When Meng Wan saw the person appear at the door, her pupils shrank in fright.

When did he arrive?

Could it be that they overheard their conversation?

She pretended to be nonchalant and, as usual, stepped forward to throw herself into his arms.

The next moment, he was violently pushed to the ground.

Meng Wan's body crashed heavily to the ground. When the pain struck, she was still in disbelief, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

Just as I was about to question them, I was intimidated by their cold gaze.

"What does the truth of what happened back then mean? What exactly have you been hiding from me?"

Meng Wan's heart skipped a beat. He heard her?

In a moment of panic, she quickly denied it: "No...no, you misunderstood! I heard that Shen Fu died and I was worried that this matter would lead to us, so I came to discuss countermeasures with the First Prince."

Seeing Jun Qiyuan's ashen face, it was clear he didn't believe it.

In desperation, she turned to Murong Xiao, hoping he could find a way to help her out of this predicament.

He said he would help keep the secret, so we can't just sit idly by, can we?

Unexpectedly, Murong Xiao harbored resentment towards Shen Fu the moment he learned of her death.

They'd be lucky if they didn't kick someone when they're down, how could they possibly help?

He sneered and looked at Jun Qiyuan: "Since we've already been deceived for so many years, why bother to get to the bottom of it? It's better to turn a blind eye and make yourself feel better."

Jun Qiyuan was certainly not a fool.

When he overheard their conversation, he felt a chill run through his body and his hair stood on end.

He had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but he dared not accept the outcome.

No, that won't happen!

If all of that is true, then what has he become?

Is it a complete joke?

In a fit of extreme panic and rage, he lunged forward and grabbed Murong Xiao by the collar like a madman.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"What's the truth? You shouldn't be asking me, but rather your good lover, shouldn't you?"

Jun Qiyuan snapped out of his daze and immediately glared at Meng Wan.

"What exactly happened back then? Who was the person who saved my life?"

That icy, piercing gaze made her tremble and she quickly shook her head.

"Have you forgotten the day we first met? You collapsed by the roadside, and I had someone rescue you. Your mother saw you were ragged and thought you were just a beggar; she figured it was fine if you died. But I couldn't bear to watch a living person die before my eyes, so I insisted they save you. How can you doubt me?"

She said this to highlight her kind and noble qualities.

When everyone else was indifferent and cruel to him, only she was willing to lend a helping hand.

Little did she know that these words would plunge her into an abyss.

Jun Qiyuan questioned, "Back then, besides the coachman, she only had a nanny and a maid. Where did this 'mother' come from?"

Meng Wan's vision went black.

Finished!

She has always been very cautious about what happened back then, and mostly just casually responds when Jun Qiyuan mentions it.

I only brought it up today because I noticed that Jun Qiyuan had become suspicious of me.

She carefully considered her words before saying them.

That girl was the same age as me back then, how could she not have her mother with her when she went out?

There's definitely no problem with that!

But little did they expect that this would cause such a huge mess.

Murong Xiao was also amazed by her foolishness.

We were so wary of him back then, but he ended up exposing himself?

It looks like there's going to be some good stuff to watch.

Seeing Jun Qiyuan's cold and terrifying gaze, Meng Wan could no longer maintain her composure. Her face instantly lost all color, and her voice became stammering.

"Yes... I remembered wrong! My mother and I often went out during that time, and she happened to be away that time, so I just blurted it out. There were indeed a nanny and a maid with me at the time!"

If I hadn't overheard their conversation, I might have been able to get away with it.

But Jun Qiyuan had already become suspicious, his gaze fixed on her, not giving her any chance to escape.

"Then tell me, how old was the doctor who saved me back then?"

Having learned from her previous experience, Meng Wan dared not speak up easily this time.

"So many years have passed, my memory of it is already hazy, so..."

"Impossible. Back at the post station, you praised his medical skills and were deeply impressed by him."

Forced into a corner, Meng Wan could only casually give an age.

"Around forty or fifty years old!"

Most doctors are around this age, so even by probability, they shouldn't be wrong, right?

Seeing Jun Qiyuan's expression suddenly change, she quickly corrected herself, "That means he was in his sixties or seventies. I already said it's been too long and I can't quite remember."

The next instant, a large hand gripped her neck tightly.

The sudden force made her eyes roll back, and she almost blew herself up.

The sound that rang in her ears was like a chilling hell, sending shivers down her spine.

"Back then, she only had the driver fetch a doctor; she didn't go into the clinic herself. How could she know his real age if she'd never even seen what he looked like? You were definitely lying!"

Meng Wan's lies were completely exposed, leaving her no room for further explanation.

Overwhelmed by the fear of death, she could no longer restrain herself and struggled, biting hard into Jun Qiyuan's hand.

Taking advantage of the other person's pain, he shoved them away and started coughing violently.

She had no doubt that if she didn't find a way to save herself, she would be strangled to death.

Seeing Jun Qiyuan's anger, instead of reflecting on her own actions, she shifted all the blame back onto him.

"You were the one who first assumed I was your savior; I was just going along with it. If you have someone to blame, it's yourself!"

"What did you say?"

Jun Qiyuan was already furious, and this time he completely lost his mind, drawing his sword to stab Meng Wan.

He wanted to kill this woman; she had deceived herself so deeply!

Seeing that he was serious, Meng Wan quickly ran behind Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao originally only wanted to watch the show, but he never expected that the flames of war would get involved with him.

If I don't intervene, I'll definitely get hurt; I have no choice but to swing my sword away.

"Things have come to this point, killing her won't change anything. Don't you want to find your true savior?"

These words reminded Jun Qiyuan, and he finally regained some of his senses.

He thought Murong Xiao was just trying to be helpful, but he didn't see the deeper fear creeping into Meng Wan's eyes.

"So what if she saved you back then? It was just a fleeting encounter. I've been by your side for so many years, going through countless ups and downs together. Do you think our years of friendship can't compare to hers?"

Jun Qiyuan's response, however, plunged her heart into despair.

"If you're not her, what right do you have to compare yourself to her?"
