"Get out! All of you, get out of my sight!"

King Xiao was in a state of extreme frustration and did not notice that the voice was Chu Yun's. He smashed a teacup in front of Chu Yun with a 'bang'.

Chu Yun's scream brought Xiao Wang back to his senses.

"Yoona, are you alright? Why is it you?"

King Xiao suppressed his anger and then stepped forward to embrace Chu Yun with concern.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? Who made you so angry?"

After being led to a seat by Prince Xiao, Chu Yun asked with lingering fear.

The way Xiao Wang looked just now was terrifying. She caught a glimpse of his profile, and it looked like he was about to devour someone.

She had always seen Xiao Wang treat her with gentle tenderness, rarely with such fierceness and terror.

"It's Chu Yan! I saw her on the street today, being all lovey-dovey with a man. They've only been divorced for a short time, and she's already so promiscuous! This woman is truly shameless!"

King Xiao did not hide anything and recounted his encounter with Chu Yan that day with a gloomy face.

"elder sister?"

Chu Yun asked in confusion, and seeing the angry expression on Xiao Wang's face, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Even though Chu Yan has already divorced Prince Xiao, why is Prince Xiao still so angry when he sees Chu Yan with someone else?

Was it that Prince Xiao still harbored feelings for Chu Yan, or had he truly fallen in love with her?

If it's true...

Chu Yun bit her lower lip, feeling fear and resentment rising in her heart.

It seems that even if they divorce, she still has to find a way to get rid of Chu Yan, otherwise it will be troublesome if Prince Xiao realizes that he has fallen in love with Chu Yan.

Then, she looked tenderly at Prince Xiao.

“Your Highness, my sister is, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Chu family. Even if she is divorced, many men would still be willing to marry her because of her family background. Unlike me, she comes from a humble background and cannot offer Your Highness much help. It's all Yun'er's fault for being useless…”

"Yun'er, what did you say? You are not allowed to belittle yourself like that. All Chu Yan has to offer is her family background. If I hadn't been attracted to her family background, I would not have married her."

When King Xiao saw Chu Yun's remorseful expression, he couldn't help but comfort her with heartache, and Chu Yan's jealousy immediately dissipated.

Seeing this, Chu Yun sighed again, "It's just a pity that with such a good family background, my sister can no longer help the prince. If only I could switch places with my sister, switch places... Your Highness, Yun'er has thought of something!"

Halfway through his sentence, Chu Yun feigned surprise and looked at King Xiao.

What's on your mind?

King Xiao looked at Chu Yun with a puzzled expression.

"When Yoona went to a temple to burn incense a while ago, she met a mysterious itinerant doctor who saw a disfigured woman seeking his help."

The quack doctor said he could peel off the skin of a recently deceased person and exchange it with hers, so she could have that person's face from then on.

"Face swapping? Such a thing exists? I've only ever heard of disguise techniques, and even in the Great Liang, very few people know them. Is this face swapping real or fake?"

Upon hearing this, King Xiao immediately looked at Chu Yun with great surprise and asked.

"At first, I had the same suspicions as the prince. So, I secretly followed him to see what was going on. I saw that the woman had found a beautiful woman who had recently died and asked the itinerant doctor to help her switch places."

About two hours later, when the woman reappeared, she had the face of the dead woman. Yoona thought this itinerant doctor was quite capable, so she asked him for his address and name.

As Chu Yun spoke, he secretly glanced at King Xiao's expression.

King Xiao remained silent, his thoughts wandering, as if he were pondering something.

So Chu Yun tentatively sighed, "If only I could exchange faces with a living person. If I could exchange faces with my sister and become the eldest daughter of the Chu family, I would definitely make the Chu family do everything in its power to help the prince."

"Why can't a living person be swapped?"

Just as Chu Yun finished speaking, King Xiao decisively took over his words.

At this moment, his eyes flashed with a hint of malice as he sneered, "Yun'er, you're right. Yan'er comes from such a good family; others must be coveting her too."

Rather than letting someone else benefit from her, it's better to keep her as my person. However, since she doesn't know what's good for her, then let her use her face.

"Yoona, this face transplant must be very painful. I'm afraid it will be unfair to you."

"Yoona is not afraid of pain. As long as it can help Your Highness, Yoona can endure this little bit of pain."

Chu Yun was overjoyed to see that King Xiao had this idea.

Actually, she had encountered that strange itinerant doctor by chance some time ago.

At the time, the itinerant doctor was seriously injured and begged her to save her. She was unwilling to meddle, but the itinerant doctor suddenly revealed his skills.

She said that as long as she agreed to save him, he would be willing to do anything for her.

Driven by curiosity, Chu Yun rescued the itinerant doctor. Later, in order to verify his abilities, she found a disfigured woman to conduct an experiment on.

When the results came out, the face-swapping effect amazed her.

She had been hesitant about how to tell Prince Xiao about this, but unexpectedly, the opportunity came today.

"Alright, then Yun'er, summon that itinerant doctor over so I can see him. If he's sure it's possible, have him swap your face with Chu Yan's, making you the legitimate daughter of the Chu family. Then I'll bring you back from the Chu family with a grand wedding procession!"

King Xiao said without hesitation.

Since Chu Yan is now ungrateful, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless. Rather than letting Chu Yan marry another man, he would rather let her switch faces with Chu Yun.

Once Chu Yan becomes Chu Yun, he will imprison her forever in his backyard, making her regret her betrayal.

Soon, King Xiao met the itinerant doctor that Chu Yun had mentioned.

He was an old man with disheveled hair covering his face, and a pair of hawk-like eyes that looked murky and deep.

After a brief conversation with the old man, Xiao Wang found him to be calm, confident, and trusting. Xiao Wang immediately made his decision.

After he captured Chu Yan, he made him switch faces with Chu Yun.

"But Your Highness, how can we get my sister to come over? She hates us to the core now, so I'm sure she won't see us if we try to arrange a meeting with her."

After the agreement was reached, a worried look returned to Chu Yun's face.

King Xiao frowned slightly. "She certainly won't accept my invitation, and this face-changing technique needs to be performed in a secluded place, without letting anyone know."

Even his royal residence couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't be leaked, so he had to go outside.

As for how to get her to come out, King Xiao frowned and pondered for a while before slowly revealing a determined look.

"Isn't she the one who cares most about her family and friends? I won't use my status to ask her out. Instead, I'll have someone kidnap her defenseless mother."

She is very filial; she will definitely come.
