The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1544 - 1543: Didn’t Say Anything

The people of East Island ultimately chose to use the Soul Capturing Technique only there. Generally, Soul Capturing Masters who visit other islands do so secretly, intent on broadening their horizons, but they inevitably resort to seeking money.As long as money is involved, Soul Capturing Masters don't mind conducting some innocuous little business on other islands. As long as they keep their activities discreet and leave no traces, no one will ever discover them.

This is the background of Soul Capturing Masters. Wang Han explained the more complex parts in a way You Xiaoxiao could understand. Seeing You Xiaoxiao less bewildered, she continued, "The reason I knew you were affected by the Soul Capturing Technique is because on the day you drank, I was nearby. We happened to meet on the street, and my curiosity led me to follow you to the tavern. Whatever you said or did there, you might not remember, but I remember very clearly."

What!!

You Xiaoxiao assumed she and Tu Hongxiu were the only ones aware of her visit to the tavern, never imagining someone knew even more about her actions that day than herself!

You Xiaoxiao regretted her habitual lack of forethought but felt grateful to have Wang Han by her side. If she had really been captured by Soul Capturing Masters that day and done something endangering her life, Wang Han, despite any dislike for You Xiaoxiao, wouldn't disregard her life.

"Do you remember if I said anything harmful to Kao Shan Sect or Tang Rao? I just knew I'd eventually cause trouble. I can't control my mouth, and easily get tricked into saying too much. I'm so useless; I've done nothing to help Tang Rao and only caused trouble. I've been no use in Kao Shan Sect; I'm such a fool!"

Not waiting for Wang Han to recall what she had said that day, You Xiaoxiao started slapping her own face, leaving handprints, unceasing until Wang Han intervened, flicking something at her wrist, causing her to stop. Despite that, tears were already dripping to the ground.

With such a convincing expression, if anyone still thought she was faking, Wang Han would stand up and speak for You Xiaoxiao's fairness.

"What's the use of saying so much now? Luckily, you didn't reveal anything significant about Kao Shan Sect. I suppose, compared to the other women by Tang Rao's side, you've never truly cared for Tang Rao's ambitions. You merely wanted to manage your own small affairs, so they couldn't extract anything from you using the Soul Capturing Technique."

Even though You Xiaoxiao was a bit dim-witted, her sincere devotion to Tang Rao was why Wang Han said a few heartfelt words to her.

"Glad nothing leaked; otherwise, it would all be over. I can't even imagine causing harm to Tang Rao by saying something inappropriate. I'd never escape the guilt."

You Xiaoxiao had no concern for her swollen face, nor for the tufts of hair accidentally pulled out during her slapping, but instead kept expressing relief that not too much went wrong.

"Wang Han, you're actually a good person. We've all misunderstood you, didn't know you, hence we've been judgmental. Please don't stoop to the level of the others. Once they get to know you, they'll accept you just as quickly as I did."

Just a small favor from Wang Han, and You Xiaoxiao was eager to offer her heart to Wang Han. It shows how pure-hearted You Xiaoxiao was, making conversation with Wang Han simpler.

"Acceptance isn't important to me. I'm Tang Rao's wife, living with Tang Rao, so how the women in the backyard view me doesn't matter. Furthermore, considering influence, from them?"

It's not arrogance, but even if all the backyard women joined forces, they wouldn't challenge Wang Han. Perhaps that was one reason Tang Rao chose Wang Han to manage the backyard.

"Since I've told you so much, I don't mind sharing a bit more."

Wang Han wasn't intending to sow discord but thought that woman would leave Kao Shan Sect sooner or later, facing Tang Rao's judgment. Since she'll eventually be an outsider, Wang Han might as well offer You Xiaoxiao some foresight.

"Wang Han, we're family. There's no need to hold back. I'm broad-minded and won't dwell on things."

To convince Wang Han, You Xiaoxiao even puffed her chest, promising Wang Han.

"Among the backyard women, there are kind-hearted ones and those with ulterior motives. That one with ulterior motives has started acting already; that's all I'll say, so be cautious."

This was the most Wang Han could reveal. Upon hearing this, if You Xiaoxiao were smart, thinking a bit deeper would lead her to identify the culprit.

It's just that only one thought lingered in her mind—someone has started acting—and she wasn't ready to consider further.

Regardless of who it might be, You Xiaoxiao couldn't discern it. Envisioning each sister, they all seemed nice enough.

"Yes, I've noted it down. Thank you, Wang Han."

Noted it down? In truth, she remembered nothing.

Just viewing You Xiaoxiao's vacant eyes, Wang Han knew this girl's thoughts were simple, seeing everyone as good, oblivious to the dangers around her.

No wonder Qin Qing sought You Xiaoxiao to be her scapegoat.

"Miss, don't you think you were too honest with her? Don't forget, when the master proposed you be the backyard's head lady, she opposed it intensely. Why help her?"

Jin Qiao couldn't stand seeing Wang Han wronged by others or her mistress still giving a good face to those who wronged her.

"Helping was just an impulse, but it's not a bad thing. That girl has her heart in the right place. Even if she errs, she'd first worry about harming Tang Rao. For her sincere affection for Tang Rao, she deserves a hand."

Whenever Tang Rao came up, Wang Han's face would reden and her breaths quicken briefly.

Once or twice, Jin Qiao and Yin Qiao believed it incidental, but over time, even a blind person would discern Wang Han's feelings; no need for them to point it out.

"Mistress's kindness is unparalleled. Sadly, most people judge only by appearances, never understanding our mistress."

Yin Qiao started speaking up for Wang Han, though Wang Han felt these minor grievances were inconsequential.

"Jin Qiao, keep close watch on Qin Qing's side. Report any anomalies to me immediately. Got it?"
