The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth
Chapter 171 Eavesdropping
Zhang Yi was puzzled. Ever since he recovered and could walk, he felt that the atmosphere around him had become strange. His originally peaceful life seemed to be broken by a mysterious force, which made him feel uneasy and confused.
For some reason, he began to notice many indescribable gazes.
These eyes seemed to be everywhere, whether in Deng's house or on the streets of Blizzard City, they followed him like a shadow. Whenever he turned around or looked up, he could always catch a fleeting look, but when he tried to confirm, he found that those people turned their heads and looked elsewhere.
"Am I too handsome?" he joked to himself.
But this is obviously impossible. He still has some self-awareness. If they really want to see something interesting, why don't they focus on Deng Shentong?
Zhang Yi originally wanted to leave it alone, but every time he went out, he would feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, which was creepy.
He has always been a very low-key person who hates being noticed by others, but recently he has frequently become the focus of everyone's attention, which puzzles him.
For him now, being noticed is not a good thing. He just wants to stay safely by Deng Shentong's side and does not want to be involved in these inexplicable whirlpools.
What do these people's gazes mean?
Finally, he could no longer bear it, and he casually pulled over a pair of maids who were whispering behind him and said angrily: "What's wrong with you? How did I offend you?"
The two maids looked at the tall and strong Zhang Yi in horror and quickly waved their hands, "No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, we don't mean anything else!"
It's strange. Even the servants of the Deng family usually don't look down on him. Why are they suddenly so respectful?
Zhang Yi frowned and asked, "Then why are you always staring at me?"
He had a gloomy expression and sharp eyes, and when he was angry, he would unconsciously exude an aura of years of killing.
The two weak girls had never seen such a scene before. They trembled with fear for a while. One of the maids said tremblingly: "We, we are just curious..."
Zhang Yi subconsciously looked down at himself when he heard this, but he didn't find anything unusual. He raised his head in confusion and looked at the maids: "What are you curious about?"
At this time, another maid whispered: "That... Don't you know that it's spreading in Blizzard City that you had a conflict with the young lady?"
Zhang Yi was shocked. What did this have to do with Zhu Yunque? He hated Zhu Yunque, but this was also the Deng family's family affair. How could it be spread outside and spread so vigorously?
Could it be... that these people were staring at him because he was portrayed in rumors as a male mistress who got promoted halfway?
Zhang Yi suddenly felt a little ashamed. He quickly grabbed the two maids and asked them to tell him in detail what they had heard.
The two maids stammered as they recounted the rumors in the city. Although they were somewhat different from what Zhang Yi had imagined, the general meaning was not much different.
Those who tried to assassinate him were sent by Zhu Yunque. Zhang Yi had actually guessed it, but he was still unwilling to believe it. Was it necessary to go to such a big fuss just to get rid of an ordinary person like him?
Zhu Yunque might not be very smart, but the old guy behind her would not allow her to do so.
There is only one possibility, the target of this assassination was not him at all, but as Deng Shentong said, this was a conspiracy against the Deng family.
But why did the news get out and turn into this statement?
It doesn't matter to him, he is just an unknown servant. He is thick-skinned and it doesn't matter if he is scolded by others. Deng Shentong's reputation is the most important.
How could the Deng family allow such a scandal to be publicized? Was there some misunderstanding, or was it the Zhu family's doing?
Zhang Yi let go of the maid, then turned and walked towards where Deng Shentong was. He felt that he had to ask Deng Shentong for clarification, and at the same time he also wanted to remind him to pay attention to this matter.
Soon, Zhang Yi arrived at the door of Deng Shentong's room, but after opening it, he found that the room was empty. He couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: "Where did he go?"
Just when Zhang Yi was feeling confused, a servant passing by told him that Deng Shentong had just gone to Zhu Yunque's villa.
Hearing this news, Zhang Yi frowned even more tightly, his heart full of questions. Since he came to the Deng family, he has never seen Deng Shentong take the initiative to step into Zhu Yunque's courtyard. Now, at such a critical moment, why would he suddenly run to see her?
Zhang Yi told himself in his heart that he should not disturb Deng Shentong from dealing with things at this moment.
However, when he thought of Deng Shentong and Zhu Yunque being alone in a room, an impulse surged uncontrollably in his heart, and his feet involuntarily moved in that direction.
When I came to my senses, Zhang Yiren was already at the gate of the courtyard.
Just as he was about to go in, he heard the sound of women arguing fiercely, so he subconsciously stopped and hid at the door to listen to what they were talking about.
Zhu Yunque shouted sharply, "Have I ever done anything wrong to you, Deng Shentong? Why are you humiliating me like this? Do you know how those people in Blizzard City see me now?!"
There was silence for a while, and it was obvious that Deng Shentong did not respond.
Zhu Yunque seemed to be emboldened by his silence and continued to complain harshly:
"Don't think I don't know that you spread those rumors! I'm jealous? Okay, I should be jealous! Have you ever looked at me straight in the eye since I married you? I'm just a tool!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and even cried, "You, the Deng family, treat me as a bargaining chip, but what about you? What do you think of me? We are husband and wife, but you don't even consider me at all! You, the Deng family, are throwing dirty water on me for your own affairs. How can I live in this world in the future?!"
Deng Shentong finally spoke, but his tone was very cold: "Yuque, there is no affection between us. You don't need to pretend to be pitiful and gain sympathy here. Everyone knows it well."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunque’s crying stopped abruptly.
She stared at Deng Shentong with eyes wide open, eyes full of shock and anger, "You...you bastard! How dare you say such a thing? Do you know how heartless and ungrateful you are?"
Deng Shentong said expressionlessly: "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Since things have developed to this point, it's better for us to go our separate ways."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunque's anger flared up again. She caught up with Deng Shentong and blocked his way, "Want to leave? That's not easy! You must explain it to me today! Why did you do this to me? Did that bitch bewitch you?"
Deng Shentong frowned and replied impatiently: "Enough, don't put the blame on others. This is all our own choice."
Zhu Yunque sneered, "Humph, you are good at shirking responsibility. But don't forget that our marriage is related to your position as commander. Aren't you afraid of violating the contract by doing this?"
When Deng Shentong mentioned the position of commander, his eyes flickered slightly, but soon returned to indifference, "Things that belong to me don't need anyone to give them away, and you don't have to threaten me with this."
Zhu Yunque was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Okay, Deng Shentong, you are so heartless! I have seen through you, get out! I don't want to see you now!"
After saying that, she turned and left, her eyes blurred with tears.
Deng Shentong looked at her from behind, a complex expression flashing across his face. Then, he sighed deeply, and suddenly said, "Did you hear everything? Come out, don't hide anymore."
