Peach Blossom felt a chill run down her spine as the woman's gaze swept over her, a bone-deep coldness surging from her feet to the top of her head.
After all, the woman before her, though dressed in luxurious attire, exuded an aura as deadly as a beautiful serpent, filled with malice.
Even a mere glance was enough to terrify Peach Blossom, who immediately disregarded the blood staining her head and fell to the ground, repeatedly bowing and begging for mercy.
"Fourth Princess, this is not my fault! It was that woman named Xin'er who harmed Third Prince! Please spare me, Fourth Princess!"
As Peach Blossom continued to knock her head against the floor, she left behind a trail of blood on the once pristine surface.
Seeing this, Aotian Xue's eyes flickered with disgust.
She then coldly snorted.
"That woman deserves to die, but you must die too!"
As she spoke, Aotian Xue narrowed her beautiful eyes, a murderous intent rising within them.
With her words hanging in the air, the hall fell into an eerie silence.
Perhaps no one expected the Fourth Princess to be so ruthless, capable of taking a life so easily.
Peach Blossom herself was stunned into silence.
After hearing Aotian Xue's words, she was momentarily frozen and forgot to plead for mercy.
She simply raised a pair of incredulous eyes and stared directly at the glamorous woman before her.
Aotian Xue, seeing this, was filled with even more disgust.
With an impatient expression, she shouted to the side, "Little Dezi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and drag this damned servant out! Execute her!"
As she uttered the last sentence, Aotian Xue's tone was casual, as if she were merely discussing the weather.
Yet, with just that light remark, she easily took a life.
In the palace, the lives of palace maids were as cheap as ants...
Upon hearing Aotian Xue's words, Little Dezi felt a shock in her heart but immediately complied and went to pull Peach Blossom away.
Peach Blossom, being restrained by Little Dezi, finally came to her senses and quickly began to plead in fear.
"Fourth Princess, please spare me! The matter regarding the Third Prince has nothing to do with me; it truly has nothing to do with me..."
Hearing Peach Blossom's pleas for mercy, Aotian Xue showed a face full of impatience.
Then, as if recalling something, she stepped forward gracefully and leisurely stood in front of Peach Blossom.
She bent down and extended her long, delicate fingers to gently pinch Peach Blossom's chin. Her eyes, adorned with sharp eyeliner yet filled with malice and disdain, scrutinized Peach Blossom's face as if assessing something.
She opened her mouth to speak.
"I, the princess, know that the matter of the Third Prince has nothing to do with you. Do you know why I want you dead!?"
Hearing Aotian Xue's words, Peach Blossom could only shake her head gently.
Aotian Xue, seeing this, seemed to have anticipated it all along. A smirk curled on Red Lips as she revealed a disdainful smile.
Then Red Lips parted again, softly saying, "Because your face disgusts me!"
At this point, Aotian Xue's gaze toward Peach Blossom was filled with anger and resentment. After all, every time she saw that face, it reminded her of the shameless woman who had stolen away the person she loved.
"Take her away!"
"Yes!"
Little Dezi accepted the order. Regardless of Peach Blossom's pleas and struggles, she was forcibly dragged away.
And thus, a life was lost, quietly and without a trace, as worthless as grass...
It wasn't until the desperate cries for mercy gradually faded away that Aotian Xue felt a sense of relief wash over her.
Although this woman was not that "Shameless Woman," she bore a striking resemblance to her. Therefore, she had to die!
Moreover, she would not let that "Shameless Woman" off the hook either!
"Xin'er, just wait! You think you can marry him? With your lowly status, who do you think you are?!"
...
With the wedding date set, the entire Cold Manor was buzzing with excitement.
Since Leng Yixuan was the richest man in the world and was about to marry his beloved woman, he naturally wanted to ensure that Xin'er was not slighted.
Thus, he planned to make this wedding as grand as possible.
He wished he could invite everyone in the world to let them know he was about to marry his beautiful bride.
Once the auspicious date was chosen, Xin'er and Leng Yixuan returned to the residence and were busy every day.
Leng Yixuan had always been busy, wishing there were twice as many hours in a day.
At this moment, in addition to his work, he also took time to organize the wedding.
Naturally, the princesses were also helping Leng Yixuan with the preparations.
Every day, Xin'er had maids helping her try on dresses and discussing matters of etiquette and decorum.
Every day, Leng Yixuan would send Xin'er countless gifts of silk and satin, along with gold and silver jewelry for her to choose from.
As a result, Xin'er was very busy each day.
However, she was busy in a way that brought her immense happiness and fulfillment.
After all, she would soon be getting married.
How could she not be happy to marry the man she loved!?
Most importantly, she would soon be able to see her younger brother.
Previously, her brother had been injured and sent to a strange doctor for treatment.
Later, the strange doctor wrote to say that her brother was a medical genius. Not only did he have a great interest in medicine, but he also memorized the medicinal herbs at first glance and understood everything after just one explanation.
Because of this, the strange doctor took a liking to him and made an exception to accept her Younger Brother Xiaobao as his apprentice.
Naturally, Xin'er was overjoyed by this news.
After all, although the strange doctor had a peculiar temperament, his medical skills were outstanding. Now that he had taken Xiaobao as his apprentice, her brother would become a doctor with a valuable skill. How could she not be happy about such a promising future!?
Moreover, the letter mentioned that on the day of her wedding to Xuan, the strange doctor would bring her brother to attend their ceremony.
Just thinking about seeing her adorable brother soon made Xin'er wish that her wedding with Xuan would arrive even faster.
Thinking of this, Xin'er felt both anticipation and excitement in her heart.
However, at that moment, a teasing voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Madam, what are you thinking about again? You look so happy! Are you thinking about the Master again? Really, the Master just left this morning, and here you are already missing him. One day apart feels like three years!"
Hearing this playful remark, Xin'er, who had been lost in joy, immediately snapped back to reality. With a charming glare from her beautiful eyes, she playfully shot a look at Xiao Huan beside her.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, I'm not talking nonsense at all. It's clear that you're thinking about the Master. Hehe, let's hurry back to the residence! We've been shopping all day, and now it's getting late. I wonder if the Master has returned. If he comes back and doesn't see you, he will surely be anxious."
Xiao Huan said with a grin, her gaze toward Xin'er filled with amusement.
Seeing this, Xin'er felt both shy and amused.
Looking at the items Xiao Huan was carrying and then glancing up at the already darkening sky, she realized that she and Xiao Huan had actually been out all day.
Although Xuan would send her plenty of silk and satin, gold and jewels every day, seeing such extravagant jewelry made her feel pained.
Even though Xuan had a lot of money, it wasn't right to spend it so lavishly!
So she pleaded with Xuan not to send her any more gifts and suggested that she would go buy things herself on the street.
Xuan listened and agreed.
It was said to be their own wedding, and the most important thing was that she was happy.
So, Xin'er took Xiao Huan with her, and the two spent the entire day wandering the streets.
However, Xuan's business spread across the country and even abroad.
In the capital city, out of ten shops, nine belonged to Xuan.
Previously, Xin'er had no idea about this when she stayed indoors, but now, every time she entered a shop, the boss would immediately come out to greet her with utmost respect.
Moreover, they all respectfully addressed her as "Madam."
She was overwhelmed by such treatment. After all, in the past, she had done all kinds of hard labor just to fill their stomachs along with her brother.
She had always lived at the bottom of society.
Now, she had transformed into someone of high status.
This change made Xin'er feel very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Xiao Huan looked on with envy and happily said, "They say the master dotes on his wife the most. Even before you are married, he is afraid that others might not recognize you and neglect you. That's why he had your portrait painted early on for everyone under his command to know."
Hearing Xiao Huan's words, Xin'er suddenly realized.
No wonder she thought it was strange that all the bosses of these shops suddenly recognized her; it turned out to be the case.
So, from then on, every time Xin'er went into a shop to buy something, she didn't have to spend any money. After all, these were all stores under Xuan's name.
After shopping all day, Xin'er's bag was still full.
At that moment, Xin'er deeply understood what kind of man she had married.
This man was incredibly wealthy!
And this man would be her husband from now on...
Thinking of this, Xin'er felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Moreover, she began to miss Xuan.
She thought about how busy he was with work every day and how he was now also occupied with their wedding preparations; he must be exhausted!
She wondered if he had returned home yet.
If not, she wanted to cook some home-cooked meals for him to try tonight.
With that thought in mind, Xin'er couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Beside them, Xiao Huan couldn't help but tease again.
"Just now, you said you weren't thinking about the master, but now you're walking away so quickly. Women really are full of contradictions!"
"Uh, Xiao Huan, you're a woman too, you know!?"
Xin'er found Xiao Huan's words both amusing and exasperating.
Hearing this, Xiao Huan chuckled.
"I never said I wasn't contradictory! After all, it's a common trait among women!"
Seeing Xiao Huan's self-awareness made Xin'er burst into laughter.
Before Xin'er could say anything more, suddenly, from the bushes ahead of them, an unusual sound emerged...
It was as if someone was softly chanting...
