Chapter 1878: Daring to Forge Official Documents

Shu Yu suddenly realized, "I see, so it seems that Miss Chen probably didn't explain the reason for our visit to Xun Sheng."

Xun Sheng shook his head, "Miss Chen arrived in a hurry, and she is not yet aware. I wonder if the County Princess could enlighten me."

This time, they didn't need Lu Sanzhu. The onlooking crowd was very proactive and enthusiastic in explaining the cause and effect of the situation to Xun Sheng and his companion.

Xun Sheng and his companion were dumbfounded by what they heard. When they looked at Chen Bing, both wore expressions of disbelief.

Who would have thought that he was such a person?

At this moment, Chen Bing felt a chill run down his spine. Ever since he heard that Shu Yu was the County Princess, he couldn't stop trembling.

How could this be?

Fang Caixia, a person who couldn't bear children, was divorced by him, suffered from illness, and should have hidden away somewhere to die in solitude. Why, after so many years, did she manage to find her own elder sister?

Not only that, the previously destitute Lu family had become prosperous.

And even... produced a county princess.

This was a county princess, and in this vast Changjin Prefecture, it was unlikely there was a woman with a more noble status than her.

He was finished, utterly finished.

Chen Bing swallowed hard and raised his head, catching the gaze Xun Sheng directed at him. Suddenly, a spark of hope ignited within him. No, there was still a chance. He hadn't committed any heinous crimes, hadn't killed anyone. Even if she's County Princess, she couldn't take his life.

He could save himself, and right now, Xun Sheng was his only hope.

Therefore, as soon as those people finished recounting the immoral things he had done in the past, he immediately denied, "No, it's not like that. I had reasons, hidden motives."

"What hidden motives?" Grandma Fang's anger surged as she stepped forward, pointing at him and scolding, "You are wicked and foolish. Back then, in order to make me give up hope, to make me helpless and not return to my family for support, you actually used an official death certificate to deceive me into thinking that my parents and sister had all died. You had planned this in advance, so where's the hidden motive and reason?"

"Wait a moment." Shu Yu suddenly interjected, pretending as if she was hearing this for the first time, and with a serious expression, she asked, "Grand Aunt, what did you just say?"

"What?" Grandma Fang feigned bewilderment as per the agreement she had made with Shu Yu earlier, asking, "What did I say?"

"You just said that he used an official death certificate to tell you that my grandmother and grandfather had passed away?"

Grandma Fang said, "Your grandmother's death certificate wasn't used; he showed me the death certificates of your great-grandparents. When I saw those death certificates, I believed his words, thinking that everyone had died."

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, looking at Chen Bing. "But my great-grandparents passed away four years after the flood."

Hearing this, before anyone else reacted, Xun Sheng and his companion had already taken in a sharp breath.

The companion exclaimed, "So, Uncle Chen forged official death certificates? That's a grave crime."

This statement shocked everyone.

Yes, that's right, forging official documents was a serious offense. Chen Bing's audacity was just too much.

Chen Bing was in a state of panic, sweat dripping down his forehead in large beads, and he urgently waved his hands, saying, "No, it's not true, she's lying. I never had any such death certificates."

"Whether you had them or not, this matter is no longer a private dispute between our two families. Such a serious incident surely needs to be reported to the authorities for investigation and clarification."
