Yun Ran found it ridiculous and looked at Lin Qianqiu as if he were retarded.

“Do you know what happened? Did you just decide it was my fault? Did I go to the Marquis of Ding’an and beat him up for no reason?”

Lin Qianqiu choked, his eyes flashing as he turned to Zhen Fantong. “What happened? Why are you here?”

“I … she …”

Zhen Fantong stammered and felt a little guilty. Madam Zhen quickly helped him out.

“Although Tong’er is a little mischievous, he has a pure nature. While he’s injured to this extent, Lin Wanyue is unscathed. Anyone can tell who’s right and who’s wrong, right? Big Brother, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Lin Qianqiu turned to Yun Ran again and berated her in a deep voice.

“Even if there was some misunderstanding between the two of you, you shouldn’t have been so ruthless. Hurry up and kowtow to your aunt and apologize.”

“Kowtow my ass!”

Lin Qianqiu was speechless.

This evil creature! She had only been with Nangong Mo for a few days, but she had already become so arrogant, domineering, and lawless!

“My lord, you heard everything, didn’t you? She’s so disrespectful and domineering in front of you, let alone when you’re not around.”

Lin Qianqiu flung his sleeves and said angrily, “Guards! Take this rebellious girl down! Take her to the ancestral hall! I’ll punish her according to the house rules!”

“Yes!”

Two guards took the order and stepped forward. A smug smile flashed in Madam Qin’s eyes.

Yun Ran glanced at them indifferently. Three poisoned silver needles quietly appeared on her fingertips.

The poison was not fatal, but when the silver needles pierced into the acupuncture points, it would cause one’s limbs to instantly stiffen and their internal energy to disappear.

Suddenly, an arrow appeared out of nowhere. It tore through the air and pierced through their right arms with the force of wind and lightning.

Everyone looked around in shock.

Under a red plum tree not far away, a person in snow-white clothes was sitting in a wheelchair. His appearance was peerless, and his elegance was unparalleled, as if a god from the nine heavens had descended to the mortal world.

Behind him stood four young and handsome men in black. They had swords at their waists and their gazes were cold. Their auras were like a few gods of slaughter.

When Lin Qianqiu saw these people, his temples throbbed and he felt an extreme headache.

“Greetings, Your Highness! Your Highness, why are you here? Why didn’t you send anyone to inform me?”

“Why? Do I need Minister Lin’s permission to look for my consort?”

The man’s tone was casual, but there was an invisible pressure.

Lin Qianqiu hurriedly explained, “I wouldn’t dare! That’s not what I meant! It’s just that Your Highness has suddenly arrived and I wasn’t able to welcome you. I’m truly terrified!”

“Terrified?”

Nangong Mo’s lips curled into a cold smile, and his voice was cold. “I think that Minister Lin is so mighty that you even dare to touch my consort!”

When he met Nangong Mo’s cold and deep eyes, Lin Qianqiu was shocked. A thin layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

“Your Highness, you’re right! I wouldn’t dare! It’s just that my daughter is naughty and mischievous. She committed crimes and injured others wantonly. That’s why I want to discipline her.”

Nangong Mo sneered. “Hurt someone?”

“My consort is kind-hearted and gentle. She can’t even bear to step on an ant. How can she hurt anyone?”

Yun Ran blinked as her gaze swept across Zhen Fantong, whose face was swollen like a pig’s head, Madam Qin, who was dripping with water, Granny Tang, who was unconscious, and the dozen or so thugs who were lying on the ground…

Silently, she kicked the brick at her feet into the grass…

Lin Qianqiu’s jaw dropped. So gentle she couldnt bear to step on an ant? Whose footprints were there on Tong’er’s face?

“Your Highness, the injured are still lying there. Everyone witnessed her beating someone up…”
