“Aunt Qin, don’t listen to their nonsense, they’re just trying to trick you!”
Chu Huaiyu immediately wanted to go over and pull Qin Liuyan back.
Behind her, Feng Yexuan’s indifferent voice seemed to embed itself into her heart: “You want to stop me?”
Chu Huaiyu’s heart jolted, and the step she had taken was forcibly retracted.
She didn’t dare to go near Qin Liuyan even half a step.
With Prince Xuan here, how could she have any chance to act recklessly?
But she was still unwilling: “Aunt Qin, they are lying to you, look clearly for yourself! Look clearly at who I am!”
Hearing this, Qin Liuyan couldn’t help but turn her head and look at her.
“Don’t worry, I’ll quickly show you what she really looks like.”
Chu Qianli’s voice struck Chu Huaiyu’s heart, inexplicably making her uneasy.
What did that bitch mean by that?
She instinctively wanted to touch her face, but now, Chu Huaiyu dared not.
Prince Xuan was right in front of her, and any small move she made would not escape Prince Xuan’s sharp eyes.
How could she dare to act rashly?
She could only continue to call out to Qin Liuyan: “Aunt Qin, turn around and look at me!”
“Third Madam, why don’t we first see what’s inside this cloth bag.”
Han Zhan looked at her, his eyes showing a hint of sincerity.
Having lived together in the Duke’s mansion for many years, Qin Liuyan actually knew Han Zhan’s character.
But she really didn’t dare.
Yet, at this moment, for some reason, she also didn’t dare to turn her head and look at Chu Huaiyu.
“Aunt Qin…” Chu Huaiyu was still calling.
Qin Liuyan, however, as if guided by a spirit, walked to Han Zhan’s front, squatted down, and crouched before the cloth bag.
Her hands were trembling.
She didn’t even know what she was afraid of.
But her heart was clearly being tightly clutched by an unintentional hand, making her heart pound and her breathing increasingly difficult.
The cloth bag was finally untied.
As Han Zhan had said, it was a pile of bones.
Most people would be frightened upon seeing white, bare bones.
But a weak woman like Qin Liuyan, upon seeing this pile of remains, not only wasn’t scared but instead, directly reached out and picked them up.
What did she see!
She actually saw, among the pile of bones, a bracelet!
It was the bracelet her mother had left her, which she had later given to Huaiyu for safety.
Although not valuable, it was the only valuable thing left to her by her maternal family!
“No, no…”
“Aunt Qin, it’s fake, it’s all fake!” Chu Huaiyu’s unease was amplified.
Qin Liuyan’s back was to her, and from her perspective, she couldn’t see what Qin Liuyan was holding in her hand.
But she was inexplicably uneasy.
“Aunt Qin… Mother! It’s all fake, don’t believe them!”
“Whether the remains are fake or not, I don’t know, but you, however, are definitely fake!”
Chu Qianli suddenly said coldly, “Fu Ning, Leng Ji, seize her!”
Fu Ning immediately said, “Yes!”
And rushed over.
Leng Ji also quickly responded with a “Yes” and darted towards Chu Huaiyu!
Feng Yexuan felt a headache coming on.
This woman, her heart had always been towards the dead woman, don’t think he didn’t know.
However, he had no intention of stopping her now.
Nor was he angry.
Chu Huaiyu’s face darkened, and just as she was about to fight back.
She suddenly felt an icy palm wind coming towards her.
This palm force was too pure and potent!
It was completely beyond her ability to resist!
With one palm, she was sent crashing to the ground!
She hadn’t even seen him make a move; this man, from beginning to end, had a composed expression and no emotion on his face.
You could never understand what he was thinking at that moment, whether he was happy or angry, whether he believed you or doubted you.
It was in this state, with not even a flicker of change in his eyes, that he struck her down!
Chu Huaiyu tried to get up, but Leng Ji and Fu Ning had already restrained her from both sides.
“If you have nothing to hide, why resist?” Fu Ning sneered. “If you are innocent, with your status, would Prince Xuan really make things difficult for you?”
As the daughter of Long Qianyue, the Prince would definitely protect her.
She might get hurt, but the Prince would never let anyone take her life, would he?
Chu Huaiyu’s resistance meant that she was indeed fake!
Chu Huaiyu was held by Leng Ji and Fu Ning, and they helped her stand up.
She glared at Chu Qianli and said angrily, “You and they colluded to frame me! Chu Qianli, everything you’ve done is just to win over Prince Xuan! You’re pretending not to care about the Prince! You’re too shameless!”
Chu Qianli said nothing.
However, Feng Yexuan felt a pang in his heart.
If what she said were true, perhaps he would feel a little better.
But how could that dead woman do so many things just to get him?
Everything she did was never because of him.
For a moment, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.
Even if she did all sorts of bad things for him, he could still protect her, but that dead woman could do anything for anyone, except for him.
She would probably find it troublesome to even say half a word for him.
Although he felt uncomfortable, Feng Yexuan’s face remained as cold as ice: “How will you prove she is fake?”
This question was directed at Chu Qianli.
“I suspected her identity a long time ago, so I secretly prepared a medicine.”
Prepared medicine? But she had nothing on her.
Everyone was a little confused.
Feng Yexuan, however, knew that her Qiankun Chain contained things that others could not see.
It could hide so many things.
Chu Qianli walked up to Chu Huaiyu and took out a syringe.
As she squeezed, a drop of liquid emerged from the sharp needle.
“I don’t know what method you used to alter your face like this, but as long as you’ve had surgery on your face or have any wounds, this needle water will surely reveal you.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
A hint of panic flashed in Chu Huaiyu’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
“Your Highness, she’s trying to poison me, are you really going to watch her harm me like this? I am the daughter of Long Qianyue, my mother owed you a favor, Your Highness… Chu Qianli, get away! If you dare to touch me, I will…”
But she didn’t get a chance to finish.
With a raise of Feng Yexuan’s long finger, Chu Huaiyu suddenly felt a palm force, like a dense net, completely immobilizing her.
By the time she came to her senses, the fine needle in Chu Qianli’s hand had already pierced her neck.
The liquid was instantly pushed into her bloodstream.
“Ah!” Chu Huaiyu screamed!
It hurt so much!
The intense pain made her disregard Feng Yexuan’s presence, and with a shake of her arms, she sent Leng Ji and Fu Ning flying away!
Now everyone could see clearly, Chu Huaiyu’s internal energy was so high!
Leng Ji and Fu Ning combined were no match for her!
Qin Liuyan held the bracelet, her heart filled with half sorrow and half lingering hope.
Hope that the Huaiyu before her was real.
But seeing her now, clutching her face and screaming, she suddenly became panicked.
Could it be that the Huaiyu who had been by her side for so many years was actually fake?
