My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

"Yaoyao, please don\'t blame Qing. Indeed, she was the one who invited you to come with them, but weren\'t you the one who lost your way and parted from their company? But it\'s a good thing someone found you. Else, Qing and Uncle would be worried about your safety," Su Yin told Shen Minyao.

The fox woman was so disgusted by this cheating couple. In her eyes, Su Yin and Shen Qing were both shameless for even showing up together in front of the person they both wronged. Weren\'t they the reason why her host lost her life? Yet, Shen Qing dared to come here, playing her role as a white lotus very well.

"I see, Brother Yin is still very kind towards my Qing Jie. What about me, Brother Yin? Are you forgetting that I\'m still your fiancée, not her? Why aren\'t you good to me? Could it be that the Su family look down on my Shen family now that my father is facing a problem?"

Su Yin flinched at that while Shen Xin\'s face darkened at the thought of being looked down on by the Su family. While it\'s true that he was having some issues at work and his younger brother\'s influence was flourishing within the Jiang City, the second son of the Su family was still betrothed to his first daughter, Shen Minyao.

"It\'s not that I\'m favoring her, Yaoyao. I\'m also worried about your safety."

Su Yin was a little confused. He felt like something was wrong with Shen Minyao. He thought it might be because he came with Shen Qing, and Shen Minyao was being jealous of her. Furthermore, he revealed an understanding smile and said in a gentle tone.

"Yaoyao, no matter how angry you are, you shouldn\'t make false accusations."

"False accusations? Brother Yin, it is true that Qing Jie was the one who picked me up from my dormitory—everyone had seen her. She also knew about my fear of being left alone in the dark, and yet she was the one who purposely let go of my hand. So tell me, Brother Yin, tell me why would Qing Jie do such a thing?"

Su Yin opened his mouth, but no words came out. He wasn\'t sure of what he had seen. Shen Minyao, who had always been obedient to him—who always looked at him with admiration and longing, was now looking at him with unconcealed disgust but also hatred.

Shen Minyao looked at him as if she wanted to strangle him to death!

The fox woman refused to admit defeat though and continued her impeccable acting. Although she despised looking weak in front of other people, she cannot let this white lotus to let of her crime easily.

She looked at Shen Qing with the same expression Shen Minyao had when she was still alive, far from the arrogant facade she showed to General Shen. For those who could see her right now, it looked like she had suffered grievances and had broken down in tears as helplessness washed through her.

\'Shen Qing, do you think you are the only one who knows how to deceive people?\'

Shen Qing might have able to bully Shen Minyao in the past, but it didn\'t mean she would be able to do the same to the fox woman. The two had different personas, and it was Shen Qing\'s misfortune for the fox woman to possess the person she had just killed.

Shen Minyao would never return; even on her last breath, she was filled with so much resentment in her life. For the fox woman who died unjustly at the hands of her beloved, how could she not understand her host\'s past grievances?

Abandoned by her birth mother, rejected by her father. The only people who truly cared about Shen Minyao weren\'t even blood-related to her. Unlike other stepmothers who were vilified by people, Cheng Lifan took care of her as if she was hers.

Cheng Lifan didn\'t dare to hide her anger towards Shen Qing when she heard what her stepdaughter said. She pulled Shen Minyao into her arms and glared at Shen Qing and Su Yin. How could she not know what these two doing behind her stepdaughter\'s back?

She had warned Shen Minyao about Su Yin, but the young woman was completely smitten by him so Cheng Lifan couldn\'t do anything.

"Shen Qing, you know our Yao\'er is afraid of the dark. Why did you force her to join you for hiking? What were you thinking?" She scolded the scheming young woman, upset that she wasn\'t able to protect Shen Minyao this time. There was no way Shen Minyao would accompany her cousin if she knew where they were going.

"A-Auntie, that\'s not my intention at all. It\'s my fault that I didn\'t pay more attention to Yaoyao and lost her." Shen Qing wept pitifully, much to the fox woman\'s disgust.

"Enough of this. Lifan, you look after Yao\'er, and you better make sure to remind her not to cause trouble next time." General Shen huffed and shot Su Yin and Shen Qing a fierce glare before storming out of his daughter\'s room. He was aware that his daughter was wronged this time, but he wouldn\'t even protect her from the outsiders. Sadly, Shen Minyao was already used to it.

The fox woman had seen from her host\'s memories what kind of life and childhood she had growing up. Shen Minyao was not close with her father, and while it was true that Cheng Lifan became her stepmother due to some arrangements the Cheng family insisted on her, she had been Shen Minyao\'s mother figure.

"Auntie, I really didn\'t…" Shen Qing continued her act and clung to Su Yin\'s arm.

Shen Minyao grabbed the pillow on her bed and threw it right on her cousin\'s face.

"Get out! I don\'t want to see you! This pair of cheating couple!" She yelled, much to Shen Qing and Su Yin\'s shock. Both wondering since when did she know. "I will let Grandfather what you did to me and tell him to cancel our engagement!"

Su Yin\'s face blanched while Shen Qing cursed Shen Minyao repeatedly in her heart.. It wasn\'t a secret that Grandfather Shen doted on Shen Minyao the most.
