Chapitre 358: On Second Thought

Li Xueyue was not aware that Hanjian had this type of tradition. She heard this practice was prevalent in Wuyi but didn't think it would occur in Hanjian as well. She could do nothing but mutely stare as the maidservants brought the white sheets forward.

Yu Zhen squeezed her hand in reassurance. If there was foul play, he would protect her. If she had lied to him yesterday night, he would still protect her. 

If anything, confrontations should occur in private, not in public, and definitely not in front of the in-laws.

The maidservants bowed their heads. The white sheets were strategically folded to reveal what was needed to be seen without a mess.

"Your Majesty, Your Grace," they addressed. "The Crown Princess was pure. She has bled."

Li Xueyue saw the satisfaction on the Imperial Family's faces. They nodded in response and turned to her with a pleased smile. In particular, the Empress expressed her sympathy.
