Distressed Concubine

Chapter 24 Ye Yun
As for the lost property, since the Zhao family has paid a little, it can't be considered a heavy loss.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lian Qinghua smiled. "I see. It seems that I have misunderstood you."

"Your Majesty is serious. In fact, your Majesty was only instigated by an adulterer."

Aunt Zhao was shocked, Nalan Ruixue's ability to beat her up is really not small.

As expected, Concubine Lian's phoenix eyes flashed fiercely, and she glared at Aunt Zhao. "Bold woman, how dare to confuse me, come here, clap your mouth!"

Gui Shangyi didn't fan Nalan Ruixue just now, but at the moment her heart was on fire, and after hearing the order, she seemed to have found a way to vent.

Stepping forward, she slapped Aunt Zhao's face fiercely.

"Snapped!"

The loud slap resounded throughout the main hall, shocking everyone.

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged." Aunt Zhao cried bitterly, knelt down on her knees and moved towards Concubine Lian's feet.

"Go away." Seeing that Aunt Zhao was about to grab her golden sleeves, she waved impatiently.

Nalan Ruqiu, who was kneeling on the spot and keeping silent, raised her head, glanced at Concubine Lian with her sinister gaze, and then turned to Nalan Ruixue's face leisurely.

Her self-confidence, her calmness, everything looks so eye-catching.

Rui Xue smiled contemptuously at Ru Qiu, and turned her head to the other side.

In the hall, the sound of slaps and Aunt Zhao's screams of pain can be heard endlessly.

Concubine Lian was probably tired of hearing it, she patted Nalan Ruixue's hand meaningfully, and walked out first.

Gui Shangyi slapped several times in frustration, and then left with a group of court ladies.

When she passed by Nalan Ruixue, she paused and threw a fierce blow at Ruixue.

The hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence, except for Aunt Zhao's faint inhalation, everyone else was dumbfounded watching all this.

The changes were too fast, and everyone present couldn't comprehend what Concubine Lian was thinking. How could she trust Nalan Ruixue for no apparent reason, and turn her back on Aunt Zhao?

Ru Qiu helped Aunt Zhao up, only to see that her mother's face had been slapped with five fingers, it was flushed red, and the corners of her mouth were even more bloody.

After Aunt Zhao got up, she looked at Nalan Ruixue furiously.

"Bitch! How dare you trick your mother into oppressing your concubine!"

Nalan Ruixue put away the faint smile on her face, and looked at Aunt Zhao coldly.

"Say it again." Youyou's voice spit out each word lightly, following her step by step towards Aunt Zhao, every step was startling.

Aunt Zhao met her wolf-like stern eyes and shivered unconsciously.

Seeing this, Ruqiu hastily tugged on her sleeves, signaling her to bear it for now, but Aunt Zhao felt wronged today.

There were also Huishi's mother and daughter who watched her jokes and Fang's mother and daughter who had always been dissatisfied with her, not to mention a room full of maids and servants.

If Nalan Ruixue can't be restrained today, why will she gain power in the General's Mansion in the future?

"I said, you are a bitch, just like your mother, you are a bitch!"

"Snapped!"

Accompanied by Aunt Zhao's words, was a louder slap in the face.

She threw herself sideways and fell hard to the ground.

Nalan Ruixue slapped her, fast, accurate, ruthless!When she fell to the ground, everyone reacted.

The young miss actually beat the concubine in public!

There was a sound of gasping all around.

Aunt Zhao shook her head, only to feel a buzzing in her ears, and her face was even numb from the burn.

Raising her head, she caught a glimpse of everyone's eyes towards her from the corner of her eye. Her anger was like a boiling frying pan, which intensified.

Standing up, Cong pointed at Nalan Ruixue's forehead.

"Are you rebelling? How dare you beat your concubine? Is there any royal law in the Nalan family!" The sharp voice almost pierced people's eardrums.

Nalan Ruixue raised her cold eyes, grabbed the onion finger, and snapped it off with her backhand. There was a crisp "crack bang", and then Aunt Zhao screamed like killing a pig.

The Biluo knife in the sleeve flew and cut, reaching her neck.

"something wrong?"

There was no trace of warmth in the cold eyes, and half-closed bloodthirsty eyes warned her that if she dared to utter even half a disrespectful word, she would wait for the body to be separated.

Seeing this, Ruqiu immediately pushed Aunt Zhao away to protect her behind, raised her chin and said coldly: "Nalan Ruixue! How dare you!"

The eyes of the two collided slightly, like sparks ignited, bursting out thousands of flames.

"What dare I not?" She sneered.

The Biluo knife cuts straight into the cheeks like autumn flowers!

In the blink of an eye, a white light flashed and bounced off her blade. Although she didn't let go, it completely changed her strength.

Ru Qiu is not proficient in martial arts, but as the daughter of a general, she has learned a little bit, and she escaped smoothly in just this moment.

Unexpectedly, Nalan Ruixue really dared to attack!
The white light flew over and directly inserted above the word "Wu" in the center of the hall.After shaking it, I realized that it was a sharp sword.

Nalan Ruixue looked at the sharp sword, the corners of her mouth raised in joy, and she looked towards the door.

A middle-aged man in a navy blue robe walked in with his hands behind his back. He was tall and tall, slightly taller than the average Nantong people. He had a beard around his lips, his brows were like swords, his cheeks were like knives, and his pair of sharp eyes His eagle eyes make people awe-inspiring at first glance, and dare not make mistakes.

"father"

"I have seen the master."

Nalan Xingde raised his eyes and glanced at the hall. Everyone saluted in a regular manner and did not dare to breathe.

Aunt Zhao hid behind Ru Qiu tremblingly, feeling her heart was about to jump out.

He shouldn't have heard it?If he heard her insulting Susan and Nalan Ruixue, wouldn't he skin her?
"It seems that I am not in the mansion, is this going to turn the world upside down?"

The voice was not loud, but everyone trembled in their hearts.

"Zhao Huan, if you are restless, stay in the Mingyue Pavilion and don't come out. You will make a big noise in the capital and blow up the mansion. You will really bring glory to my Nalan family!"

Nalan Xingde's unsightly coldness made Aunt Zhao's already uneasy heart burn like ashes in an instant.

She hastily fell to her knees.

"My lord, my lord, it's not like that, it's not..."

"Enough!" Nalan Xingde didn't have time to watch her performance, he flicked his sleeve robe. "Confinement for half a month! Think carefully, if you have trouble again, you can go back to Zhao's house."

Nalan Ruqiu clenched her fists and sneered in her heart.It's like this again, every time something happens, she doesn't ask the reason at all, she just blindly favors Nalan Ruixue, she even almost killed her just now, just like this, father didn't say a word.

She is her own, isn't she!

Ru Qiu only felt blood dripping from her heart, like being pricked by a needle, like being run over by a car, shattered into pieces all over the ground.

"Rui Xue, follow me." Nalan Xingde finished his order and walked out first.

Nalan Ruixue followed him to a courtyard full of long willows, and dark blue curtains were hung all around the corridor.Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a smell of burning incense came to the face. On the incense table in the middle of the room, there were tablets of the ancestors of the Nalan family.

Nalan Xingde held up three sticks of incense, bowed and plugged in the incense burner.

"My Nalan family has been loyal from generation to generation. I am ashamed of the heaven above and of the common people below. Only my unfilial son Nalan Xingde has no heirs, and his fortune is scarce. I hope that the ancestors will bless my son Nalan Ruixue to find a good marriage. The unfilial son Nalan Xingde is willing to shorten his life ten years to atone for his crime."

"Father!" She looked up in astonishment.

Nalan Xingde sighed slightly, and said slowly: "Xue'er, kowtow to the ancestors."

She burned incense with bare hands and knelt on the cattail mat.

"She's your sister after all, don't bring the army stuff into your home."

"Yes."

Nalan Xingde turned around and looked at her sharply with eagle eyes. "Who was the man who helped you out that day?"

Her heart skipped a beat, her father's news was so well-informed, her eyes sank slightly. "Bei Gongsheng."

Nalan Xingde was shocked, Bei Gongsheng?Is it Bei Gongsheng, the god of war prince from Beichang?Why did he come to Nantong?

Touching his beard, he said in a deep voice, "Say it exactly!"

This matter will not be simple, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"He came this time, I think he came here to scout out the terrain, and wanted to take me to Nantong, and track down Su Mo to the mansion, I'm afraid..." She said in a deep voice, "At this moment, he already knows my identity."

"What!" Nalan Xingde was shocked, this person is so powerful?I asked myself since Rui Xue entered the barracks, no one except her family knew her identity within five years, how could she be broken down to such a point in just a few days?This person is smart, far beyond his expectations.

"He proposed marriage to me, but I refused. We made a bet that if I didn't fall in love with her within three months, he would voluntarily give up Nantong."

"What if you fall in love with him?" Nalan Xingde knew that this person's bet would not stop there.

"I'll go to Beichang with him." Nalan Ruixue lifted her pupils and said coldly, "Accompany him to fight the world."

"Confused! How can you make such a bet? What kind of man is he? He is versatile in both civil and military affairs, unique in the world. If he really wants you, can you resist it?"

"War is cruel. If you can save my Nantong without fighting or bloodshed, why not gamble?" She looked at her father with cold eyes, and the firmness in her eyes made Nalan Xingde hesitate.

"This..." He is the one who licks blood on the tip of a knife. The destruction brought about by war is a catastrophe.

Defending the country and swearing allegiance to the death has always been the most sacred mission of the Nalan clan. From the founding of the country to his generation, the Nalan clan has only lived for this.

If it can be fought without bloodshed, it will be the best ending.

"Can……"

Nalan Ruixue smiled confidently. "Father, don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure."

Standing up slowly, she whispered into his ear.

Nalan Xingde looked serious. "You mean, let Ye Yun..."

Nalan Ruixue nodded. "It's about time."

"Since that's the case, let's do it this way. Ruqiu's wedding date is set on the sixth day of June. Look..."

"Today is March [-]th, let's make it April."

"In such a hurry?" Nalan Xingde was dissatisfied, even though it was just a stopgap measure, it was so hasty, how could he be worthy of Rui Xue's mother Susan.

"The sooner you get rid of his thoughts, the better."

Nalan Xingde thought for a while, and finally nodded. "Let Ye Yun come to the mansion tomorrow."

The bright spring light filled the courtyard, and among the snow peonies in the garden, the beautiful white shadow held a sword and chopped all the way. Thousands of petals peeled off the branches with Ling Lie's sword energy, lifted into the air, and fell slowly .

The white shadow is like a vigorous hunting swallow, like a light butterfly, in the rain of falling petals, it is full of domineering and aggressive.

It has to be faster!Nalan Ruixue imagined the snow peony in front of her to be Bei Gongcheng's face, and her strikes were quicker and more ruthless than before, just looking at the branches that were gradually withering, she knew that every assassination move did not leave any room.

Suddenly, a green glow came, with Ling Lie's fierce aura, directly hit the empty door on her back.

Her ears moved slightly, and she felt the movement behind her. A fish leaped over the dragon gate and rolled behind the opponent.

The corner of the purple figure's mouth curled up into a slight smile, the edge of the sword turned slightly, and the sharp blade that came back against her "bang" sparks.

Looking at each other, Nalan Ruixue withdrew her sword with a faint smile. "It came pretty fast."

"You don't dare to delay looking for me." Ye Yun smiled brilliantly.

His knife-like face is sharp and angular, and the brown pupils on the bridge of his straight nose are like crystal amber, shining brightly, and his smile is like a clear mountain spring.And the cold and proud demeanor around him was almost carved out of the same mold as Nalan Ruixue.
