"I……"
Ji Yanli, who is always eloquent, was speechless at this moment.
"You don't love anyone. Fu Yu and I are both your pawns. For power, you can do anything..."
Fu Yao didn't want to say anything and silently pushed the coffin lid closed.
Seeing that the coffin was about to close, Ji Yanli's last bit of sanity completely collapsed.
While patting the coffin lid, he looked at Fu Yao viciously.
"How are you more noble than me? Fu Yao! Are you really willing to compromise because of me? No, you are greedy, vain, a bully, and arrogant. How could you lower your proud head for others?"
"You only have your eyes on the position of princess. You yearn for the power to be above everyone else. There's no difference between you and me!"
The coffin was pushed into the crematorium.
While waiting for the army under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find a crematorium, Fu Yao held the urn and looked at the person in front of her in a daze.
Fu Yao was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a member of the royal family.
After learning of her sentence, she chose not to appeal.
She lay on her prison bed, dreaming of falling asleep and waking up at a newly chosen time.
Have a happy and fulfilling life.
…
Three months later, Mr. Li came uninvited and asked Fu Yu to remove the acupuncture needles.
"Why did you choose the Fu family in the first place?"
Fu Yu asked suddenly while rolling the silver needle.
Old Master Li clenched his fists. "I just wanted to choose the woman who would be most beneficial to Ah Ci. I didn't expect that Fu Yao would be so terrifying. Maybe it was a coincidence that she didn't marry into the Li family."
After saying this, the silver needle was not pulled out, but was inserted a few centimeters deeper.
"you……"
Old Master Li only felt his eyes swollen and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
"You, you want to kill me..."
"What's the difference between you and Ji Yanli? You chose the Fu family because of the secret of Fu's great-grandfather's longevity, right?"
A gleam of light flashed in Mr. Li's eyes.
It's impossible to say there is no connection at all.
Who among the big men standing at the pinnacle of power doesn’t want to live a long life and pass on his legacy to future generations?
"Since you are his adopted daughter, I think you should know the hidden truth, right?"
Fu Yu pursed her lips and leaned close to Mr. Li's ear.
While talking, he pulled out the needle.
Mr. Li's expression did not relax, but became more and more nervous and uneasy. His cloudy eyes turned stiffly a few times, and finally fell on Fu Yu's face.
“You, you…”
"Just keep going."
Half a month later, Mr. Li died suddenly.
There is no secret to longevity. My great-grandfather actually died at the age of 90.
He just kept the death a secret and used the adoption of Fu Yu to attract attention and divert focus.
Except for my great-grandfather, no one in the Fu family had the talent to do business.
He was worried that once the news of his death got out, the wolves, tigers and leopards around would smell the scent and come forward to bite him, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
The hundred-year fortune he had accumulated was ultimately destroyed.
The old man's funeral was held in a grand manner according to the standards of a state funeral. Celebrities and media from all walks of life in the empire came to mourn this legendary boss.
Several eldest grandsons from the collateral branches carried the coffin, and Li Zongci held up the old man's portrait.
Fu Yu followed behind him, wearing black sunglasses and with a solemn expression.
Someone from the side branch suddenly stepped forward to stop Fu Yu, suspecting that she was the one who caused the old man to pass away.
Li Zongci's blue pupils captured his expression coldly.
He took Fu Yu's arm and said, "I know my wife. She would never do anything to harm the Li family."
