Chapter 232: You dare to use her to lie to me?

…

Rainwater slid down the spires of the Gothic castle, creating twisted watermarks on the stained glass.

Nanchuan Shijue stood in front of the study window, holding a cigar that was about to burn out between his fingers. His eyes, which were always cold as ice, were now filled with turbulent waves.

"Say it again." He ordered into the phone.

"Ten minutes ago...Miss Ning...her fingers moved." The servant on the other end of the phone stammered.

"Has an expert examined it?"

"Not yet. Didn't the young master say... if Miss Ning makes any move... he would report it to you immediately..."

"Who discovered it?" Nanchuan Shijue was checking the surveillance video.

A year has passed since Ning Fengsheng became a vegetable. For the first time, he allowed the flame of hope to burn in his chest!

"The nurse saw Miss Ning's right ring finger move three times! The doctor said it was a sign of awakening..."

Moss pushed the door open and walked in: "Master, the luggage is packed."

"Contact the expert team and send them over immediately," he said, his voice hoarse, and he almost tripped over the carpet as he hurried to the desk. "Prepare the plane."

A trace of guilt flashed across Moss's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "Master, do you need to contact a special plane? All routes are cleared for you." He hesitated, "That Miss Si..."

Nanchuan Shijue paused.

"Should we send someone to take her back?" Moss asked cautiously, "Miss Ning is awake now, she's useless."

“…”

"If Miss Ning wakes up and sees that you've found a fake who looks like her, she'll definitely be angry—"

Nanchuan Shijue's body swayed, and he had to hold on to the back of the carved chair to steady himself, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Ning Fengsheng woke up. How should he deal with the person in front of him... a woman who came from another time and space?

There will only be one Ning Fengsheng in this world!

…

In the cloakroom, the stylist was helping Ning Fengsheng take off her wig.

The girl in the mirror had a face very similar to Miss Ning's, with the same stubborn eyes, like a little beast that refused to be tamed.

"Miss Si, this is the clothes you wore when you came," the servant handed her a set of uniforms, "You can change back into your own clothes."

Ning Fengsheng was extremely surprised, not only was his hair being taken off, but his clothes were also being changed.

What? She doesn’t need to imitate “Ning Fengsheng” anymore?

"The young master ordered you to go home." The maid lowered her head and didn't dare look at her. "The car is waiting downstairs."

"Really?" Ning Fengsheng was shocked.

"Yes, I'll send you off once you've changed your clothes."

Ning Fengsheng immediately changed into her own clothes and carefully hung the expensive dress back in the closet.

As she walked out of the room, she took one last look at the golden cage - outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the rose garden in the rainstorm was breathtakingly beautiful, just like the man who imprisoned her, beautiful and dangerous.

It’s really strange. Nanchuan Shijue was busy all morning and prepared such a luxurious lunch for her. Was it a farewell meal?

That man always said what he said and his thoughts were confused, so it was not surprising that he suddenly let her go.

Maybe he has figured it out and doesn't want a substitute anymore...

Ning Fengsheng felt somewhat relieved. No matter what, he finally let her go. That was great.

As soon as I stepped down the spiral staircase, the sound of porcelain breaking was heard!

Nanchuan Shijue was furious and threw the tablet computer against the wall.

"The surveillance shows Shengsheng hasn't woken up at all! I asked the experts... She shows no signs of waking up." He pinched Moss's neck, veins popping out on his forehead. "How dare you use her to lie to me?"

"Master, you've been in Country Z for a week! Ever since Miss Si arrived, you've been bewildered. Miss Ning and the young master are still waiting for you to return home..."

Nanchuan Shijue threw him onto the sofa and grabbed Moss by the collar.

"Do you know that I fall asleep watching Shengsheng's surveillance every day? Do you know how much I spent on hiring the best doctors in the world? You know how much I care about you, and you dare to lie to me about this?!"

Moss burst into tears: "Master, Miss Ning is just asleep, she is not dead... She may wake up at any time. It's only been a year, and you are looking for women outside..."

Bang! Nanchuan Shijue threw the ashtray hard.

"What do you know?" His eyes were red. "She is Shengsheng!"

"Young Master has gone astray... I thought you would wake up once you returned to Rose Garden and saw Miss Ning."

"If I say she is, then she is." Nanchuan Shijue sneered and said, "Do you know her better than me?"

"Let's assume that what you say is true, that this Miss Si is really Miss Ning from another time and space... Young Master, have you ever thought about what Miss Ning would think if she woke up one day? And how would you deal with Miss Si?"

“…”

"By then, will you be with Miss Ning or Miss Si? They're both Miss Ning. Does that mean the young master wants both?"

Nanchuan Shijue stood there in a daze, as if a thunderclap had sounded in his head.

He never thought about these questions...

"Have you ever thought about this: if Miss Si is really Miss Ning, why doesn't she recognize you? You already have Miss Ning, how can you be so greedy to want two..."

Every question was like a whip that struck Nanchuan Shijue's heart and whipped his soul.

"I did lie to you, Master. I was just worried... what if Miss Ning woke up one day... you'd already made a big mistake. It's not too late now, Master, don't be confused!"

Nanchuan Shijue's face turned extremely pale, and his fingers were tightly clenched on the chair.

"Even if you have a reason, I will never allow you to lie to me about Shengsheng."

He pressed the inner line, every nerve stiff and tense, his throat burning with pain: "According to the family rules, thirty lashes."

"Master!" the housekeeper exclaimed, "Uncle Moss is already over fifty!"

Nanchuan Shijue loosened his tie and gave a chilling smile: "And the servants in Meiyuan who colluded with me to deceive me, not a single one of them will be spared. Anyone who pleads for mercy will be beaten together."

"Master, I accept the punishment..." Moss had guessed that there would be a severe punishment. As long as he could wake the young master up, he was willing to do it.

Nanchuan Shijue's eyes were burning with anger, "If you can bear it, then bear it. If you can't, I will give you a grand funeral because of your many years of service."

…

Ning Fengsheng walked to the castle gate when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

She was afraid that Lord Nanchuan would regret it again, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Miss Si, wait a minute, the young master is very angry, you are the only one who can persuade him." A little maid came chasing after her crying.

Ning Fengsheng was speechless.

Can't a man change his temper? Why does he lose his temper at the slightest provocation?

But she had made up her mind that no matter what the reason, she would not be allowed to stay.

"That's your family affair, I can't interfere. Take me home." She walked down the stairs without looking back, opened the car door and was about to bend down to get in.
