Chapter 279: My Princess Has Over a Thousand Ways to Kill You
Qi Yu continued to speak to Song Yuerou in a low voice as they walked, "Liu Murou is a clever person. She made two preparations for today."
This time, without waiting for Song Yuerou to ask, she went on to explain, "After confirming that I didn’t drink that cup of wine, she pretended to come to me and expose Madam Liu’s scheme. However, if she found that I had drunk that cup of wine, she certainly would have kept silent."
Song Yuerou was startled upon hearing this, not expecting such a simple matter to conceal so many hidden intricacies.
Only now did she understand what Qi Yu meant by not offending either side.
Liu Murou aimed to take this opportunity to suppress the Liu Family mother and daughter, but she also needed to determine first whether the Princess Consort could be of help to her.
Therefore, before the banquet ended, she kept silent just like the Liu Family mother and daughter, sitting in a high seat and watching Qi Yu’s actions.
It was only after she realized that Qi Yu hadn’t drunk that cup of wine that she was convinced this person could help her, and then she brought up the scheme that Qi Yu had already seen through.
If Liu Murou was truly disdainful of the Liu Family mother and daughter’s actions and intended to save her, she would have certainly tried to remind her before the banquet began.
Not wait until everything was set in stone, and then put on such a pretense.
Song Yuerou’s expression turned a few degrees colder, "I never imagined that Liu Murou and the Liu Family mother and daughter were all so dark-hearted!"
