Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 443: Zhan Xuerou Reveals Her True Colors

Zhan Xuerou held a dagger in her hand, standing in front of Zhan Lan, her face twisted.

Zhan Lan looked at Zhan Xuerou, "It’s come to this, life or death. I want to ask you something, did you incite the Grand Princess back then to have Xie Yu kill me at the border?"

Zhan Xuerou’s lips curled into an evil smile, "Do you think the Grand Princess is a good person? Huh, I only incited her twice, and she wanted to kill you. What a pity that borrowing someone’s hand to kill didn’t succeed; the person she found was too stupid to let you come back alive!"

Seeing Zhan Lan’s cold expression, Zhan Xuerou felt satisfied as she toyed with the dagger, continuing, "Also, the snake on your bed when you were little, I had someone place it there..."

With her words, Zhan Xuerou felt increasingly satisfied, "I deliberately ate the cherries you wanted most in front of you, even if I threw them away without giving you any! Deliberately made you embarrass yourself in front of others, spread rumors you liked Si Jun to make others laugh at you, deliberately ruined your arrows, deliberately had someone hurl stones at your head while you practiced archery, pretended to defend you when others bullied you, while those bullies were all hired by me, hahaha..."

Zhan Lan sneered, "So it was all you."

Zhan Xuerou gnashed her teeth, "And so what if it was me! Looking back, everything I did was right. I’m living so miserably now because of you, Zhan Lan, you’re my curse! I’ll first scar your face, then cut out your tongue, finally chop off your fingers..."

She scrutinized Zhan Lan from top to bottom, growing more excited with each word, wanting to slice Zhan Lan’s flesh piece by piece!

Zhan Lan looked at Zhan Xuerou with disdain, "I cut off Si Jun’s fingers one by one, do you think your methods are better than Si Jun’s, and you can catch me?"

Zhan Xuerou’s hand holding the dagger trembled, her gaze darting around, asking in fear, "What do you mean?"

Zhan Lan smiled, "Exactly what it sounds like."

Zhan Xuerou took a step back cautiously, asked, "You’re saying Si Jun was captured by you?"

"Zhan Xuerou, your information is really cut off. You didn’t even know Si Jun rebelled against his father, such a big event, yet you still want to scheme against me, the Princess?" Zhan Lan looked at Zhan Xuerou with disdain.

Struck by Zhan Lan’s confident words, Zhan Xuerou felt her hair stand on end. Even with Zhan Lan’s help near her, she chose to kill first.

"Die!" Zhan Xuerou raised the dagger, aiming for Zhan Lan’s heart, but Zhan Lan punched her square in the face.

"Ah!" Blood gushed from Zhan Xuerou’s nose, pain overwhelmed her, her vision dark, and when she regained sight, Zhan Lan had easily removed the ropes from her body, playing with them in her hands.

"You!" Zhan Xuerou suddenly realized something was amiss. She turned around and saw Wu Qing looking at her coldly.

Realization dawned on Zhan Xuerou, she screamed, "You’re all in this together!"

In a lofty posture, Zhan Lan introduced, "Meet Wu Qing, my Dark Guard Deputy Commander!"

"Ah!" Zhan Xuerou’s eyes, once bright, gradually dulled. She tearfully looked at Wu Qing, "Tell me, she’s not telling the truth!"

She thought Wu Qing was the only one who truly loved her, hoping to use his love to retaliate against Zhan Lan, against Si Jun!

But who would have thought Wu Qing was actually Zhan Lan’s subordinate, all part of a long-planned conspiracy.

Wu Qing nodded respectfully to Zhan Lan, "Master, I have completed the mission."

Zhan Lan smiled contentedly, "Zhan Xuerou, I’ve invited others today to admire your true face, can you guess who I invited?"

Zhan Xuerou’s pupils dilated in despair, "What are you saying?"

Slowly, Zhan Lan opened the latch of the door behind her. Before Zhan Xuerou could see who was behind the door, she was slapped fiercely twice by someone who rushed in.

Slap slap!

The sides of Zhan Xuerou’s mouth bled from the strike, and she saw Qin Shuang, eyes blazing with fury.

"Mother!" cried Zhan Xuerou.

Slap slap!

Gritting her teeth, her eyes red, Qin Shuang slapped Zhan Xuerou twice more.

Zhan Xuerou’s face swelled, her eyes hollow and despairing as she gazed at Qin Shuang, disbelief in her gaze.

"Beast! Just like your vicious mother, you should die! You don’t deserve to call me mother. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe I raised such a venomous-hearted thing, humiliating my daughter like that!"

Qin Shuang’s eyes were filled with tears, her chest heaving violently. If it weren’t for Lan’er’s insistence, no matter what she heard or saw, she would have rushed out to execute Zhan Xuerou.

Qin Shuang grabbed Zhan Xuerou’s collar, shouting angrily, "Everything from four years ago, it turns out it was all you. Just because Lan’er blocked your path, you wanted to kill her, incited the Grand Princess to assassinate her, are you even human? Ah!"

Zhan Xuerou fearfully looked at Qin Shuang, "No, this is all Zhan Lan’s scheme, she deliberately provoked me to say those things!"

"Enough!" A voice came down forcefully, as Zhan Xuerou turned to see Zhan Beicang stepping out from behind the door, his face cold.

Following him was Qiuyue.

Shaking all over, tears poured from Zhan Xuerou’s eyes, her voice rising, "Father, Qiuyue betrayed me, she’s colluding with Zhan Lan to frame me!"

Zhan Beicang’s fists clenched tightly, the guilt he felt towards Zhan Lan exploded completely in that moment, looking at Zhan Xuerou with anger, "Don’t call me father! I don’t have such a vicious daughter!"

Qiuyue glanced at Zhan Lan, who nodded; she no longer had to suffer Zhan Xuerou’s threats and finally dared to reveal the truth from years ago.

Pointing at Zhan Xuerou, she declared, "Reporting to the Master, Madam, it was Zhan Xuerou who ordered the assassination of the elder Princess four years ago, and Chunhua was involved too. Zhan Xuerou noticed Chunhua’s cousin held a grudge after being beaten for harassing the Princess, she threatened Chunhua’s cousin that if he didn’t cooperate to confess, she’d have someone kill his parents. Zhan Xuerou even almost drowned me in the lotus pond to cover up the truth. If it weren’t for the Princess saving me, I would’ve been murdered by Zhan Xuerou long ago."

Hearing this, Qin Shuang and Zhan Beicang’s anger flared, sending chills through Zhan Xuerou under their hateful gazes.

Suddenly realizing everything, she glared at Qiuyue, "You treacherous slave, you betrayed me, colluding with Zhan Lan since the lotus pond incident!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Zhan Lan’s voice turned icy, "Colluding? What kind of teachers did my father get you to use such random words? It’s your vicious heart, Qiuyue simply came out of the darkness."

Zhan Beicang didn’t know whether he was ashamed by Zhan Lan’s words or angered by Zhan Xuerou, his face red, shouting, "Wretched thing!"

Never had he thought such a seemingly gentle and understanding Zhan Xuerou, whom he had loved for so many years, had bullied his own daughter like this!

Time and again, viciously trying to kill Lan’er!

Zhan Beicang remembered giving cherries to Zhan Xuerou, the favorite food of his daughter Zhan Lan.

Eighteen years without his daughter receiving fatherly love!

Being tortured by what he called "fatherly love," leaving her utterly scarred!

Guilt weighed him down like a dark cloud, suffocating him; he felt as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat, unable to breathe!
