Chapter 977: It Could Never Be Wiped Off Her Entire Life

Chen Qiyu’s felt her heart shudder when she looked into his eyes. She quickly lowered her head, afraid to meet his eyes.

However, she felt the need to have a good chat with Zhao Heng.

She knew how he had been trying to into her good graces during this period. Even though he did not say it, she knew how he felt about her.

He was a good man and should not be wasting any more time on her.

She sat in a chair opposite him and was considering how to tell him about the terrible things that happened in her past when Zhao Heng spoke up first.

“Can you tell me why would those two people want to kill you?” He gave her a cup of hot tea while speaking to her.

Chen Qiyu gave him a grateful look and took a sip of the tea, soothing her throat before replying, “That woman was the previous Crown Princess. I think you should know her, am I right?”

“Lu Yunshuang?” Zhao Heng looked at her in astonishment.

He had left the city today, planning to return to Jade Moon Villa when he saw people coming after Chen Qiyu.

He had used his concealed weapon at the crucial moment and his attention was focused on Chen Qiyu. With the man coming behind in a speedy attack, he did not notice who was the woman in a struggle with Chen Qiyu.

Zhao Heng was shocked when she told him who it was.

“It was her?”

Chen Qiyu guessed he must have known Lu Yunshuang well by his reaction.

“Yes, it’s her. When I was still in the Eastern Palace, she could not wait to kill me. I never thought she would continue coming after my life after I’ve hidden here.” At this point, she was reminded of the danger just now and felt very grateful to Zhao Heng.

“Thank you for today, Big Brother Zhao. If not for you, I would be the one who is dead.”

Zhao Heng was startled and looked at Chen Qiyu with mixed emotions. Chen Xuping had once loved Lu Yunshuang and had done many bad things because of her.

He had never liked Lu Yunshuang and had always thought of her as a scheming woman. However, his buddy had fallen hard for her was so blinded that he had refused to listen to anyone’s advice.

Chen Xuping’s entire life was destroyed in the hands of Lu Yunshuang and even the entire Duke Chen family was dragged down because of her.

When Chen Qiyu saw the mixed emotions on his face, she thought that he must have had a close relationship with Lu Yunshuang. “Are you sad because Lu Yunshuang is dead?”

Zhao Heng collected his thoughts and frowned at her, replying strangely, “I have no ties to Lu Yunshuang, why should I feel sad? Besides, I’ve never liked her. If she’s dead, she’s dead.”

Chen Qiyu was slightly relieved to hear this.

Zhao Heng smiled when he saw her react this way and continued, “Your brother has been wanting to get his revenge on Lu Yunshuang. He would be very happy to know that you’ve stabbed her to death.”

Chen Qiyu was reminded of the time her brother had sneaked into the Eastern Palace to assassinate Lu Yunshuang. She nodded. “You’re right. A plague like Lu Yunshuang dead should be worth celebrating.”

Zhao Heng looked deeply at her. Something crossed his mind and he could not help but ask, “Why would Lu Yunshuang not let you off? Is it convenient for you to tell me about it?”

Chen Qiyu sighed when she heard this. She had planned to tell him, since he asked, she decided to be upfront and open. “I was her competition for the Crown Prince’s affection back in the Eastern Palace. She had wanted to kill me long ago. Since we bumped into each other coincidentally, her intent to kill me resurfaced.”

Zhao Heng remembered how Chen Qiyu had held the dagger outside the city and had stabbed Lu Yunshuang again and again viciously. A small smile appeared on his lips. “I can tell that you hate her a lot!”

Chen Qiyu’s chest heaved heavily. A look of hatred flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

Lu Yunshuang was dead now. All grudges, old and new, should have settled once and for all.

However, there was still a dark stain in her heart that could never be wiped off her entire life.
