A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Yingying's face.

She looked at Di Jingling with a puzzled expression, and even a little sad.

"Regent...you must believe me, my sister is truly possessed by a demon."

She subconsciously tugged at Xiao Rourou twice with her hand under the table.

She hoped that Xiao Rourou could say a few words on her behalf.

After all, Xiao Rourou seems to have a different kind of feeling for the Regent.

Xiao Rourou's master had repeatedly instructed the Regent to treat her well, so he was certain that his words would be heard.

but……

Xiao Rourou quietly pulled her hand away from under the table.

Xiao Yingying stared at her in shock, utterly incredulous.

The sisters usually have a very good relationship...

"If you refuse to apologize, fine, chop off both your hands." Di Jingling was no ordinary person; with a wave of his hand, he issued the order.

Seeing that Yan Jiu and Yan Shi were coming forward, it was clear that they were going to attack her.

Xiao Yingying trembled with fright and immediately cried out, "If you don't believe me, I'll go get the Demon-Revealing Mirror right now and let you see it clearly!"

【Oh ho, a demon-revealing mirror?】

I think you should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, wouldn't that be more appropriate?

Even so, Yan Jiu and Yan Shi still held Xiao Yingying down with expressionless faces.

One left and one right.

One of them held a knife, and the other a sword, as if they were about to strike.

"Father, Mother, help me, waaaah!" Xiao Yingying was terrified and cried out for help.

She had seen all sorts of storms on Shensuan Mountain, but she never expected to encounter something like this today!

That regent was the man she most wanted to marry when she was a child.

Who could have imagined that he would be so heartless, cutting off people's hands without hesitation?

Duke Xiao was also nervous.

He might plead for anyone else, but he dared not do so for the Regent!

During court sessions, he was like a coward, never daring to utter a word about anything, big or small.

I'm afraid that once I say these words, I'll get into trouble and my death will be imminent.

The imperial court has recently been rife with bloodshed and turmoil.

All those who were close to the Seventh Prince were completely eliminated by the Regent.

He kept it, probably because he was Xiao Tang's father; the identity of a father-in-law was quite useful.

He dared not utter a sound.

But Liu Ruyan wouldn't do that. She spoke up: "Your Highness, my Yingying is still young and it's normal for her to be ignorant. You can't treat Yingying like this."

Xiao Rourou immediately chimed in, "Your Majesty, my sister has just become a bit spoiled since she was raised on Shensuan Mountain. Please don't be angry."

However, the regent sat upright in his seat, seemingly unmoved by reason.

Xiao Rourou bit her lower lip and turned to look at Xiao Tang.

"Sister, we're all sisters, please help your little sister."

Xiao Tang secretly rolled her eyes in the man's arms.

Oh wow, now you think I'm your sister?

You once tried to kill me.

[What a load of rubbish.]

Di Jingling lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. "What does the Princess Consort think?"

"Ah... please don't cut anymore, it will only taint Yan Jiu and Yan Shi's swords. My husband, I don't want to see this person's blood, it stinks!"

However, if we cut him like this, the sect leader will be angry later.

[It's better to let her bring it on herself.]

The man's breath fell on her head, and he gave a soft "hmm," "Since the princess says she doesn't want to be too cruel..."

His gaze deepened.

All members of the Xiao family breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It seems that only if Xiao Tang speaks up will the Regent show some respect?

However, to everyone's surprise, the man coldly said, "Just dislocate her arms."

Showing absolutely no mercy.

Xiao Tang couldn't help but shrink back.

His breath lingered around my ear, so alluring and captivating, though it was icy cold, it felt like it would scorch my skin.

She coughed softly twice.

The Xiao family members over there were struck dumb.

Yan Jiu and Yan Shi were probably already used to it, and dragged Xiao Yingying outside.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xiao Tang remembered something and called out to them again, "I'd really like to see your demon-revealing mirror. Why don't you take it out and let us see it?"

Xiao Yingying was trembling with fear, her face deathly pale.

She didn't dare to say a word.

Hearing Xiao Tang say this, her eyes reddened a little. "Sister... I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again."

"Oh ho." Xiao Tang let out a strange laugh, propped herself up from the man's arms, and pointed her slender finger at Xiao Yingying's face, "In that case, you'd better apologize with some sincerity."

Xiao Yingying felt aggrieved inside and looked wronged on the outside. She bent her knees and finally knelt down.

She kowtowed twice to the man.

"Sister, why are you kowtowing to my husband? You have offended me; you shouldn't be kowtowing to me."

[Haha, right now I feel like a real bad guy.]

[Suddenly I'm experiencing the joy of being a bad guy, hehe.]

As soon as I finished humming, I was pinched on the waist.

She looked up, her face full of confusion.

Countless question marks appeared in his eyes.

Over there, Xiao Yingying had no choice but to kneel on the ground and slowly shuffle to Xiao Tang's feet.

She reached out and hugged Xiao Tang's leg.

She immediately burst into tears.

"Sister, please plead with the Regent! I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't blame me."

He then kowtowed vigorously.

Judging from the force with which she kowtowed, it was really heavy.

The loud thuds broke the hearts of Duke Xiao and Liu Ruyan on the other side.
