She Holds the World After Being Reborn
Chapter 184: The Fight Continues, Who is More Shameless?

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Fight Continues, Who is More Shameless?

"You don’t allow it? Who do you think you are?" Li Chengyuan sneered.

"Even your father, the Duke of the State, couldn’t stop all of this from happening, how can you?" The endings in the novels had all become predetermined.

This splendid woman would die on a desolate winter evening, her heart pierced by an arrow from Mo Shan by Xiao Hongshen’s side, then falling off a cliff.

The process might have changed a bit because of her arrival, but the ending would not change.

Yan Wanqing would die.

It was predetermined.

Yan Wanqing looked into Li Chengyuan’s eyes, always feeling as if she knew something, "How do you know I can’t stop it?"

Li Chengyuan almost blurted out that she just knew but stopped herself upon seeing the eyes of the woman in front of her.

She must not forget, Yan Wanqing’s intelligence and wisdom were unmatched in Dawei.

She couldn’t slip up and give Yan Wanqing the chance to defy fate.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyuan swallowed hard, "You can’t twist an arm stronger than your thigh, the Duke’s fate is also what awaits you in the future, rabbits die and dogs are cooked, it’s something that has happened through the ages, no one is an exception."

"What about you? You are devoted to the Seventh Prince, even daring to launch the Firework Coup that night, do you really think the Emperor didn’t notice at all? You think marrying the Seventh Prince means everything is set, but what if the Seventh Prince doesn’t live that long?" Yan Wanqing wasn’t naive either.

She was proclaimed a female Zhuge Liang, not only for her cunning but also for her skill in manipulating people’s hearts.

Li Chengyuan, questioned by her words, quickly refocused on herself.

She suddenly realized that this Western Expedition was not in the plot at all.

War is ruthless, if the Seventh Prince dies in the Western Expedition, what would she be then, the widow of the prince?!

Li Chengyuan’s expression changed subtly.

She began to doubt whether she had bet too early.

"What nonsense are you spouting, what Firework Coup? I know nothing,"

Li Chengyuan shook her head.

Yan Wanqing’s lips curled disdainfully, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, I’ve wasted too much time with you." She stepped toward Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan hurriedly backed away, then she shouted out, "You’re all useless! I am the Princess Yaochi, appointed by the Emperor himself; I command you to come in and protect me!"

The outside was silent as a grave.

As soon as Yan Wanqing decided to make a move, the soldiers outside had wisely left.

As the proverb goes,

When women fight, it’s best to stand far away.

One is the Commandery Princess of Anping, the other is the Princess Yaochi.

Their statuses were both more exalted than theirs.

It was better that their fight did not involve other innocent people.

Li Chengyuan’s screams had no effect at all, not to mention nobody came in, there wasn’t even a sound from outside.

Her face turning pale, she stared at the approaching Yan Wanqing, "What do you want to do! I warn you not to mess around, your entire Yan Family will be eliminated because of your actions!"

"What actions?" Yan Wanqing scoffed, "Besides, the Emperor is far away, and you’ve been misbehaving right in front of me. Giving you a few slaps is all within my rights, who else could intervene? Moreover, this falls under my jurisdiction, who can manage it?"

These were the words Li Chengyuan had previously said.

Today, Yan Wanqing felt utterly disgusted, as if she had swallowed flies.

"Do you really want to go to such lengths for these lowly villagers?"

"I would do it for anyone, but I will never sacrifice any of them for you." Not just the villagers, but also her soldiers; everyone’s life was more important than the selfish and arrogant Li Chengyuan standing before her.

Li Chengyuan wanted to struggle one last time. She opened her mouth to say something when Yan Wanqing’s hand blade had already reached behind her head.

Just one blow.

Li Chengyuan collapsed limply and Yan Wanqing reached out to catch her.

People outside saw Yan Wanqing carrying Li Chengyuan out and bowed their heads.

Yan Wanqing carried Li Chengyuan all the way to the residence of the Bai Village Chief.

Many villagers saw her on the road, and without speaking, followed her, slowly gathering at the door of the Bai Village Chief.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Yan Wanqing knocked on the door.

It didn’t take long for the Bai Village Chief to open the door, and seeing the person on Yan Wanqing’s shoulder, he paused for a moment, then peeked out to look behind her: "Is it just you?"

"How many people did the Bai Village Chief expect? Aren’t they all poisoned?" Yan Wanqing had specifically instructed Officer Chang not to let the soldiers follow her, as it was most appropriate for her to handle this matter.

No matter how arrogant Li Chengyuan was, her status was below her own.

But it was different for Officer Chang and the soldiers.

It would not take much for them to become entangled in this, and their lives would inevitably be at risk.

This was something Yan Wanqing had thought through before coming.

She carried Li Chengyuan into the courtyard.

At that moment in the center of the courtyard, there was a coffin containing the body of the female villager, Bao Juan.

Yan Wanqing set down Li Chengyuan and looked solemnly at the village chief: "Do you mind if I offer her incense?"

The Bai Village Chief shook his head and handed her three sticks of incense.

Yan Wanqing lit the candle and then placed the three sticks of incense into the burner, solemnly kowtowed, and then slowly rose.

The Bai Village Chief originally thought offering incense was the limit, but he was greatly shocked when Yan Wanqing also kowtowed.

"I know the pain of losing a loved one, please grieve prudently," Yan Wanqing said. "The culprit, I have already brought here, at the disposal of the village chief."

The Bai Village Chief looked at Li Chengyuan, lying unconscious on the ground, his lips trembling, and asked, "Did the Commander also lose a loved one?"

"Yes," Yan Wanqing nodded. "Recently, my father and brothers, fourteen in total."

The Bai Village Chief was greatly shocked: "Why?"

"War," Yan Wanqing quietly stated. "The village chief has seen, we are actually Dawei’s army, we are currently heading west to settle the conflict. We should not have caused any trouble, but since it has happened, there is no other choice. Military matters are urgent; I hope the village chief can send someone to quickly provide the antidote to my soldiers, allowing them to quickly join the front line..."

As the Bai Village Chief looked at Yan Wanqing’s face, he bit his lip: "Is your father Yan Guozhong?"

Yan Wanqing was startled for a moment: "How would the village chief know.

To say that people near the Capital City know my father’s name is quite normal, but this village is thousands of miles away from the Capital City, a journey so long it’s practically only been concerned with its own days, like a detached haven unimaginable.

That the Bai Village Chief knew her father’s name was really quite surprising to Yan Wanqing.

Seeing Yan Wanqing admit it, his expression immediately saddened, and he bowed deeply, preparing to kneel before her.

Yan Wanqing quickly reached out to pull him up.

"Why would the village chief do this?"
