Chunhong and Xingtao knew that they could not help much if they stayed here, so they quickly slipped out while the quarrel was going on in the yard.
Mu Qingqing was also worried that Zhao Yingying would encourage everyone to force their way in and disturb her cousin's recovery. Although she was a little afraid of Zhao Yingying, she still stepped forward to dissuade him: "Sister Yingying, General Zhu, please trust Sister Wan and me just once. We will definitely be able to save my cousin."
"How dare you go after that little hoof."
Zhao Yingying glared at her fiercely, then signaled Zhu Wencai and the soldiers to force their way inside.
Ting Feng immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Zhao Yingying: "Miss Zhao, if you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for not recognizing you with this sword in my hand."
Zhao Yingying was not afraid at all and continued to move forward: "I want to see how capable you are."
Ting Feng's hand holding the sword was shaking. Mu Qingqing knew that he was just trying to scare her cousin and would never dare to actually do anything.
Hurrying to block the way to the door, Mu Qingqing said sternly, "Sister Yingying, General Zhu, I've already told you that my cousin is not dead. He looks much better now and he will definitely wake up. You can't barge in."
Zhao Yingying became even more displeased with her stubbornness and kicked her to the ground, causing her head to hit the ground heavily.
Zhu Wencai was stunned. After all, they were both cousins from the palace, and he couldn't just stand by and watch Mu Qingqing being bullied. He was about to help her when Zhao Yingying yelled at him, "You idiot, you still don't repent. Why are you helping her? Drag her out immediately."
"Ms. Yingying, Miss Mu is the Concubine's niece after all. Why are you so cruel?"
Yan Jin couldn't stand it anymore and walked forward to argue angrily.
"So what? If my aunt hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on arranging this marriage with the Ji family, how could my cousin have ended up like this?"
Thinking of her aunt's refusal to arrange a marriage between her and her cousin, which led to her cousin's death in Qizhou, Zhao Yingying was furious. "Now that my cousin is gone, my mother is the mistress of the Yongning Palace. It is not the Zhang family's turn to interfere in the palace's affairs."
After saying this, he glanced at everyone fiercely and said sternly: "Anyone who dares to stop me from avenging my cousin today will be an enemy of the Yongning Palace."
Yan Jin and Zhu Wencai looked at each other, both at a loss.
"Zhu Wencai, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and drag this idiot from the Mu family out." Zhao Yingying yelled at Zhu Wencai.
Zhu Wencai was at his wit's end and was about to signal someone to go forward and drag Mu Qingqing away when Ye Wanshu suddenly rushed over.
"I wonder who dares to touch her."
Seeing the girl's forehead bleeding from a knock, Ye Wanshu felt distressed and quickly helped her up. She glared at Zhao Yingying in dissatisfaction, "Qingqing, you are the only daughter of the Dingyuan Marquisate, and Concubine Zhang is your aunt. They are both cousins of the Yongning Prince's Palace. You are no less than her, so why should you give in to her?"
Mu Qingqing was about to speak when Zhao Yingying glared at her fiercely: "How can such a clueless fool like her be compared with me?"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ye Wanshu and said with great disdain, "Are you that little bitch from the Ye family?"
Ye Wanshu's eyes darkened, and without saying anything, she slapped her in the face.
"You...you are so brave that you dare to hit me." Zhao Yingying widened her eyes in surprise and stared at her.
The rest of the people looked at Ye Wanshu in astonishment, finding everything that was happening before their eyes unbelievable.
"You are the daughter of Princess Qining, but you are so ignorant of etiquette. If you keep talking nonsense, I will not just beat you up."
Ye Wanshu snatched the whip from Tingfeng's waist and said with a fierce look, "I'm going to whip you harder."
"you......"
Zhao Yingying choked with anger, and looking at the whip in her hand, she felt a chill again. She looked at Zhu Wencai in frustration and said, "Are you blind? Why don't you arrest this evil woman?"
Zhu Wencai was stunned. He just wanted to get the prince's body back as soon as possible and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Seeing that the guards around him and in the courtyard had all drawn their swords, Zhu Wencai could only plead softly, "Miss Ye, even if my prince shouldn't have hastily canceled your engagement, you've been making such a fuss for so long, it's time to give up. Please return your prince's body to us."
Ye Wanshu had lost all patience with his stubbornness and shook her head, saying, "General Zhu, I've already said that I have no ill intentions in keeping your Highness. He's in poor health right now and needs to rest."
"My cousin has been in a coma for a month, and you still want to torture him?"
Zhao Yingying's expression was filled with agony as she shouted, "You teased him everywhere when he was alive, and now that he's dead you won't let him rest in peace. How can you be so cruel?"
No longer interested in arguing with her, Zhao Yingying fiercely ordered, "Zhu Wencai, I'm giving you one chance to redeem yourself. Kill this little bitch immediately. Otherwise, when we return to Yuezhou, I'll have my mother kill your entire family."
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep and powerful voice suddenly came in.
"You are so arrogant! You can kill my daughter Ji Yuan whenever you want?"
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw Ji Yuan rushing in with a dense group of soldiers, quickly surrounding the entire yard.
Seeing the wound on Mu Qingqing's forehead, Tao Anran hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss Mu, who hurt you like this?"
"She's stupid, who can she blame?"
Zhao Yingying rolled her eyes with disdain and didn't take the newcomers seriously at all.
Ji Yuan had been in and out of the officialdom for many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a domineering woman. He guessed that she was the only daughter of Princess Qi Ning and snorted coldly, "Princess Qi Ning is of noble status. I have always respected the children of the royal family. I didn't want to embarrass her daughter, but Miss Zhao is so arrogant. It's not too much for me to teach her useless daughter a lesson today."
