Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574: Chapter 536: He Really Is a Crafty Fox! (Part 3)

"The citizens of the Sea Country naturally trust Jia Lan. Even if you were to expose it as Liu Ye’s conspiracy and bring up his second personality, the people simply wouldn’t believe it. They’d just think you’re spewing nonsense and making baseless accusations, making you seem even more suspicious."

Shen Li sorted out the details and analyzed them one by one, "You don’t need to deliberately prove your innocence. If anything, that would trap you further in their snare. You only need to clear yourself of any involvement in the Emperor’s kidnapping. In fact, you can use this to turn yourself into a sympathetic victim."

Shen Tang blinked, listening to him continue.

Shen Li, seeing the little female looking at him with admiration, shyly touched his straight nose and went on, "The only concrete evidence Liu Ye has to accuse you is your simultaneous disappearance with Emperor Jialouluo and that you were the last person to see him before he vanished."

"And these gaps are precisely where you can exploit."

"You can redirect the blame too, find a suitable scapegoat. For example, put the blame on the Deputies." Shen Li crafted a new story for her, "Those Deputies had ulterior motives and intended to kidnap the Sea Emperor for leverage, and by chance, you were also caught there."

"Later, even though you managed to escape, you were isolated and powerless to rescue the Emperor."

"Moreover, you can accuse that there are insiders among the Deputies within the palace, ensuring your safety by not heading recklessly to the Sea Country Palace."

"In this way, even if you don’t attend this perilous banquet, you have a valid reason, and you can redirect the investigation towards the more suspicious Deputies, thus naturally clearing yourself."

"Next, Liu Ye, to quell the public doubt, must thoroughly investigate the palace and has to offer up a scapegoat, at least for the short term, preventing him from troubling you further."

Shen Tang listened, dumbfounded, her eyes shining, thinking: Truly, he’s a cunning fox! His scheming truly is impressive!

"How do you find my plan?"

Shen Tang nodded repeatedly, "Very good!"

Shen Li gently pinched her chin, pecked at her overly luscious lips, as though it were his reward.

He continued, "But after all, this is merely a temporary fix, not a permanent solution."

"In my opinion, you must attend this perilous banquet."

"Ah, isn’t that akin to seeking death?" Shen Tang shook her head. She had no desire to go; that despicable mermaid clearly harbored no good intentions toward her.
