Chapter 294 The Adulterer

“I don’t hate her at all,” He Yi said matter-of-factly. “I love Qin’er so much, how could I hate her?”

"Moreover, the reason I came to see Qin'er today is to ask her about it."

Chen Wan yelled, "Are you stupid?"

“That’s not right,” He Yi said. “You called Qin’er ‘sister’ yesterday, so why are you calling her by her name today? Were you lying to me yesterday? Is it because you and Qin’er don’t get along well at all?”

Chen Wan was taken aback. She was too anxious to pay attention to anything else. Trying to calm herself down, Chen Wan said, "I... I was just too anxious."

"Everything I told you yesterday was true, how could I lie to you?"

He Yi's suspicion disappeared, and she said, "I knew you and Qin'er were so close, you wouldn't lie to me."

"So I came here today to get to the bottom of this. It's good that Qin'er has a sister like you who cares about her."

Chen Wan's face darkened even more. She was thinking of Chen Qin's best interests, not her. She wanted nothing more than to kill her. But she needed to keep this person calm first. Besides, the prince's son was about to arrive and might be on his way in. If the two of them bumped into each other, all their efforts would be in vain.

As for having this person confront Chen Qin, that's even more impossible. Chen Qin is with her parents right now, and if they find out that things aren't entirely as she says, it would be terrible, even though it's true that Chen Qin is having an affair.

Chen Wan said, "But you're coming to see Sister Chen so openly. What if someone else sees you? Wouldn't your reputation be ruined? And the prince's son won't marry you."

"Why can't I come to see Qin'er openly and honestly? And why is Qin'er's reputation ruined if someone sees me looking for her?"

"Also, what does it matter to me whether the prince's son marries Qin'er or not?" He Yi pretended to be very puzzled.

Chen Wan almost suspected that He Yi was pretending to be stupid. The lover came to see the real woman, but the real woman's fiancé saw it. No man would not mind such a cuckolding affair.

“If you truly love your sister, then leave now,” Chen Wan said.

“No.” He Yi shook his head and said, “I came here today to see Qin’er, and I’m not leaving.”

If he leaves now, the show will fall apart. How can he leave?

“The prince’s son will also be here today,” Chen Wan said. “The prince’s son is outside. If he finds out about your affair, you will be in danger.”

He Yi asked, even more puzzled, "Why?"

"Qin'er and I are truly in love, and the prince's son certainly won't care."

"You!" Chen Wan almost wanted to curse, especially when she thought that if He Yi didn't leave soon, the two of them would likely run into each other, which would be troublesome.

Chen Wan said, "The prince's son will definitely care, and my sister is also engaged to him. Do you want something to happen to my sister?"

“I know,” He Yi said. “I also know that the prince’s son is coming today.”

"Then why did you come looking for her?!"

"I came precisely because I knew the prince's son was coming." After all, he was the prince's son himself, and he had to make sure this charade went smoothly.

Chen Wan choked on her words, gritting her teeth as she said, "Do you remember what you told me yesterday?"

This is completely different from what they agreed on yesterday.

“Of course I remember,” He Yi said.

"Then what do you mean by acting like this today?!" Chen Wan almost wanted to crack He Yi's head open and see what was going on.

If it were before, Chen Wan would have noticed something was wrong long ago, but today, because the prince's son was outside, Chen Wan was anxious and afraid that the two would bump into each other, so she acted impulsively.

"So now you're sure you want to see Chen Qin, right?"

“Yes,” He Yi said. “I came here today for Qin’er, and I will not leave until I see her.”

"Fine, fine, fine." Chen Wan laughed angrily. She glanced outside. Some time had passed, and if she didn't find a way to get He Yi away soon, it would be disastrous if the two of them bumped into each other.

She kept He Yi around to deal with Chen Qin after she lost her usefulness, but now, if she didn't find a way, let alone deal with Chen Qin through He Yi, it would be a problem whether Chen Qin's engagement with the prince's son could be maintained. The most important thing now is to get rid of He Yi.

A vicious glint flashed across Chen Wan's face as she said, "Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chen Wan called over a servant standing nearby and said, "You, get this person out of here now."

As luck would have it, the person Chen Wan called was the one who had gone to summon Chen Qin, and was ultimately punished by Chen Qin by slapping himself, resulting in his entire face being extremely red and swollen.

Hearing Chen Wan call his name, the servant was almost caught off guard. He paused for a moment before approaching and hesitantly asked, "Second Miss, are you calling me?"

“That’s right, it’s you,” Chen Wan said. “Get this person out of here.”

"Oh, and remember to tie him up so he can't make a sound."

The servant glanced at He Yi, then at himself, and swallowed hard. His intuition told him that he was no match for the man in front of him.

"This, Second Miss, are you really going to do this?" The servant was a bit far away and didn't hear the conversation between Chen Wan and He Yi, but from Chen Wan's unpleasant expression, he knew that He Yi must have upset Chen Wan.

The servant inwardly groaned again. What kind of luck did he have? First, he went to call for the eldest young lady today and was punished with a slap, almost losing his life. Now, the second young lady ordered him to tie someone up, but he couldn't tie the person she wanted him to tie up.

The servant pondered what to do. If he tied him up, the man might kill him; if he didn't, the second young lady might kill him on the spot. Whether he tied him up or not, he was doomed.

However, no matter how arrogant this person is, he probably wouldn't dare to kill someone openly in the manor. The second young lady is different. The second young lady has a much worse temper than the eldest young lady. If he doesn't obey the second young lady's orders now, he will die immediately. The servant quickly made a decision in his mind. Seeing Chen Wan's increasingly impatient expression, the servant said ingratiatingly, "Second young lady, please wait. I will catch this person who has made you unhappy right now."

"Hurry up, or I'll sell you out if you delay my business."

The servant dared not delay any longer and went towards He Yi. The servant had followed the Grand Elder for a long time, and being able to follow the Grand Elder for so long, his skills must be quite good. He Yi looked like a weak and useless person. After all, a strong person wouldn't be blind enough to take a liking to Chen Qin. Apart from his face, Chen Wan couldn't tell anything about He Yi's skills. She thought it would be easy for him to tie up He Yi, but she didn't expect that before he even got close to He Yi, he was sent flying by He Yi, his body flying in a straight line.
