"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" In the secret chamber, a blood-curdling screech resounded through the entire secret chamber. The woman's blood-curdling screams were even more miserable than the previous ones.

The sound of footsteps slowly entered the girl's ears. The girl raised her head and looked towards the direction of the footsteps. A man and a woman appeared in front of her.

When they saw the miserable state the woman was in, there was a hint of happiness on their faces. There was not even a hint of sympathy.

Shen Yuanxi looked at the man and woman before her as her eyes lit up. "Master, are you here to save me?" I knew you'd come! "

"Shen Yuxi, you're so naïve. Do you think I'm here to save you?" The man's impassive words had sent Shen Yuxi from heaven to hell in an instant.

Shock appeared on Shen Yuxi's face as she looked at the man in front of her with disbelief. Was this man really the man from her memories?

Seeing the man look at her with disdain, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed. "Husband, I won't, I won't, you said you will treat me well for the rest of my life …"

The man looked at her disdainfully and sneered, "You think I'll treat you well for the rest of my life?" Heh! I lied to you! "Shen Yuxi, you're such a pitiful girl. I can't believe I played you for a fool!"

"What... Are you lying to me? " Shen Yuxi's eyes widened, as if she couldn't accept this fact.

How could this be? Didn't he say that he loved her the most?

"Of course!" The man nodded proudly and said without any hesitation, "If it wasn't for your identity as the direct daughter of the Crown Prince's Palace, why would I have to lie to you? It's a pity that your shrewdness is limited. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fool you! "

The direct daughter of the Crown Prince's Palace, the direct daughter of the Crown Prince's Palace...

So it was because of her identity!

When the man saw that Shen Yuxi had lost her wits, he added, "Shen Yuxi, you still don't know why your father was shot dead because he violated the imperial edict during the Autumn Hunt, right?"

"What?" Shen Yuxi seemed to have noticed something. Her unfocused gaze fell on the man as she fixed him with her eyes.

The man ignored her gaze, smiling politely. His words made Shen Yuanxi feel as if she had fallen into a cave of ice!

"That's because I gave your father's horse some crazy medicine. As long as your father rides it, in less than half an incense stick of time, that horse will go crazy and charge around without any care for its life. This way, naturally, your father would be startled by the holy carriage and be shot to death on the spot!"

Shen Yuxi's pupils dilated. Her body trembled in anger as she glared at the man before her.

So it turns out that Abba's death was not an accident, but a premeditated act of murder!

What was most unbelievable was that the person who had killed her father was actually the person who had spent all these years with her day and night, saying that he would love her for life and would be good to her for the rest of his life!

Shen Yuxi's eyes were wide open as she stared at the young man in front of her, and the pain in her chest was so intense that it felt as if it was being ripped apart.

She could not control her heartache. She never thought that she would treat her enemy as a family member. She even thought that she would be happy wherever she found him …

"Gongsun Yu, is what you did worthy of my Abba? Because of our relationship, he did not hesitate to push you up, and that's why a writer like you managed to get a rank of a mere third scout. His career in the field is even better than the top scholar, and in the end you actually schemed to kill my Abba.

Gongsun Yu glared at her as she spoke, and said in a venomous tone, "He treats me well? If that old man had not said that my essay was too arbitrary in front of His Majesty, with my talent, how could I have only discovered the truth? "

Shen Yuanxi's eyes were wide open. She knew nothing about the news that Gongsun Yu had told her. She didn't understand why things had turned out this way …

All of a sudden, Shen Yuanxi spotted the woman beside her, and she shouted at her as if she was grabbing onto life saving grass, "Second sister, go and sue him! This unscrupulous bastard actually dares to scheme and kill Abba. I will definitely make him pay with his blood! "

When Shen Yuanxi heard those words, she felt her mind go blank. She stared at Shen Yuangrong in disbelief. Could it be …

That was her second sister, her father's daughter. Even though she was born from a concubine, her father had treated her well …

She was stunned for half a minute. Tears rolled down her face.

She stared at the girl in front of her, Shen Yuan Rong, and asked word by word, "Why? Why did you do that? Shen Yuan Rong, do you owe your father anything? He's our biological father! "

"Humph!" "That old man favored you alone and treated us bastards like weeds. Tell me, do I hate him?" Shen Yuangrong stared at Shen Yuxi with hatred on her face.

Shen Yuxi's eyes widened, and a wave of sadness swept across her heart. She had planned to kill her father just because of this?

Did she have to face Abba? How could she do that!

Shen Yuanxi's eyes turned red as she reached out her hand to grab Shen Yuangrong, but Shen Yuangrong ignored her. Her face was scratched by Shen Yuanxi's sharp nails.

Shen Yuangrong screamed, grabbed a soldering iron from the side, and struck it towards Shen Yuxi's hand.

A scorching pain assaulted her senses, but Shen Yuxi ignored it and reached out her hand to grab Shen Yuangrong again, but before she could do so, she was met with a violent slap on her face!

Shen Yuanxi was sent flying by the force of the slap. Her head hit a pillar, and she felt dizzy.

She turned her head and looked at that familiar face. The man who had protected her to such an extent before was currently gently blowing on Shen Yuan Rong's face.

Shen Yuan Xi's tears fell down onto the back of her hand that had been burned by the hot iron. A heart-wrenching pain assaulted her.

"Shen Yuxi, your brother was drowned when he was five years old. It took two days for the family to find his body in the lotus pond. What a pity." Shen Yuan Rong looked at Shen Yuan Xi complacently.

When he thought of how he was cut by this slut, he felt a burst of anger and spoke in a flustered manner.

Shen Yuoxi understood the meaning behind his words. Her little brother, Shen Yunqing, had been killed by Shen Yuangrong!

This wicked woman, not only had she caused the death of her father, but she hadn't even let her brother off!

"Shen Yuangrong, Gongsun Yu, you two will die a horrible death!" Shen Yuxi's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at the man and woman in front of her. She struggled as if she had gone mad, and screamed out loud.

However, the rope binding her was very tight, so no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't struggle.

Suddenly, the cry of an infant caught Shen Yuxi's attention. She turned her head and saw the infant that Cui'er was holding in her arms. It was her child!

"Lan'er …" Shen Yuxi suddenly had a bad premonition. "Cui'er, give me the child …"

"Madam, no, Shen Yuanxi, Cui'er will only listen to the Lord Prefect." Cui'er smiled contemptuously at Shen Yuxi and handed the child to Gongsun Yu.

Gongsun Yu looked at his child with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Shen Yuanxi, this child looks just like you. He's so cute. It's a pity that the country's public can't let him stay!"

"No!" No! Gongsun Yu, I beg you, please let him go! " A sudden panic rose in Shen Yuxi's heart. She couldn't care less about her pride, begging Gongsun Yu to let her child go.

Gongsun Yu snorted coldly, looking at Shen Yuxi with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Yuanxin, if you were me, would you let this child go?"

"Yes!" Yes! I will! I beg of you … " Shen Yuxi nodded her head in panic.

She anxiously looked at the child in Gongsun Yu's hand, constantly struggling with the rope. Even though her body was bound by the rope to the point of bleeding, she didn't frown at all.

Looking at the struggling Shen Yuan Xi, Gongsun Yu frowned and kicked her violently back against the pillar.

The force of the collision between the pillar and her back caused Shen Yuxi to groan in pain. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and a burning pain in her stomach made her cough hard.

At this moment, Gongsun Yu's voice once again sounded out like a ghost, "Unfortunately, I won't let him off!"

Gongsun Yu lifted the child high in the air, and before Shen Yuxi could say anything else, he flung the child to the ground!

With a loud bang, the child did not even have the chance to let out a miserable shriek before he completely lost all signs of life …

"NO!" Gongsun Yu, are you still human? He's also your child! " Shen Yuxi's eyes were wide open as she stared at the blood that was seeping out of the package. She felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Gongsun Yu sneered. "My child? Hmph, how could this bastard be my, Gongsun Yu's, child! Someone, announce to the public that the Duke's Palace has been robbed, that Madam and Young Noble have been killed, that the Duke of the Nation is in great pain, and that he and his wife, his concubine, are taking care of the family's affairs … "

At this moment, she understood. She understood everything. Everything that had happened was a lie!

Shen Yuangrong's charming smile and Gongsun Yu's tender care for her entered his ears. His vision gradually turned blurry.

Shen Yuanxi didn't utter a sound as she sensed the pain in her body. She stared at the two as they walked further and further away before shouting, "Gongsun Yu, Shen Yuangrong, I, Shen Yuanxi, will never let you off even if I were to become a ghost!"

As her consciousness gradually dissipated, Shen Yuanxi closed her eyes. Am I going to die?

Ah Pa, Ah Niang, Yuanxi has let you down …
