Volume One, Chapter 21: Who Is the Murderer?

“You unfilial daughter!” Lin Wenyuan’s face turned ashen with anger, yet he dared not stop her from leaving. All he could do was shout loudly, “From this day forward, the Second Miss is confined to the Purple Bamboo Garden. Without my permission, she is not allowed to step outside the courtyard.”

“Your Highness doesn’t know, but Seventh Prince was also unaware at first... Later... later I revealed my identity to him, and only then did he understand.” Yue Rou’s expression suddenly grew desolate.

She intended to say, “I beg to decline,” but when she looked up, she met Mo Ming’s slightly lowered face. His smile was light and faint, yet brimming with profound confidence—so stunningly handsome that it sent a shiver down Nuanyang’s spine.

Still, Han Yunfan had to prepare just in case the police launched a sudden interrogation and arrested Wei Daya ahead of time—that would be quite troublesome.

After a night of contemplation, she decided it was best to take the initiative to meet Gong Yanqing. After all, Gong Yanqing’s sudden arrival in Gadeles was surely for a reason. Why else would she be entangled with Gloria without cause? Naturally, it was because she was in Gadeles, and the two of them wanted to do something to embarrass her.

When Jin Xiurong and Ji Feng saw Shui Mei, their eyes widened in shock and their hearts raced as they froze in place. Didn’t she drink the lotus seed soup laced with poison? Why wasn’t she dead? What on earth was going on?

Han Wuying’s expression darkened slightly; he had no retort. It was a pity that Qin Wentian was nowhere to be found. Had they joined forces, they could surely have taken down this evil child.

“Village chief, what’s wrong? You look like a frostbitten eggplant. Did something happen?” Han Yunfan asked curiously.

I want to take this moment to thank everyone for your support. Just a slight move of your mouse multiplies my motivation manyfold.

Nuanyang thought carefully and found the idea quite agreeable. If given the chance to go out in the future, she could also taste Ji Ping’s cooking. Before she was transported to the Great Prosperity Kingdom, she had played Happy Restaurant on Happy Net and was once deeply engrossed in it.

Those reporters, armed with long guns and cameras, instantly surrounded the car, leaving no gaps. Xu Tao barely managed to slowly drive the car out of the parking lot, but then he was unable to move forward any further.

Thus, Master Fourth had played the role of a despicable father once, selling Hongfen to her and to the Ulanara family.

That virtuous official genuinely wanted to help the two reconcile, hoping they would reunite as husband and wife. Yet he was unaware that the husband harbored lingering resentment over the matter. Because of the official’s words, he hesitated, unable to make a firm decision, and grew suspicious and paranoid, constantly doubting whether his wife was being unfaithful.

The Li family village was very quiet at night, with only the occasional bark of dogs breaking the silence.

Though Xia He was eager to leave immediately, she hesitated. But when she glanced at Dongfang Shuo’s meaningful gaze, her whole body stiffened. She nodded quickly and left. After walking some distance, she looked back, but the two people she had just seen were gone.

In the East Sea dwelled a giant dragon named Tiger Jiao! Though called a jiao, it was a purebred dragon and a notorious fierce beast in ancient times—capable of churning rivers and overturning seas, cruel and ruthless.

Holding the black hair, staggering, she walked towards the inner chamber, muttering the same sentence continuously. There was even a hint of madness in her expression.

Chun Yu took the silver coins and mysteriously leaned close to Meng Xiaoran’s side. The two were close in age, and Chun Yu often liked to chat with her. Naturally, Meng Xiaoran was happy to share and gleaned much information from her.

Fang Yong was indeed delighted upon hearing this. He put on a show, cupping his hands and bowing, “Thank you kindly for your generous favor, Miss.” After saying this, he went upstairs to change his clothes.
