Du Fengjun was momentarily frozen.

She grabbed the clothes on the rack and slowly steadied herself.

Her bloodshot eyes widened as she looked at Xia Zhennan and Yun.

"You..." She thought of something and suddenly sneered coldly.

The laugh was extremely eerie and desolate.

"So... Xue’er wasn’t simply brought back from an orphanage after all! Xue’er... is actually... he is your... bastard child!"

"I won’t allow you to insult Xue’er!" Li Yunzhi sat up, looking at Du Fengjun: "Xue’er is our daughter, but she is not a bastard! She has always had a father and a mother; she’s the product of our love!"

Du Fengjun shook her head and started laughing, her face full of tears.

"Parents... your love’s product? Hahaha... this is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!" She shook her head while laughing, then trembled as she extended her finger and pointed at Yun and Xia Zhennan.

"So, so Xue’er has known for a long time that I’m not her biological mother; so... she’s known for a while that you two are her parents!"

"Of course!" Xia Zhennan walked up to Du Fengjun: "Fengjun, letting you mistakenly acknowledge our daughter for so many years, this is my fault towards you.

But you managed to accept Xiaonuan and Xue’er, so it’s nothing, isn’t it?

You cannot bear children, and for so many years, I allowed you to have two lovely daughters. After all, Xue’er and I share some blood, and despite your fondness for Xiaonuan, you remained lukewarm towards Xue’er, and I’ve noticed it all!"

Du Fengjun snorted coldly: "Do you know why I don’t like Xue’er? It’s not because I’m biased, it’s because... her eyes always revealed calculation and malice!

Unlike Xiaonuan, who has always been pure and kind.

She was never close to me, which puzzled me in the past, but now I understand; it’s because she knew all along that her parents were you two!"

Mrs. Xia spoke with hatred slowly spilling from her eyes.

"Xia Zhennan, Li Yunzhi, my father is dead, and you can ignore me, but... aren’t you afraid that Xiaonuan, knowing about this, will inform the Crown Prince?

Xiaonuan has always been closest to me, if she learns that her father is a beastly man, her most trusted nursemaid is such a conniving woman, and her adored sister is a girl whose heart is set on replacing her, do you think... she will forgive you?"

Xia Zhennan and Yun’s faces changed simultaneously upon hearing this.

A flash of panic appeared in Xia Zhennan’s eyes, but he pretended to remain calm as he said: "Xiaonuan has already left, she divorced the Crown Prince and left with another man!

Do you think she will come back? Do you think the Crown Prince will care if she’s alive or dead!?"

"Humph," Mrs. Xia sneered, stepping forward and looking at the flustered Yun.

"I’ve already spoken to Xiaonuan over the phone. Xiaonuan said that the Crown Prince has found her, and they’ll be coming back together soon! I want to see just how long you adulterers can remain rampant! And as for your precious daughter, I wonder what kind of exciting future she will have!"

Xia Zhennan’s entire face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

He couldn’t help but stumble back a step.

Looking at Du Fengjun, he said: "Is what you said true? Fengjun... I... is it true that Xiaonuan has reconciled with the Crown Prince...?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Fengjun’s arm.
