Chapter 740 Ends in Smoke

ds cut off We might as well sit on little stools and watch the show." Xiao Yu Ge cheerfully cracked melon seeds, one hand holding them up while the other nervously tapped her leg. With these two heart...Many times, Xiao Yu Ge had fantasized about meeting her biological parents. But when this moment finally arrived, she hesitated. Her heart was full of conflict and resistance to this identity. She even wished she were still the orphaned child without parents.

Qianting embraced her gently, feeling her body trembling slightly. He instinctively tightened his grip on her hand, silently telling her: he was by her side, no matter what happened!

"She didn't bring it, she just doesn't have it!" Just then, Xiao Yufu suddenly barged in. She was holding the jade pendant that Xiao YuGe had taken before, and even more surprisingly, Lan Yi was following behind her!

"Fu'er, what are you doing" Xiao Zhan and his wife also rushed to her face, questioning her what she wanted.

“Father, Mother, I’m here today to reveal the truth from all those years ago!” Xiao Yu Fu didn’t know where she got the courage. Holding the jade pendant, she walked in front of Feng Wu Ji and spread it out: “This is what I’ve worn since I was little. It’s not Xiao Yu Ge’s at all! Everyone in the Xiangfu can attest to that!”

"What did you say This jade pendant is yours" Feng Wujie didn't expect things to turn out like this. Looking at the girl who was about his age, he was momentarily confused.

"Fu'er, what are you doing" Xiao Zhan's face was ashen. He didn't know what his daughter was up to this time. After all, impersonating someone carries the punishment of extermination for nine generations, doesn't she value her life

Xiao Yufu said, "Father, actually, we have all been deceived by Xiao Yuge!"

"What are you saying What did she lie about" Xiao Zhan tightened his brows.

“Father, please don’t be angry. Hear me out. In fact, Aunt Lan didn’t swap us at all. All of this is Xiao Yuge’s plot. She discovered that this jade pendant is the token of the Tianzhu Regent King’s daughter long ago, so she fabricated this whole story about a switch. Aunt Lan is right here, Father. You can ask her yourself!”

Xiao Zhan's face was grim, his voice low and stern as he asked, "Aunt Lan, tell me, what exactly is going on"

Aunt Lan immediately fainted to the ground, kneeling there begging for mercy while crying: "Master, I have no choice. It was truly Miss Second's friend who captured me and subjected me to inhuman torture, forcing me to fabricate this story of switching babies. In fact, at Sanpo Temple that year, I was terrified out of my wits. Where would I have the time to switch the children Everything was forced out of me by people sent by Miss Second!"

Xiao Yuge coldly watched this scene, she couldn't understand how Xiao Yufu would be so obsessed with the title of Saintess that she forced Lan Yi to lie, even denying her own parents. She really underestimated her.

"Ge'er, she said it was all true It was really you who had her caught and forced her to say those things" Xiao Zhan refused to believe it. Such a melodramatic thing actually happening in his prestigious Xiao family estate was simply inconceivable.

"It was me who had her captured..." Xiao Yuge pursed her lips. It seemed that no matter how much she explained now, no one would believe her. After all, it was indeed her who had hired Lan Yi and had also forced Lan Yi to reveal the truth of the past under Night Brother's pressure. However, she hadn't expected that she would be used by Xiao Yufu in the end.

"How could you do this" Xiao Zhan was so angry that he raised his hand as if to strike Xiao Yuge.

"Chancellor, you dare!" Qian Tingxuan grabbed Xiao Zhan's wrist first, his cold eyes as if they would freeze Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan angrily put down his hand: “Your Highness, this rebellious daughter’s actions are so outrageous, how can she deserve your Highness’s protection” The pity he once had for Xiao Yuge vanished in an instant. He never expected his own daughter to be someone who excels in scheming.

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister, Xiaoge is my king's queen. No matter what she does, in my eyes, she is always right!" Qian Tingxuan held Xiao Yuge in his arms. He had long known everything about her. Regardless of how others instigated, he would not waver. The only thing he regretted was that he hadn't found out her true identity sooner and made appropriate countermeasures, leading to what happened today. Seeing her being misunderstood, he felt heartbroken and guilty.

“Lan Aunt did find her, and it was I who made her reveal the truth. Since she’s now going back on her words, there’s nothing I can do about it. The facts are the facts, and I won’t explain further!” Xiao Yuge didn’t expect Xiao Yufu to actually use this to make a big deal out of things; she really underestimated her.

“It was you who took advantage of the status of the holy maiden, so you forced Aunt Lan to fabricate all of this! You even secretly took away the jade pendant and deliberately told me that it was lost. You are truly despicable!” Xiao Yufu pointed at her and accused her loudly.

Xiao Yu Ge glanced at her, the corner of her lips curving upwards slightly: "The truth is clear to both of us. What's false can't be true, and what's true can't be false!" Since she wanted to play the role of a saint so much, let her do it.

Feng Wuji placed the two jade pendants together, and miraculously, something amazing happened. The two jade pendants suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then they seamlessly fit together. It seemed like the pendants were perfect matches.

“You, are you really this king’s daughter” Feng Wuji looked at Xiao Yufu, whose face was stained with tears like pear blossoms in the rain, then glanced at Xiao Yuge held in Qian Tingxuan’s arms. He couldn't help but frown secretly: The jade pendant was correct, but Bing'er had always been resilient since she was a child and never acted so delicate. How could this girl who claimed to be the owner of the jade pendant look so pitiful On the contrary, Xiao Yuge remained calm from beginning to end. Her eyes and demeanor were exactly like Bing’er used to be. It seemed that something must have gone wrong somewhere.

"Father!" Xiao Yufu cried with tears streaming down her face, looking pitifully heartbroken. The sight of her made everyone around her feel moved.

"Now things are clear. My little Song'er is not the Duke Regent's daughter, which means I can marry her. Since my mother and elder brother are here, let's have them witness this." Qian Tingxuan took a red bridal veil and placed it on Xiao Yuge's head himself.

"Old Fifteenth, this auspicious time has passed. Today is not a good day. This marriage matter, let's talk about it another day." The Emperor naturally wouldn't agree. Xiao Yuge wasn't the holy maiden of Tianzhu anymore; she was even better off that way. Now, she could only be Lan Zhao's daughter of good fortune.

"I, Qian Tingxuan, am marrying Xiaoge'er. There are no taboos, as long as we both agree, any time is a good time!" Qian Tingxuan knew that if he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't know when the next one would come.

"You cannot get married until things are clear!" Feng Wuji also joined the ranks of those who opposed it.

Xiao Yu Ge, hearing their words, couldn't help but feel a fire rise in her heart. She once again pulled down the red veil covering her head and shouted at the Emperor: "Why should you all have a say in my marriage Just because I am that so-called daughter of good fortune Do you really think that by getting me, you can truly gain control of the world Qian Ting Xuan only has less than two years to live. Do you think that by marrying me he can remove the poison from his body and then seize the throne"doesn't mean I'm guilty. So, I'll walk on my own!" She knew that Fan Li had lost his only son and was probably out of his mind right now, biting anyone he could. But she wasn't someone he could bite.F...
