at this sort of thing! No need to worry—just leave it to me!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t even need to spell out the plan.
Shu Fan could easily imagine all sorts of ways to frame someone—she’d pin the assassination of the Dynasty’s envoy right on that Marquis Rong’gong.
Seeing how assured Shu Fan looked,
Ye Liuyun had no reason to doubt.
If she couldn’t handle at least this much, Shu Fan wouldn’t have earned the nickname "witch."
"As long as you’ve got the idea. Still, there are a few places where I’ll need you to work with me."
After all—
The one who truly wants revenge is Feng Feiyi. If Feng Feiyi doesn’t actually get to do anything, then even after revenge, it won’t feel satisfying.
Then Ye Liuyun told Shu Fan a few things that needed to be done.
Shu Fan nodded along as she listened.
Then she answered seriously,
"Don’t worry, this sort of petty thing—leave it to me. No problem at all!"
Next to them, Ye Qinzhen,
seeing how things were playing out, spoke up too.
"I’ll help as well!"
A long time ago, Ye Qinzhen wanted to repay Ye Liuyun, but never got the chance.
Now, finally, she had an opportunity to help. Even if her strength was weak,
Ye Qinzhen wanted to do everything she could for Ye Liuyun.
"Alright!"
Noticing the determined look in Ye Qinzhen’s eyes, Ye Liuyun didn’t refuse her.
Instead, he nodded in agreement.
"Then from now on, you stick with Shu Fan and let her assign tasks to you."
"Alright!"
Ye Qinzhen didn’t object.
When it comes to plotting, Shu Fan really is cleverer and more capable than she is.
...
Early the next morning,
After arriving at the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Ye Liuyun called Feng Feiyi over.
"Lord!"
Once she arrived,
Feng Feiyi immediately bowed respectfully.
Ye Liuyun wasn’t much for formalities, but if others wanted to follow protocol, he wouldn’t stop them.
Once Feng Feiyi straightened up, Ye Liuyun spoke directly.
"Ready to take your revenge?"
"!"
Hearing that, Feng Feiyi was stunned at first.
Then, realizing what he meant, she grew excited, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Liuyun.
"Please teach me, Lord!"
Seeing Feng Feiyi stay clear-headed even when delighted, Ye Liuyun nodded approvingly.
He then laid out his plan for Feng Feiyi.
"Hiss!"
After hearing Ye Liuyun’s plan, Feng Feiyi couldn’t help but gasp.
If this really works, then Marquis Rong’gong probably wouldn’t even know why he was killed—right up to his dying breath.
No wonder Ye Liuyun is the Lord.
If it were up to her own ideas, even after years, she’d never come up with something like this.
"What’s wrong, getting cold feet?"
Seeing Feng Feiyi stunned into silence, not answering,
Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, of course not!"
Realizing what he meant, Feng Feiyi quickly raised her head and shook it firmly at Ye Liuyun.
Though she used to be kind-hearted, after all she’s been through, Feng Feiyi knew very well: when it’s time to be ruthless, don’t hesitate.
Especially in times like these, kindness doesn’t guarantee survival.
So, meeting Ye Liuyun’s gaze, Feng Feiyi answered seriously,
"I won’t let you down, Lord!"
"Mm."
Ye Liuyun nodded, then waved her away, signalling Feng Feiyi could leave.
Once Feng Feiyi had gone, Ye Liuyun finally withdrew his gaze.
Just now’s exchange was actually a kind of test. If Feng Feiyi really was someone with overflowing kindness, then no matter her talent or ability, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t keep her around.
Who knows—
With subordinates like that, someday her conscience might act up and sabotage his whole plan.
Fortunately, from how things looked now, Feng Feiyi seemed quite reliable.
