Chapter 226 The Truth Revealed (Part Two)

The people from the second and third wives took a deep breath, their eyes filled with utter shock.

Fang Yi's heart pounded as she looked at Bo Yuheng.

Sure enough, she guessed right.

The woman sitting on the ground was indeed Bo Yuanshan's lover.

Judging from Ning Xin'er's words, she had been living in the Bo family for a long time.

Therefore, it's impossible for Bo Yuheng not to know her.

Fang Yi was slightly stunned, her eyes showing a mixture of confusion and inexplicable anger.

Bo Yuheng seems to care a lot about this woman.

Could it be that he also had feelings for her?

Thinking of this, Fang Yi was so angry that she almost bit her lip.

Ning Wanzhen looked up in shock, her eyes red and her brows furrowed with boundless anger.

She slowly raised her right hand, pointing at Ning Xin'er, her fingers trembling, "Xin'er, you..."

Ning Xin'er took two steps toward Sang Yuwan, her eyes filled with contempt. "Sang Yuwan, tell me, am I right?"

Sang Yuwan's eyes were dark and her face was cold and indifferent. "You said she's a member of the Bo family. Others may not know, but your second uncle should know very well. You might as well ask him."

This sentence was like a hand grenade, thrown heavily into Bo Yuheng's arms.

All eyes turned to him.

A wave of panic washed over Fang Yi, her fingertips almost piercing her palms. Her lips turned pale.

Bo Yuheng's gaze darkened, becoming increasingly sinister.

He looked at Bo Qingmei, who was sitting against the pillar, her temples bulging.

Bo Qingmei just raised her head.

Their eyes met.

Bo Qingmei slightly curved the corner of her lips, as if she were smiling.

Seeing this, Fang Yi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She frowned, gritting her teeth, "Master, the head of the family is asking you a question!"

Bo Yuheng turned his gaze, his expression cold and intimidating.

Fang Yi shivered, took a deep breath, and quickly turned her head away.

The issue of Sang Yuwan was passed on to Bo Yuheng, but he did not relax his efforts. Instead, he gave Xiansi a wink.

Xiansi nodded to her.

Sang Yuwan pursed her lips, a faint smile playing at the corners. Her eyes were unfathomable.

Bo Yuheng remained silent, and everyone's tension grew even stronger, with almost everyone holding their breath.

Fang Yi's emotions fluctuated as she stared intently at Bo Qingmei, her eyes practically spitting fire.

She took a deep breath and spoke again, "Master, you..."

"Try saying another word." Bo Yuheng's face was gloomy, the veins on his forehead bulged inch by inch, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Fang Yi stomped her foot angrily and gritted her teeth.

Seeing this, Sang Yuwan gave a cool smile and said, "Second Uncle, whether it is or isn't, just say so."

Bo Yuheng's eyes darkened, his face turning ashen. He looked at Bo Qingmei and said in a low voice, "No."

Fang Yi looked at him in disbelief, her anger growing stronger.

A woman's innate intuition.

She felt that Bo Yuheng had lied.

Ning Xin'er's eyelids twitched violently, and her face instantly turned bright red. "Aren't you just lying through your teeth?"

Bo Yuheng's face was cold, his eyes fierce like a wild beast. "Insolence! You dog!"

Ning Xin'er's heart skipped a beat, a surge of anger shooting from her feet to the top of her head, her face turning a deep red that seemed about to bleed. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she lost all reason.

She walked up to Bo Qingmei, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from the ground.

Xiansi quickly grabbed Bo Qingmei's other arm.

Bo Qingmei pursed her lips, straightened her back with all her might, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Ning Xin'er pulled her closer to Bo Yuheng.

Xian Si frowned.

Ning Xin'er exerted too much force, and Bo Qingmei took two steps forward.

"Bo Yuheng, open your dog eyes and look carefully. Who exactly is she?"

Bo Yuheng's face was gloomy, and he angrily rebuked,

Ning Xin'er's eyes widened, her chest heaving violently. She stared at Bo Yuheng's dark and gloomy face, raising her voice.

"You really don't recognize her? She's your sister... Bo Qingmei..."

She uttered that last name, word by word, biting it out between her teeth.

"Bo Qingmei?!" Fang Yi's breath hitched, and she took two steps back. "She is Bo Qingmei!"

"No way. Wasn't Bo Qingmei dead?" Some people from the second and third branches of the family vaguely knew something about Bo Qingmei. Upon hearing this, they were all shocked.

Such a sentence, like a sudden storm, instantly swept through every corner of the ancestral hall.

Like a silent earthquake, it caused everyone's breathing to vibrate violently, making it difficult to calm down.

The ancestral hall, filled with the scent of incense, fell into a moment of quiet stillness.

Wisps of smoke rose gently, like thin gauze dancing slowly in the air. They burst forth from the incense burner, carrying a faint woody or herbal aroma. With the gentle breeze, the fragrance permeated the air, and the temperature inexplicably dropped a few degrees.

Sizzle—

Even the slightest sound of incense popping could be clearly heard.

Time seemed to stand still. The world before my eyes had lost its former color and vitality, becoming blurry and distant.

Bo Yuheng's heart clenched suddenly, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Pain and shock intertwined, making it almost impossible to breathe. A chill ran down his spine and straight to the top of his head, making every inch of his skin feel an unprecedented shock.

Ning Wanzhen, kneeling on the ground, felt a sharp pain in her eardrums, and her vision went black instantly. She gripped the edge of the prayer mat tightly with both hands to keep from falling.

Then, an indescribable sense of confusion began to spread. My body trembled involuntarily, my hands clenched into fists, my nails digging deep into my palms, yet I felt no pain. Tears welled up in my eyes, not from sadness, but from this sudden, ineffable shock.

At that moment, a pang of regret arose in her heart.

We should have listened to Sang Yuwan and not kept Ning Xin'er.

This Ning Xin'er is a menace.

Once Bo Qingmei's background is exposed, Bo Xingzhi's background will also be revealed.

If the Bo family finds out that Bo Xingzhi is not her son, not only will she lose face, but the eldest branch of the family will also likely lose everything they hold.

According to the Bo family rules, illegitimate children have no right to inherit anything.

Ning Wanzhen took two deep breaths, her vision still blurry.

She looked at Sang Yuwan, her facial muscles twitching. "Patriarch, Xin'er is making things up. Please punish her severely according to family rules."

"Auntie!" Ning Xin'er cried out.

Ning Wanzhen gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger. "I don't have a niece like you. After this punishment, get as far away from me as possible."

Ning Xin'er's eyes narrowed, her face contorted with rage. "Auntie, the truth will always come out eventually. Some things can be kept secret for a while, but not forever."

She paused, looked at Bo Qingmei, and then spoke again, "Everyone, take a good look at this face. Doesn't anyone think my cousin looks a lot like her?"

Bo Qingmei's heart also began to experience a storm.

Fear, panic, and helplessness surged in like a tide, as if she were being swept into an endless vortex, with everything around her drifting away from her.

She, however, was powerless to struggle and could only let this force devour her.
