Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

Shen Ningzhu looked at Jiang Qingyi, then at Jiang Xuanyan, whose face was icy cold, and really wanted to yell, "I wish I could kill you, you blind and heartless dog!"

But I still forced myself to remain rational.

"Jiang Xuan Yan, it's been three years. I've been following you for three whole years. Even a stone would have warmed up by now, wouldn't it?"

"Three years of relationship, and all the days and nights we've spent together, all those passionate moments in bed—what do all that mean to you? Are you really going to hurt me like this for all those other women?"

Jiang Qingyi stiffened, her expression turning grim, and Jiang Xuanyan also subconsciously furrowed his brows.

He and she only did it twice in total, and both times she was knocked unconscious.

He was only trying to detoxify himself and didn't linger at all, so how did that become an extremely intimate scene in her mouth?

He hurt her, but when did he ever hurt her?

Does she even know what she just did and what price she will have to pay for it?

Princess Qingyi is a meritorious official who returned from a marriage alliance. She has made contributions to the country and was personally appointed Princess Qingyi by the Emperor. If she dares to hurt her, given her lowly birth, she would have several heads to lose.

"Enough! Guards, take Shen Ningzhu back to Plum Blossom Garden and keep her inside to reflect on her mistakes. She is not to leave the courtyard without my order."

After a pause, he said again,

“Princess Qingyi, her maid…”

Jiang Qingyi rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Qingyi, Qingyi? Someone, quickly fetch a doctor to treat the princess." Jiang Xuan Yan gave the order while carrying Jiang Qingyi and running quickly towards the bedroom.

Shen Ningzhu stomped her feet in anger, her chest feeling like it was about to explode. This vicious woman, how could she faint at such a crucial moment? She had only suffered a minor cut and was not seriously injured. This wicked woman was definitely doing it on purpose.

Jiang Yi stepped forward and said, "Please return, young master."

Shen Ningzhu gave him a cold look. "What if I don't?"

The other party sighed, "His Highness gave the order personally, so please don't make things difficult for us servants. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to take you back by force."

Shen Ningxue swayed her hips forward with a smug look on her face.

She clicked her tongue twice, gloating, "My dear sister, haven't you always been arrogant and disdainful of everyone?"

"A fake heiress dares to be so arrogant in front of the real one? Does she really think no one can deal with her? She even dares to offend someone as noble as the princess. Just wait to die without a burial place."

"And your maid, she was just as arrogant as you, and guess what happened?"

"Hahahaha, oh my, you have no idea how miserable she looks right now. She's covered in blood from head to toe, not a single piece of her flesh is intact. I'm afraid... Ah—you bitch, let me go."

Shen Ningzhu used the same trick again, and when Shen Ningxue leaned close to her ear to speak, she quickly inserted a hairpin into her collarbone.

Tell me, where is Xiaoyi?

"I……"

puff-

The hairpin was pulled out, and another hairpin was plunged into the artery in her neck. This time, the force was less, and it only broke the skin.

Blood flowed out in a rush, and blood kept gushing from the two wounds. Soon, a large area of ​​Shen Ningxue's clothes was soaked.

She screamed in terror.

Jiang Yi opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately did not move.

Shen Ningxue was terrified and had no choice but to tell her Liu Zhiyi's location. Shen Ningzhu looked at Jiang Yi and solemnly said:

"Don't worry, I will obediently reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors, but on the condition that I take Xiaoyi with me. Otherwise, you can only take a corpse with you today."

Jiang Yi's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded.

At that moment, he suddenly admired Shen Ningzhu's fearlessness in the face of power and her courage.

At the same time, she also felt a little envious of the maid named Xiaoyi. For a mere servant to receive such relentless protection from her master, even death would be worthwhile.

So he took the initiative to carry Shen Ningxue and together with Shen Ningzhu found a woodshed.

As the door was pushed open, the dimly lit room brightened up, and the scene inside became clearly visible to everyone.

"Xiao Yi—"

Shen Ningzhu screamed in agony.

Seeing Liu Zhiyi lying lifeless on the stool, her flesh mangled and bloodied, Shen Ningzhu's eyes widened in fury. She frantically pushed through the crowd, knelt down with a thud, and used trembling fingers to check for her breath.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, Xiao Yi is still alive, still alive. Jiang Yi, quickly send someone to fetch a doctor."

Jiang Yi immediately ordered the guards following him to fetch the imperial physician, and then took the initiative to pick up Liu Zhiyi and quickly ran towards Meixiang Garden.

Paper Kite and Paper Intent caught up with him and offered to lead the way.

Shen Ningzhu did not leave immediately, but looked at the blood-stained wooden board not far away.

He quickly grabbed it and attacked the servants in the room indiscriminately, whipping them wildly.

In an instant, screams like pigs being slaughtered echoed everywhere. Shen Ningzhu was wreaking havoc. (Image caption: "Help! This woman has gone mad!")

"Murder! Murder! Help me!"

Shen Ningxue was terrified by Shen Ningzhu's crazy appearance. While she was stunned, she was hit two or three times. The board looked fine on the outside, but it was actually embedded with a dense array of nails, and the nails even had barbs.

One blow from the board and flesh splattered everywhere.

Liu Zhiyi received a full fifty strokes of the cane.

Shen Ningxue never expected it to hurt so much; in just one moment, her face turned deathly pale and she was drenched in cold sweat.

After three blows, he fainted from the pain.

Shen Ningzhu is ruthless; she doesn't even spare those who are unconscious or have fallen to the ground in pain, relentlessly attacking them.

After a while, I don't know how many times I slapped him, until my arm was completely exhausted and I couldn't lift it anymore.

Finally, the three old women in the room, along with Shen Ningxue and her maid Xia Zhi, a total of five people, all fainted.

Especially Xia Zhi, now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems that when she woke up, the original owner of the body was not breathing.

In other words, Xia Zhi, the maid, took advantage of the original owner's illness to kill her.

Now that she has taken over this body, there's no reason for her not to avenge the original owner. So, Shen Ningzhu picked up the board again and gave Shen Ningxue and Xia Zhi ten strokes each.

After finishing her work, Shen Ningzhu was so exhausted that her arms and legs were shaking like leaves, and she could barely breathe.

Still thinking about Liu Zhiyi, he forced himself to stumble back to Meixiang Garden.

As soon as I entered Liu Zhiyi's room, I heard a voice from inside, "The imperial physician has gone to see Princess Qingyi and is probably too busy to attend to things here for the time being. I have already sent someone to fetch a doctor from outside, and he should be here soon."

Shen Ningzhu clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to walk toward Qingheju.

"Clang-"

Jiang Qingyi's bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Ningzhu walked in with disheveled hair and a dirty face.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyi was lying on the bed, with the royal physician taking her pulse, and Jiang Xuanyan standing to the side.

A guard was whispering something in his ear, and Jiang Xuan Yan's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

The moment he saw Shen Ningzhu, his face turned ashen. The guard's lips twitched, he bowed, and left.

Shen Ningzhu ignored his expression and went straight to the point. "Jiang Xuan Yan, Xiao Yi is in critical condition. Please have the royal physician examine her first."
