Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

Under the large pear tree in the backyard, a woman dressed in plain clothes lay quietly in a rocking chair, letting pear petals fall on her. Her black hair hung down smoothly, fluttering gently in the breeze. She was serene and beautiful, like a painting.

Unfortunately, the woman next to her was too much of an eyesore, ruining this harmonious scene.

Chu Yanran looked down at Chu Yingge, who was lying in the rocking chair, with a hint of disdain in her eyes and a strong sarcasm on her lips.

This brat must have had some incredible luck. Yesterday, the Emperor issued an imperial decree to bestow this person upon the Seventh Prince, Mu Ziyuan, and with the title of his principal wife.

However, in the end, she is the most honored person in the Prime Minister's mansion. Even if the person in front of her flies to the top, he is nothing more than a withered branch.

"Hey! Chu Yingge, don't think that becoming the Seventh Prince's consort will change your status. The Seventh Prince is just a prince in name only. You are still that lowly woman!" Chu Yanran said arrogantly.

The person in the rocking chair shifted restlessly and continued sleeping, completely ignoring the chirping sparrow in front of them.

Chu Yingge's indifference completely enraged Chu Yanran, who had come to cause trouble. She hadn't even married into the Seventh Prince's mansion yet, and she already dared to give her attitude. If she became the Seventh Prince's wife in name and in fact, wouldn't she cause chaos?

"Chu Yingge! I think you're really tired of living!" As soon as she finished speaking, her phoenix eyes widened in anger, and she raised her hand to slap Chu Yingge across the face.

The maids behind her showed no intention of stopping her. This young lady was notorious for her arrogance and unreasonableness. In the entire Prime Minister's mansion, the young lady's words were the Prime Minister's words. How could they dare to stop her?

It looks like Miss Nine is going to suffer today.

Just when everyone thought the slap would land squarely on the face of the person in the rocking chair, suddenly, the person in the rocking chair made a move.

He grabbed Chu Yanran's wrist with his backhand and pulled hard. Chu Yanran lost her balance and half-knelt at Chu Yingge's feet. She cried out in pain and tried to struggle, but the pain in her wrist became even more pronounced.

"You brat, let me go, or I'll tear you to pieces!"

The person in the rocking chair slowly opened their eyes, their gaze calm yet tinged with a chilling aura. Their brows furrowed slightly as they looked at the woman kneeling before them, a hint of doubt flickering in their eyes, but it quickly vanished.

In her memory, the person in front of her was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, her half-sister and the culprit who killed the original owner of this body.

His gaze was as if it were frozen, his eyes filled with coldness, and he tightened his grip on Chu Yanran's wrist, causing her forehead to be covered in fine beads of sweat from the pain.

"Are you all blind? This brat dares to treat me like this! What are you waiting for?!"

The maids and servants behind her were also stunned. They probably didn't expect that the usually gentle Ninth Miss would dare to lay a hand on the Eldest Miss today. When they heard Chu Yanran speak, they reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"If you dare come any closer, I'll grind her to dust!"

After speaking, Chu Yingge's lips curled up slightly, and she raised one foot and stomped hard on Chu Yanran's back. The force was far beyond what a delicate young lady like Chu Yanran could withstand.

He cried out in pain, his brows furrowed, and he could no longer utter a complete sentence.

The maids and servants looked at each other, standing there, unable to make up their minds. The Ninth Miss seemed like a different person today. Could it be because the Seventh Prince was backing her up?

But this is incredibly audacious. Although the Seventh Prince's status is much higher than that of the Prime Minister, the Seventh Prince is just a title. This Ninth Miss is truly reckless and will cause a death if this continues.

Green Bamboo was Chu Yanran's personal maid. Seeing her mistress being bullied like this, she wanted to step forward but didn't dare, so she could only stand there and shout.

"Let me tell you, if anything happens to my young lady, the Prime Minister and his wife will not let you off the hook. You'd better wait until they skin you alive!"

"Hmph, if anyone's going to skin her alive, it should be me who skins her first." With that, Chu Yingge got up from the rocking chair. Although she loosened her grip, the pressure on her feet didn't lessen at all.

"This is a feud between her and me. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or I'll skin you alive!" The voice was cold, but it was all the more convincing.

Green Bamboo looked around, her eyes darting around, and she started to make plans in her mind. This was the backyard, and few people came here on weekdays. Although there were many of them, they couldn't compete with the young lady in the hands of the people in front of them.

If we confront them head-on, no one can afford to take responsibility for injuring the young lady. It would be better to leave first and go get reinforcements.

"Ninth Miss, you'd better ensure the Eldest Miss's safety, otherwise..."

"roll."

That single word silenced Green Bamboo. She turned and left in a huff with the other maids and servants. She had to find the Madam now, or her young mistress's life would be in danger!

Watching the departing figures of Green Bamboo and the others, Chu Yingge leaned down and gently lifted Chu Yanran's chin with her fingers. Indeed, it was a delicate face with distinct features, red lips, and white teeth.

"You've already killed me once, aren't you satisfied yet?" The words, once spoken, were like a chilling breeze that seeped into Chu Yanran's ears.

Her pupils dilated involuntarily, her eyes filled with boundless fear. Yes, half a month ago, she had indeed accidentally killed the person in front of her. The doctor had already confirmed that the person was dead, but miraculously, the person had come back to life and even became the Seventh Prince's Consort. She was still angry and had come to cause trouble for her again today.

How do you know...

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Chu Yanran's eyes were filled with panic, and she wanted to avoid it, but Chu Yingge restricted her movements, so she could only look at the face in front of her that terrified her.

Hearing Chu Yanran's denial, Chu Yingge smiled instead of getting angry: "It seems that there is some problem with your memory, sister, but it doesn't matter. I, your younger sister, have a million ways to awaken your memory, don't you think?"

"What do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't do anything reckless! If you dare to do anything reckless, I will never let you off!" Even Chu Yanran herself didn't realize that her voice was already filled with fear and dread.

The person in front of her was no longer that weak and easily bullied brat. It was as if she had become a completely different person, exuding murderous intent. Wait a minute, murderous intent? Did she still want to kill her?

"Chu Yingge, you wouldn't dare, you wouldn't dare kill me."

"Of course I wouldn't dare kill you, nor would I, but..." Chu Yingge's lips curled up slightly, her expression as alluring as a fox.
