Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he had wanted to get rid of the person in front of him anyway, so why not take advantage of such a good opportunity?

“Since you have confessed, there is no need to continue the trial. Although you are my daughter, murdering your mother is a serious crime, and I have no choice but to hand you over to the Dali Temple.”

"Wait!"

Just as Chu Tian finished speaking, a voice broke through the silence, and a man rushed in from outside the door in a great hurry.

Chu Yinnan glanced at Chu Yingge standing to the side, then turned his gaze to Chu Tian, ​​cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Father, there are many suspicious points in this matter. I think we should investigate it again later."

"Where are the suspicious points?" another voice chimed in.

Chu Moran slowly walked in from outside the door, without even glancing at Chu Yingge standing in the center, and walked straight toward Zhang Shi.

"Mother, are you feeling any better?"

"Seeing you makes me feel much better." Chu Moran's appearance reassured Zhang Shi and Chu Yanran.

Chu Yingge frowned. Her memory was very vivid, and she remembered the two people who had just come in clearly.

Standing beside her was the original owner of this body's older brother, while standing beside Zhang was naturally Chu Moran, the city lord of Luo City, who was also Chu Yanran's biological brother and the pride of the entire Chu family.

Today's events seem to have been orchestrated; it's amazing how everything has come together so perfectly.

Chu Yinnan was facing Chu Yingge, his heartache evident on his face. Since his mother's death, this younger sister was his only family. He had originally thought that once he became successful, he could take his sister away from this awful place, but unexpectedly, he was still too late.

"Yinge, your brother believes you. You definitely didn't do such a thing. Today, explain yourself clearly in front of everyone!"

"I……"

Looking at that worried face, Chu Yingge hesitated for a moment. Chu Yinnan was incredibly good to her younger sister. If she were to confess like this, it would probably be the most painful thing for Chu Yinnan.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yingge changed her mind.

"I definitely did not do such a thing."

"Chu Yingge, don't spout nonsense!" Chu Moran straightened up, his whole body exuding a violent aura.

"I just heard you confess with my own ears, what else do you want to say to argue?"

"That could also be a problem with your ears."

"What did you say?"

Chu Moran never expected that Chu Yingge would dare to contradict him in public. He casually threw the teacup next to him at Chu Yingge with such speed that Chu Yingge had no time to dodge.

Chu Moran was a master, and the teacup he threw was naturally imbued with internal force. Just as the teacup was about to hit Chu Yingge's head, Chu Yinnan suddenly pulled Chu Yingge into his arms and forcefully took the blow.

Although not fatal, it still made Chu Yinnan wince in pain.

Chu Yingge frowned, but was held in Chu Yinnan's arms and showed no intention of breaking free.

In her past life, she had no family ties. Now, heaven has taken pity on her and bestowed upon her a good brother. What could she possibly resist?

"Does it hurt?" Chu Yingge's cool voice reached my ears.

Chu Yinnan smiled, his eyes full of laughter: "It doesn't hurt, Yingge, don't worry, your brother will definitely protect you."

As she spoke, Chu Yinnan released the person in her arms, turned around, and looked at Chu Moran, whose face was full of dark energy.

"Brother, Yingge absolutely did not do such a thing. Please investigate the truth and clear Yingge's name."

"The truth?" Chu Moran sneered, "What truth do you want? Mother's face is so pale, that's the truth!"

“That’s right, Chu Yingge just admitted it herself. We never forced her to do anything!” Chu Yanran chimed in from the side.

"Stop arguing! Don't you even respect me as your father?!"

Chu Tian slammed his hand on the table, and everyone fell silent. Chu Yanran and Chu Moran also kept quiet. Although they were arrogant and domineering, they still dared not act recklessly in front of Chu Tian.

He glanced coldly at the people around him before finally focusing his gaze on Chu Yingge's face. This daughter was truly a mystery to him.

"You just confessed to the crime, why are you going back on your word now!"

"Who heard me confess?"

Chu Yingge glanced at Chu Yinnan beside her, nodded to Chu Yinnan, and indicated that Chu Yinnan could rest assured.

If she doesn't want to confess, there's nothing anyone can do.

His cold gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Zhang, whose face was pale.

With her rouge-powdered face and sorrowful eyes, she truly looked like someone recovering from a serious illness, but her acting skills were ultimately lacking.

"Madam says I murdered you, but do you have any evidence?"

"In this Prime Minister's mansion, only you have a grudge against my mother. You even tied us to a tree before. If it wasn't you, then who was it?" Thinking of this, a hint of resentment flashed in Chu Yanran's eyes. She had gotten to where she was today all thanks to Chu Yingge, so naturally she had to get revenge!

"I see!" Chu Yingge nodded thoughtfully, then a sly smile appeared on her lips.

"So, you have absolutely no evidence to prove that I did all of this, is that right?"

"I..." Chu Yanran was speechless for a moment.

Zhang looked at her daughter and frowned. Fortunately, she knew that Chu Yingge would not give in so easily, so she had made all the arrangements in advance.

“Of course there is evidence. Someone, let Li Ma in.”

"Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, a rough-looking old woman walked in from outside the door. She was dressed in hemp clothes and looked quite honest. Chu Yingge's eyes darkened. This extra was quite convincing.

A rough-looking old woman named Li Ma walked in from outside the door, knelt down with a thud, kept her head down, and never dared to look at Chu Yingge.

"Master, Madam, I am the old woman from the kitchen."

"Li Ma, don't be afraid, just tell me what you saw that day!"

"I……"

Li Ma raised her head and glanced at Zhang Shi, then quickly lowered her head again. Fine beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead, but when she thought of her daughter, she simply closed her eyes and said what they had agreed on earlier.

“I saw Miss Jiu poison Madam’s food.”

"Really? Then why didn't you stop me?" Chu Yingge asked unhurriedly.

"This..." Li Ma was speechless for a moment, her hands rubbing together incessantly, showing that she was extremely nervous.

“I was so scared at the time, so, so…”

"Then why don't you go and tell the Madam? You should know that failing to report something is an even more serious offense!"

"I……"

Li Ma was naturally caught off guard by so many questions and was momentarily speechless.
