"Did you hear that? Should a woman who doesn't know the rules be taught a lesson?" Feng Ling tilted her head, asking the guards behind her.
It was a bit presumptuous, but she was the master's woman, and they had no right to interfere.
"Miss Feng Ling, why don't we wait for the master to return..." Wei Hu hesitated. As far as he knew, the master treated this woman differently. When she moved in, all the supplies were replaced, and they were all particularly expensive.
She was likely favored, and Miss Feng Ling was being too hasty.
"If everything has to be handled by the master, what do we do? Doesn't the master know how busy he is? Don't I manage all these internal affairs?"
You manage them, but this woman doesn't live with the other women. She might be special to the master.
"You want to teach me a lesson?"
Xue Niang wanted to laugh. Her identity couldn't be revealed, yet these people took her for the First Prince's woman. It seemed the First Prince was indeed promiscuous, just as Xiao Shan had said!
"It's not that I want to teach you a lesson, but you don't know the rules and disrespect your superiors."
Feng Ling sneered, "Let alone an unacknowledged concubine like you, even if it were the concubine Qu, who is about to give birth, the daughter of Qu Yuanpan, if I said I'd slap her, I'd slap her. What do you think this prince's mansion is? It's a place without rules!"
"The daughter of Qu Yuanpan? Qu Linglong?"
"You know her?" Feng Ling looked triumphantly at her changing face, thinking she was scared. "It's her, the concubine Qu who is pregnant before marriage."
Who knows if it's the master's child, and she dares to put on airs in front of her.
"You're really something. I want to kill you."
Xue Niang said softly, walking step by step towards Wei Hu and slowly drawing the knife from his waist.
"Miss..."
Wei Hu wanted to stop her, but Xue Niang gave him a faint look. "If you dare to interfere, I'll tell your master that you all bullied me."
She scanned the guards, and no one dared to step forward.
Mainly, they didn't take her seriously.
This young lady was so frail, she'd have trouble killing a chicken, how could she kill someone?
Feng Ling heard what seemed like an incredibly funny joke and burst into laughter.
Her cackling was like a duck's, so vulgar. How could the First Prince sleep with this woman?
"Come, come, come, stab here!" Feng Ling laughed until tears streamed down her face, pointing at her chest.
No need to be taught, she knew how to stab. She had already killed one. Xue Niang smiled at her, and the tip of the knife plunged into Feng Ling's chest without hesitation.
The unpleasant sound stopped abruptly. Xue Niang's strength was too weak, and it wasn't deep enough. She gathered her strength and stabbed again, the blade sinking in further.
This time, it should have pierced her heart, right?
All the guards' eyes widened in shock, especially Wei Hu. That was his knife...
"You—"
Feng Ling looked at her chest, as if she hadn't understood what happened until the sharp pain began to spread. "You dare, you actually dare..."
After all, she was a martial artist. She grabbed the blade and yanked it out violently, blood splashing three feet.
"I'll kill you, you slut!" she said, her eyes red, and slashed at Xue Niang.
A figure suddenly appeared behind Xue Niang and kicked Feng Ling away.
Yu Liu's eyes were filled with anxiety. "Miss, are you alright?"
Xue Niang wasn't very scared, just a little nauseous. The smell of blood was too strong, and it had splashed on her.
She shook her head and looked at Feng Ling, who was convulsing on the ground.
She wouldn't survive.
Wei Hu checked and shook his head at the other guards.
Feng Ling was highly valued by the master. What should they do? She just died like this?
Just as they were discussing how to report to the master, the First Prince arrived in a hurry.
This courtyard not only had guards but also hidden guards.
All the guards knelt on the ground in fear.
He looked at Feng Ling, who died with her eyes wide open, and then looked at Xue Niang blankly. "You killed her?"
"I didn't want to kill her." Xue Niang felt cold after being outside for so long. She hugged her shoulders.
The First Prince's heart tightened. He thought she was scared and was about to comfort her, but her next sentence froze him in place.
"I wanted to kill you."
The First Prince: "..."
How did he offend her? Was it wrong for him to travel thousands of miles to find her from a remote mountain village?
"The First Prince is truly like a latrine, anyone can get into him."
A philandering man, so disgusting!
Ling Yao is truly unlucky.
The First Prince: "..."
All the guards: "..." They wished they could bury their heads in the ground.
"Yu Liu, go bathe and change."
"Yes, Miss." Yu Liu went towards the kitchen.
Xue Niang frowned and looked at her retreating figure.
Has she become bolder? Wasn't she very afraid of the First Prince?
"Dispose of her quickly!" The First Prince said with a dark expression, not even looking at Feng Ling.
This stupid woman, it was one thing to discipline the women in the back courtyard, but she dared to provoke the imperial sister. She deserved to die.
However, he had lost another person to use. His manpower was still too limited.
He rubbed his temples and followed her inside.
Ling Yao truly surprised him. Her changes in one year were so great. He had asked Qu Linglong, who said that the village bumpkin had rescued the unconscious Ling Yao on the road. He wondered what else had happened?
"Ling Yao, you don't need to test the First Prince's limits. Feel free to kill any servants who provoke you. I am your imperial brother. Don't be so defensive. I brought you back not to be offered to the Turks, nor do I have any ulterior motives. You can stay here for now, and I will let you return to the palace openly."
"Return to the palace? Ha, did you ask me? What I said just now is true. I really want to kill you. I could have lived peacefully in the mountain village for a lifetime, but you ruined everything!"
You separated me from Xiao Shan!
"Nonsense! You are a celestial princess, how could you stay in such a place! You should enjoy glory and wealth, and be worshipped by thousands!"
"Celestial princess, worshipped by thousands, glory and wealth, that's what the First Prince loves, isn't it? Scheming and resorting to any means. Don't think I don't know what you want. Those who can ascend to the throne do so by stepping on the corpses of thousands and the blood of their relatives. Don't think I know nothing!"
"Feng Ling Yao!" The First Prince suppressed the twitching in his brows and took a deep breath. "You have truly changed."
In her phoenix eyes, there was suppressed pain and sorrow, but he quickly masked it with mockery.
"Fools, all of them are fools. You are foolish, and Feng Shijin is even more foolish. He left the palace after being provoked by a few words! You say I fight and snatch, and I admit it. But do you know that if I don't fight, the royal family will change its surname!"
"You say Father Emperor abandoned you. I truly feel sorry for him. It doesn't matter if he treated me badly; I can pretend I don't have such a father. But you are different. You were raised in his hands. How could he abandon you? How could he bear to abandon you? Haven't you ever thought about it? Haven't you ever thought about it?" kuAiδugg
"I don't want to! The fact is, he abandoned me!" Xue Niang roared, tears streaming down her fair, delicate face. "No matter what the reason or the difficulty, I won't accept it. The day we left the city, my heart felt like it was split in two. He stood on the city wall, so heartless. I will not forgive him, never!"
