At this moment, Ye Mingzhu felt somewhat resentful. It was bad enough that she had been beaten by Lin Xiuyan, but now Lin Xiuyan's parents were chasing after her mother and beating her too!

Most importantly, Lin Xiuyan's parents were the businessmen she looked down upon the most.

When Yan Nan escorted the mother and daughter to the back door, he was shot through the heart by an arrow just as they reached the doorway.

Her eyes widened in shock as she collapsed heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, and soon died.

Princess Pingnan's expression changed drastically, and Ye Qingwan's voice came: "I knew you would leave from here."

"Your Highness, guess whether you will die today?"

Princess Pingnan's face turned very ugly upon hearing this.

Because she had said those words to Ye Qingwan a few years ago when Ye Qingwan had just disfigured herself.

That time, Ye Qingwan was prepared and brought in the Prince of Pingnan, who saved her.

Today, Princess Pingnan has turned against Prince Pingnan, so he cannot possibly come to her rescue.

Ye Jingxian led his troops out of the city, and now his fate is uncertain, so it's impossible for him to come to his rescue.

This time, Princess Pingnan felt even more helpless than Ye Qingwan had been that day.

She took a deep breath and said, "I know you've always wanted to kill me to avenge your mother."

“You are a smart man, and you should know that if your father had not given his permission, I would not have been able to kill your mother.”

"If you really want to avenge your mother, go find your father!"

Ye Qingwan chuckled softly: "So this is what your deep affection as a couple looks like! Do you think I believe you?"

Princess Pingnan's expression changed slightly.

Ye Qingwan continued, "Last time, even though Father knew you were framed by us, he still locked you up."

"Now that you're in danger, you immediately revealed your father's identity, which is truly a pleasant surprise."

"I used to really think you two were a loving couple, but now I realize that you are both selfish and disgusting."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and bows and crossbows flew out, shooting towards the Princess of Pingnan.

Princess Consort of Pingnan: "!!!!!!!"

Ye Qingwan is so unpredictable!

She originally wanted to say a few more words to buy some time, hoping there might still be a chance for things to turn around.

But Ye Qingwan took direct action!

Her guards scrambled to shield her from arrows, and several fell in front of her.

Ye Mingzhu screamed in terror, "Ye Qingwan, are you crazy!"

Ye Qingwan didn't think she was crazy; on the contrary, she felt quite calm.

For Ye Mingzhu to dare speak to him in such a tone under these circumstances, she would be the one who's gone mad.

Ye Qingwan is always decisive in her actions, not to mention that their relationship was originally one of life or death, so there was no need for her to show mercy.

Upon hearing Ye Mingzhu's shout, Princess Pingnan felt conflicted. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mingzhu, hold them off here for a moment. Your mother will be right back!"

Before Ye Mingzhu could understand what Princess Pingnan meant, Princess Pingnan pushed her forward, and she quickly ran back into the house.

Ye Mingzhu asked urgently, "Mother, where are you going?"

Princess Pingnan did not answer. Instead, she ran quickly, lifted the fireplace door, and went straight inside.

Ye Mingzhu stood there blankly. Even if she was stupid, she knew that the Princess of Pingnan had abandoned her.

An arrow pierced her chest, and she stood there, stunned, finally understanding one thing:

Although Princess Pingnan doted on her greatly, in Princess Pingnan's heart, her position was far less important than that of Ye Jingxian and Princess Pingnan herself.

Ye Jingxian is the hope of Princess Pingnan, while the Night-Shining Pearl is merely a tool to help Ye Jingxian consolidate her position.

This realization nearly caused the Night-Shining Pearl to collapse!

But it was all too late!

Her respected mother used her as a pawn, her father no longer doted on her, and her brother probably never really cared about her either.

She used to think she was the brightest jewel in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, but now she realizes she's nothing at all!

She looked in the direction where Princess Pingnan had left, hoping that Princess Pingnan would turn around and look at her.

However, Princess Pingnan did not turn around at all after hearing her screams; she had already escaped through the tunnel.

Ye Mingzhu used to think that her life was extremely happy, but she found that she had nothing before she died.

She used to look down on Ye Qingwan, thinking that no one loved her and that she had to fight for everything herself.

But at this moment, she was very envious of Ye Qingwan. Ye Junfei truly loved his younger sister Ye Qingwan. Since his return, he had been doing everything he could to protect her.

Not only was Ye Junfei kind to Ye Qingwan, but Lin Xiuyan was also extremely kind to Ye Qingwan, protecting her in every way.

At this moment, she didn't hate Ye Qingwan who killed her, but she hated the Princess of Pingnan who abandoned her.

Blood gushed wildly from her mouth, and she died with her eyes open, truly dying with her eyes wide open.

When Ye Qingwan walked over and saw the luminous pearl, she sighed softly.

She said softly, "You probably won't understand until you die that your father and queen are extremely heartless people. In their eyes, there is only power."

"They are capable of anything for power, and are willing to abandon everything."

"Royal daughters have always been commodities with a price tag; so-called favor is nothing more than a means to sell them for a high price."

Qu Shuangyue cursed from the side, "I've never seen such a disgusting mother, pushing her own daughter out just to save her own life."

She had never dealt with luminous pearls before and didn't know how disgusting they were.

But now, not only has the luminous pearl been abandoned by its birth mother, but it has also been used as a shield, which is truly pitiful.

Qu Shuangyue didn't understand Princess Pingnan's thoughts either. In her heart, Lin Xiuyan was her most precious treasure.

She would rather die herself than let Lin Xiuyan suffer any harm.

Ye Qingwan sniffed softly and took Qu Shuangyue's arm: "Mother, will you love me from now on?"

Qu Shuangyue had always thought that Ye Qingwan was joking when she shamelessly called her "mother".

But when she saw what the Princess of Pingnan was doing, she felt sorry for Ye Qingwan, who had lost her mother at a young age.

Ultimately, Ye Qingwan was a pitiful child who had never felt her mother's love.

At this moment, Qu Shuangyue's maternal love overflowed, and she nodded slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, you will have everything that Yan'er has in the future."

Ye Qingwan paused for a moment, her eyes reddening, and said softly, "Thank you, Mother!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yunzhi thought Ye Qingwan was too cunning and Qu Shuangyue was too soft-hearted.

However, he could tell that Ye Qingwan genuinely wanted to get closer to them, so he didn't stop her.

Fan Xilou said, "We can't let Princess Pingnan escape. If she escapes now, it will be difficult to kill her later!"

Everyone understands this principle, but just now, the guards beside Princess Pingnan risked their lives to protect her.

While everyone was being stopped, Princess Pingnan jumped into the tunnel and ran away.
