Chapter 444: Don’t Bully Nerd, Nerd Can Go Mad Too!
"Yu Chunhua, take a good look!"
Qing Feng wasn’t idle either; he had one remaining Face-Changing Talisman and used it on Zhou Qifeng.
Sure enough, Zhou Qifeng’s build was already quite similar to Ye Siheng’s, and with the Face-Changing Talisman, if it weren’t for their different attire, it would be impossible to tell who was the real one.
"Is this the Black Armor Guard who was accompanying you that day?" Yu Chunhua asked. "Or perhaps, after being with me, the Prince was afraid of being exposed and arranged for this man to take responsibility? This is the Prince’s man, and it’s perfectly normal for him to take the blame. Prince, you don’t even acknowledge your own flesh and blood, and you slander him as someone else’s illegitimate child. Where is your conscience?"
What nonsense about whether or not he had maintained his virginity or if the person was a stand-in, she didn’t believe any of it!
If playing the victim didn’t work, she’d have to get tough. After all, she was determined to enter the Prince Yu Mansion!
But Ye Siheng remained unhurried, calmly asking, "Yu Chunhua, can you prove that the person you were with was definitely me?"
Yu Chunhua smiled, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and looked extremely confident.
She had come to the capital and stirred up this trouble, so she was naturally fully prepared.
"Prince, you have a red birthmark on the inside of your arm. If we hadn’t been spent the night together, how would I know?" She raised her chin, speaking with conviction.
Everyone suddenly looked at Ye Siheng.
So, Yu Chunhua had this trump card; no wonder she remained so calm.
But they didn’t dare ask Ye Siheng to roll up his sleeve and prove his innocence; after all, they valued their lives.
However, Zhou Qifeng suddenly shouted, "It’s me! I have that birthmark!"
He quickly rolled up his sleeve, revealing his muscular arm, and with a slight turn, the red birthmark on the inside was visible.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Yu Chunhua’s expression changed slightly, and the birthmark didn’t look fake...
But she still resisted, "Haha, this Face-Changing Talisman of the Princess is truly impressive, even down to the identical birthmark."
Nanli smiled, "My Face-Changing Talisman isn’t that powerful."
She raised her hand, activated a talisman, and dispelled the Face-Changing Talisman on Zhou Qifeng.
He returned to his original appearance, but the birthmark remained.
"No... It was the Prince who spent the night with me, not you!" Yu Chunhua shook her head repeatedly, then glared angrily at Ye Siheng. "Prince, how can you be so heartless? Are you trying to force us to our deaths?"
How could this be?
How could the father of her child be a stand-in, a fake prince!
But Ye Siheng said:
"Wasn’t it you who wanted the child to recognize his father? You say I’m heartless, but you are the one with the evil intent!"
"You were on your way to get married, yet you still engaged in illicit relations with another man. You’re shamelessly trying to cling to power, only to find that the person was a fake. Your plan has failed."
"Or perhaps, you not only wanted power, but when you saw this fake prince, you deliberately seduced him for today. You wanted to drive a wedge between A’Li and me; this was a deliberate act of revenge, aiming to ruin my happiness and harmony with my wife."
Fortunately, A’Li had a pair of perceptive eyes and trusted him from start to finish!
If they had argued even once today because of this, not only would he have fed Yu Chunhua to the dogs, but the entire Yu family would not have been spared!
Yu Chunhua’s various schemes were seen through by Ye Siheng, as if all her clothes had been stripped away and she was being exposed in front of everyone.
Her body swayed, her head spinning from the mocking faces around her.
She wanted to flee, but the crowd was too thick, and she couldn’t find a way out.
In her desperation, she spotted Wang Dazhi.
"Cousin..." Her voice choked, tears streaming down her face.
She knew that once she cried, Wang Dazhi would stand in front of her and protect her.
Wang Dazhi had been silent until now.
He was still in shock, and only after hearing Yu Chunhua’s cry did he woodenly turn his head.
A few days ago, Yu Chunhua had left a letter expressing her sorrow, claiming that Ye Siheng had used her and then abandoned her, leaving her with no choice but to feel ashamed and unworthy of him, urging him to divorce her and remarry.
He had always admired his cousin and pitied her unfortunate circumstances, so he had come to the Prince Yu Mansion to stir up trouble, hoping that Ye Siheng would be forced to take responsibility, bring his cousin into the mansion, and give her a title and a stable life.
But now he realized that his cousin had been the one to take the initiative! She had ulterior motives!
He had disregarded his and his family’s reputation, only to end up with such a result?
As a man, how could Wang Dazhi endure this!
"Cousin, don’t worry, I’m here." Wang Dazhi still appeared honest and thick-headed, which made Yu Chunhua lower her guard and quickly move towards him.
"Hey, why are you still..."
Xie Beihan wanted to advise Wang Dazhi not to make a fool of himself, but before he could finish, Wang Dazhi suddenly went mad.
He first threw Yu Chunhua to the ground, then slapped her several times, and even punched her stomach a few times.
"You wretched woman! I’ve been devoted to you, even giving up my dignity as a man, and this is how you repay me!"
Wang Dazhi cried as he beat her, cursing her as a wretch.
The change was so sudden that hardly anyone reacted in time.
Yu Chunhua had been cursing, but the pain in her face and stomach made her cry out and beg for mercy.
Zhou Qifeng finally reacted and rushed to pull Wang Dazhi away.
After all, she was carrying his child; he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
But Yu Chunhua’s dress was already soaked with blood, and the pain was so intense that she was nearly passing out.
"Prince..." She still clung to her last shred of hope.
Zhou Qifeng said, "I already told you it was me that night. Stop dreaming."
Yu Chunhua barely saw his face clearly, gasped, and then fainted.
Zhou Qifeng felt anxious and couldn’t help but look to Nanli for help.
He knew the Princess was skilled in medicine.
But Ye Siheng stepped in front of Nanli, blocking her, "A’Li and I aren’t saints. If you want to save her and her child, go find another doctor."
Nanli poked her head out, blinking, "The child can’t be saved, but Yu Chunhua can still be treated."
"..." Zhou Qifeng hesitated.
Ye Siheng sneered inwardly at his hesitation.
One was spineless and irresponsible, and the other was greedy and manipulative--a perfect match.
"Send Yu Chunhua back to the general’s residence, find a doctor, and make sure she survives," Ye Siheng ordered Qing Feng. "Since she and Wang Dazhi have not consummated their marriage, the marriage is void. She and Zhou Qifeng are a match made in heaven. Go register their marriage at the government office and get their marriage certificate."
Qing Feng accepted the order.
He couldn’t even feel schadenfreude anymore; the Prince was too ruthless, pairing them together, and Qing Feng himself would certainly be severely punished for his own mistakes.
The Black Armor Guards carried Yu Chunhua away.
Zhou Qifeng was still standing there in a daze.
One of the Black Armor Guards gave him a push, "Why aren’t you following? Your newlywed wife needs your care."
Zhou Qifeng now wished he could draw his sword and end it all.
But with the sword at his waist, he couldn’t muster the courage to draw it.
After Qing Feng led the two away, the onlookers gradually dispersed as well.
But Wang Dazhi remained sitting on the ground, alternately crying and laughing, like a madman.
