CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 561: GOING TO KILL HER SHARPNESS, WHY NOT?

"Think Tank, you must seek justice for this servant!" Liao Cuihua’s right hand was limp, evidently, her muscles and bones were already broken.

The pain turned her complexion pale, and she couldn’t help but let the sweat drip down her forehead.

Ming Quan’s expression was somber, "Don’t worry, there are state laws and family rules. Since Yan Wanqing is in the territory of Dawei, His Majesty will never let her have her way! I will go before His Majesty right now to explain this matter and will certainly seek justice for you!"

With that, he immediately left.

Poor Liao Cuihua was still unwell from her cold, and now her hand was also broken.

The injury to Cong Ge’s foot was indeed caused by her design.

But she did it without anyone noticing.

She never imagined that Yan Wanqing would listen only to her maid’s side of the story and come up to break her hand in retaliation!

Liao Cuihua lay on the couch, gasping in pain.

In the past, when Yan Wanqing was at the palace, she had carefully moved step by step, nodding and bowing, relentlessly pressured by the Qin Family.

So, she always thought Yan Wanqing’s disposition was calm.

Three years later, upon meeting again.

Liao Cuihua felt she was utterly wrong.

This arrogant and oppressive Yan Wanqing, who readily resorted to violence, bore no trace of her past restraint and calmness.

If it weren’t for Ming Quan arriving just in time today, she believed that Yan Wanqing truly intended to torture her to death!

However, this also provided her with an excellent excuse.

Yan Wanqing, oh Yan Wanqing.

Do you still think that you are as beloved by His Majesty as in the past?

We’ll see!

After venting her spite, she finally passed out in satisfaction from the pain.

The damned Ming Quan, before leaving, didn’t even bother to call a doctor for her.

Inside the largest tent.

Ming Quan told Xiao Pingfeng everything that had just occurred, in full detail.

Xiao Pingfeng listened expressionlessly.

When he heard that Yan Wanqing broke Liao Cuihua’s wrist without a second word, his fine eyebrows slightly raised: "Really?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, it’s absolutely true! This Yan Wanqing is really outrageous. This is the territory of Dawei, and she, a wrongdoer, dares to be so arrogant. Liu Rushi is after all the Crown Prince’s nurse; such actions are simply a total disregard for you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Pingfeng put down the memorial in his hand, "Hmm, you’re right."

Ming Quan sighed deeply, "She relies on her high Martial Arts skills, easily facing no challengers in the camp, thus she disregards everyone. Now it’s also a time when two armies are at war. If she steals the terrain maps for Chu Kingdom, the consequences would be inconceivable, Your Majesty, I hope you make a decision soon!"

"What decision?" Xiao Pingfeng dragged his chin, looking at Ming Quan: "Since you’re my Think Tank, why not share your thoughts first."

"Yan Wanqing has once replaced Chu Kingdom in slaughtering countless of our Dawei’s people, she must pay the price!" Ming Quan slammed his fist, "But considering she is the Crown Prince’s mother and the Crown Prince is still young and should not be without a mother, we can spare her life but not the punishment. Your Majesty should disable her Martial Arts, and let her stay with the ancient Buddha, reciting scriptures and praying for the deceased soldiers for the rest of her life to live in repentance of her sins!"

"Disabling Martial Arts?"

"Staying with the ancient Buddha?" Xiao Pingfeng chewed on these words.

A faint glow danced in his dark eyes.

"Do you think she will not resist?" Such a proud person, to disable her Martial Arts, isn’t that akin to taking half her life?

Ming Quan had ideas, he elaborated them one by one, "Your Majesty, if you trust me, let me handle this matter, I will ensure the people of Yan Family become obedient and submissive, bowing to Your Majesty..."

Just then, news of the war emergency was conveyed from outside the door.

Xiao Pingfeng knew that Ming Quan was always composed and letting him tone down Yan Wanqing’s sharp edge was not a bad idea, especially since that woman would not let herself suffer anyway.

So he nodded, "Then I’ll leave this matter to you."

Ming Quan took the order and left, but Xiao Pingfeng didn’t notice the venom and malevolence in his eyes.

He never imagined that because of such a person, he and Yan Wanqing would drift further and further apart...

...

Until deep into the night.

Xiao Pingfeng still did not come to accuse her.

Yan Wanqing waited in extreme disappointment.

She sat with legs crossed; Cong Ge kneaded her shoulders while they spoke of the events that had occurred over the past three years, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Just then, a sudden clap of thunder came from outside.

Caught off-guard, it truly frightened both master and servant.

"Miss, your servant will go and close the curtain," Cong Ge said, worried that a downpour would soon follow and allow rainwater to enter the tent, making Yan Wanqing uncomfortable.

Yan Wanqing watched her silhouette against the backdrop of another sudden lighting flash, stretching Cong Ge’s shadow unnaturally long.

Yan Wanqing’s heart suddenly leaped.

Then her right eyelid began to tremble uncontrollably.

She raised a hand to cover her eyelid.

"Miss, what’s wrong?" Cong Ge asked as she came back after closing the curtain.

Yan Wanqing forced a smile, "Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye for disaster. My right eyelid is twitching madly. I’m afraid something bad is going to happen."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Cong Ge quickly spit out a few words, interrupting Yan Wanqing, "Miss, your return is already a huge blessing. What misfortune could possibly happen now? Heaven wouldn’t be so blind!"

The two women chatted more, then slept on a bed.

Before falling asleep, Yan Wanqing still felt uneasy. But what could be worse than Xiao Pingfeng no longer loving her?

So she comforted herself and fell asleep.

As it turned out, Heaven was indeed blind.

A torrential downpour lasted all night, masking many sounds.

That night, Yan Wanqing slept fitfully, so she woke up with a throbbing temple.

Cong Ge took a food box from a palace maid outside the tent and placed it on the table.

Yan Wanqing then went to wash up on her own.

Suddenly, Cong Ge let out a sharp scream. When Yan Wanqing turned around, she saw Cong Ge had collapsed onto the floor.

Yan Wanqing rushed forward to help her up, looking at Cong Ge’s pale face with a frown, "What happened?"

"Miss, look!" Cong Ge pointed at the food box.

Yan Wanqing frowned and looked over.

She only saw several normal dishes on the table, but under those, at the very bottom of the food box, was something blood-soaked and horrifying!

It was a finger.

She stepped forward, nudging the lid aside.

To be precise, it was a middle finger.

And it still bore a ring.

The blue agate stone was stained with fresh blood, making it all the more vivid and striking.

Yan Wanqing’s expression instantly darkened.

This was Zhang Lanyi’s favorite ring!

Apart from her Uncle Yan Jing, no one else would wear this ring to reminisce.

So, this was her uncle’s middle finger!
