Chapter 768: Why Didn’t It Just Penetrate His Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a long while, Lu Yunshuang swallowed her anger and turned her head, whining like a little girl, “Grandmother, I don’t want to accept him as my father. I grew up in the Grand Duke Mansion, and the only father I know is the Grand Duke and no one else. Besides, what if he’s lying? Please don’t be
deceived by him, Grandmother. At least, I’ve never heard my mother mention that my birth father is someone else.” When she said this, she glared at Zeng Lunan disdainfully.

Why did that blade not penetrate his heart?

It would be great if he had just died, then she would not have to waste her breath right now.

Who did this man think he was, coming out of nowhere and calling her his daughter? Did he think he was worthy of being her birth father?

Lu Yunshuang was filled with disgust.

Hearing this, the Dowager Duchess sighed.

Zeng Lunan had already gotten himself injured for her sake, yet she ignored it and even said such unkind words.

Even if she really could not accept him, anyone with a conscience would not be so indifferent after seeing him sacrifice himself to take the blow for her.
“If he was lying, why did he even take the blow for you?” The Dowager Duchess massaged her eyelids and said wearily.

A person’s first reaction never lied.

‘When Lihua hurled the flying dagger just now, Zeng Lunan did not hesitate at all.

If he had hesitated even in the slightest, Lu Yunshuang would not be standing here unharmed now.

Only her birth parent would sacrifice his or her life to take the blow for her.

Lu Yunshuang was speechless, and irritation swelled in her. Did she ask him to take the blow for her? What a busybody!

She was about to reply when she saw the Emperor walk in, much to her shock. She did not expect that he would come to the Grand Duke Mansion too.
Just when she was about to curtsy to him, she caught sight of Zhao Qian behind him as well as the person Zhao Qian was lugging.

‘When Lu Yunshuang recognized who it was, she was stunned.

After entering the room, Zhao Qian threw Matron Chen on the floor.

‘The Dowager Duchess looked at Long Yang in confusion. “Your Majesty, what’s going on?”

Long Yang did not answer her and glanced at Zhao Qian instead. “Let her speak.”

“Yes, Master.” Zhao Qian then landed a kick on Matron Chen. “Get up.”

It took Matron Chen some time to recover her senses. She had been kicked twice by Zhao Qian at Jiuhua Temple, and although she had been treated by a physician, her body still ached terribly.

At this moment, when she saw the people in the room, she immediately understood the situation. She was particularly shocked to see the Emperor standing next to her, and she hurriedly got on her knees and kowtowed to him. “Your Majesty, I was only following the Empress Dowager’s orders. If I ever
did anything offensive, please have mercy on me and spare my life.”

Without giving her a single glance, Long Yang walked over to Lu Liangwei and sat down beside her.

Zhao Qian yelled at Matron Chen, “You assisted the Empress Dowager in committing all kinds of evil deeds, and now you’re begging for mercy? You’d better tell us everything about how the Empress Dowager used Madam Zheng, and if you try to hide anything, you’ll receive a punishment worse than
death.”

Meeting his vicious gaze, Matron Chen shuddered and nodded hastily, not daring to stall. “Yes, of course. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.” She then tried her best to recall the events of that fateful year.

“After the late Emperor passed the throne to His Majesty, the Empress Dowager was very upset, but the Crown Prince was still young, so she endured it silently until she got her hands on Frostbite
