g on her She wasn't even worthy!"Qing'er, where did that village woman go after that" Murong Yue asked Qing'er as she sipped the newly brewed tea. 。Later, it seemed like the Sixth Prince wanted to hit...Chapter Forty-One

... Go to hell...(Burst update 6)

"Haha, catch her for me!" Murong Rou commanded.

"What are you doing! Get away from me! Get away! Don't touch me! Twenty-nine! Twenty-nine! Come out here! Twenty-nine, come save me..."

Chen Zixuan was brutally pinned to the ground by a group of servants. Murong Ke'er, seeing this, crawled to Murong Rou's side and tugged at her clothes, begging piteously: "Sister, please, please let her go, she is innocent."

"Innocent Hmph, you were quite sharp-tongued just a moment ago. Ah! You touched my clothes!" Murong Rou slapped Murong Ke'er across the face with her backhand.

Murong Ke'er's veil was knocked to the ground, revealing a horrifying and ghastly wound.

"Ah! Good heavens! Your face…" Murong Rou pointed at Murong Ke'er's face in fear.

"Who made you like this" Murong Rou looked carefully at Murong Ke'er's face.

"Aren't you the elder sister"

Seeing Murong Ke'er lower her head and remain silent, Murong Rou knew it was most likely Murong Yue. Although the other sisters would sometimes bully Murong Ke'er, they wouldn't leave visible wounds. Only Murong Yue would, and only Murong Yue dared to.

Why

Well, who could blame her After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family and deeply beloved by him. Of course, there was a reason why the Prime Minister doted on her so much. If the Sixth Prince hadn't been obsessed with Murong Yue, perhaps the Prime Minister wouldn't have been so indulgent towards her.

However, Murong Yue's ambitions were vast. A small Sixth Prince with such a simple heart was beneath her notice. Although the Third Prince had shared intimacy with her and she had been impressed by his skills in bed, she refused to be just a mere concubine to him. What good was skill in bed if he couldn't offer her the power she desired

Only the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince Ruitian Ao, was the object of her affection. The current Crown Prince of Ruixing Dynasty hasn't chosen a Crown Princess yet, and his residence only has two concubines. Moreover, the Crown Prince is gentle, elegant, romantic, and kind to both concubines.

But no matter how Murong Yue tried to "accidentally" meet the Crown Prince, and how she eagerly fawned over him with all her heart, the Crown Prince remained politely distant towards her...

"Sister, please, just let this girl go. I'm willing to take all the punishment in her place..." Murong Ke'er's plea pulled Murong Rou back from her thoughts.

Sometimes, Murong Rou also felt a tinge of sympathy for Murong Ke'er. Though Murong Ke'er's mother was favored when she was very young, earning the envy of other women in the Marquis' mansion, she was very humble. Even when favored, she didn't abuse her position. It's a pity that Madam Fu couldn't tolerate her...

Murong Yue couldn't stand Murong Ke'er even more, all because when Ke'er was young, the Crown Prince praised her with the words "Her name matches her person, beautiful and lovely." This brought disaster to her...

Although Murong Rou felt sorry for Murong Ke'er, being the seventh miss of the Murong Prime Minister's residence, she lived even worse than a maid. But pity was pity, she wouldn't help Murong Ke'er, and would even bully her, because both she and her mother relied on the mistress. If they got too close to Murong Ke'er, it would be like being an enemy of the head wife...

So...

Murong Rou kicked Murong Ke'er to the ground again: "Little sister Ke'er, don't blame elder sister for not reminding you, if you crawl onto my brocade cloth again, your delicate little body will have new wounds..."

Murong Rou smiled as she watched Murong Ke'er, her eyes filled with tears and humiliation, crawl to the other side, still kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Chen Zixuan was pinned to the ground, unable to pull Ke'er up. She was even more heartbroken: "Ke'er, stand up, don't beg her. I told you, she doesn't deserve it. You are not allowed to kneel before her, do you hear Stand up!"

"Third Miss, the old woman also begs you, please don't make things difficult for this young lady…" Ke’er’s mother trembled as she kowtowed.

"Daughter-in-law, don't ask her, she wouldn't dare do anything to me."

"Hmph, still so tough-mouthed! Bring her over here, give her a good beating!" Murong Rou leisurely took a bunch of grapes from the maidservant's hand and began to eat them, as if treating everything before her like a play...

"You dare! If I am subjected to any severe torture at the Chancellor's Residence, I will tell the Sixth Prince. You are using me as an excuse to investigate at the Chancellor's Residence; your real purpose is to torture me in revenge. If you let me go now, I will reluctantly speak well of you before the Sixth Prince." Chen Zixuan, though pinned down, still held his backbone.

"Hee hee, I'm so scared, aren't you scared" Murong Rou pointed at the people in front of her. Those servants and maids giggled softly.

“Are you going to tell the Sixth Prince If the Sixth Prince cared about your words, he wouldn't have left you at the Prime Minister's residence. You're so eloquent, how could you not even understand this much”

Chen Zixuan turned his face to the side and remained silent.

I cursed Ruitian Yu a hundred times in my mind, then cursed Twenty-Nine, who had completely sold out our teammates...

"How come you're not speaking anymore You were quite bold just a moment ago! Oh... did Miss Ben manage to hit the nail on the head Are you speechless now Aiyo, look at her, she's about to cry from being wronged... Hahahahaha..." Murong Rou instigated the maids and servants to watch the spectacle, laughing gleefully.

Chen Zixuan's ears were filled with mocking laughter. Her heart ached... She clenched her teeth, forcing back the pain, cheering herself on, telling herself not to cry, she must never let these people look down on her...

"Laugh all you want, just wait until the Sixth Prince comes tomorrow. I'll tell him everything." Chen Zixuan said through gritted teeth.

"Tell How do you tell him Heh heh... Bring someone, give her some medicine. All that jabbering is so annoying." Murong Rou's expression as she spoke was like she was saying the weather was nice today.

"You, you want to silence me!" Chen Zixuan looked at her in shock, "Using private force is illegal..."

Well, she seems to have forgotten. This was ancient times, a time of strongman politics. Power meant having the law on your side...

Murong Rou seemed to have heard a particularly amusing joke, laughing so hard that her eyes were slightly moist...

"You, you don't get to be smug. Even if you silence me with your poison, I still have hands. I can write him a letter." At this moment, Chen Zixuan's heart was filled with fear. She knew this woman was capable of anything, but her pride told her she couldn't show weakness even though she was terrified.

"Oh…" Murong Rou let out a long sigh, then adjusted the hairpin on her head, "Then just cut off your hand."

"You... I won't let you get away with this, even if I become a ghost..."

Just as Murong Rou was about to speak, a maidservant from beside Murong Yue came over and whispered something in Murong Rou's ear. Murong Rou listened, then widened her eyes and looked at the newcomer.

After a moment's pause, he turned his head and said to Chen Zixuan, "Then I'll have to let you... become a ghost..."o is untouchable. He carries a poison that mortals cannot decipher; touching him will result in death, but how would anyone know unless they tried Murong Yue is just an ordinary mortal like everyone e...
