Chapter 604 The Fake Guo Miaomiao
Du Mingxian stared at her, scrutinizing her. "You sneaked in from outside tonight. Who helped you get in?"
"Of course it's me. I have important news to tell you. Answer me quickly, did the magistrate go to arrest someone?"
"Yes, but how did you know? This matter is absolutely confidential; very few people know about it. Even the people who serve me don't know the details. How could you know with such certainty that he went out to arrest someone?"
Although she was speaking, she was always on guard. Now that she had spoken, Guo Miaomiao could not leave today. If the news got out, it would be extremely detrimental to Ling Silang and the others' operations.
Guo Miaomiao's expression changed. "Yes, yes, that's it."
You can't judge a book by its cover. Even though they saved Guo Miaomiao before, it's hard to guarantee that this person won't betray them behind their backs.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Guo Miaomiao shook her head repeatedly, "I didn't mean to do anything. I just wanted to tell you that my father, who has done all sorts of bad things and is utterly wicked, has loaded a lot of explosives and said he's going to blow up the Imperial Envoy and the Lord, and that he's going to destroy their foundation so that they can't live either."
Du Mingxian's hand on the table tightened little by little. "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"
“What else could it be? I was saved by you and I was determined to go back to the Guo family to take revenge. Although I didn’t grow up in the Guo family, I did live there and am familiar with the environment. I sneaked into the Guo family and saw a man talking to my grandmother who always pretends to be dead.”
“The man said he was unfilial, but my grandmother said it was all her fault that I died and that she had let the man down.”
"After a while, I figured out some things and realized that... my father had faked his death. I didn't dare to go out at the time, so I ran back to the mansion. After I came back, I couldn't calm down and wanted to go find him to ask him clearly, but before I could go, I went to see the magistrate first."
"I was looking for Madam, but she's not here. I can only look for the adults first. I feel something's wrong with them. How can someone who's been dead for over ten years suddenly come back to life without some kind of conspiracy?"
"After talking with the lord, he sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of my father who died young. We discussed it, and I said I was willing to try to contact him. The lord agreed, and I left the manor to go find my father."
At first, Du Mingxian didn't think anything of it, but the more she listened, the more something seemed off. "You...you're telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you, Madam?"
"Then explain to me why you, who were already dead in front of outsiders, suddenly came back to life and ran to your father who died young, didn't your father ask you why?"
“I said I wasn’t quite dead back then. I woke up after being thrown into a mass grave and crawled out of the pile of corpses. I barely survived. I heard that it was those two people from the Guo family who harmed me. I felt terrible and wanted to go back to take revenge. That’s when I saw him.”
Guo Miaomiao spoke without a trace of lying, as if it were the truth.
But Du Mingxian still felt something was off. "Your father believed that?"
“I believe it, why wouldn’t I believe it? I’m his daughter.”
Du Mingxian sneered, "If your father really cared about your existence, he would have been helping you in secret long ago. Why would he watch you live such a hard life? Besides... we saved you back then entirely because of that secret you knew. Without that secret, how could we have trusted you?"
"You told us the secret, and we saved you. We're even now. But you've told me such a big secret, such a huge favor. How can I ever repay you?"
Guo Miaomiao was slightly taken aback, a barely perceptible hint of unease flashing in her eyes. "Although this is a secret and a great favor, I was saved by you after all. It's nothing to give you some information. Besides, I don't want to see the adults die."
"Thank you so much." After saying that, Du Mingxian suddenly lunged forward with incredible speed, reaching out her hand. Guo Miaomiao was slightly taken aback, but reacted instantly and attacked Du Mingxian.
The two started fighting in the room. Xia Yu, who was guarding the door outside, heard the commotion and rushed in. She saw that Du Mingxian had already been subdued by Guo Miaomiao, and she sighed inwardly.
Madam is so capable; even they have no chance to use their talents while being by her side.
Seeing this, Xia Yu turned around and grabbed a rope. Soon, the person was tied up. Du Mingxian sat in a chair and looked at Guo Miaomiao, who was tied up. "Xia Yu, I feel uncomfortable seeing her face. Go and tear it off."
Xia Yu reached out upon hearing the order, and Guo Miaomiao screamed in fright, "No, no, you can't tear my face! You need to use medicine to do that! You can't do this! Do you know who I am?"
"stop."
Xia Yu stopped, turned around and looked at Du Mingxian with a puzzled expression.
Du Mingxian stood up and walked step by step to Guo Miaomiao. "You are not Guo Miaomiao. The mask on your face is glued on. If you don't wash it off with the special medicine, you will be disfigured after you tear it off, right?"
"No, don't tear me apart. I'll tell you what I mean. If you dare to hurt me, my father will not forgive you. You dare not offend me."
Father emperor?
Their identity seems to be extraordinary, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Du Mingxian reached out and pinched her face. The fake Guo Miaomiao was so nervous that she even held her breath and dared not move.
“If you tell the truth, I might let you go. If you don’t tell the truth… you’re useless to me, so I’ll just kill you. You deserve to die.”
“I will talk, I will talk! I am Princess Dharva! You cannot kill me! If anything happens to me, your father will not forgive you!”
Du Mingxian sneered as she stood up and sat back down in her chair, her eyes cold. "Xia Yu, kill her. Let's see if her father can stop us."
"Yes." Xia Yu took out a dagger and walked towards her. Princess Tapo kept shaking her head, "No, no, you can't do this to me, you can't kill me."
"Now that you are a prisoner, I can control your life and death. Besides, do you think I'd believe you just because you say you're a Dharma princess? Your Dharmas are in Da Shun, which is far away from here. Do you really think I'm ignorant?"
"No, no, I'm telling the truth. I came with my father, and I was also sent here to complete a mission."
"Then tell me properly what your mission is. If you say something wrong, I'll kill you on the spot. By the time your so-called father comes looking for you, your corpse will probably already be fed to the dogs. There's nothing to worry about."
"I'll say it, I'm willing to say it."
Du Mingxian's demeanor changed instantly, her tone sharp, "Speak."
"They made me impersonate Guo Miaomiao to come in, to trick you into leaving, and they want to use you to threaten them."
