Cry and make a scene, resort to desperate measures

  Leng Ruyan raised a faint, cold smile and gently stroked her cheek before pressing Leng Xiuxiu back into the chair. In a warm tone, she said: "Xiuxiu, sister is just borrowing your hairpin for a moment, you don't have to be so scared."

  Then she slowly stood up, pressed the golden hairpin against her neck and suddenly shouted at the approaching Shangguan House guards: "Don't come any closer! Today, whether I live or die, it's all just a matter of family law. I've never made any contributions to this country in my lifetime, and when I die, I'll give those storytellers something to add to their tales - how the Cold Prime Minister drove his own daughter to death. It's a story I think many people would love to hear."

  "You... are you trying to drive me mad!" Leng Qingyang was indeed almost driven half-mad, what kind of daughter could be raised with such a temper, he really regretted it, regretting that he hadn't disciplined Leng Ruyue in all these years, only to let her become like this.

  "Aren't you regretful that no one disciplined me all these years? This wild girl with no one to control her, only has this little ability to anger you, making them all back down. Otherwise, I'll make you the protagonist of tomorrow's Night Song City folk tale."

  Leng Qingxiang was really regretful, his intestines were all green. He hastily ordered: "Everyone retreat." He wasn't afraid that Leng Ruxin would die, he was afraid that this would spread out, especially if it reached the Emperor's ears. Then he wouldn't be able to be the Chancellor anymore. If he couldn't even manage his own daughter properly, how could he manage the world?

  "Like a pupil, calm down, Dad knows that it's his fault for not taking care of you all these years. However, Dad is really busy and can only prioritize the big family over the small one. I didn't expect to neglect my own daughter to this extent." Leng Qingxian glanced at the few madams beside him, signaling them to help persuade her, lest she do something drastic.

  Dying under family law is a family matter, but if Leng Ruo Yun seeks death, it's no longer just a simple family matter.

  He can't afford to be accused of driving his own daughter to death.

  "Like a pearl, you should understand your father, he's not easy either. The whole family is relying on him alone. Whatever grievances you have, speak out and let Third Madam know, she'll help you." Third Madam hastily mediated.

  "Yes, like a pupil, how can you do this to your deceased mother? How can her spirit in heaven bear to see you ruin yourself like this? Child, give yourself a way out." The fourth madam hastily persuaded, she was also the first time encountering such a fierce woman, even though she had been openly and secretly fighting in this mansion every day, after all, she had never done anything that would take someone's life.

  Leng Ruyu shook her head, and upon hearing the Fourth Mistress mention her own mother, tears gushed out: "Fourth Mistress, I won't survive this, I haven't committed any crime, I've been quietly guarding that backyard all along. But someone wants to use a dirty trick to harm me, Father wants to beat me to death with family law, it's them who are forcing me, forcing me to the point of no return."

  Leng Ruyu felt that she couldn't squeeze out any more tears, just then a figure rushed into the hall like a gust of wind and threw himself in front of her, calling out to her with a broken heart: "Miss... Miss... Miss, you absolutely must not give up on yourself like this... Miss."

  "Xiang Si, Miss is useless, can't protect herself, and keeps dragging you down. We're alone in this world, no one to speak for us, we can only be bullied by others... it's better to go with mother earlier..." Leng Ru Tian gave Xiang Si a deep and meaningful look, then exerted force on her hand, stabbing the golden hairpin into her own neck, fresh blood gushing out instantly.

  Ye Liangchen had just prepared the tea leaves in his hand, ready to use them to knock off Leng Ruxin's golden hairpin, when a force suddenly knocked it off before he could.

  "Foolish child, who says you have no one to rely on? You still have your grandfather." It turned out that the old man following Xiang Si was none other than Tang Ao, the great general and Cold Yu's estranged grandfather, whom she had lost contact with for over a decade.
