Chapter 482: Truth 245 (Second Update)_3

The Prince’s Consort was stunned for a moment.

She was of course no stranger to this kind of swaddling cloth, having personally chosen it for the child in her womb many years ago. She had even consulted with the embroiderer to embroider two small flowers on it.

In her dreams at midnight, she had envisioned countless times her late child wrapped in this swaddling cloth.

Only, the color of the swaddling cloth in front of her had faded a bit from its original state, and it had accumulated some dust and damage.

The Prince’s Consort suddenly became tense, “Miss Gu, where did this swaddling cloth come from? Is this… ”

Before the Prince’s Consort could finish, the Prince stepped up, shielded her behind him, and said to Gu Jiao through gritted teeth, “Don’t think you can deceive us with a fake swaddling cloth! There are plenty of such cloths in Zhan Kingdom! What are you trying to achieve?”

Gu Jiao said calmly, “Indeed, there are many such swaddling cloths throughout Zhan Country, but only one is buried at the Dongcao Slope. If you believe this to be a deception then, fine. I’ll burn it!”

As she spoke, she turned her fingertip, doused the swaddling cloth with the kerosene from the table lamp, then flicked a match. As one, both the swaddling cloth and the matchstick were thrown into the courtyard of the Flower Hall.

The swaddling cloth whooshed and was caught up in flames.

The Prince’s face changed dramatically!

In fact, at the mention of Dongcao Slope, he had already been unable to maintain his composure. But he told himself to stay calm, not to fall for the girl’s tricks. Little did he expect that this girl would be so ruthless – not even sparing the remains of an infant.

In the blazing fire, a section of the white bone became visible. The Prince couldn’t hold back anymore. He jumped up in anger, ripped open the burning swaddling cloth, and revealed the little skeleton wrapped in it.

The skeleton shattered on the ground, and the Prince’s face was contorted in anger and pain.

He didn’t care about confronting Gu Jiao. He took off his coat to wrap up the skeleton, but sensed something was wrong about these bones as soon as he touched them.

Wait, they are not real bones.

…They’re wooden!

Yes, this was the result of Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng working tirelessly throughout the night.

Although their craftsmanship was not as good as Gu Xiaoshun’s, the wooden skeleton had all the details and at first glance, there were no glaring flaws.

The creation process was indeed troublesome, and Chengfeng, who was afraid of ghosts, had almost died of fright multiple times.

Gu Jiao didn’t use anything from the wooden coffin. Even the swaddling cloth was something she forced Chengfeng to steal from the Cloth Shop. They had only slightly aged it.

The Prince finally realized that he had been fooled by the girl in front of him.
