The group of officials quickly arrived outside the room of Lady Ning Qing.
They became even more suspicious of the situation when they saw that Ning Qing’s nanny was there.
Ning Qing’s nanny suddenly stood up and screamed, “What are all of you doing? The mistress is sleeping. She is a light sleeper and should not be woken up. You guys cannot enter.”
She had a flustered expression. It made the situation even more suspicious.
At that moment, a few of the members of the investigation team became elated. They fiercely pushed Ning Qing’s nanny aside.
They arrived at the front of Lady Ning Qing’s door and gave it a fierce kick.
“Thump!” The door was easily kicked open.
A dozen people swarmed into the room.
There was an exotic fragrance in the room. Clothes were strewn lazily around the floor. It fit the scene of a crime.
Out of the dozen people in the room, some were incredibly excited, some furious, while others were extremely agitated.
All of their faces turned red. They found it hard to breathe.
They looked toward the bed. They could see everything through the thin veil.
There were clearly two people on the bed. They were entwined tightly with each other.
Lady Ning Qing was having an affair with someone else. There was concrete evidence.
Some of the people were heartbroken. They even felt that their senses had been destroyed.
Oh, Lady Ning Qing. You were a goddess in our hearts.
Didn’t you cherish your body? Weren’t you a saint?
Not only did you hook up with someone else, but you chose to do it with an old and ugly beggar.
“Now we have concrete evidence. Ning Qing knows no shame and hooked up with someone. She is not fit to be the leader of the investigation team. Her report shall be deemed void.”
“Make the preparations. Ning Qing has committed the heinous crime of editing her report because of personal feelings and using her authority for personal benefit. Once we have concrete evidence, we’ll capture Ning Qing and send her to jail. We’ll bring her back to be tried by the Baronage Alliance.”
“As for Yun AoTian, get him to admit the schemes of the Valley of Torn Gust, then drag him along the streets with a piece of rope and parade him in public before stoning him to death.”
“Xiaomin, you can take action. Go flip over the blanket and show everyone Lady Ning Qing’s unsightly state!”
Two female warriors stepped forward and grabbed a corner of the blanket.
Everyone present held their breath as they awaited the shocking scene.
They were waiting to see the unsightly state of Ning Qing and Yun AoTian.
This was a historic scene.
The widow, Ning Qing, was finished.
The Legendary Talented Lady of the Land of No King was finished.
Her reputation was more important than her life. She had toiled for a dozen years without asking for any rewards to cultivate her reputation.
Now, all of that was going to be destroyed.
The insignificant beggar, Yun AoTian, was finished. He was destined to die without a place to be buried.
Jing Zhongyue’s City of Torn Gust was finished. They were destined to suffer the most severe of punishments.
“Open!” The two female warriors pulled off the blanket fiercely.
“Oh heavens, strike this shameless couple with your lightning.”
“Oh heavens, even you cannot cleanse the evil in this situation.”
“This is the ugliest scene in history!”
Everyone opened their eyes wide. They did not let anything escape their eyes.
But…
They all became dazed.
They could not believe their eyes.
Heavens, heavens!
Just what was going on?
Am I hallucinating?
First of all, the scene before them was truly shocking.
There were indeed two people under the covers.
However, the person hugging Ning Qing was a lady. It was not the old beggar, but a lady of unparalleled beauty.
Where was the beggar, Yun AoTian?
Where was he?!
It was a lady of unbelievable beauty. She looked innocent yet flirtatious. Her beauty hooked every one of their souls.
The two faces that were lined up on the pillow looked as alluring as a harmonious couple.
Furthermore, their sleeping postures were innocent. They looked perfect. They looked like two close friends sleeping on the same bed. Where was the indecency in that?
The young lady did not pale in comparison to Lady Ning Qing.
Her face of unparalleled beauty was one-in-a-million. Furthermore, she was younger and more flirtatious.
Many of the young men at the scene nearly succumbed to her beauty with just a glance.
Only the black-robed lady at the scene felt as though her brain had been split in two by a bolt of lightning.
This… What was going on?
Where had the old beggar, Yun AoTian, gone?
She was the one who had personally knocked him out and stuffed him into Ning Qing’s bed.
Why was he gone? Why was a young, lively beauty in his place?
What? What exactly was going on?
Was this a magic trick?
She could not help but look toward the middle-aged lady, Ning Qing’s nanny.
Weren’t you guarding the door all this time and monitoring the movements in the room? Didn’t you say that even a mosquito would not be able to fly into the room?
Then where did Yun AoTian go?
Where did the other beauty on the bed come from?
Ning Qing’s nanny was also shocked. It felt as though she had been struck by lightning.
She could not believe the scene she saw before her.
She had been monitoring the situation the whole time. How had the old beggar disappeared? And now there was a woman of unparalleled beauty there?
“Quick, search!” the black-robed lady said.
“Yun AoTian must be hiding somewhere in the room. We are going to find him, even if we have to dig three inches into the ground.”
Then, a few people started to search the room.
They searched every corner of the room.
However, they could not find Yun AoTian no matter where they looked.
The black-robed lady could not help but look toward the other woman on the bed.
She had never heard the saying, but she knew that after eliminating all the wrong answers, the remaining option would be the truth no matter how ridiculous it was.
This was what she was thinking now: Could that unbelievably beautiful woman be… Yun AoTian?
Thus, she took a step forward and was about to pull the woman out of bed.
At that moment, that beautiful lady woke up, seemingly groggy.
She looked at the people around her with her sleepy eyes.
She then abruptly covered her body with the blanket and let out a cry of shock.
“Who… Who are you people? Why did you barge into my sister’s room?”
This woman’s voice was too melodious. It was flirtatious, elegant, and more feminine than an average woman.
At that moment, even the black-robed lady became dazed. She tossed her ridiculous thoughts aside.
Even if Yun AoTian had managed to dress himself up as a woman, the appearance of the two people was too different.
The woman before them was more feminine than any woman in this world.
She did not have an Adam’s apple, and her skin was as clear as jade. More importantly, her voice was gentle and alluring. Even a normal woman would not be able to produce such a sound, much less a man.
She was definitely a lady.
“I am Sister Ning Qing’s god-sister. My father is a duke. Who are you people? Why did you barge into our room? I am going to be angry!” the woman said with a cold, arrogant tone. “I am going to tell my father about this when I get back. I am also going to tell Castellan Ning about this.”
F*ck!
She called Castellan Ning by name and not his title, ‘Lord Ning.’ Castellan Ning was the second greatest baron in the Land of No King, yet she did not have any shred of respect for him.
It was obvious that this lady was of an immensely influential background. She was most likely not only a noble from the Southern Zhou Empire, but also a duke there.
“Scram, scram… All of you scram.”
“Yes, yes, yes… We’ll get out immediately. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry no matter what.”
Who were the people who made up the investigation team?
A third of them had been bribed by the City of Washed Jade and the City of Autumn Waters.
A minority of them were bought over by the Valley of Torn Gust.
Another portion of them was secretly working for the Tantai Family.
There were also a few of them who were clean and innocent scholars. They were the kind of people who looked down on people, were incredibly stubborn, and held themselves in high regard.
Most of these people had been drawn by Ning Qing’s charm. They treated Ning Qing as their eternal goddess.
They heard that Ning Qing had hooked up with someone just now and that the person was an old and ugly beggar.
They had been dumbfounded. Some of them had been about to explode in a fury. They felt as though their view of the world had been flipped upside-down.
That was why they were the angriest of the bunch. They were excited to catch Ning Qing in the act.
However, they now realized that the person sleeping with Lady Ning Qing was a woman of unparalleled beauty. Not only that, but she was also the daughter of royalty.
At that moment, they felt as though their hearts were about to explode with joy.
It was fake. It was all fake.
Lady Ning Qing was still clean and virtuous.
She was still a saint without equal.
Our admiration was not wrong.
Our idol did not sink into depravity.
It was great!
However, just who was the woman sleeping by Lady Ning Qing’s side?
She was too… beautiful.
I feel as though I am about to fall in love.
No, I have already fallen in love.
Just as this group of people was about to walk out the door.
The young, beautiful lady suddenly said, “Wait a minute! I cannot let this matter slide like this. Why would someone be coming to catch an adulterous couple without reason? You people are trying to frame Sister Ning Qing and me. I have to get to the bottom of this matter.”
“Yes, yes, yes, we have to get to the bottom of this matter.” A good portion of the officials from the investigation team raised their hands in agreement.
How detestable.
They dared to slander our Ning Qing and say that she hooked up with someone. They almost caused our hearts to shatter.
We are not going to spare them.
“It’s her, it’s her…” A young official pointed to the black-robed female warrior and said, “It was this person who told us to come to catch Lady Ning Qing in the act.”
“Capture her, capture her…”
A bunch of people swarmed forward and immediately grabbed the black-robed lady. This was the person who had knocked Yun AoTian out earlier.
The young woman of unparalleled beauty said, “Get out, all of you. Go find a place with more space. Sister Ning Qing will personally judge you later. I do wish to see what kind of schemes are behind this and what the motives are. I wish to see which faction is trying to incite trouble. Not only do they want to destroy Sister Ning Qing’s reputation, but they also wished to ruin her life.”
Each of this lady’s sentence was like blades stabbing into the City of Autumn Waters and the City of Washed Jade.
Was the absolute beauty before them Yun Zhonghe?
Of course!
He originally already looked incredibly dashing. He even looked very flirtatious.
He would definitely be more feminine than an average woman when he dressed up as a lady.
He had a slender figure, no Adam’s apple, and had fair, delicate skin.
However, there were two areas where he might easily slip up.
The first was his demeanor, and the second was his voice.
However, these flaws vanished when he was possessed by Patient Twenty-Seven, the Ghost Bride.
Where could you find a more coquettish, alluring voice than the Ghost Bride’s?
Nowhere!
Where could you find a more flirtatious demeanor?
Nowhere!
She was not only a woman, but she was a great, flirtatious beauty who was one-in-a-million.
There were no flaws.
This was Yun Zhonghe’s plan. It was no wonder that Jing Zhongyue exclaimed that it was too perverted!
There was one risk, though. What reaction would Ning Qing have when she woke up and realized that Yun AoTian had dressed up as a lady and slept in the same bed as her? What reaction would she have when she found out that Yun AoTian had hugged her?
“Yes, yes, we have to investigate the matter thoroughly.”
“We have to investigate the matter thoroughly. We have to see whether the City of Washed Jade and the City of Autumn Waters have any deep, dark schemes or not.” A few of the officials who idolized Ning Qing, as well as the officials who were bribed by the City of Torn Gust, agreed loudly.
The counter-attack was officially underway under the guidance of the immaculate beauty, Yun AoTian.
This was the time for a counter-attack. Just me, Yun AoTian, alone was enough to reverse the situation.
Hahaha!
Hehehehe!
