Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Chapter 445: Don’t Harm Your Future Happiness

Night Glow Empire, Imperial Palace.

When Shen Tang’s family was about to officially move into the palace, Song Fang brought the Beast Husbands along with Hu Yun and the others to enthusiastically help with the move.

In just a few days, they had set up the furniture and items inside the palace.

Last night, Shen Tang was taken back to the nest by Xiao Jin, and after a whole night of tossing and turning, she still hadn’t woken up by noon.

Xue Yinzhou glanced at the bright sun in the sky, strolled to Jia Lan’s palace, and looked at the outdoor pool in the backyard connected to the moat. Jia Lan transformed into his true form, swimming leisurely in the pool. A rare sense of envy and regret rose in his heart.

He wished he had dug a pool too.

Snake Beasts also love water.

"What exactly happened when we were away, how did the old house get burned down?" Xue Yinzhou asked, looking at Jia Lan lying by the shore, having forgotten to ask about this on the way back.

"That day, someone tried to assassinate Tangtang and Shen Li..." Jia Lan recounted the events in detail.

"Yiyuan Empire, Wu Family, I will remember this." Xue Yinzhou’s aura suddenly turned ice-cold and terrifying as he turned to leave.

"Hey! Wait, don’t be impulsive!"

Jia Lan hurriedly rushed out of the pool trying to stop Xue Yinzhou, forgetting he was still in mermaid tail form, and with a splash, he fell onto the shore, grimacing in pain. Just as he was about to say something, his Light Computer on his wrist suddenly vibrated with a message from an informant, "Tsk, the person who tied the bell must untie it. You don’t need to do anything; the Wu Family has already been punished."

Xue Yinzhou turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

Jia Lan casually picked up the white robe by the shore, draped it over himself, covering his long, white legs.

He forwarded the message from the Light Computer to Xue Yinzhou and said lazily, "Here, take a look, the latest news is that the Wu Family’s marriage has been annulled, their fief reduced, and they’ve been sentenced to ten years of exile at the border. This punishment is quite disgraceful for an aristocratic family."

He chuckled lightly, "Who would have thought that fox actually has some tricks up their sleeve. Even my mother wouldn’t dare to come down so hard on these aristocratic families; those pedantic old folks could drown you in their spittle just lecturing."

Xue Yinzhou didn’t understand the twists and turns between royal families and nobles, and still felt uneasy inside, thinking it won’t be settled unless they’re dead.

"Don’t be too impulsive. Now that the two nations are allies, the affairs of the Wu Family are internal matters of the Yiyuan Empire and have nothing to do with us. But if you charge in alone to kill, the nature of it changes, and those with ulterior motives could easily frame you as starting a war." Jia Lan hurriedly advised.

Xue Yinzhou furrowed his brow, but ultimately suppressed his murderous intent. Being Tangtang’s Beast Husband and an emperor’s beast husband, his actions could not be based only on his feelings; he had to consider the bigger picture for her sake.

Lu Xiao, handling matters at the Lu Family, also received the news.

Unexpected yet expected.

He had long had a premonition that this wedding might not go smoothly.

He just hadn’t expected it to end like this.

——The exile of the Wu Family caused a massive upheaval in the Yiyuan Empire.

Initially, the other four aristocratic families were very unhappy about the royal marriage and had often opposed the Wu Family in secret. If the marriage was successful, the Wu Family would certainly overshadow them; who would have thought the emperor would run away midway, leaving the bride at the wedding site, with the wedding not even completed.

The other four families were very pleased about it, thinking Wu Qing wasn’t loved by the emperor and that they could insert their own young females beside him.

But just as they were having their fill of joy, they heard the shocking news that the Wu Family had been exiled, with the emperor utterly disregarding any past engagement.

This terrified the other families, as it became clear that the emperor didn’t intend to take a wife.

The Nine-tailed Fox Clan already had few offspring, and the young females were treasures of the clan; how could they allow such humiliation, and risk their family’s involvement?
