Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Chapter 289: Still Wet Behind the Ears, and Trying to Flirt?

Shen Qingli’s pretty face turned red with anger and shame, "Don’t slander me! How could I do such a thing?"

The other party lazily replied, "Why not? You think Shen Tang stole your position, so you had to resort to this desperate measure to regain your status."

The young man was clearly someone who supported Shen Tang.

Shen Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked over, recognizing that this must be a young master of the Snow Mink Clan, seated next to the Family Head. She didn’t know his name, though he seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen and quite handsome.

The young man noticed Shen Tang looking his way, and immediately straightened his lazy posture, hurriedly tidying his clothes and hair, even winking flirtatiously.

"..."

Lu Xiao noticed this little interaction, his eyes darkened, and he unobtrusively stepped forward to block the view.

Xiao Jin crossed his arms, his golden eyes fierce, glaring back fiercely!

Where did this young pup come from, daring to flirt before he’s fully grown?

There are only five spots in the family, no more can be added.

Jia Lan saw a young and handsome male beast even younger than herself, and a sense of crisis arose in her heart. She suddenly felt that Shen Tang’s current brilliance had its downside—there were more wildflowers and weeds to guard against!

The young man, unable to see even a corner of the Princess’s clothes being blocked, pouted angrily. How could it be like this!

A bunch of old scallions, once His Highness selects concubines to expand the harem in the future, he will definitely squeeze his way in.

Shen Tang, however, didn’t notice these little actions of the beast husbands. She turned back leisurely to look at Shen Qingli, who had a difficult expression, and was in no hurry to speak, looking all the while like she was enjoying a good show.

As the young man’s words fell, several others began whispering in low tones.

Gradually, more and more people began discussing, and a commotion arose.

"...They just determined the heir, and rumors immediately started spreading—what a coincidence. Moreover, all the rumors target His Highness Shen Tang alone, which is hard not to overthink."

"Besides, don’t you think it’s strange? Every year there are many rumors, mostly baseless, but Shen Qingli has been so confident since she entered the door, immediately pointing at His Highness Shen Tang without a second thought. What gives her that confidence?"

"Yeah, I feel it’s not so much doubt as it’s trying to pin something bad on His Highness Shen Tang."

"Now that you mention it, the more I think about the things Princess Shen Qingli said, the more suspicious they sound."

"Could she really be the one secretly directing everything..."

"Rumors can destroy a person. This action is too despicable, the mind truly malicious."

Hearing these words, Shen Qingli was furious, feeling like her lungs would explode. She hurriedly tried to explain, but how could one voice overpower the hundreds present?

Her weak explanations were soon drowned in the voices of questioning and accusation.

The evidence was clear, Yun Han could not defend her.

Yun Han looked at Shen Qingli with dim eyes full of disappointment, ultimately not speaking up for her.

The beastmen spreading rumors were dragged out and executed per the Empire’s law.

Though no evidence was obtained, the cunning veterans of the council had experienced plenty of political battles; this minor trick was not sophisticated, and most people had already realized what was happening.

They just hadn’t expected that Shen Qingli, who always appeared perfect and kind in public, was such a person in private?

It’s truly about knowing the face, not the heart!

Previously, they had thought everything Shen Tang had done since her return was just a pretense. But now they saw that the real master of disguise was right in front of them all along!

Shen Qingli’s attempt to be cunning backfired, causing her reputation to plummet.

Back when she was captured by the rebel army, missing the chance to be an heir, many people had felt pity for her. Now that pity evaporated, and people only felt blame.

Those who had doubted Shen Tang due to the rumors felt deeply ashamed.

Soon, the truth of this matter was announced to the city, and the rumors quickly disappeared without a trace.

"By the way, why did public sentiment increase?" Shen Tang asked. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
