Chapter 243 Let's do it now!
Duke Sheng and Madam Li both reprimanded Sheng Junye.
Duke Sheng immediately gave his guards a look, and before Sheng Junye could say anything more, he stepped forward and forcibly dragged him away.
Duke Sheng couldn't help but start to regret it.
He never imagined things would turn out this way.
If this continues, Lu Yangyang's identity will inevitably be exposed.
From the moment he learned of Lu Yangyang's existence, he knew that the truth would eventually come out. As long as he kept Lu Yangyang in the Duke of Sheng's mansion, her identity would be exposed sooner or later. That's why he wanted to keep both children and just say they were twins.
In this way, even if Lu Yangyang's identity is exposed, it won't have a big impact. Besides, he does need Lu Yangyang's presence.
He never expected that Lu Yangyang would be such an unyielding person.
They are uncontrollable and difficult to bribe.
The Duke of Sheng stared at Lu Yangyang with a dark expression: "What exactly do you want?"
Even if the truth can't be hidden forever, now is not the time to expose Lu Yangyang's identity. In any case, we must wait until the Third Prince and Sheng Yunzhu's marriage is settled.
Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with this marriage, all his planning over the past few years will have been in vain.
He still needed to calm Lu Yangyang down first and prevent her from saying anything inappropriate.
or……
Alternatively, they could choose one of two options: even if Lu Yangyang's identity is exposed, she should only recognize Sheng Yunzhu to completely resolve the potential threat.
However, unless absolutely necessary, Duke Sheng still did not want to completely give up Lu Yangyang as a pawn.
Looking at the extremely ugly face of the Duke of Sheng, Lu Yangyang laughed: "Your Excellency, that's a very strange question. What do I want? I'd also like to know. Did Your Excellency summon me here for no reason just to ask what I want? Since when did I, an outsider, become so important in your Duke's mansion?"
"Today is your third sister's coming-of-age ceremony, yet you ruined her dress. I called you here to ask you what your intentions are," the Duke of Sheng said coldly.
"Pfft—" Lu Yangyang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This is really interesting. Just now you all mocked me for not having a father or mother, and now I have a third sister? Where did this third sister come from? Duke, do you want to explain? I really don't understand."
“Sister Yangyang, I have always treated you well since you came to the Duke’s mansion. You knew that today was my coming-of-age ceremony, but you deliberately ruined my wedding dress and tried to embarrass me. I have been tolerant of you in every way. What do you want from me? Father only called you here to ask what happened because he felt sorry for me being wronged. Why did you treat me like this?” As Sheng Yunzhu spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
It seemed that he had been bullied by Lu Yangyang quite often.
"You're saying I ruined your dress?" Lu Yangyang retorted.
The maidservant hurriedly took out the tattered dress and threw it in front of Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang bent down and picked it up.
The dress is exquisitely made and adorned with many pearls, making it look quite valuable.
Unfortunately, it was edited into a terrible mess.
It's quite infuriating to look at.
Lu Yangyang held the dress and stared down at Sheng Yunzhu.
Sheng Yunzhu felt inexplicably flustered. Lu Yangyang was someone who never played by the rules.
Lu Yangyang walked towards her.
Sheng Yunzhu instinctively wanted to dodge, but considering the old lady of the Xiao family behind her, she forced herself to remain kneeling and did not move.
The matriarch of the Xiao family hadn't expected Lu Yangyang to dare to come over, and she said with a stern face, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yangyang reached out and snatched the hairpin that was originally meant to be inserted into Sheng Yunzhu's hair from her hand.
"You, you!" The old lady of the Xiao family widened her eyes and subconsciously took two steps back, followed by her nanny who hurriedly helped her up.
"Madam, are you alright?" the nanny asked worriedly.
"How dare you!" the old nanny shouted sternly, shielding the old lady of the Xiao family. She angrily asked the old lady of the Li family, "What is the meaning of keeping this unruly girl in your family? If she offends the old lady, can your Shengguo Duke's Mansion bear the consequences?"
Madam Li lost her composure and could only weakly say, "This girl is not one of our family members. We will definitely kick her out."
"Grandmother, what are you saying? Why should Yangyang be kicked out? Even if someone has to be kicked out, it should be Sheng Yunzhu!" Sheng Yunjiao looked at Madam Li in disbelief and shouted loudly.
She knew her grandmother didn't like Yangyang, and she knew her uncle was biased, but no matter what, they shouldn't be so indiscriminate.
“I’ve been with Yangyang since early this morning and haven’t left the courtyard at all. I haven’t even seen her dress. How could it be damaged? Don’t you need evidence to falsely accuse people? When was this dress made? When did it arrive at the manor? You’re saying Yangyang damaged it. Who saw it and when? Have you asked them all?”
"Without even asking a single question, you immediately condemned Yangyang. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Sheng Yunjiao really didn't understand. Yangyang was clearly her uncle's biological daughter. Before Yangyang came back, when her uncle didn't know Sheng Yunzhu's true identity, he treated his "daughter" very well. So why was he being so harsh on Yangyang now?
Was it because Yangyang's face was disfigured? But isn't it all because of Sheng Yunzhu? It was Sheng Yunzhu's family that ruined Yangyang. How could her uncle treat Yangyang like this for Sheng Yunzhu's sake?
"Shut up!" Old Madam Li's eyelids twitched violently. What was wrong with these children? She had just covered Sheng Junye's mouth, but Sheng Yunjiao jumped out again. If Lu Yangyang's background was revealed in public, where would the Sheng State Duke's Mansion put its face?
Just as Madam Li and Duke Sheng were worried that Lu Yangyang's true identity would be exposed and were trying their best to stop Sheng Junye and Sheng Yunjiao from talking, Lu Yangyang snatched the hairpin from Madam Xiao's hand and grabbed Sheng Yunzhu's neck.
"Lu Yangyang, what are you doing?" the Sixth Princess exclaimed in shock.
Everyone gasped in shock at Lu Yangyang's actions.
Is Lu Yangyang really crazy? How dare she, an orphan girl who came to the Duke of Sheng's mansion to beg for money, be so arrogant?
Seeing Lu Yangyang's actions, Duke Sheng realized something was wrong and quickly gave Sheng Shi a meaningful look.
Madam Sheng was still counting on Lu Yangyang to be her daughter-in-law, and she absolutely could not let Lu Yangyang ruin her reputation today. She quickly said, "Yangyang, don't be impulsive. We just asked you about the dress, and we didn't mean to convict you. Please don't misunderstand. Quickly, let Yunzhu go."
Lu Yangyang lowered her eyes, smiled as she looked at Sheng Yunzhu, and raised her hand to remove her mask.
Under Wen Yu's care, the terrifying, dense scars on her face have now been reduced to a thin red mark. Even so, it still looks like a large pink birthmark, which is somewhat creepy.
"This scar on my face is all thanks to you. I've always wondered when I could repay you?" Lu Yangyang's eyes crinkled into a smile, her voice sweet and gentle.
"It's better to do it now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she held the gold hairpin that marked Sheng Yunzhu's coming-of-age ceremony and slashed it across Sheng Yunzhu's face.
