When Luo Yunzhu saw that Feng Tianlan wasn’t shocked at all, she couldn’t help but ask, “Tianlan, have you been planning this all along?”
“There’s no evidence of what happened back then, so the best evidence is to get Tu Xiuyu to testify,” Feng Tianlan calmly replied. She had started planning this the moment she found out the truth behind her biological mother’s death.
Tu Xiang was an Advanced-stage Spiritual Grandmaster on the verge of becoming a Spiritual King, so it was impossible to fight him head on. She’d had to find a roundabout way of dealing with him.
“Tianlan, you’re my goddess—you’re amazing!” Luo Yunzhu couldn’t help but give Feng Tianlan a thumbs up. She’d thought that Tianlan was still holding onto the father-daughter relationship, so she’d always worried that their skill levels were unmatched. She didn’t want Tianlan to fight Tu Xiang. She hadn’t realized that Feng Tianlan had been plotting this payback in secret for a long time.
Feng Tianlan looked at Tu Xiang. She figured he must be going crazy and be on the verge of killing someone.
“HAHA! You gave Feng Tianlan a Spirit Breaking Potion so she couldn’t advance in level anymore. You even used her to threaten Feng Qingling so that he would destroy his cinnabar field then hide quietly in the mountains for a decade.”
“Tu Xiuyu.” Tu Xiang was losing control. He was ready to rush up to her.
“Why? Do you want to kill me too? I’m your daughter, and you want to kill me to cover up your evil deeds?” Tu Xiuyu’s red dress flapped in the wind as she looked down at Tu Xiang in the crowd. “That’s how you’ve already treated Feng Tianlan, so why would you be afraid to kill me? If you’ve got guts, come up here and kill me now!”
Tu Xiuyu continued laughing loudly as she looked toward where Feng Tianlan was standing. She knew that Feng Tianlan wouldn’t let her die until she had finished doing what she had promised. It didn’t matter, anyway, since she’d never intended to let anyone off. She was taking everyone down with her.
After hearing this, Tu Xiang could only clench his fists tightly. If he went up, his wrongdoing would only be confirmed.
Xu Jiayi quickly thought up another plan. She began crying and pleaded like a doting mother, “Yu’er, don’t do this. I know you’ve been very upset since losing your child and behaving very weirdly. But your father and I would never cast you aside because of that. You’re our child, after all.”
Their hypocrisy made Tu Xiuyu feel like puking. She remembered that they had forced her out of the house and pretended not to know anything when Si Rong sold her to the brothel.
They were her parents, but they were unbelievably heartless. Even killing her would have been less cruel than sending her to the brothel.
“Tu Xiang burned the original Feng Clan genealogy so that he could become an ancestor. He wants to take the family treasure from Feng Tianlan, a treasure that supposedly has the power to command Spiritual Emperors. He wants to overthrow the emperor and rule over the nations.
“I have evidence of all this! Here’s the new genealogy that Tu Xiang created, and here are all the letters proving that Tu Xiang is guilty of treason.
“Oh, and I nearly forgot, Xu Jiayi is a princess from the Beiqi Nation. Tu Xiupei is a child that she had out of wedlock with another man, and then she married Tu Xiang. HAHA! Their marriage is the most damning evidence of treason!”
An uproar went through the crowd as they all looked at Xu Jiayi. Nobody had expected her to be a princess from another nation. She had hidden her real identity and married Tu Xiang, who was part of an aristocratic family. She was basically a spy!
“Yu’er, stop this madness and come down quickly. The doctor said that if you take your medication regularly, you can still be saved.” Xu Jiayi fell to her knees with a loud thud and cried miserably, “I’m begging you, come down quickly, and I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Luo Yunzhu was shocked by this revelation and whispered to Feng Tianlan, “Is this for real? I thought she was just supposed to say that Tu Xiupei wasn’t Tu Xiang’s biological daughter.”
“It’s true. She’s a princess from Beiqi Nation,” Feng Tianlan replied calmly. This was what Feng Qingling had found out that day.
