My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1971: Saying a Kind Word Would Kill You

Moreover, I’ve underestimated that girl. Her background is probably fake, right?

What kind of commoner from Yalan Country could know the son of the Councilman of the Aus Empire? So, her records were erased by someone. Her true background is likely deeper than it seems.

Also, just now, Ling Kong’s attitude towards her was truly intriguing!

Fengye Ningyuan rubbed his chin. He certainly understood the love between men and women more than that kid Wuyin. For a calm and proud man to be so furious and publicly do something as improper as snatching a woman, it proves that Ling Kong’s feelings towards that girl are probably quite complex.

Yiyi, what kind of charm does this girl have that could make her son change for her and also cause the Councilman’s son to become so irate for her?

Even Fengye Ningyuan couldn’t help but feel a strong curiosity about her.

However, he was a rational and clear-headed person. After thinking it over, he felt that Yiyi might be trouble, and her presence might not be very useful. Even if Wuyin genuinely liked her, it wasn’t a good match.

They’re not even married yet, and her love life is already so complicated, having already attracted the wrath of a Councilman’s son. If they were to marry, who knows, maybe a string of powerful figures would come to snatch her away one by one. A wife with so many admirers is truly too much to handle.

"General, the tasks you arranged for us are almost done." A man in civilian clothes, wearing a hat and appearing low-key yet mysterious, entered to report to Fengye Ningyuan.

Fengye Ningyuan’s face turned serious, his eyes sharp and intense: "Have the weapons been removed from the military academy?"

"Yes. As per your instructions, they’ve been secretly transported and relocated to another place. Following your orders, they’re under tight security, with additional soldiers deployed. It’s absolutely airtight, giving no one the chance to infiltrate or steal."

Fengye Ningyuan’s gaze deepened, shining with a peculiar sharpness as his lips curled into a sinister smile.

Today, he had invited all the foreign envoys with a purpose. The second task was this: using the appearance of the mysterious woman Yiyi to divert everyone’s attention, while covertly executing this plan behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, his attempt to push away the troublesome Yiyi like a hot potato ended in failure.

Hence, this second intention must not fail.

"Very good. Go investigate who among the guests attending the banquet tonight left early!"

After speaking, he grabbed a glass of wine and drank it all in one go.

This was a circuitous and convoluted scheme, where truth appeared as falsehood and falsehood as truth, sufficient to trap many into falling into its depths.

...

"Thank you for helping me tonight; otherwise, I would have been sold to that fat guy." Yiyi knew that Fengye Wuyin and his father were not on the same side, so she was quite grateful for him stepping in to help her.

"No need to thank me. I didn’t do it for you. I just wanted to piss him off. Doing things that displease that old man is something I delight in doing, so don’t flatter yourself. I absolutely did not do it for you."

Fengye Wuyin turned away awkwardly, his tone harsh.

"..." Yiyi felt a black line forming. Could this person not say a kind word? Despite everything, he did save her, yet he had to make her sense of gratitude vanish completely. What good does that do him?

Nevertheless, regardless of everything, his appearance at that critical moment saved her from danger and averted a disaster. In her heart, she was still grateful to him.
