Chapter 161: Chapter 161: So Rebellious and Untamed, Yet So Lovable

Qin Liuyan stopped crying by then.

She just looked at Chu Qianli, her eyes full of pity and sorrow.

"I really am your mother, and you are my daughter... I’m sorry, sixteen years ago, it was Mother’s fault."

She lowered her eyelids, tears falling drop by drop to the ground.

At last, she recounted the events of sixteen years prior in full detail once again.

"I know that as long as Long Qianyue is around, I will never be able to hold my head up high in front of your father."

"As soon as Long Qianyue’s child is born, my child will never have a day in the sun."

"It is because of my lowly birth that I have been unloved in this household for so many years, and I feared my daughter would follow in my footsteps."

"Therefore, on the night sixteen years ago when I and Long Qianyue were giving birth, I bribed the midwife to find a way to swap her child with mine."

"Coincidentally, on that day, my fourth sister’s daughter, Chu Feixue, was also born on the same night. With three children, all crying and making noise, it made it even easier for the midwife to carry out the swap."

"So," she lifted her head and looked at Chu Qianli again, tears rolling down anew.

"Lili, you are indeed my daughter, I am your mother!"

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it’s all Mother’s fault, sorry, Mother truly did it for your own good! Mother just loves you too much!"

Although Qin Liuyan had made a mistake, her love as a mother was great and innocent.

Everyone present felt a desolate tug at their heartstrings.

Chu Qianli alone remained expressionless throughout.

She looked down upon the woman claiming to be her mother with her usual aloofness, clearly devoid of any compassion.

With such disdain for others, where was there a trace of kindness?

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager felt even more disgusted!

The Emperor’s face grew increasingly grim, "Chu Qianli, you have replaced Long Qianyue’s daughter for sixteen years, do you understand your crime?"

Yet, Chu Qianli felt like laughing, "May I ask the Emperor, when did I know that I was not Long Qianyue’s daughter?"

"You..." The Emperor hadn’t expected such insolence from this mad girl, even towards himself!

Being in such a high position, when had anyone ever been so disrespectful in front of him?

Over the years, there was only one person who had, and that was Prince Yexuan, Feng Yexuan!

It couldn’t be denied that at this moment, this impudent girl did indeed carry a bit of Prince Yexuan’s demeanor.

However, to her remark, the Emperor found himself momentarily at a loss for a response.

Eunuch Qing didn’t know what to say either.

Even if she wasn’t Long Qianyue’s daughter, she has only just found out, hasn’t she?

This... couldn’t be considered a crime of deceiving the sovereign, could it?

With the nobles silent, Chu Hongtao became anxious and hurriedly said, "You vile creature! How dare you be so insolent before the Emperor! Kneel and admit your guilt!"

Chu Qianli, who wasn’t even afraid of the Emperor, how could she possibly fear a so-called father who had never held any true affection for her?

She sneered coldly, her demeanor brazen and arrogant.

Long Ye wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a word.

Today, feeling utterly drained, he was also out of strength.

Standing beside Long Ye, Long Feifan looked at Chu Qianli with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He had been fighting abroad for years and had little contact with this young niece of his.

All he heard was how willful she was.

But now, seeing Chu Qianli, the term ’willful’ seemed to take on a commendable aspect in his eyes.

Her pride was endearing in a way he hadn’t anticipated.

Such a pity, why couldn’t she be Qianyue’s daughter?

He realized how much he actually liked this little girl!

Chu Qianli continued to look at the Emperor and suddenly said with a sneer, "Empty words prove nothing, and with just their testimony, who can guarantee that what they have said is true? I could also claim that Qin Liuyan, in order to help her daughter Chu Huaiyu ascend, is slandering me as not being Long Qianyue’s daughter."

She stepped forward and said with a smile, "I do, however, have a way to prove that I am indeed the true daughter of Long Qianyue!"
