Xue Fanxin’s words attracted strange looks from the crowd as if they were blaming her.

No matter what, Li Yaoyao had some of the Xue family’s bloodline in her. She was her cousin and had a pitiful background. For Xue Fanxin to treat her like this, it was really… too much.

Xue Batian also felt that it was not good for Xue Fanxin to do this, but he had always doted on her. Even though he felt that she had done something wrong, he still said to her kindly, “Little Xin’er, this isn’t too good, is it? If word gets out that you made your cousin a servant, it’ll probably affect your reputation.”

“She was the one who said that she was willing to be a slave and a servant in the Duke’s estate. I didn’t force her!” Xue Fanxin retorted self-righteously.

“That…”

That seemed to make sense.

“Li Yaoyao, I’ll give you two choices now. One is to immediately get lost from the Duke’s estate. The other is to become a slave here. Those are your two choices. As for which one to choose, it’s entirely up to you. Don’t say that I forced you. I didn’t force you. I even gave you two options.”

Wanting to make her a public enemy and then use the power of the public to deal with her? No way.

Normal people were not so smart and were easily misled by what they saw. Li Yaoyao used this to often pretend to be pitiful and innocent in front of them to win their sympathy and then use them.

This method had indeed worked in the past. This was what caused the host to have a notorious reputation for bullying others.

Unfortunately, the current Xue Fanxin was no longer the same as before. How could she let Li Yaoyao bully her so easily?

However, Li Yaoyao was not easy to deal with either. As soon as Xue Fanxin made a move, she immediately thought of a way to expose her. “Cousin, I’m willing to stay in Duke’s estate as a slave. I’ll do anything for you and even give you Yi Tian. I only hope that you won’t make things too difficult for me in the future. I… I just want to have a place here.”

“Since you and Yi Tian are in love, how can I break up the two of you? Don’t worry. Your marriage to Yi Tian won’t be called off. Grandpa and I will choose a lucky day for you tomorrow and let you marry him and become his wife as soon as possible. You can rest assured now, right?”

Although Xue Fanxin wasn’t as pitiful as Li Yaoyao and looked a little strong, her words were very convincing. The people around them didn’t have any objections.

Li Yaoyao wanted to use her words to incite the anger of the crowd and use it to deal with Xue Fanxin. However, no matter what she said, Xue Fanxin could easily resolve it. This made her very angry.

She did not believe that with her intelligence, she could not win against a stupid girl.

“Cousin, I won’t dare anymore. I won’t dare to snatch Yi Tian from you. I really won’t dare anymore. I, Li Yaoyao, swear here that even if I die in this lifetime, I won’t marry Yi Tian. Otherwise, the heavens will strike, thunder will strike, and the earth will be destroyed. Cousin, I’ve already sworn a poisonous oath. Believe me, okay?”

“Since—” Xue Fanxin was about to retort, but she was interrupted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Since you’ve already sworn an oath, then I don’t have to marry you.” Yi Tian’s voice suddenly sounded, startling everyone present. What shocked them wasn’t his appearance but his words.
