Chapter 1221 None of those were a lie.
Old Su looked at Chen Rui and understood that her words were directed to him … to insult him … slap him in front of everyone. But he would also make sure that what happens today doesn't end well for them. After all, there was still an ace up his sleeves that would never go to waste.
As he thought like that, the indignation in his expression dissipated as he turned to look at his son with pride in his eyes. "You have made all the arrangements, right?" he asked, suddenly snapping his son out of his thoughts.
Su Ce turned to look at his father. His expression half looked lost, unable to reply to him for the first few seconds.
Not getting the required answer on time from his son, Old Su's expression once again hardened. "What? Is there a problem?"
Su Ce flinched at his father's tone and immediately shook his head. "Nothing, father. Everything is fine." He said and the old man looked doubtfully at him.
Although he didn't show his suspiciousness over his denial, he said his words very firmly. "Su Ce, this time you better not bring me any embarrassment. Be mindful of your acts." He said before turning away from his son.
Su Ce wanted to say something but just before he could, his father had already looked away from him. And he had no other way but to wait for him to confess the things.
While at the front just after Chen Rui said that, she gestured to Dr. Young once again, who asked his assistant to take two sets of paper out for the lady.
"Please hand it to Her Highness." He said, nodding to him, soon the assistant walked to hand over the papers to the lady.
Chen Rui took the papers in her hand and then gave them to the serviceman standing behind her. "Help me put these two sets of paper together on the projector, side by side.
The man nodded with politeness, before going to oblige the orders of the lady. Soon the lights were dimmed, and the two sets of paper were casted on the board through the projector.
"These two sets of papers are the medical evidence that would prove Li Xue as our daughter. As you can see one paper shows the medical evidence of the baby I delivered, while the other shows the birth certificate of Li Xue, tested and proved by Dr. Young. If you see the date and time mentioned on both the evidence, you can easily tell that it's about the same child."
She said and the people followed her words checking the same on the papers. Truly the date and the time were exactly the same. With that proof itself, it was proved that Li Xue was no other but the daughter of the royal couple.
Although Li Xue knew of the plans that were being executed at the moment by her parents, she was still taken aback by the evidence she had just seen. Her birth date and time were no lie. That's exactly the same date and time she has known. But how could it be possible to match the exact date of the other sheet of evidence? She didn't have any idea.
Soon the lights were again put on and Li Xue's gaze went to find Chen Rui at the very first moment. She was curious to know how did exactly that happened. And she knew other than the lady, no one else could tell?
Could it be possible that … the story they were narrating to make people believe in them was right and it was the actual incident that actually happened? If that was possible then …
Although Li Xue stared at Chen Rui for some time, the lady didn't turn to look her way at any moment. Instead, all her focus stayed on the people.
"The evidence could be enough proof to prove the things. But since I have a witness as well, I won't hide it from you all. When all of these things happened to us in the past, old lady Zhao was there by my side all the time. She could vouch for the loss I suffered and the pain that it caused me. If anyone of you still doesn't want to believe the evidence, then you can hear from her as well."
Chen Rui said, adding up her stance more strongly. Old Lady Zhao was not just their distant aunt, but the lady also held the reputation and respect that none of the royal members could defy. Not even Shin Tingming, himself. If she becomes one to seal the tag of truth to Chen Rui's words, no one would have the guts to reject it.
Old Lady Zhao looked at Chen Rui. Though her expression looked quite composed, Chen Rui could see the hints of surprise in her eyes. Of course, the lady must be surprised by the twist of her words. After all, none of those were a lie.
"Her Highness' each and every word is real. I, Lady Zhao, of the royal court could vouch for it with my age-long loyalty to the royal family and court." Raising her hand in support, the old lady didn't show any hesitation in accepting it. Her lips tugged up as she looked at the couple all satisfied.
Chen Rui reciprocated her smile with hers before giving a slight negligent bow of her head. "Thank you, Aunt Zhao. Not just for supporting me today but also for helping me recover back that time. Without you, it would have been tougher."
She said and the old lady shook her head. "You are exaggerating it, Your Highness. You are our Royal Highness; serving you and the state of Chiboa is our duty." She said, acting with her best modesty.
Once done with it, Chen Rui again turned to look at everyone, before asking for the last time. Now that it's all explained, is there still someone who doubts it?" She said before looking around, matching each and every pair of eyes that have been looking at her. But just when it would meet with her, people would look down in guilt as if they were regretting it now in their heart.
But there was still someone among the people sitting, who held no guilt in his eyes. Chen Rui looked at him and asked, "Mr. Su, do you still have a question? If you have then sorry, but you have to look around for it yourself. Being the Royal Highness, explaining is not my thing to do. Being a subject of the court, you have to accept what your king and queen say. As the follower of royal court law, that's the least you should know."
She said, making a clear line for the man to follow, even if he doesn't want to.
