Chapter 11: The Truth Revealed
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
The once innocent and carefree girl had now grown into a composed and capable physician.
Shen Qingyi received a letter from the palace, inviting her to the annual Court Banquet.
After a moment's contemplation, she agreed to attend.
The Court Banquet was resplendent, filled with the fragrance of fine clothing and the bustle of elegant figures.
Dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, Shen Qingyi stood out in the crowd, exuding an air of grace and refinement.
As she walked gracefully forward, every gesture showcased her noble demeanor.
People turned their heads and whispered among themselves.
"Is this the renowned Physician Shen?"
"Truly deserving of her reputation; her presence is extraordinary."
Shen Qingyi paid no heed to the murmurs around her and walked directly to Gu Hongru, respectfully bowing before him.
"Uncle Gu."
Gu Hongru looked at her with affection, his eyes filled with pride.
"Shen Qingyi, you have arrived."
He turned to the officials nearby and introduced her, saying, "This is Shen Qingyi, a master of medicine with remarkable skills."
The officials stepped forward, showering her with compliments.
Shen Qingyi responded humbly, yet within her heart, she remained unperturbed.
She looked around but did not see Gu Yun Ci's figure.
"Has he not come?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Shen Qingyi's mind.
At that moment, Su Wanrou approached gracefully, her splendid gown making her appear even more radiant.
She walked up to Gu Hongru and performed a delicate curtsy.
"Lord Gu."
Gu Hongru nodded slightly, his gaze revealing a hint of coldness.
Su Wanrou seemed oblivious to Gu Hongru's demeanor as she directly approached Shen Qingyi, a hypocritical smile on her face.
"Doctor Shen, long time no see."
Shen Qingyi looked at her coldly, remaining silent.
A flicker of resentment crossed Su Wanrou's eyes, quickly masked by her facade.
"Doctor Shen, you are now quite the celebrated figure in the capital; it's truly enviable."
Shen Qingyi offered a faint smile. "Miss Su, you flatter me."
Su Wanrou wanted to say more but was interrupted by Gu Hongru.
"Wanrou, your outfit today is particularly well thought out."
Su Wanrou's expression changed slightly before she forced a smile. "Today is the Court Banquet; naturally, one must dress well."
Gu Hongru gave her a meaningful glance. "Is that so?"
Su Wanrou felt a chill in her heart but forced herself to nod in response.
Gu Hongru ignored her and turned to Shen Qingyi, saying, "Shen Qingyi, come with me."
Shen Qingyi followed Gu Hongru to a secluded corner.
"Shen Qingyi, today I am going to publicly expose Su Wanrou's true colors."
Shen Qingyi's heart trembled. "Uncle Gu, you..."
Gu Hongru patted her shoulder. "Child, you've suffered so much injustice; it's time for you to seek justice."
He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Qingyi.
"This is the result of my private investigation into Su Wanrou after you left. It clearly documents how she framed you."
Shen Qingyi took the letter, trembling as she opened it and read each word carefully.
The contents of the letter struck her like a bolt from the blue.
It turned out that this was all part of Su Wanrou's scheme!
She had meticulously designed a misunderstanding between Shen Qingyi and Gu Yun Ci, ultimately leading to Shen Qingyi being rejected by the Gu family.
And Gu Yun Ci had also been deceived by Su Wanrou, treating her coldly and even driving her out of the house.
"How could this happen..."
Shen Qingyi murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Gu Hongru looked at her with compassion. "Shen Qingyi, don't be sad; everything will pass."
He supported Shen Qingyi and led her to the center of the grand hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I am going to reveal a shocking secret!"
His voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the grand hall.
The crowd fell silent, curiosity etched on their faces as they turned to look at him.
Gu Hongru announced the results of the investigation into Su Wanrou.
The revelations sent a wave of gasps through the assembly.
Su Wanrou's face turned pale in an instant; she never expected Gu Hongru to uncover the truth and make it public.
Gu Yun Ci stared at Su Wanrou in disbelief, unable to comprehend how he had been deceived by her for so long.
The officials in the hall were filled with righteous indignation, collectively condemning Su Wanrou's misdeeds.
With her conspiracy exposed, Su Wanrou faced ruin and disgrace.
Shen Qingyi's grievances were finally avenged, and her reputation soared.
Though the truth was revealed, everything had changed irreparably.
