Xie Shuyue, she should be called Liang Shuyue instead.
How audacious the Liang Family truly is, daring to pull off such a substitution!
It would be bad enough if it were just impersonation, but what I fear the most…
“Xie Nuan, you must be okay!”
Xie Hanhan said, then rose and entered the room, knelt before a statue of Buddha, reverently kowtowed, and murmured softly, “Greatly compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, your devotee Xie Hanhan makes a vow here, earnestly praying for my sister Xie Nuan’s safety and peaceful return. I am willing to maintain a vegetarian diet and copy scripture daily to pray for my sister’s blessings!”
Liang Shuyue arrived at the main courtyard but was stopped by someone, “Miss, you cannot enter!”
“What did you say?” Liang Shuyue exclaimed, “Who am I? Take a good look; how can I possibly not be allowed in when my third brother returns!”
Upon hearing this, the managing mama inwardly sneered, “I know who you are, but the lady of the house has ordered that no one is allowed in, not even you!”
“…” Liang Shuyue stamped her foot in anger, “Just wait, when my mother lets me in, I’m going to make sure she punishes you properly!”
Damn old devout woman, so detestable.
Liang Shuyue was fuming and jumping, but she was helpless.
In this mansion, the only people she could use were her maid Cuicui and her wet nurse Mrs. Jiang. No matter how much silver or how many benefits she offered to the others, they only brought her some inconsequential news.
They simply didn’t listen to her orders.
As the doors to the main courtyard were opened, a mix of bloody and foul odors wafted out, causing Liang Shuyue to grimace with distaste.
Then she saw Xie Qian stepping out.

“Big brother!” She called out joyfully and immediately ran over.Xie Qian watched Liang Shuyue running towards him, his brow furrowed tightly, a sudden urge to kill rising, then quickly suppressed.
Once she reached him.
“Big brother…”
Xie Qian reached out and pinched Liang Shuyue’s chin, carefully examining her features.
That’s right, she didn’t look at all like his sister Nuannuan, not her appearance nor her temperament. How could he have mistaken her before?
Xie Qian was handsome and had an extraordinary presence, most importantly, he held a high position. Recently he had received a promotion, making him the dream husband of countless young women.
Liang Shuyue had once dreamt of marrying such a man.
Now that Xie Qian was so close to her, the chilling aura from his body confused her heart, making it beat rapidly, thump thump.
If, if she weren’t his sister, would she have the chance to stay by his side?
“Hah!” Xie Qian chuckled lightly and let go of her chin.
“It’s so late, why aren’t you in your courtyard but came over here instead?”
“Ah, I, I…” Liang Shuyue was startled by Xie Qian’s cold tone.
Her whole body stiffened. “Third brother has returned; I came to have a look!”
She felt uneasy and a bit scared inside.
She always felt that Xie Qian was somehow different today.
Xie Qian just glanced at her and without saying anything more, turned and walked away.
“…”
Not just Liang Shuyue, even her maid Cuicui was very surprised. The Crown Prince hadn’t been like this before.
Why was he so odd today?
Just now, she felt as if there was a killing aura emanating from the Crown Prince.
Liang Shuyue was extremely bewildered.
Her mind still lingered on the sensation of Xie Qian approaching and the cold aura from his body.
She wanted to go in, but then she saw Xie Rong supporting Xie Yu coming out, “Second brother, third brother!”
Both men heard her.
Their expressions became even colder.
They acted as if they hadn’t seen her and continued walking toward the back corridor.
“…”
Liang Shuyue felt as if her face had been harshly slapped, burning with pain.
And it was embarrassing.
“Pfft!”
Some maid couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
Xie Shuyue felt her face burning even hotter, as if it were on fire.
She suddenly burst into tears, rushed into the room, and saw the Marquis’s wife sitting on the Luohan bed, dignified and gentle, pitifully calling out in a low voice, “Mother, mother…”
