Chapter 77: Sudden Change

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Du Yuanyi knew very well that the main purpose of his trip was to clean up Du Yuanruo’s mess. Otherwise, his bastard brother would die under the Third Prince’s knife.

Even if the Third Prince was on good terms with his scumbag brother, that was only possible if they didn’t threaten or harm the Third Prince’s interests!

Moreover, the crown prince was still in power.

Now was the critical time for the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince to compete for that position. If he really lost in front of Pei Qian, the consequences would be disastrous.

The Third Prince wouldn’t let his useless brother off the hook!

!!

So, here he was.

Yes, his brother was a good-for-nothing! But he never expected him to be useless to this extent!

A northern barbarian had actually infiltrated a small refugee camp!

If this continued, the consequences would be terrifying!

If his stupid brother had mentioned it in the letter he sent back to the capital, he wouldn’t have only found out after he arrived and the current situation wouldn’t have caught him off guard so much.

He screwed himself over by coming here!

Du Yuanyi, who was already flustered, subconsciously wanted to smooth things over.

As long as this matter didn’t involve northern barbarian spies, things could still be controlled! But if this matter really developed further, the consequences…

It was already too late for him to salvage the situation now. Pei Qian had already gained the upper hand!

If Pei Qian took the opportunity to hit him when he was down, the outcome might be the end of their Duke’s Estate!

“Prince Du, what are you afraid of?!” Pei Qian could naturally guess what Du Yuanyi was thinking.

He looked disdainfully at Du Yuanyi, who was still thinking about protecting himself when the truth was already clear. He snorted and said, “You don’t have to worry that I’ll hit you when you’re down!

If you’re really worried, you can leave immediately!

I’ve previously reminded you to leave behind some rations and quickly bring your brother back to the capital. This way, you can reunite with your family before the new year!

But you were unwilling and insisted on staying!

Do you regret it now?!”

After mocking Du Yuanyi, Pei Qian turned around. He immediately changed his attitude as he said to Lu Ze and Lin Suisui in a very gentle tone, “It’s been hard on you today, Madam Liu. There’s nothing else for you to do here. You guys can go back and rest!”

Lin Suisui bowed slightly to Pei Qian and left with Lu Ze.

Before they could walk far, they saw Du Wangshi running towards them with red eyes. “Madam Liu, Madam Liu, go over and take a look. Ling’er… her condition worsened!”

Seeing how flustered Du Wangshi was, Lin Suisui knew that she wouldn’t be able to get any useful information from her. She only nodded at her and rushed towards the Du family’s tent.

Lin Suisui saw that outside the Du family’s tent, there were already many onlookers. Du Wangshi was extremely anxious. As she cried, she rushed forward and pushed her way through the crowd, who was tiptoeing and craning their necks. The crowd moved aside and let Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, who followed behind, enter.

While she was still outside the crowd, Lin Suisui could already hear the sound of people telling her to put down the knife and calm down. There was also the sound of a woman screaming hysterically…

When she passed through the crowd, she saw that Du Juan’er, who had been crying for help, was being strangled by the disheveled Du Ling’er, whose other hand was holding a short knife. Her hand that was holding the knife was trembling, and she had already lacerated Du Juan’er’s neck.

Not far from their feet, Du Miao’er was lying there unconscious with a pale face.

From the shattered utensils on the ground, it was obvious what had just happened.

The person who was trying her best to persuade Du Ling’er to put down the knife was their aunt, Madam Du Luo.

However, it was obvious that Du Luo was also frightened by the scene in front of her. Not only did she fail to make Du Ling’er put down the knife in her hand, but she also lost control of her emotions.

“Ling’er, don’t mess around!”

Although Du Wangshi usually scolded Du Miao’er and her sister, she knew her limits.

A life for a life. This was an iron law that had never changed since ancient times!

She stopped Du Ling’er now not because she cared about Du Miao’er and her sister, but because she didn’t want her daughter to get the death penalty!

“If you have any grievances or woes, just tell me. I’ll help you, okay?! Don’t take it too hard!

Think about it. If anything happens to you, what will I do?!

“Ling’er, listen to me. Put down the knife first. Let’s talk it out, okay?!”

Du Wangshi was sweating from anxiety, but she didn’t wipe her sweat. She carefully took a few steps closer, but she had to quickly stop and retreat because of Du Ling’er’s scream.

However, her eyes never left Du Ling’er.

“Say it?! What’s there to say? Even if I say it, can you help me?!

These two bitches have ruined my reputation!

They ruined my life!”

Tears streamed down Du Ling’er’s face. As she spoke, she used the blade to slash Du Juan’er’s neck twice. Although the slashes were not deep, they were enough to make Du Juan’er scream in pain.

However, Du Ling’er ignored them at this moment. Instead, she looked at Du Wangshi and complained tearfully, “I told them that day that I was going to look for Song Yue, but they framed me!

If Song Yue hadn’t come over to tell me today, I would have been kept in the dark!

They slandered me and ruined my reputation! They even said that I’d gone crazy. It’s all their fault. They’re two bitches. Mother, you don’t know. They, they…”

Just as Du Ling’er was about to say something else as she looked at Du Miao’er, who was lying on the ground, a flying knife suddenly shot through the tent from behind and pierced her neck…

All of this happened too quickly and suddenly. Du Juan’er, who had been strangled by Du Ling’er and thought that she was doomed, was instantly sprayed with blood. Although she was temporarily saved, she was so frightened that she screamed.

Lu Ze moved very quickly. When Du Ling’er was pierced by the flying dagger, he had already rushed forward, but he was still too late.
