The recent events at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion eventually reached the ears of Jun Qiyuan and others.

When Bai Shi and Xu Ruoyan were driven out, the Duke's Mansion issued an order forbidding anyone from discussing the matter.

Unexpectedly, they died that very night, and their bodies were torn to pieces!

This incident caused a great uproar, and the entire capital was talking about it.

The Ministry of Justice has taken over the investigation, and it will inevitably uncover their relationship with the Duke's Mansion.

This incident also led to a series of events, including Bai's affair with her lover, which resulted in her being caught in the act.

This includes the fact that Shen Fu was accused of being a fake heiress.

Others might not think much of it, but how can you take the words of two liars seriously?

Moreover, it was Shen Fu herself who exposed Bai's plot to seduce the Duke.

Even if they harbor resentment and deliberately try to frame someone, it's not surprising.

But given Jun Qiyuan's suspicious nature, he felt that this matter was not so simple.

Even if they really wanted to take revenge on Shen Fu, they wouldn't choose such an absurd and foolish method.

If a statement sounds like a lie, what's the point of saying it?

Unless... what they're saying is true!

Jun Qiyuan clenched his fists, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

Why did he marry Shen Fu and try so hard to win her favor?

Despite being turned away countless times, he refused to give up, resorting to all sorts of desperate tactics, humiliating himself and his dignity.

He even made his beloved woman, Meng Wan, suffer so much injustice, watching helplessly as he married another woman as his legal wife.

Everything was for her status as the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

If this identity is fake from beginning to end, then what am I?

The thought of how much effort he had wasted on a fake made him so angry that his eyes were blazing and he felt like he was about to explode.

He rushed to the inn in the northern suburbs immediately, wanting to discuss countermeasures with them.

Taking the opportunity, Meng Wan added fuel to the fire: "I think she is the real culprit who killed the Bai mother and daughter. She was afraid that her true identity as a fake heiress would be exposed, so she acted out of guilt and killed them."

Jun Qiyuan clearly thought so too, and the cold glint in his eyes could not be concealed.

He projected all his misfortunes onto Shen Fu, filled her with endless hatred, and felt guilty and indebted to Meng Wan.

If he had known this would happen, he would have been better off marrying Meng Wan directly instead of trying to switch brides.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made one mistake after another, pushing her further and further away, watching helplessly as she became someone else's woman, and even when she was humiliated, he could only swallow his anger.

Considering Shen Fu's identity, he suddenly felt that it was all for nothing.

Meng Wan continued, "How could an imposter stir up such turmoil in the court, allowing the Xuan King, the Second Prince, and even the Crown Prince of Dongyue to manipulate her like this? Don't you think she's clearly a fickle and troublesome woman? If this person isn't eliminated, the consequences will be endless!"

In fact, she had always been worried that Shen Fu was the girl who saved Jun Qiyuan back then, and was also his true savior.

Murong Xiao took a liking to Shen Fu and always wanted to possess her.

That's why she was reminded to find a way to get rid of Shen Fu's child, in order to prepare to possess her in the future.

The two men beside her were both moving closer to Shen Fu.

This feeling is far too dangerous.

What does it matter if she only gets rid of a child? What she really wants is Shen Fu's life!

Upon hearing her words, Jun Qiyuan couldn't help but clench his fists.

He used to regard Shen Fu as a stepping stone to complete his grand plan, but now she has joined the Second Prince's camp and repeatedly opposes him.

If things continue like this, forget about the throne he so desperately wants; he might even lose his life to her.

Under Meng Wan's instigation, he completely let go of the last trace of affection and reluctance he had for Shen Fu deep in his heart, and harbored murderous intent towards her.

This woman is clearly his nemesis!

Only by killing her can he turn the tide.

……

After dealing with the Bai family, Shen Fu was about to return to the Xuan Prince's residence.

When she left, the Shen family members saw her off at the door, their eyes clearly filled with reluctance.

Shen Fu's eyes were also red.

Only Shen Xiucheng was trying to ease the tension.

"Why are you so sad? The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Prince of Xuan's mansion are only half an hour's drive apart. My little sister isn't marrying far away. She can come back anytime, and we can go to the Prince of Xuan's mansion to see her anytime. Why are you making it seem like she's gone and will never return?"

That being said, considering that she is now married and about to have a child, and is no longer the precious darling they used to cherish, how can her state of mind be compared to before?

In fact, although they didn't believe what Bai Shi and Xu Ruoyan said, they were still somewhat uneasy.

For some reason, I always have this feeling that I'm going to lose her?

This fear made them cherish her even more, afraid that one day she might really never come back.

As the carriage drove away, Shen Xiuwen suddenly spoke, revealing his true feelings.

"Actually, when Madam Bai said those words that day, although I didn't believe it, I still felt uneasy. These past two days, I've been thinking about one question: if my younger sister really isn't the Shen family's daughter, isn't our biological sister, what should you do?"

Shen Xiucheng was quite helpless about this: "Second brother, you are the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, you wouldn't actually believe such absurd words, would you?"

"Whether you believe it or not is one thing, how you do it is another."

The expressions of everyone became serious.

If Shen Fu really isn't the daughter of the Shen family...

Shen Ting'an was the first to state his opinion: "Whether it's true or not, she is a treasure bestowed upon our Shen family by heaven, and she will always be my daughter."

The others nodded in unison: "That's right, Fu'er is our sister, and even if the King of Heaven himself came, no one could change that!"

Unbeknownst to them, after leaving the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the carriage did not embark on the official road, but instead turned around at an alleyway and headed towards a secluded path.

The woman inside the carriage seemed to sense something was amiss and lifted the curtain to ask, "This isn't the usual route back to the Prince's Mansion. Why was the route changed?"

"Your Highness, it has snowed heavily these past two days, making the official road slippery and difficult to travel. I deliberately chose this safer side road."

The driver's answer was airtight, and the woman didn't suspect anything.

Unexpectedly, the road ahead became increasingly steep, and the carriage bounced more and more violently.

The woman, growing suspicious, asked again, "Where is this? Where are you taking me?"

Only then did the driver finally reveal his true colors.

"Princess, do not panic. This road is called the Road to the Underworld. I will send you to King Yama today."

The woman, her face filled with terror, immediately cried out, "No! Stop it!"

The coachman ignored him, whipping the horse hard, and the carriage hurtled straight toward the cliff.

With the horse's mournful neighing and the woman's terrified screams, the carriage and its riders plunged into the abyss.
