"livestock?"
Shangguan Yue frowned slightly, carefully considering Bei Rao's words, "Mother comparing her daughter to livestock is truly heartbreaking."
"Do you even have a heart? Why aren't you letting go of her?"
While Shangguan Yue was speaking, she did not loosen her grip at all. The maid's face turned bright red, and she even started rolling her eyes.
"But she did something that upset me, how can I let her get away with it?"
Shangguan Yue smiled, then suddenly increased the force in her hand, snapping the maid's neck with a "crack." Her neck lolled to the side, and she died instantly.
More blood spilled from the maid's lips. Shangguan Yue looked disgusted and quickly let go of her. The maid's body fell straight onto the ground, her eyes wide open in death.
Shangguan Yue acted as if nothing had happened, taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping her fair hands. Her movements were slow and gentle, and the smile on her lips was more terrifying than any ghost from hell.
Even Bei Rao hadn't expected Shangguan Yue to kill so readily. An innocent life was lost at her hands. Bei Rao was furious. "Shangguan Yue, you've already gotten what you wanted, why did you have to be so ruthless?"
"Mother, you flatter me."
Shangguan Yue wiped her fingers one by one with a handkerchief, then threw it on the ground. "Hasn't Mother heard of killing the chicken to scare the monkey? Of course, I can't touch Mother, so I can only use this method to make Mother behave. From now on, Mother will only have me as her daughter."
"..."
Bei Rao's eyes turned cold, her chest heaving. "Shangguan Yue, don't be so ruthless."
"I naturally take my mother's teachings to heart." Shangguan Yue nodded with a smile, glancing at the dead body lying on the ground. "I hope my mother can behave herself. After all, she still has some authority in the Divine Realm. Please don't make me angry, or it wouldn't be good if she ended up like this."
"you!"
As Shangguan Yue spoke these words, her gaze remained fixed on the maid who had just died on the ground. At that moment, Bei Rao suddenly felt a chill creep up from the soles of her feet.
It was as if a venomous snake had coiled its icy body around her neck, making her feel as if she were in an ice cellar.
Having achieved her goal, Shangguan Yue naturally had no reason to stay any longer. She glanced at Bei Rao, stood up from the palanquin, and walked to the ground. With one maid dead, she could no longer lift the palanquin.
"Mother, please stay in this palace and rest well. If there's nothing else, you shouldn't even go out into the courtyard."
After saying this, Shangguan Yue turned and walked towards the door, leaving the remaining three maids with a task: "Get rid of that unsightly corpse, but don't upset Mother."
"yes……"
The three maids nodded timidly, their voices trembling, their fear of Shangguan Yue ingrained in their very bones.
They all knew the shameful truth about Shangguan Yue's past, which meant that they could be killed by Shangguan Yue at any time.
After Shangguan Yue left, the three of them quickly carried the dead maid's body out, closed the door, and there was nothing else except for the faint bloodstains on the ground and the smell of blood in the air.
Bei Rao closed her eyes wearily, raised her hand to rub her temples, and adjusted the pillow as she lay down.
But when she touched the back of the pillow, her movement suddenly stopped, and she was slightly taken aback.
