Seeing Luo Ningshuang's solemn expression, Luo Zhiheng chuckled and said, "What? You know you're an imposter and you're afraid to take the challenge?"
Luo Ningshuang knew that once the wet nurse saw her, she would be exposed, but she wanted to take a gamble because she imitated Luo Zhiheng so well that even the wet nurse might not be able to tell. Luo Ningshuang raised her chin and said coldly, "Call me then! Do you think my wet nurse wouldn't recognize me?"
Even if the wet nurse recognizes that she is not Luo Zhiheng, it doesn't matter, she has other ways.
"Go and fetch the wet nurse," Luo Zhiheng said coldly. (17070226)
When the wet nurse arrived, she looked at the two identical women in front of her and deliberately showed an extremely surprised expression, saying, "What's going on here, Miss?" The wet nurse looked at Luo Zhiheng and exclaimed.
Overwhelmed with shock, Luo Ningshuang screamed, "Nanny, are you blind?! I am Luo Zhiheng! I am your young lady! She's calling her an imposter, can't you tell? You've been by my side for so many years, and you can't even tell who your real master is? You deserve to die!"
Before the wet nurse could even speak, the King was already displeased! "Does the noble princess of Silver Moon Kingdom have the right to be humiliated by a mere girl like you?" the King sneered. "And what are you? How dare you be so audacious! Caught in disarray, raped in bed, and still dare to shout here! I think you're the one who deserves to die! I've never seen a woman so shameless and unscrupulous!"
The King's words immediately drew agreement from some people. In their view, regardless of whether the woman was actually Luo Zhiheng, her behavior was already despicable. What kind of woman, after being caught in an affair with a man, would dare to be so brazen? She seemed fearless, as if she wanted to make a big scene. It was simply bizarre.
"I'm just speaking up for myself, what's wrong with that? I am Luo Zhiheng, and you're all lying through your teeth! Aren't you trying to harm me? Yunhe! Mu Yunhe, look at me! The woman standing next to you is an imposter! I am your wife, your only wife! No matter what, only I am worthy to stand by your side!" Luo Ningshuang cried out, half-truthfully.
Deep down, she was genuinely resentful. In her past life, Mu Yunhe was her husband, but he died young. In this life, she was still destined to be Mu Yunhe's wife, despite the many unpleasant things that had happened. They were a match made in heaven, destined to be together. Because in both lifetimes, she was destined to marry Mu Yunhe.
"My eyes are not blind. I know very well who my Aheng is! I have only married one woman, Luo Zhiheng, in this life. Naturally, I would never bring another woman into the picture. You keep saying that you are my wife, but what proof can you provide?" Mu Yunhe said coldly, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.
“I really am your wife. You like darkness, you like living in darkness. You don’t want to see the light, you don’t like taking walks, you don’t like Consort Li, and you especially don’t like eating. Sometimes you even have trouble drinking water. You have a mole on the back of your foot, on your left foot. No one who doesn’t wash your feet regularly would know that place.” Luo Ningshuang spoke anxiously, listing a whole bunch of Mu Yunhe’s habits and physical characteristics.
And what she said was all correct!! 19.
At that moment, Luo Zhiheng even felt a sense of absurdity, as if Luo Ningshuang truly knew all of this and had witnessed it all firsthand. But how could that be? How could an unmarried young woman know these things? Even if Luo Ningshuang had ulterior motives, she couldn't possibly have such absolute power over the entire Prince's mansion, could she?
Could it be that someone leaked Mu Yunhe's secrets?!
Luo Zhiheng looked up at Mu Yunhe, who also turned to look at her at that moment, his gaze filled with shock and inquiry. For a fleeting moment, Mu Yunhe was probably in a daze.
Because not many people washed his feet, only Xiao Xizi and an older maid. Even Aheng might not know that he had a mole on the sole of his foot! Because Aheng had never washed his feet. But now, the woman who claimed to be Luo Zhiheng actually revealed such a private trait of Mu Yunhe in her blue dress, which shocked Mu Yunhe.
Luo was surprised that she knew so much. However, he didn't doubt the woman beside him's authenticity; on the contrary, Luo Ningshuang's words made him suspicious of her. Did she investigate him? Or did she have someone planted by his side? Otherwise, how could she know so much? Aheng said he would never tell her these things! But what was this woman's purpose in knowing so much about him?
"Is everything I said true? Mu Yunhe, why won't you acknowledge me? I'm your wife! Look at me! Is it because I'm in such a sorry state that you don't want to acknowledge me? Do you think I've disgraced you? Do you despise me? How could you treat me like this? I've worked so hard for you, and you're an ingrate!" Luo Ningshuang questioned and shouted desperately, trying to make herself appear more righteous and real.
She desperately wanted to say that she truly was Mu Yunhe's wife, but unfortunately, that was in her past life. Because during her time with Mu Yunhe, she lived a life worse than a pig or a dog; she was called a "Little Princess," but in reality, she was Mu Yunhe's servant. She had to attend to all of Mu Yunhe's daily needs, which naturally included washing his feet! Therefore, she knew everything about Mu Yunhe. Looking at Luo Zhiheng's obviously gloomy face, she thought smugly, "Let's see how arrogant you are now, Luo Zhiheng! Now you'll probably doubt Mu Yunhe, won't you?"
People began to whisper among themselves, finding everything Luo Zhiheng said plausible. If Mu Yunhe really did replace Luo Zhiheng with an imposter out of fear of embarrassment, then no one would know, and Mu Yunhe could escape a scandal. But if Mu Yunhe actually did that, he would be utterly heartless! After all, everything Luo Zhiheng had done for Mu Yunhe had already become known; Luo Zhiheng was a respectable and lovable woman, and such a wife deserved the serious consideration of every man.
Luo Ningshuang's move was ruthless enough, dragging the innocent Mu Yunhe into the fray! Perhaps she thought, since everyone's reputation is going to be ruined, then let's all be ruined together.
Mu Yunhe was furious, not only because of her own reputation, but more importantly because her actions had seriously damaged Luo Zhiheng and sowed discord between him and Aheng. This was absolutely unforgivable!
"My wife is right beside me. I can confirm with absolute certainty that you have nothing to do with me! You have repeatedly impersonated and offended my wife, Luo Zhiheng. I will never forgive you!" Mu Yunhe said coldly and angrily.
Luo Zhiheng stepped forward and said coldly, "You keep saying you are Luo Zhiheng, so who am I? We look exactly alike. Do you even know who I am?"
Luo Zhiheng was certain that Luo Ningshuang wouldn't ruin her own reputation. For so long, everyone had been wondering how two people could look exactly alike. This wasn't the Mu Dynasty, after all; not everyone knew the Luo family had two daughters, twins. And Luo Ningshuang hadn't even mentioned a single character of her own name—what did that mean? Naturally, she wanted to protect her name! Luo Zhiheng, however, wouldn't let her have her way.
Luo Ningshuang was stumped. She certainly didn't want her name involved in the battle; that way, she could still be with Mu Yunhe using her own identity in the future. That damned Luo Zhiheng!
Luo Zhiheng didn't give Luo Ningshuang much time to think. She laughed loudly, "Are you trying to tell me that my name is Luo Ningshuang?" Seeing Luo Ningshuang's pupils constrict, Luo Zhiheng addressed the bewildered crowd, "I imagine some of you don't know this yet, but my Luo family has a pair of twin sisters. That means any two people you see looking exactly alike are twins! And I, if I'm not Luo Zhiheng, then I am Luo Ningshuang. And this woman who keeps claiming to be Luo Zhiheng, how do you think she resembles Luo Zhiheng?"
"Does she possess Luo Zhiheng's heroic spirit? Can she dance the desert dance? Will she fight alongside Mu Yunhe? Or will she paint a masterpiece that will astound the world? Or perhaps, does she know the secret between Luo Zhiheng and the Prince? Has she met the Empress? Is she friends with Qianxue? Can you give me answers to all of these questions, Luo Zhiheng?" Luo Zhiheng pressed on relentlessly, her voice loud and clear, filled with immense mockery and contempt.
"What you're saying is something everyone else knows, so of course you know it too! Don't try to impersonate me!" Luo Ningshuang screamed, sounding somewhat hysterical.
Luo Zhiheng smiled contemptuously and said sarcastically, "Don't worry! I'm not interested in women who covet their own brother-in-law. Why would I give up being Luo Zhiheng to be Luo Ningshuang? Do you think your name is worth that much?"
"I'm not Luo Ningshuang, I'm Luo Zhiheng!" Luo Ningshuang roared, her face contorted. At this moment, facing Luo Zhiheng, she felt so powerless and terrified. All her self-righteous beliefs crumbled in her presence. She felt incredibly vulnerable, as if she were about to fail.
"Whether you are Luo Ningshuang or not, there is one person who can prove it best. Let Chunnuan come out, and everything will be clear. Chunnuan is your most loyal maid." Luo Zhiheng smiled coldly, and with a wave of her hand, a guard brought Chunnuan forward.
The moment Chunnuan saw Luo Ningshuang, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Second Miss! What happened to you?"
Chunnuan's seemingly caring words instantly plunged Luo Ningshuang into despair! They rendered her previous words worthless and laughable, but more importantly, they instilled fear. What sinister purpose was hidden beneath this colossal lie?!
Luo Ningshuang had never hated Chunnuan so much, that damned bitch! She had ruined everything she had painstakingly maintained and meticulously planned!

Chapter 293: The True Colors Revealed! (Bonus chapter for my precious darling, happy birthday my baby!)

The title "Second Miss" completely exposed Luo Ningshuang's identity. What could be more convincing evidence than her personal maid revealing her true identity? In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.
"Don't listen to her nonsense! She's Luo Ningshuang's woman. Luo Ningshuang wants to take my place. She covets Mu Yunhe and wants to possess him, so she plotted to frame me. I'm not Luo Ningshuang! I'm Luo Zhiheng! Don't listen to them! This wretched girl is also Luo Ningshuang's maid. The two of them are trying to frame me!" Luo Ningshuang roared righteously. She tried to portray herself as the victim, but her words sounded utterly ridiculous.
"Hahaha!" Luo Zhiheng laughed loudly, looking at Luo Ningshuang with sarcasm, "So this is what Luo Ningshuang's purpose is? Thank you for telling me Luo Ningshuang's purpose in person. Hearing you tell me what you really want to do is strange, but I'm very happy because your confession has caused me a lot of trouble. Isn't that right, Luo Ningshuang?"
Luo Ningshuang's face suddenly stiffened! What had she said? She had actually gone so far as to drag her own name down with her to make people believe her and to attack Luo Zhiheng. How could this be? Had she gone mad?
Luo Ningshuang stared blankly at Luo Zhiheng, and at that moment she really wanted to tear Luo Zhiheng to pieces!
"This farce should end here! I believe none of you here are fools. It's easy to prove whether I am Luo Zhiheng or not! And my twin sister did come to the Southern Dynasty with me; she is Luo Ningshuang. But this twin sister seems to have taken a liking to my husband, constantly trying to seduce and get close to him. Is this the result of my repeated forbearance? Being falsely accused, despised, questioned, and even harmed?" 17111512
"I doubt anyone here would have the patience and tolerance to forgive such a heartless person in this situation. I've always considered her my own sister, a blood relative, and I didn't want to hurt her. So even though she made mistakes time and time again, I always tolerated her rather than blamed her. But Luo Ningshuang shamelessly pushed her luck, repeatedly trying to frame me, kill me, and ruin my reputation. Why should I be polite to her then?" Luo Zhiheng's words were resounding, ruthless, and cold. She explained the whole story clearly, leaving no room for criticism, and instead revealing Luo Ningshuang's despicable nature.
"Luo Ningshuang's fate today is entirely her own doing! She's beyond redemption, which is why she's acting so recklessly, daring to argue and deny even in the face of the facts! She is Luo Ningshuang. I think most of my people, including Luo Zhiheng, know that I have a cinnabar mole on my chest, while Luo Ningshuang doesn't!"
"Since she keeps claiming to be Luo Zhiheng, then let her prove herself just as I did that day. Open her clothes and let everyone see if she has my cinnabar mole. If she does, then without hesitation, I will immediately commit suicide in front of everyone to atone for my sins! But if she doesn't, then Luo Ningshuang, don't blame me for being ruthless as her older sister! After all, no one can allow someone to repeatedly ruin their reputation! You know your reputation is important, but am I not human just because you're a human being? Is my reputation worthless? You really don't take me, Luo Zhiheng, seriously enough!" Luo Zhiheng said resolutely.
Luo Ningshuang's face immediately turned pale!
Before she could say anything more, Bai Mingyue turned her fierce gaze upon her, a gaze so cold it seemed she wanted to slowly torture Luo Ningshuang to death.
Her voice pierced the air, her words chilling to the bone. No, this cannot be done! How could they treat her like this? She is the high and mighty Princess Consort, she is Mu Yunhe's wife! They cannot humiliate her like this!
At this moment, no one dared to speak, for such impersonation and scheming to harm one's own sister was utterly inconceivable and outrageous. Their gazes towards Luo Ningshuang were filled with accusation and disgust. The troublemakers Luo Ningshuang had brought knew they had to shut up, or they would be in serious trouble.
Bai Mingyue had long disliked Luo Ningshuang. He wondered how Luo Zhiheng could have changed her personality so much. Was she actually an imposter? And yet she dared to be so arrogant here? The thought that he might have slept with the wrong person, a strange woman, and that he was treating her as if she were Luo Zhiheng made Bai Mingyue feel deceived and fooled.
He stepped forward himself and, to Luo Ningshuang's horrified gaze, grabbed the only piece of clothing covering her body. He tried to pull it off forcefully, but Luo Ningshuang held on tightly, refusing to let go.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Let go of me! If you dare hurt me, I won't let you get away with it!" Luo Ningshuang roared, her hatred for Bai Mingyue bordering on fear. She wasn't entirely irrational; she knew that once her lies were exposed, the news of her being raped out of wedlock would be even more shocking. She would be destined to become a laughingstock, utterly disgraced, and an object of public scorn. If she had nothing left to hide, wouldn't she be even worse off?
Bai Mingyue didn't care whether she lived or died. He only felt that he had been terribly wronged by this slut, and he wanted to make her suffer even more. A man's strength is naturally greater, especially since Luo Ningshuang had just been ravaged and abused so badly; she was no match for Bai Mingyue. Bai Mingyue exerted even more force, and with a tearing sound, her clothes were ripped open. 198.
"Ah!" Luo Ningshuang screamed, covering her body with her hands. Her tattered clothes could no longer conceal her body; her back and chest were completely exposed, and Luo Ningshuang's eyes were filled with terror.
Bai Mingyue wanted to see her chest, ignoring the various gazes from others; this woman's reputation was none of his concern. He roughly pried open Luo Ningshuang's arms, and in an instant, Luo Ningshuang was like a prostitute, exposed and having her body admired!
"No! It's definitely not her! She's not Luo Zhiheng, she really is Luo Ningshuang!" Bai Mingyue shouted excitedly as he looked at Luo Ningshuang's flat chest, as if he could escape all his sins as long as the person in front of him wasn't Luo Zhiheng.
"You scoundrel! How dare you deceive me? You deliberately misled me, didn't you? You just want to be the Crown Princess, don't you? Look at yourself, you worthless life, yet you dare to dream of the status of the Crown Princess. Do you even deserve it?" Bai Mingyue kicked him and roared arrogantly from her high position.
Everyone was shocked, their expressions and thoughts varied, and for a moment they were speechless at this woman who had colluded with Luo Ningshuang. Luo Ningshuang was a scoundrel, but was Bai Mingyue any better? They were both dogs, man and woman!
However, once it was confirmed that the woman was Luo Ningshuang, who had deliberately framed Luo Zhiheng, her heinous methods and actions were immediately met with angry condemnation from the people.
"I, Luo Zhiheng, am not so easy to impersonate. You simply cannot. Don't think that just because you have the same face, you can replace me. I am who I am, and you cannot escape your fate. You have hurt me like this, with your framing and slander. Luo Ningshuang, do you know that I can kill you right now?" Luo Zhiheng said mercilessly.
"I'm not! Luo Ningshuang, you are! Do you think you can stand still now? I am Luo Zhiheng." Luo Ningshuang refused to admit it, knowing that admitting it would be fatal, while denying it would only allow more rumors to circulate against Luo Zhiheng. However, Luo Ningshuang was internally nauseous, almost vomiting blood. Why was she so unlucky? She was also terrified, surrounded by a group of people, completely naked. She felt like she was going crazy, wishing she could gouge out everyone's eyes!
“A person like you is far too vicious and cruel, and you only bring trouble to your own family. Our Luo family really dares not keep you. Although I cannot expel you from the family on behalf of my father and brother, there is one thing I can do, and that is to imprison you. But I don’t want to do that. You have now lost your virginity out of wedlock and committed such a scandal, entangled with a prince of the Southern Dynasty. No matter the reason, you are a disgrace to the family if you live, and this matter will only cause a bigger storm. For the sake of the family, the best way is to kill you.” Luo Zhiheng’s eyes were cold, but her words were righteous and indignant.
"No! You have no right to do this! You can't treat me like this! I am the second young lady of the Luo family, I am my father's biological daughter. Even if my father doesn't like me, I am still a true member of the Luo family. You can't hurt me!" Luo Ning Shuang was finally driven to desperation and became frightened. She screamed and started to speak recklessly.
Luo Zhiheng sneered, "So you finally admit you're Luo Ningshuang? But it's too late. The news that you're no longer innocent has already spread. You only have two paths from now on: one is to be disgraced and live a wretched life, and the other is to marry the man who took you! Only in this way can you minimize the damage caused by such a scandalous act!"
Luo Ningshuang was shocked: "What?! You want me to marry him? No way! How can a bastard like him be worthy of me?"
In Luo Ningshuang's mind, she was incomparably noble, unmatched by anyone. Because she had been reborn, she knew the fate of everyone around her. Like a prophet, she could forever occupy the high ground, making the most correct choices and decisions. Her destiny was in her own hands; how could that despicable Luo Zhiheng possibly control it? Furthermore, a woman of her nobility could only be an empress or a princess; how could she possibly marry an illegitimate child?
Bai Mingyue was even more enraged. He looked down on Luo Ningshuang and would rather die than marry her. But how dare Luo Ningshuang say he was unworthy?
"Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a worn-out shoe I've already worn! How noble do you think you are? You took the initiative to seduce me. If it weren't for me, you would be in a much worse state now. You would probably have been defiled by those four men by now!" Bai Mingyue completely disregarded Luo Ningshuang's reputation. He did everything he could to vilify Luo Ningshuang because he was determined not to marry such a jinx!
"What did you say? You beast! You raped me! You should be a eunuch!" Luo Ningshuang roared, her eyes red. Deeply traumatized, Luo Ningshuang was now somewhat mentally unstable.
The two of them started biting each other like dogs.
Luo Zhiheng watched the spectacle with a cold laugh. "Go ahead and fight, curse and argue," she thought. "The more you two hate each other, the more painful your future will be." These two were people Luo Zhiheng loathed and despised. She had decided to bring them together and make them torment each other for the rest of their lives.
Luo Ningshuang has a terrible reputation, and Bai Mingyue is equally disgraced. The two of them together are truly a perfect match!
294 Luo Zhiheng is acting! Dogs, men and women together!

These two people's verbal attacks will only make them look even more pathetic in front of others. Luo Ningshuang is currently naked; she's only forgotten because she's furious, but Bai Mingyue is deliberately trying to embarrass her. Luo Zhiheng doesn't remind her, simply because he wants Luo Ningshuang to remember this lesson!
Seeing that the situation was clear, and that the two looked like they were locked in a life-or-death struggle, Luo Zhiheng spoke up. Her expression was sorrowful as she questioned, "Luo Ningshuang, I've never wronged you as your older sister, yet you've repeatedly framed and hurt me. What is your heart made of? I've treated you well; I even let you come to the Southern Dynasty and let you stay with us. But you've been so selfish."
"I think you all don't know this yet. My marriage to Mu Yunhe was entirely orchestrated by this woman. She could have married Mu Yunhe back then, and she herself agreed to marry him. She didn't hesitate to marry Mu Yunhe, who was in very poor health at the time, in order to marry into a wealthy family."
"But later she changed her mind because she didn't want to be a widow. She was afraid that Mu Yunhe would be gone after she married him. But she didn't dare to offend the Mu family. If there was no bride on the wedding day, she was afraid of getting into trouble. So she plotted against me. That's how I married Mu Yunhe." Luo Zhiheng said with a heartbroken and angry expression.
Mu Yunhe's expression was unpleasant. He couldn't understand why Luo Zhiheng would say such a thing at a time like this. Did she not want to marry him? No way! Aheng would never be that kind of person.
What the crowd didn't know was shocking. Upon hearing this, they realized that Luo Ningshuang had a long history of crimes and had a criminal record. Harming her own sister was no small matter.
Luo Zhiheng seemed to wipe away her tears, and her image instantly transformed into that of a pitiful, helpless, and sorrowful little white flower as she said, "But she is, after all, my own sister. I can't just stand by and watch her get into trouble. So even though I knew it was her scheme, I still married Mu Yunhe in her place. I sacrificed my own happiness for her and jumped into a fire pit myself."
