The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 13 - Suffering in Silence

Ye Qichi's words shocked everyone.

At this moment, her presence was unmatched.

Zhou Ruotang was completely stunned, dumbfounded like a wooden chicken!

He probably never dreamed that Ye Qichi would have such a forceful day.

In memory, she was still that timid little girl who would only hide when seeing others, even though she has now become a Princess, it seemed impossible for her to suddenly become this formidable.

And on further reflection.

Ye Qichi's words were not only authoritative but also left her without any reason to refute.

Bi Qing had always spoken about breaking the "lady's" hairpin, naturally she knew Bi Qing's "lady" referred to herself, having managed the back house of the Minister Mansion for years, her power had grown increasingly large, with the servants flattering and calling her lady, which naturally pleased her, even though she had always seemed to refuse externally, but as time passed, no one challenged the title of "lady," not even Qin Mengxi, so she reluctantly accepted it.

After several years, she became accustomed to it.

Back when Ye Qichi was unmarried, they had already begun calling her "lady," but now she suddenly made it a significant issue.

Once it was made a significant issue, it meant she was not following the women's virtues, not adhering to the family's rules and etiquette.

In Daxuan Kingdom, hierarchical relationships are above all! She could not afford to be labeled with such an accusation.

Therefore, she could not possibly admit that the "lady" mentioned by Bi Qing was herself.

She could only swallow her anger in silence!

Zhou Ruotang unconsciously clenched his fists, holding back his anger as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Ye Qichi raised her eyes, "Did Aunt Zhou and my stepsister understand clearly?"

That disdainful expression towards them almost caused Ye Zhilan to scream out.

She originally came to embarrass Ye Qichi intentionally!

But unexpectedly, she was instead reprimanded by her.

"It was my misunderstanding." Zhou Ruotang instantly changed his expression.

"Mother..." Ye Zhilan did not have Zhou Ruotang's cunning and patience.

Ye Qichi gave a fierce glance.

Ye Zhilan was so frightened, her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly corrected herself, and even instinctively called out, "Aunt."

Ye Qichi smiled, that sneer.

Ye Zhilan, watching Ye Qichi's expression, was so angry she almost wanted to strangle her.

She was actually intimidated by Ye Qichi's mere look!

She was actually afraid of Ye Qichi!

"I apologize for disturbing the Princess and sister, I will take my leave now." Zhou Ruotang performed a courtesy.

"You may leave," Ye Qichi gestured with her hand and turned, heading directly towards the screen inside.

Zhou Ruotang watched Ye Qichi's calm and composed departure, grinding his teeth as he left with his entourage.

Ye Zhilan could not suppress her anger.

Once back in Zhou Ruotang's courtyard, she couldn't help but erupt, "Who does Ye Qichi think she is?! By what right does she slap me, by what right does she treat mother like this! She's just a Princess, does she really think she can lord over everyone!"

"Enough!" Zhou Ruotang looked extremely displeased.

It had been a long time since she had been this humiliated.

Her eyes hardened, and she fiercely slapped Bi Qing across the face.

Bi Qing was thrown to the ground, accidentally biting her lip and bleeding, yet not daring to make a noise.

"Useless dog servant!" Zhou Ruotang vented all her rage on Bi Qing.

"It is the servant's fault, the servant misspoke, the servant is willing to accept any punishment," Bi Qing quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Take her out and slap her mouth twenty times," Zhou Ruotang ordered.

Bi Qing simply didn't dare beg for mercy as she was dragged out.

Only to hear outside the room, a startling sound of slaps, scaring all the maids and servants inside to barely breathe.

"Mother." Ye Zhilan had grown accustomed to it, as any servant who displeased them would get beaten!

After Zhou Ruotang had vented her anger, she calmed down slightly and said fiercely, "Let the King take you as a concubine without delay!"

A sinister look also appeared on Ye Zhilan's face, "Once I am married there, I will definitely make Ye Qichi suffer!"

"Swallow your anger for now. Today is your father's birthday, let's just muddle through today first," Zhou Ruotang was ultimately rational.

"Yes." Ye Zhilan quickly nodded and added, "By the way, I noticed Ye Qichi seemed to dress up quite well today."

"What use is her dressing up? Whether it's music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, none can compare to you! It would suffice if she wisely doesn't attend the family banquet today, but if she does, I will make sure she loses face!" Zhou Ruotang said sinisterly.

Ye Zhilan couldn't help but feel a burst of pleasure at the thought of the possible scenario.

She had never taken Ye Qichi seriously!

...

After Ye Qichi had dealt with Zhou Ruotang and Ye Zhilan, Qin Mengxi, Lu You, and all the servants inside were stunned.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Ye Qichi was speechless.

Qin Mengxi came to her senses after a while, "Qi'er, you mustn't be possessed!"

This was no longer her Qi'er, she had completely changed.

"I was out of my body." Ye Qichi said bluntly.

It wasn't a lie.

It was indeed a soul out of body that turned her into Ye Qichi.

"You child." Qin Mengxi thought Ye Qichi was joking, she laughed, "You've changed a lot since marrying the King. He must have taught you a lot."

"..." That crazy guy, if he doesn't think about killing her for one day, she'd chant Amitabha!

Ye Qichi didn't explain any further.

She just looked at Qin Mengxi, who had finished her makeup.

Qin Mengxi, still only 35, although not favored in the Minister Mansion, her lifestyle was much better than ordinary families because of the rich dowry she had when she married, as long as she didn't squander it, it would be enough for her lifetime. Her skin was exceptionally well-maintained, revealing no signs of aging, and especially at this moment, meticulously made-up, she was absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous.

In her heyday before leaving her family, suitors nearly broke the doorstep of Qin Residence.

It was also because of Ye Zhengde's charming and talented demeanor that attracted Qin Mengxi, eventually making her choose to marry him.

The beauty of Ye Qichi was largely inherited from Qin Mengxi.

"Madam, you are so beautiful!" Lu You couldn't help exclaiming, "As beautiful as the Princess. Really, just the same."

All the people inside couldn't help but praise.

Qin Mengxi also seriously looked at herself in the copper mirror.

She was surprised by her appearance.

After marrying Ye Zhengde all these years, she hadn't really looked at herself properly.

She had almost forgotten, she was once the precious pearl held in the palm of many.

"Mother." Ye Qichi spoke, "Today depends on your performance."

Qin Mengxi's eyes were a bit red, she steadied her emotions and turned to look at her daughter, "What do you mean by that, Qi'er?"

"At today's family banquet, I want you to dazzle everyone!" Ye Qichi smiled, her words carrying an air of dominance.

It was as if there was a heroic and valiant feeling.

Qin Mengxi didn't know if she was influenced by her daughter.

A fighting spirit she had never experienced before was ignited at this moment.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll make sure you see a different mother!"
