Chapter 236: Leah Sets a Trap to Tempt Shen Que

Chapter 236 Mrs. Leah Sets a Trap to Seduce Shen Que

Mrs. Leah raised an appreciative eyebrow, "Why don't you think it's just a simple split personality?"

Wu Yue, "It's simple—because this entire story requires the presence of a powerful black witch to complete the soul-swapping ritual.

A split personality alone shouldn’t be enough to slaughter a hundred people in the castle, right?

Whether it was out of fear that God would find out and punish you, so you killed all witnesses, or simply because you wanted to baptize your rebirth in the blood of a hundred people—

With all the necessary conditions in place, you still needed the support of supernatural forces to complete the entire soul-swapping ritual.

I don’t believe that in the Middle Ages, during such a grand hunting operation, a highborn lady would also be a witch.

Regardless of who between you and Ambika is good or evil, or who’s really to blame, based on what Ambika said last night, we can deduce:

If, as Ambika claimed, she is Mrs. Leah who was targeted by a witch—

Why didn’t the witch succeed in replacing her? Where did the witch go? And how did she manage to eliminate the witch?

If someone could defeat a witch and defend their own life, why would they tell the whole story from the perspective of a weak, victimized party?

If it were truly as Ambika said—that she is Mrs. Leah—then after defeating the witch, she should have become even stronger, with an iron will.

So, in conclusion,

I speculate: The black witch did indeed lose in the end, becoming the puppet of the real Mrs. Leah, while the fake Mrs. Leah who appeared before everyone was actually the black witch, Ambika.

Long-term persecution drove her mad, resulting in a split personality. Subconsciously, she cast herself as the victim."

"Main storyline prompt: Main storyline progression correct."

"Reward obtained: Mental Pollution cut in half."

"Current Mental Pollution index: 20%."

Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. The drop in her Mental Pollution index made her feel much better—once it exceeded 70%, her situation would become far more difficult.

A light chuckle from Mrs. Leah filled the air, rising in volume, clearly indicating her delight.

Mrs. Leah suddenly closed the distance to Wu Yue, "You really are perfect—no wonder Ambika chose you from the very beginning.

But you’re underestimating Ambika far too much. She’s not the kind, innocent woman you described.

Witches are clever and cunning, experts at deception."

Wu Yue looked at Mrs. Leah, "I believe Mrs. Leah is the most powerful of all. After all, even a clever witch walked right into your trap."

Belittling a strong opponent to feed their pride—

Flattery never fails.

Mrs. Leah smirked in satisfaction, "Of course! As long as I’m here, she’ll never get back up!"

Wu Yue nodded eagerly, giving a thumbs-up, "You’re absolutely right, Mrs. Leah! You are the most powerful!"

Mrs. Leah, "Hahaha! Even the person she chose to save her has now succumbed to my charm!

Ambika will never measure up to me—she’ll never escape! She’ll rot forever in that cold coffin!!"

Wu Yue chimed in, hands on her hips and laughing uproariously, "Hahaha! Yes! You'll never escape!"

Immediately, her mind raced.

Mrs. Leah mentioned that Ambika wasn’t as innocent as she seemed—she was clever, cunning, and skilled at deception.

Could it be that before the life-exchange ritual was fully completed, Ambika had already discovered or even seen through Mrs. Leah’s scheme?

Then why didn’t she escape the castle using the black witch’s sorcery right away?

Wu Yue cautiously asked, "Mrs. Leah, you just said Ambika is cunning?"

Mrs. Leah was clearly pleased with herself, having once again outsmarted and ruined Ambika’s plans, which swelled her pride.

"Exactly, the cunning witch!" she sneered.

"Quest Update: Unlocking the true main storyline of Mrs. Leah."

"Ever since I was born, I’ve suffered from a severe blood disease. Every doctor who examined me said I would die before 18.

But I have the purest and noblest bloodline in the entire royal family!! Those filthy lowborn whelps could survive, so why couldn’t I?

After my birth, my parents scoured the land for a way to save me. They discovered the existence of a black witch deep in the swamps.

The black witch’s powerful sorcery could cure the blood disease, and through the life-swapping ritual, I could even become immortal like her!

I found the most handsome young man in the entire kingdom and laid this perfect trap for the black witch.

But because of one child—a child taken from a distant, disgraced noble house—she discovered the flaw."

Wu Yue immediately thought of the eyeless child she had seen the previous night.

Leah’s eyes blazed with rage.

"Wretched creature, ruining my plans!"

Wu Yue asked, "If the child ruined your plans, why is there still a rule in the butler’s house rules about treating children kindly?"

The gestures in the painting—it was because this was a sham family.

A false father, a false mother, and a false child, brought together for a cruel scheme, so they begged God's mercy out of guilty conscience.

But the child... why would there still be kindness toward the child...

Wu Yue’s eyes suddenly widened.

*She knew!*

*She understood it all now!!*

The whole puzzle—she had figured it all out!!

The reason for treating the child kindly was because the child held the witch’s humanity and heart.

Wu Yue shot a discreet look at Mrs. Leah and said calmly, "What an interesting tale, Mrs. Leah. Now, shall we go see the wine cellar and swimming pool?"

Mrs. Leah nodded. "Of course."

She had specifically prepared an elaborate scheme for Wu Yue there.

Believing that once Wu Yue saw her husband she thought she had under control being intimate with another woman, rolling around in a pool of red wine, she would surely fly into a rage.

When the time came, she would simply push her into the pool, letting her blood become rich fertilizer to nourish the flowers.

Lady Leah, "Let's go."

She couldn’t wait to see what this seemingly wise woman would look like when she finally snapped!!

Lady Leah resumed her butler disguise and followed behind her. She passed through the barrier that had trapped her—apparently, this was a barrier erected by Lady Leah using the witch’s power.

The underground was filled only with the sound of her and Lady Leah’s footsteps, "Click—click—"

As they got closer to the pool, Wu Yue heard some strange noises.

Lady Leah, "Now those are some blush-worthy sounds."

Wu Yue listened carefully, then asked uncertainly, "You think these are blush-worthy sounds?"

Or... something else entirely?

Lady Leah nodded firmly, "Of course."

No man could resist the witch’s sorcery—the irresistible allure. As long as it was a man...

Lost in thought, the two of them now stood before the swimming pool.

Up and down, the splashing sounds. The butler on the left and the Wu Yue impostor on the right had already been beaten to a pulp beyond recognition by him, their flesh torn and bones shattered, revealing the tattered, rotting flesh inside.

Shen Que, expressionless, held one in each hand, slamming them repeatedly into the pool. His blood-red eyes and a ghoulish grin stretched into a sinister, eerie curve,

"Who allowed you to pretend to be her? Who allowed it?!"

With a flicker in his gaze, the rotting corpses were violently shoved into the blood-filled pool. Except for the bubbles rising, the corpses were completely dissolved.

"You’re not worthy."

His cold lips uttered the most venomous words.

The moment he suddenly turned to look, Lady Leah involuntarily recoiled.

Seeing Wu Yue unharmed, Shen Que’s entire expression softened in an instant. He quickly approached, ignoring his own corroding flesh, and casually wiped the blood off his hands with the butler’s clothes.

Tossing the clothes to the ground in disgust, Shen Que nervously leaned close to Wu Yue, remembering his act.

Shen Que blinked, his eyes reddening,

"Yue Yue, they tried to bully me. I was terrified."

Wu Yue, staring blankly, watched Shen Que’s entire performance, which was worthy of an Oscar, "...."
