"Iâll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth, what were you planning with Jindi when you took her out?"
"I didnât take her." Qian Xiaoqing thought to herself, Iâm just not going to admit it. What can you do to me?
Thatâs just how people with no sense are. They think being unreasonable means others canât do anything to them.
But she forgot about Yang Chuxiaâknown as a fierce womanâwho will use any means necessary to find out what she wants to know.
"Not going to talk?" Yang Chuxia raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and without saying another word, bent down to pull a dagger from her deerskin boots, and yanked Qian Xiaoqing in front of her. "You know, just seeing your face annoys me. Back in the day, you relied on this face of yours, so your ambitions soared sky-high."
Then the dagger tip stabbed in.
"Ah!" A piercing scream erupted in the courtyard, sending chills down everyoneâs spine present.
"Xiaoqing!" Ms. Qian of Wang Family was the first to rush forward, trying to snatch the dagger from Yang Chuxia.
"Two people, pull her aside for me. Donât let her get in the way."
Immediately, two older women stepped forward, twisted Ms. Qian of Wang Familyâs arms, and dragged her aside.
"Speak, Qian Xiaoqing, what do you want!" Yang Chuxiaâs dagger continued to trace Qian Xiaoqingâs face. "If I ruin your face right now, tell me, can you still flaunt yourself? Do you think you still have the capital to cling to men? Iâm telling you, if you donât talk, I wonât just ruin your face; Iâll make you blind."
"I think those eyes of yours are annoying too. Digging one out and feeding it to the dogs wouldnât be bad."
The burning pain on her face made Qian Xiaoqing tremble with fear.
This vile woman even wanted to gouge out her eyes?
Where did she get the guts!
Qian Xiaoqing turned to stare at Yang Chuxia and saw not a trace of panic on her face, her eyes deep and unreadable. Suddenly, Qian Xiaoqing recalled the scene from many years ago, where she grabbed Yang Lichunâs head and slammed it against a wall, and found herself scared again. How could she forget, this Yang Chuxia has the guts to do anything. If she said sheâd gouge out her eyes, sheâd really do it.
Her body shook!
After a long moment, she timidly said, "It was me, I took her!"
"Why did you take her?"
"..." Seeing her silence, Yang Chuxia kicked her in the calf, "Donât act all deep; just say it!"
"That little brat is beautiful. Selling her to a brothel could make me quite a bit of silver," Qian Xiaoqing said hatefully, "Why must she have the surname Yang? No one with the surname Yang is any good. I just want to sell her to a brothel; that pretty face of hers would be wasted if I donât."
Sheâs so beautiful at such a young age, will surely be prettier than her when grown up, huh. Born into the Yang Family, sheâll probably marry well when she grows up. On what grounds!
On what grounds should she marry a beggar, while the sisters of the Yang Family become ladies of standing!
Hearing she wanted to sell someone, anger surged in Yang Chuxiaâs head, and she kicked her again, "Qian Xiaoqing, you have some nerve. Do you know who Yang Jindi is?"
"Her elder sister is now Prince Leâs Secondary Princess Consort. As long as she says a few words in Prince Leâs ear, never mind your Qian Family, even your aunt will lose her head. Youâve got guts, daring to plot against her. I think your brainâs been kicked by a donkey."
Secondary Princess Consort, of course, she knew it was Secondary Princess Consort. If her aunt hadnât mentioned it, she wouldnât have done this. Being the Secondary Princess Consort of the prince, such an enviable and jealous status.
"Huh, so what? Are you going to kill me?"
