This time, it was Chu Qianli who was startled.
She hadn't expected Feng Yexuan, who disliked her so much, to personally tear her clothes.
With a ripping sound, a large portion of her wedding dress was torn away.
Her fair, rounded shoulders were instantly exposed.
On them were the marks Feng Yexuan had bitten earlier that morning.
"Let go!" Her chest felt cold, and Chu Qianli instinctively clutched her collar, trying to cover herself.
This simple act of self-protection revealed her unwillingness to be exposed, her unease, and her panic.
"What? You know fear now? Where did that wanton demeanor go? Why don't you continue?"
Feng Yexuan had seen through her by now.
The first time, he had lacked experience and was played for a fool by this woman.
Her talk of wanting to be close to him was just a ploy to drive him away!
She had never intended to truly be intimate with him!
He was beginning to understand this woman less and less!
Before marriage, she had constantly pestered him, acting like a lovesick fool whenever she saw him.
Now that she was married to him, even after they had shared intimacy, she avoided him like the plague and wanted a divorce?
What game was she playing?
Had she truly grown tired of him, or was this just another tactic of hers, a push-and-pull?
Feng Yexuan's hand once again fell upon her collar.
Chu Qianli's heart chilled.
This wedding dress was barely covering her body anymore!
"Feng Yexuan, don't touch me! I've found the culprit who drugged Feng Jinrui that night!"
Feng Yexuan's fingertips paused, his bone-chilling gaze falling upon her face.
It was filled with questions and exploration.
"I really found the culprit! Call them here, and I can prove it to you now!"
As long as she wasn't locked in a room alone with him.
The pain of him pressing down on her earlier that morning was still vivid.
She could still feel the extreme, uncomfortable soreness between her legs.
This man's physique was too powerful.
If it happened again, she would die!
She struggled with all her might but couldn't break free from his grip.
Seeing his eyes darken, Chu Qianli quickly added, "I really found the culprit. Can you give me a chance to prove it?"
Feng Yexuan stared at her face.
Outside, Consort Zhen finally rushed back.
Knowing that Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli were alone in the room, Consort Zhen was both anxious and angry.
"Xuan'er, this woman is full of tricks. Didn't she drug you last night? Have you forgotten?"
"Xuan'er, you can't believe her. Don't be fooled by her!"
Chu Qianli used to truly detest that noisy voice.
But now, Consort Zhen's return had, in a way, helped her.
She gently pushed away Feng Yexuan's fingers that were gripping her collar and said in a deep voice, "The person who drugged Feng Jinrui that night was..."
Looking at his expression, she hesitated, as if weighing something.
Finally, she said coldly, "Yu Linglong."
...
"You... you wicked woman, how dare you slander Miss Yu!"
In the main hall, Chu Qianli, having changed into clean clothes, sat on a chair, drinking tea.
It was already late at night.
For the past two days, it felt as if she had gone through hell.
Therefore, facing Consort Zhen's accusations now, she seemed accustomed to them, and they no longer stirred any waves within her heart.
Yu Linglong was also present.
Upon hearing that "she was the culprit behind it," Yu Linglong also came to see how she had become the culprit.
She sat beside Consort Zhen, remaining quiet.
Even her questions were gentle and soft, as was her usual demeanor:
"Miss Chu, you say I was the one who drugged someone. Do you have any evidence?"
