Liang Yue turned her head to look at the other people in the hall. They all had the same expression: anger at being deceived by her, and hatred towards her.

On the contrary, Song Zhiyu, whose identity she had impersonated, leaned calmly against the stone pillar, idly playing with the jade pendant in her hand.

Shen Jinshu, whom she regarded as her lifeline, coldly turned his eyes away and ignored her pleas for mercy.

Shen Jinshu wasn't worried that Liang Yue would betray her; after all, she was just a "victim" who had been deceived.

How credible can the words of a liar be?

Seeing this, Liangyue couldn't help but burst into laughter, with a sense of "what's the use of lying down?" "Why did I lie to you? Of course, someone instructed me to do it."

"Young Miss, why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you bribe me to impersonate the Divine Physician Liangyue to treat the Young Master's leg?"

Without hesitation, she betrayed Shen Jinshu. Since he was unwilling to save her, then they could both go to hell together.

Shen Jinshu didn't panic. She immediately scolded him and quickly distanced herself from the situation, saying, "Nonsense! When did I ever ask you to do such things?"

"You claimed to be the Divine Physician Liangyue and produced your so-called token, which is why I believed you and asked you to treat my elder brother. Who would have thought you would impersonate my second sister? Now that your scheme has been exposed, you're turning around and accusing me!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Shen Feng and the others, her eyes filled with tears, "Father, elder brother, I'm sorry, I was just confused because I was worried, and that's why I was deceived by her."

Shen Jinshu felt a surge of hatred; how could Song Zhiyu have gotten all the benefits?

"I know you're worried about Yuzhou too, and I won't blame you. Yuzhou feels the same way." Before Shen Yuzhou could speak, Shen Feng took it upon himself to forgive him.

But he had some doubts in his heart, but now was not the time to talk about them.

Shen Yuzhou nodded, not taking it to heart. As the elder brother, he naturally had to be more tolerant of his younger sister.

Besides, he didn't believe Shu'er would do such a thing, after all, his legs were crippled because he saved her.

If we were to name the people who most wanted him to get better, besides his parents, it would be Shu'er.

For so many years, she has lived with guilt. Even though he has never blamed her, Shu'er just can't get over it. She has gone to great lengths to find a cure for him, and Shen Yuzhou has seen it all.

He might doubt anyone, but he would never doubt Shu'er.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuzhou's cold expression softened considerably. "Big brother believes in you."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Yue laughed even louder, "You actually believe someone who harmed you, how ridiculous!"

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Yuzhou felt that Liang Yue had lost her mind, and his words were filled with displeasure.

Although Shen Jinshu didn't understand the meaning of Liang Yue's words, he had a feeling that nothing good would happen, so he decided to go all the way and said, "Brother, this woman is full of lies and dares to deceive us. We should immediately hand her over to the authorities."

She winked at Xiuyue, signaling her to quickly cover Liangyue's mouth to prevent her from saying anything she shouldn't.

"Waaaaah~" Liang Yue struggled desperately, but her hands were tightly bound, and she could not break free at all. She could only glare hatefully at Shen Jinshu.

“Shu’er is right. This woman’s words cannot be trusted. We should hand her over to the authorities as soon as possible,” Shen Rushan chimed in at the opportune moment, waving his hand as if to signal his servants to take Liang Yue away.

Shen Yuzhou frowned, sensing that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Just as Liang Yue was about to be covered up and dragged away, Song Zhiyu finally stood up straight.

"ah."

A small stone struck Xiuyue's knee hard, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry, subconsciously releasing her hand that was covering Liangyue.

"Young Master, that kidnapping back then wasn't an accident." Liang Yue seized the opportunity to blurt out what she hadn't said before.

By then, it was too late for Xiuyue to cover her mouth.

"Explain yourself." A fierce aura lingered between Shen Yuzhou's brows; the events of that year were a painful wound in his heart that he could not bear to touch.

What was initially thought to be an accident seems to be more complex than it appears.

Shen Jinshu was shocked and suddenly looked up at Song Zhiyu.

Song Zhiyu returned a faint smile, a hint of mockery faintly visible in his deep pupils.

Do you like this gift?

Shen Jinshu clenched her fists, her neatly trimmed nails digging deep into her palms. The pain brought her back to her senses slightly.

She tried her best to remain calm, tugged at Chen Yuzhou's sleeve, and said seriously, "Brother, this woman will say anything to save her life. You can't let her lead you by the nose."

Shen Yuzhou had no time to pay attention to her; he simply stared intently at Liang Yue with his bloodshot eyes.

"The kidnapping that crippled your legs back then was actually meticulously planned by your dear sister. She used herself as bait to trick you into going to Mingyin Mountain to rescue her, and in the end, she caused you to fall off a cliff and become a cripple, while she remained unharmed." Ignoring Shen Jinshu's threatening gaze, Liang Yue revealed the whole truth.

Shen Jinshu was unaware that Xia Zhu was not the only person who overheard her conversation with Aunt Ye that day.

Song Zhiyu raised her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting Liang Yue to give her such a big surprise.

This is getting more and more interesting.

Song Zhiyu, always eager for a good show, feigned shock but deliberately raised her voice so that the maids and servants outside could hear, "Elder sister, how could you do this? The young master has been so good to you. He even disowned his own sister for you. I never imagined that you would be the one who hurt him the most."

These words were sarcastic and critical of both people. Finally, she added a cool remark, further complicating the situation: "You can know a person's face but not their heart."

"Big brother, it's not like she said..." Shen Jinshu was so angry that her teeth itched, but she had no time to argue with Song Zhiyu at this moment.

Liang Yue continued to stab them in the heart, "Young Master, it's very simple if you want evidence. Although most of the people who kidnapped you back then were silenced, one person managed to escape and is now in the beggar's den in the dilapidated temple in the north of the city."

Ever since learning the truth about Shen Yuzhou's broken leg, she had been intentionally investigating the kidnapping case from back then, hoping to leave herself a way out. Unexpectedly, she actually uncovered some clues.

These are things that Shen Jinshu himself probably doesn't know, otherwise the remaining survivor would have been dealt with long ago.

Seeing that Liang Yue spoke with such conviction, Shen Jinshu's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked at Ye Rou, his eyes filled with a silent question.

Why weren't the people dealt with properly, leaving such a huge problem behind?

Ye Rou's dry, pale lips trembled slightly. She had clearly instructed her personal maid to eliminate all those involved in the incident, so how could there still be survivors?

"Is everything she said true?" Shen Yuzhou looked down at the hand gripping his sleeve, his expression returning to calm, his voice becoming frighteningly low.
