Duchess Cheng fell into madness, crying as she pounced toward Wen Mingfeng. “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!”
Everyone was startled.
Wen Mingfeng was still completely naked!
If Duchess Cheng really threw herself at him, how ugly would the scene become?!
Madam Xiang was also startled and hurriedly had people stop Duchess Cheng first.
Just then, Ling Qiang slowly opened her eyes.
The instant she opened them, the glaring sunlight stabbed at her eyes so painfully that she could not keep them open, and she immediately let out a groan.
Pain, too much pain.
At this moment she felt as though her head were splitting apart, just like a terrible hangover after drinking too much.
And it was not just her head, her whole body ached unbearably as well.
Her mind was blank for a moment, so it took her a while to react before she hurriedly sat up.
She still had things to do!
By now, Qi Yuan and that b*stard Wen Mingfeng should already have slept together.
She should be taking people to catch them in the act and give Grandmother a surprise!
But who knew that the moment she sat up, she would hear a burst of uproar.
The women’s screams instantly drowned her out.
She froze instinctively, sensing something was wrong. Following the source of the noise, she immediately saw a group of noble madams staring dumbfounded at her.
And the noble madams truly could not help being dumbfounded because… because Ling Qiang herself was likewise completely naked, with only a blanket draped over her. Now that she had sat up, the blanket slipped down, exposing a large stretch of skin.
Everyone cried out in shock.
Truly, too shameless!
Too shameless!
It was Feifei who lunged forward and violently pulled the blanket back up around her, crying out in terror, “Young lady!”
Ling Qiang felt that something was wrong.
Why was she here?
Why were these people looking at her like this?
She heard her grandmother’s crying, loud enough to nearly overturn the roof, and blankly turned her head toward the sound, only to see Duchess Cheng and another familiar figure.
Wen Mingfeng!
Her eyes widened. No matter how slow her reaction, at this moment she finally sensed that something was wrong.
Then she stiffly lowered her head to look at herself.
Immediately afterward, she let out an even more earth-shattering scream.
When Qi Yuan arrived, she happened to hear that scream, and then let out a light laugh.
She had always preferred straightforward methods.
When the women of the capital dealt with people, after all the twists and turns, in the end they merely wanted to ruin someone’s chastity.
As though aside from that, there were no other methods more satisfying for venting anger.
She herself originally did not much like doing such things.
But this time Ling Qiang truly had succeeded in angering her.
So this time she was genuinely annoyed, too lazy even to kill anyone anymore. Since these people loved using chastity as a weapon so much, then she would simply repay them in their own coin.
That was reasonable too, wasn’t it?
Besides, compared to Ling Qiang, she had a far more bottom line.
She had merely knocked Ling Qiang unconscious and stripped her clothes off.
That Wen Mingfeng had also been knocked unconscious by her beforehand.
The two of them had simply been placed on the same bed; in reality, nothing had happened at all.
But even this was enough to make the two of them remember it for the rest of their lives.
Duchess Cheng had gone mad, mad from rage.
Even in her dreams she would never have dreamed of something this absurd.
So when she saw Qi Yuan, she suddenly could not help collapsing emotionally and violently lunged toward Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan calmly stepped back two paces, and Duchess Cheng fell to the ground.
Duchess Cheng cried and screamed, “B*tch, you’ll get retribution, b*tch!”
The madams all felt somewhat sympathetic, thinking that Duchess Cheng had gone insane from anger.
Yes, who would not go mad encountering something like this?
Qi Yuan slowly crouched down, her face seemingly full of pity, and reached out a hand to help Duchess Cheng up.
Duchess Cheng reacted as though struck by lightning, violently trying to fling her away.
But Qi Yuan’s movements were slow, her expression relaxed, while her hands were like iron clamps, gripping Duchess Cheng’s arm tightly.
Duchess Cheng actually could not break free at all and was forcibly “helped” to her feet by Qi Yuan.
After helping her up, Qi Yuan bent down and lowered her voice. “Madam must be suffering terribly, right? Originally you set this trap for me. Originally the one lying here disgraced beyond redemption should have been me. How did it suddenly become your precious jewel instead?”
Duchess Cheng’s eyes were bloodshot, her canthus nearly splitting apart.
Qi Yuan lowered her voice even further. “Why are you looking at me like that, Madam? Surely you don’t think this is already over?”
She lightly patted Duchess Cheng’s shoulder. “Madam, do you remember my younger brother being bitten by hunting dogs?”
For some reason, the moment Qi Yuan said this, Duchess Cheng felt every hair on her body stand on end, goosebumps erupting all over her.
What was she saying?
What did Qi Yuan mean?
The panic in Duchess Cheng’s heart surged over her almost overwhelmingly. Her heart was practically about to leap out of her chest as she loudly demanded, “What did you say? Qi Yuan, what exactly are you saying? What did you do?!”
Qi Yuan frowned, her face full of confusion. “Duchess, what’s wrong with you?”
She looked anxiously toward Madam Xiang. “Aunt Xiang, please quickly find a doctor to examine Duchess Cheng. She seems to have been overstimulated and become somewhat delirious—”
Everyone else thought the same.
Who would not go mad after encountering such a thing?
Duchess Cheng had clearly been overstimulated, which was why she had lost control.
No one really wanted to continue watching the spectacle anymore.
To be honest, this spectacle was rather disgusting to watch as well.
The pity on Qi Yuan’s face vanished the moment she lowered her head.
She did not feel in the slightest that these people deserved pity.
If she had been an ordinary person, then the one lying here today would have been her.
At that time, how Duchess Cheng and Ling Qiang would have spoken in mocking insinuations was practically self-evident.
These people were exactly like this, however they treated others, that was only natural and proper.
But if anyone dared retaliate, then they were a b*tch and deserved death.
Why?
And she just happened not to be someone willing to suffer losses.
Why should she repay malice with virtue?
If one repaid malice with virtue, then with what should virtue be repaid?
Seeing the others crowd around to console Duchess Cheng, she took the opportunity to whisper into Duchess Cheng’s ear, “Madam, you should save a little strength. There are still matters later on.”
What other matters?
Duchess Cheng did not want to hear it at all. What could possibly be more important than what was happening right now?
She absolutely had to kill Qi Yuan!
Absolutely!
Once she returned, she would definitely mobilize all her power to strangle Qi Yuan!
From this day onward, she would do nothing else for the rest of her life.
She would only do one thing.
That was to fight Qi Yuan to the death!
She had to kill her!
No!
She had to make her die without a burial place!
Just as this thought surfaced in her mind, she saw someone hurriedly rush into the courtyard and say to Madam Xiang, “Madam! Young Master Ling Nine, he switched out our family’s hunting dogs. After being discovered, he fled, but then, but then he fell into a mountain ravine!”
