Now she felt a deep sense of regret. If she had known that she would wake up and find herself trapped in this book, she would have memorized every word!
Song Feiwan! You lie without even a moment's thought! A furious shout snapped Song Feiwan out of her reverie.
She lifted her gaze to meet the eyes of Xiao Yan, whose face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
Who doesn’t know that Prince Chen is indifferent to women? How could he possibly swear eternal loyalty to you? It’s tragic that Prince Chen sacrificed himself for the country, only to have his reputation tarnished by you. Today, I shall kill you to appease his spirit in the heavens!
As he spoke, he drew his sword with a swift motion, the sharp blade glinting menacingly at Song Feiwan.
Xiao Yan was nearly beside himself with rage.
Song Feiwan was clearly infatuated with him, yet she lied and claimed to have feelings for Xiao Yu, placing herself in such a ridiculous position! And what about the guests around them? They praised Xiao Yu endlessly, as if this prince were nothing but a fool!
Xiao Yu had been dead for over two years, yet they still clung to his memory—how infuriating!
When Song Feiwan decided to use Xiao Yu's name to turn her situation around, she had anticipated Xiao Yan's reaction.
Prepared for this moment, she feigned a look of panic and cried out, "Lord Rong, save me!"
Rong Huan acted decisively, dispatching guards from his estate to protect Song Feiwan.
Xiao Yan glared at him. "Lord Rong, do you also believe her one-sided tale?"
The Rong family was aligned with Prince Chen; no matter how polite Rong Huan appeared towards Xiao Yan, it couldn’t change the fact that they were sworn enemies.
He walked steadily to Song Feiwan's side and said calmly, "This concerns His Highness Prince Chen; we must be cautious."
Song Feiwan breathed a quiet sigh of relief, realizing she had made the right gamble.
Xiao Yu's death was the most sensitive wound for the Rong family. Therefore, even if there was only the slightest chance that she was truly Xiao Yu's beloved, the Rong family would not stand by idly.
Her act of throwing herself into the lake for Xiao Yu was entirely reasonable.
Xiao Yan was the crown prince; she was merely the daughter of a minor official—she could hardly contend with imperial power.
Thus, she could only seek an ally strong enough to protect her safety. The prosperous and influential Rong family was her best choice.
Indeed, no matter how arrogant Xiao Yan was, he dared not confront the Prime Minister in front of everyone. His anger was boiling, and his hand gripping the sword trembled uncontrollably.
"Rong Xiang, do not be deceived by this woman! She clearly admires me. If she cannot force me into marriage, she will bite back! To deal with me, she has even involved your Rong family!"
Rong Huan remained silent, his dark and profound gaze fixed on Song Feiwan.
Song Feiwan's face was pale as she choked out, "Your Highness the Crown Prince claims that I admire you—do you have any evidence?"
Xiao Yan was taken aback. How could he possibly leave evidence when he approached Song Feiwan with ulterior motives?
Song Feiwan was certain of this point, which allowed her to confidently assert her feelings for Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu were to die, as long as she crafted her lies seamlessly, they would become the truth!
She stared at Xiao Yan, a flicker of furious fire igniting in her eyes.
"That is precisely what there is none of!" she said sharply. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, may I ask who among us is full of lies and tarnishing another's reputation? I believe I have no grievances with you; why do you wish to harm me so?"
Xiao Yan was stunned by Song Feiwan's distortion of the truth, pointing at her but unable to utter a single word.
It was Song Shuyou who reacted first, suppressing her rage as she countered, "And what about you? You claim that you and His Highness the King of Chen have exchanged vows for life—do you have any evidence?"
