Chapter 856: Chapter 854: Grandma, Be Careful

Calling her to appear will allow us to confirm her identity, so we can tell who my true granddaughter is,” the Empress Dowager stated with utmost seriousness.

Qin Rulie had just received a message from his aide and immediately said, “Imperial grandmother, she has arrived and is currently outside the hall.”

“Summon her at once!”

The Empress Dowager was very urgent.

Qin Muyan’s gaze also hurriedly shifted toward the entrance of the great hall.

Chu Yihan entered with Su Yingxue, their hands entwined, silhouetted against the backlight, making everything else around them mere backdrop.

This was an exceedingly beautiful scene.

The man, clad in white robes, moved with an ethereal grace, his aloof abstinence akin to both an immortal and a demon, yet his eyes were filled with doting affection as he looked at the woman beside him.

The woman, dressed in a pink silk gown, radiated stunning beauty intertwined with playful charm, especially with her smiling visage.

“Zheng Er… my Zheng Er!”

The Empress Dowager’s eyes widened, and she rose from her couch, running towards Su Yingxue heedlessly, almost tripping in her haste.

“Imperial grandmother!”

“Imperial grandmother!”

Qin Muyan and his brother hurriedly followed her.

“Grandmother, please be careful.”

Su Yingxue stretched out a hand to support the Empress Dowager, instinctively calling out “Grandmother.”

Perhaps it was because the old lady’s kind and benevolent eyes made her feel a sense of closeness.

“Grandmother… Grandmother…” the Empress Dowager said with tears brimming in her eyes, “It’s true, there’s no mistake! You look exactly like my Zheng Er, exactly the same! You must be Zheng Er’s daughter, my granddaughter!”

Qin Muyan was particularly delighted, “Yingxue, you really are Your Highness’s cousin!”

“Indeed, my suspicions were not unfounded!”

Qin Rulie was also very happy.

At the entrance of the hall, it was a harmonious scene of family recognition.

Inside the hall, however, there was a chilling silence.

Shen Yu’s heart seemed to shatter, clutching her chest forcefully, her lips turned pale from biting, “How could this happen… Why her!”

Su Yingxue!

How could it be her!

“Why not her? Didn’t you once notice your resemblance to her and even harbored thoughts of climbing up the social ladder through her?” Mu Fei’s cold laugh was heavy with mockery.

“How do you know?” Shen Yu’s face was ghostly pale.

The man before her looked like a woman, every aspect of his behavior was odd.

You needn’t worry about how I know. If you want to maintain your title as princess and secure your future of glory and wealth, then listen to me, do as I say, or I guarantee, in just a while, you will meet your end,” he whispered menacingly in her ear.

He stepped closer to Shen Yu, his voice chilling as he smiled, “How well did the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty treat you before? Once they find out you’re a fake, that you’ve deceived them, they will execute you most brutally, including your parents and family members, as well as those several brothers of yours who are still in the Great Cheng Dynasty. They will all be executed by lingchi.”

“Don’t!”

Shen Yu’s garments were already soaked with cold sweat from her back, “Whether they live or die doesn’t matter to me, I… I don’t want to die! I still want to enjoy this life of wealth and power, I still want to marry brother Muyan!”

Qin Muyan was the man who had captivated her at first sight!

How could she concede him to Su Yingxue?

Su Yingxue was already the favored daughter of heaven, the Ninth Princess Consort, so why did she have to come and steal what was hers! Why did she have to take her identity and status!

She was detestable!

“Remember your wish, and when the time comes, act accordingly.”

Mu Fei took the opportunity to slip half of a jade pendant into Shen Yu’s hand and then returned inconspicuously to his original kneeling position.

When the Empress Dowager ran, everyone in the hall followed suite.

Aside from the Shen Family parents and Shen Yu, no one noticed his actions just now.

Mu Fei continued to kneel upright.
