Chapter 5: Utilizing the Malicious Crown Prince

The bet proposed by Liu Yue seemed strange, and she had a vague feeling that something was not right. It seemed like a trap, and she needed to warn Mu Yandan not to fall for it.

Even Prince Chu Yi noticed that Liu Yue had changed.

He had never seen her look so beautiful before. In the past, she would either be crouching in a corner or hunching her neck, so he had never seen her true appearance.

Today, she raised her head coldly, standing there with unparalleled grace and temperament. She looked even more beautiful than the first beauty, Shangguan Yuqing.

Could this be a hidden gem?

No, it couldn't be. This was just that foolish and useless person. The calm and wisdom she was displaying now was just a momentary thing. Soon enough, she would revert to her previous incompetent self, and he couldn't be bothered to even look at her.

At this moment, Shangguan Yuqing, who had thought things through, was about to stop Mu Yandan, but Mu Yandan had already nodded viciously, "Fine, let's bet. If you have the Palace Sand in your hand, I will immediately go drink dirty water. Otherwise, if you don't, you know what will happen to you!"

She was confident, as she had just had Ivy personally check her arm and was absolutely certain that she didn't have the Palace Sand. Ivy's entire family was in her hands, so it was impossible for her to deceive her.

Liu Yue snorted inwardly. Mu Yandan was even more foolish than she had imagined. This was the real fool, falling for the trap like this.

When Mu Yandan lost and was forced to drink dirty water in front of the prince she admired, it would be quite satisfying. However, because her Palace Sand was fake, she couldn't afford to be careless.

Thinking of this, she slowly raised her arm, "Originally, some people are not worthy of seeing my arm, but for the sake of my innocence, I will allow you to be presumptuous today! I will let you see!"

Although she said this, she didn't actually roll up her sleeves.

The onlookers all crowded around at the same time, and when they saw that she didn't roll up her sleeves, they all sneered, "She doesn't dare to, pretending to be a big shot. Useless, stop pretending."

It was obvious that she was feeling guilty and dared not reveal the truth. The evidence of her adultery was on her, and she dared to pretend to be innocent, only trying to delay the time in the pig cage.

"Impudent!" Suddenly, Liu Yue shouted in a deep voice, her eyes filled with a cold light. After speaking, she rolled up her sleeves in front of everyone, revealing her arms whiter than snow.

"This..." When the crowd saw her right arm, they hesitated for a moment, and some were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out.

The prince, upon seeing this, glared fiercely with eyes like venomous snakes, feeling as if he had been punched in the chest, shocked to the point of almost spitting blood. How could this be?

Shangguan Yuqing, upon seeing this, let out a soft breath and her expression immediately turned serious. How could this be the result? Didn't Mu Yandan guarantee that Ivy had taken care of it?

She looked at the prince with some fear, worried that Ivy's failure would make the furious prince take it out on her!

Mu Yandan was first shocked and then her face began to stiffen, "No, it's impossible. How could you still have the Palace Sand in your hand? Ivy clearly saw that it was gone, she wouldn't lie. How did it reappear? Shangguan Liu Yue, how did the Palace Sand reappear? I don't believe it, it must be fake, right?"

"Ivy?" Liu Yue narrowed her eyes coldly as if she had discovered the truth, "Everyone heard it just now. What she said meant that Ivy knew about this in advance. In other words, this was prearranged by them. No wonder they arrived so timely. As the daughter of the great general, if she were to have an affair, she wouldn't choose a person with a face full of pockmarks. They deliberately found an ugly person to disgust me, to humiliate me, ruin my reputation, and make others think that I am a wanton woman who doesn't even spare pockmarks. Are they insulting the great general or insulting His Highness the Prince?"

Now, the onlookers who didn't know the inside story seemed to understand. It turned out that Mu Yandan and Ivy had colluded with Wang Ermao to frame Liu Yue. If it weren't for Liu Yue's calm and intelligence, she would have been thrown into the pig cage long ago.

Some neutral people, after seeing the Palace Sand, chose to believe Liu Yue. After all, they didn't dislike her, but were forced to submit to Mu Yandan's intimidation. Now that Mu Yandan's deception had been exposed, they were eager to see her comeuppance.

They never would have thought that the mastermind behind this was the Prince. If they knew that the prince they admired was such a ruthless and cruel man, they probably wouldn't admire him anymore, let alone be willing to serve him.

Now, some people began to look at Mu Yandan with strange expressions, some began to doubt her, and others quickly distanced themselves from her, afraid of being victimized by her in the future.

Upon hearing Liu Yue's words and seeing her cold eyes, the prince's face suddenly turned dark. If this matter were to be further exposed, he was afraid it would implicate him, and his hard-earned image would be ruined in an instant.

It was all because of Shangguan Liu Yue, so sharp-tongued. If he had known, he would have just sent someone to kill her directly, without the need for all this trouble.

Upon hearing Liu Yue's words, Mu Yandan quickly shook her head, and cold sweat began to form on her forehead, "It's impossible, I don't believe it. Ivy clearly saw it with her own eyes, and you clearly have an affair with Wang Ermao. The Palace Sand must be fake. I don't believe that a fool like you could produce it. No, I must personally check. Let me see, I want to wash it with water."

Mu Yandan was about to rush forward to pull up her sleeves, but Liu Yue coldly stepped back. Her palace sand was fake, and the rouge was not reliable. It would easily come off with a light touch, not to mention washing with water.

Thinking of this, she immediately came up with an idea: "Stop right there. I haven't deceived anyone. The evidence is in my hands. You should consider whether someone has betrayed and deceived you, rather than blindly suspecting me."

Hearing Liu Yue's words, Mu Yandan looked at Lu Lu with suspicion. Lu Lu's face turned pale at the sight. Did the young lady really suspect her?

Seeing Lu Lu's pale face, Mu Yandan became even more suspicious. She relaxed her guard against Liu Yue and temporarily ignored her arm, instead glaring at Lu Lu.

Seeing Mu Yandan's foolishness, Liu Yue decided to add fuel to the fire and take advantage of the ruthless Crown Prince.

She looked at Crown Prince Chu Yi with a mocking cold snort. Chu Yi immediately glared at her darkly, "Are you mocking this palace?"

Liu Yue disdainfully glanced at him, looking down on him and shook her sleeve with contempt, "It's not that I look down on the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince lacks courage. Someone maliciously harassed your fiancée, colluded with maids and servants to ruin my reputation, and you show no attitude! Even with clear evidence of your fiancée being falsely accused, you dare not punish them. To be honest, this is not the demeanor of a Crown Prince. As a man, you lack any sense of justice and fail to protect your fiancée. I have shown them the evidence, and they still dare to act arrogantly. As her fiancé, if you can't give me justice, then I will take matters into my own hands. I will bring them before my father and charge them with false accusations."
