cold clothes

Qingchun smiled charmingly: "I'm not fully recovered yet, so I only dare to see Erlang wearing a veil." As she spoke, she touched the silver and pearl ornaments around her cheeks.

The silver inlay was to cover up the scars that had not yet fully healed.

"But you look absolutely gorgeous right now." Wang Yiqing stood up and took Qingchun's hand tenderly. The pearl and silver ornaments and the veil concealed her flaws, adding to her exquisite and unique beauty. As long as a woman's appearance is as beautiful as a fairy or the moon, what does a man care about her natural features?

Seeing that Wang Yiqing's passion and affection for her had returned, Qingchun felt extremely satisfied and said to him coquettishly, "Erlang, you're not dressed properly yet, and it's broad daylight."

Just now, Wang Yiqing, who had been massaging Qingchun, had stripped naked. Qingchun was shy, but he became bolder and pulled her into his arms, chuckling, "I'm here today for the hundred-day celebration of lust!"

"Ah—" A scream, like that of a frightened bird, suddenly erupted from a corner of the Jade Pavilion. The shrill pain made everyone in the Jade Pavilion's heart stop beating.

"Ugh..." The sweet, metallic blood that flowed from her eyes trickled down to the corner of her mouth and then dripped to the ground. Leng Yi lay trembling on the ground, emitting muffled groans.

Yun Qiu looked down at Leng Yi indifferently, her tone unreadable, whether it was concern or sarcasm, and said, "Hold back from gouging out your eyeballs, or you'll really be blind for life."

Leng Yi was still curled up in a ball, her hands bent into claws, the veins on her thin arms bulging. She couldn't open her eyes at all, her entire face was a mess of blood, and her expression was like that of a vengeful ghost from hell.

Yunqiu exhaled, took out a handkerchief and wiped the powder off her fingers, which were starting to turn red. "Yilian, have someone take Ningbi back to her room. Her confinement is over. Call Doctor Xie to treat her wounds. Oh, and Ningbi's maid, Lingcao."

After giving all her instructions, she didn't linger in the stench-filled dungeon any longer. She turned and left, but still glanced back at Leng Yi at the doorway.

She finally understood why her mother had brought Ningbi into the family...

Just moments before, Yunqiu had told Lengyi about her next plan. She didn't care about Lengyi's reaction at all; whether Lengyi agreed or not, she had to follow her plan.

"Did you understand?" she asked, gazing calmly into those deep blue eyes, watching the fear, resentment, and hesitation coalesce within them. She sighed inwardly at how exceptionally rare those eyes were—a deep, penetrating blue, the pupils exceptionally dark, as clear, profound, and expressive as a deer's. It was truly a pity to have blinded them.

But what happened next stunned her; those eyes transformed from those of a fawn into those of a wolf, a wolf filled with resentment and despair! So desperate, so filled with unbearable rage.

"Heh, I understand, then... come on!" Leng Yi grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

Those eyes... were ruthless! Ningbi was ruthless to herself! She knew she had no way out, she knew she was at the mercy of others, but she did not back down, but faced the challenge head-on.

His eyes and his posture seemed to say, "Go ahead and use me, I'm not afraid of you. But watch out, I'm not a docile lamb. I might just turn the tables one day!"

Besides being ruthless, she is also incredibly patient... After that scream, she didn't cry out in pain again. Could she have done that six years ago?
