There were some things that didn’t require the Grand Tutor’s actual presence. He only needed to make clear his position on the matter. That was enough to instill fear in others.

Su Lingsheng clamped her jaws and dared not utter a single sound. Lei Min was looking exceedingly grave while the Eldest Princess’ dour expression was frightening.

She had never imagined that Grand Tutor would once again stand up for Ji Fengyan.

It happened at Ji City. It happened again during the Thirteenth Prince’s birthday banquet. And now today… Grand Tutor had once again taken action…

Why?

The Eldest Princess glared at Ji Fengyan with hatred-filled eyes. She simply could not understand—why was this plain-looking young girl enjoying so much protection from the Grand Tutor? In contrast, Eldest Princess had chased after the Grand Tutor for so many years and still unable to extract even a kind word or two from him…

A fierce jealousy burned within the Eldest Princess’s chest. Nevertheless, she understood clearly that the urgent issue before her was Su Lingsheng, and not Ji Fengyan.

The Emperor would allow no conflict to exist between him and the Grand Tutor. Since the Grand Tutor had expressed his interest in this matter, the Emperor would no longer close one eye to the proceedings. If the Emperor received confirmation that the child carried by Su Lingsheng belonged to Lei Min—not only would Su Lingsheng and Lei Min be condemned to death—the Eldest Princess herself would be in deep trouble.

The Eldest Princess never imagined that she would end up entangled in her own carefully planned trap for Ji Fengyan.

They would all be finished if Su Lingsheng couldn’t withstand the pressure and blurted everything out.

In that moment, Eldest Princess made her decision.

She raised her head and adopted an imperious attitude. She gazed coldly at the wretched-looking Su Lingsheng.

“Su Lingsheng, you have truly let me down.”

Su Lingsheng was flabbergasted. “Eldest… Eldest Princess…”

“Don’t call me that. It only makes me feel disgusted,” the Eldest Princess said in a frosty tone.

Truly, Su Lingsheng was struck dumb.

Without allowing Su Lingsheng a chance to recover, the Eldest Princess turned to the Emperor. “Father, Su Lingsheng was indeed a female official serving me previously. However, looking at her promiscuous ways and her illicit dalliances with outsiders, how could your daughter tolerate such a person by her side, sullying the royal family’s name? Hence, your daughter had already kicked her out half a month ago.”

Eldest Princess’ vicious words caused Su Lingsheng’s face to turn a ghastly white. However, a hint of geniality appeared on the Emperor’s grim face.

“I see, so the child she is carrying is not Lei Min’s?”

“That’s right.” The Eldest Princess nodded before turning toward Lei Min.

“Lei Min.”

Lei Min was startled, a sense of foreboding suddenly rising in his heart.

“Eldest princess.”

The Eldest Princess suddenly reached up to draw out her dagger and threw it before Lei Min.

“I will give you one chance now to prove your innocence. I believe that nothing dishonorable had occurred between you and Su Lingsheng. However, you must prove it with your actions.” The Eldest Princess’ voice was like ice—instilling a chilly sense of dread like that dagger thrown on the floor.

Lei Min stared unmoving at that dagger, seeing his own face in its reflection.

As long as Su Lingsheng lived, this matter would never be completely resolved.

In a flash, Lei Min bent over to pick up the dagger. He walked toward the petrified Su Lingsheng.

He and Su Lingsheng were already a lost cause.

Before anyone could react, Lei Min suddenly thrust the dagger viciously into Su Lingsheng’s chest!
