Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"Ah~"

With a sharp roar, a furious Zhou Ruifen lunged at Yu Shuyan.

"You dare hit me? How dare you hit me? I'll beat you to death!"

Yu Shuyan grabbed her hand, which was about to slap her face.

No matter how she pulled, she held on tightly, staring coldly at her:

"Don't be ungrateful, I'm trying to help you!"

Zhou Ruifen struggled for a long time, but seeing that she couldn't free her hand, she finally stopped. She was so angry that her whole face was contorted, and her voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth:

"You hit me, but you say you're helping me?"

Yu Shuyan flung her hand away, watching her stagger back several steps, still glaring at her angrily.

Yu Shuyan also feigned anger and said:

"Of course I'm helping you. If I hadn't slapped you and interrupted you, have you considered the consequences if you had said what you were about to say!"

Zhou Ruifen was taken aback, only then realizing that she had indeed acted impulsively.

Previously, even though people had guesses, her feelings for Wen Lang were just that—guesses. Although they might discuss it privately, it was impossible for them to bring it up in public.

Although her reputation might be damaged, there are plenty of people in these prestigious families who are willing to deceive themselves, so there is still a sliver of a chance for her to marry into such a family.

However, if she had actually said those words, she would have had absolutely no chance to deceive herself.

However, she was not grateful to Yu Shuyan because she did not want this opportunity.

Because the only person she can marry is Wen Lang.

However, overwhelmed with anger, he couldn't find the words to refute her.

Wang Ziyue was secretly delighted; Zhou Ruifen's reputation was completely ruined. Now, let's see how she can still act so arrogantly in front of her.

So, the next step, naturally, is to deal with Yu Shuyan.

Her eyes flickered, and she spoke directly:

"Stop pretending to be a good person. It was clearly Miss Zhou who touched a nerve, which made you angry and you started hitting her. And yet you have the audacity to say you were doing it for her own good. You've really opened our eyes."

Seeing her still trying to sow discord at every opportunity, Yu Shuyan's eyes were full of sarcasm:

"I am a peasant woman, I am unsophisticated. But I would never be like you, so opportunistic and two-faced."

Sweet words masking a treacherous heart. On the surface, they claim to be someone's closest confidante, treating them with genuine sincerity; in reality, they can't stand to see her doing well, and more than anyone else, they hope her reputation is completely ruined!

Fear flashed in Wang Ziyue's eyes. How could this woman know the secret she kept hidden in her heart? Reflexively, she looked at Zhou Ruifen and met Zhou Ruifen's furrowed, probing gaze.

Suddenly, he became anxious and hurriedly waved his hand, saying:

“Ruifen, don’t listen to her nonsense. You know how I’ve treated you all these years. This woman is malicious; she’s just trying to sow discord and is talking complete nonsense.”

"Oh, really? Are you sure I'm trying to sow discord?"

Yu Shuyan made no attempt to hide her sarcasm, her voice laced with mockery.

Wang Ziyue suddenly looked at her, suppressing her anger and anxiety, her eyes filled with tears, appearing so fragile and aggrieved:

"I don't think I offended you. It's just that I accidentally ruined your plans. And it's also because I warned Ruifen not to fall into the trap you set. Is this how you just spout nonsense and make baseless accusations like this?!"

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears that kept rolling down her face. She looked so weak, helpless, and pitiful.

This caused some young men to look at Yu Shuyan with even greater disgust.

Yu Shuyan noticed these gazes and thought to herself, "Sure enough, men all fall for this." Her voice was full of sarcasm:

"Remind her? Ha, how could you say that? When she blushed shyly because of my husband, and everyone was watching her, you didn't remind her; when she carelessly revealed her interest in a married man, you couldn't hide the schadenfreude in your eyes; when she was reprimanded by Prince Yongle, your eyes were full of pleasure. Ha, I really want to know, is this what you call thinking of her?"

A flicker of panic crossed Wang Ziyue's eyes.

She never imagined that this woman would have time to observe her expression and eyes.

Isn't she targeting Zhou Rui's fans? Why are you focusing on her gaze?

However, they quickly realized what was happening.

He glanced at her, his suspicion deepening, and his gaze turned cold as he stared at Zhou Ruifen.

Suppressing the terror in her heart, tears streamed down her face as she clutched her chest, staring at Yu Shuyan with a heartbroken expression.

"You...you...talking nonsense. Ruifen is my best friend, why would I treat her like this?"

A smile flashed in Yu Shuyan's eyes:

"Why~ Hehe, how should I know? You'll have to ask yourself!"

The more she acted this way, the stronger the suspicion in Zhou Ruifen's eyes became.

Wang Ziyue looked at Zhou Ruifen with a wronged expression, her voice filled with barely suppressed panic:

“Ruifen, don’t believe her. This woman is just trying to sow discord. You absolutely must not believe her.”

Zhou Ruifen, however, stared coldly at her for a long while, clearly harboring suspicion towards her. Her voice was icy:

"We'll talk about your matter later."

Wang Ziyue's eyes suddenly darkened, and she lowered her gaze to conceal the resentment and coldness spreading in them.

Zhou Ruifen didn't care what she was thinking. Instead, she turned to look at Yu Shuyan and sneered:

"Don't try to sow discord and distract us here. Let me tell you, no matter how you struggle, you can't escape the suspicion that you forged the invitation and were trying to infiltrate the Prime Minister's residence."

"They claim to have evidence, but they're just dodging the issue; it's utterly despicable."

As he spoke, he hurriedly looked at Gong Xicheng:

"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Arrest her immediately!"

Gong Xicheng's chubby face darkened, and he let out a snort:

"Are you... ordering me around?"

Zhou Ruifen was startled and realized who she was talking to.

Gongxi City's absurdity is common knowledge.

Previously, he had simply made a careless remark about a courtesan saying that he was broad-minded and plump, and then forcibly dragged her out of the Red Chamber and beat her to death.

They didn't even leave him a complete corpse.

Zhou Ruifen shivered involuntarily and took a few steps back in fright.

Seeing her like that, Gong Xicheng gave a disdainful snort, turned to look at Yu Shuyan, his voice full of impatience:

"Alright, enough talk, where's the evidence? Show it to me now!"

Yu Shuyan nodded, her voice carrying a cautious, obsequious tone:

"Your Highness, my evidence requires Miss Wang's cooperation. Please see~"

Gong Xicheng was quite satisfied with her flattery. Although he didn't know what she was up to, he still looked at Wang Ziyue impatiently.

"She told you to cooperate, so just cooperate. Stop talking nonsense!"

Although Wang Ziyue was unwilling, she had no choice but to comply with Gong Xicheng's orders.

She gave a slight curtsy, still maintaining her polite and gentle demeanor.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

However, a hint of ruthlessness and hesitation flickered in his lowered eyes:

What exactly does this bitch want?
