As Chu Qing finished speaking, Wei Zhi had already raised his hand and removed the human-skin mask used for disguise on his face.
The mask, as thin as a cicada's wing, fluttered lightly to the ground.
And the souls of Xu Xin and Qiangwei seemed to flutter away without a trace as well.
They originally thought that it had always been Lvluo and Liuxin who had been following Chu Qing.
Who would have thought... this Liuxin was actually an impostor, and this impostor was actually a trusted subordinate personally arranged by the prince!
Looking at the strange and cold face, Xu Xin felt like crying but had no tears.
However, she still wanted to struggle desperately, so she carefully said, "She... she might have been bought off by the princess!"
Xu Xin's eye sockets were now red, but it was no longer the pitiful look of crying. Instead, they were filled with jealousy and hatred.
Wei Ying, who had originally wanted to remain silent, frowned unhappily when he heard that Xu Xin still refused to give up and said, "Are you saying that the person personally taught by this prince would be bought off?"
Xu Xin was now speechless. The plan she had discussed with her aunt was originally thought to be flawless, but unexpectedly, it was like punching at cotton.
She felt like a clown!
Chu Qing glanced at Xu Xin and said coldly, "This princess didn't expect that Concubine Xu is so good at shifting the blame."
Xu Xin lowered her head to hide her slightly ferocious expression. She had to calm down, she must calm down! Only by calming down could she come up with a countermeasure!
"Wei Zhi, tell this prince the whole story." Wei Ying's face had now become extremely gloomy.
Wei Zhi looked up at Chu Qing. Seeing that she looked calm, he told everything he had seen in detail.
When Chu Qing heard Wei Zhi mention that she returned like for like, her expression fluctuated slightly.
Because she didn't know if Wei Ying would think that she was no different from Xu Xin.
After all, neither of them was a kind person.
...
After listening to Wei Zhi's account of the whole story, Wei Ying's face showed no emotion at all.
Only he himself knew that his anger was boiling inside.
Wei Zhi was a secret guard and a death warrior personally trained by him. She had a cold personality and would surely not be inclined towards Chu Qing just because she went out with her once. So, what she said must be the truth.
If he had really been as muddle - headed as Chu Qing said, he might really have been led by the nose by Xu Xin.
Just thinking that if he hadn't sent Wei Zhi to follow Chu Qing on a whim, she might have fallen into Xu Xin's trap this time.
Chu Qing... might really have been...
Thinking of this, the killing intent on Wei Ying suddenly erupted. He looked at Xu Xin, who was kneeling on the ground speechless, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Xu Xin naturally could feel the sudden killing intent from Wei Ying. She was filled with unwillingness but was helpless.
She didn't expect that Chu Qing had known everything early on! Moreover... she had used the same means to deal with her! She had thought the plan was flawless and could completely ruin Chu Qing!
However, she was wrong. The prince's heart had never been with her. No matter how many means she used and how much effort she put in, she had lost from the very beginning!
She and Chu Qing were not even on a fair starting line!
But... why!
Why could that bitch Chu Qing win his heart? Where was she better than herself?
In terms of family background, Chu Qing's family only had a little money! They were all ordinary people! How could they compare to her, the legitimate daughter of the prestigious Minister's Mansion!
In terms of appearance, Chu Qing was born with a coquettish look! Where did she look like a princess!
She was so unwilling! She hated so much!
"Xu Xin, this prince will not divorce you for the time being." Wei Ying took a deep breath and swept away the gloom in his eyes.
Xu Xin, who had been filled with resentment, suddenly looked up in horror when she heard Wei Ying's words. He actually wanted to divorce her!!!
"Your Highness! Xin'er knows she's wrong! Please don't divorce Xin'er!" At this moment, Xu Xin's eyes were red from crying. No matter what, she couldn't let him divorce her, otherwise, she would lose everything!
Wei Ying coldly glanced at Xu Xin and ordered Wei Ju without any warmth in his voice, "Send the concubine back to her courtyard. Without this prince's order, she is not allowed to step out at will. Except for this prince and the princess, no one is allowed to go to the concubine's courtyard without permission."
He was going to restrict her freedom!
After receiving the order, Wei Ju led people and was about to drag Xu Xin away forcibly.
Xu Xin was still crying and shouting that Xin'er was wrong.
Wei Ying curled his lips, but his voice was as cold as winter: "After all, the wife of the Duke has already made arrangements for you, right? This prince really can't divorce you now. You might as well go back and reflect on yourself."
Hearing this, Xu Xin's body stiffened. Then, she couldn't help but sneer coldly in her heart. Yes, her aunt had already made arrangements for her. No one would believe Chu Qing, and the prince couldn't divorce her for no reason! After all... if he divorced her without a reason, her father would never let it go!
Thinking of this, Xu Xin stopped talking and let those sycophantic servants take her back to the courtyard.
However, hatred had already taken root in her heart.
Chu Qing, she, Xu Xin, would never let her go!
...
After watching Xu Xin leave, Chu Qing slowly said to Wei Ying:
"Sorry."
Wei Ying was a little surprised and then asked, "Why are you saying sorry?"
"Um... after all... I also used some means, right? Actually, it didn't have to be like this originally, but..." I still used the way of cuckolding you... Chu Qing thought she didn't need to say the second half of the sentence. Otherwise, Wei Ying might fly into a rage.
"You don't have to be like this." Wei Ying said seriously.
Then, he suddenly got closer to Chu Qing, his face looking unclear: "Actually... it should be this prince who says sorry. I failed to protect you well. Now, I still can't divorce her so soon. I can only wrong you for the time being."
As Wei Ying suddenly got closer, Chu Qing felt a little uncomfortable and moved back a bit. She said with an embarrassed smile, "It's okay. I know what you're considering. I won't let myself be wronged. It's just... don't you think I'm a vindictive person?"
All the experiences in her previous life told her that men never liked such ruthless and vindictive women.
What they liked were kind - hearted and weak women who could arouse their desire to protect.
But she, Chu Qing, in both her previous and current lives, could never forgive those who bullied her generously.
She always returned like for like, was vindictive, and might even be extremely ruthless.
Seeing Chu Qing looking solemn, Wei Ying couldn't help but smile. Then, he showed a meaningful smile:
"This prince himself is a vindictive person."
