TFDC Chapter 25.1

Chapter 25.1 - To gain his favour




Xiahou Liuyun’s mouth corner tugged, and pointed towards Lou Lianxin.


“Did she tell you that Lou Qingwu stole her bracelet and caused her maidservant to die?”


“Ye-yes.” Countess of Chaoxia froze, what did that have to do with being used as a weapon?


Furthermore, how did Brother Liuyun know?


The contempt in Xiahou Liuyun’s eyes grew deeper.


“Then did Yiren little sister know what your seventh brother saw at the Lou residence today/”


At the same time, the noble women and girls who were standing not too far away couldn’t help but perk up their ears and listen.


Xiahou Liuyun’s eyes swept towards Lou Lianxin’s questioning eyes which quickly became agitated as she began to twist her hands around.


He laughed strangely as he purposely raised his voice, letting those outside of the Vermillion Bird gate listen.


“Today, your seventh brother and your second brother accidentally walked past the left prime minister’s residence. Originally, we were just going to ask for some tea to drink but we accidentally walked to the wrong place and then coincidentally saw this Lou family’s second miss blame her legitimate sister for stealing her bracelet. In the end, the item wasn’t found in her rooms but found on the body of her servant girl.”


He clicked his tongue. “At that time, you didn’t see how this second miss’ face changed immediately. Furthermore, she threatened her maidservant that if she let anything slip, she’d harm her younger brother. Does anyone want to refute what this prince just said?”


The last question was directed at Lou Lianxin.


Everyone turned to look at Lou Lianxin and at this time, they didn’t focus on how the seventh prince “accidentally” witnessed the event, but whether or not the events were true.


If it was true, then this Lou Lianxin was too vicious.


Not only did she ruin her sister’s reputation all those years ago, she then framed her sister for theft when she just came back to the residence.


To these simple and honest citizens of Dongyu, this was morally reprehensible.


“What?! Lian’er little sister, didn’t you tell this countess that it was your big sister who schemed against Dong Mei and beat her to death?!”


Countess of Chaoxia’s face was terrifyingly dark.


Lou Lianxin was flustered.


How did she know that such a secretive thing would be known to the seventh prince?!


She shook her head, distracted as she pulled at the countess’ sleeve.


“Countess, you, you have to believe Lian’er. I … I didn’t …”


“Aiyo, does this mean you think that this prince is falsely accusing you?”


“No, this subject-girl didn’t …”


“Didn’t what?!” Xiahou Liuyun shouted, frightening Lou Lianxin.


“You didn’t frame your legitimate sister or you didn’t let your maidservant be your scapegoat and admit to the crime? Your maidservant was still begging for you up until the moment she died and you, second miss, didn’t even soften your heart once! Of course, if Yiren little sister still doesn’t believe it, you can ask second brother because second brother would never lie to anyone.”


Xiahou Liuyun finished speaking and everyone turned to look at Xiahou Rui.


This whole time, he was completely silent but his otherworldly aura made him hard to ignore.


This second prince’s personality was cold and indifferent but he was also held in high regards by the emperor.


So he was a very likely candidate for crown-prince and these people normally sucked up to him a lot.


At this time, hearing the seventh prince mention the second prince, they couldn’t help but take a second look.


The normally proud and lofty noble girls also sneakily peeked at him too, and seeing Xiahou Rui’s handsome face, their faces reddened.


This time, they had entered the palace because they heard that the empress was considering choosing a consort for the second prince.


If they were lucky enough to be chosen, they could also become the crown princess very soon.


Thinking about this, they all secretly tugged and pulled at their clothes and hair ornaments, thinking that it’d be great if the second prince only just looked at them once.


Xiahou Rui didn’t think that Xiahou Liuyun would be able to direct everyone’s attention to him with only a phrase and his brows imperceptibly furrowed.


His steady eyes carelessly moved from the girl who hadn’t spoke a word since Xiahou Liuyun had started speaking.


He looked deeply at her before moving his eyes away, his thin lips slightly opening, “Everything that Liuyun said, is true.”


Those simple six words nailed Lou Lianxin’s coffin shut.

TL note


Xiahou Liuyun witnesses a lot of things “accidentally” ha.

Also I lied about the new novel, it turns out that a novel I liked hasn't been updated for a long time so there might be a possibility that I'll pick that up instead. Sorry for making you guys go through with that poll and me not going through with it!!! OTL

Update: I've decided to translate a modern romance story revolving around an online game. The main leads are also in the entertainment circle so there's a bit of acting involved in there too. The female lead's super shameless and narcissistic, to a fault honestly. But it's a light and easy read and there are updates every two days!


Link to the intro for more info and then link to the contents page to start reading!

  1. Man. This shows the power of royalty. Although what they said was the truth. But anything they say can be the truth even if it was false. :/ being born into royalty has so much power. XD

    1. Yeah, you have to read the stories where the female lead transmigrates into a poor farmer girl or someone who's a business person. The status difference means that they can't even talk back and sometimes even struggle to make ends meet 😔😔
