Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

866-870

What Liang Xinyi had done was not serious, and it was nowhere near a grievous offence. Targeting Yun Ziling had been, in her opinion, the best way to go about it because it was the most direct and effective method to remove Liang Xiuqin from the picture.

Yun Ziling was Liang Xiuqin's heart. If anything were to happen to Yun Ziling, it was certain that no one would be more worried than Liang Xiuqin.

With that in mind, it was undeniable that this plot of Liang Xinyi's, to eliminate Liang Xiuqin, could not have been better devised.

"Come on, Yumo, let's get out of here. We can take a walk." Not going for a soak in the hot springs was not an issue, but missing out on what was going to happen next would be.

With Liang Xinyi successfully making her first move, Yun Xi and Yumo could now sit back and watch the drama as the rest of the plan subsequently unfolded. Thereafter, they were going to be able to witness how the targeted parties were going to send each other on the road to ruin.

Minutes after Yun Xi and Yumo headed outside, they ventured into an area near the Yun family's rooms that was close enough to catch a familiar voice. Just by hearing the voice, being flirtatious at that moment, it was undeniable that it belonged to Yun Ziling. Judging by the tone of her voice and the things she was saying, it was easily able to deduce that she must be shamelessly fawning over Jiang Henglin and pestering him again.

"Second Master, the hot springs located in the west wing is pretty good, plus it's secluded. Shall we head over there?"

"If you want to go, head over there by yourself. I'm not free now," Jiang Henglin snapped. It was bad enough that he was being pestered by Yun Ziling the instant he'd ended his meeting with some clients. To have walked around the entire establishment with her, in hopes that he could shake her off at some point, but to no avail, was pushing him to his limits. He was on the verge of losing his mind, seeing that she did not have any plans to leave, but instead wanted to continue tormenting him.

To make matters worse, Yun Ziling's figure was not the most attractive. Picturing her fleshy, chubby figure in a swimsuit was not at all appealing for Jiang Henglin, let alone for him to be imagining going for a soak with her. The idea of it filled Jiang Henglin with disgust. His mind was racing on the lines of...who would ever want to go to the hot springs with her? It would just ruin my appetite.'

After a pause in their conversation, a thought struck Jiang Henglin and he asked, "Where's your sister? Why isn't she with you?"

"I don't know... She came with her friend so I doubt she'll pay us any attention at all. Anyway, don't you like hot springs? If that's the case, I could accompany you to play golf."

"The sun has already set. How are we going to play golf? Besides, do you even know how?" Jiang Henglin responded sarcastically. Then he shot Yun Ziling a glare and turned his back on her, heading off to the bar located on the second floor.

Yun Xi shot Yumo a look, and the two of them nodded at each other in their collusion. "Yun Xi, let's go have a soak in the hot springs. After that's finished, we'll be just in time for dinner."

"All right! That sounds like a great plan." Yun Xi nodded in agreement. With that, the two of them headed off to their respective rooms.

Hearing Yun Xi's voice, Jiang Henglin instantly turned his head to look. Noticing that Yun Xi was heading toward her room, he followed in her direction.

"Second Master, where are you going?"

Seeing Jiang Henglin turn around and head off in another direction, Yun Ziling quickened her steps and followed after him. Unfortunately, she caught sight of Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo's silhouettes in the distance ahead of her. She stomped her feet in vexation but regained her composure to try to catch up to Jiang Henglin.
