Once he said that sentence, the entire atmosphere became stiff.

Chu Liuyue then recovered her senses as quickly as the blink of an eye. She asked weirdly, “Father, what are you talking about?” Her confused expression did not allow others to suspect her.

However Chu Ning was very conflicted, and he kept replaying his memories of the past two days.

Everything seemed to be very different ever since Yue’er went missing when she was picking herbs the day before and came back very late. The previously cowardly Yue’er was missing and was replaced by a calm and composed young lady.

When she stood up against First Elder and Chu Xianmin, he thought she was wronged and could not hold it back in, but the incidents that happened later were way overboard.

“In the past, Yue’er always thought of Chu Xianmin as her good sister and trusted her very much. Why would she go against her today? Besides, Yue’er is very timid and doesn’t even dare to talk loudly. It’s impossible that she will cut off someone’s arm Also, about the herbs from Zhen Bao Pavilion I’ve never given you silver taels. How did you buy them?” The more Chu Ning spoke, the guiltier he felt; his voice was even trembling.

Initially, he felt that something was not quite right, but everything was questionable upon deeper thought.

Chu Liuyue quietly waited for him to finish talking, before asking softly, “Is there anything else? Other than all of these, do you have any other queries?”

Chu Ning shook his head. Weren’t these suspicions enough?

“I know that I look like I’ve changed into someone else in the past two days, but it’s all with good reason. I don’t care about other people, but I’ll explain it to you clearly since you’re suspicious.” Chu Liuyue held his hands warmly and determinedly. “Come in; I’ll explain it to you in detail.”

Chu Ning subconsciously followed her in.

After Chu Ning sat down, Chu Liuyue closed the door and went to check on the boiling herbs before adding two new ingredients in.

Watching her every move, Chu Ning was more certain of his suspicions.

“I think you’ve roughly guessed that I did meet with some trouble the day I came back late. Chu Xianmin had secretly sent an assassin to kill me.” The moment Chu Liuyue opened her mouth, it shocked Chu Ning so much that he stood up from his seat.

“What?!” He had guessed a tiny bit about what happened, but he did not expect Chu Xianmin to be so cold-blooded to hire an assassin directly.

Chu Liuyue looked at him and nodded seriously. She then explained the incidents that happened after that to him in detail. Of course, she cleverly hid the fact that the original Chu Liuyue had already died and she was a replacement.

She had the original Chu Liuyue’s memories; by mixing in her lies with the truth, there would be no loopholes.

To Chu Ning, he realized that Chu Xianmin had tried to kill Yue’er because of her selfish intentions.

“ So from then on, I saw her true intentions and finally understood that repeated tolerance can never be exchanged for peaceful days. Only when I become stronger will others not bully me.”

Chu Ning did not utter a word for a long time.

“It’s all my fault for being useless” mumbled Chu Ning as he lowered his head defeatedly.

Chu Liuyue shook her head and said, “Father, do you remember the time when I went to the Crown Prince’s birthday party and was bullied by everyone? I came home crying, and you insisted on meeting the Emperor. You stood up for me by getting all of those people to apologize to me. Without you, I would’ve been bullied to no end.”

At that time, Chu Ning’s status was already no longer like before; one could just tell how hard it had been for him to get everyone to apologize.

Even if those people’s attitudes were fake, it was enough to prove that Chu Ning could sacrifice everything for his daughter.

Chu Ning was touched; he raised his head slowly as if in slight disbelief.

Chu Liuyue gave him one last assurance. “Didn’t you tell me that you’ll do your best to protect me if I’m ever bullied, no matter in the past or future? Right?”

Chu Ning’s eyes immediately turned red. He did indeed tell Yue’er that in the past. His voice started to crack. “Yue’er My Yue’er!” The person in front of him was still his daughter!

Chu Liuyue’s eyes started to water.

She always thought of her own father when she looked at Chu Ning. Since she was going to live as Chu Liuyue, she would naturally treat Chu Ning nicely and not let the world have another devastated father.
