Chapter 87: He Believes Her!

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: He Believes Her!

"The Empress Dowager was indeed upset, but the person who angered her was not me, but Yu Linglong,"

Chu Qianli glanced at Feng Yexuan and coldly huffed, "If I told you that Yu Linglong pretended to hang herself to commit suicide and I exposed her in front of the Empress Dowager’s eyes, would you believe me?"

The one who passed him the message was surely Yao Momo from the Empress Dowager’s side.

Yao Momo colluding with Yu Linglong, she clearly wasn’t a good person.

Feng Yexuan didn’t speak, his lips lightly pursed, and even though his expression was cold, it was unspeakably attractive.

However, Qing Ming didn’t quite believe it, "Princess, Yu Linglong is meticulous in her thoughts, how could she do something so foolish?"

"So you don’t believe me either, you think I’m only trying to absolve myself, right?" Chu Qianli sneered.

"Subordinate...," Qing Ming trailed off.

Chu Qianli didn’t pay him any more attention and boarded the carriage with Feng Yexuan before closing her eyes to rest.

Qing Ming didn’t believe her, and now Feng Yexuan must have also disbelieved.

Therefore, there was no point in explaining.

But to her surprise, just as she closed her eyes intending to rest,

the indifferent and low voice of the man nearby reached her:

"She has accompanied the Empress Dowager for many years, even if you exposed her, the most the Empress Dowager would do is get angry, she wouldn’t punish her severely."

"The Imperial Palace is her territory. In the future, do not meet with her privately inside the palace; her martial arts skills are greater than yours."

Chu Qianli’s eyes snapped open.

Feng Yexuan was resting with closed eyes, and Chu Qianli looked at his unemotional face.

Her heart, however, was suddenly in turmoil.

He believed her!

Even Qing Ming didn’t believe her, but he did!

He even believed that if left alone with her, Yu Linglong would harm her!

This man, he actually believed her!

The fingers of Chu Qianli hidden within her sleeve involuntarily clenched.

Looking at him again, he was still resting with eyes closed, his face serene and detached.

Chu Qianli’s lips parted slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing at all.

Yet her heart was inexplicably stirring...

This time, the carriage stopped at the gates of the Duke Residence.

Hearing that Prince Yexuan had brought the Princess back to visit their family, Duke Chu Buqu led the entire residence to personally greet them.

It was evident just how important this Prince Yexuan was in everyone’s hearts.

Chu Qianli followed behind Feng Yexuan, ignored all the way.

In the end, Chu Buqu took his sons and welcomed Feng Yexuan into the main hall for tea.

Chu Qianli was then thoroughly left to her own devices.

She went to the back courtyard of the Duke Residence.

This place where the original owner had lived for sixteen years now seemed both familiar and strange to her.

The memories were vivid, after all, they were deeply etched in her mind.

Yet emotionally, she felt almost nothing.

From behind a cluster of flowers not far away, she could overhear the laughter of young ladies.

Bored, Chu Qianli continued walking forward, bypassing the flower bed.

Unexpectedly, among those ladies, one holding something in her hands just happened to come out from behind the flowers.

Neither party noticed each other and that lady, not paying attention, bumped straight into Chu Qianli.

With a tremble of her hand, a clattering sound ensued as the object she held fell to the ground, scattering about.

"Who is so blind?"

The maid behind her scolded sharply.

But upon lifting her head and seeing who it was, she immediately was scared stiff.

"Seventh... Seventh Miss! Spare my life, Seventh Miss!"

The maid fell to her knees with a thud and immediately kowtowed, "Spare my life, Seventh Miss!"

The lady who had bumped into Chu Qianli was now bowing apologetically, her face filled with unease.

"I didn’t know Lili was here, sorry, it’s my fault, I’ve dirtied your dress, please don’t be angry, sister!"

The fifth young Miss of the Duke Residence, Chu Huaiyu, one of the three renowned beauties of the Imperial City.

Yet at this moment, in front of Chu Qianli, she was as humble as a servant.

Chu Qianli was startled, not having had the chance to react, when suddenly,

a cold voice rang out from behind: "Chu Qianli, how much longer are you going to bully Huaiyu?"
