C606 Good end (1/2)
Lian Shiya looked at Lian Ruyue and suddenly calmed down, saying, ”Lian Ruyue, don't think you can lie to me. I've seen many of your tricks, and now you've deliberately asked me to say these words to you. You're probably trying to trick me.” ”The Fourth Prince hates you so much, so how could he possibly want to marry you? You must have some kind of conspiracy, and I won't be fooled.”
”If Third Sister doesn't want to do that, I can't do anything about it. Senior Servant Tai, escort Third Miss out.” Lian Ruyue instructed.
After Lian Shiya left, the expression on Lian Ru Yue's face sank.
”Eldest Miss, why are you talking to Third Miss about this?” asked Indigo, puzzled.
”A'Yue's life or death is uncertain. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's start with Lian Shiya.” Lian Ruyue said.
When she left the Lian Family, Lian Shiya's expression was extremely unsightly. She sat on the carriage and held the jade pendant Feng Qianyue had gifted her. In her mind, she recalled Lian Yue's words.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, when she found out that Princess Eleven was not dead, the fourth prince should immediately inform her uncle and inform him about the evidence.
However, the fourth prince would never mention it to his uncle.
The Fourth Prince must have wanted to force the Eleventh Princess out of the burning shop in the west of the capital yesterday. However, he had never mentioned the matter to her. Until today, he had only said that she should return to the Prime Minister's Estate to take a look …
She slowly raised her hand and touched her face that was still rough despite the thick makeup. She pinched the jade pendant tightly and said fiercely:
”No, Lian Ruyue, your mother and my mother fought for a lifetime, and in the end, my mother died a miserable death. Now, I will absolutely not give you the chance to snatch my man!”
As she spoke, two streams of tears flowed from her eyes and she said:
”Your Highness, why did you lie to me?” ”You said that you wouldn't let Lian Ru Yue go. You captured Princess Eleven, so as long as we escort her to the emperor, the truth will be revealed. Yet you beat around the bush. Could it be that you really want to threaten Lian Ru Yue because of this?”
Once she returned to the Duke's Palace, she immediately went to Feng Qianyue's study to request for a meeting. When she entered, she saw that there was indeed an embroidered shoe placed in front of Feng Qianyue's table. That shoe's appearance was exactly the same as Lian Ruyue had said it would be.
She bent her knees and asked, ”Why did Your Highness come back first without waiting for me?”
”You and the Lian Family's Madam and Mistress have matters to discuss. This King has received courtesy, so he has come back first.” Feng Qianyue frowned slightly as he spoke.
”So that's how it is.” Lian Shiya looked at the embroidered shoes in front of him and asked, ”Are these Princess Eleven's?”
Feng Qianyue nodded.
”I wonder where Your Highness is holding Princess Eleven? What does Your Highness intend to do?” Lian Shiya continued to ask.
However, when Feng Qianyue heard this, his expression turned cold. His eyes focused and his face became expressionless as he said coldly:
”No one can question this king like that, not even you, Uncle Xiao, nor the Duke of Xiao. Pay attention to your own identity, Lian Shiya.”
”Your majesty redemption.” Lian Shiya hurriedly kneeled down when she saw Feng Qian become increasingly angry and said as she clenched her fists tightly.
Feng Qianyue looked coldly at the person crawling in front of him, and said, ”Do not take an inch in front of this duke, or else, you'll be asking for trouble and get down.”
”...” ”Yes.” Lian Shiya bit her lower lip. She slowly stood up and said with a trembling voice.
