When Prime Minister Xia saw Prince Liang leaving, he suddenly panicked and looked at Crown Prince Murong Qiao involuntarily. Murong Qiao was extremely angry. He didn't expect that Prince Murong Qiao was so incompetent that he couldn't even deal with his own daughter. How could he be willing to stay here and embarrass himself
Then he also coldly mounted his horse and rode away.
The groom and the prince in the wedding procession had left, so the procession naturally did not stay. In the blink of an eye, the bustle in the mansion became empty.
Prime Minister Xia and Madam Linglong didn't know how to deal with the current situation. Instead, the old lady came out of the house and apologized to everyone in a dignified and graceful manner, "I am sorry for disturbing you all today. Please go back first. I will come to apologize later."
When everyone saw that the old lady had ordered everyone to leave, they knew that they would not be able to watch the fun. But Xia Zian, who had lost the face of the Prime Minister by refusing to get on the bridal sedan, would probably not have a good ending.
Moreover, it was she who refused to get on the bridal sedan. If the Queen Mother wanted to hold her accountable, she would naturally ask her. With the Queen Mother's methods... Alas, she was a pretty girl, but I'm afraid she was doomed to a tragic fate.
Among the guests there was a handsome middle-aged man who looked at Zi'an several times before getting on the carriage and leaving.
This person is Prince An, who was once a lover of Yuan and has never married. Rumor has it that he swore never to marry for the sake of Yuan.
The cold man on the opposite building rolled up his robe and said, "The show is over, let's go into the palace!"
The guard hurriedly chased after her and said, "I'm afraid the eldest lady of the Xia family is dead, right?"
The man curled his lips and smiled coldly, "Given the character of the emperor's sister-in-law, how could she let her go so easily? In less than two hours, she will summon Xia Zian to the palace. I bet you one or two ounces of silver that Xia Zian will die on the way back home."
The guard smiled and said, "Okay, let's make a bet. Xia Zian arranged today's scene very well. I think she is a smart woman. I bet she can keep going for two more days."
But, in the end, he couldn't escape death.
Seeing that all the guests had left, the old lady coldly ordered, "Everyone return home, and close the door!"
Zi'an was dragged back and thrown into the yard. Before the old lady could say anything, Prime Minister Xia stepped forward and kicked her hard a few times, angrily saying, "Bitch, you have brought shame upon me. I will not be satisfied even if I kill you."
Zi'an was already seriously injured, and after being kicked a few more times, how could he bear it? She almost fainted on the spot. She pinched the ring several times, wanting to kill Prime Minister Xia, but she tried her best to hold back.
The old lady ordered, "What's the point of fighting now? Prince Liang must have gone to the palace now. Think about how to deal with the Queen's anger."
Prime Minister Xia was troubled by this matter and didn't know what to do, so he asked, "Mother, what do you think we should do?"
The old lady glanced at him, "How can it be like this? Someone must take the consequences of this matter. Just push all the blame onto that little bitch. The Queen and the King of Liang only need to punish one person to save face, and they won't blame you too much. It's just that you, mother really doesn't mean to blame you, but you were completely unprepared for such a big thing. You can't do anything good, but you can only cause trouble."
Prime Minister Xia was furious after hearing what the old lady said. He kicked Zi'an and said, "Who would have thought she would be like this? She agreed to it last night."
Madam Linglong said worriedly, "Mother, now is not the time to investigate. Wouldn't handing her over help appease the Queen's anger?"
"We have to take it one step at a time. The Queen will definitely summon her to the palace to be questioned. You all should show your willingness to sacrifice your own relatives for the sake of justice." The old lady said sternly.
"Yes!" Prime Minister Xia responded.
Madam Linglong looked down at Zi'an lying on the ground and said with disgust, "I never thought she was so scheming that she kept all of us in the dark."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wan'er rushed out. As a girl in seclusion, she could not appear outside. Later, she heard from the servants that Xia Zian refused to get on the bridal sedan and made a scene at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, causing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lose face.
She rushed out in anger, and seeing Zi'an being beaten to the ground, she didn't think twice and rushed up in anger, riding on Zi'an and slapping him left and right, slapping him several times in a row.
However, she was still not satisfied and wanted to hit her again, but Zi'an suddenly opened her eyes. She used all her strength to turn Xia Wan'er over to her right side and bit her ear, making her whole body tremble, but she did not let go.
Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. Xia Wan'er screamed in pain and hit Zi'an with her hands and feet, but Zi'an refused to let go.
Madam Linglong was so angry that she trembled all over when she saw this. She pointed at the servant and said angrily, "Why don't you go over and pull her away?"
Zi'an was dragged away by several servants. Madam Linglong stepped forward and slapped her several times, causing her own hands to feel numb and painful. Blood was flowing out of Zi'an's mouth, but she ignored it and laughed out loud, "Okay, go ahead and beat me. If you push me to the limit, we'll all die together and no one will survive."
Prime Minister Xia was so angry that he trembled when he saw her attitude was still so arrogant. "Kneel in front of the ancestral tablets immediately. Do not get up without my order until the Queen's order arrives."
Zi'an raised his head and there was a stubborn and cold light in his eyes. The blood on his forehead was still seeping out, drop by drop, which was shocking to see.
Several maids tried to drag her away, but she said coldly, "Who dares to touch me?"
Several old women were frightened by her sudden ferocity and did not dare to step forward.
Zi'an raised his lips and stared at Prime Minister Xia sinisterly, "One day, you will pay the price for everything you have done!"
After saying this, he walked towards the shrine with wounds all over his body.
The blood grew into crabapple blossoms along the floor behind her. Her slender back stood very straight. She clenched her fists and endured the slight pain in her heart. This was not her emotion, but just what remained in the original owner's brain. The original owner always longed for this fatherly love.
It’s a pity that she never got it until her death.
She must help the original owner to avenge this grudge.
Prime Minister Xia was stunned for a moment, and was frightened by Zi'an's look.
Xia Wan'er was helped back by the servants. If Zi'an had used a little more force, he would have bitten off her ear. She hated Zi'an so much that she wanted to cut her into pieces.
The old lady raised her drooping eyelids, her eyes gleaming with a venomous snake-like light, "Listen, the queen will definitely hold her accountable. If she leaves the palace alive, you will go to the palace and report to the queen in three days that the little bitch died of a sudden illness. Then the queen will know what you are thinking."
"Yes, son, I know." That's right, the palace just needs one person to give an explanation. If someone dies, the Queen will calm down.
Zi'an knelt in front of the tablets of Xia family's ancestors, staring at the tablets one by one. The tablets looked down at her.
She said word by word: "Just watch me and see how I turn the Xia family upside down and avenge the death of Xia Zian."
The voice was harsh and resolute, leaving no room for leeway.
She twirled the soul-stealing ring on her finger.
She was a soul that traveled through time and space, so why did the Soul-Snatching Ring travel through time with her? She couldn't understand why.
Today it is not that she cannot resist, but that she cannot resist, because, with her ability, she is not enough to compete with the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Today, there is still one more level to break through. The key is to use the soul-stealing ring and her medical skills.
