Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 63 - So What If I Hit You

Zhan Qingqing snorted coldly and strode forward, grabbing Liu Xi’s hair with a swift move!

“Ah!” Liu Xi cried out in pain as Zhan Qingqing took the clothes from her hand and stomped on them on the ground.

Ignoring the pain, Liu Xi tried to pick up Zhan Lan’s clothes, but as soon as she touched a corner of the garment, Zhan Qingqing stomped on Liu Xi’s hand.

“You ungrateful wretch, to think I used to trust you so much. And to imagine, you’re serving that cheap floozy Zhan Lan now!” Zhan Qingqing glared, pressing down hard on Liu Xi’s hand with her foot.

Just now, it struck her that Liu Xi must have betrayed her!

Otherwise, how could Zhan Lan have Liu Xi serve as her maid!

“Stop!” Zhan Lan pushed open the door and quick-stepped forward, shoving Zhan Qingqing away.

Her strength was great, causing Zhan Qingqing to fall to the ground.

“Ah! You, you whore…” Zhan Qingqing hadn’t finished speaking when Zhan Lan grabbed her hair and swung her against the wall.

Thud!

Zhan Qingqing’s forehead began to bleed.

Under the lantern’s light, Zhan Qingqing stared stupidly at the blood flowing down, shaking all over in fright.

“You hit me!” Zhan Qingqing’s voice was noticeably not as high as it had been!

Zhan Lan walked over and slapped Zhan Qingqing across the face.

“Hit you, so what!” Zhan Qingqing’s face twisted from the blow.

She yelled furiously, “Zhan Lan, have you gone mad!”

Zhan Lan, with a bloodthirsty smile, “Yes, if you provoke me again, I guarantee I’ll beat you to death next time!”

Her eyes were fierce, and Zhan Qingqing shuddered all over in terror.

But still not resigned after being reprimanded by Zhan Lan, she now had her brother Zhan Peng and the Zhu Family to rely on, afraid of what Zhan Lan would do! “You low…”

The word had barely left her mouth when Zhan Lan kicked out, sending Zhan Qingqing flying three yards away.

“Ah!” Zhan Qingqing clutched her stomach in agony, curled up like a maggot on the ground, not daring to insult Zhan Lan any further.

Xiao Tao peeked out from the window of the Li family’s house, excitedly watching the drama unfold outside, dancing with joy.

So satisfying!

That horrible woman Zhan Qingqing deserved to be beaten like that!

Zhan Qingqing struggled to her feet, staggering away in retreat.

Where was her brother, Zhan Peng, why hadn’t he returned?

Or, should she wait for Zhan Peng to come back and avenge her!

Zhan Lan looked back at Liu Xi, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, thank you for your concern, miss!”

Liu Xi pulled back her hand that had been trampled red, instead expressing worry, “Miss, Zhan Qingqing was beaten today, what if Young Master Zhan Peng comes to the back yard to cause trouble again?”

Zhan Lan’s eyes darkened before she whispered softly, “He will never be able to return!”

Liu Xi instantly understood the implication in Zhan Lan’s words; it seemed Zhan Peng had encountered trouble.

She was secretly delighted in her heart, how wonderful, they would no longer be bullied by the Zhan Peng siblings!

Zhan Lan gazed at the bright moon above, thinking of the Crown Princess’s methods in dealing with palace maids; Zhan Peng must have suffered quite a bit in the palace.

However, since Zhan Peng had bullied the Crown Princess, the Zhan Family would certainly face Emperor Xuanwu’s criticism!

This was the outcome she had been anticipating.

For now, they must seize the opportunity to make her father and grandfather see Emperor Xuanwu clearly.

It was best to expose all issues as early as possible!

Then, neither her father nor grandfather would be caught off guard when Emperor Xuanwu and his son decided to strike a deadly blow to annihilate the Zhan Family in the future.

Indeed, the very next morning, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly burst into a thunderous rage during the early court session.

Of course, to preserve the Crown Princess’s reputation, the event’s main character shifted from the Crown Princess to one of Emperor Xuanwu’s less favored concubines.

It was said that Zhan Peng had made advances on the concubine, that Zhan Beicang had failed to teach his son properly, not only retracting Zhan Beicang’s last military merits but also revoking his military authority.

The entire court was shocked by Emperor Xuanwu’s decision.

Even Zhan Beicang himself was quite astonished.

But in his heart, he also understood that Emperor Xuanwu’s thunderous anger stemmed from Crown Princess Si Yao being dishonored.

Zhan Beicang stood straight in the Golden Throne Hall, pondering in his heart: the incident was indeed triggered by Zhan Peng; it was not a pity to kill Zhan Peng for dishonoring the Crown Princess.

But why did it lead to the retraction of his military authority?

There seemed to be no direct connection between the two matters.

Even someone as upright and loyal as Zhan Beicang found it strange.

What on earth was Emperor Xuanwu thinking?

Zhan Beicang received the imperial edict without a word, feeling stifled in his heart.

After returning to the General Mansion, he relayed the emperor’s decree to Zhan Xinzhang.

Zhan Xinzhang, who had been playing with crickets, stopped his movements and furrowed his brows.

Pacing back and forth inside the room, he thoroughly contemplated and tasted the flavor of the situation.

The Zhan Family was probably feared for their rising prominence, arousing Emperor Xuanwu’s wariness.

Thus, this was an opportunity seized to suppress the Zhan Family under the guise of Zhan Peng’s actions.

Zhan Xinzhang lowered his eyes and said, “Beicang, with no war at the borders recently, you should take this time to rest well at home, and spend time with your wife and children. We can discuss future matters later.”

Zhan Beicang, seeing the old master’s composed and serene expression, felt somewhat relieved.

Suddenly, he recalled Zhan Hui’s words; they owed a lot to Zhan Lan’s reminder regarding this affair, otherwise, Zhan Hui would have been in a dire situation.

Compared to military authority, he was more concerned about Zhan Hui’s safety.

He smiled and said, “Father is right, I have been busy lately, and now that I have the time, I’ll go see Zhan Lan and Lady Li!”

Zhan Xinzhang gave a slight smile, “That girl Zhan Lan, I see her as a good seedling!”

Zhan Beicang nodded and left Zhan Xinzhang’s room.

Zhan Lan had just returned from training in the old house, dressed in her training attire.

She was wondering why it was so quiet in the General Mansion today.

Zhan Lan looked up at the sky, the sunlight blinding, as warmth spread over her.

At this hour, her father should have returned, right?

It had been a while since she last saw Zhan Beicang.

Suddenly, a fierce gust of punch wind attacked her from behind.

Zhan Lan bent over, turned around, and kicked out, while the attacker reacted swiftly, retreating two steps backward to stand firm!
