Chapter 431 Why Should I Stay?
There was a chilling ruthlessness in Madam Bai's eyes, and the hand that was originally pinching Concubine Qing's chin slowly moved down to her slender neck.
A cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly exerted force with her palm, pinching Concubine Qing's neck like an iron clamp.
"Hmm..." Concubine Qing, whose throat was strangled, froze instantly and let out a low groan involuntarily.
She began to struggle desperately, and her sharp nails scratched the back of Mrs. Bai's fair hand, leaving a red blood mark, but she seemed unaware of it.
Madam Bai kept exerting force with her hands, but Concubine Qing lived a life of luxury in the palace and was so weak that she couldn't even tie a chicken.
Although she struggled with all her might, she was unable to break free from Mrs. Bai's hand that was strangling her neck.
Lan Moqing was extremely anxious when he saw that Concubine Qing had no power to resist.
He was furious and rushed towards Madam Bai without hesitation, shouting, "Let go of my mother!"
Before he could get close to Mrs. Bai, Dong Yi, who had been standing by and watching coldly, suddenly looked gloomy.
He kicked Lan Moqing hard and sent him flying. He fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
He gasped heavily, struggled to crawl to Lan Yuchen's feet, grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly with his hands, and begged:
"Uncle, please save my mother!"
Lan Yuchen glanced at him with a cold expression and walked towards Mrs. Bai.
Lan Moqing was overjoyed and quickly let go of his hand, but he heard Lan Yuchen's voice softly say:
"Wanyin, let me do it, don't dirty your hands!"
Dong Yi looked at Lan Yuchen unkindly and stood in front of him: "My mother will personally avenge my maternal grandfather's family."
Lan Yuchen frowned: "Get out of the way, stop making trouble!"
Dong Yi ignored his words and continued to block his steps without dodging.
Lan Yuchen's grip on the spear loosened and tightened, and he finally sighed and lowered the spear dejectedly: "Ah... I won't hurt you."
At this moment, Concubine Qing's body, which had been twisting violently, had stopped struggling. Her wide-open eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot, and she stared fixedly ahead.
Her slender, white neck also lost its supporting strength and tilted weakly to one side.
Only then did Mrs. Bai feel her tense body become sore and weak, and her finger joints turned slightly white from exerting too much force.
As she stiffly let go, Concubine Qing's body fell limply to the ground.
The once charming face has now become as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
Mrs. Bai rubbed her aching wrist, took a deep breath, and tried to steady her trembling legs.
She slowly turned around and faced Lan Yuchen who was standing not far away, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"Thanks to your Lan family, my hands are already stained with blood."
"I'm sorry..." Lan Yuchen murmured, his voice as low as a mosquito, with a guilty look on his face.
The General's Mansion fought on the battlefield and guarded the border for the Northern Frost Kingdom. They spent their entire lives in military service, ensuring that the people of the Northern Frost Kingdom lived and worked in peace and contentment.
However, the Beishuang Kingdom was wary of the reputation of the General's Mansion and thus abandoned it, which chilled the hearts of a group of loyal ministers and generals.
After personally killing Concubine Qing, Mrs. Bai's long-suppressed anger finally dissipated a little.
Hearing Lan Yuchen's apology, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly bitter smile, shook her head and said:
"What happened back then has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize."
At this moment, Lan Moqing, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have just come to his senses. He struggled to crawl to Concubine Qing's side, hugged her in his arms, and roared:
"Mother... Mother, wake up... Ah..."
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot, glaring fiercely at Madam Bai and Dong Yi, and roared:
"It was you... it was you, a bunch of vicious people, who killed my mother... I want you to pay with your lives!"
"How hilarious! Your mother and your family conspired to bring about the unjust deaths of my entire maternal grandfather's family. From the elderly to the infants, no one escaped this tragic fate. We are called vicious, but what are you? Unforgivable? A multitude of evildoers?"
Bai Bing'er stepped forward to support Mrs. Bai, and scolded her with a cold face.
Recalling the fear of being hunted and the misery of hiding from place to place in constant fear, tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Yuan, who had been silent at the door, was furious. This man actually made Bing'er cry. He deserved to die!
His eyes were as cold as ice and he snapped his fingers. A seemingly faint light instantly penetrated into Lan Moqing's body like lightning.
Lan Moqing was about to open his mouth to refute when he suddenly felt an indescribable pain sweeping through his body, and a hideous look of pain suddenly appeared on his face.
A breath that came from nowhere broke into his body without any warning and began to rage wildly.
"Ah...ah..." Lan Moqing could no longer bear the heart-wrenching pain and let out a series of extremely shrill screams.
He hugged his body tightly with his hands, curled up on the ground and struggled desperately.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change and stepped back to look at him in surprise and confusion.
Not long after, traces of bright red blood began to slowly seep out of Lan Moqing's mouth and nose.
Gradually, his screams became quieter and his struggles became weaker and weaker, until they finally stopped completely.
The entire scene fell into dead silence, with only the undried blood and Lan Moqing's twisted and deformed body lying there quietly.
"We should go back." Xiao Wanwan spoke to break the silence. She glanced at Li Yuan with a smile, then pulled Xiao Sheng and Zi Buyan and slowly walked out.
Li Yuan touched his nose guiltily, avoiding Xiao Wanwan's gaze and coughing lightly to ease his embarrassment: "Ahem...it's time to go back!"
He put his hands behind his back, glanced at Bai Bing'er, and slowly followed Xiao Wanwan.
Yun Mubai, Feng Lizhou, Chu Yanhao and Xiao Wensheng all had smiles in their eyes. They shook their heads, turned around and slowly walked out of the hall.
Bai Bing'er and Dong Yi supported Madam Bai: "Mother, let's go back!"
"Okay, let's go home!" Mrs. Bai walked a few steps forward with the two of them, then paused, looked around, and turned around without hesitation.
Uncle Dong and Aunt Dong smiled at each other and followed the crowd.
"Wanyin...you...aren't you going to stay?"
Lan Yuchen stared at Mrs. Bai's back in a daze, and chased her for a few steps but stopped abruptly.
There was expectation and pleading in his eyes.
Mrs. Bai didn't pause for a second after hearing this, and continued to walk out slowly, with an unprecedented sense of ease and joy in her tone:
"I have no connection with the Northern Frost Kingdom's royal family anymore, so why should I stay?"
Lan Yuchen stretched out his hand, grabbed in the air, and then dropped it weakly.
There was no possibility for him and her at any time. In the past, there was a gap between them, which was ethical and moral. Now, there was an unbridgeable gap between them.
