Chapter 938: Usurping the Throne

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lan Ruozhu typically listened to the princess’s policies and strategies. One would say the princess was the most capable person in the country instead of being just a decoration.

Therefore, Lan Ruozhu conferred Su Binglan the title of honorable princess. Many rumors circulated about Su Binglan, saying she had the highest reputation among the people. Nonetheless, no one should provoke her.

Still, the Ye family found it hard to believe that Su Binglan was the princess. Although she looked too young to be so capable, she possessed a noble aura. She even showed a sense of deterrence that made it impossible for the family not to believe her.

Moreover, Su Binglan displayed formidable martial arts skills. Even six people were no match for her. Even so, the family suspected Su Binglan was a fake.

Ye Shishan glanced at his father meaningfully, and the great elder said, “We know that the princess is in the capital, not here in the south.”

Su Binglan raised her brows. “Are you doubting my identity and this token?”

The great elder responded, “We’ve never heard of Her Highness going anywhere alone.”

He refused to admit it and did not want the young lady to support Ye Feiran.

‘What does she mean by future sister-in-law? Feiran only has a close relationship with a commoner and not a noble person.

‘I even tasked one of my men to investigate that commoner but could never figure out where he learned to cook so well. Even so, does a noble person know how to cook so well?’

Su Binglan asked coldly, “Is that so? What would you do if I were the real princess? You didn’t bow when I appeared and even spoke to me so rudely. You’re bold for disrespecting me.”

Although her voice was faint, it carried a sense of intimidating authority. A few family members even felt a chill run down their spines.

They felt a genuine fear toward the young lady before them, thinking she might be who she said she was. After all, no one dared to imitate the princess. Still, the great elder refused to believe Su Binglan.

He shouted, “Get her! She’s a fake!”

The formidable great elder and Ye Shishan attacked Su Binglan. After watching several of their moves, Su Binglan knew they were hiding their skills. However, they were no match for her.

Ye Shishan even resorted to using parasites against Su Binglan. After making a move, she sent out a signal flair, and the government officials in the Southern Prefecture rushed to the Ye family’s residence with their men.

Su Binglan even subdued some of the Ye family members.

The officials saw her token and paled. Immediately after, they knelt and lowered their heads respectfully. They had received orders from the Imperial Court and knew the princess had gone to the south in disguise.

In addition, the officials had to memorize what the token looked like and could not be mistaken.

“Please forgive us for arriving late, Your Highness.”

The Ye family members turned pale when they saw the government officials kneeling before Su Binglan. The family’s legs went weak as they dropped to their knees.

“How can this be? She really is the princess.”

“Her Highness even called Feiran her future sister-in-law. Does that mean Feiran will become a dignitary?”

“I would’ve supported Feiran if I had known that sooner. I wouldn’t have disrespected her like that earlier.”

The family had just helped the great elder and even joined him in mocking Su Binglan. They thought they were about to die after finding out that she was the actual princess.

Even Ye Feiran’s parents were in an excited daze. After all, their daughter could soon become royalty. They even wondered if the princess was their benefactor’s daughter.

Ye Shishan and the great elder were no match for Su Binglan. She had even crippled them, rendering them unable to continue using martial arts. She then gathered her subordinates and told them to interrogate him and the great elder.

Through rigorous interrogation, Su Shijiu found out some things and reported them to Su Binglan, “Ye Shishan has colluded with Thundercloud Castle and the Miao family. Someone in the Miao family wants to usurp the throne.”

Su Binglan was shocked. “Who wants to usurp the throne?!”

“It seems to be the man the Miao family had once saved. Thundercloud Castle once discovered an iron mine. They then forged weapons and killed the Thundercloud Castle’s owner.”

Su Binglan knew Lei Tongtong was the owner’s daughter and that he regarded Gongsun Mo as his own. At that time, the castle lord had planned to pass the throne to Gongsun Mo and let him marry Lei Tongtong.

Not too long ago, Su Binglan had found a parasite within Lei Tongtong’s body, similar to what she had seen in Ji Zhengjing. As she expected, the Miao family had something to do with it.

Su Binglan ordered, “Let’s deal with those useless scum!”

Since Ye Shishan and the others intended to usurp the throne, Su Binglan would kill them. Ye Fieran paled when she found out about it. Her entire family would have died if she had not known Su Wenwu and Su Binglan.

Since discovering the truth, Su Binglan only spared whoever was innocent within the Ye family. She then arranged for her subordinates to infiltrate Thundercloud Castle and control its every move.

“Master, do you need me to deal with those from the castle?”

“Don’t do anything for now, and don’t let the Miao family agitate you.” Su Binglan even prepared to bring Ji Zhengjing back to Su Teng Village. After helping to recover her father’s memories, she would follow Luo Jin’an to the Miao family.

Su Binglan thought she needed to ask Maio Zhizhi a few things before taking action. After all, the latter should know more about the Miao family. It was also much easier to deal with the Ye family.

Ye Feiran had seen her family’s true colors and showed her decisive side. She disowned most of her family members and took her rightful role as the family’s head.

She only kept those who were loyal to her and whoever she could trust. No matter how much the others begged, she remained unmoved. After all, they did not show her and her parents any mercy just now.

Ye Feiran knew she had to be strong to protect those closest to her. Moreover, she wanted to handle her family matters so that she could return to Su Teng Village with Su Wenwu as soon as possible.

After all, she knew Su Wenwu missed his parents very much. He was apprehensive when he found out what had happened to the Ye family. Therefore, he had been accompanying Ye Feiran over the past few days as she dealt with her family members.

Even Ji Zhengjing was shocked that Su Binglan had dealt with the Ye family so quickly.aChapter 938: Usurping the Throne
