Lu Jinshu took a few steps forward and slapped Xie Changning in the face. "Changning, you are so audacious! Because of some personal grudge, you actually killed Xiwu. According to the palace rules, you should be caned thirty times and then demoted to a minor servant. You should be well aware of the punishment for harming Xiwu, but you did it anyway. Who taught you this rule? I don't believe that the Princess Royal would condone you doing this!"
Ling Shumo looked at Xie Changning with a gloomy look. Xie Changning had just said to the attendant beside him, "If the Princess and the Prince knew about this, not only would they not blame me, they would even cover it up for me." She stood behind a tree not far away and heard everything clearly.
Fu Yijing usually behaves as the most tolerant and kind person, but in private, he indulges Xie Changning and drowns Xi Wu alive in the water. So, how much of the gentleness and virtuousness that Fu Yijing usually displays in front of her is real and how much is fake?
Lu Jinshu saw Ling Shumo's expression from the corner of his eye and knew that Ling Shumo had begun to doubt Fu Yijing. But this was not enough. He had to make Ling Shumo completely disgusted with Fu Yijing's hypocrisy.

Ling Shumo looked at Xiwu's pale face soaked by water, and saw that Xiwu's eyes were filled with endless despair. Looking at those eyes, she seemed to be able to imagine how heart-wrenchingly painful Xiwu must have felt when she was on the verge of suffocating in the water.
How much Xiwu wished that someone could come and save him, but unfortunately, Xie Changning was too cruel, and she and Lu Jinshu were a step too late.
Lu Jinshu took off his cloak and covered Xiwu's face with it.
Yugiri thought that he would bring the Princess Royal to rescue the beauty, but he deliberately delayed the Princess Royal's steps. He calculated that Yugiri must have drowned, and then he brought the Princess Royal to come late.
Didn’t Yugiri die with his eyes open?
The reason why Yugiri ended up dying was that he was too confident and too stupid.
His cooperation with Lu Jinshu was like trying to get the skin of a tiger. He didn't have a smart brain, so he was cheated to death by Lu Jinshu.
