“You… you all…”

Xue Ling could speak now as the rag stuffed inside her mouth had been removed.

She grew afraid as she watched the deputy generals surround her. She had killed two soldiers to escape. They would definitely settle this score with her.

“What about us? Xue Ling, what have you done?!”

They looked like they wanted to kill Xue Ling, and their knuckles cracked as they clenched their fists.

“I… I didn’t… I didn’t do anything, Brother Yun. I didn’t do anything! They want to frame me! Don’t believe them! They just can’t stand seeing you treat me well!”

As the saying goes, strike first and gain the upper hand. Since Xue Ling was yet to be freed, she could only pretend to be pitiful and win Qian Jiyun’s pity.

Unfortunately, she targeted the wrong person. It might be effective in front of someone else, but this was Qian Jiyun!

Qian Jiyun did not care about her at all. He only wanted to find out who was providing Xue Ling backing and if there were others besides that one from his residence.

How could he speak up for Xue Ling now that he had An Jiuyue with him?

Qian Jiyun looked at the deputy generals who wanted to skin Xue Lingsheng alive.

“What happened?”

There was forbearance in their eyes as they took a deep breath before turning to look at Qian Jiyun.

One of the deputy generals explained, “General, this woman is really vicious. Escaping from the camp is one thing, but she even killed the two soldiers guarding her in order to escape!”

“What?!” Shocked, Yan Nuo stepped forward.

Xue Ling actually dared to attack and kill two soldiers in the military camp! Seems like she really wants to die!

Fortunately, Master is even more capable and caught her. Otherwise, we won’t be able to do anything to her when she returns to the Prince Zhanyun Residence and hides behind that old woman.

Qian Jiyun’s sharp gaze landed on Xue Ling, emitting a faint murderous aura.

Xue Ling trembled subconsciously when she sensed it. She looked up at Qian Jiyun pitifully and shook her head.

“No, it’s not like that. Brother Yun, believe me, I didn’t mean to kill them! They intended to plot against me! I accidentally killed them. What I said is true, Brother Yun. It’s really true!” she explained.

She could say whatever she wanted since the two soldiers were already dead. No one could refute her.

“Haha…” An Jiuyue could not help but chuckle when she heard the explanation. Two soldiers had ill intentions toward Xue Ling?

“Bullsh*t!” one of the deputy generals with an ill temper cursed.

“I chose those two soldiers personally. I know them very well. They plotted against you? Do you think you’re a deity because the general gives you some attention?

“You’re not even worthy for them to serve you tea! Why would you be worthy of them plotting against you?!”

“You—” Xue Ling opened her mouth, but her anger was stuck in her throat.

She admitted the two soldiers were Deputy General Sun’s trusted aides and had some authority in the military camp.
