Chapter 254: Chapter 254 This is Clearly a Humiliation

Certainly.

No wonder they all felt something off about Lin Fu before, it turns out her aura was just too imposing. Now that they understood Lin Fu’s identity, everything seemed so fitting.

“Wasn’t it said that Major General Fu Xing’s wife was a worthless piece of trash? Not only lacking talent but also extremely ugly.”

Someone looked at Lin Fu feeling utterly deceived. Not only was she not ugly, but she also had a unique temperament, lavish and elegant, beautiful without losing pride. Such a great beauty had been smeared so badly on the Star Network.

“Absolutely, I was fooled too, I even went online to criticize her!”

“Shh! Stop talking.”

“I won’t allow you to talk about our Duchess like that,” a student from the Immolus Star System glared at those around him gossiping.

Even if the Duchess wasn’t great, she was still the wife chosen by the Duke, and they had to respect her whether they liked it or not.

Besides, now that they found out the Duchess not only had exceptional talents but also remarkable courage, and was a great beauty to boot, they couldn’t be more satisfied.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Everyone knew how much the citizens of the Imoles Star System revered their Lord and wouldn’t joke about such a matter, and they immediately admitted their mistake.

Some thought back to how Tang Xue Fei and Xia Youyou looked down upon Lin Fu and others due to their status and wanted to oppress them. Although they hadn’t succeeded, now that Lin Fu’s identity had been revealed, when they thought about the two women’s faces, they just found it laughable.

“Look, where is Tang Xue Fei?”

Below, someone pointed subtly to the back.

Indeed, as everyone turned around, they saw Tang Xue Fei with her shoulders hunched, looking utterly devastated. Especially when everyone looked back at her, she wished she could bury herself in a hole.

How could this happen?

Tang Xue Fei truly panicked, at a complete loss.

She had never imagined that a commoner from a remote planet was actually the dumb trash married to Major General Fu Xing, as widely rumored on the Star Network.

She was filled with deep regret.

She even started to resent Xia Youyou. If she hadn’t followed Xia Youyou to her dormitory, she wouldn’t have encountered this disaster and wouldn’t have offended someone she absolutely couldn’t afford to.

If her family found out that the one she had offended was the wife of the Fu Family’s Major General, they would certainly abandon her.

Thinking of becoming a pawn, Tang Xue Fei could no longer maintain her composure, her heart’s unwillingness, calculations, and venomous resentment all suppressed by panic.

She quietly stood up and quickly left.

At this moment, it wasn’t just the people below who were in chaos; even the elders seated on the high platform showed a hint of surprise, casting resentful glances at the middle-aged woman who had proposed the hearing.

Damn it!

She must have known all along and deliberately dragged them into this mess.

Taking a Duchess Guardian, the most top-tier noble to a hearing, was audacious to the extreme. Moreover, this Guardian Duke was the youngest Major General in the entire Empire, Commander of the Eighth Fleet, one of the people with the most military authority in the Empire.

If they really had to choose between Lin Fu and Princess Therese, they would rather offend Princess Therese than provoke the Guardian Duke. After all, there have been so many princesses throughout the history of the Royal Family, but few had good outcomes, and there was only one who could become Empress.

But the Guardian Duke was different; this was a top-tier family that coexisted with the Empire.

After this incident, Princess Therese was definitely out of the running for Crown Prince candidacy, so there was even less need to be apprehensive.

Having the Duchess Guardian attend a hearing was clearly an insult; no wonder Lin Fu disdained the chair the moment she appeared.
