Don't hit someone with a smiling face when offering your hand.

  "Mother, Cold Ru Ling is trying to drag things out and kill her daughter. You must think of a way to resolve this matter. If it continues like this, the two princes will take advantage of the situation." Cold Ru Ling pulled on the second wife's sleeve, anxiously stomping her foot, her face as pale as a spring peach, apparently she hadn't rested well these past two days.

  The second lady, Night Pearl, patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, your father will think of a way to solve it. If parents can't protect you, who else can they protect? It's just unexpected that Cold Ruoyan, who usually doesn't dare to speak out, would bite back so fiercely. Truly, we've raised a thankless wolf."

  The two madams revealed murderous intent in their eyes, hating themselves for not having taken care of Leng Ruyi earlier.

  All these years, because of the existence of Leng Ruyan, she could only be the second lady. Even if the old master promoted her to the first lady and she took control of the Chengxiang Mansion, she would still be a second lady. The great princess of Yexing Kingdom had been holding grudges for so many years because of a little slut like Leng Ruyan.

  "Mother, find a few people to kill her directly at night. Previously, she was so cautious that we couldn't find any flaws in her, but now she can even talk, and all these years she's been pretending to be mute, just waiting for the right moment to give us a fatal blow. What else do we have to worry about?"

  The two madams heard this and their faces slightly changed: "You'd better not mess around, the Emperor has been increasingly concerned about the safety of Yege City in recent years. If the thousand gold of the Chancellor's Mansion is killed at home, he will definitely send the Seventh Prince to investigate. You don't want to die, so be more low-key and wait until you marry Huai'er, what are you afraid of?"

  "Are you going to let Cold Ruoyan get away with this?" Cold Ruying's face was filled with resentment, her eyes burning with hatred, as if she wanted to tear Cold Ruoyan apart right now.

  "Even if we have to kill, we must borrow a knife to do it, and absolutely not take action ourselves." Her daughter, Ye Mingzhu, was bullied, how could she just let it go? Leng Ruyi had been pretending for so many years, finally revealing her true nature.

  "Has your mother made up her mind?"

  "Wait until this matter is over before talking about it. If you have nothing to do, go to the other rooms and discipline those disobedient maids. This time's affair actually dared to push you forward as a shield, these few years they must have been living too comfortably!" Night Bright Pearl said with indignation.

  Thinking of this, Leng Yurou's pale face finally improved a bit, and she thought that there was something to vent her emotions on. She had her maid fetch the white jade cowhide whip for her.

  Leng Ruxing brought seven or eight maids and had just walked to the west wing gate when she bumped into Leng Rutong.

  Leng Ru's eyes gazed at Leng Ru Ling, who was pampered and indulged. Today, she wore a pomegranate-red cloud-butterfly skirt, her face tender enough to produce water, her skin as smooth as frozen powder, and her fragrance like the scent of orchids. When she smiled, her charm was irresistible, with three parts of flirtation and no bones in sight. A pair of pale pink eight-treasure earrings swayed on her snowy earlobes. It could be said that Leng Ru Ling indeed had the capital to marry into the imperial family.

  Unfortunately, this person is not worthy of her. She crossed her arms and spoke first: "Second sister, where are you going in such a hurry? Are you helping your sister find the owner of that underwear?"

  Leng Ru Ling stared at her, for a moment still unable to adapt, which was the Leng Ru Tong who allowed her to punch and kick her? When did she dare to speak to her like this?

  Leng Ruyan's face was filled with a smile mixed with sunlight, which stung her eyes. Without thinking, she stretched out her whip and lashed at Leng Ruyan.

  Leng Ruyan's face sank, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She stretched out one hand and took the whip that was swung at her, grasping it firmly in her slender fingers.

  "Second sister, Second Lady didn't teach you that you shouldn't hit someone who's smiling at you?" She suddenly used force, utilizing the whip's traction to pull Qing Rulian forward. Qing Rulian's face changed greatly, not expecting her to take over the whip so easily. She struggled with all her might to prevent Qing Rulan from pulling herself over, but unexpectedly Qing Rulan had a lot of strength and she was about to lose her footing when she quickly let go of her hand.

  Leng Ruyu lightly swung the whip, and it landed in her hand. The handle was made of white jade, while the lash itself was made of cowhide, looking fierce and intimidating. With a smile, she shamelessly said: "This whip is great, but unfortunately, it's not suitable for you, Second Sister. I'll help you take care of it."
