I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 634

Chapter 634: Chapter 242: This pancake is poisoned! Zhixia breaks down! (Thanks to the alliance leader "A Boiled Eggz"!)

Half an hour ago.

Watching the backs of Chen Mo and Qin Shu as they left, Li Yuan frowned slightly.

What respectable woman would dress so flamboyantly to deliver pastries to a stranger and even feed him personally?

Anyone with eyes could see something was off. This Madam Yan was clearly without scruples to save her son.

"Mr. Chen is sharp-eyed and surely won’t take the bait easily."

"The reason he took her to the Imperial Prison should be to extract more useful information..."

Li Yuan quietly reassured herself.

However, after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, the two still hadn’t returned, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

Although, given her understanding of Chen Mo, he might not fancy Qin Shu, but what if he wanted a change in taste?

After all, Qin Shu’s appearance and demeanor were above average, and as Yan Peizhi’s legitimate wife, the added effect of her special status would certainly bring a sense of revenge and the thrill of breaking taboos...

Pa, pa—

Li Yuan clapped her cheeks lightly, telling herself to stop overthinking.

"Mr. Chen is not that kind of person..."

"Brother isn’t what kind of person?"

At that moment, a crisp voice sounded.

Li Yuan turned her head to see Shen Zhixia standing at the door with her hands behind her back, her black hair styled in a smooth bun, and her goose-yellow long skirt fluttering in the wind, revealing a section of her fair, crystalline calf. She exuded a youthful, sweet aura.

"Miss Shen, why are you here?" Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.

"I had nothing to do today, so I thought I’d come see Brother Chen Mo," Shen Zhixia said, tilting her head. "Just now, it sounded like Households Commander Li was talking to herself. What’s going on with brother?"

"Ahem, nothing," Li Yuan looked a bit uneasy and said, "Mr. Chen went to the Imperial Prison and it will be a while before he’s back."

"Oh, alright then." Shen Zhixia nodded and didn’t ask further.

"May I wait here for a while?"

"Of course you may, please have a seat, Miss Shen."

"Thank you."

Shen Zhixia gathered her skirt and sat on the chair, looking very dignified and serene.

Li Yuan brewed her a cup of tea and said with a smile, "We haven’t seen each other in a while. If I’m not mistaken, the last time was when the new examination just opened, and you came with Daoist Qingxuan."

"That’s correct." Shen Zhixia nodded as she picked up a teacup, "I’m embarrassed to say, it almost delayed your and brother’s work."

"You’re too kind, Miss Shen." Faced with the fiancée of Chen Mo, Li Yuan always felt a bit nervous. Was this the bloodline pressure of the Chen Family’s wife?

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was quiet.

Shen Zhixia took small sips of tea, leaving a light lip print on the edge of the white porcelain cup.

In fact, she had a reason for coming over this time.

Ever since Chen Mo returned, she felt the atmosphere at the Chen Mansion had become peculiar, especially He Yuzhi, who sighed all day long and looked at her with a hint of sympathy and guilt.

And Daoist Qingxuan always seemed preoccupied, yet whenever she asked, he’d be evasive and unwilling to clarify.
