I just want to live a good life

Chapter 549 Create another one

Just as Su Nuan was guessing the identity of the fake Xun Zheng, Xiao Qionghua gave her the answer.

"She and Leng Yue were both created by me as 'Xun Zheng'. One was to deal with Xun Yu, and the other was to deal with the Crown Prince. One was very effective, but the other was ineffective."

Having said that, Xiao Qionghua looked at Su Nuan with an unfriendly look, as if to say that the ineffectiveness was caused by her.

The day before, Su Nuan had learned from the fake Xun Zheng that she was the one who caused the Xun family to be wiped out with nine generations of the clan, so she thought of her as the one who had received the miraculous effect as mentioned by Xiao Qionghua. The other one who had no effect was naturally Leng Yue.

Leng Yue's initial target was Mu Yunting. Perhaps Mu Yunting saw through her identity as not Xun Zheng at the first sight, so she fabricated an identity for herself as Xun Yu's daughter who was raised outside.

But this doesn't make sense. Since the first fake Xun Zheng was so useful, why did Xiao Qionghua create a Leng Yue?

"What is the true identity of the fake Xun Zheng? How did you create her?"

Su Nuan asked the biggest question in her mind first.

"You just talked so much with her yesterday, didn't she tell you?"

"She just said that she wanted to use you as a scapegoat to clear her name, and then she could be her Crown Princess in peace."

"She ruined my plan and still wants to be the Crown Princess. It's her daydream."

Xiao Qionghua was a little excited.

Su Nuan took the opportunity to ask, "What plan did she ruin for you?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"The fake Xun Zheng has been imprisoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if you don't tell her, she will confess. You might as well tell me and kill time."

"That idiot, she just ignored everything when she met the Crown Prince. It's a waste of all my efforts in training her."

"She is your daughter?"

Su Nuan remembered Xun Zheng's condescending look when she talked about her identity, and suddenly asked.

"Bah, who the hell is she? How can she be my daughter?"

"So how did you turn her into Xun Zheng?"

Xiao Qionghua smiled bitterly and replied, "I had her enter the Xun Mansion in place of a distant relative of the Xun family, hoping to get him close to Xun Yu and use him as a pawn for me. But she was captivated the moment she met the Crown Prince at the Xun Mansion. She begged me to help her achieve her wish, so I replaced her face. I never imagined she would not only want to replace Xun Zheng, but also get rid of me. If I hadn't pulled away in time nine years ago, I'm afraid I would have been ruined by her."

Changed his face, replaced Xun Zheng, got rid of her...

Su Nuan understood after a moment's thought and asked in surprise, "So she accused Xun Yu of colluding with Fan Liren. That Fan Liren is you?"

Xiao Qionghua gave her an affirmative look.

Thinking about how she had almost been killed by this woman several times, Su Nuan couldn't help but feel a pang of fear. She said, "This woman is so cruel! Have you never thought about seeking revenge on her in these nine years?"

"After the Xun family's misfortune, she went into hiding, hoping to find the Crown Prince. With a face identical to Xun Zheng's, her ambition was to become the Crown Princess. But she knew I wasn't dead and wouldn't let her have her way. She's been hiding from me all these years, plotting how to get back to the Crown Prince."

"She hid from you, so you created 'Xun Zheng' to fill the void in the prince's heart. Is this person Leng Yue?"

"Yes, I also gave Leng Yue the identity of an oiran. Unfortunately, when I was replacing Leng Yue's face, I couldn't remember the details of Xun Zheng's face. That face was only 80% similar to Xun Zheng. The prince saw through her at first sight and knew she was not Xun Zheng. Leng Yue had no choice but to make up a story about Xun Yu secretly keeping a concubine. Of course, this story was already in my mind."

Su Nuanxin said that this Xiao Qionghua and the fake Xun Zheng were the same, both of them were vicious enough. It was abominable that the fake Xun Zheng crossed the river and then destroyed the bridge, and this Xiao Qionghua was not a good person either, as he could actually think of using fakes to fight fakes.

She made Leng Yue into the second fake Xun Zheng and appeared in front of the prince first. If she could successfully replace Xun Zheng's position, all the efforts of the fake Xun Zheng over the years would be in vain. Even if she jumped out and said that Leng Yue was fake, she would not be able to prove that she was real. At that time, the prince would inevitably check who was real and who was fake when facing the two Xun Zhengs. Regardless of whether he could find out or not, the prince's first impression of the fake Xun was "unreal". With such an impression, the prince would definitely find out that both of them were fakes after a long time.

Killing someone is like destroying their heart. The fake Xun Zheng did so many things to become the prince's beloved woman, but in the end it was all in vain. That feeling may be more painful to her than killing her.

Besides, Leng Yue is also a miserable person. She only looks 80% like Xun Zheng but appears in front of the prince, and she is a top courtesan. All this is just to destroy the beautiful memories of Xun Zheng in the prince's heart.

Su Nuan still remembered Leng Yue's strange behavior during those few days when she appeared. It seemed as if she couldn't wait to show Mu Yunting her miserable life in Wanjin Tower, as if she was afraid that Mu Yunting would forget her identity as the most beautiful woman in Wanjin Tower. She wanted to use her helpless identity to make the prince pity her while also looking down on her.

"Did Leng Yue's connection with Prince Guangping also benefit you?"

Su Nuan asked.

"Of course, she told me about how Prince Guangping helped the fake Xun Zheng to harm you, so I knew that the fake Xun Zheng was able to hide for so long because Prince Guangping was protecting her. Prince Guang'an was also Xun Zheng's admirer back then. I heard that in order to save Xun Zheng's life, he even ran to ask the emperor to grant him and Xun Zheng a marriage after the Xun family got into trouble. In the end, his request failed and he was finally exiled to Xiaomian County by the emperor. The fake Xun Zheng was determined to become the crown princess, and Prince Guang'an loved her but couldn't get her. I asked Leng Yue to seduce him, which was also a great help in getting rid of the fake Xun Zheng. Unfortunately..."

She didn't say what she regretted, but Su Nuan knew that what she regretted was that Prince Guangping was completely devoted to the fake Xun Zheng, and was hypocritical in responding to Leng Yue's seduction, and even wanted to use Leng Yue to lure out her, the mastermind behind the scenes.
