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

Chu Yingge returned to the Prime Minister's residence. As soon as she pushed open the door to her room, she found that there was another person inside.

Chu Tian's face was gloomy as he looked at Chu Yingge, who had returned from outside, his gaze growing increasingly unfriendly.

The entire Prime Minister's residence was under his control, yet he had no idea when the person in front of him had left.

So secretly and without anyone noticing, it really made him wonder if the woman in front of him was still his daughter.

"Where have you been?" The unfriendly tone instantly made the air temperature drop considerably.

Chu Yingge raised an eyebrow and walked over from the side. Even in the dim candlelight, one could see that Chu Tian's temples were already slightly gray.

Since they are already elderly, they shouldn't meddle in other people's business. It would be better for them to enjoy their retirement.

"What I do is none of your business. Is it because you failed in your assassination attempt before, so you're planning to take matters into your own hands today?"

"So you knew all along," Chu Tian said in a deep voice.

Chu Yingge snorted coldly, a hint of disdain in her eyes, her arrogant tone creating a distance between her and Chu Tian.

"It would be strange if I didn't know such low-level assassination techniques."

"Who exactly are you?" Chu Tian didn't dwell on this question for long, instead changing the subject.

The woman in front of him was too sharp. Even though he had never cared about his daughter, he knew that a person's personality deviation would not be so great.

Chu Yingge did not flinch from Chu Tian's scrutinizing gaze; instead, she went straight to meet it.

"Don't you know who I am, Father?"

"Don't spout nonsense!" Chu Tian slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "My daughter is definitely not as rebellious as you!"

"That's a rather strange thing to say."

Chu Yingge crossed her arms and coldly stared at Chu Tian, ​​who was standing in front of her, filled with rage.

"If I am not your daughter, then who am I?"

Chu Yingge knew better than anyone that Chu Tian only had suspicions and no sufficient evidence. People in ancient times simply had no way of explaining time travel.

Moreover, she wasn't afraid of Chu Tian investigating, because he wouldn't find anything at all.

She was even more disappointed in this father than before. He failed in his assassination attempt, yet he still had the nerve to come here and question her.

Chu Tian was speechless for a moment. He only had suspicions and no solid evidence.

Slowly sitting down, Chu Tian stared at Chu Yingge for a long time before suddenly grinning, revealing a chilling aura.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you've become the Seventh Prince's consort? On the surface, you're unwilling to marry the Seventh Prince, but secretly you're making him move the wedding date forward. Isn't that just to cover your tracks?"

Chu Yingge was somewhat noncommittal, probably not expecting Chu Tian's thought process to be so peculiar.

She was indeed unwilling to marry the Seventh Prince before, and it was true that she wanted to annul the engagement. But now that she is on the same side as the Seventh Prince, the idea of ​​annuling the engagement has naturally disappeared.

"Father was right after all. I was just trying to keep it a secret."

"Sure enough, I guessed it right."

Seeing the smug look on Chu Tian's face, Chu Yingge rolled her eyes helplessly. It was really beneath her to consider someone like him as an opponent.

Turning around and returning to her own bed, Chu Yingge looked at Chu Tian with an expression that seemed to say, "Please leave."

"Father, I'm going to sleep now. It might not be appropriate for you to stay here any longer!"

"Are you going to kick me out already?" A mischievous glint flashed in Chu Tian's eyes. "I'm warning you, you'd better keep your thoughts to yourself. Even if you become the Seventh Prince's Consort, those things you shouldn't say should still be kept to yourself."

The warning was indeed very strong, but Chu Yingge didn't buy it at all.

If Chu Tian had been willing to humble himself and beg her from the beginning, playing the father-daughter bond card, she might have let him go out of consideration for the original owner of this body.

But Chu Tian did not.

Not only that, he also came to cause her trouble time and time again. Especially when she learned that Chu Tian had personally killed the mother of the original owner of this body, she felt even less affection for this father who had appeared out of nowhere.

In her eyes, Chu Tian was a beast in his father's skin.

Although she wasn't a good person, she still had a bottom line when it came to being a decent human being.

Getting up from the bedside, Chu Yingge walked up to Chu Tian, ​​giving him a cold look. Suddenly, a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone came to mind.

Since Chu Tian is naturally suspicious, it would be better to temporarily shift Chu Tian's target of hostility, so as to avoid him coming to bother her for no reason.

After all, she's a master at sowing discord.

"Father shouldn't worry about me. What can a weak woman like me achieve?"

"You are not some weak woman."

In the past, Chu Tian would not have paid much attention to this daughter, but now, everything Chu Yingge does is beyond his expectations. If he doesn't take her seriously, he will eventually fall into Chu Yingge's trap.

It's better to take precautions early than to fall victim to your own daughter.

Chu Yingge picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, her smile growing even brighter.

"Thank you for your kind words, Father. But compared to me, I think the person you should be most worried about is my eldest brother."

"Silent?" Chu Tian frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Chu Yingge nodded slightly, her smile unchanged: "Father must have seen clearly what happened during the day. No matter how outrageous I was, I did not kill anyone in front of so many branches of the Chu family, especially when Father was present."

During the day at the ancestral hall, Chu Moran killed Li Ma. Although this saved Zhang Shi and allowed the matter to be covered up, Chu Yingge did not overlook Chu Tian's expression when Chu Moran killed Li Ma.

After all, that was the Chu family ancestral hall, and there were many branches of the Chu family around it. Chu Moran's audacity, coupled with Chu Tian's naturally suspicious nature, naturally made him feel uncomfortable.

If no one else had brought this up, it wouldn't have mattered. But Chu Yingge brought it up so openly, and in such a persuasive tone, that Chu Tian couldn't help but think about it.

Indeed, compared to Chu Yingge, Chu Moran's destructive power is slightly greater.

But Chu Tian wasn't stupid. No matter how powerful someone is, if they can be used for his own purposes, then they are not an enemy.

No matter how outrageous Chu Moran was, at least he didn't break off relations with him openly or confront him directly. But Chu Yingge was different. Not only did she contradict him time and time again, but she also threatened him with his secrets.

"You think I'll let you off the hook just because you said that? Don't forget, you're the biggest threat to my heart!"

"What can I say if Father says so?" Chu Yingge shrugged, looking indifferent.
