Chapter 444 The Substitute Bride 13.28



"You were unwilling to accept that I took Jingzhi away from you, so you reincarnated as my daughter to get closer to him and take revenge on me!" Fu Li said, then smiled foolishly. "I won't fall for your tricks. I will always remember what you look like. Even if you become my daughter, I won't let you get away with it!"

Lu Qingyan watched her rant coldly.

Is it because of this old story that she has neglected her daughter like this?

Furthermore, she killed someone for the sake of Imperial Censor Fu?

Does your father know about the murder?

“How could he know that the woman was foolishly using my name and wearing a veil? Who could recognize her? Jingzhi wouldn’t recognize her; he just assumed I was the only one from the beginning. Everyone says she’s long dead, that she accidentally fell off a cliff and died. That’s how she died! I’m not the murderer.” Fu Li smiled. “She’s my own sister! We were born to the same mother. She’s always been more favored than me since we were little. Father and Mother always saved the best things for her, and I was always expected to give in to her. I’ve tolerated all of that, but why should I give in to Jingzhi? We knew each other first, yet he still prefers that woman? In terms of looks, how can she compare to me? I’m the older sister, and I’ve given in to her for so many years. This time, she should give in to me!”

People aren't objects, so how can there be talk of humility? Fu Li has long since gone mad.

From her jealousy of her younger sister to her madness towards Fu Jingzhi, she had changed long ago. It's unclear why she managed to endure it for so many years, only to reveal her true colors at this moment.

"You killed your own sister because of your father, because of jealousy?" Lu Qingyan felt her throat tighten.

Fu Li shook her head and retorted, "I never intended to kill her. As long as her face was ruined and her body was crippled, she wouldn't be able to marry Jingzhi anymore, and Jingzhi would be mine. She wanted to climb the mountain and go to the temple to pray for blessings. At that time, the horse suddenly went mad, and she herself tried to push me out and leave me alone in the carriage! She was thrown out of the carriage, grabbed that short, crooked tree, and hung on the cliff."

"You had the chance to save her, but you didn't?" Lu Qingyan asked.

Lu Qingyan didn't know what kind of person that woman was, whether she was good or bad, or whether she should save her life. But at that time, Fu Lishi clearly still had the opportunity to save that woman, so why didn't she? And why did that woman still die?

“I grabbed her hand and tried to pull her up, but she was so heavy, how could I, a woman, move her? The servants were nowhere to be seen, who could I ask for help? My hands were all blistered, and I thought I shouldn't pull her up anymore, I should just let her fall like that. Without her, Jingzhi is mine, no one can take him from me! Anyway, Jingzhi doesn't even know she exists, Jingzhi only knows me, what's wrong with me marrying Jingzhi without her?”

“If she were still alive, you would have made the right decision to marry Father. But now that she’s dead, don’t you think you were wrong?” Lu Qingyan looked at the deranged Fu Li Shi and thought of that person.

He has been with her through so much of her life. If he falls in love with someone else, will she become like Fu Li? Lu Qingyan thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer.

Fu Li struggled to move closer, grabbing Lu Qingyan's hem: "Tell me, who is the concubine he wants to take? Is she the same as you? Is she the same as that woman? Does he know everything about her?"
