Yan Ruyu was outside the dilapidated temple, listening to Wan Niang's narration. The process of her becoming a spy sounded absurd and bizarre, but it made sense when you thought about it carefully.

Generally speaking, spies should be like bee whistles. They go through layers of screening, from selection to training, to being able to work independently. This is because the things that spies have to do may not be very noticeable in normal times. After all, they have to integrate into daily life. In border towns, some spies are people around you, such as small vendors, blacksmiths, butchers, or even an inconspicuous beggar on the street.

They are all small characters, hiding in the most ordinary places, observing their surroundings with a pair of eyes, gathering information, and when the critical moment comes, a message they send may affect the development of the entire situation and change its direction.

This is what Huo Changhe said. Although he is a small figure, he can influence the overall situation. When he was stationed at the border, what he paid most attention to was the anti-reconnaissance work of the spies.

But this Wan Niang obviously did not belong to the spy mentioned above. She was more like a "random" one. Because of the suffering of her family and the fact that she was left alone, she was taken away to become a spy and then assigned tasks.

If she can do it, that would be the best. If she succeeds and gets caught, like now, she will be caught. She only knows where she came from. As for who her superiors are or what they do, she knows nothing about them, not even what they look like.

She herself was a dead end. Apart from the tasks she was asked to do and the tiny bit of her past, she knew nothing else.

Only the piece of information "from Shencheng" made Yan Ruyu's heart move slightly.

Shencheng was the place where Huo Changhe had been stationed. Wan Niang was sent there again to be with Su Wude, and Su Wude also had to deal with Huo Changhe.

Is this a coincidence?

Yan Ruyu would rather believe that this was the person behind the framing of Huo Changhe, who was taking action again in secret.

Wan Niang sobbed and said to Feng Shao, "Brother, I am also a pitiful person. I lost my mother since I was young, and my father was beaten to death. I almost lost my life. Becoming a spy was not my wish. I really had no other way to survive at that time."

"Which woman in this world doesn't want to live a peaceful life and grow old with her husband? I..."

Before she could finish her words, the remaining door of the dilapidated temple was kicked open with a clang. A gust of cold air rushed into the already cold and shabby house, and Wan Niang shivered involuntarily.

She turned around and saw a man striding towards her. Before she could see clearly, he grabbed her collar and slapped her twice.

He used all his strength without mercy, and Wan Niang was beaten so hard that her head was dazed, her face felt numb, and blood immediately flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Feng Shao had stepped aside, folding his arms and watching the fun.

Wan Niang had no power to defend herself. Before she could recover from the shock, she heard the man scolding her, "Shameless thing, bitch! How have I ever been bad to you? You actually cheated me like this and even wanted to cuckold me. Ugh!"

"Papa" was another two slaps.

Only then did Wan Niang see clearly that the person coming was Su Wude.

Her mind buzzed, and she finally realized that the man who had interrogated her was not Mrs. Su's man, nor was he anyone else's man. He must be Su Wude's man.

This should be a trap set by Su Wude for her!

Damn, really hateful.

Wan Niang figured it out and started to fight back. Su Wude must have known what she had just said. If that was the case, there was no point in wasting words on her. It would be useless to say anything nice.

She was not as strong as Su Wude, but she had sharp nails on her hands. She swung her nails in a random manner, making it difficult for Su Wude to defend himself. He was scratched several times by her when he was not paying attention.

Mrs. Su, who was standing next to Yan Yu on the other side, felt extremely happy when she saw this scene.

It's what she deserves! Beat this bitch to death.

Su Wude is not a good person either, but they are husband and wife after all, and they still have to live their life in the future.

Su Wude was extremely angry and grabbed Wan Niang's hand: "Bitch, you are actually a spy and you want to put the blame on me!"

Yan Ruyu was filled with doubts. From what Su Wude said, was there something else going on?

"It was you who said that the Wu family was stupid and greedy, and that they could be allowed to take the lead and be used as pawns. It was you who said that Luo Shi and Mrs. Luo San were friends, and that you asked Luo Shi to leak the information and induce the Wu family to hold a flower viewing banquet."

"It's you too. You said your cousin used to be a cook in the Zhennan King's military camp. He knew the knife style and asked me to make a knife fight with him to frame the Zhennan King. Now I did everything? And you are the one who made the report? No way!"

Mrs. Luo is Mrs. Su.

When Mrs. Su heard this, her previous gloating faded away, leaving only shock, anger and resentment.

What? Everything she did, everything she was afraid of, was not Su Wude's idea, but the suggestion of this bitch?

She is the wife of a deputy governor, but she is being manipulated around by a bitch?

Yan Ruyu said softly, "Don't worry, I'll let you vent your anger later."

Wan Niang screamed and cursed: "You two are stupid, what does it have to do with me? I am a weak woman, how can I know about the Wu family and the Princess of Yongchang County? It is clearly you who said it."

"I did not say!"

Wan Niang refused to admit it: "Blaming the palace is a serious crime, but you want to push a concubine on me, what a wishful thinking."

"Go to the governor's mansion and ask. You are a deputy governor. If you say that everything was suggested by my mistress, will anyone believe you?"

Su Wude slapped her again: "Asshole, you dare to slander me."

Wan Niang spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a joking smile: "That's all you can do, hitting a woman, haha."

She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't think you got anything out of the banquet at Cao's house today. If you want to get through this, I have an idea."

Maybe she has always had a lot of tricks, or maybe Su Wude really has no solution now.

He loosened his grip a little: "Speak."

Wan Niang smiled at him and held his hand: "Why don't you take this opportunity to kill Luo and put the blame on her. She has had dealings with Madam Wu San. A careful investigation will reveal that she had a conflict with the palace before. Because she is resentful, she intends to frame someone. Then find a blacksmith shop and kill someone to make it look like she is silencing him. By then, even if Luo denies it, she will have no way to defend herself."

This is a method, but it is a vicious and clumsy one.

But Su Wude frowned slightly and began to seriously think about the feasibility.

When Wan Niang saw that there was a way out, she immediately smiled again: "I have concealed things from you, but I have never had the intention to harm you. Think about it carefully, right?"

"Besides, I will definitely do a better job as the mistress than Mrs. Luo. I will pave the way for you when the time comes. Our life will definitely be much better than when you and Mrs. Luo were together. We will definitely prosper."

Su Wude didn't know whether the business could prosper or not, but he knew Huo Changhe was outside the temple. Huo Changhe also knew that this woman was a spy.

No matter what, this woman cannot be kept, but we have to keep her stable for now.
