Chapter 8: Bet Results

She had experienced the cruelty of Shangguan Yuqing before, and she was most afraid of Shangguan Yuqing. Shangguan Yuqing had the most embarrassing handle on her.

If she offended Shangguan Yuqing, and her secrets were exposed, she would have no place to bury herself.

At this moment, she saw Liu Yue coldly walking towards Lvluo again, "You also confessed for the sake of your family. As long as you tell me who the real mastermind is, I can let you go. My father is a grand general, with a higher position than the Minister of Justice. It's not difficult to protect your family. I want you to tell me who the mastermind behind this is, and I want her to receive the punishment she deserves."

It's best to taste the feeling of being framed and losing one's chastity.

Seeing Liu Yue using this tactic again, Mu Yandan's throat tightened. She was afraid that Lvluo would betray her. With a sudden movement, she rushed forward and slapped Lvluo heavily, "You despicable person, so it was you who did this! You, this little wretch, dared to do such things behind my back, ruining my reputation. Watch me tear you apart today."

As she spoke, she continued to slap Lvluo several times.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Mu Yandan sternly ordered the people outside, "Guards, take this despicable person who committed the crime behind her master out and execute her!"

Indeed, being the daughter of the Minister of Justice, she had some power. As soon as she gave the order, two fierce old maids rushed in and dragged Lvluo out.

"Hold on!" Liu Yue didn't give them the chance to destroy the witness. She stepped forward and raised her eyebrows forcefully, "You are being audacious. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here. How dare you abuse your power like this? Do you still have any respect for the law?"

With these words, the two old maids were immediately intimidated. Their fat and wrinkled faces looked very ugly.

As Lvluo was being dragged out, Chu Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly. The thick blood in his chest was about to overflow. He wanted to end this matter quickly, but to his surprise, Liu Yue kept pressing him, forcing him to stare at her fiercely.

If he allowed them to take Lvluo away at this moment, it would show that he was protecting the mastermind behind the scenes, indicating his guilt. He had no choice but to glare at the two old maids and say in a fierce tone, "How dare you act recklessly in front of me! Back off!"

With his stern voice, the two old maids were scared and quickly rolled out.

At this point, Lvluo had already realized the seriousness of the situation. Liu Yue was no longer the weakling she used to be. This time, they couldn't escape no matter how hard they tried.

Feeling extremely resentful, Lvluo looked at Mu Yandan with a pleading and determined look in her eyes. In an instant, she made up her mind, closed her eyes, and bit her tongue hard.

There was a muffled groan, and a large amount of blood flowed from Lvluo's mouth. She fell heavily to the ground, with half of her tongue covered in blood slipping out of her mouth, shocking the onlookers.

"She's dead, Lvluo committed suicide by biting her tongue!"

"Is she afraid of punishment or is she taking the blame for someone else? It's quite pitiful. Being a servant is a lowly existence."

"Even in death, she's staring with wide eyes, unable to rest in peace. She must have been threatened by someone to take the blame. But she was malicious first, so it's only fair that she ended up like this."

Many people in the crowd already despised Mu Yandan's behavior, and now that she had fallen into trouble, they couldn't wait to trample on her and spit on her.

Chu Yifeng gave a disdainful glance at the body on the ground. Finally, the servant knew how to make a choice. He breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Liu Yue would turn her attention to Mu Yandan and implicate him as well.

Seeing that Lvluo and Wang Er, the servant, were dead, Mu Yandan finally relaxed. She quickly apologized to the Crown Prince, ready to step down, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I failed to discipline the servants properly, which led to today's incident."

Chu Yifeng's face darkened as he spoke, "You're lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

After speaking, he gave a cold look at Liu Yue.

Muyan Dan should have apologized to Liuyue, but she falsely accused Liuyue. However, she has always looked down on Liuyue, so why would she do such a thing? With a resentful glare, she turned her head and snorted without saying a word.

She seemed quite proud, like a defeated but still arrogant rooster.

Liuyue sneered, how could she let Muyan Dan off the hook? "Who was it that made a bet with me just now? The loser had to drink dirty water from the gutter?"

Others also remembered, especially those who disliked Muyan Dan, and immediately started to heckle: "That's right, Muyan Dan, you lost the bet, and Liuyue has the Shou Gong sand. You have to drink the dirty water. I'll have someone fetch it for you right away."

"You!" Muyan Dan was furious, her face turning ashen. They actually took the bet seriously and wanted her to drink the dirty and smelly water in front of the prince. How would the prince see her?

"The water from the gutter is here, Miss Muyan. You made the bet, so drink up." The speaker was a girl named Su Mo'er, who had just arrived. She was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue and had never bullied Liuyue. She had even defended Liuyue before. She had always looked down on Muyan Dan and her group and never associated with them.

She was the one who had ordered the dirty water to be fetched, and it seemed she was eager to see Muyan Dan embarrassed. After speaking, she showed a kind smile to Liuyue, who responded with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
