Jun Moqing’s eyes turned cold, "What did you say?"

Ye Anyu repeated herself, "National Master, the current Princess Jiuyou is a fraud. I overheard it at the Inn myself. If you don’t believe it, ask her in person."

Jun Moqing glanced at the Crown Prince and Anyu with disdain in his gaze, "You rushed over here in such a hurry just to tell me this?"

Ye Anyu nodded vigorously, "Yes, National Master. I came especially to tell you because I didn’t want to see that impostor continue to deceive you."

Jun Moqing said, "Whether little Jiuyou is my daughter or not, I know better than you. Do I need you to tell me that?"

Ye Anyu didn’t respond right away, since the National Master’s reaction was different from what she had expected. Shouldn’t he be angry?

She asked uncertainly again, "Does the National Master already know that Princess Jiuyou is an impostor?"

Jun Moqing said sternly, "Who could possibly impersonate my daughter? Do you think everyone has the same mediocre judgment as you?"

Ye Anyu’s legs went weak with fear, but she was not ready to give up; surely, the National Master didn’t know that this was an impostor.

Trying to bolster herself, she said, "I was just worried that the National Master might be deceived by villains. And I heard it with my own ears; I couldn’t be mistaken. The National Master could go and ask first."

Impatience was already evident in Jun Moqing’s eyes, "Are you questioning my ability to discern? You think I can’t recognize my own daughter?"

Ye Anyu, frightened, hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, that’s not what I mean. The National Master is wise and brave; I’m just afraid villains can be so cunning that they’re hard to guard against."

After finishing her evening meal, Shen Chuwei came happily to call the National Master for dinner and saw Ye Yuxi and Ye Anyu there as well.

With a questioning look, she approached and smiled, "Father, dinner is ready."

When Ye Anyu saw Feng Wuyou arrive, she didn’t believe she couldn’t expose her false identity.

"National Master, you can confront her right now," she said, and then pointed at Feng Wuyou, "I heard what you said today; you are not the real Feng Wuyou. You yourself said it, you and Feng Wuyou are absolutely not the same person."

Shen Chuwei blinked her beautiful eyes a couple of times. So Ye Anyu had heard what she said today and had deliberately come to expose her to the National Master.

She sneakily glanced at the National Master. His stunning and frost-like face revealed no expression.

Did he believe it or not?

Was she doomed?

Seeing that Shen Chuwei didn’t speak, Ye Anyu knew she felt guilty. Let’s see how you try to argue your way out of this.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Feeling guilty, are you?"

Shen Chuwei ignored Ye Anyu and looked at the National Master, "Father, do we need a blood test to verify parentage?"

Jun Moqing looked at his daughter, "What do you think?"

Shen Chuwei smiled, "It’s up to you."

Jun Moqing said, "I’m not so incompetent that I can’t even recognize my own daughter."

Shen Chuwei let out a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that the National Master’s conviction was firm; had it been someone else, they might have been swayed by just a few provocative words from a follower.

Ye Anyu couldn’t believe that the National Master so easily trusted an impostor. Still reluctant to give up, she said, "National Master, don’t be fooled by her; she truly is an impostor."

Jun Moqing coldly uttered three words: "Get out."

Ye Anyu trembled with fear.

Ye Yuxi had been watching the whole time. The National Master clearly didn’t believe his sister’s words. He glanced at little Jiuyou. Was she real or fake?

But what was most important now was to take his sister away.

He stepped forward and bowed, "National Master, Anyu is straightforward and may speak out of turn. Please don’t take offense."

Jun Moqing looked coldly at Ye Yuxi, "You’re the Crown Prince yet allow your sister to slander little Jiuyou with wild words without restraint. Your ability as a Crown Prince is worrying."

Ye Yuxi quickly bowed his head, "The National Master is right to chastise me. I will heed your lesson."

Jun Moqing ignored Ye Yuxi and once again turned his gaze toward Ye Anyu, "Apologize to little Jiuyou."

Facing the National Master, Ye Anyu was still very frightened, but she couldn’t bring herself to apologize to an impostor.

Why should an impostor enjoy better treatment than she, a true Princess?

The National Master was a fool to not be able to distinguish an impostor.

Ye Yuxi raised his head and said sternly to Ye Anyu, "Anyu, apologize."

Ye Anyu lifted her head to look at her Crown Prince brother, seeing the blame in his eyes made her feel wronged. She pursed her lips; when she looked at Feng Wuyou, she still carried a sense of unwillingness.
