Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Chu Wushuang had been living in constant anxiety these past few days. He knew that Feng Jinnian would not let him go once he returned, and this anxiety intensified, especially after Chu Yun left yesterday.

Now that Feng Jinnian has returned, he is likely to be held accountable for his crimes. But strangely, the anxiety and pain of being about to be executed gradually dissipated on his way to find Feng Jinnian.

Everyone has their own chosen path, and he chose to assist Feng Jinnian. Now that Chu Yun is about to enter the palace, no one will be able to disturb Feng Jinnian's mind. He has achieved what he sought, and even if he cannot escape death, what is there to fear?

Therefore, when Chu Wenshu entered Feng Jinnian's room, he was not too flustered. He calmly knelt down and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

With a dark expression, Feng Jinnian asked, "Did you tell Qin Chuyun all of my schemes?"

“The Crown Prince is surrounded by dangers. Miss Qin wants to help you, and I only want to share your burdens,” Chu Wenshu said.

This was tantamount to an admission. Feng Jinnian's hands, which were resting on his lap, tightened suddenly. Then, he picked up a teacup from the table and threw it at Chu Wushuang, shouting, "How dare you! Who gave you permission to act rashly?"

Feng Jinnian rarely got angry like this. He was always a master strategist, and even when he got angry because his plans were thwarted, he would just sneer and laugh as he tormented those who stood in his way. This was the first time he had ever shown his anger on his face and in his actions.

Standing to the side, Feng Yi was terrified, while Chu Wenshu, facing Feng Jinnian's rage, felt relieved: he hadn't expected Qin Chuyun to have such a great influence on the Crown Prince; it was good that he hadn't kept her around.

"I know I'm guilty, but Miss Qin is truly devoted to you. She voluntarily entered the palace to pave the way for you, and I have no choice but to respect her loyalty," Chu Wushuang said. There's no turning back now; at this point, he must first calm Feng Jinnian down and let him know that Chu Yun entered the palace voluntarily. Only then can he possibly calm Feng Jinnian down.

“I don’t care whether she entered the palace voluntarily or not. I only know that I have already called off this plan. Even if she were to go, she doesn’t need to go. I will send someone to bring her back right now.” Feng Jinnian said with a gloomy face.

Chu Wushuang became anxious, "Your Highness, this is unacceptable! The plan has already begun, and everyone is ready. Once we bring Miss Qin back, this matter will easily be exposed, and our losses will be incalculable."

He himself was not afraid of death; he was only afraid that all his plans would come to naught.

“You should have thought this day would come when you disobeyed my orders,” Feng Jinnian sneered.

“Your Highness, even if you don’t consider the bigger picture, you should at least think about Miss Qin. If her decision indirectly causes the deaths of so many people, do you think she can accept it?” Chu Wushuang raised his voice.

Feng Jinnian stared intently at Chu Wushuang, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

Chu Wenshu, with his neck stiff, said, "I know I have disobeyed Your Highness's orders and my crime is unforgivable. If Your Highness wishes to vent your anger, you may kill me, but please do not act impulsively."

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Feng Jinnian laughed angrily, gritting his teeth as he said, word by word, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

He stepped forward, drew the sword from Feng Yi's waist, and placed it on Chu Wushuang's shoulder. The sharp blade left a red mark on Chu Wushuang's neck.

Feng Yi was so shocked that his pupils shrank slightly, and he fell to the ground. "Your Highness, please think it over. Mr. Chu has served you for many years. Even if he has not made any great contributions, he has certainly worked hard. Moreover, Mr. Chu still needs to take care of the poison in your body."

Feng Yi's last words only fueled Feng Jinnian's anger, causing him to tighten his grip on Chu Wushuang's hand and say, "You dare to do whatever you want because of this, don't you?"

Having the resolve to die doesn't mean you won't be afraid when you actually face death. Feng Jinnian is right; Chu Wushuang did have this in mind. He thought that as long as the Bone-Entangling Intoxication wasn't broken, Feng Jinnian wouldn't kill him, but now it seems that's not the case. Feng Jinnian really wants to kill him.

"At first, I did rely on my medical skills to dare to reveal the truth to Miss Qin. However, later, I was moved by Miss Qin's sincere feelings for you. She did not want the young master to be in danger and helpless. I had my own selfish reasons, but if Miss Qin was unwilling, I could not force her. If the young master does this now, wouldn't he be letting down Miss Qin's good intentions?" Chu Wushuang said.

Feng Jinnian's chest heaved violently. He abruptly flung the sword away from his hand and yelled, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Feng Yi helped the limp Chu Wushuang out of the room. As soon as they stepped out, the sound of breaking cups and saucers echoed from inside. The two looked at each other, their faces ashen.

Feng Jinnian felt a tightness in his chest, a feeling of stuffiness and pain.

He wanted to blame Chu Yun, but he knew that no matter what, he couldn't blame her. It was because he hadn't sorted out his feelings for her and hadn't been able to give her enough security. It was his concealment and hesitation that made her worry day and night, and even willing to sacrifice herself for his benefit.

He felt a pang of heartache. Just thinking about how Chu Yun had endured the excruciating medicinal bath alone, and how heartbroken she was when she left, made his heart ache.

He doesn't deserve Chu Yun's sincere treatment at all.

His previous arrangements for her were humiliating to her, yet she was still willing to help him.

Feng Jinnian felt terrible; his heart was throbbing with pain, and he felt as if all his strength had been drained away.

He slumped to the ground, like a soulless puppet.

Compared to Feng Jinnian's despair and numbness, Chu Yun's life was quite leisurely.

Qin Ming is an orphan, and his identity information is true. He does indeed have an eldest daughter who is frail and is being fostered in a nunnery. She is not allowed to see outsiders until she is sixteen years old.

However, his daughter didn't make it through and died six years ago. It was around this time that Feng Jinnian approached Qin Ming and brought him under his wing.

To facilitate Feng Jinnian's plan, Qin Ming concealed the news of his beloved daughter's death, and didn't even tell his wife.

It can be said that in this world, only four people know that Chu Yun's identity is fake: Feng Jinnian, Qin Ming, Feng Yi, and Chu Wushuang.

Chu Yun returned to the Qin family as Qin Ming's eldest daughter and was deeply loved by Madam Qin. Madam Qin had only seen her beloved daughter in her swaddling clothes when she was born, and had not seen her daughter for sixteen years since. Years of regret and guilt made her devote almost all her attention to Chu Yun, and she even neglected her own eldest son.

Chu Yun assumed the identity of Madam Qin's daughter. Although she had no intention of harming her, she still felt guilty. Moreover, she might never be able to get rid of this identity for the rest of her life, so she became very close to Madam Qin.

Recently, the Qin family has been blessed with a loving mother and filial daughter. Even Qin Ming, who is usually stern and unsmiling, often smiles. Soon, everyone in Huzhou, from the aristocratic families to the common people, knows that the eldest daughter of the Qin family, who had been fostered in a nunnery, has returned and is very much loved by the Qin Prefect and his wife.
