Chapter 223 So stupid
Murong Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Chu Lingfeng deeply, as if she was thinking about the truthfulness of his words.
The night was as dark as ink. Chu Lingfeng leaned against the bed, his face pale but his eyes firm.
Sun Ying clenched her hands, her face full of guilt and worry, and stood aside, refusing to move a step.
Murong Ling'er's beautiful eyes moved, revealing a hint of anxiety and doubt. She said to Chu Lingfeng, "Mr. Chu, today's events are too strange. What is the hidden truth behind this? Please tell me."
Chu Lingfeng was about to speak when he suddenly coughed a few times. Seeing this, Sun Ying hurried forward to support him, but was gently pushed away by Chu Lingfeng.
Chu Lingfeng looked at Chu San. Chu San understood and stepped forward to bow to Sun Ying and said, "Miss Sun, I'm sorry." After that, he took Sun Ying away regardless of her struggle.
At this time, only Chu Lingfeng, Murong Ling'er, Old Master Li and Huo Shuixian were left.
Huo Shuixian's eyes were full of confusion and anxiety. She didn't understand why Murong Ling'er kept her here. Wasn't she afraid of her?
Murong Ling'er moved lightly, approached Chu Lingfeng, and said softly, "Mr. Chu, feel free to say whatever you want to say."
Chu Lingfeng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Miss Murong, you should remember what I said before. The jade pendants originally came in pairs. One is with me, and the other is in the hands of the eldest daughter of the Protectorate General's Mansion who is now living outside. Now all signs indicate that Sun Ying is very likely that daughter. She has the other jade pendant, and the style of this jade pendant is exactly the same as mine, and the patterns on it are unique to the Protectorate General's Mansion."
Murong Ling'er frowned slightly and asked, "Is this true? Master Chu, please don't make the mistake."
Chu Lingfeng's eyes were firm as he said, "Of course I wouldn't be wrong. The jade pendant is now in Chu Er's hands. I've sent him to examine it carefully and make sure to confirm Sun Ying's identity."
Huo Shuixian listened with trepidation, wondering to herself: Why has Chu Lingfeng been searching for us? What is his motive? And who is the true daughter of the General's Mansion, herself or Sun Ying? What secrets are hidden behind this jade pendant?
Murong Ling'er was also full of doubts. She was now certain that she was the daughter of the general's mansion, but between Sun Ying and Huo Shuixian, who was her real sister?
She recalled the solemn expression on Huo Jianjie's face when he told her about her life story during the day, and her heart was in a mess.
Murong Ling'er's gaze was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight towards Huo Shuixian's feet, and the inquiring intent in her eyes was obvious.
When Huo Shuixian noticed the burning gaze, her heart trembled violently, and she subconsciously turned her gaze to her feet.
At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through her mind, illuminating the fog that had been lingering in her heart.
Huo Shuixian's eyes widened instantly, as if she was possessed by a demon. She jumped up from the ground without any warning. Her movements were as fast as a ghost, and she rushed towards Sun Ying with a determined and crazy force.
At this moment, Sun Ying's heels had not yet stabilized, and she felt a black shadow rushing in front of her, and she was knocked to the ground by a huge force.
"what--"
Sun Ying's screams broke the silence around her, and her body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Before she could react, Huo Shuixian's hands reached out to her shoes and socks like a hungry wolf, and pulled them off in a few seconds.
Huo Shuixian held Sun Ying's feet tightly, staring at that piece of skin, as if she wanted to find some rare treasure from it.
When she confirmed that there was no peach blossom mark on the sole of Sun Ying's foot that was exactly the same as hers, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile of contempt, which was a kind of pride and relief that welled up from the bottom of her heart.
"Hmph!" Huo Shuixian snorted coldly and swung Sun Ying's foot aside fiercely, as if it was something dirty. She stood up without saying a word, patted the dust off her body, and ran in the direction she came from without looking back.
Sun Ying sat on the ground with a dazed look on her face, her eyes filled with fear and confusion. She didn't understand why this seemingly weak woman would suddenly do such a crazy thing to her.
Chu San stood aside, his face full of confusion. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he secretly wondered the reason behind Huo Shuixian's strange behavior.
Huo Shuixian trotted back to Chu Lingfeng and looked at him lying weakly on the ground. There was no trace of pity in her eyes. Instead, she cursed him viciously: "How stupid!" The voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the air.
After she finished speaking, she walked straight to Huo Jianjie's side, slowly squatted down, and her eyes unconsciously became red.
Chu Lingfeng was stunned by the sudden insult. He stared blankly at Huo Shuixian's back, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment. He had no idea why he was being scolded like this.
Murong Ling'er stood aside and took it all in.
She pursed her lips slightly, and she already knew in her heart that Sun Ying was a fake.
But then, her brows furrowed again, and she thought to herself: Although the person is fake, the jade pendant is real. What kind of secret is hidden in it?
At the same time, in the distant Anpu Town, Lin Yu was rushing towards this side at full speed. His face was full of fatigue, but his eyes revealed excitement and pride.
After a difficult investigation, he finally found out the owner of the pawnshop where Mrs. Deng had pawned the jade pendant, and followed the clues to find Sun Ying's wet nurse at the time. He knew that this information was of vital importance to the prince, so he did not dare to stop for a moment.
Recalling the scene of saving Sun Ying, Lin Yu smiled bitterly. At that time, Sun Ying inadvertently mentioned that the jade pendant was something she had worn since childhood, so he kept it in mind.
From then on, they protected Sun Ying either openly or secretly, and Sun Ying seemed to have realized the importance of the jade pendant, and became more and more secretive, refusing to reveal any truth.
Just like that, due to a series of coincidences, the misunderstanding grew like a snowball.
On this side, Sun Ying was still immersed in the shock just now. She had never expected that her lie would be exposed so quickly.
Her body ached slightly, not only from the injuries she had just sustained when she was knocked to the ground, but also from the uneasiness and fear in her heart.
Thinking that Chu Lingfeng had saved her, causing Murong Linger's father to be stabbed by the bandit leader, and now his life or death was uncertain, and Chu Lingfeng's attitude towards her just now was so cold, she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart.
If Murong Ling'er were to pursue the matter, based on Chu Lingfeng's current behavior, he probably wouldn't protect himself like before.
A helpless smile appeared on Sun Ying's face, and her eyes gradually became firm.
Now that things have come to this, she has no way out and can only put aside all her dignity and face and ask Chu Lingfeng for help.
Perhaps, he is the only one who can give him a sense of security in this chaotic situation.
After Chu Lingfeng confessed the matter to Murong Ling'er, he felt a long-lost sense of relief in his heart.
He didn't want to seek Murong Ling'er's forgiveness, he just simply didn't want her to misunderstand his relationship with Sun Ying.
However, after hearing this, Murong Ling'er still had no expression on her face, and her attitude towards him did not improve at all, which made Chu Lingfeng feel a little disappointed.
He looked at Murong Ling'er's cold back, sighed deeply, and thought to himself: When will all these misunderstandings be resolved?
