Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 164: I Want to Take Everything Back for Him

Chu Qianli looked at Han Zhan blocking her path with so impatience.

"Why? Are you here to mock too?"

But after thinking it through, she laughed again, "No, that’s not right. You’re concerned that after I sign the divorce papers, Chu Hongtao and the others will be anxious to marry Chu Huaiyu off to Prince Yexuan’s residence?"

Heh, upon reflection, it turned out there was another poor soul involved.

Han Zhan was taken aback for a mont.

He knew that once she signed the divorce papers, his first thought was of this damned girl in the palace, fearing she had suffered a great deal of grievances.

She was not one to submit easily.

He didn’t know what thods the emperor had used to make her submit, to torture her.

Now, seeing her well and unhard before him, Han Zhan finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

As for what she said about her divorce from Feng Yexuan, and how the people at the Duke Residence might plot to marry Chu Huaiyu into Prince Yexuan’s Residence.

He was naturally aware of this, but strangely, it had not crossed his mind as he hurried over.

Chu Qianli was clearly growing impatient and pushed him away with a shove.

"Don’t stand in my way. I’m going to see Grandpa. As for the matter between you and Chu Huaiyu, it has nothing to do with . If you’re not content, go reason with Chu Hongtao."

"I’m not discontent." Han Zhan didn’t persist in blocking her way but followed her as she moved forward.

Before reaching Chu Buqu’s bedroom, Chu Qianli stopped and glared back at him.

"We shouldn’t tell Grandpa about this matter for now; his health isn’t good..."

"There’s soone inside!" Han Zhan frowned, taking the lead to the bedroom door and pushing it open.

Since returning from Phoenix Mountain, it had been him and his father personally caring for the Duke.

However, there were clearly more than just his father in the room right now!

Han Zhan was anxious and didn’t even knock on the door.

Chu Qianli quickly followed him, and upon entering, they saw several people gathered there.

Aside from Chu Huaiyu, who had fainted and had been taken to the Empress Dowager’s palace to recuperate... My goodness, Chu Hongtao, the Duchess, and Qin Liuyan had all returned!

Weren’t all these people supposed to be with Chu Huaiyu?

Heh, so their concern for Chu Huaiyu was fake, and the rush to return and report the "truth" to Chu Buqu was the real intent!

Seeing Chu Qianli co in, the Duchess imdiately stood in front of the bed as if to protect Chu Buqu.

"Master, she’s a fake! Even Lord Long of the Marquess Residence confird it!"

Chu Hongtao also spoke up, "That’s right, father, the Marquess of Dingbei has already identified her as a fake in front of the emperor!"

Qin Liuyan was kneeling on the ground, crying, "Father, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let her impersonate Qianyue’s daughter, deceiving you for so many years. It’s all my fault!"

Chu Buqu was not in good health and was still coughing at this mont.

But no one paid attention to him.

Chu Qianli felt a sinking feeling and took two steps forward.

The three of them imdiately looked defensive.

However, the butler, Han, was sowhat puzzled, "Old madam, eldest master... third madam, what are you doing?"

One after another, why were they treating Miss Xiaoqi like a thief?

This seed rather strange to the butler, Han.

He spoke the plain truth, "Even if Miss Seven isn’t Miss Seven, she is still the fifth young lady of our Duke Residence!"

This comnt left the three of them awkwardly at a loss for words.

That’s right, even if she wasn’t Long Qianyue’s daughter, she was still Chu Hongtao’s daughter, still the fifth young lady of the Duke Residence.

Their reaction seed a bit... excessive.

"Cough!" Chu Buqu gave a heavy cough and stretched out his hand, "Xiaoqi, co here."

"Father, she’s not Xiaoqi! The daughter of Qianyue is Huaiyu!"

"I like... like calling her... Xiaoqi, it’s habit... now."

Chu Buqu had little strength, and his hand remained raised mid-air, "Xiaoqi..."

"Grandpa, I’m here." Chu Qianli quickly approached.

Chu Hongtao wanted to stop her, stubbornly unwilling to let her get close to Chu Buqu.

But he never expected that the damned girl would actually push him away with a single palm.

Chu Hongtao was a scholar who preferred literature over martial arts, and this push completely caught him off guard, nearly causing him to topple over.

It was Han Zhan who stepped forward and caught him, preventing him from falling flat on his face.

"You damned girl, you dare..."

"Grandfather, I want to talk to you," Chu Qianli had already sat down by the bed, clutching Chu Buqu’s hand.

Even the Duchess had been pushed away by her.

Such disrespect! Completely vulgar!

"You damned girl..."

"I... would like to talk... to Xiaoqi," although Chu Buqu’s voice was very faint, everyone heard him clearly.

Butler Han imdiately said, "Madam, Master, Third Madam, please go back for now, let the master rest."

"Butler Han, even you are siding with this damned girl!"

The Duchess, who had been pushed out, could not swallow this indignation.

She turned back to glare at Butler Han, her eyes full of threatening intent, "Don’t forget your place!"

Now that the old master’s health was deteriorating, very soon his son, Chu Hongtao, would take charge of the household.

If Butler Han did not understand the tis, she would be the first to drive him out!

Butler Han t her gaze, neither servile nor overbearing, and simply said, "My place is as the old master’s butler, that’s all."

"You!"

"Han Zhan, please escort the old madam and the master to rest."

"Yes!" Han Zhan stepped forward, helping Chu Hongtao, "Master, please."

"You dare touch !" Chu Hongtao glared at him, furious, "With such insolence, don’t expect to be with Huaiyu anymore in the future!"

Han Zhan was sowhat helpless, but in the end, he could only say in a low voice, "Master, please."

Qin Liuyan imdiately got up, grabbed Chu Hongtao’s sleeve, and shook her head.

Although Chu Buqu was bedridden, and the Duke Residence seed to be in the hands of Chu Hongtao and the Duchess.

Yet, all the guards responsible for the residence’s security were loyal to Han Zhan.

And Butler Han, though only a butler, was more trusted by the Second and Third Masters because they were not the biological sons of the old lady.

The Second and Third Masters also preferred to listen to Butler Han rather than oppose him.

Now, their wings were not yet strong; it was unnecessary to clash head-on with the father and son.

Once they had their own people placed in the guard team and gradually weakened the father and son’s power, getting rid of these two would not be difficult.

Though Chu Hongtao was seething with anger, ultimately, he listened to Qin Liuyan.

Finally, those unrelated were gone.

"Xiaoqi, you have been wronged," Chu Buqu said to the little girl sitting beside him.

But there was not a hint of misery in her eyes.

On the contrary, she was softly smiling, "Grandfather, your pulse seems a lot better, but your body is still very weak; you mustn’t overexert yourself for now."

"Xiaoqi..." Chu Buqu looked at her blankly, speechless for a long while.

However, Butler Han said, "Miss Lili, while you keep watch over the master, I’ll go and prepare the dicine."

"Alright."

Not long afterward, Chu Qianli administered acupuncture to Chu Buqu and then had him lie down to rest.

She personally went out to et Butler Han, who was returning with the dicine.

"Miss Lili, about the old master..."

"I have sothing to discuss with you."

Chu Qianli took a step forward, glanced back at the room door, and then whispered,

"You call Miss Lili, not Fifth Miss! Butler Han, from now on, you can consider yourself half an insider with !"

"Miss Lili... What do you an?" An insider?

Could it be that Miss Lili had so major plans afoot?

Chu Qianli looked at him seriously, "In this family, soone wants to betray Grandfather, and I intend to take back everything he has—for Grandfather!"
