Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 235: Who Would Be Foolish Enough to Gamble with Their Own Life?

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Who Would Be Foolish Enough to Gamble with Their Own Life?

"Dead woman..." Pain pierced through Feng Yexuan’s heart.

He wanted to reach out his hand and touch her.

But her entire being radiated an aura of despair akin to death itself.

It was a chill that seemed so distant from him, so far that there was no longer any way to reach it.

After her scream, she simply held Qianqian’s corpse, motionless, like a statue.

Bloodstains were still sliding down the corners of her lips.

Finally, Feng Yexuan couldn’t bear it any longer and pulled her up forcefully.

"She is already dead, come to your senses!"

He wanted to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, but the woman pushed him away again.

Dazed, she was pulled up and began to frantically push against his large palms.

Wordlessly, unable to push him away, she lowered her head and bit hard into the back of his hand.

Feng Yexuan didn’t let go, and soon she bit into his hand, drawing blood.

"Miss Li, don’t hurt the Prince!" Leng Ji, standing by, was frantic.

He wanted to stop her, but how could he?

The Prince could push Chu Qianli away at any time, but he did not react; what more could he do?

In the end, it was Feng Yexuan who loosened his grip.

Chu Qianli immediately let go of his bleeding hand, quickly knelt back down, and picked up Qianqian’s body.

Leng Ji looked at Qianqian’s face, and his heart clenched painfully in an instant.

Not long ago, he had held this little girl in his arms when she was unconscious from drunkenness.

Back then, she was a lively little girl.

Now, she had turned into a cold, lifeless corpse.

Leng Ji’s heart, belatedly realizing, tightened more and more.

Seeing Chu Qianli’s expressionless face, as if she were a stone sculpture, for some reason, the corners of his eyes also felt moist.

It really was unbearable.

He wanted to console her, but he didn’t know what to say.

The person was already gone; anything he said would be futile.

"Prince!"

The door to Chu Huaiyu’s bedroom was flung open.

Mr. Liujin, who had just entered, strode out, "Prince, Miss Huaiyu’s condition is extremely critical; Prince, you... you need to see for yourself!"

Feng Yexuan’s expression changed, glancing once more at Chu Qianli.

Finally, he said to Leng Ji, "Look after her!"

And then he left immediately!

He couldn’t let the daughter of Long Qianyue come to harm on his watch, otherwise, he would never be able to live with himself!

A tension seized Leng Ji’s heart.

Mr. Liujin’s medical skills were renown, and if even he was at a loss, the situation was truly grave.

But Leng Ji couldn’t believe that the little Qianqian, always timid, would dare to poison someone.

No one would dare to gamble with their own life to frame another person.

If Chu Huaiyu was trying to set up a maid, to the point of disregarding her own life, that seemed preposterous.

What exactly happened? How could this be?

Feng Yexuan and Mr. Liujin went inside.

The door was closed once more, inside, the urgent attempts to save a life persisted.

Leng Ji knelt beside Chu Qianli and said hoarsely, "Miss Li, let... let me take you back."

This place belonged to Chu Huaiyu.

For Qianqian to remain here... even as a corpse, it was inappropriate.

Chu Qianli numbly said, "Qianqian would not poison anyone, all of you are wronging her!"

"Miss Li, Miss Huaiyu’s life hangs in the balance, even Mr. Liujin says it’s difficult; this illness isn’t fake, Mr. Liujin would never take sides with anyone."

Leng Ji had absolute faith in Mr. Liujin.

If he said it was hard to save her, it truly meant she was hanging by a thread, on the verge between life and death.

Leng Ji now was full of doubts as well.

But staying here was not a solution either.

"Miss Chu, let’s first take Qianqian’s... body back, shall we? Miss Chu..."

But he never expected that Chu Qianli would suddenly drop Qianqian’s corpse and madly dash towards Chu Huaiyu’s bedroom.

Leng Ji didn’t react in time; in that instant, he saw the murderous intent in the depths of Chu Qianli’s eyes...

Murderous intent!

This is bad!

Leng Ji suddenly rose, wanting to chase after her, but it was already too late.

Chu Qianli, driven mad, seemed to have gained much more strength.

The two maids guarding the entrance to Chu Huaiyu’s room were knocked aside by her as she violently charged in.

The door slammed heavily against her body, but she ignored it all and, without looking at anyone, rushed towards the sickbed.

"What are you doing?" Feng Yexuan was sitting not far from the sickbed.

When Chu Qianli charged at him, he captured her in one move.

"Have you gone mad?"

"Let go of me!"

Chu Qianli struggled frantically.

"They killed Qianqian; I want to avenge her, let go!"

A third of that pair of scissors had plunged into Qianqian’s body; how much force did it take to do that?

This was no accident; it was premeditated, someone here killed Qianqian!

Could someone without Martial Arts even accomplish this?

They murdered Qianqian!

They deliberately plotted to murder Qianqian!

"Let go of me! I don’t believe Chu Huaiyu’s life is really nearing its end; all of this, it’s their doing! Let me go!"

Chu Qianli’s eyes were bloodshot as she screamed hoarsely, "Feng Yexuan, let me go! If you continue to shield this woman, I’ll make you regret it!"

"I will make you regret it!"

"You’re being completely unreasonable!" Feng Yexuan forcefully pushed her away.

This time, perhaps due to the heaviness of the force, her slender body crashed violently into a chair nearby.

Chu Qianli, already injured by Qing Ming, felt a surge of blood in her chest at the violent impact.

If she hadn’t suppressed it with all her might, fresh blood would have undoubtedly spilled from her mouth.

But she couldn’t give up! She had to seek justice for Qianqian!

This was no accident! It was someone with high Martial Arts prowess who used their Inner Strength to drive the scissors into Qianqian’s heart!

Such a delicate young girl, only fifteen or sixteen—if in the modern world, she wouldn’t even have finished high school!

And yet they used such brutal methods to kill her!

They murdered Qianqian!

"Chu Huaiyu, I’m going to kill you!" she ground her teeth, the blood almost reaching her mouth, but she desperately held it in, refusing to show any weakness by spitting blood in front of these jackals.

She was going to kill her! She was going to kill all those plotting and scheming villains!

"Miss Chu, don’t be like this!" Leng Ji followed her in.

He quickly pulled Chu Qianli back before the Prince became enraged.

"Let go!"

"Miss Chu!"

"Miss Chu, Miss Huaiyu has indeed been poisoned severely; even I don’t know if I can save her."

Mr. Liujin was still administering acupuncture to Chu Huaiyu.

But with Chu Qianli causing a scene here, he too was worried about being distracted.

"Miss Chu, you can’t suspect Miss Huaiyu. Would she really risk her own life to frame a maid of lowly status?"

Feng Yexuan had felt a pang of softness for Chu Qianli because of Qianqian’s death.

But now, with Mr. Liujin’s words, he became cold in an instant.

When he heard about this and rushed over, he shared Chu Qianli’s suspicions.

Could it be that Chu Huaiyu was framing her and her maidservant with a self-harm ruse?

But after seeing the dying Chu Huaiyu, that suspicion was completely dispelled.

Who would gamble with their own life to frame a maid?

"Leng Ji, lock her up in Qianyun Pavilion. Without my command, she is not to take even half a step outside!"
