Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Taste the Flavor of Being Wronged
Feng Yexuan was never fond of explanations.
With a wave of his hand, Qing Ming immediately turned and walked out the door.
Before long, Qing Ming hurried back and reported, "Prince, indeed there are two corpses in the woodshed."
"One died from a severed carotid artery, and the other from poisoning. Both bodies bear potent poison."
Chu Qianli coldly retorted, "Quit your pretense before me. If they aren't your men, whose could they possibly be in the Prince Residence?"
Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened as he spoke unhappily, "I said they weren't, and they weren't!"
"If not you, who else could it be? It was clearly you!" Chu Qianli insisted firmly.
Anger flared in Feng Yexuan, "You dare to question me?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"You..." Feng Yexuan was rendered speechless with frustration.
No one had ever dared to question her like this!
This woman was definitely the first!
At this moment, Chu Qianli didn't seem angry at all; instead, she looked at him, her laughter cold.
"What? Has the Prince finally tasted the bitterness of being wrongly accused?"
Feng Yexuan's lips thinned, but he remained silent.
So this woman had insisted it was his men all along, just to make him taste the flavor of being wronged?
"You knew all along that they were not sent by me?"
Chu Qianli shrugged off his hand and turned to sit in the chair, crossing her long legs.
"If they were your men, why act so sneaky?"
Every person in and out of the Prince Residence was his man.
He could easily kill her if he wanted to. There was no need to murder by poison to silence someone.
Although in Chu Qianli's eyes, Feng Yexuan was far from being a good person.
But the War God, revered by the masses, had no need to lie to her.
"Moreover, they wanted to humiliate me before killing me. How could your men dare to do so?"
Even at her worst, she was still his Princess; to humiliate her was to humiliate the War God himself.
"They wanted to humiliate you?" Although Feng Yexuan managed to keep a neutral expression, he clenched his fists covertly.
Qing Ming instantly sensed his rage.
Those people, they had the audacity of a leopard, the gall of a bear!
In Yexuan's Prince Residence, they even dared to lay hands on the Prince's woman!
Even if the Prince didn't favor the Princess, he would never tolerate any man humiliating his wife like this!
"Rest assured, Prince, I will thoroughly investigate this matter!" Qing Ming bowed slightly and promptly exited the room.
Off to attend to the business.
Feng Yexuan remained silent, his gaze on Chu Qianli.
This woman, why has she changed so much since tonight?
In the past, she would always act shy and demure before him, putting her best foot forward.
Her behavior was affected, artificial, and repulsive!
But her, right now... after pushing him away, she sat down on the chair and even propped up her leg.
With no grace in her posture, her actions frivolous, she showed not a trace of nervousness.
She didn't even try to please him desperately as she used to!
Yet somehow, this version of Chu Qianli slightly appeased his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me with that expression? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman before?" Chu Qianli leaned back in the chair.
Her gaze, although not disdainful, lacked any emotion.
"Now that the Prince has tasted the flavor of being wronged, can you empathize a little?"
"I didn't drug Fourteenth Prince! You commanded someone to kill Cuicui, severing my lead, and isn't the Prince's action far worse than my unreasonable behavior just now?"
To that, Feng Yexuan offered no rebuttal.
"Do you insist that you are innocent?" he finally asked.
Chu Qianli gave him a look and couldn't help but snort, "Nonsense!"
At that, Feng Yexuan's face visibly soured, "You better watch your attitude!"
This woman, in a single night, had repeatedly incited his anger multiple times!
Had it been someone else, they would have already been crushed to death by him!
Chu Qianli glared back at him, not at all intimidated:
"When the Prince was wronged, your attitude was tens of millions of times worse than mine! Can't I be a little bit angry?"
Feng Yexuan was taken aback, unexpectedly left without a retort.
Indeed, she must have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Would she have dared to do this before?
The Chu Qianli before him, was she truly Chu Qianli?
Could she be an impostor?
