Chapter 9 Ye Ning Indeed Did Nothing_1

Ye Ning's face was impassive.

"Sis, what are you actually talking about? What drugging? I don't understand a single word. I just woke up and have no idea of anything. Did you hear some rumors and just believe them on a whim?"

"You... Ye Ning, how could you..." Ye Zi immediately switched to a surprised look, "Ye Ning, I know you're scared when you've done something wrong. But we are all family. I'm sure our aunt and Yeli will forgive you. Lying is not right. No matter what, honesty should always come first."

Ye Ning lifted the corner of her lips, a devious cold smile crept on her face, making Ye Zi shiver involuntarily.

Ye Ning gazed at her lightly, "Sis, you know I'm always timid and dare not do anything. How could I possibly drug Mu Yeli? There are so many rumors outside, don't blindly believe in them. People even said that you have been interested in Mu Yeli for a long time, that you hate the arranged marriage between me and him by our elders, and that you've been plotting against me. But I would never believe such words that aim to drive a wedge between us."

Within a few words, Ye Zi was once again trapped in her rhetoric.

As Ye Zi was about to speak, Ye Ning turned to Mu Yeli, "We just got married and are still in the honeymoon phase. I don't think there's any need to resort to drugs to enhance our excitement, right? It sounds like Yeli has to rely on medication to function properly, as you suggested. That doesn't sound good if people hear about it."

Dependent on medication to function?

On one side, Mu Yeli's face instantly darkened.

On the other side, Madam Mu was immediately flustered, "That's not true at all, Yeli is in excellent health. Ye Zi, did you misunderstand something? This is impossible."

"I... I didn't mean that. Ye Ning, how could you distort my words like that?"

Ye Zi looked at Ye Ning incredulously. Ye Ning was an expert at twisting words, making it impossible to guard against. She had fallen into her verbal trap, making her rebuttal sound like a cover-up.

Ye Ning continued to smile as she hooked her arm around Mu Yeli's. As she raised her head, her frivolous brows and eyes, and the smile in her crescent-shaped eyes, were mesmerizingly beautiful, making one think of the term 'femme fatale'.

The people below gasped unanimously, especially the scions of prominent families who had previously ignored Ye Ning completely. They now all turned their heads to her.

So bewitching, so enchanting.

Xu Rong stood behind feeling a cold sweat soaking through his body.

But when did their mistress change like this?

Every frown and every smile was alluring.

Her physical appearance hadn't changed, she had just swapped her makeup and clothes. Yet, it felt like she had undergone a complete transformation.
