Chapter 2225: Lifting the Veil

"That also works. With the Crown Princess and Commander Yan as witnesses, anything is possible."

Ye Bufan had long known that Butler Guan could not produce that many Spirit Stones. The reason he made this request was to make the other party pay a price.

This old fellow had repeatedly caused him trouble. How could he not make him bleed a little?

Lin Sisi naturally stood by his side: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can renege."

Guan Chengfang said, "Crown Princess, Commander Yan, since that's the case, let's begin!"

He was genuinely anxious, fearing that a prolonged delay might lead to complications. If that woman left, Butler Guan would lose all hope of a comeback.

Yan Feng glanced at Ye Bufan: "Dr. Ye, if that's the case, please invite everyone from the medical hall out!"

"Alright!"

Ye Bufan waved to Jiang Fangzhou, signaling him to call everyone, and soon everyone from the medical hall successively came into the main hall.

Seeing Nalan Yujia, Lu Xueman, Hu Yaoyao, and the other women, Lin Sisi sighed inwardly. Any one of these women, pulled out at random, surpassed her in beauty.

Divine Doctor Ye truly had good fortune, to have so many exquisite women by his side.

But thinking about it, it made sense. He was so capable; only such a man could be worthy of such outstanding women.

Guan Chengfang, however, was incredibly nervous. After all, he had staked his entire fortune. He gripped his hands tightly, his palms completely sweaty.

Just then, he caught sight of Chu Lingxi walking out from the back hall, and his eyes immediately lit up, shouting excitedly.

"It's her! She is Princess Situ!"

Following the direction of his finger, everyone's gaze turned over.

Lin Sisi's expression instantly changed drastically. As the Young Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Crown Princess of the Imperial family, she had naturally met Princess Situ, and more than once.

Although the woman in front of her wore a veil, those exquisitely beautiful large eyes and slender figure allowed her to confirm at a glance that this was undoubtedly Princess Situ.

Originally, she was extremely calm, thinking that Guan Chengfang must have made a mistake and that Ye Bufan had victory in his grasp.

But she never expected that Princess Situ was actually here. What exactly was going on?

Since Ye Bufan controlled Situ Dianmo, why did he make her search everywhere for someone?

Was it to distract attention, to cry 'thief' while being the thief? But it didn't seem likely at all!

While her mind was in turmoil, Yan Feng immediately became nervous.

As the Commander of the Imperial Guard, he had also seen Princess Situ's face many times and recognized the identity of the person in front of him as Princess Situ at a glance.

Seeing their reactions, Guan Chengfang confirmed that he had not mistaken her, and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Commander Yan, quickly apprehend him! Quickly apprehend him! It's this fellow named Ye who found someone to impersonate Princess Situ!"

He was so excited now that he felt like he was soaring to the heavens. Whether this woman's identity was real or fake didn't matter; what mattered was that Ye Bufan was finally trampled under his feet.

Yan Feng looked over with a stern expression: "Dr. Ye, what else do you have to say?"

"What do you mean, what else do I have to say?"

Ye Bufan said with an innocent expression, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Guan Chengfang, emboldened, said aggressively: "Young man, you still want to deny it now? The person is right here. Do you still not admit it?"

Ye Bufan said indifferently, "Admit what?"

"Dare you say this isn't Princess Situ?" Guan Chengfang realized he had misspoken and quickly corrected himself, "Even if it's not the real one, you intentionally impersonated her. Otherwise, how could she look exactly the same?"

"Exactly the same? I haven't met Princess Situ. I don't know what you're talking about. This is my younger sister, Chu Lingxi."

Ye Bufan looked at him mockingly and said, "Do you have x-ray vision? My sister is wearing a veil, and you can still tell what she looks like?"

"This…"

Guan Chengfang's expression froze, then he said, "You really won't give up until you see the coffin. Let's see how long you can be stubborn."

Ye Bufan turned to look at Lin Sisi and Yan Feng, "I don't know what Butler Guan is talking about, but this is indeed my younger sister."

Saying that, he beckoned: "Lingxi, come over and greet the Crown Princess and the Commander."

"This commoner greets the Crown Princess, and greets the Commander."

Chu Lingxi stepped forward and bowed to both of them respectively.

"This…"

Lin Sisi's expression subtly changed, revealing a look of doubt.

She had spoken with Princess Situ before and knew her tone and voice were somewhat different from the person in front of her.

Yan Feng was also the same. He politely said, "Miss, would you mind removing your veil?"

Chu Lingxi glanced at Ye Bufan, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Although it's a bit impolite, Butler Guan has already offered his entire mansion as compensation, so just take it off and let them see."

Guan Chengfang had not spoken with the Crown Princess and did not know her accent, but a bad premonition arose in his heart.

For no other reason than Ye Bufan's reaction was too calm, so calm that it made him feel apprehensive.

Just then, Chu Lingxi nodded and reached out to remove the veil from her face.

"This…"

When they saw her appearance, Lin

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Sisi and Yan Feng's eyes both showed a hint of disappointment.

This woman looked extremely similar to Princess Situ; both her eyes and figure were alike. However, after removing the veil, they discovered a significant difference.

To ordinary people, she could be considered a beauty, but compared to Situ Dianmo, she was far inferior.

Her skin wasn't as radiant, there was a small black mole at the corner of her mouth, and her face had several scattered freckles.

At this, Guan Chengfang was completely dumbfounded. He never dreamed that there would be such a huge difference between the woman with and without the veil.

This was no Princess Situ; this was just a passerby.

Ye Bufan said mockingly: "Butler Guan, when do you want me to take over the mansion?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Although she isn't Princess Situ, you intentionally impersonated her!"

Guan Chengfang was already hysterical. He had been tricked into losing everything, with only this mansion left. If he lost that too, he would truly have nothing.

"Impersonate? Butler Guan, are you sure you're not joking?"

Ye Bufan's expression darkened, "My sister has been in the medical hall, never stepping out, since she arrived in the Great Shun Empire. When did she impersonate anyone? And who did she deceive?

Moreover, my sister and I are originally from the Tianfeng Empire. We've never even met Princess Situ, so how can there be any talk of impersonation?"

"I…"

Guan Chengfang was instantly speechless. Only then did he realize that from beginning to end, he was the one who came looking for trouble, and they had done nothing.

Lin Sisi said coldly: "Butler Guan, you're not trying to renege on your debt after losing, are you?"

"I…"

Guan Chengfang opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

He did want to renege, but the witness was the Crown Princess. Could he renege on this debt?

He probably wouldn't even finish speaking before she would directly send people to raid his home.

"I… I… I admit defeat. I'll go back and pack up today, and I'll hand over the mansion tomorrow."

After saying these few words, Guan Chengfang instantly deflated like a punctured ball, and his whole person seemed to have aged ten years.

Yan Feng sighed, but he couldn't help with such matters.

Since this woman had no relation to Princess Situ, and recalling Prince Kaoshan's earlier entrustment, he had no reason to stay here.

"Princess Situ, Divine Doctor Ye, it turns out it was a misunderstanding. Then I shall take my leave."

After saying that, he and Guan Chengfang left the medical hall together.

After they left, Lin Sisi said, "Divine Doctor Ye, tomorrow I will send someone to help you receive Butler Guan's mansion."
