Chapter 875: Not to Be Underestimated
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Previously, someone from Duke Chen’s estate harmed Chen Zhuzhu, but an old woman protected her. Chu Zhuzhu then found the person who harmed her and sought justice for herself.
Chen Zhuzhu now lived a good life in the Public House. There was also internal peace and no more hidden struggles.
Su Binglan let Yang Xiaoxun deal with Han Mobei while the former went to Han Yuetings cell to torture him. After all, he had caused the deaths of Luo Jin’an’s father and brother.
Su Binglan did not want to kill Han Yueting yet, as that would be too easy on him. When Han Yueting heard footsteps, he knew the princess had arrived. He looked up at her weakly and thought she was gorgeous.
‘She’s not Lan Ruobing. She looks different, but why do they seem so similar?’
Su Binglan ordered the guard to open the door and then walked in, saying,
“You’re about to die, Han Yueting. Do you have any last words?”
Han Yueting closed his eyes. “Is Wei Jin’an still alive?”
Although he was in prison, he heard about what had gone on outside whenever the guards chatted.
Su Binglan said, “Yes, he’s alive and well. Everyone who harmed him will die a slow, painful death.”
Han Yueting looked at her intensely. “1 heard he has become the new emperor’s confidant. I heard Wei Jin’an treats his fiancee very well, and she treats him similarly.
“I’m talking about the beautiful and intelligent Princess Ruobing. Isn’t she jealous of you?”
Su Binglan sneered. “l didn’t expect you to remember Lan Ruobing.”
Han Yueting said, “l heard they canceled the engagement because of Princess
Ruobing’s illness. People often talked about her because of that.”
Lan Ruobing did not care about public opinion. Han Yueting thought Su Binglan would be angry when he mentioned Lan Ruobing, but she was not. He was puzzled as everything Su Binglan had now should have belonged to Lan Ruobing.
If Lan Ruobing had not died, she would be the royal princess now. In the past, Han Yueting never thought about relationships. He only cared about his familys interests.
At that time, he thought the Deceased Royal’s Mansion would fall, given the state of Lan Ruozhu and Lan Ruobings health. Han Yueting did not want that to implicate his family, so he sought refuge with the Crown Prince.
Back then, Chu Liuwu was interested in Han Yueting and wanted him to be her brother’s confidant. After weighing the pros and cons, Han Yueting agreed. Still, Chu Liuwu was not as beautiful nor as intelligent as Lan Ruobing.
Moreover, the former was just as bad-tempered as her brother, the Crown Prince. Whenever Chu Liuwu threw a tantrum, Han Yueting would think of the gentle and intelligent Lan Ruobing.
Sometimes, he even wondered what Lan Ruobing and her brother would have done if they were healthy. Han Yueting also wondered if he would still rely on the Crown Prince if the siblings were in good health.
Han Yueting continued, “That’s right, Princess Ruobing was terminally ill. It was only fitting for them to call off the engagement. Even so, Wei Jin’an asked for her hand in marriage, which showed his profound feelings for her.
“You probably didn’t know about that, right, Your Highness? Aren’t you curious about that? What feelings does Wei Jin!an have for you? Maybe he treats you as a substitute for his past love.”
In the past, Han Yueting had sent his people to monitor Lan Ruozhu’s every move. The former had received some information but thought they were not important.
However, he began to consider the past information as he sat in prison and found some clues. Lan Ruozhu’s health had improved significantly because of Su Binglan, the current princess.
The former had even acknowledged Su Binglan as his sister because she had done him a favor by curing him. That was the detail Han Yueting had just discovered.
Han Yueting would have sent someone to kill Su Binglan if he had discovered it earlier. He had underestimated Su Binglan because he thought she was just a country bumpkin.
“Prince Ruozhu, no, Emperor Ruozhu doted on his sister. Don’t you think he acknowledged you to replace his beloved sister?”
Su Binglan quietly listened to Han Yueting with a mysterious expression, asking, “Is that all you have to say?”
Han Yueting thought she would be furious, but she remained calm instead, showing no anger or jealousy. It made his heart waver even more. Although Han Yueting tried to anger Su Binglan, she appeared uncaring. He knew he could not underestimate her.
“Your instigation was commendable, Han Yueting. Unfortunately, it’s useless against me.”
Han Yueting wanted to plant a seed of hatred within Su Binglan before dying.
He hoped to deal with Lan Ruozhu and Luo Jin’an even after dying. Han Yueting even thought Su Binglan would be dissatisfied if he could make her jealous and angry.
Han Yueting planned to shake the Imperial Court by sowing discord between
Lan Ruozhu and Luo Jin’an. If Han Yueting should succeed, someone else would become the emperor.
Since he was in prison now, he had to think of a way to make Su Binglan stab her brother in the back. Unfortunately for Han Yueting, his schemes were useless before Su Binglan.
“l didn’t expect you to see through me, Your Highness. Do you really not care about Lan Ruobings existence?”
Su Binglan smirked. “1 don’t mind at all.”
Han Yueting was in disbelief. He could see no reaction in Su Binglan, even after staring into her eyes.
“You must die. If I let you live, you might cause even more trouble.” Su Binglan threw a pill in his mouth as she spoke. The pill instantly melted, not giving Han Yueting any time to react.
“Wh-what did you just feed me?”
“You should’ve put more effort into investigating me, Han Yueting. You know that I was the one who cured my brother, but you might not know that I’m also good at using poison. That’s what 1 fed you.
“Only I have the antidote, so you don’t have to play any tricks. Even if you escaped, it’d be useless. You’ll still die a painful death.”
Although Su Binglan had already locked Han Yueting up, he was still a threat. She only felt relieved after feeding him the pill, knowing he would die soon.
“Y-You…” Han Yueting grabbed his throat and tried to spit out the pill.
Su Binglan said, “It’s pointless. The pill melts in your mouth. I made it specifically for you. I know how cunning you are, so I had to be wary. Do you know why your words failed to anger me?”
She squatted before Han Yueting and looked into his eyes.. She then smiled and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
