Chapter 406 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 24
As Yun Qing watched Jiang Yunyan being slapped, she calmly asked, "Tell me, what was your maidservant up to, acting so suspiciously?"
Although she asked, she didn't give Jiang Yunyan a chance to speak, and didn't stop the person slapping her, clearly not caring that much.
Now she has a team of bodyguards on duty around her all the time, so naturally someone will be watching Biyue. If she doesn't do anything too outrageous, that's fine, but if she dares to do anything, the bodyguards will take her down immediately.
When Helian Yin and Marquis Ning'an arrived, they saw Yun Qing standing in the center of the room, arrogantly glaring at Jiang Yunyan and saying, "If you keep staring at this princess, believe me, I'll gouge out your eyes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Jiang Yunyan stopped looking at her and instead looked towards the door, her eyes lighting up.
Yun Qing turned her head to look, and her arrogant demeanor vanished instantly.
She ran over with small, quick steps, grabbed Helian Yin's sleeve and shook it, complaining in a spoiled, coquettish voice, "Your Highness, you've finally come! I've been bullied to death!"
Helian Yin was in a good mood. He didn't expect that Yun Qing, who had been drowsy since the wedding, would still notice his recent dietary preferences.
He restrained himself from pulling her into his arms and kissing her, but he couldn't help but hold her hand and squeeze it. "Call me husband."
Yun Qing discovered that he really loved hearing her call him "husband".
She lowered her eyes shyly and said coquettishly, "Husband~ My sister is really too rude. No matter what, I am now the Regent's Consort, and she actually..."
Before she could finish speaking, Biyue suddenly knelt down in front of Helian Yin with a thud, kowtowed several times, and cried, "Regent, please, do justice for my young lady!"
"Miss is resting in bed and hasn't bothered anyone. She's weak now, and the Princess is tormenting her like this. She clearly wants to kill her!"
Seeing her young mistress beaten and covered in blood again, Biyue felt both heartache and anger. The second young lady actually tried to distort the truth and make false accusations. It was simply too much!
The young lady had treated her with the greatest kindness, and she would risk her life to seek justice for her!
Yun Qing looked at Helian Yin with a wronged expression, saying, "Husband, it's not like that at all. I can explain..."
Helian Yin took her hand and tucked it into his sleeve, gently rubbing her palm with his thumb and forefinger. The intimate gesture almost made Yun Qing lose control of her composure.
He acted as if nothing had happened, saying in a flat tone, "There's nothing to explain."
Yun Qing: ...You're such a good actor!
No! She can't lose!
She gently pulled her hand away from Helian Yin's, her fingertips secretly caressing his wrist, slowly moving upwards.
Jiang Yunyan was slapped in the face and was feeling dizzy, but she kept her eyes fixed on Helian Yin.
Hearing his words, she felt a bittersweet joy.
In her previous life, she was always cherished by him and knew what it meant for him to truly care about someone.
If he truly cared about Jiang Yunqing, he wouldn't speak to her in such a cold tone, nor would he be so indifferent and unwilling to listen when Jiang Yunqing felt wronged and wanted to explain, even if her grievances were feigned.
So, he married Jiang Yunqing just to spite her, right?
Even if he harbored resentment and hatred towards her, he still couldn't help but care about her, right? So when he heard Biyue say that Jiang Yunqing wanted her dead, he could no longer continue to pretend to be a loving couple with Jiang Yunqing.
Jiang Yunyan felt a mix of bitterness and sweetness in her heart. Thinking of the many hardships she had endured since her rebirth, her eyes reddened, and she looked at him with a wronged expression.
Helian Yin didn't even glance in her direction.
He suddenly opened his folding fan with a "whoosh," using it as cover to catch Yun Qing's mischievous hand, and then squeezed her fingers to signal her to behave.
He then continued, "You dare to hit me, but you can't hit her? What, is she more precious than me?"
Upon hearing this, Biyue was filled with grief and indignation. Her young lady was thinking of the Regent, but the Regent showed no regard for their past relationship and indulged the Second Young Lady so much. What was she going to do?
Jiang Yunyan was still immersed in her own emotions and hadn't come to her senses for a moment.
Marquis Ning'an was startled and couldn't help but say, "Yun Qing, how dare you hit the Regent!"
They have absolutely no sense of propriety!
Even if the Regent dotes on her now and doesn't mind, if this gets out, some people might use it to criticize him, saying he has failed to raise his daughter properly.
Yun Qing was secretly pinching Helian Yin's hand. Was he trying to scare her mother to death by talking nonsense like that? Luckily, her mother wasn't here.
Upon hearing Ning'an Marquis's words, she was about to offer a perfunctory reply when Helian Yin spoke up with displeasure, "Does the Marquis have to interfere with marital intimacy?"
Marquis of Ning'an: !!!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
You didn't say it was this way of hitting!
Jiang Yunyan finally came to her senses. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. He was really so heartless!
How much must he hate her to be so indifferent to her life or death?
Ignoring the pain on her face, which was far worse than the pain in her heart, Jiang Yunyan looked at Helian Yin through tears and cried out in a hoarse voice, "Helian Yin, I love you..."
Because his mouth was sore, his speech was not very clear, and his tone was so shrill that it sounded like a demon was coming to claim his life.
Helian Yin's first reaction was to cover Yun Qing's ears.
Then the two looked at each other.
Yun Qing scrutinized him suspiciously. Why was he covering her ears? Was he feeling guilty?
Helian Yin scrutinized her carefully. "You're so timid, were you scared?"
Qi Shi hesitated for a moment, then stepped in front of the two men and drew his sword with a "whoosh".
Lady Ning'an arrived upon receiving the news, only to overhear Jiang Yunyan's shameless words. She was so angry that she wanted to tear Jiang Yunyan apart, but Qi Shi drew his sword and instantly scared her away.
Forget it, I'll tear it up after the regent leaves.
She adjusted her expression, preparing to sow discord between Jiang Yunyan and the Regent and Marquis of Ning'an, and also to thoroughly tarnish Yun Qing's reputation.
Before she could even begin her performance, Helian Yin coldly said, "Cut off her tongue..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, looked at Yun Qing who was covered in the ears and had an innocent, obedient expression, and changed his mind, saying, "Forget it, let's just poison her to make her mute! It's not that bloody."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Yun Qing outside, and then they saw Lady Ning'an, who was standing at the door with a blank expression.
His expression remained unchanged, appearing cold and ruthless, yet his imposing presence was palpable. In reality, however, he tightened his grip on Yun Qing's hand instantly, revealing a tense sense of "I will not move unless the enemy moves."
What should I do? Is my mother-in-law scared of him? Will she not let Qingqing go home with him?
Yun Qing blinked, glanced at him, squeezed his hand reassuringly, then rushed over and hugged Lady Ning'an, crying, "Mother, Jiang Yunyan is shameless! She wants to steal my husband..."
"She even yelled at me! You have no idea how terrifying the way she looked at me was before, like she wanted to kill me. Did she want to kill me and take my place?"
Lady Ning'an, regaining her senses, exclaimed, "Yes! Use eye-poisoning!"
She wiped away her tears, looking heartbroken, angry, and helpless. She could only sob weakly and helplessly, "My poor daughter, how innocent you are! It was Jiang Yunyan who was bewitched and rebellious, wanting to break off her engagement with the Regent. How come she hates you now?"
"As her mother, I don't think I've done anything wrong to her. How could she treat you like this!"
"What is her true intention behind this constant back and forth?"
“You are now the Regent’s wife. How can she treat you with such disregard? What about the Regent himself…”
Lady Ning'an paused abruptly, realizing she had said too much and her intentions were too obvious, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
She was able to manipulate Ning'an Marquis with ease because she had already figured out his temperament.
But the regent is not so easily fooled. Such blatant provocation could easily backfire!
Just as she was feeling uneasy, Helian Yin glanced at Marquis Ning'an and sneered, "Your Highness has truly raised a fine daughter!"
"Disrespectful to her mother, unloving to her own sister, contemptuous of the royal family, and disrespectful to His Majesty..."
Marquis Ning'an's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud. "This humble official has failed to properly educate his daughter. Please forgive me, Regent."
Lady Ning'an: ...How come the Regent is easier to fool than the Marquis?
From this perspective, it shouldn't be too difficult for Yun Qing to maintain her position in the Regent's Palace and live a peaceful life.
