Chapter 273 Bai Ruo’s Doomsday 2 ” (2/2)
“Mother, what is this all about? I thought you were….” The prince nervously asks, afraid what he saw was but an illusion.
Like the son of the former queen, the officials of the Court were also at a loss over what to do. They wanted to know but knew only the woman herself can give the story. Their anxious eyes had given away their curiosity.
Under the hatred filled gaze from her mother-in-law, Bai Ruo’s pretentious face had finally crumbled into desperation.
“My son, you best ask your good wife about this matter!” That smile was cold, very cold: “Back then I trusted her, that’s why I made the mistake of handing down a decree for Bai Yan’s marriage. I never thought His Majesty would be so angry. And out of worry for me pulling her down, your wife went for my life without hesitation!”
Ning Dai’s iris was spewing flame like it would engulf her target: “If it weren’t for Lord Cang who had the honor of passing through that night, I fear I would’ve died along with my servant.” Closing her eyes as if reminiscing the past, Ning Dai appears pained by what she experienced.
She truly regrets it, regret her past doing and how she nearly lost her life because of Bai Ruo’s lies and deceit.
Understanding there’s no other possible truth but the truth, Nangong Yi (crown prince) slowly turned towards the person.
“So Liu and Green Reader did not lie, everything is your doing!” Those eyes only carried with it disgust and utter disappointment as he eyed the woman he called wife.
He can ignore the maid, he can ignore that fortune reader, but he can never ignore his own mother! For a moment there, his very stomach was churning so badly that he nearly threw up on the spot, that’s how disgusted he felt for sharing a bed with this woman.
“Tell me, are all those stories about Bai Yan fake? Are they all lies that you made up?”
The most laughable part out of all of this was how gullible he himself was. He actually believed everything without confirming a word of it!
“Husband,” Bai Ruo can no longer keep her composure and fell into a panic. Taking to her knees, she pleads: “Please have mercy on my life. No matter what, I gave birth to our child. I know I’m wrong.”
“Enough!” The prince roars, “You still have the nerve to talk about our son? Do you know what you have done? You’ve ruined Lin’s future, ruined his life!”
