Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 377 - 376: Do you think I would help you frame Huaiyu?

Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Do you think I would help you frame Huaiyu?

"It was you who kidnapped Princess Pingyue and tried to assassinate our young lady, only to be killed by her in self-defense. How dare you have the audacity to ask the Prince to judge in your favor?"

As for the thief shouting ’catch the thief,’ Fu Ning had seen it more than once.

It was just very rare to see someone who could perform evil and gentle weakness with such clear and vivid expression.

If Fu Ning hadn’t seen her evil side with his own eyes, even he would doubt whether he could be deceived by her acting skills!

What an incredibly brilliant performance!

"Is that so?" Chu Huaiyu’s gaze fell on Fu Ning, "Are you the maid that Chu Qianli recently took back? Do you know about the incident with her previous maid?"

Fu Ning glared at her, "What are you trying to do?"

"I haven’t thought of anything. I am now in your hands; what else could I possibly do?"

Chu Huaiyu smiled faintly, when she mentioned "the previous maid," the sorrow in Chu Qianli’s eyes was unmistakably hard to hide.

Hah, it was just a lowly maid, and yet this wretched woman took her so seriously.

"I only overheard the servants saying that most people around Chu Qianli don’t end well. This woman... has a strong fate, she will doom everyone close to her to death."

In the end, Chu Huaiyu’s gaze fell on Feng Yexuan.

"Prince, catching a thief with the stolen goods, I am not afraid of Chu Qianli’s false accusations. I only hope that the Prince, before you convict me, will first present the evidence."

Today, they all came in a large group, and Chu Huaiyu wasn’t foolish enough to believe that Feng Yexuan was here for idle chit-chat.

Now, it was very clear that Feng Yexuan was standing on Chu Qianli’s side.

He chose to believe in Chu Qianli.

However, let’s not forget that she held another very important identity.

"As long as the Prince can produce evidence that proves I am indeed the culprit who kidnapped Princess Pingyue, then even if the Prince punishes me, or even kills me, I think my mother in the afterlife would not blame you, Prince."

Feng Yexuan did not speak.

A shiver ran through Leng Ji’s heart.

Chu Huaiyu was about to use Long Qianyue to file a complaint against the Prince!

As for evidence or no evidence, actually, Chu Huaiyu didn’t really care.

But, her status was there for all to see!

As long as she remained Long Qianyue’s daughter, the Prince could not possibly let Chu Qianli kill her.

The identity of Long Qianyue’s daughter was her immunity from death!

Unable to help himself, Leng Ji looked towards Chu Qianli.

Unexpectedly, not only was Chu Qianli not angry, she was, on the contrary, calm and composed.

"Ziyue has already awakened. She is the best evidence. Chu Huaiyu, what else do you have to say?"

Chu Huaiyu’s face changed.

Everyone else was also silent.

Although Long Ziyue had not yet woken up, when Chu Huaiyu heard she had and saw the change in her expression in that instant, it was enough to explain everything.

Chu Huaiyu clenched the palm hidden in her sleeve, not looking at Chu Qianli but only at Feng Yexuan.

"I didn’t do it, I simply didn’t do it. Prince, Chu Qianli and Princess Pingyue have a very good relationship. It’s not impossible that they want to frame me together."

"Would Princess Pingyue risk her own life in a bet to frame you?" Fu Ning was truly impressed.

How could there be such shameless people!

Now, even explanations were spared.

Just a blatant denial to the end!

Chu Huaiyu’s icy gaze suddenly swept over.

In the depths of those eyes, was a fleeting, spine-chilling murderous intent.

Fu Ning inadvertently got startled by it, subconsciously hiding by Chu Qianli’s side.

This woman, so... so terrifying!

"Prince, I know this is difficult for you now, but I would like to ask you to meet someone. Perhaps after you do, you will no longer feel troubled," she said.

Chu Qianli smiled faintly and turned to glance at Fu Ning.

"The people are already waiting at the back door, Miss, I’ll invite them over now!" Fu Ning hurriedly said.

Fu Ning fled as if flying, not knowing why, but always feeling that Chu Huaiyu was truly terrifying.

Just that one look from her was enough to cause an inexplicable sense of fear and make one’s scalp tingle.

Before long, Fu Ning had brought two people over.

One of them was a friend of Han Zhan.

An unremarkable person, but, with exceptional martial arts.

Another...

Chu Huaiyu’s complexion changed, and she subconsciously retreated a half step, her entire body filled with a defensive aura in an instant!

Qin Liuyan!

How could she still be alive?

That day, she had personally checked—Qin Liuyan was dead!

Qin Liuyan followed the man over, and upon seeing so many people, she became visibly panicked.

Especially when she saw Prince Yexuan!

Just arriving, her legs went weak, and with a thud, she knelt down, paying respects to Feng Yexuan, "Greetings to the Prince."

Feng Yexuan waved his hand dismissively.

Leng Ji immediately went over and helped her up.

Although Feng Yexuan also didn’t believe that Qin Liuyan could be Chu Qianli’s mother—after all, the disparity in temperament between the two was enormous—he had to maintain appearances publicly.

"Huaiyu..." After getting up, Qin Liuyan realized that Chu Huaiyu was also there.

Seeing Chu Huaiyu, her emotions suddenly became complex, and she felt a bitter taste in her heart.

The last time she "died," she was actually still conscious.

At first, she thought Huaiyu would be sad and heartbroken over her death.

But what she didn’t expect was that once she was "dead," Huaiyu would leave her behind and walk away.

What she expected even less was that the person who ultimately saved her life would be Chu Qianli, the one she had always been framing.

"Chu Qianli, what are you trying to do by bringing your mother here?"

Chu Huaiyu glared at Chu Qianli, and then, her gentle gaze fell on Qin Liuyan, "Auntie Qin, I’m so glad you’re not dead!"

Her eyes were full of surprise and even moved.

In the blink of an eye, her eyes turned wet, as if she was profoundly moved to see Qin Liuyan come back to life.

The doubts in Qin Liuyan’s heart dispersed at the sight of those two tears that seemed both hidden and apparent.

Her daughter’s heart was still with her after all.

All that had happened before was due to being forced by the situation; she must not have done it on purpose.

Thinking this, Qin Liuyan immediately stepped forward and approached Chu Huaiyu, then turned back to glare coldly at Chu Qianli.

"Even though you are my daughter, justice lies in people’s hearts. You want me to help you frame Huaiyu as not being Long Qianyue’s daughter, but as a mother, I can’t do that."

Everyone’s gaze instantly fell on Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli’s expression remained largely unflustered, and she turned to Han Zhan’s friend, "Thank you for your help these days; I will pay a visit another day to give my thanks."

The man gave a bow, understanding her meaning.

Household affairs were not suitable for outsiders to be present.

He gave a reverential nod to Feng Yexuan and, after paying his respects, he left.

Only then did Chu Qianli turn to look at Qin Liuyan.

Before Chu Qianli could speak, Qin Liuyan hurried to Feng Yexuan’s side, saying, "Prince Yexuan, although my life was saved by Chu Qianli, I cannot support her in doing something wrong against my conscience."

She took a breath, then said, "Huaiyu is truly the daughter of Long Qianyue; this is absolutely true!"
