I Was Wrong, Please Don't Kill Me

"Madam Shen, you are too calculating."

"Yeah, Shen Xinai wanted to seduce Huo Siye, but Shen Xingkong was sent as a pawn!"

"What's this? Losing both the wife and the soldiers? Not only did they fail to seduce Siye, but they also ended up giving another man an advantage."

"Tsk tsk, they went too far. Shen Xingkong's injuries… Did they use glass to cut her? You can see her bones, she will definitely be scarred."

"She's just an adopted daughter. That's why she's not favored."

"But didn't the Shen family always say they treat Shen Xingkong as their own daughter?"

"Do you believe that?"

"Now, looking at Shen Xingkong's appearance, I don't."

The reporters kept talking, their words making Dong Ruzhu and Shen Xinai's faces look even uglier.

Especially Shen Xinai.

Being seen with a man like this… How could she still be a news anchor? How could she face people?

Not to mention marrying Huo Siye!

Her future was ruined by Shen Xingkong, this useless thing!!!

Shen Xingkong was very satisfied with Shen Xinai's expression.

Shen Xinai, how did you treat me in my past life? In this life, I will make you pay back double.

Can't stand it now? There's still more exciting things waiting for you!

"Who are you people? How dare you trespass into Fourth Master's room!"

At that moment, a cold and sharp voice came from outside the door.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Huo Siye, surrounded by a group of black-clad bodyguards, walking in with an overwhelming aura that made it hard to breathe.

"What are you all doing?" Bai Ning looked around the room with a strange expression.

Seeing Bai Ning, Shen Xinai rushed over to him like she had seen her savior. "Bai Ning, please tell them. You brought me here to see Fourth Prince!"

"I also want to know what's going on." Bai Ning pushed Shen Xinai away in disgust.

"But Bai Ning, you said earlier that Fourth Prince wanted to see me, that's why you brought me here. Please tell them quickly! I was framed! I didn't try to seduce Fourth Prince, and I definitely didn't do anything to Shen Xingkong!" Shen Xinai cried.

"I asked Miss Shen to wait here for Fourth Prince, but how did it turn out like this?" Bai Ning's words proved that Shen Xinai was lying, making her a joke in everyone's eyes.

The reporters looked at her with even more amusement.

Shen Xinai panicked. She grabbed Qi Heng and pleaded, "You tell them! Who asked you to come here? Was it Shen Xingkong? Did she bribe you?"

Qi Heng had already sobered up and put on his clothes. Facing Shen Xinai's desperate act, he sneered, "It was you who asked Uncle Hai to tell me the room number and made me drink the wine!"

Uncle Hai was the old butler of the Shen family. Many people knew of him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Xinai's face twisted in panic. The situation was spinning out of control.

Qi Heng sneered, "I knew something was off when you came. You wanted to use Xingkong as your scapegoat, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry, Qi Heng gege… I've caused trouble for you. Please don't say anything… I'm scared." Shen Xingkong curled up, trembling.

Qi Heng's guilt and protective instincts kicked in. "Don't be afraid, Xingkong!"

"Fourth Prince, you probably don't know. Shen Xinai wanted to drug you to force you to marry her. But she didn't dare do it herself, so she made her sister the scapegoat," Dong Ruzhu quickly explained.

Huo Siye's brows furrowed slightly. His deep and cold eyes sent out a chill that made everyone shudder.

Even though he only glanced at her, Shen Xinai felt like she was hit by a sudden gust of cold wind, freezing her whole body.

"No, no, it's not like that! Siye gege, don't listen to her nonsense. He forced me…" Shen Xinai cried, looking pitiful and helpless.

Qi Heng hesitated for a moment, feeling regret.

But Huo Siye remained unmoved.

Shen Xinai panicked and looked at Dong Ruzhu for help.

Dong Ruzhu quickly calmed herself down and changed her tone. "Siye, it's my fault for not educating Xingkong well. She must have had her reasons for making a scene tonight. Why don't we let the reporters leave and discuss this privately? There's no need to make this a laughingstock."

Huo Siye narrowed his eyes and avoided Dong Ruzhu's approach.

"Madam Shen, the Fourth Prince doesn't like people getting too close to him," Bai Ning stepped in, blocking Dong Ruzhu with an expressionless face.

Dong Ruzhu's mouth twitched slightly. She clenched her fists and quickly thought about how to handle the situation.

Shen Xingkong, that wretch!

She planned all of this! She humiliated Xinai!

Dong Ruzhu was shocked.

For so many years, she had kept Shen Xingkong under her control, never letting her take a step out of line. Even if she told her that one plus one equals three, she would believe it without hesitation.

How could she…?

Dong Ruzhu suspiciously looked at Shen Xingkong, who was covered in blood, trying to figure out what had changed.

Huo Siye was also looking at Xingkong.

The bindings weren't even tight. She could easily break free, yet she…

Does this woman have brain damage?!

An inexplicable anger surged in Huo Siye's chest. He was like an angry lion.

The whole room filled with overwhelming hostility, making everyone tremble.

"Save me… save me… it hurts… Mom, I'm sorry… don't kill me…" Xingkong begged weakly.

"Shut up!" Shen Xinai kicked Xingkong hard, wishing she could throw her out!

This wretched girl!

Xingkong groaned in pain. Her hands and feet were tied, and she didn't dare beg for help anymore after being kicked.

She curled up into a ball, silently weeping.

Tears mixed with blood on her cheeks, blurring her delicate face. Her bright eyes were filled with fear, and her frail body looked so pitiful.

At that moment, everyone felt an urge to protect her.

"Are you saying that Miss Shen injured herself and tied herself up behind the screen?" someone questioned Mrs. Shen.

"That's exactly what I'm saying! She's a despicable girl!" Mrs. Shen screamed, trying to slap Xingkong. But the reporters stopped her.

"Miss Shen, I've never heard of someone tying themselves up like this before!" one reporter mocked.

Shen Xinai's face turned even darker!

"Don't be afraid, Miss Shen! We'll help you!" someone reassured her.

"That's right! Someone dared to do this in broad daylight. Miss Shen, I've already called the police for you!"

"I've also called an ambulance for you!"
