Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"No, I can go back by myself."

Zhong Yan looked at her and said, "I killed a few people in the mansion that day. I'm afraid we won't be at peace even if we return. Be careful, sister."

Zhong Ran didn't know what happened in the mansion yet, so he looked at him and waited for him to continue.

"My sister wasn't home at that time, and they wanted to take over your yard. I killed them in a rage."

She rubbed his head and smiled: "It's okay, go back, sister won't let them bully you."

She understood that Zhong Dai'er must have wanted to return to her own yard because she didn't come back.

Zhong Yan nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards his own yard.

"Madam, they are back." The nanny hurried to Chen and said softly.

Chen's hands clenched tightly together, and her voice was cold: "The Prime Minister and the others didn't take action?"

"We should have taken action, but we failed. Hundreds of men in black were killed. I heard the streets were littered with corpses."

Chen's body went limp, her eyes glazed over. "She's so powerful?"

Hundreds of secret guards couldn't kill her? Who else could kill them?

Suddenly, her empty eyes came back to life, and a ferocious look flashed in them.

Even if it means being torn to pieces, she wants her to die, otherwise her remaining son and daughter will be destroyed by Zhong Ran.

"Bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I'll write a letter and you deliver it to me."

The nanny didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly went to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then left in a hurry.

It was Chen's right hand that was severed. During this period of treatment, his condition has improved significantly and he can barely hold a pen, but it is very difficult.

She was bored during this period, so she practiced holding a pen with her left hand.

After practicing for some time, I got much better.

She quickly wrote a letter and handed it to a close confidant, saying coldly, "Send it to the Shanzhuang outside the city and hand it over to the manager there."

She couldn't deal with Zhong Ran, but there was definitely someone who could deal with them.

When the news that more than a hundred secret guards had all died reached the Prime Minister, he was completely stunned.

He always thought that the reason Zhong Ran was so powerful was only because her opponents were ordinary people.

But the ones he sent out were the secret guards he had trained at great expense, each of whom was at least as good as three or five ordinary guards.

There were even top masters among them, strong men who could fight ten people at the same time, but not a single one came back.

"You said many of them were burned to death?"

He slumped into a chair, his face gloomy.

He still felt sad that hundreds of secret guards had died.

Of course, if he had killed Zhong Ran, he would have thought it was worth it, but now that no one was hurt and they were all killed, it was no longer the case.

"Go check everything about that bitch from childhood to adulthood."

He said this with gnashing teeth. How could a wild girl who grew up in the countryside have the ability to master advanced martial arts?

Yes, practicing martial arts also costs money.

If you don’t have money, you can’t hire a good master. Without a master to guide you, you won’t be able to practice well if you practice on your own.

Moreover, practicing martial arts can easily harm the body. Without money to treat the body, it is easy to suffer various hidden injuries.

No matter how you look at it, it's not something a wild girl from the countryside can achieve.

They had underestimated that girl before.

Someone responded and hurried out. The prime minister sat in a chair and closed his eyes in thought.

"Grandfather, you're looking for me!" A handsome young man in a moon-white robe walked in slowly and bowed to the prime minister.

The prime minister opened his eyes and asked him to sit down next to him.

"Sicong, you've heard about what's happening outside, right? What do you think?"

Liu Sicong sat down next to him and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather, Miss Zhong has been rumored to be a calamity star since she was a child. Although it's just a rumor, it has to be said that after she came back, the Zhong family has been in trouble."

"We shouldn't face this kind of disaster head-on."

The Prime Minister looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"The Prince of Yan had an accident in Prince Cheng's mansion. We just need to stick to this point and let Prince Cheng take the lead."

After a pause, he continued, "I heard that Prince Ning treats her differently? The Emperor also seems to be quite tolerant. Grandfather, could you tell me the secret?"

Prime Minister Liu's face froze for a moment before he said, "Why did Prince Ning treat him differently? He must have seen the value in her."

"As for the Emperor, it's because of that woman back then, who has always been your aunt's number one enemy."

"Yun Qingran is very beautiful, and her background seems quite mysterious. We still haven't found out her identity."

"The Emperor fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to make her his concubine. However, Yun Qingran was aloof and unwilling to share a husband with another woman, so she ended up marrying Zhong Qingshan."

"Even so, the emperor still misses her, and that's why he takes good care of Zhong Ran."

Liu Sicong frowned: "Since he took such good care of me, why did he let Zhong Qingshan abandon me to the countryside and ignore me?"

"Well, we don't understand what happened exactly back then, not even your aunt knows."

It was precisely because she didn't know that the queen always had a thorn in her heart.

Liu Sicong said softly: "Could it be that Zhong Ran is actually the emperor's bloodline?"

He said this very softly, and only the two of them heard it.

Prime Minister Liu frowned and immediately retorted, "Impossible! If she were truly the Emperor's illegitimate daughter, how could she be engaged to Prince Ning?"

Liu Sicong looked at him: "What if the engagement is just a cover?"

Prime Minister Liu's eyes narrowed slightly. They had never thought about this matter.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about whether Zhong Ran is the emperor’s illegitimate daughter, but he hasn’t thought about whether Zhong Ran’s engagement with Prince Ning is a cover.

"The attitudes of both the Emperor and the Marquis are puzzling. If they were truly his biological children, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, so why would he treat them like that?"

"Even if the emperor still liked that woman, she has been dead for more than ten years. Besides, Zhong Ran looks like that, so his attitude shouldn't be like that."

"Unless that was the daughter born to him by the woman he loved most, he would be so tolerant."

"A ministerial maiden cut off her own son's arm, but he didn't directly hold her responsible. Doesn't that prove the point?"

It must be said that Liu Sicong's clear logic made Prime Minister Liu's face even gloomier.

Liu Sicong continued, "I heard that she has a twin brother who has also come out and is also very skilled in martial arts. Isn't that strange?"

"Now that both the brother and sister have great value, the emperor may no longer have eyes for his other sons and will not care about the injury to Prince Yan."

"Prince Ning probably saw this too, which is why he's unwilling to cancel the engagement."

Prime Minister Liu frowned, as if his analysis made a lot of sense.

"Then according to Cong'er, what should we do now?"
