It turned out that ever since Shen Fu became pregnant, Xiao Xuanjin had been afraid that something might happen to her.

Even with the renowned physician Yun Dai by his side, he was still somewhat uneasy, so he selected two maids skilled in martial arts to protect her safety.

Sure enough, it came in handy.

Meng Wan was only pushed, but her body flew out and crashed into a row of screens behind her.

Jun Anning broke out in a cold sweat and rushed to Shen Fu's side.

"Sister Shen, are you alright?"

Shen Fu shook her head.

She knew someone would protect her, so she wasn't worried.

Seeing Meng Wan fall to the ground in a disheveled state, her gaze suddenly sharpened.

If she had succeeded, the most likely victim would have been the unborn child.

Is this the purpose of her coming here today?

After confirming that she was alright, Jun Anning rushed over to Meng Wan.

Before Meng Wan could even get up, someone straddled her.

He slapped her repeatedly, left and right, with a series of resounding blows.

She was beaten until she was dizzy and disoriented, and her face burned with pain.

"Stop...stop hitting me!"

Jun Anning was furious.

Thinking back to what had just happened, she broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for the maid's timely protection, wouldn't Sister Shen and her child have been harmed by this vile woman again?

Everyone around was stunned by what they saw.

That's too awesome!

If Shen Fu hadn't had someone pull her away, Jun Anning might have slapped Meng Wan to death in her emotional outburst.

When I stopped, my palms were numb.

Meng Wan's cheeks were swollen high, resembling a pig's head, and blood was seeping from the corners of her mouth.

Because of her struggle and twisting, the bathrobe she was wearing suddenly slipped off, exposing her shoulders, neck, and arms.

A bright red mark came into view on the right side of the shoulder.

That is clearly...

Why were Shen Fu and Yun Dai guarding the hot spring pool just now?

The reason is that most of the women there are naked, making them easier to observe.

After soaking in the hot spring, put on a bathrobe and go to the rest room to relax.

They didn't see Meng Wan appear just now, which means she didn't enter the hot spring pool, but came directly here!

Shen Fu was startled and hurriedly took a few steps closer, wanting to see more clearly.

Those were indeed teeth marks!

How could this be...?

"Tell me, why do you have a mark on you?"

Meng Wan was clearly terrified after being beaten, and she quickly backed away.

"No...don't hit me..."

"Speak up if you don't want to get beaten up!"

"It's been with me since I have memories, and I don't know how it came to be."

Shen Fu's expression was extremely solemn.

I never expected that this person would be Meng Wan!

Her first reaction was, of course, disbelief!

The person they were so desperately looking for turned out to be their mortal enemy—how absurd!

There's definitely something wrong!

Unbeknownst to them, a woman in the crowd saw this and quietly turned and left.

Even after finding the "suspect," Shen Fu did not intend to make a fuss, but instead planned to take Meng Wan back for further questioning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped outside, I saw a grand procession parked in front of the hot spring resort.

Chu Lingyu wore a snow-white cloak, her hair was tied up with a jade crown, and her black hair hung down. Her noble aura made it impossible to look directly at her.

Upon seeing them appear, a slight smile curved his lips, and his voice was clear and melodious: "I heard that Princess Xuan has already helped me find my younger sister. Where is she now?"

Shen Fu paused, thinking, "Wasn't he getting this news way too fast?"

Could it be that he has been having people spying on her all along, and that her every move is being watched by him?

Since he came in person, it means he already knows the truth. It's impossible for him to hide it, so he has no choice but to confess the truth.

"A woman with markings was indeed found, but her identity is suspicious and she may be an imposter. I was planning to inform Your Highness after I had investigated the matter."

Shen Fu was certain that Meng Wan could not possibly be the person they were looking for.

She was afraid that the person in front of her would be easily deceived, that he was so eager to find his sister that he would be used without realizing it.

Meng Wan and her ilk are incredibly cunning and have been plotting against me. Once she is given the identity of the Princess of Dongyue, things will likely get complicated.

Therefore, she must do everything in her power to stop all of this!

Chu Lingyu raised an eyebrow: "This matter concerns my imperial sister. I will judge the truth myself. Just hand her over quickly."

Shen Fu couldn't help but clench her fingers. Did he not trust her?

At this moment, Meng Wan, who had been unconscious, woke up and made a weak sound.

"Help...help me..."

Chu Lingyu's gaze fell on the woman behind Shen Fu. "And this is...?"

A trusted aide stepped forward and reminded him, "Your Highness, she is the woman with the mark on her body; she is very likely the princess we are looking for."

The person looked somewhat familiar, and Shen Fu immediately realized that she was the one who had been in the rest room earlier, and was also the informant of this Crown Prince of Dongyue.

When Chu Lingyu saw Meng Wan's disheveled appearance, her face swollen like a pig's head, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"The Princess Consort of Xuan found the person, and not only did she not allow anyone to inform me, she even resorted to torture?"

Shen Fu's expression was frank and open; she showed no shame whatsoever, but rather a strong sense of righteousness.

"She just tried to harm me, the princess. I was just teaching her a lesson."

"Oh? Then tell me, how did my royal sister plot against you?"

Upon hearing the words "Imperial Sister," Shen Fu's heart sank.

He didn't even investigate further before making a preconceived notion about Meng Wan's identity.

Is this clearly helping her deal with herself?

Meng Wan immediately seized the opportunity and put on a weak and pitiful appearance.

"Your Highness, save me! Princess Xuan...she's going to kill me!"

Chu Lingyu's expression hardened as he looked at Shen Fu. "You not only tortured her, but you also wanted to kill her to silence her?"

Shen Fu had just noticed a hint of worry and a touch of subtle concern in the other person's eyes.

I was just wondering if I had seen it wrong?

Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was clearly worried about Meng Wan!

"Just now, in full view of everyone, she deliberately plotted to harm me, the Princess Consort. Shouldn't she be punished?"

Meng Wan immediately retorted, "I didn't, I just... I accidentally slipped and fell, it wasn't on purpose."

Chu Lingyu immediately looked at his confidant, who quickly revealed the truth.

"Miss Meng did slip at that moment, and she was facing the direction of Princess Xuan. Before she could get close, she was knocked away by the princess's maid."

Chu Lingyu's face instantly darkened. "So, the Princess Consort is unharmed, but my younger sister is to be punished like this for an 'unintentional mistake'? Is there any justice left in this world?"

At this moment, King Xuan, Jun Jingyan, and others arrived.

Jun Qiyuan and Murong Xiao also arrived one after another.

With everyone present, a major battle was about to erupt.
