Chapter 182: Butterfly's Conspiracy Tonight

  "Great Master, please save me and my sister!"

  Cui Cui suddenly burst into tears.

  Sheng Chengyi was stunned on the spot.

  The butterfly clothes' close friend came to ask for his help?

  Is it true?

  As far as he knew, Cui Cui had been helping Die Yi with everything since she followed her.

  Nature also helped Butterfly Clothes deal with people in this house.

  Wasn't it just the other day that she returned to the mansion from the Regent's palace, and wasn't she still only acknowledging Butterfly Clothes as her master, helping Butterfly Clothes scold Little Sister?

  Isn't there deception?

  Is it Butterfly's new conspiracy?

  "You are Butterfly's maid, why don't you go find Butterfly, what are you doing looking for me?"

  Sheng Chengyi put away his own sword and said coldly.

  A little girl, he can pinch her to death with just one hand, and doesn't even need this sword!

  "Your Highness, I know, I used to follow Miss Die Yi and did many wrong things..."

  "It's just a silly servant who has been blinded by flattery, thinking that Miss Butterfly will really take her to become a noblewoman."

  "Miss Butterfly used to tell me that she was going to be an empress, and she would make me a princess... but now she herself is only a lowly slave..."

  "So, you're betraying me just because Butterfly Clothes became a lowly clan and can't wait to curry favor with this young master?" The eyes of Sheng Chengyi were filled with disgust.

  What he hates most now is the two words "betrayal"!

  "No... it's not like that..." Cui Cui hastily explained: "I did have thoughts of becoming a noble, but I helped Butterfly Young Miss with things mainly because my family members are all in Butterfly Young Miss' hands."

  "Miss Dieyi promised me that as long as I am loyal to her and do everything she arranges, she will be good to my family!"

  "She would also give extra silver coins to the family of her slaves every month!"

  "The slave believed it was true and never went back to take a look."

  "But I figured that my sister is about to come of age, so today I took advantage of the young master and the misses all attending a banquet hosted by the Tian family, and secretly left the mansion with the silver I've been saving for several years."

  "But who would have known... Who would have known that I returned home, only to find out that Miss Hudie not only didn't take good care of my family, but she also..."

  "She had long since driven her maid's parents and younger brother to death, and sold her only sister into the lowest brothel!"

  "Great Master, I have helped Miss Hu Die do many evil things. You can punish me as you see fit, I only beg of you to show some mercy and save my poor sister, she's only thirteen years old and has already been tortured beyond recognition!"

  "To prove that I'm not here to cause trouble on behalf of Butterfly Young Miss, I can tell you, Young Master, about Butterfly Young Miss's plot for tonight..."

  Sheng Chengyi's eyes sank, and he subconsciously asked: "What does Die Yi want to do tonight?"

  Damn Butterfly Clothes, it's not just wanting that private warehouse?

  "The eldest prince, actually... Miss Hu Die has had other lovers besides the second prince over the years..."

  "Zhao De Xing, the third son of the Zhao family, is another lover of Butterfly Clothes Miss!"

  Sheng Chengyi immediately thought of something about Zhao Dehui.

  Isn't that just the dissolute young master who, before he was twenty-five, had married four wives, taken in eleven concubines, and kept a large entourage of women without official status?

  He often bragged about his affairs with women, and more than half of the secret letters in the imperial palace were written by him.

  Even seeing a pretty girl would lead to harassment on the street, and if she didn't dare resist, they would ruin her reputation on the spot.

  You are a scoundrel detested by all good families with daughters in Kyoto Imperial Palace!

  Because his birth mother was a princess and his father was the current Right Chancellor, he had great power and influence, making people dare not speak out against him...

  The Sheng family, however, had long known of Zhao Dexing's evil reputation, so every year they would openly send precious gifts to the Princess and gold and silver to the Right Chancellor's estate.

  Later on, Little Sister and Second Prince got engaged...

  So everyone knows that Zhao De Xing will not harass the daughter of the Sheng family.

  So it turns out that Die Yi and Zhao De Xing had been in cahoots all along?

  "Is Butterfly's conspiracy tonight related to Zhao De Xing?" Sheng Cheng Yi thought of a crucial point.
