Luo Yuan revealed what Wen Yan had predicted.
Father Luo refused to believe it. "Absolutely impossible! Although Nangong Yu is ambitious, he should have a basic moral bottom line. Our Luo family helped him secure the position of Crown Prince and even married our daughter to him. How could he bite the hand that feeds him?"
Mother Luo nodded, "Yes, we have been staying in the villa all along and didn't hear any commotion coming from the backyard."
Saying so, Mother Luo looked at Wen Yan apologetically, "Miss Wen, could it be that you miscalculated?"
With a solemn face, Luo Yuan recounted the incident at the banquet where Luya had a miscarriage and framed her for it.
"If it weren't for Yan and her father, I would have been slapped by Nangong Yu on the spot, and he would have forced the blame for Luya's miscarriage onto me!"
Father and Mother Luo were utterly stunned.
"We'll go check the backyard right now!"
The group headed to the backyard.
After searching for about half an hour, they found the buried classified documents under a patch of lawn near the corner of the wall.
Upon seeing those classified documents, Father and Mother Luo trembled all over.
Their eyes were filled with shock and panic.
If it weren't for Miss Wen's fortune-telling abilities, their family might have been doomed beyond redemption in this conspiracy!
"Luya is just the daughter of our Luo family's former maid. How can she even compare to you? Why would Nangong Yu treat our Luo family this way for Luya's sake?"
Wen Yan also found it a bit strange.
Logically speaking, with Nangong Yu's status, what kind of woman hadn't he seen?
Why was he exclusively obsessed with Luya?
Luya was not as beautiful as Princess Luo Yuan, nor could her knowledge and talents compare. It really didn't make sense.
Wen Yan checked the system.
[Oh my god, there's actually such a melodramatic reason behind this!]
Old Master Si and Rex's eyes immediately lit up.
The two elders rubbed their hands together, both entering an excited state of readying themselves for the gossip.
[Nangong Yu suffered an eye injury when he was young. Plus, he wasn't favored, so he lived alone in the palace courtyard. At that time, the servants would secretly bully him. Only one person treated him well, and that was the white moonlight in Nangong Yu's heart.]
[The white moonlight would enter the palace every day to accompany Nangong Yu, bringing him delicious food and even little rabbits. That period was the happiest and most healing time for Nangong Yu.]
[In Nangong Yu's memory, his white moonlight had long hair, liked to wear dresses, and spoke in a soft, gentle voice. When Nangong Yu went to have his eye surgery, he gave his white moonlight a jade pendant.]
[He made a pact with the white moonlight that they would meet again once his vision was restored. However, after Nangong Yu regained his sight, he never saw his white moonlight again.]
[He searched all over Country S but couldn't find any trace of his white moonlight. It wasn't until the day of his coming-of-age ceremony that he accidentally saw the jade pendant drop from Luya. He and Luya acknowledged each other, and the two secretly dated for two years, until he had to break up with Luya to pursue Luo Yuan in order to secure the Crown Prince position.]
Seeing this, Wen Yan felt that the relationship between Nangong Yu and Luya actually fit the typical trope of a domineering CEO and his white moonlight.
But the most crucial part was, there was a plot twist.
[Pfft hahaha, I know I shouldn't laugh out loud, but I really can't help it.]
[Nangong Yu completely got the wrong person as his white moonlight; Luya is just a fake.]
Old Master Si stroked his white beard. His gaze fell on Luo Yuan, and then he nudged Rex with his elbow. "Old Rex, I bet Nangong Yu's real white moonlight is Luo Yuan. What do you think?"
Based on the usual gossip tropes, Old Master Si felt his guess was very accurate.
Rex shook his head. "Your guess is wrong. According to the timeline Yan mentioned, when Nangong Yu was blind, Luo Yuan was still at the border. How could she have been the white moonlight accompanying Nangong Yu?"
While the two were guessing, Wen Yan's inner voice, laughing like a honking goose, came through again.
[Honk honk honk~ Nangong Yu's real white moonlight is his chief secretary, Lawson! During the time Nangong Yu was blind, Lawson cross-dressed as a girl to accompany him and deliberately spoke in a soft, gentle voice.]
[To be honest, Lawson is quite infatuated. For so many years, he has silently stayed by Nangong Yu's side. Even knowing that Nangong Yu mistook the wrong person for his white moonlight, he didn't dare to speak up, let alone confess his true identity. When Nangong Yu told him to marry Luya, he obediently listened and married Luya.]
[The person he deeply loves is right in front of him, yet he has to watch him have an affair with a fake white moonlight, and even watch them have children. Who wouldn't go crazy in his shoes? It turns out the reason Luya's pregnancy was an empty sac with no fetal heartbeat was because Lawson tampered with her diet early on.]
[It's so melodramatic and brilliant! Among these people, Princess Luo Yuan is the most innocent one!]
Old Master Si and Rex looked at each other in dismay.
This palace drama was truly comparable to an 8 o'clock primetime soap opera.
...
Late at night.
Luo Yuan returned to the palace.
Not long after she got back, she received a call from Father Luo. Nangong Yu had indeed sent people to search the Luo family residence.
A chill seeped into Luo Yuan's spine, and her hands and feet turned cold.
She closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down.
Nangong Yu's plan didn't succeed, so he would definitely return to the palace immediately to find her.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Nangong Yu returned.
Luo Yuan took out the prepared divorce agreement. "You must be very disappointed that you didn't find any evidence of treason against our Luo family, right?"
Nangong Yu narrowed his deep, sharp eyes. "How did you know?"
"Never mind how I knew. You used our Luo family to consolidate your power. We don't ask for your gratitude, but at the very least, don't persecute us!"
Luo Yuan knew very well that neither she nor the Luo family were his match anymore.
Even though he almost got her entire family killed, she and her family could only bury this hatred and humiliation deep in their hearts.
"Our family will not disclose this matter to the public, but our marriage cannot continue any longer. I have already signed the divorce agreement."
Nangong Yu looked at the divorce agreement Luo Yuan handed over. He tore it to pieces and threw it into the trash can. "Our marriage is not something you can just walk away from whenever you want. However, if you really want a divorce, it's not entirely impossible."
Luo Yuan looked at the man's dark and unreadable expression, her brows furrowing tightly. "What do you want me to do?"
Nangong Yu coldly twitched the corners of his lips. "Either publicly announce that you cheated and betrayed our marriage, or publicly admit that you are unable to bear an heir for the royal family. You will take all the blame for the divorce upon yourself."
Luo Yuan's eyes reddened with anger. "Nangong Yu, you are clearly the one who cheated! If I'm not mistaken, the child Luya miscarried was yours, wasn't it?"
Being exposed on the spot by Luo Yuan, Nangong Yu's face showed no emotional fluctuation. "I gave you a choice. If you don't agree, I'll have no choice but to—"
Before Nangong Yu could finish his sentence, he clapped his large hands. Soon, a tall guard walked in from outside.
"This is the affair partner I found for you."
Luo Yuan widened her eyes in disbelief. She hadn't expected that Nangong Yu, having torn off all pretenses, would be this utterly deranged.
"Nangong Yu, are you crazy? For Luya, you would actually do something like this to your own lawful wife?"
"If you are willing to publicly announce that you cheated, you won't have to suffer tonight. You will only lose your reputation, but your body won't be harmed!"
Luo Yuan clenched her teeth tightly. "Impossible!"
The Luo family had always been open and aboveboard. They would never admit to something they hadn't done and ruin the family's reputation.
She was the Princess Consort. Once she publicly admitted to cheating and betraying the royal family, she would become like a rat crossing the street, condemned by everyone.
Seeing that Luo Yuan was not cooperating, a dark, cold smile curled on Nangong Yu's face. "Then you can't blame me."
He gave a look to the guard, who immediately walked toward Luo Yuan. "Princess Consort, pardon my offense."
Before the guard could even touch her, Luo Yuan pulled out her phone from the corner. "Don't come any closer! I've recorded a video of everything that just happened. If you really dare to force me, I will send the video to the Queen right now!"
Luo Yuan was the Princess Consort chosen by the Queen for Nangong Yu, so the Queen naturally protected her.
Even though Nangong Yu was incredibly powerful now, he still had the Queen pressing down on him from above.
Nangong Yu's expression shifted. He hadn't expected Luo Yuan to set up her phone in the room in advance to record a video.
He had underestimated her!
"Luo Yuan, we can talk this out."
Luo Yuan was glad she had taken precautions. She walked from the corner to the door. "I just want a divorce. My family and I won't leak a single word about the filthy things you've done! Also, my bodyguard is right now at the entrance of the Queen's palace. If he doesn't receive a call from me within ten minutes, he will directly go to the Queen for help. You'd better not do anything you'll regret!"
Nangong Yu narrowed his sharp, deep eyes. He stared at Luo Yuan for a few seconds before laughing aloud three times. "Fine, I'll let you leave. As for the divorce, I'll arrange for a lawyer to contact you."
Luo Yuan didn't even dare to grab her luggage and left the palace straight away.
The Luo family was worried about Luo Yuan, so they had sent two cars of bodyguards to protect her when she returned to the palace.
Leaving the palace, Luo Yuan asked the driver to take her back to the Luo family home.
Watching the car gradually move away from the palace, Luo Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
Just as the three cars were passing an intersection, the driver of Luo Yuan's car suddenly sped up.
By the time the two cars behind reacted and tried to catch up, a heavy truck drove over and blocked their path.
When the truck finally moved out of the way, the car Luo Yuan was in had already disappeared without a trace.
...
"Kevin, where are you driving the car?"
Kevin pulled out a tranquilizer gun and shot the bodyguard in the passenger seat, knocking him out. He glanced at Luo Yuan through the rearview mirror. "Eldest Miss, I'm sorry."
He raised the tranquilizer gun and shot Luo Yuan in the arm.
Luo Yuan's eyelids grew heavy. "You are from our Luo family. You've been by my side for over ten years, and you actually betray me? Did Nangong Yu make you do this?"
Kevin said nothing.
When Luo Yuan woke up again, her nose was filled with the thick stench of blood.
She twitched her fingers and realized she seemed to be holding something in her hand. She abruptly opened her eyes.
Seeing everything in front of her clearly, her pupils dilated in shock.
She was now in a hospital ward, slumped by the side of a hospital bed. What met her eyes was Luya, whose face was as pale as paper. Luo Yuan was holding a sharp dagger in her hand, and the dagger was plunged into Luya's lower abdomen, which was already a river of blood.
Luo Yuan reached her trembling fingers toward Luya's nose.
Quickly, she violently pulled her hand back.
Luya was no longer breathing.
In other words, Luya was dead!
How could this happen?
Luo Yuan's mind was buzzing. Before she could react in any way, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Click, click, click.
A group of reporters rushed in.
...
Knock, knock, knock.
Urgent knocking sounded at the door.
Wen Yan was nestled in Si Moyan's arms, half-asleep.
"Who's knocking so early?"
Si Moyan kissed Wen Yan's forehead. "I'll get up and take a look."
Si Moyan opened the door. Standing outside were Rex, along with Father Luo and Mother Luo, whose eyes were red.
"Yan girl, something happened to Luo Yuan!"
Wen Yan jolted fully awake.
After quickly washing up, she went downstairs to the living room.
The living room TV was broadcasting the massive breaking news that happened this morning.
Seeing that Luo Yuan had killed Luya, Wen Yan looked completely astonished.
She absolutely believed that Princess Consort Luo Yuan would not do such a thing.
Luya was Nangong Yu's true love, and the security around her was strict. How could she be killed so easily?
There must be something fishy going on.
Wen Yan immediately entered the system to investigate carefully and deeply.
[Holy crap! When I was gossiping yesterday, I only scratched the surface. The truth hidden underneath is actually this spine-chilling!]
[Too terrifying, it's really too terrifying!]
