The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Seeing Qiu Lingfeng's stunned expression, Jian Yue's eyes flashed with a smile as she mocked, "Qiu Lingfeng, you have no idea how much he hates you. You tricked him into having sex with you, but have you ever thought that he has been tainted by something unclean on you? Now that he is weak, all his resentment is directed at you."

Qiu Lingfeng was stunned. She shook her head and said, turning away, "No, I... I didn't do anything. I just... I just wanted to be with him, I..."

"Didn't do anything? Then how did you manage to have sex with him in the prison cell? You don't know, do you? He was poisoned after that day, and it was the most dangerous Gu poison in the Miao region. Tsk tsk, if he doesn't hate you, who does he hate?"

After saying that, Jian Yue smiled and looked at Sun Shixin, saying, "Is the young master of the Sun family very happy? This child is yours."

Sun Shixin was indeed a bit stunned. His marriage to Qiu Lingfeng was an accident, but he also had feelings for his aloof cousin. After their marriage, he was so happy that he wanted to marry her right away.

But for some reason, the Qiu family refused to agree and even demanded compensation. In particular, his aunt, Sun Rouxiang, actually beat him up.

Damn it, this isn't his fault. If his aunt hadn't instigated him and his sister to avenge Qiu Lingrong, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

Ultimately, all of this is their own fault.

After that, the Sun family and the Qiu family broke off all contact. He thought he would never be able to marry the beauty of his dreams again in this lifetime, but who knew that he would be given such a huge bombshell.

He actually got promoted and became a father.

Master Sun, however, was somewhat embarrassed and immediately said to Jian Yue in a serious tone, "Miss, please don't speak nonsense. What relationship does the Qiu family's daughter have with my Sun family? She is the Crown Prince's person, and my Sun family would never dare to take her."

Jian Yue feigned surprise: "Oh my, she's already pregnant, and you just want to get rid of the child? That doesn't make sense. Besides, it depends on how the Crown Prince handles this. In any case, these two have cheated on the Crown Prince, so does the Crown Prince expect to be grateful and forgive them?"

Master Sun frowned: "What do you mean by that, young lady? Are you going to hold my Sun family accountable for their crimes? What does this have to do with my Sun family? My son Xin never did anything in the Prime Minister's residence when he was a child. There is no evidence to support this claim. How can you make false accusations?"

Jian Yue smiled helplessly at Master Sun and said, "I've seen plenty of people struggling to survive, but I've never seen anyone like you, Master Sun. Everyone in the Prime Minister's residence saw it clearly. It was the people from the Prime Minister's residence who called you over. Can't the future Crown Princess be a witness?"

As for physical evidence, it's naturally the piece of flesh inside Qiu Lingfeng's belly. We can simply cut open her stomach, take out the flesh, and do a blood test to determine if it's true or false.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lingfeng's eyes widened and she roared hoarsely, "Shangguan Jianyue, how cruel you are! I curse you to die a horrible death!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue nonchalantly pouted and said, "I told you I'm crazy. Shangguan Jian Yue has already died a terrible death. Why are you still cursing me? Didn't you push me off the Hongmeng Bridge yourself? How can you be so forgetful?"

After speaking, Jian Yue looked at Qiu Zhenzhou and said, "Lord Qiu, do you think my method is feasible? After all, it is the only way to prove Qiu Lingfeng's innocence. Although the process is too bloody, it is a shortcut."

Qiu Zhenzhou remained silent, but Xiao Rou beside him said, "Miss, what you said is absolutely right, but if we really have to perform a cesarean section, will our young lady still be alive? Aren't you just taking her life?"

"No, I'll have the Golden Armor Guards do it. They can take the child out in one move. The Ghost Doctor is still in the Crown Prince's residence. As long as she's not dead, the Ghost Doctor can save her. As long as Qiu Lingfeng is innocent, we'll carry her back to the Crown Prince's residence. Not only will we cure her, but we'll also treat her as an honored guest, waiting for the Crown Prince to marry her soon. Isn't this a more worthwhile deal for the Qiu family?"

Xiao Rou glanced at the old lady sitting down, and seeing that the old lady still didn't speak, she asked again, "What if the child isn't?"

Jian Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Rou. The light in his eyes made Xiao Rou feel a chill. She couldn't help but take half a step back and lean against Qiu Zhenzhou.

Then, Jian Yue laughed and said, "If it weren't for the Crown Prince, wouldn't it all be the same result? She dies, and the Qiu family perishes."

Jian Yue spoke these words with absolute certainty, which immediately invigorated all the Qiu family members present. The old lady on the seat also opened her eyes and looked at Jian Yue with sharp eyes.

"Young lady, it is wise to be forgiving and leave room for maneuver in all things, so that there will be a better outcome in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue suddenly smiled and said, "What are you saying, old lady? I am merely someone who works for the Crown Prince. Are you threatening me?"

The old lady finally got up and slowly walked to Qiu Lingfeng's side.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Lingfeng's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "Grandma, save me! I really didn't do anything."

The old lady didn't speak, but stared at Qiu Lingfeng for a long time before turning her head and sighing, "The Qiu family is very strict in managing its household, and there has never been any illicit affair between men and women. The Sun family and the Qiu family are related by marriage, so it is absolutely impossible for such a sordid thing to happen there."

But now that things have come to this, my Qiu family has lost face, and we absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be further tarnished by such a reputation. Therefore, Lingfeng, you have always been filial; for your father's sake, take your own life!

"You, you, say, say what? Grandma, I..."

Qiu Lingfeng couldn't believe her ears. Her own grandmother was treating her like this. She looked at Qiu Zhenzhou in shock, but Qiu Zhenzhou had already lowered his eyes and was not looking at her at all. Instead, he said to Jian Yue, "You come on behalf of the Crown Prince. This matter must be resolved. Today, the Qiu family will give the Crown Prince an explanation."

My wife, Lady Sun, was not properly disciplined and even spoke ill of the Crown Prince, thus committing one of the seven grounds for divorce. Today, I have divorced her, and from this day forward, she has nothing to do with the Qiu family.

As for Qiu Lingyu, the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, her improper conduct has brought shame upon the family. Today, I will, in accordance with the law, drown her in the pond as a warning to the world.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Shixin suddenly panicked. He took a step forward, but was stopped by Master Sun, who growled, "What are you doing?"

Sun Shixin lowered his head and stammered, "In her belly..."

"Shut up. What's in her belly has nothing to do with you. Keep your mouth shut and don't bring disaster to the family."

Sun Shixin immediately shut up, glanced at Qiu Lingfeng who was already in a daze, clenched his fist, shook his head and forced himself to back away.

He certainly loved the beauty, but it couldn't compare to his own life. He really couldn't bear the guilt of cuckolding the Crown Prince. If Qiu Lingfeng died today, his family would be fine; it would just be like owing Qiu Zhenzhou a favor.

This is probably what Qiu Zhenzhou wants as well. After all, the Qiu family has already fallen on hard times. If they don't try to find a powerful backer, the Qiu family will only decline in the capital and never be able to recover.

Master Sun and Sun Shixin remained silent, exchanging glances that made Jian Yue chuckle inwardly.

Sure enough, people are selfish.

On this side, he can abandon his wife and legitimate daughter for his own sake, and on the other side, it's the same. To protect himself, what's so difficult about abandoning a grandson and son who hasn't been born yet and has never been expected?

But will this really make things go as planned?

Jian Yue smiled and walked up to the old lady. Looking at the old lady's still calm face, she smiled and said, "Madam, you have a good plan. But if it were really so easy to convict someone, neither of us would have needed to come to this mansion and suffer for nothing."

She beckoned, and a golden-armored guard placed a stack of papers in her hand. She unfolded the papers one by one and said with a smile, "These are the findings of the Crown Prince himself. They are all about the methods of refining and raising Gu poison."

Oh, and there's one more thing I forgot to mention. Qiu Lingfeng is incredibly audacious; she's cast a Gu poison on the Crown Prince, and he's currently suffering greatly from it. And coincidentally, the methods for making Gu poison leaked from the Qiu family's inner quarters. I wonder if Lord Qiu and the Old Madam could offer me an explanation?"

The old lady's expression finally changed. She suddenly looked up at Jian Yue, who remained silent and unperturbed by her gaze. She continued, "Qiu Lingfeng also has Gu worms. The way she poisoned the Crown Prince was by having sex with him, using herself as a conductor. In this way, she was poisoned by Gu, and then the poison was transmitted to the Crown Prince."

Naturally, this Gu poison wasn't cast by Qiu Lingfeng, but by someone else. It's truly unexpected that the Qiu family is so full of hidden talents; they've even mastered the witchcraft of the Miao region perfectly.

After saying that, Jian Yue turned around abruptly, her gaze fierce as she looked at an inconspicuous corner in the crowd. There stood Qiu Lingyun, looking guilty. When she saw Jian Yue looking over, she took several steps back and subconsciously shook her hand. Instantly, two scorpions came out from her sleeves, baring their teeth and glaring at Jian Yue menacingly.

Qiu Zhenzhou was shocked and suddenly shouted, "Qiu Lingyun, what are you doing?"

Qiu Lingyu trembled, then her face suddenly turned ferocious. With a flick of her sleeve, several inconspicuous insects pounced on Qiu Zhenzhou and Xiao Rou. Qiu Zhenzhou was startled and instinctively pulled Xiao Rou in front of him.

Xiao Rou let out a cry as the Gu worms burrowed into her neck. Instantly, her skin began to writhe, and the Gu worms slowly gnawed at her flesh. She collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.

Jian Yue shook her head and clicked her tongue, saying, "They say that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Lord Qiu's actions are truly shocking."

When the Gu worm entered Xiao Rou's body, Qiu Zhenzhou released Xiao Rou, pushed her aside, straightened his clothes, took a step back and said, "She is just a concubine, not worthy of being husband and wife."
