The maid who had just delivered the clothes now turned around and accused her of being the thief.
Indeed, even if bad people die and become ghosts, they are still bad.
Qing Yin was calmer than the maid, and said lightly.
"Miss, the evidence is here, do you have anything else to argue?"
Tang Xiao Min was no less determined; she would naturally oppose anything she hadn't done.
"I didn't steal it."
"Heh..." Qing Yin let out a contemptuous laugh.
"If you didn't steal it, how did my favorite dress end up with you? No matter how you argue, it's useless, you are a thief."
Tang Xiao Min truly could not bear such high praise.
"I didn't steal it, this maid gave it to me. If you don't believe me, ask her."
The maid immediately shook her head and denied it.
"What nonsense are you spouting? This is the Wang Fei's favorite dress. I usually wouldn't even dare to touch it. How could I possibly give it to you?"
"Wang Fei, she's caught red-handed and still trying to argue. It seems she won't confess without torture."
Now that the thief had been caught in the act, punishment was justified.
What woman in the world would be willing to share her husband with another?
Although Qing Yin was already the legitimate Wang Fei, deep down, she still couldn't tolerate the woman before her.
"Then what are you waiting for? Have the guards apprehend this thief."
As the Wang Fei spoke, a sly look appeared on the maid's face, and she quickly ran out to call the guards.
The cooperation between the mistress and servant was truly tacit.
If you want to make a scene, then let's make it a big one, Tang Xiao Min said defiantly.
"It seems no matter what I say, I can't avoid being taught a lesson."
"I truly admire your demeanor, Wang Fei."
Qing Yin said coldly, "Hmph, don't think that just because Chu Chen brought you back, you can be reckless. Today, I will let you know who is the rightful mistress of this palace."
Speechless.
Extremely speechless. Su Dan Novel Network.
For her, a modern person, to play palace intrigue with Qing Yin felt like bullying.
"Since that's the case, bring forth any means you have. Let me say this first, I won't surrender without a fight."
Qing Yin's gaze turned cold, and her hatred was reflected in her eyes.
"You have a tough bone, I'd like to see how it compares to the instruments of torture."
At this moment, several guards arrived at the sleeping quarters.
The maid said, "She stole the Wang Fei's dress. Quickly apprehend this thief and give her heavy punishment."
The guards stepped forward, one on each side, preparing to seize Tang Xiao Min and take her away.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao Min curled her lips into a smile and immediately attacked.
With one kick each, she sent two guards sprawling.
The remaining guards' expressions turned grave, and they lunged forward.
Bang bang bang!!!
The sound of loud slaps echoed, and instantly, several more guards lay on the ground.
"Ah! This..."
Qing Yin was stunned by what she saw. She never expected the woman before her to be so skilled in martial arts that she could easily defeat even the most elite guards of the Burn Hall.
After the shock, she looked at the woman before her again, her face unusually solemn.
"Good, I didn't expect you to be a skilled martial artist as well as a thief. No wonder you're so audacious."
"Xiao Tao, quickly go tell Chu Wang about what happened here."
"Yes."
The maid named Xiao Tao hurried out again.
She thought, with Chu Wang here, this annoying woman would surely not have a good ending.
Inside the sleeping quarters, the guards stood up again, aiming their weapons at Tang Xiao Min.
Qing Yin commanded, "What are you waiting for? Attack!"
Having learned from the previous encounter, the guards were more serious this time, their blows heavier, using almost all their strength.
Tang Xiao Min looked at Qing Yin coldly, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Today, she would show her what palace intrigue truly meant.
As quick as thought, the guards' weapons were upon Tang Xiao Min.
Bang bang bang!!!
After a few more muffled sounds, the silver spear in one guard's hand was pressed against Qing Yin's forehead.
It was Tang Xiao Min holding the spear.
With just a slight move, it would pierce Qing Yin's head.
Qing Yin stood still, not daring to move.
Even though she was terrified inside, she maintained a calm facade.
"If you dare touch me, you won't be able to leave here. If you're wise, put down your weapon and surrender."
"Heh..." Tang Xiao Min laughed mockingly.
"A prisoner has no right to order me around."
Qing Yin hadn't expected her to not fall for the trap; she was indeed not simple. No wonder Chu Chen brought her back.
"I thought you were just an ordinary woman, but it seems I misjudged you."
Tang Xiao Min remained silent. At this moment, commotion was heard from outside again; Chu Chen had arrived.
Seeing the scene in the sleeping quarters, Chu Chen was also incredulous.
Little Sweetie appeared harmless, sweet and lovely, but unexpectedly, she had these skills.
"Little Sweetie, put down the gun."
Tang Xiao Min obeyed Chu Chen's words, lowered the gun, and questioned him.
"So you have a wife. Why didn't you tell me before?"
She sounded like an innocent girl deceived by a married man, questioning Chu Chen with disappointment.
This question, however, stumped Chu Chen.
"I told you from the beginning that I brought you back to be my concubine. Of course, I have a wife."
"Heh..."
She laughed, her eyes filled with utter disappointment.
"You already have a wife, why did you come to bother me?"
"It's also my fault for not understanding your words, which led to this embarrassing situation. Let's just pretend we never met."
Saying this, Tang Xiao Min left gracefully, waving her sleeves, and disappearing like a cloud.
This, in turn, put pressure on Chu Chen.
Little Sweetie was sweet and cute, with a straightforward personality and strong abilities.
Such a diverse beauty immediately piqued his strong interest.
"Little Sweetie, don't go, listen to me."
Chu Chen chased after her, but Qing Yin grabbed him.
"Chu Chen, that Little Sweetie stole my Rainbow Flowing Fairy Dress as soon as she arrived. She is a thief with poor character."
Xiao Tao also hurriedly chimed in, "Lord Chu Wang, Wang Fei is telling the truth. She really stole Wang Fei's dress and didn't admit it. Moreover, she injured the guards."
Qing Yin appeared gentle, but Chu Chen, having been with her for many years, understood her thoughts all too well.
At this moment, with Little Sweetie's appearance, her uninhibited nature stood in stark contrast to Qing Yin's petty jealousy. Chu Chen found himself annoyed with Qing Yin.
He impatiently pulled his hand away.
"The Rainbow Flowing Fairy Dress was a gift from me to you. You've always cherished it and kept it safe. Little Sweetie just arrived here; how could she have accurately gone to your chambers to steal your dress?"
"Besides, I promised her that I would satisfy any request she had. There would be no need for her to steal your things."
His words were quite clear, almost directly accusing Qing Yin of framing her.
Hearing Chu Chen say these words, Qing Yin's heart ached.
Before she could speak, Chu Chen chased after her.
Xiao Tao said resentfully, "Wang Fei, Chu Wang went to chase that vixen. Why didn't you stop him?"
Qing Yin looked at Xiao Tao beside her indifferently.
"Kneel."
With a thud, Xiao Tao knelt on the ground.
Bang!
Qing Yin fiercely kicked Xiao Tao in the face.
"A mere maid dares to toy with me!"
"Come, drag her away and throw her into the grinding hell to be crushed!"
