Chapter 4036: Guilty Conscience
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Princess Yan Ling saw a piece of black cloth hanging on a branch. It was obvious from the man’s clothes.
She picked it up and sniffed it.
Other people wouldn’t be able to smell it, but Princess Yan Ling had a very sharp nose!
Just like what Mr. Sakiya said, she had a sharper nose than anyone else.
“It was him!” Princess Yan Ling’s pupils contracted, and she was furious!
Lord Jing’s guards had kidnapped her!
While Grandpa Ma was away on some errand?!
The more Princess Yan Ling thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Who was Princess Yan Ling? She was the fiend that would kill the second prince, Night Light, and all his servants in a fit of rage. Of course, she wouldn’t let anyone lie to her, set her up, or use her!
“To the Jing Manor!”
Princess Yan Ling jumped onto her horse first and headed for the Jing Manor.
As Princess Yan Ling’s favorite minion at the moment, Feng Wu had to follow her everywhere. Hence, she jumped onto her horse and went along to watch the show as well.
As the horses galloped along, Princess Yan Ling’s train of thought became clearer and clearer.
It had to be Lord Jing!
She had only threatened him, but he had done such a thing to her! Not only had he humiliated her, but he had also used her to destroy Night Light!
Night Light was Night Owl’s archenemy.
Lord Jing!
The more Princess Yan Ling thought about it, the angrier she became. She cracked her whip!
Soon, Princess Yan Ling arrived at Lord Jing’s residence with a group of people.
She didn’t stop at the door. Instead, she ran straight into the manor.
The concierge had met Princess Yan Ling before and recognized her right away.
He shot warning glances at the others, telling them to report to the lord as soon as possible. He then said to Princess Yan Ling, “Princess, the horses can’t gallop into the manor. Please get off!”
However, Princess Yan Ling was too angry to care about anything else. She raised her whip.
Poor man. He only said one sentence before he was whipped up and sent flying into the air!
Other people would be injured at most.
They were right outside the main gate, and the crowd was so dense that everyone would notice it.
The people on the street were shocked, and the news soon spread out.
Princess Yan Ling used to be so arrogant that she didn’t care about the consequences at all. She rushed into the manor.
She would run into anyone she met.
If anyone tried to stop her, she would whip them.
All hell broke loose in the Jing Manor, and people kept calling for help. Lady Jing and her son received the news as well and were on their way.
As for Lord Jing…
He wasn’t home.
To be more precise, Lord Jing had arrived at Night Owl’s residence through the secret passageway and was drinking with Night Owl.
Lord Jing said, “Princess Yan Ling is such a fool. She actually helped us kill your brother.”
Night Owl gloated as well. “That’s right. She was quite rough.”
Lord Jing added, “Now that we have something on her, we don’t have to worry about her.”
Night Owl said, “But she knows our secret. After all, it’s a threat. Who knows when she’ll lose her mind? If she tells other people about it, we’ll…”
Lord Jing said confidently, “She has killed the second prince. What else can she do? Don’t worry. She won’t.”
They were still talking excitedly about the second prince’s death when Gong Ming, Night Owl’s personal guard, came in. “Your Royal Highness, something’s wrong.”
Night Owl frowned. “What is it?”
Gong Ming said, “Princess Yan Ling has broken into the Jing Manor like a crazy person and is killing innocent people!” WHAT?!
Lord Jing dropped his wine glass.
He had just said that Princess Yan Ling wouldn’t lose her mind, but… “Why is she out of control again?!” Lord Jing’s face was livid.
“Let’s go have a look!” Night Owl urged Lord Jing.
Lord Jing told Night Owl, “Go ask His Majesty for help. That crazy woman has Ma Quanquan with her. We’ll be at a disadvantage if we fight her! Go get Master Min !
“Yes!”
Night Owl jumped onto his horse and rode toward the imperial palace.
Meanwhile…
Lord Jing went into the secret tunnel and soon returned to the Jing Manor. Someone was banging on the door when he walked into the study.
“My lord! My lord!”
It was Jing Jia, his guard.
Lord Jing opened the door as if he had just finished cultivating.
Jing Jia said anxiously, “My lord, Princess Yan Ling has lost her mind. She’s been asking for you, but you haven’t shown up, so she said that she would kill a person every three minutes, starting from Lady Jing and the young prince…”
Lord Jing blanched.
“Where is she?!”
Jing Jia immediately took Lord Jing there.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Princess Yan Ling holding a dagger and gesturing at the young prince’s neck.
The younger prince rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Princess Yan Ling sneered at the chubby little boy. “After you die, even if you turn into a ghost, you can’t blame me. Your father is to be blamed!”
His voice was hoarse from all the crying, and he couldn’t make a sound. All he could do was tremble, and his eyes were filled with fear.
“Die!”
Princess Yan Ling was about to stab the young prince in the throat. “No!” Lady Jing tried to rush over, but Princess Yan Ling kicked her away.
“Stop!”
Entering the room, Lord Jing glared at Princess Yan Ling and bellowed, “What’s wrong with you?! Stop it!”
It was a mess.
Members of the Jin Manor were scattered all over the ground.
Many of them were barely breathing and were almost dead.
Seeing this, Lord Jing wanted to cut Princess Yan Ling into a thousand pieces.
Princess Yan Ling turned around and smirked when she saw Lord Jing. “Why, I thought you wouldn’t come out. I didn’t expect to see you here.” After that, she threw the scared prince on the ground.
Ignoring the pain, the boy hid behind his father.
He stared at Princess Yan Ling with a venomous look in his eyes.
Princess Yan Ling couldn’t care less what the brat thought. She only stared at
Lord Jin and said, “Since the master is here, you people can leave now.”
After throwing the Jing Manor into chaos, Princess Yan Ling had calmed down a little.
However, once she calmed down, she would be the most difficult to handle. Lord Jing didn’t want his secret to get out, so he waved at them. “You guys can leave now.”
Lady Jing couldn’t wait to see that happen, so she led the young prince and his servants out of the room.
Feng Wu didn’t dare linger in such a dangerous place, so she followed the crowd out.
Soon, Princess Yan Ling and Lord Jin were the only ones left in the main hall.
Lord Jing stared at Princess Yan Ling and asked coldly, “Princess Yan Ling, what’s this about?”
Princess Yanling sneered at him. “What’s it about? Can’t you tell?!”
Lord Jing said angrily, “I saw Princess Yan Ling charge into the manor and beat up many people. As for why… I have no idea. I’ll need an explanation from you, Princess Yan Ling, or I’m afraid it won’t be settled.”
“Hahahaha!”
Princess Yan Ling guffawed. “It won’t be settled? Hahaha! I’m sorry, but do you think I’m going to let you do whatever you want?!”
“Princess, what did you say?” Lord Jing stared at her. “How many people have you killed?!”
Princess Yan Ling smirked. “Tell me, then. Why did I kill them?” Lord Jing gritted his teeth.. “Princess, why did you want to kill them?!”
