After listening to Yu Yunxi’s words, Qian Qing’s face paled as realization dawned on her.
Lady Zhang asked Jian Zhong uneasily, “Marquis, what does she mean by that? What does this have to do with Prince An?”
Jian Zhong’s mind was racing with thoughts, and his expression gradually turned grave.
When she did not get a response, Lady Zhang turned around and said to Jian Si, “Hurry up and tell your brother-in-law about your sister.”
Jian Si averted her gaze before she took a few steps back.
Seeing that her beloved daughter ignored her as well, Lady Zhang raised her head and shouted, “Prince Rui, something happened to Xin!”
However, Prince Rui remained unmoved. He narrowed his eyes and sized Yu Yunxi up. A hint of killing intent could be seen in the depths of his eyes. He did not expect her to figure things out so quickly. However, since she knew his secret, she would not be able to live for long.
Feng Weirui said coldly, “Men, these bandits deliberately plotted against the Princess Consort. They deserve to die ten thousand times…”
The soldiers seemed prepared and rushed out as soon as the order was given.
The remaining bandits panicked. They grabbed Jian Zhong and Lady Zhang, intending to use the duo as hostages and shields.
Alas, the soldiers acted as though they did not see the duo as they brandished their swords fiercely.
Lady Zhang could not dodge in time, and her arm was cut. It was only now that she realized something was wrong.
‘Isn’t Prince Rui here to save us? Why did his men hurt us?’
Qian Qing’s eyes were red and filled with hostility as she said, “Feng Weirui, you b*stard! You killed my elder sister!”
Qian Qing raised her sword and slashed at the neck of the guard who was about to attack her before she rushed toward Feng Weirui.
Feng Weirui looked at Qian Qing contemptuously as he said with a scoff, “You overestimate yourself.”
Prince Rui’s secret guards rushed out and surrounded Qian Qing immediately. Although she was highly skilled, she could not win against so many people.
Yu Yunxi placed Jian Xin on the ground before she joined the battle. She brandished her sword, reaping the lives of the people from Prince Rui’s Residence. In just a short moment, her face was covered in blood. Her hand gripped the sword tightly as her cold gaze was fixed on Feng Weirui.
Feng Weirui was still sitting on the horse. He had no intention of personally making a move. He looked at them indifferently as though they were trapped beasts.
Yu Yunxi’s anger burned high in her heart when she saw Feng Weirui’s indifference. She questioned him icily, “Prince Rui, the vice leader of these bandits is your man, right? You’re a thief crying, thief! In order to deal with Prince An, you didn’t even hesitate to sacrifice your Princess Consort! She’s your wife! Don’t you feel guilty?!”
Feng Weirui scoffed. “I’m a prince. Even if she dies, there are still plenty of women who want to marry into Prince Rui’s Residence as Princess Consort Rui. Moreover, her health is bad. Who knows if the child she gives birth to will be a burden to me in the future? How many women in the capital are willing to give birth to my children in the capital? Why should I feel guilty?”
Feng Weirui truly did not feel any guilt at all. There was only annoyance at why Jian Xin did not die earlier.
Yu Yunxi took a deep breath. Feeling suffocated on Jian Xin’s behalf.
Jian Xin was definitely aware of Feng Weirui’s thoughts. Otherwise, she would not have returned to Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence when she was pregnant.
‘How much did she suffer? What kind of burden did she bear?’
“You, you…”
Jian Zhong, who heard Feng Weirui’s words, turned red in anger, and he panted heavily, looking like he was going to faint.
Lady Zhang did not know what else to do and could only cry out anxiously,
“Marquis, Marquis!”
Lady Zhang was still muddle-headed at this moment. She turned to Feng Weirui and said, “Prince Rui, the Marquis’ health isn’t good so he can’t accept such a blow. You were just joking, right? How could you not care about Xin’s life and death?”
“How noisy! Kill them all for me! Third Imperial Brother, I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do if my Princess Consort and Marquis Jian Zhong die here today…” Feng Weirui said. He could hardly conceal the pride in his eyes.
Feng Weirui had long been sick of Jian Xin. She always maintained a lofty appearance. If it were not for the fact that his father bestowed the marriage, he would have never married a woman like her. His action today would not only get rid of her and free the position of Princess Consort Rui, but it would also deal a blow to his third brother. It was really killing two birds with one stone. Lady Zhang’s face turned ashen. “P-prince Rui, are you really going to kill us?”
“What an idiot! She’s still muddle-headed,” Feng Weirui said disdainfully. He said to the people behind him, “Send them to meet Jian Xin.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
“Prince Rui, you’ll suffer the wrath of heaven for your actions!” Lady Zhang shouted angrily. However, when she saw the guards with bloody swords approaching her, she began to tremble. She quickly shouted, “County Princess, please save us!”
Lady Zhang did not expect Yu Yunxi and Qian Qing to be so strong. In her opinion, it should not be difficult for them to save her.
Yu Yunxi only scoffed coldly. She had no intention of making a move at all.
Lady Zhang glared at Yu Yunxi. Seeing that the guards were fast approaching, she turned to Qian Qing and said in a commanding tone, “I know that you’re Jian Qing. You’re a member of the Jian family! You can’t just leave us in the lurch!”
Witnout waiting ror (Ilan Qing’s response, yu yunxl sama witn a sneer, “A member of the Jian family? Marchioness Jian, instead of ordering Jian Qing around, it’s better for you to beg your third daughter to spare your life.”
‘Jian Si?’
‘What does she mean?’
A strange expression appeared on Jian Zhong and Lady Zhang’s faces when they heard these words. Then, the husband and wife turned to look at Jian Si, who was hiding behind them.
Yu Yunxi looked at Jian Si and said in an increasingly cold voice, “Third Miss Jian, oh, no, it should be the future Princess Consort Rui. You forced your sister to die because of a man. You’re really terrifying.”
Yu Yunxi regretted not killing Jian Xi earlier.
Lady Zhang asked, panicking, “Si, what’s going on? What future Princess Consort Rui?”
At this moment, Feng Weirui waved at Jian Si and said, “Si, why aren’t you by my side?”
