Qianbei Xun still did not look at her as his lips curled into a disdainful smile.

　　“Ten years ago, I had met a truly shameless woman. That woman had fallen for my father but she, who was clearly pregnant with another man’s child, insisted on shamelessly causing trouble at my parents’ wedding and claimed that the child in her belly was my father’s. Now, I’ve just met a woman who is as shameless as her.”

　　Zuo Qianqian did not need to think too far to know that Qianbei Xun was referring to her.

　　“You…”

　　She did not dare to throw her tantrums at Qianbei Xun so she pointed at Feng Qianhuan instead. “Look at the kind of man you’ve brought back. I must report this matter to my Imperial Father. You just wait and see.”

　　Crack!

　　A clear noise suddenly rang out. The crowd only heard a sharp noise before they noticed Zuo Qianqian’s fractured finger. Blood was trickling down from the tip of her finger endlessly.

　　The color drained from her face instantly and she stumbled several steps back and nearly collapsed onto the ground.

　　Even the Imperial palace guards were in a daze.

　　Qianbei Xun’s attack was so fast that they were unable to stop him in time. They could only watch as he injured Zuo Qianqian.

　　“Xue’er is my woman.” Qianbei Xun’s cold and arrogant face lit up with a scornful smile as he directed his icy glare at Zuo Qianqian who was on the verge of collapsing. “I will cripple whichever finger you point at her!”

　　Feng Qianhuan placed her hands across her chest and looked at Zuo Qianqian with a forced smile.

　　However, deep down inside, she was moved by Qianbei Xun’s action of standing up for her! After all, he was the only one who had stood up for her ever since she had arrived on this mainland.

　　How could she not feel moved?

　　“Why are you still here?”

　　Qianbei Xun bellowed. At that moment, a powerful force slammed against Zuo Qianqian’s body and pushed her out of the way to land pathetically in the crowd.

　　“Let’s go, wife.”

　　He no longer spared the crowd a second look as he grabbed Feng Qianhuan’s arm and pulled her forward into the street.

　　No one dared to stand in their way.

　　“I’m going to kill them. I must kill you both!”

　　Zuo Qianqian’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as she watched the pair leave. She then gritted her teeth as she spat maliciously.

　　…

　　At the Imperial Palace.

　　Concubine Liu nearly jumped with fright when she saw Zuo Qianqian’s blood-drenched body being carried inside. She hurriedly rushed forward to hug her injured daughter as she asked with a furious look on her face, “Who was it who had hurt Qianqian?”

　　The guards looked at each other. In the end, one of them stood out to make the report. “Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, it was the Sixth Princess, Feng Qianhuan, who had hurt the Fourth Princess ¹ .”

　　“What?” Concubine Liu was enraged and she slammed her hand violently on the wall. “Feng Qianhuan! That sl*t had dared lay a finger on my daughter! I want her to suffer a fate worse than death and you, you’re a bunch of useless things who can’t even protect the Fourth Princess properly. How do you intend to pay for this offense?”

　　Thud!

　　The guards knelt to the ground in unison, “Please forgive us, Imperial Concubine.”

　　“Hmph, you had failed to protect the princess and you all deserve to die! Men, take them all away and beat them to death!” A vicious light flashed in Concubine Liu’s eyes as a malignant look appeared on her beautiful and alluring face.

　　“Yes, Imperial Concubine.”

　　The guards behind her stepped forward once they received her order and took the guards who had failed to protect the princess. Not long after that, mournful wails could be heard outside the palace’s bedchamber. Their heart-wrenching shrieks echoed throughout the sky.
