Chapter 377 You have no weight with me, understand?
Unfortunately, Li Xingwen is not Du Ziheng, and he will not give her a chance.
Li Xingwen bowed respectfully to Yu Zhiyi and said, "Miss, I saw this Miss You acting suspiciously nearby. When Miss Chen committed the murder, I was distracted by Miss You, which is why I was unable to stop her in time."
"After killing the person, Miss Chen had her maid lure you over. She planned to pretend to be the victim of the assassination and go to the vicinity to find an 'eyewitness' to trick the witness into coming back and framing you."
"And Miss You saw all of this. Later, she pretended to be a lost guest and bumped into Miss Chen by chance, and then returned to this courtyard, trying to pin the murder on you."
Du Ziheng looked at You Bingyue in disbelief: "Bingyue, you..."
Li Changhuai also felt that his idealized image of himself had shattered.
Jiang Liuyi sneered: "What a clever trick of the thief crying 'stop thief!' What a clever trick of going with the flow!"
His eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at the two women.
You Bingyue vehemently denied it: "I didn't! You're lying!"
She wore an expression of grief and indignation, as if she had been framed: "Yu Zhiyi, I never thought you were this kind of person! To frame me, you would even go so far as to have someone give false testimony..."
Snap!
Something was stuck to her forehead.
You Bingyue paused, wanting to tear the thing off.
However, the next second, the thing disappeared.
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "Don't be nervous, it's just a truth-telling talisman, it won't harm your body. When the time is up, the talisman will disappear."
You Bingyue: "?"
What kind of talisman is this?
Before she could process Yu Zhiyi's words, she heard Yu Zhiyi ask, "Why did you come here?"
You Bingyue did not want to answer.
But a mysterious force compelled her to open her mouth and reveal the truth.
"I heard that you and Chen Xinyue don't get along. Chen Xinyue was put under house arrest because of you, so I wanted to see if I could get her to take action against you."
Du Ziheng, who had initially wavered because of her accusations, widened his eyes upon hearing this: "What did you say?"
Li Changhuai looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Is this the open-minded and generous You Bingyue he knew?
It's fake!
Not to mention them, even Chen Xinyue looked like she'd been struck by lightning.
She thought she was a schemer, and that You Bingyue was her pawn.
Unexpectedly, You Bingyue was the schemer, and she was the pawn.
Yu Zhiyi then asked, "What was your original plan?"
You Bingyue clenched her teeth tightly.
Unfortunately, she couldn't resist the power of the Truth Talisman. She could only helplessly feel her mouth opening and closing: "I originally wanted to tell her Du Ziheng's true identity and that you were Du Ziheng's ex-wife, still in love with him, and help her get into Du Ziheng's bed."
Du Ziheng was shocked.
Li Changhuai asked with difficulty, "Wait a minute, what did you say he should climb up?"
Wasn't she deeply in love with Du Ziheng?
Wasn't it for him that she could tolerate underestimating her opponent and go to great lengths to help him win back the heart of her beloved?
After struggling twice to no avail, You Bingyue simply gave up.
Since the fig leaf has already been completely torn off, any struggle will be futile. So, it's better to just lie down and give up.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, especially Du Ziheng's incredulous look, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction and smiled coldly: "Is it so hard to understand that you climbed into Du Ziheng's bed?"
She looked at Du Ziheng expressionlessly: "You don't actually think you're so charming that women can tolerate your fickleness, do you?"
"Stop fooling around!"
The only reason I haven't left you yet is because the cost of silence is too high, and I can't bear to waste the time I've spent.
"Later, I made peace with myself and decided to give you up completely. But I absolutely will not allow you to continue getting involved with this woman after leaving me!"
"She ruined my relationship and embarrassed me time and time again. Why should I forgive her? Why should I hand you over to her?"
"The reason I said I would help you win her back was just to follow you to the Martial Alliance. It's impossible for me to help you win her back, but I can end your relationship and completely sever your ill-fated bond."
"Chen Xinyue is the pawn I found."
"This mother and daughter are only interested in marrying into a higher social class, and Chen Xinyue doesn't have anyone she likes. She's willing to accept anyone who is in a high position of power."
"Du Ziheng, as the son of the prime minister, is good-looking, has a good physique, and is talented in literature. He has already entered the court as an official at a young age. With a prime minister as his father paving the way, his future is limitless."
“I believe that unless she’s an idiot, she would agree to sleep with him.”
Chen Xinyue's face turned bright red.
She was both ashamed and angry.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Yu Bingyue completely tore off her pretense and sneered, "What? Am I wrong? You're not trying to climb the social ladder?"
"You even have your eye on the two sons of Prefect Song, are you really willing to give up the son of the Prime Minister?"
Chen Xinyue: "..."
Before she could answer, You Bingyue turned to Yu Zhiyi and said, "I was unlucky to lose to you this time, being tricked by a mere guard. But if there's a next time, I will never make the same mistake again!"
Yu Zhiyi had always known that this person's thought process was different from ordinary people, but now she didn't know what to say.
After all, the things that needed to be said have already become clichés.
She got tired of saying it so much.
Too lazy to argue, he coldly said, "Interfering with the investigation and framing an official of the imperial court are enough charges to keep you in jail for ten or eight years. As for the rest, we'll talk about them when you get out."
You Bingyue: "?!"
At this point, the effect of the truth sign has also passed.
Her anger dissipated instantly, and she looked at Du Ziheng with a face full of regret: "Youlin, those weren't my true feelings, I don't know why I said those things..."
Du Ziheng's expression was cryptic, and for the first time, he did not respond immediately.
Yu Bingyue panicked and quickly walked up to Qi Na: "Youlin, believe me! I... I just like you so much, those weren't my true feelings!"
Du Ziheng finally softened: "You... sigh!"
"Yi'er, Bingyue didn't mean it, she just made a mistake for a moment. Could you please..."
"No." Yu Zhiyi remained completely calm, and even felt a little amused.
"Even now, Lord Du still hasn't figured out his own position."
Her beautiful face was cold: "To me, you are just a stranger who has wandered into my life for a few months. I have no feelings for you. To me, you are not even as important as your father, Prime Minister Du, or your mother, Madam Du."
"Understand?"
Du Ziheng was both ashamed and angry.
For the first time in his life, he experienced what it meant to feel excruciating pain.
What does it mean to bring shame upon oneself?
"Tang Mingxuan, keep a close eye on the man. If anyone tries to stop you from apprehending the criminal..."
She said each word slowly and deliberately: "Kill without mercy."
