420 The Urge to Kill Him

When she turned around, she saw Yan Nuo and Yan Qin standing in front of her. The arrogant old nanny was already unconscious on the ground.

“Miss An, are you alright?”

Yan Nuo did not dare to address An Jiuyue as “Mistress” because they were not in Qiongzhi Courtyard.

They had a shock just now. They did not expect Xue Yingyue, that old woman, to seize the opportunity to take their mistress away after Prince Sui stopped her outside for a while.

Fortunately, they arrived in time!

An Jiuyue pursed her lips and replied through gritted teeth, “I… I’m fine!”

Her plan to investigate the tiger’s den had been foiled before she could carry it out.

“What are you two doing here?”

“We’re here to protect you, Miss An,” Yan Qin said matter-of-factly.

She was so close to entering Xue Yingyue’s courtyard. It would be difficult for her to leave.

That woman dared to use all sorts of underhanded methods, including poison. If their mistress was injured, they would not be absolved from blame even if they died 10,000 times.

Protect? What protect?

An Jiuyue really wanted to shout at them, but she held back after some thought.

They were only concerned about her safety. She could not blame them for this. She would think of another way to enter Xue Yingyue’s courtyard next time.

She decided to return for now.

“Let’s go back to Qiongzhi Courtyard.” She walked towards it.

She was unconcerned about the three people who were lying on the ground. They had passed out and were not dead. Besides, she was not the one who did it. She would pretend she did not see anything.

Just as she was about to leave the “corpses” exposed on the ground, Yan Qin gave an instruction.

“Drag them out.”

Soon, a few servants arrived and dragged them away mercilessly.

They were dragged to the back door rather than Xue Yingyue’s courtyard. Since the three of them dared to do something to An Jiuyue, they could not stay in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence anymore. They would be dealt with immediately after they were dragged out.

This did not concern An Jiuyue. She returned to Qiongzhi Courtyard quickly and watched the two little ones busy making lotus lanterns for her.

…

Clang!

A perfectly good teacup was smashed into pieces on the ground.

With a dark expression, Xue Yingyue listened to the news reported by her maid, Ling Er. She cursed Qian Jiyun a thousand times in her heart.

As a mother, I want to see what kind of wife my son has found. What’s wrong with that? He actually chased my people out of the residence to deal with them?

It was a public slap in her face, but she could not do anything to Qian Jiyun.

After all, he was Qian Jiyun, Prince Zhan Yun. Moreover, he was not her biological son. She was only his stepmother.

Xue Yingyue wanted to kill everyone surnamed Qian every time she remembered that she was only a second wife!

Hence, she had the urge to kill Qian Jiyun whenever she saw him.

However, she did not have much ability and could not touch Qian Jiyun. Moreover, she had no choice. If she wanted to kill Qian Jiyun, she had to find out if the people supporting her agreed.

She sighed heavily and calmed herself down.

“If we can’t make her come here this time, there’ll be a next time and the next time after that. Let’s see how many times Qian Jiyun can protect that woman!” she said fiercely.
