Chapter 237 (1/2)

If she foolishly exposed all of this, she could only be left to die.

The old granny pondered quickly and very soon arrived at an understanding of the situation. Thus she said with a smile: “Young miss, this old servant was formerly a granny in the palace and have participated multiples times in the examining of noblewomen. Young miss, do not worry, this old servant’s eyes are top tier.”

“Un.” Chen Yu nodded, her expression becoming a little more kind, “Then I will trouble granny. If you need me to cooperate on anything, just tell my servant.”

Yi Lin bowed on the side to greet her.

The granny quickly said: “It’s too dark at night, so I need someone to hold a candle. Would this girl go light a couple candles.”

Yi Lin complied and went to prepare them, but the granny continued: “Young miss, please go lie down on the bed and remove your pants.”

Chen Yu obediently did as she was told without the slightest embarrassment of a daughter from a wealthy family. This caused the granny to feel very shocked.

Adding on how Chen Yu did not cover her face with a cloth or something, instead facing her head on, the granny became even more uncertain.

At this time, Yi Lin came in with two lit candles. Handing one to the granny, she placed the other in a candlestick.

The granny pulled out something that looked like a wooden clamp from the bag that she had brought. She then informed Yi Lin: “Girl, you can put down the bed curtain.”

Yi Lin glanced at Chen Yu and saw her nod. Only then did she back up a couple steps and lower the bed curtain. She then went outside to keep watch.

The granny moved the clamp in her hand towards Chen Yu’s place. Chen Yu felt a little pain then the candle approach. Immediately following this, she heard the granny inhale sharply, seemingly having suffered a great shock.

Her heart trembled, as she rushed to ask: “What’s wrong?”

The hand holding the candle was slightly trembling. Hearing Chen Yu’s question, she did not know how to respond. Thinking a little, she replied: “No-nothing. The light is too dim, so I could not see clearly.” She said this while looking carefully, but she her brow furrowed tighter and tighter, as she became filled with more and more fear.

Chen Yu was lying down, so she could not see her expression. She was only filled with anxiety. Patiently waiting for a little longer, she asked once more: “How is it exactly? Is it still in tact?”

The granny released the clamp and raised the candle. Calming herself down, she said: “Young miss is indeed still pure. This is something this old servant can guarantee.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu felt a large weight lift off her heart. Seeing that the examination was completed, she quickly got up and put her clothes back on. She then got out of bed.

Yi Lin naturally heard the words inside. Emotional and happy for Chen Yu, she entered the room, “Young miss, you can finally be at ease.”

“Un.” She nodded, forcefully holding back her jubilation. Looking again at the granny, she felt that she still had something to say. But at this moment, she had already been given plenty of pleasant surprises. Her mind was clearer than it usually was, and she could tell that the granny’s current appearance was mostly likely related to money. She could not help but sneer and say: “How could this young miss owe a servant like you money.”

Following Chen Yu rolling her eyes, the things the granny wanted to say were swallowed back down. Thinking a little more, that was indeed the case. How could someone who was able to do something about that place be considered mediocre. If she said anything more, not only would the doubting Feng family’s eldest young miss not thank her, perhaps the person who had taken actions would kill her. She was not one to take part in such a bad deal.

But she was absolutely unable to realize that Feng Chen Yu dared to show her face and stand before her because Chen Yu never planned on letting her live after the examination.

She then saw Chen Yu raise her hand and gently call out: “Come out.”

The hidden guard, who had been hidden in some dark corner, saw Chen Yu nod to him and understood that matters were completed. Without saying another word, he rushed forward and grabbed hold of the granny’s neck.

The pitiful old servant did not manage to make a sound before her neck was snapped. As for Feng Chen Yu’s secret, this was taken with her to the grave, leaving nobody to know about it.

The hidden guard nimbly picked up the corpse and left. Chen Yu suddenly began laughing loudly and wantonly, without caring whether or not the night was tranquil.

This time, Yi Lin did not stop her. She knew that her young miss had held this back for a long time. Now that she could finally raise her head once more, she could laugh if she wanted to. Even if it were heard by someone else, it would be fine. The Feng family’s eldest young miss was a beauty capable of causing the collapse of countries. She truly did not believe that the Feng family would allow her to become a waste within the manor.

Chen Yu only stopped after she had exhausted herself from laughing. But her original jubilant expression slowly sank. Feng Fen Dai and the fifth prince’s engagement was like a fly that had flown into her throat. She was so nauseated that she could not breathe.

She thought similarly to what Feng Yu Heng had said. His Highness the eldest prince was thinking highly of her, yet she had listened to his Highness the third prince, giving away the gift that she had received. But what about his Highness the third prince? Up to this point, he had not expressed a single thing. Now that Fen Dai had a mountain to rely on, based on that girl’s personality, she would definitely abuse her power. So what about herself? Who could she rely on?
