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

Chu Yingge's gaze was gloomy, staring intently at Chu Yanran, which made Chu Yanran feel inexplicably afraid. Recalling what Chu Yingge had done to her before, Chu Yanran felt lingering fear.

"Chu Yingge, don't think I'm afraid of you!" Although she was scared, Chu Yanran still had an unyielding attitude. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion. How could she be scared out of her wits by a mere concubine's daughter!

"Let me tell you, we haven't settled our accounts yet."

"Then let's do a proper calculation today."

"What are you going to do?"

Just as Chu Yingge was about to step forward, Green Bamboo blocked her way: "Miss Ninth, it would be better for you to stay put. The Prime Minister will be back soon."

"That's exactly why I came."

Green Bamboo wanted to say something, but Chu Yingge knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck. Seeing Green Bamboo lying on the ground, Chu Yanran couldn't help but back away.

Chu Yingge clearly doesn't know martial arts, so was her timid and submissive demeanor all these years just a cover-up?

"Chu..."

Chu Yanran had barely uttered a single word when Chu Yingge knocked her unconscious. She didn't have much time to waste with the person in front of her; the wedding date had to be moved up, so she had to take action as soon as possible.

If Chu Tian is still this unreliable this time, then don't blame her for activating another plan.

She never relied solely on Chu Tian's path. A basic quality of an assassin is to be prepared for any eventuality and have multiple options.

So what if he's just marrying a princess? Chu Yanran would be a better fit.

……

On his way back, Chu Tian had been thinking about how to deal with Chu Yingge. He originally had enough time to deal with her, but he didn't expect the wedding date to be brought forward. Once Chu Yingge married into the Seventh Prince's Mansion, it wouldn't be so easy for him to control her.

After all, the Seventh Prince was not as useless as he appeared.

Back at the manor, before Chu Tian could even rest, he saw his maid, Green Bamboo, rushing over in a panic.

"It's terrible, sir! Ninth Miss has taken Eldest Miss away!" Green Bamboo said breathlessly.

Chu Tian frowned slightly. He had expected Chu Yingge to not give up so easily, but he hadn't expected her to act so quickly. It seemed that his own actions would have to be brought forward as well.

Where is Miss Ninth?

"It's in the backyard."

Chu Tian disregarded everything else and strode towards the backyard.

This time, Chu Yingge only targeted Chu Yanran. If this matter is not resolved quickly, next time, Chu Yingge will use herself as a scapegoat.

This daughter has completely exceeded his expectations, and the feeling of being out of control is awful.

In the backyard, Chu Yingge patted the dirt off her body, her forehead still damp with sweat, clearly having just returned from outside. Her body was indeed not up to the task; she had only carried Chu Yanran to the Seventh Prince's residence, yet she was already so exhausted.

Fortunately, she had already completed her second plan, and thinking of this, Chu Yingge felt a surge of joy.

That's right, her second plan was to substitute one thing for another. As long as Chu Yanran and the Seventh Prince had consummated their marriage, everything would fall into place naturally. She didn't believe that the Seventh Prince wouldn't be tempted by her soft and fragrant body.

Although Chu Yanran is a low-class woman, she is extremely beautiful. If she can truly remain unmoved by a woman's advances, she probably has some hidden ailment.

"Chu Yingge!" A stern voice entered her ears, and Chu Yingge frowned unhappily, her eyes full of mockery.

How dare someone with no credibility come to her? Does he really think she's easy to bully? She'd like to see what tricks Chu Tian has up his sleeve!

She truly felt no affection for this sudden father. Having never experienced family love in her previous life, she had no hope for it now, even after being reborn.

Why create unnecessary burdens for yourself when you can live a good life on your own?

"Isn't this my father? What brings him to my backyard at this hour?"

"Enough with the nonsense, where is Yanran?" Chu Tian said angrily.

These past few days, he had been feeling that he had acted too cowardly in front of Chu Yingge that day. He was the head of the Prime Minister's mansion, yet he was outmaneuvered by a lowly woman, and this woman was his daughter. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Today, he should settle both the old and new scores.

"If you don't hand over Yanran, I'll skin you alive!"

"Where are your bargaining chips?" Chu Yingge said coldly. "I have your secrets and your most beloved daughter in my hands, but what do you have? If you have nothing, then who gave you the audacity to speak to me like this?"

"Insolence!" Chu Tian never expected his daughter to say such things in front of him, and he was instantly furious.

"Chu Yingge! Don't forget, I'm still your father!"

"Father?"

Chu Yingge truly disdained such an unfamiliar title. What else had this father given this body besides providing genes?

There's probably only disappointment and sadness left.

A man who has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father has the audacity to call himself her father. If she didn't still have a use for him, she really wouldn't have been able to control herself and would have killed him.

"Now you realize you also have a father? Do I need to remind you what your father has done all these years? Otherwise, I'm afraid your father won't understand his place."

"Damn it!" Chu Tian slowly uttered these two words. He was a civil official, so he wouldn't resort to violence. Otherwise, he really would have strangled his own rebellious daughter!

However, this also confirms one thing: the person in front of us really cannot be kept around.

I must get rid of this person before the wedding; tonight is a good opportunity.

He took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and Chu Yingge, which allowed Chu Yingge to see Chu Tian's true colors more clearly. Chu Tian said, "Don't think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you. I dare to kill your mother, let alone you. You should know that your mother is still the woman I love most!"

Her pupils dilated rapidly, her hands slowly clenched, her knuckles cracking. Chu Yingge's eyes were filled with overwhelming murderous intent. Although she was no good person and never cared about human life, she would never do something like killing her wife and children.

The person in front of her was actually showing off in front of her. If it weren't for Chu Tian's status as prime minister, and if the court hadn't suddenly lost a high-ranking official and would investigate, she would have really killed the person in front of her.

"You should really thank yourself for keeping me! Otherwise..."
