Chapter 929 Silenced

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Little vixen, do you still want to find that old thing to support you? I will tell you this; nobody can save you today.”

As Zhangsun Lan spoke, she rushed to Zhao Xingyue with a crazed look and reached out to scratch Zhao Xingyue’s face.

However, she was just an ordinary shrew and knew nothing about martial arts. How could she be a match for Zhao Xingyue?

As soon as she stepped forward, she was slapped in the face by Zhao Xingyue. Her fat body flew out like a sandbag and fell to the ground with a plop.

“Madam, are you alright?”

The Zhangsun Family was the overlord of Golden Horse City. Hu Zhiwen didn’t expect that the girl in front of him would dare to hurt Zhangsun Lan. He ran over and helped his mistress up.

Zhao Xingyue’s slap was so hard that Zhangsun Lan lost several teeth.

She got up from the ground, her face covered with blood. She then pointed at Zhao Xingyue with a ferocious face and shouted, “Little vixen, how dare you hit me? I’ll peel off your skin today.”

After that, she turned to Hu Zhiwen and said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tie up these little vixens. See how I’ll deal with them!”

Hu Zhiwen waved his hand at the guards beside him and said, “Are you all fools? Didn’t you hear our Madam’s order? Hurry up and arrest these people.”

After receiving the order from their master, the guards shouted and surrounded Zhao Xingyue and the others.

“Stop! Are you going to rebel?” Zhao Xingyue said coldly, “I’m Princess Xingyue of Tortoise Kingdom. You dare to arrest me? Aren’t you afraid that your nine clans will be exterminated?”

Hearing that the other party was the Princess, these guards were shocked. They quickly stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Zhangsun Lan.

Zhangsun Lan was also shocked. The reason why her family could do whatever they wanted in Golden Horse City was that they relied on the power of Imperial Preceptor Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yueniang. If the other party was really the Princess of Tortoise Kingdom, they absolutely could not afford to provoke her.

Just when she was at a loss, Hu Zhiwen whispered in her ear, “Madam, don’t be frightened by this little girl. How could she be Princess Xingyue?

“The Princess usually brings a large number of guards and palace maids when she goes out. There are no guards and palace maids here at all. Moreover, if the Princess had arrived in Golden Horse City, the General would have made a big fuss already. It would have been impossible for him to keep quiet about it.

“In my opinion, this little girl is using the title of the Princess to scare you!”

“You’re right. I was nearly deceived by that vixen.”

Zhangsun Lan immediately agreed with Hu Zhiwen. Although she had never entered the palace and seen the Princess, she knew about the majesty of the royal family. It was impossible for the Princess to go out without anyone accompanying her, let alone the visit being so quiet.

She could never have imagined that Xiahou Hongxiang had concealed the truth entirely out of consideration for his reputation.

Zhangsun Lan took two steps forward. Then, she shouted at Zhao Xingyue arrogantly, “Little vixen, if you are the Princess, I am the Heavenly Mother of God.”

She then shouted at these guards, “Why are you all standing there like fools? This little vixen is impersonating the Princess. Arrest her for me!”

Since Zhangsun Lan gave the order, these people no longer hesitated. They fiercely rushed over at once.

Zhao Xingyue kicked away the guard who rushed to the front and said to Zhangsun Lan with a cold look, “How dare you attack me? Have you thought about the consequence?”

“The consequence is that I will skin you alive today.” At this time, Zhangsun Lan had already determined that the Princess in front of her was a fake, so she urged her men to take action again.

Seeing that this thing could not be settled peacefully, Qin Haodong and the others no longer hesitated. They pulled out their weapons and fought with the guards.

Although there were many people on Hu Zhiwen’s side, he was the only one who had reached the final stage of the Voiding Realm. The others were a little worse off.

However, there were many masters on Qin Haodong’s side. None of them were weaklings. For a while, they were neck and neck. Neither side could get the upper hand.

Surrounded by her teammates, the Little Witch began to use her summoning skill.

After the Gate of Life slowly opened, six Hellhounds rushed out in succession.

For some reason, she repeatedly summoned Hellhounds recently. This kind of demonic beast was very fierce and powerful. The situation immediately changed after these Hellhounds joined the battle.

Each Hellhound was the equivalent of the Strong at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. In addition, they had no fear of death at all. After being bitten by these Hellhounds, the guards immediately screamed, threw their weapons, and fled in every direction.

“This…”

Zhangsun Lan was completely scared out of her wits. She had thought that it would be a simple affair of catching her husband committing adultery. She didn’t expect that these people would be so powerful that the guards she brought would be defeated like this.

Hu Zhiwen saw that they were no match for their enemies. He immediately rushed over and pulled Zhangsun Lan away, shouting, “Madam, run!”

The Little Witch cried out, “Ugly old lady, thinking of running away? It’s not that easy!”

She immediately commanded the Hellhounds to rush over. These Hellhounds surrounded Hu Zhiwen and Zhangsun Lan.

“Chief guard, hurry up and save me!”

In the face of these vicious Hellhounds, Zhangsun Lan was so scared that she trembled violently.

At this time, Hu Zhiwen had no strength to fight back against the attack of two Hellhounds. He could not help Zhangsun Lan.

Zhangsun Lan turned around to run but was knocked to the ground by a Hellhound’s paw.

Fortunately, the Little Witch didn’t give the order to kill. Therefore, the Hellhound didn’t kill her but just bit her ass hard.

“Ah…”

Zhangsun Lan felt a sudden gut-wrenching pain and screamed. She had been pampered in the Lord Mansion and had never suffered any provocation before, let alone having a piece of her flesh bitten off.

“Stop! Everyone, stop immediately!”

With a furious roar, Xiahou Hongxiang rushed in with Jiang Bin and a group of soldiers.

Xiahou Hongxiang was extremely afraid of his wife. After discussing the plan of killing Qin Haodong by making use of the Ghost King Sect, he went to see his wife. However, he did not see Zhangsun Lan after searching all over the inner residence.

He had placed a trusted subordinate by Zhangsun Lan’s side as well. He immediately called his trusted subordinate over and asked about it. Only then did he find out that his wife had brought people to the courtyard, hoping to catch him in the act of adultery.

This scared Xiahou Hongxiang so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. The one living there was Princess Xingyue. Wouldn’t it be a big problem for him if this stupid woman went there to catch him in the act of adultery?

He hastily gathered his people and rushed over to the courtyard. However, in the end, he was still too late. By the time he arrived, both sides had already begun to fight.

“Stop! Stop it, all of you!”

Xiahou Hongxiang desperately shouted for them to stop. The guards who were originally fleeing in all directions after being attacked ran even faster.

Qin Haodong waved his hand. The people on his side also stopped. The Little Witch sent the six Hellhounds back to the Gate of Life.

Zhangsun Lan covered her bloody butt and got up from the ground. When she saw Xiahou Hongxiang, she immediately cursed, “You damn old man! How dare you keep these vixens behind my back and let them beat me like this?

“If you don’t kill all these vixens today, I will definitely go and tell my uncle.”

Xiahou Hongxiang was scared out of his wits when he heard his wife calling Princess Xingyue a vixen in public.

Now the power of the Tortoise royal family was extremely consolidated. Everything he had now was from the royal family. If he truly angered the King, Zhao Xianlong, the entire Xiahou Family would be annihilated.

“Shut up! This is the Princess of the current dynasty. Quickly kneel down and apologize to the Princess!”

As Xiahou Hongxiang spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Zhangsun Lan in the face.

“Son of a bitch! How dare you beat me for that little vixen? I’ll kill you.”

Zhangsun Lan was slapped by Xiahou Hongxiang and bitten by a Hellhound. At this time, she almost lost her mind. She pounced on Xiahou Hongxiang with threatening gestures.

“You b*tch, shut up!” Xiahou Hongxiang was ashamed and furious and kicked Zhangsun Lan to the ground. “Are you crazy? Apologize to the Princess quickly.”

Squatting down on the ground, Zhangsun Lan finally came to her senses. “Princess? is she really the Princess?”

Zhao Xingyue said sternly, “Xiahou Hongxiang, your family is really good. Your nephew wanted me to be his 13th concubine. Now your wife thinks I’m part of your harem.

“You don’t regard me as the Princess? Or you don’t have any respect for the Tortoise royal family?”

“Your Highness, please quell your anger!”

Xiahou Hongxiang fell to his knees with a plop and kept kowtowing to Zhao Xingyue.

By this time Zhangsun Lan was completely dumbfounded. She was certain now that the person in front of her was the Princess of Tortoise Kingdom.

Hu Zhiwen standing nearby was confused. He was the one who had come up with the idea. He was the one who told Zhangsun Lan that it was impossible for the girl to be the Princess. If this thing was really looked into, he might lose his head.

Xiahou Hongxiang turned around and angrily shouted at Zhangsun Lan, “What the f*ck are you looking at? Quickly kowtow and admit your guilt to the Princess!”

“Your Highness, I was blind. I offended you. Your Highness, please spare me!”

Although Zhangsun Lan was shrewish and fierce, she was not stupid. She knew that her family relied on the Tortoise royal family. Once they really angered Princess Xingyue who was in front of them, Zhangsun Chengdu might not be able to protect them.

Zhao Xingyue did not even bother to look at her. She said to Xiahou Hongxiang, “Tell me. How will you deal with today’s matter?”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Your Highness, please forgive me. I will definitely severely discipline this stinky woman when I return home.”

Zhao Xingyue waved her hand and said, “Hurry up and return. I will report this matter to my father.”

“Please quell your anger, Your Highness. I will write to the King now to admit my error and ask for punishment.”

After that, Xiahou Hongxiang kowtowed again. Then he stood up and shouted angrily at the people around him, “Get out of here, all of you!”

Soon, he returned to the Lord Mansion with his men. As soon as they arrived home, Zhangsun Lan reverted to her former shrewish self.

“Xiahou Hongxiang, what do you mean? When did Princess Xingyue come? Why don’t I know anything about it? You have to explain it to me.”

“Wife, please don’t be angry. I’ll treat your injury first. You listen to me slowly.”

Xiahou Hongxiang quickly took out the healing ointment and applied it to Zhangsun Lan’s buttocks. Then, he told her the whole story from beginning to end.

“Wife, this matter is indeed a little troublesome. Although Princess Xingyue’s status is not high in the Tortoise royal family, she is the daughter of the King after all.

“She had one accident after another in our Golden Horse City. Once she goes back and reports these matters to the King, Zhao Xianlong will definitely be furious. At that time, our Xiahou Family’s status will be lost.”

Only then did Zhangsun Lan understand the cause and effect of the matter. She knew that she had made a big mistake. She thought for a moment and said, “Don’t worry! I will go to Tortoise City later. At that time, we will definitely be able to resolve this matter if I ask my uncle for help.”

Xiahou Hongxiang shook his head. “This matter concerns the reputation of the Tortoise royal family. I’m afraid that the Imperial Preceptor won’t be able to say anything.”

Zhangsun Lan asked nervously, “Then what should we do?”

A fierce look flashed across Xiahou Hongxiang’s face. “I didn’t want to kill Zhao Xingyue at first but now I have to silence her.”

“Is this all right?” Asked Zhangsun Lan, “Once something happens to Princess Xingyue in our Golden Horse City, our Xiahou Family will not be able to absolve ourselves of all responsibility. We will have to bear the wrath of the King.”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “We must make a careful plan for this matter. We can’t let the Tortoise royal family find fault with us.”
