When Liu was halfway up, the hound stared at her with bared fangs and claws, as if staring at its prey.

Fear penetrated Liu's body through her skin, and she stood there in shock.

Xiang Huaiyue chuckled and said quietly, "Aren't you eager to protect your daughter? Why did you stop when you saw the hound? You are the one who matters most."

A light-hearted remark actually served to sow discord.

Lin Shu'er covered her bloody cheeks with her hands, and her sharp voice came out through the cracks, "Mother, I have fallen into this state now, isn't it because of you!"

Liu paused, "What did you say?"

Lin Shu'er covered her face and wept, each word uttered with tears, "If you hadn't instilled in me the idea of ​​becoming a general's wife since I was a child, I wouldn't have thought of killing the princess. You've ruined my life!"

Liu's eyes were filled with confusion. She frowned and tried to distance herself from the matter. She scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? When did I ever instill such ideas in you?"

Faced with her mother's denial, Lin Shu'er felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and her face sank into a gloomy state.

Her eyes were torn out by the hounds, and her cheeks were not spared either, leaving no part of her face intact.

Even if you save your life, you will be left with ugly and twisted scars!

How will she get married in the future? How will she live with herself?

A beautiful face is second only to life for a woman, and she really can't live in disgrace.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuer's eyes turned scarlet and resentful. She glared at Huaiyue fiercely, then leaned forward and rushed towards the sharp blade in the guard's hand.

Xiang Huaiyue raised his hand.

The guard immediately put it away as if it were a sharp blade.

Lin Shuer missed and fell to the ground in a mess.

The hound couldn't catch her eyes, so it just bit her body.

"--ah!!"

Miserable and mournful screams suddenly filled the room, constantly beating on their eardrums.

Xiang Huaiyue's expression remained unchanged as she glanced at her coldly, "You provoked me, will I let you off so easily?"

Lin Shu'er said, "I know my sins are grave. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask for a quick death! You and I are both women, why should a woman embarrass another woman?"

"I have a million ways to make you suffer." Xiang Huaiyue said with a cold look in her eyes, "Take him away!"

Liu rushed over and hugged Lin Shu'er, "I won't let you take her away!"

"Bite her too." Xiang Huaiyue glanced at the hound and gave the order.

The hound immediately threw Liu to the ground and bit her with its teeth bared.

"Ah! Get away and don't bite me! Sister, how can you watch us suffer such humiliation!" Liu lay on the ground, holding her head with both hands, and kept yelling.

The old lady's face became uneasy when she saw this situation. She placed her hands on the edge of the table, steadied herself, and pursed her thin lips.

One is her biological sister and the other is her niece.

She simply couldn't stand by and watch.

But Yue'er is her daughter-in-law, and she had just made a harsh statement.

It would be inappropriate to change sides now, and it would also hurt Yue'er's feelings.

After some ideological struggle, the old lady finally decided not to intervene.

After the hounds bit Liu, her clothes were torn and there was not a single spot on her body that was intact.

But she saved her face.

In comparison, Lin Shuer looked miserable and pitiful.

The crimson snow bloomed all over the ground like roses, eye-catching and dazzling.

The unpleasant smell of blood filled the air and penetrated everyone's nose.

Xiang Huaiyue raised her hand slightly, "Alright, take them to the Ministry of Punishment."

She didn't want to see Liu in the general's mansion in the future.

So he taught both mother and daughter a lesson.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guards responded in unison and dragged the mother and daughter away.

They moved quickly and disappeared from sight in a short while.

Xiang Huaiyue ordered Mei Ying and others to clean up the messy house, and then went to the main hall of the inner courtyard with the old lady and He Chaoye.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, making it warm all around.

Even though it was windy and rainy outside, Xiang Huaiyue didn't feel a bit cold.

The old lady was still in shock, and drinking a cup of ginseng tea did not help.

He Chaoye stuffed the hand warmer into the old lady's hands and whispered, "Mother, are you feeling better?"

The old lady was probably frightened by the bloody scene. Her face turned pale and she stared at the hand warmer in her hand in a daze.

Xiang Huaiyue put down the teacup, her tone calm and indifferent, "Mother, I know you blame me, but I don't regret it."

After all, she is my mother's closest relative, so it is normal for my mother to blame her.

But she had only been married to the general's mansion for three days, and she was already hated by others, and even wanted to get rid of her. How could she be merciful?

If Lin Shu'er is released, people will think she is easy to bully, and there will be endless people who want to kill her in the future.

This move is also a warning to others.

The old lady looked up at Xiang Huaiyue and whispered softly, "Yue'er, I don't blame you. They brought this upon themselves. But every time I think of that scene, I'm still terrified. Maybe I need some time to calm down..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xiang Huaiyue said.

He Chaoye said lazily: "If someone provokes me, I will surely be more cruel than the princess."

The old lady looked at him dimly, staring intently, "In my mind, you've always been cold-blooded and heartless. I'm used to it. But this is the first time Yue'er has acted like this, and I can't quite accept it for a while."

"Oh, then you just need to get used to it slowly." He Chaoye said lazily.

The old lady was speechless.

Xiang Huaiyue felt helpless. Who would persuade others like this?

But it is undeniable that he is quite right.

After a while, Xiang Huaiyue nodded slowly: "Well, he is right."

The old lady almost lost her breath. "You two are deliberately trying to piss me off. Go away, go back now. I'm afraid if you stay here any longer, I'll be pissed off to death."

Then, the old lady looked at He Chaoye with disdain, "It's all you who caused this trouble. Why are you so handsome?"

He Chaoye's eyebrows twitched, "In the final analysis, this is all because of you."

The old lady snorted coldly, "You're blaming me? I gave you a beautiful appearance, but who told you to attract so many people?"

He Chaoye rubbed his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. He was defeated by her after all. "Yeah, it's my fault."

Xiang Huaiyue saw them arguing and couldn't help but smile.

I have to say, this mother and son are so interesting.

Every word he said was more heartbreaking than the last.

The old lady was really upset seeing He Chaoye, so she drove him out.

Xiang Huaiyue didn't stay long and followed him out.

The two of them strolled in the Biluo Garden, one in front and the other behind. Snowflakes fell gently, and the moonlight sprinkled on them, casting two entangled shadows, like a beautiful painting.

Xiang Huaiyue stepped on He Chaoye's shadow and smiled sweetly.

He Chaoye noticed her behavior and quickened his pace.

Xiang Huaiyue immediately followed and said with a smile: "I stepped on your shadow!"
