Zhen Kexin slowly squatted down with a fearful look on her face. Zihou lifted her up by her collar and gave her a tight slap to the face.
“This slap is for the little boy earlier on, for your disregard for human life!”
Afterward, she gave her three tight slaps on the face.
“These three slaps are for Zihou, for the times you bullied the weak!”
“You, you…” When Zihou mentioned “Zihou”, Zhen Kexin’s pupils dilated, and she looked at her with utmost shock, her red lips trembling. “You are… Wei Zihou?!”
She could finally recall what that creepy familiarity from earlier on was about. She had spent so much time with Wei Zihou, so she had to be extremely familiar with her features. Although Wei Zihou always had make-up on, she had also seen Zihou without it—she looked extremely different from her present self.
“No, you’re not her, she’s an idiot… how…” Zhen Kexin shook her head and opposed her own deduction. Although they looked alike, her sharp eyes and confident demeanor made it so that they were not the same person at all.
She understood Wei Zihou too well. That idiot’s eyes had always been flushed and would never look so bright and sharp.
She must have mistaken her!
“Sister Kexin, do you remember the lotus by the river?” Zihou curled her lips into a smile as she gazed at Zhen Kexin.
This unmistakably familiar tone caused Zhen Kexin to feel a sudden blow. The images from the past flashed past her eyes. That day, when something happened to Zihou, they had kept the news hidden and told outsiders that Zihou accidentally fell into the lake. Other than those who were present, no one else knew about Zihou jumping in to collect the lotus!
“Wei Zihou, you are… Wei Zihou?” Zhen Kexin’s eyes widened and her pupils dilated, her expression extremely remarkable.
No, she did not believe that ugly, dumb, silly trash could become so impressive and awe-inspiring. This caused her sense of superiority to drop. She felt like an ugly duck standing beside her, feeling like just another grain of sand!
Neither Zhen Kexin nor the people around could understand what was going on.
Who was Wei Zihou?
She was well-known to be a good-for-nothing. Not only was she born into a military family, but she was also an idiot who acted crazily. When she grew up, she also became really fond of the princes. Often, she got jealous when they interacted with other girls, sometimes even hitting them. Also, Wei Zihou was extremely ugly, and there was nothing redeeming about her.
Whoever gave birth to Wei Zihou probably would not be able to let her carry the bloodline on!
Wei Zihou was such a failure as a person!
Yet, she was to believe that this elegant, confident, strong, smart and kind lady in front of her was the stupid, perverse Missus who dropped into the lake and even got kicked by a donkey before?
This must be a joke?!
It was a dreamy situation amongst the masses.
Yet, Zihou’s next sentence, coupled with her smile, cemented the fact that she was who she claimed to be!
“Looks like Sister Kexin is not only hard of hearing but also dumb in the head with bad eyes. You can’t recognize me anymore after just some time!” Zihou’s lip curled up evilly, and she shook Kexin off her while standing up high and looking down at her.
Si~
Everyone looked at Zihou as if she was some strange creature.
This beautiful and strong lady was Miss Wei Zihou from the loyal military family!
Yet, who could explain to them why she looked so different from how she was rumored to be? If such beauty could be considered to be ugly, then everyone in the world must be really ugly. If such an elegant person could be easily infatuated, then everyone would be easily infatuated with each other. If such powerful skills could be considered to be good-for-nothing, then everyone was utter trash amongst rubbish!
The person who had spread the rumors better come over, we definitely will not beat you to death!
Zhen Kexin sat helplessly on the floor, her pretty features now swollen. She looked like a pig and could not be said to be pretty at all anymore. She had tears in her eyes and looked especially innocent. However, deep within them, flashes of evil and viciousness could be seen.
“Qi Shaoyang, let’s go.” After she had dealt with the helpless Zhen Kexin, Zihou’s laughter sounded like mockery.
It was not that she did not see Zhen Kexin’s murderous intent—she wanted to kill her terribly too. However, she could not kill Zhen Kexin as she had to spare a thought for her family. Luckily, she had other plans for Zhen Kexin to suffer for the rest of her life.
At that moment, Chang An Street had already been flooded with people who came to watch the commotion. Upon seeing Zihou walk over, they backed off to make way for her. After she left, this intense battle came to a close.
From today on, Wei Zihou would be well-known throughout the West Capital and would be the topic of discussion amongst the people.
Just a few days earlier, rumors about Chu Yixuan and Wei Zihou had spread throughout the entire city.
All of a sudden, Chu Yixuan’s gentle and warm image as a perfect gentleman was ruined. He was lecherous, shameless and vicious with his ways. Although once glorious, he was nothing but scum now.
As for Zihou’s impressive, brave and smart performance in Chang An Street, the comparison between Chu Yixuan and her made it so that his “grand image” was utterly ruined.
Chu Yixuan belonged to the Lin Wang Estate.
“Despicable!” Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Chu Yixuan angrily stood up with a dark expression.
Frowning hard, he looked evil. Images of Zihou slandering him appeared in his head once again, and he clenched his fist tightly. His veins popped, signaling his boiling anger.
“That damn woman, she had better not be caught by me, or I will make life extremely terrible for her!” Chu Yixuan slammed the table, crumbling it.
His subordinate kept his head low and did not speak such as to keep his presence unnoticeable.
How could he be so unlucky to be the one to report such bad news?
Looking at the debris from the table right beside his legs, the subordinate swallowed his saliva and broke out in cold sweat.
“Should I report the next item?” The subordinate kneeled, and it was clear from his face that he was in a state of distress…
