Chapter 116: Chapter 116 - Want You Dead
Chapter 116 Want You Dead
Qin Yunzhuang had heard much about flattering words . Still, she was uncomfortable when seeing the popular Eunuch You around the emperor trying to cater to Qin Yunuan, this daughter of a concubine . It was like needles pinning her heart .
Qin Yunuan nodded her head with a smile . She was very humble and honest, “My pleasure . You are an important man next to the emperor . I still have to rely on your reminder to prevent from doing anything inappropriate . ” Qin Yunuan signaled with her eyes . Maner, who was next to her, stepped forward immediately and put a jade bracelet of excellent color into Eunuch You’s hand without any trace .
Eunuch You was stunned but then heard Qin Yunuan continue very naturally, “I have heard that you have a hobby of collecting antiques . This is just a jade bracelet bought from the market a while ago . It is said to be from before the Six Dynasties . I am clumsy in evaluating the object . So I want to ask Eunuch You to take it back for good identification . You have a unique vision and would, of course, understand it more than I do . ”
The bribery in such a delicate way was impossible to refuse . Eunuch You smiled happily and satisfied, touching the shiny and quaint jade bracelet with the other hand secretly . It was warm to the touch and felt good . He didn’t have to look at the bracelet to know how expensive this must be .
“Of course, as you have entrusted, I would look into it carefully . ” Eunuch You smiled back and returned .
Qin Yunuan turned back . Qin Yunzhuang scolded to her face, “You are indeed a slut . ”
Qin Yunuan paused, and her eyes moved indifferently to Qin Yunzhuang . She had lost a lot of weight, almost overnight . But Qin Zhi hadn’t told her that Dou Qing’e hanged herself in Psycho Tower .
“Are you talking about yourself?” Qin Yunuan smiled slightly .
“Do you really think you could turn from a sparrow to a phoenix fawning on Leng Changxi, that illegitimate son of Prince Ning’s Mansion?” Qin Linfeng held Qin Yunzhuang back and spoke for Qin Yunzhuang, “You should know better than other people . What you are in your bones . Your mother was nothing more than an embroidery girl climbing up my father’s bed . ”
With a snapping sound, Qin Yunuan slapped Qin Linfeng’s face hard, as if she were exhausting her life’s strength . Qin Yunuan felt her arms numb .
This slap came very suddenly, and Qin Linfeng didn’t react at all . After the slap, he glared, “How dare you, as a daughter of a concubine, to hit me?”
Qin Linfeng waved his arm and was about to teach Qin Yunuan a lesson . Suddenly another hand slapped on his face again, at a fast speed and a fierce strength ten times greater than before . Although Qin Linfeng was prepared, he was too late to hide . The opponent was speedy, giving him another two slaps almost in the blink of an eye .
“Leng Shuang, enough . He doesn’t worth your third slap . ” Qin Yunuan shouted at Leng Shuang to stop, who was enjoying the good fight . She was the sister of Leng Wu that Leng Changxi once mentioned, following Qin Yunuan back from the Xiangguo Temple together . On the way, Qin Yunuan saw Leng Shuang’s skill . She was decisive and used only effective, deadly tricks . Although she couldn’t be as powerful as Leng Wu, she was sturdy and nimble . It was very safe to carry her along the journey .
Qin Yunuan wondered why people with skills like Leng Wu and Leng Shuang would willingly stay by Leng Changxi as a follower . From Leng Shuang’s words, she learned that Leng Changxi had rescued them unintentionally . Since then, the brother and sister had decided to follow Leng Changxi .
“My father said that a good deed should be repaid . ” Leng Shuang spoke very little, and her expression was cold . But from her firm eyes and automatic reflex of shielding others, Qin Yunuan believed that she was a warmhearted person . She was also convinced that she could warm her heart and draw her close .
And Leng Shuang’s two slaps had well confirmed that she had begun to think on the side of Qin Yunuan .
“A maidservant dare to beat me?” Qin Linfeng was very embarrassed . He yelled angrily towards the family servant next to him, “You, go there and tie this maidservant up . I’d like to see who is in charge of the family after all . ”
“Don’t you dare to move her!” Qin Yunuan suddenly shouted, and she took out the token of Infanta Ping of the fifth-grade of rank, which was awarded together with her suit . The bright token was like a shiny sword, choking Qin Linfeng suddenly .
“I am the Infanta of the fifth-grade of rank . My eldest brother, you should salute me . But I understand that you had been studying for a long time and forgot the rules . Then you insulted my birth mother and origin . Insulting an Infanta should be punished with a bludgeon of 80 times . I was considerate of your reckless behavior, and that was the reason I rewarded you with only a slap . Now, brother, do you still want to punish my underling?”

Qin Linfeng’s face changed slightly, but his anger did not diminish . Qin Yunuan said towards Maner again, “Maner, tell my elder brother, what punishment would one get if he commits the offense to the Infanta?”
Maner was downright honest . “In minor circumstances, he will be fined for one year’s salary . If the circumstances are serious, he should be sent to the army . ”
Qin Yunuan smiled contemptuously, “Sent to the army . Now it was a tense time between North Di and Qi . Our border lacked strong men . ” Qin Yunuan said to the fellows around, “Who wants to try? It was said that North Di could be very cruel to its captives . They cut off the head of a living person, cut off the ears, dig out the nose, shrink the head into a fist large with liquid medicine, and hang it in the waist as a loot . If any of you were interested… . ”
Before her words were finished, the little servants all retreated .
Qin Yunuan landed her eyes lightly on Qin Linfeng and smiled, “What? Brother, do you want to try?”
“Don’t make a big fuss about the emperor’s casual marks . Did you really take yourself as someone important?” Qin Linfeng turned his head . Although he was not convinced, his tone had softened by half . He was reckless but still knew that he lacked strength comparing to Qin Yunuan . He just hated why he hadn’t killed Qin Yunuan in the first place . Otherwise, she would not be so arrogant now .
“I did not assume that I am important,” Qin Yunuan smiled and shrugged, “It’s Queen Mother who titled me, and she looked up upon me . ”
The porter suddenly came to report, saying that there was an invitation from the palace . Grand Miss Qin was also invited to the banquet of Queen Mother tomorrow . Qin Yunzhuang’s gloomy face suddenly lit up . Holding the invitation in her hand, she was rejoiced and couldn’t help but said to Qin Yunuan, “See, even though you are an Infanta, I will also be Prince Ray’s wife in the future . I can also go where you can . ”
Hearing the words “Prince Ray’s wife”, Qin Yunuan saw Qin Linfeng’s body stiffen, and the expression on his face soon became unnatural . His little sister, who he had been in love with, was about to marry another man . Anyone would feel unhappy, let alone the possessive Qin Linfeng .

“Yeah, congratulations to my elder sister . ” Qin Yunuan didn’t mind Qin Yunzhuang’s show off at all . She was about to leave Qin Linfeng and Qin Yunzhuang as usual, but her movements stopped suddenly . She straightened her spine brightly, “Look . I forgot about it again . Now it’s time for my elder sister and brother to salute me . Brother, why don’t you make up for your negligence?”
“You…” Qin Linfeng was choked with words . He was just about to take a step forward and teach a lesson to this daughter of a concubine when he glanced at Leng Shuang, whose expression was solemn and murderous . He swallowed down his anger, bowed his head, and said unwillingly, “See you, Infanta Ping . ”
Qin Yunuan gave him a smile, raised her head and left without replying .
Soon after Qin Yunuan left, Qin Linfeng angrily removed the jade pendant from the waist, dropping it on the ground like an emotional disclosure . The servants had left and scattered around early, leaving only Qin Yunzhuang and Qin Linfeng .
“Brother, what should we do?” Qin Yunzhuang was distraught, “Now the Dou Family had lost its power, and our cousin killed himself in Xiangguo Temple . I don’t know what happened to our mother in the Psycho Tower . What should we do?” Qin Yunzhuang said, her tears shed like blossoms that fell with rain, and Qin Linfeng’s heart softened all at once .
With an impulse of motion, Qin Linfeng hugged Qin Yunzhuang and said, “Relax, you have me . Even if no one else wants you, your elder brother will still be with you . ”
Qin Yunzhuang couldn’t help but tremble in Qin Linfeng’s arms while crying, “Tomorrow, what about the banquet? I couldn’t win Qin Yunuan . If I failed to leave a good impression in front of the Queen Mother and empress, my life would be hard in the future . ”
“You can rest assured,” Qin Linfeng said, wrapping his arms tightly around Qin Yunzhuang, “Tomorrow, I won’t let her take away your glory even if I had to exchange it with my life . ”
In the Fuxi Courtyard, Qin Yunuan just finished making a pot of Lapsang Souchong when Ting Xue entered the door . She nodded to Qin Yunuan and said, “Third Miss, it’s all arranged . We had people at the Psycho Tower and in the Caizhi Courtyard . Grand Miss will definitely not receive the news that Madam had died . ”

“Well,” Qin Yunuan took a sip of tea . ” According to my father’s temper, he will not take the initiative to tell Qin Yunzhuang . Hum, let’s see what kind of show Qin Yunzhuang will have to make tomorrow . It’s her nature to wear the most gorgeous clothes and the most precious jewelry to attend the banquet tomorrow . How dare a girl who just had lost her mother dress up so gorgeously? I don’t even need to do anything tomorrow . The saliva of noblewomen in the power circle will drown her . She must be delusional attempting to bully Baochuan and me with her power after becoming Prince Ray’s wife!”
Qin Yunuan saw everything very clearly . Because of this, Qin Yunzhuang was a weak opponent to her, but there was also Qin Linfeng beside her . Although he acted recklessly, he was still the heir of the Grand Commandant . It was a bit tricky .
After a while, Leng Shuang knocked on the door and came in . She only glanced at Maner serving tea next to Qin Yunuan and said, “As Third Miss Qin had expected, Qin Linfeng is ready to take action . ”
