Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Wuhen looked at Chu Qingchuan’s heartbroken expression and couldn’t resist but pinch her nose. Chu Qingchuan glared at Yu Wuhen and complained, “Milord, that hurt.”

Yu Wuhen moved his hand away and kissed Chu Qingchuan’s nose with a smile. “Don’t think about it anymore. Let’s mess around on the bed for a while.”

Chu Qingchuan nudged Yu Wuhen’s chest shyly. “Milord, could you be anymore shameless?”

“Yes. I can be shameless on the bed for you to see.” With that said, Yu Wuhen carried the dainty Chu Qingchuan in his arms and walked out of the guest hall.

Chu Qingchuan buried her head in Yu Wuhen’s chest, as her cheeks flushed shyly. She had forgotten all the unhappy things for earlier on.

Yu Wuhen smiled cheerfully, then walked towards a room.

The servant who just passed by, saw Yu Wuhen without his mask and their mouth gaped in shock. He never imagined that Lord Yu wasn’t actually disfigured. Who said spewed nonsense about Lord Yu being disfigured?

All of a sudden, Yu Wuhen looked off into the distance. His eyes squinted slightly, and he took a deep breath. With a completely determined look on his face, he continued to walk forward.

Since there’s way of going back to how things were, then he would have to create a new future.

There should also be an heir to Shenwei Castle.

Inside the dungeons.

Crack crack crack… A fat, old lady was being violently whipped.

“Ah! What did I actually do wrong for you lot to hold me here? Is there no law anymore? Is there no natural order anymore?” The old lady raised her head to reveal her fat face covered in cold sweat. Surprisingly, it was the boss lady from Merry.

Chu Yitian walked down the stairs at a casual pace, and headed directly for the boss lady. “I, the prince, have already had my men conduct a thorough investigation. Madam Wang and your personal maid, Xiao Lu, have already come out with the truth,” he said chillingly.

“P… Prince?” The boss lady’s eyes instantly widened.

Chu Yitian scoffed, then smirked wickedly. “What? Surprised are we? What if I told you that Qing’er is my sister, Chu Qingchuan. Are you even more surprised?”

As expected, the boss lady’s eyes widened as far as they could go. What? How did this happen?

This time, I’m done for! Completely done for!

For the crime of buying and selling the princess alone, she could be sentenced to death. Let alone the fact that she also made the princess drink abortion soup.

If she knew the truth, she would have locked up Qing’er in Merry forever and never sell her off. Perhaps, she would have showed kindess by just setting Qing’er free.

Now, what was she going to do?

She immediately cried and pleaded, “Third Prince, I had no idea! I didn’t know that Qing’er was actually a princess. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared do those things! Wahh wahh… I beg you, spare my life! I beg you to show mercy. Just this once!”

Chu Yitian thought about how she dared to lie to Chu Qingchuan, give her the abortion soup, knock her out and sell her to Xu Qingjue, and was furious.

“Don’t blame me for being merciless. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for offending the wrong people. There’s no one in Donghua who doesn’t know that my sister is naturally charming and plays the guqin very well. But somehow, you didn’t. Should I not assume that you actually were intentional in your crimes?”

The boss lady gaped in astonishment. Yes! How could she have not known?

After being clever all her life, she didn’t clearly check who was close to her. In her eyes, she only saw wordly possessions like money.

As the boss lady continued to think about it, her eyes turned red and a stream of regretful and hateful tears fell from her eyes.

So much hatred! She hated herself for only caring about making lots of money in the beginning, and not checking to see if she was raising a cat or a tiger by her side.

“There’s no use regretting it now. Many people have lost their lives because they misjudged another. You’re just one of them,” said Chu Yitian coldly.

Chu Yitian finished pointing out her mistakes, then gave his final order, “Execute her.”

Right when he was about to leave…

All of a sudden, he heard a trembling voice behind him. “Th… Third Prince, th… this old lady bit her tongue and kil… killed herself.”

Chu Yitian looked back and saw the boss lady’s head hung with blood dripping from her mouth. “She was truly clever to death. This was a much better death than a thousand cuts,” he said with a smirk.

“Whip the body for three days, then throw it out in the wild.”

“Yes, Third Prince!”
