Chapter 857: Chapter 855: Shen Yu Exposed

Although Su Yingxue felt that this recognition of kin was rather abrupt, the crisscrossing tears in the old eyes of the Empress Dowager made it hard for her to utter any words of refusal.

The Empress Dowager took her by the hand and led her to sit on the couch, her eyes full of cherished affection.

“My Zheng Er was lost for many years and drifted in the outside world. Her child has suffered so much over the years.” The Empress Dowager couldn’t hold back her tears as she remembered, choking up continuously.

Perhaps it was the blood relationship, Su Yingxue felt some heartache and quickly handed over a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, “Grandmother, don’t cry. I was born in the Marquis’s Manor and haven’t suffered such hardship. Now I am also married to Your Highness and have become the Ninth Princess Consort, living a good life.”

She turned her head and met Chu Yihan’s gaze, and the sparks that touched in their eyes were truly enviable.

The Empress Dowager broke into a smile, “This… is truly double happiness. I didn’t expect my granddaughter to have already married by the time she returned!”

“Your Highness, rest assured, I have always cherished the Princess,” Chu Yihan said, comforting the old lady.

On the Empress Dowager’s kindly face, the joy became even more evident. She took Chu Yihan’s hand and repeated, “Good, good, good! Now that I have a grandson-in-law as well, this old woman could close her eyes in peace even if I were to enter the coffin now.”

“Imperial Grandmother, on such a joyous day, what are you saying?” Qin Rulie reminded with a stern face.

The Empress Dowager quickly covered her mouth, “Yes, yes, finding my granddaughter is indeed a great joy!”

“Imperial Grandmother, although there is joy, some people must be dealt with!”

Qin Muyan’s face was icy as he spoke. He was happy for Su Yingxue, but he would not let those who impersonated her go unpunished. He was determined to seek justice for Su Yingxue!

“Yes, these people have deceived both Your Majesty and the imperial grandmother, and their crimes must be punished!” Qin Rulie said indignantly, waving his hand to have them dragged away.

“Imperial Grandmother, my status might not be as distinguished as that of the Ninth Princess Consort, but are you going to let someone just replace me like this?” Shen Yu said, her cry was plaintive and pitiful as she wiped away her tears.

Behind her, Shen’s parents were already trembling like sifted flour.

The couple muttered privately:

Shen’s Father: “I told you to not be greedy, always aiming for the princess’s status, seeking wealth and glory! Now look at what happened, you’re gambling with your very lives!”

Shen’s Mother: “And it’s not because of your uselessness as head of the family! If our daughter wasn’t the princess, you would have died of illness long ago!”

Shen’s Father dared not speak anymore, but he was also very scared and timid. He wanted to persuade Shen Yu that in this situation, it was best to beg for mercy sooner rather than later!

Shen Yu turned and gave them a fierce glare, full of warning.

The Empress Dowager’s face turned serious, “Shen Yu, I thought you resembled Zheng Er, so I didn’t investigate carefully. But now, obviously, it is Lou Tai who has made a mistake and found the wrong person!”

Lou Tai quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, “Imperial Grandmother, spare my life! For all these years, your humble servant has been making the utmost effort to find the Eldest Princess and her bloodline, never daring to slack off!”

He glared at Mu Fei with resentment, as it was this person who had deceived him by every possible means at first!

Now… his life was at stake!

Mu Fei smiled faintly, his eyes filled with contempt, feeling not the slightest embarrassment for being in a predicament.

“Enough! More words are useless. Drag these people away and choose a day for their execution!”

Qin Rulie gave the order directly.

Qin Muyan asked for permission, “Imperial Brother, please allow me to supervise the execution!”

“Good, granted.”

Qin Rulie agreed heartily.

Shen Yu had been seized, and she looked at Mu Fei in a rush.
