Getting along with Tianlan was much more comfortable. It was more straightforward, and they could talk frankly. In contrast, Shen Yunya’s every word left people guessing. She was shrewd and unfathomable. She could speak casually and make people fall into a trap.
Xi Lin had not understood it before but guessed that she did not like her because of it.
“It should be Big Sister with Jiang Ying and Princess with the Demon King. These would absolutely be the most suitable matches. Tragedy will be prevented in this way.” Shen Yunya put on an expression that showed that she thought this was the best for everyone.
Xi Lin looked up at Shen Yunya in surprise and said, “This… But she and the Demon King are already engaged. It’s not very nice, is it?”
She now finally understood that Shen Yunya wanted her to compete with Tianlan for the Demon King.
Thinking of it, Shen Yunya was really brazen. As her cousin, she had stolen Jiang Ying and caused Dai’er’s tragic death. Now that she had been reborn as Feng Tianlan after much difficulty and had found such a good protector in the Demon King, Shen Yunya was instigating a good childhood friend, trying to convince her to snatch him away…
Did she want Tianlan to suffer another double betrayal once again?
When Xi Lin thought about Shen Yunya’s duplicitous and yet I’m-going-it-for-your-own-good face, Xi Lin felt her stomach churn. She was disgusted and almost gagged. She hurriedly picked up her tea and took a sip to tamp down that feeling of nausea.
“Even though I don’t feel good about it, wouldn’t it be great to see love eventually find a way?” Shen Yunya caressed her belly and said with a happy and loving smile, “In fact, getting married and having children really requires the couple to be harmonious to be considered the happiest. Big Sister and Jiang Ying love each other, and Princess and the Demon King love each other. That is the best outcome.”
Looking at Shen Yunya’s happy and loving smile, the corners of Xi Lin’s lips could not help twitching as she said, “Even so, I still feel bad. Besides, the Demon King is bewitched by Feng Tianlan. Just leave it be.”
While saying this, Xi Lin really wanted to directly roar: What nonsense about the harmonious couple! Did Shen Yunya think that she was a fool waiting to be deceived?
“In fact, as long as Jiang Ying and Big Sister have some time alone together, she will come to understand her own heart. We will be able to avoid a tragedy for four people,” said Shen Yunya. She wore an expression of concern as she said, “Princess, you may not think of yourself, but you should at least think about Big Sister and the Demon King. After all, Princess, you have such a good relationship with Big Sister. You should think about her. Besides, the Demon King should not be completely in the dark. I believe, Princess, you also do not want any tragedy to happen.”
Xi Lin thought things over in silence. Did Shen Yunya want to make use of her to get Jiang Ying and Tianlan to spend time alone, and then plot to drug them with a love potion to catch them in the act?
Or she did not have to use a love potion at all. She just needed to let the public see them alone or to use an angle to show them in a compromising situation. Then it would definitely be over for Feng Tianlan and the Demon King.
Shen Yunya was too vicious. She wanted to make Tianlan suffer a double betrayal again. Her drive to completely crush Tianlan was simply more terrible than murder.
But it was an opportunity to gain information and evidence that could be used against Shen Yunya. Xi Lin could not miss it, so she looked at Shen Yunya with an uncomfortable look and said, “Will it work for them to just meet alone? Although I fought with her, we have been friends for more than ten years. I cannot hurt her.”
“Princess, if you don’t believe, you can watch from the dark the whole time. She is my Big Sister. How could I hurt her?” Shen Yunya said evenly.
Xi Lin was silent for a moment before she spoke haltingly, saying, “You go back first. I need to think about it.”
“I’m only thinking of Princess and my Big Sister. If, Princess, you do not wish to be the bad guy, then let me do it.” Shen Yunya appeared as if she was making a sacrifice for them.
