The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Shen Qionghua raised her eyebrows, thinking that after the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was downgraded to a baron's mansion, the female members of the family had hardly ever left the house. Then she saw Zhou Lingyi's outfit, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

She walked over and said as she walked, "Manager An."

An Jin was dealing with Zhou Lingyi's entanglement. He subconsciously responded when he heard the words, and then reacted. The moment he saw Shen Qionghua, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Little... Jialin County Princess."

When Zhou Lingyi heard Shen Qionghua's voice, his whole body stiffened, and the blood in his body seemed to solidify, and then rushed straight to the sky.

She turned around and looked at Shen Qionghua through the veil with a murderous look in her eyes.

It’s all because of this bitch. She’s the one who caused the Marquis’ Mansion to end up like this. My grandmother is so angry that she’s still bedridden.

The Marquis's Mansion was downgraded to the Earl's Mansion. She didn't know how many people were laughing at her. She and her mother hid at home and dared not go out.

She was born into a noble family and had a smooth life, but now she suffered great humiliation because of this bitch.

It also caused His Highness to be reprimanded by the Emperor and lose his job in disaster relief, and the credit he had earned was gone.

When he thought of this, Zhou Lingyi wished he could skin Shen Qionghua alive!

But she couldn't. Shen Qionghua was feeling proud right now, and she wouldn't give him a chance to ridicule her.

When one day she sits on the throne, that will be the time for her to take revenge. By then, killing the other person will be as easy as crushing an ant.

Zhou Lingyi took a few deep breaths, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and covered the veil in front of her eyes more tightly. She said to An Jin, "Shopkeeper An, please think carefully about what I said. I am waiting for your reply."

After saying that, she was about to leave, fearing that Shen Qionghua would recognize her.

As the two passed each other, Shen Qionghua smiled and suddenly spoke, "Why, the Second Young Lady of the Yongning Marquisate... oh no... the Yongning Earl's House... is being so shameful?"

As soon as Shen Qionghua finished speaking, a gust of palm wind came over. Shen Qionghua was quick to grab the hand that was about to fall on her face.

"The Second Miss of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion has a bad habit of slapping people when they disagree with her."

With a strong swing, Zhou Lingyi's slender body crashed against the wall behind her. The veil that hung down to her ankles fell to the ground during her struggle, revealing Zhou Lingyi's eyes that were swollen like walnuts.

"Bitch, you're the one who caused all this today, and you still dare to ridicule me!" Zhou Lingyi said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qionghua brushed off her sleeves, walked forward slowly, and slapped Zhou Lingyi in the face under his indignant gaze.

The noise was so loud that even An Jin, who was watching the fight, was startled. Zhou Lingyi's face immediately had a bright red slap mark, and it swelled up in an instant.

"Ah! Bitch!" Zhou Lingyi tried to fight back, but Shen Qionghua slapped her away with one hand, and then slapped her in the face again.

The two slaps were delivered with such force that Zhou Lingyi saw stars.

Shen Qionghua pinched Zhou Lingyi's chin, making her raise her face so that she could admire her masterpiece with interest.

"Although I don't like the bad habit of slapping, when faced with someone who spews filth and can't understand what I'm saying, a slap in the face is the only way to shut them up."

"How...outrageous...! My father is the Marquis of Yongning!" Zhou Lingyi felt pain all over her face, and what Shen Qionghua said made her even more furious.

Shen Qionghua pinched her chin hard, "You are the one who is presumptuous. I am the county lady appointed by the emperor himself, and you are just a daughter of a marquis... oh no... a baron. How dare you call me a bitch? Are you dissatisfied with the emperor's order?"

Zhou Lingyi's pupils widened, "You're talking nonsense!"

No matter how stupid Zhou Lingyi was, he knew that he couldn't admit it. The current Marquis of Yongning... the Bo Mansion could no longer bear such a charge.

Shen Qionghua chuckled, then shouted angrily, "Then why didn't you show respect to this county lady? If this isn't a sign of dissatisfaction with the emperor, what is it?"

Then he said softly, "How about this? You kneel down and kowtow to me, and I will be magnanimous and pretend that what you just said has never been said."

"Don't even think about it!" Zhou Lingyi's eyes were bloodshot.

She was born noble, how could she kneel down to a lowly merchant's daughter!

What's more, it was the daughter of a merchant who brought the Marquis's Mansion to this state. This would make her feel worse than killing her!

Shen Qionghua sighed upon seeing this and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. This county lady can only spread your words widely. I just don't know if the Yongning Marquisate can still withstand the charge of 'dissatisfaction with the emperor's will'."

"Coincidentally, Manager An is also here. She can also testify for this county lady." Shen Qionghua said softly.

Shen Qionghua guessed that Zhou Lingyi was probably unaware of the emperor's intention to balance the two sides.

When Zhou Lingyi heard this, his face became visibly panicked.

Shen Qionghua's guess was correct. Zhou Lingyi was indeed unaware of the twists and turns involved.

But she knew that the Yongning Marquis' Mansion had been demoted. If the people of Prince Rui's faction found evidence against them at this time, they would definitely add insult to injury and might even implicate His Highness.

She hadn't seen His Highness for a long time. This time, His Highness finally sent her a message. If His Highness knew that she had not done a good job and had let Shen Qionghua get a hold of her, he would definitely be extremely disappointed in her.

Zhou Lingyi weighed the pros and cons before finally lowering his head and saying through gritted teeth, "Alright, I kneel!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qionghua withdrew his hand, crossed his arms and looked at her calmly.

Zhou Lingyi felt humiliated when she looked down at him like that.

She kept repeating in her heart that when Prince An ascended the throne, she would tear Shen Qionghua into pieces. With this belief, Zhou Lingyi slowly knelt down.

She bent her body slightly, banged her head on the ground, and her voice trembled. "Your words and actions were inappropriate. Please forgive me, my lady."

Every word seemed to be spoken with great effort. Blood flowed down her palms, but Zhou Lingyi seemed not to feel it. The huge humiliation almost overwhelmed her.

Shen Qionghua lowered her eyes and looked at the drop of blood dripping on the ground. She seemed to see herself begging her in the secret room of Yongning Marquis Mansion in her previous life.

At that time, she was covered in blood and begged Zhou Lingyi to let her go, but what she got was a beating.

"Is it okay...County Lady...!" Zhou Lingyi said word by word.

Shen Qionghua came back to her senses, a smile on her lips: "Since you sincerely repent, this county lady will give you another chance, get out!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingyi stood up with red eyes, picked up the fallen veil and put it back on, then staggered away, looking deeply shocked.

Seeing Zhou Lingyi leave, An Jin immediately stepped forward, "Miss."

Shen Qionghua nodded, "Let's go inside and talk."

After they entered the room, Shen Qionghua asked curiously, "What did she want to see you about?"
