The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Looking at the man holding her, Li Chan was filled with emotion. Perhaps this man was the one who would protect her.

"Oh, my dear son-in-law, my dear son-in-law, you've come!" Just as the two were deeply in love, the actor Wang Yun appeared, quickly walking up to Dian Wei and saying, "My dear son-in-law, what brings you here?"

"Wang Yun, you scoundrel! Why did you treat Chan'er like this!" Upon seeing Wang Yun emerge, Dian Wei stepped forward and questioned him. Dian Wei's murderous aura was unmistakable. How could Wang Yun, a scholar, withstand such a shock? If Li Chan hadn't hinted that he hadn't been exposed, Wang Yun would probably have been so frightened that he couldn't stand up.

Wang Yun quickly explained to Dian Wei that Ding Yuan had forced him into this situation, and he didn't know anything about it. He had just gone to handle some matters for Ding Yuan. Hearing Wang Yun's explanation and Li Chan's persuasion, Dian Wei's anger lessened considerably. He snorted coldly and said to Wang Yun, "I will still call you father-in-law for now! However, if I find out that you did anything to wrong Chan'er in today's events, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"My dear son-in-law, what are you saying? I truly knew nothing about this matter! I even introduced this to the Grand Tutor as my adopted daughter, who was already engaged to you, but who knew that the Grand Tutor..."

Wang Yun didn't say anything more after that. He knew the fire was almost extinguished, and now he just had to wait for Dian Wei to confront Ding Yuan. However, based on Wang Yun's understanding of Ding Yuan, he knew that Ding Yuan would not explain anything to Dian Wei. At that time, Wang Yun would have to use his acting skills to his advantage!

After Dian Wei left, Wang Yun said to Li Chan, "You'd better watch yourself! I will definitely keep my promise, but if you dare to expose this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Li Chan was heartbroken by Wang Yun's actions, and with Dian Wei's protection, she had no desire to say anything more to him. She gave Wang Yun a cold snort and then turned to leave.

Watching Li Chan's retreating figure, Wang Yun snorted coldly. She really thought she was something special. Wang Yun was also filled with murderous intent towards Dian Wei at this moment, but he did not dare to show this murderous intent in front of others. After everyone else had left, Wang Yun changed his clothes and quietly walked out of the back gate of the Sikong Mansion. No one knew where he went.

It turns out that Wang Yun, who had left quietly, had come to Dong Cheng's residence. Their purpose was actually to plot against Ding Yuan and Dian Wei.

They wanted to devise a story about Ding Yuan stealing his daughter-in-law, so that everyone could judge them.

The two discussed that it would be best to find someone to subtly leak the information to the Xiliang soldiers who were seeking pleasure in places like taverns and brothels.

“That would be best. Anyway, those Xiliang soldiers don’t particularly like Dian Wei either. This way, the conflict between the two sides will become even more prominent,” Dong Cheng said. “I just don’t know if Ding Yuan will explain the misunderstanding to Dian Wei.”

"Who is Ding Yuan? Would he explain to Dian Wei?" Wang Yun said disdainfully. "Ding Yuan is so arrogant now that he won't explain anything, and besides, I won't give Ding Yuan a chance to explain."

"Lord Wang is right. As long as we can hold out until tomorrow, we can pour some more hot oil on Dian Wei's volcano, and even if Ding Yuan explains, Dian Wei won't believe it."

“Yes, that’s right. Dian Wei’s surrender to Ding Yuan was not genuine. Although he became Ding Yuan’s adopted son, Dian Wei was really just Ding Yuan’s bodyguard,” Wang Yun said.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Overnight, the news of Ding Yuan and Dian Wei vying for a woman spread throughout Chang'an. From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone in Chang'an was talking about the two men fighting over a woman. When Ding Yuan heard the report from his subordinates, he was furious and ordered that anyone who dared to discuss it would be executed. He originally thought he could suppress the matter, but little did he know that it was precisely because of his order that the news was confirmed to be true.

For a time, the city of Chang'an was engulfed in turmoil. Ding Yuan had not summoned Dian Wei for two days, perhaps knowing that he was a little embarrassed to see Dian Wei at this moment.

Dian Wei was furious! He was furious that Ding Yuan, with so many beautiful women, was trying to steal his woman, and he was even more furious that Wang Yun, that old scoundrel, had spread the news. Dian Wei couldn't hold back any longer, so he led a dozen guards straight to the Sikong Mansion, intending to settle accounts with Wang Yun and, incidentally, take Li Chan home.

Upon hearing that Dian Wei had arrived, Wang Yun immediately came out to greet him. Unexpectedly, Dian Wei did not give him a friendly look and instead asked Wang Yun with a cold smile, "My good father-in-law, you are the one who spread the news in Chang'an, aren't you?"

Wang Yun was taken aback. Could it be that Dian Wei knew? No way, how could Dian Wei possibly know this? Wang Yun quickly thought for a moment, then used his acting skills to say to Dian Wei, "My dear son-in-law, I really have no arrogance. As you know, although I am the Minister of Works, this was all arranged by the Grand Tutor. I have no power at all. I truly knew nothing about this matter!"

"Hmph, you don't know? Who else but your people from the Sikong Mansion would know about this!" Dian Wei asked angrily.

"This……"

Seeing Wang Yun hesitate, Dian Wei sneered and said, "Speechless now? Speak! Are you trying to use me to sow discord between me and my godfather?" Dian Wei waved his right hand, drew his sword, and placed it against Wang Yun's neck. Cold sweat poured down Wang Yun's forehead, and he quickly said to Dian Wei, "My dear son-in-law, I really know everything! That day, it wasn't just people from my Sikong's mansion who were there; there were also the Grand Tutor's personal guards and attendants. This matter could have been leaked from anyone's mouth! It's possible that the Grand Tutor even tacitly approved of it."

Since things had already come to this, Wang Yun decided to go all in and risk it all, hoping that Dian Wei wouldn't overthink things.

"What did you say!" Dian Wei clearly heard Wang Yun's last words.

“My dear son-in-law, my dear son-in-law, think about it. What kind of person is the Grand Tutor? He would do anything for a beautiful woman. This matter might have been spread by the Grand Tutor himself, just to make you back down and give up your engagement to Chan’er,” Wang Yun said.

"Bullshit! How could my godfather be such a person?" Dian Wei cursed angrily, but anyone could hear the uncertainty in his words.

Seeing that Dian Wei had already taken his sword away, Wang Yun quickly said to Dian Wei, "Of course, this was just something I said casually. Perhaps someone is really trying to sow discord among us."

“No, I trust your father-in-law.” Dian Wei said dejectedly, “I had already spoken to my godfather before I came here. He didn’t say anything, just that I don’t need to explain what I do.”
