"Jingrui protects her so much. If you want me to kill her, do you want me to turn against Jingrui, my brother?"
Feng Yexuan looked at the woman standing before him. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the distance between them had grown immensely.
"You just wanted to blind her eyes? Li'er, I never knew you had such a cruel side."
Cruel!
He actually used the word "cruel" to describe her!
Chu Qianli stared blankly.
She stared intently at his face, disbelief etched on her features: "Yexuan, I was bullied, and you... you're blaming me?"
Feng Yexuan remained silent.
Qingmei and Hongchou were outside. Although anxious, they dared not enter.
The Four Guardians firmly guarded the door.
Chu Qianli slowly calmed herself down.
She realized she had indeed lost control just now.
Had the previous Chu Qianli ever been so cruel to anyone in front of Feng Yexuan? Had she not killed enough enemies?
She was indignant!
Why was Feng Yexuan so forgiving of the former Chu Qianli, yet so strict with her now?
But she was jealous of herself now, and there was no way she could voice these thoughts.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Qianli finally calmed down completely.
She looked at Feng Yexuan and said softly, "My people found out that Fu Ning should have escaped into her room. Yexuan, she is hiding Fu Ning."
"So what?" He already knew!
"Yexuan, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Qianli's eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief: "You..."
"If I'm willing to let Fu Ning stay in the prince's mansion, I can control her actions. If she still harbors malicious intent towards you, I will never allow it!"
"Yexuan..." Chu Qianli felt a chill run through her.
He knew, he truly knew!
But he had no intention of handing Fu Ning over!
So, Fu Ning was still alive?
Her heart tightened, and a coldness spread through her entire body.
"She attempted to assassinate me..."
"When she wakes up, I will personally question her!" At least, she deserved a chance to speak!
"Yexuan, you don't believe me?" Did her words need to be overturned?
What did questioning Fu Ning mean? Did he truly disregard what she said so much?
"I believe you, but you have changed!"
Feng Yexuan's gaze was fixed directly on her eyes this time.
She had truly changed!
Not only had her actions changed, but even her eyes were different from before, no longer as clear and bright as they used to be!
Chu Qianli felt a surge of panic. Despite her efforts to maintain a calm expression, she couldn't.
Even the muscles in her face were trembling slightly.
She was truly flustered!
Playing tricks in front of Prince Xuan was courting death!
If Feng Yexuan hadn't been so deeply devoted to Chu Qianli, how could she have succeeded?
But now, was he starting to suspect?
Chu Qianli immediately lowered her head, clenching her hands within her sleeves.
Her voice gradually became hoarse: "Yexuan, you resent me, but have you ever considered that not only have I changed, but you have changed too?"
Feng Yexuan's cold eyes suddenly deepened.
For a moment, he found himself unable to refute her words.
It seemed he couldn't refute them.
"Yexuan, you've really changed, haven't you noticed?"
Chu Qianli still didn't look up at him. She knew too well that with Xiao Yao's eyes, frequent eye contact with Feng Yexuan would only annoy him.
She could only bite her lip and say in a choked voice, "I admit I lost control just now, but I was truly just jealous! You never allowed any woman other than me to live in your Wuzhou Garden, yet now you've broken your rule for a woman!"
"Yexuan, dare you say that the girl named Xiao Yao holds no place in your heart?"
