"Our Zhu Family raised you for over a decade, even lost a life because of you, treating you like a treasured daughter. What more do you want that you'd harm us?"
Zhu Liqun's tone grew increasingly angry.
His gaze upon Zhu Xinyue held not a trace of warmth, as if he looked upon an enemy.
"Father believes I'm the one who revealed secrets to the Princess?"
Zhu Xinyue looked at Zhu Liqun with complex eyes.
She had wanted to explain, but facing his disappointed gaze, she felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat, and many words could not come out.
"Who else could it be if not you? It's true, one cannot grow familiar with a child that's not one's own."
Because he was so angry, Zhu Liqun said some things without even thinking them through.
Listening to these words, Zhu Xinyue felt as if her heart was pricked by countless needles.
