Chapter 110 The Beginning of the Conspiracy

Now that Ke Qing had completely calmed down, a sense of worry welled up in her heart. If her master found out about this, would he blame her? Would he trace the matter back to her?

Thinking about this, her heart involuntarily quickened.

She quickly changed her mind and realized that the gentleman was just an ordinary person. No matter how clever his methods were, he would never be able to find out where Uncle Zhao was!

Such a fantastical thing, even if told to others, probably no one would believe it. Thinking this, Ke Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

And even if, hypothetically, the master did find out, she had nothing to fear. Ultimately, she was doing this entirely to rid them of that scourge!

As long as that vixen can stop bewitching the gentleman!

If he could return to being the aloof and unapproachable man he once was, like the cold moon, never again bowing his head or showing affection for anyone, then it would all be worthwhile.

Once the gentleman regains his former clarity of mind, he will surely understand her good intentions and be grateful to her.

And Miss Wan Ning... she can rest easy now!

After thinking it through, Keqing finally relaxed. Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that afternoon a month ago.

That day, after finishing her work in her assigned area, Ke Qing inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in a corner of the garden—Bai Wanning sitting on a bench, covering his face with his hands and weeping.

Her already thin shoulders trembled incessantly from crying, making her look so helpless and pitiful that it evoked pity in one's heart.

Seeing this, Ke Qing was slightly startled, but without thinking, she hurriedly walked towards her. She gently asked, "Miss Wan Ning, what's wrong? Did something upset you?"

Upon hearing Ke Qing's voice, Bai Wanning slowly raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were red from crying, and her lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately she couldn't utter a sound.

He lowered his head, tears streaming down his face, and cried even more heartbrokenly.

In this manor, Bai Wanning treated every servant with great kindness and generosity.

She often carefully selects various designer gifts for everyone, from exquisite jewelry to fashionable clothing, all reflecting her heartfelt sentiments.

Therefore, everyone felt a deep affection and respect for Bai Wanning, regarding her as a warm ray of light in the manor.

Ke Qing was no exception!

Seeing her crying so sadly, Ke Qing almost instinctively sat down beside her and comforted her, "Miss Wan Ning, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me! If I can help, I certainly won't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanning raised her head and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. She sobbed and said, "How could that be? Ke Qing, you know me. I've always considered you all my good friends and sisters."

If these words had come from someone else, Ke Qing might have thought that person was hypocritical and saying one thing but meaning another! But since these words came from Bai Wanning, she firmly believed that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Bai Wanning is genuinely sincere and friendly to everyone he meets!

"I know. Miss Ning, could you tell me why you cried so hard that night?"

Bai Wanning sighed and lowered his head slightly. "Ke Qing, I consider you a confidante, so I won't hide it from you. You know that Brother Han and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts."

"But...but everything changed after she came! Brother Han doesn't treat me as kindly as before." Bai Wanning became sad again at this point.

Ke Qing certainly knew who the "she" Bai Wanning was referring to was.

Whenever Ke Qing thought of that woman, a look of resentment immediately rose on her originally calm face!

That despicable woman not only ruined her own life, but also shamelessly became someone else's mistress. She is utterly shameless!

“Miss Wan Ning, please don’t take it too seriously. A wild girl with an unknown identity and unclear background can never compare to you.”

"In Mr. Sir's heart, you have always held the most important place."

Ke Qing quickly offered words of comfort.

"Besides, your feelings for that woman are merely temporary, a result of being captivated by her beauty. The novelty will wear off eventually. Furthermore, given your status and position, how could you so easily grant that kind of woman a title? So you can rest assured."

Listening to the other party's earnest advice, Bai Wanning simply shook her head slightly, her face full of sorrow, and said, "No! This time it's probably really different. I can clearly feel that Brother Han has become more and more infatuated and attached to her."

"But you can't blame Brother Han for that. After all, how many men in the world wouldn't be moved by a woman as beautiful as her?"

"Keqing, do you know? I have never met such a beautiful person in my entire life."

She paused, then changed the subject, as if genuinely praising her: "She is so beautiful that she seems otherworldly, like... like a brightly blooming flower in a garden that has come to life and become alluring."

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing's expression changed drastically! Her voice turned serious as she asked, "Miss Wan Ning, do you believe in demons and monsters?"

Bai Wanning looked puzzled, blinking her beautiful eyes with a touch of innocence. "Ke Qing, what are you saying? I don't understand a word of it."

As she spoke, no one noticed the fleeting shadow of darkness that crossed her eyes.

Ke Qing took a deep breath and then poured out all the things she had been wondering about.

Bai Wanning covered her mouth with her hand, looking utterly astonished.

It took her a long time to come to her senses, still feeling lingering fear! "Really? What should we do! If she really is a demon, then... then will Brother Han's life be in danger?"

Bai Wanning became increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and his face was filled with anxiety and worry.

"No, this absolutely cannot happen! But Brother Han is so infatuated with her right now, he probably won't believe me."

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"

Bai Wanning was extremely anxious, twisting the hem of his clothes incessantly with his hands, looking like he was about to cry again.

Ke Qing quickly patted her shoulder, "Miss Wan Ning, don't be afraid! I've already thought of a way to deal with her."

"I know someone who's incredibly capable! He can definitely take down that banshee."

Bai Wanning grabbed Ke Qing's hand, his face full of hope.

"Really? Keqing, do you really have a way? Please, you have to help me!"

Ke Qing nodded, then looked troubled. "But... Uncle Zhao is extremely greedy. If you want him to do something for you, it will probably cost a lot of money."

Bai Wanning sniffed. "Money is not a problem, as long as she stops harming Brother Han."

Her tone was extremely sincere, and she tightened her grip on Ke Qing's hand. "Ke Qing, I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. After it's done, Brother Han and I will be forever grateful to you."

"Don't worry, Miss Wan Ning, leave this to me. I will definitely not let that succubus continue to run rampant."

……

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Ke Qing lay on the bed with a satisfied look on her face, presumably the female demon had disappeared by now.

Finally, things will be quiet again.

Suddenly!

There was a knock on the door...

Ke Qing was taken aback, then got out of bed.
