Chapter 77 This is a difficult situation.
"Hmph!" Lu He snorted coldly, showing no panic at the guards who surrounded her. Bai Yu, on the other hand, took a defensive stance, standing protectively beside Lu He.
"Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore." Lu He sneered, looking at Nie Qing.
Could it be that she's preparing to reveal her identity? An Linqing pondered to herself. From her perspective, the person in front of her using her original face was the real Nie Qing, and she couldn't possibly have foreseen Lu He's existence.
An Linqing wasn't afraid at all about whether Nie Qing would reveal his identity. After all, the idea of face swapping was utter nonsense, and no one would believe it.
"I am Lu Banxian, a disciple of Qingyang Zhenren from Qinghui Temple!" Lu He began to make up a story.
(? x ?)？ This introduction left the female lead completely bewildered, wondering what she was talking about.
Then Lu He pointed at Nie Qing: "She is possessed by a demon!"
"Nonsense!" Nie Sheng could not tolerate this person of questionable identity slandering his daughter. "Men, throw her out!" Considering that he could not offend Princess Chengde and could not arrest her, he could only choose to drive her out.
"Has Minister Nie noticed any changes in Miss Liu's preferences lately? Or even that her personality seems to have completely changed?" Lu He asked confidently, fanning herself with her fan.
Nie Sheng hesitated for a moment. Indeed, as she said, Nie Qing seemed to have changed many of her habits after she went to Qianfu Temple to pray for blessings.
"Does she still have a peanut allergy?" Lu He asked. Nie Qing was originally allergic to peanuts, but An Linqing's body did not have an allergy.
"...Last time, Miss accidentally ate peanuts, but she was indeed fine..." a maid said cautiously. That day, she mistakenly delivered the snacks to the wrong room, accidentally putting the peanut brittle meant for Second Master Nie Zhiyuan into Sixth Miss's box. When she arrived, she saw that Nie Qing had already eaten three pieces of brittle.
She thought she was about to cause a major disaster and was anxious for several days, but found that the young lady was fine. Although she had doubts, she dared not mention the big mistake she had made.
"What's the problem? Since I'm praying for blessings, naturally the gods will come to cure my illness and ward off disasters. What's so strange about curing a peanut allergy?" Nie Qing smiled and easily resolved the issue by using Lu He's logic.
Everyone agreed that what he said made sense.
Lu He remained calm: "Then why did you lie and say you had amnesia?" Since An Linqing wanted to replace Nie Qing, he naturally had to pretend to have amnesia in order to excuse her mistakes.
Little did she know that the female lead was quite resourceful; An Linqing had already made arrangements for the amnesia.
“My little sister isn’t faking it. She lost her memory because she was injured while watching my third brother train…” Nie Zhiyuan explained before Nie Qing could even speak, “Everyone was there that day. My little sister was almost trampled to death by a horse, so… please don’t speak recklessly, Mr. Lu.”
Lu He pondered to herself, "Did this female lead really go to such lengths? She orchestrated her own perilous situation; being trampled by a horse is a serious accident, potentially fatal. She actually dared to gamble with her life. This is going to be difficult. Who would believe she feigned amnesia to put herself under a horse's hooves? If she said that, she'd probably be kicked out of the Nie family in no time."
This led to a stalemate, explaining Nie Qing's amnesia. The previous idea of exposing her identity to bring her down was clearly naive. Nie Sheng wouldn't believe that even if Lu He later revealed Nie Qing's memories, her boasted identity as a half-immortal would prevent her from believing it was Nie Qing herself. This was a difficult situation; he had dug a hole for himself.
"His Highness the Third Prince has arrived!"
At that very moment, the Third Prince arrived at Minister Nie's residence.
The situation is not good. Both the Chao family and the Nie family are loyal to the Third Prince. The Third Prince must be trying his best to facilitate this marriage. They have probably come here to suppress Princess Chengde.
"The Nie family is quite lively today." The Third Prince, Li Yun, swaggered in with a smile, then feigned surprise: "Oh, what a coincidence, what are you doing here, Second Princess?"
"Your Highness is quite free, isn't he? You have time to come to the Minister's residence today?" Princess Chengde was initially a little unsure of the situation, but now that the Third Prince had arrived, her subconscious authority as the elder sister suddenly made it impossible for her to back down.
"Isn't it because I knew you were here, so I came here specifically to see what was going on?" Li Yun shifted the blame back to her.
"There's nothing to see here. If you have nothing to do, go back. Be careful, or your eldest princess will teach you a lesson." Chengde brought up the eldest princess, and it has to be said that none of these princes and princesses were afraid of her.
As expected, although Li Yun quickly adjusted his state, a trace of fear still flashed in his eyes.
