She Holds the World After Being Reborn
Chapter 299 - 298: Teach You to Be a Dog? Rather Die than Obey!

Chapter 299: Chapter 298: Teach You to Be a Dog? Rather Die than Obey!

Huai Yu had just stepped into the courtyard, her foot not yet crossing the threshold, when suddenly a teacup came flying towards her, striking her brow unexpectedly and wounding her.

"Marquis!" Cui Zhi called out softly, but instantly fell silent.

The reason was none other than the fact that the one who threw the teacup was Huai Yu’s own birth mother, the lady of the Northern Border Marquis Residence, Wu Zhen.

At that moment, Wu Zhen was staring at Huai Rou with a dark expression.

"The Marquis sure has great prestige in the Capital City," she said.

Upon hearing this, Huai Yu’s lips thinned.

By now, blood had begun to flow from her brow, the vivid red trickling down her cheek. When she reached up to touch it, her fingertips encountered a shocking sight.

"Everyone leave," Huai Yu said, her voice grave.

The people inside the room did not dare linger and left immediately. When Cui Zhi went out, she closed all the doors properly.

Huai Yu took two steps forward: "Mother, why are you angry?"

She did not understand.

Wu Zhen tossed the letter in her hand onto the ground.

Huai Yu picked it up and saw it was indeed Yan Wanqing’s handwriting. She quickly went over the events that had taken place in the Capital City during those days and explained where she had been, adding that it would be at most another month before she would arrive at Northern Border City.

"I see no problem after reading it." The thick blood slowly flowed down, already staining her right eye crimson, turning half of her world red.

Wu Zhen half-closed her eyes and let out a cold snort, "No problem? Have all the years of my teaching gone to waste? Tell me, what is Yan Wanqing’s status?"

"Princess Anping, my fiancée," Huai Yu stated somberly. When the marriage was agreed upon with the Township Manor, it was her mother who had personally sent the wedding contract to the Capital City. There were no issues, and right now she truly did not understand why Wu Zhen was so angry.

So much so, that she had come to blows with her own daughter.

Seeing that she still did not grasp her point, Wu Zhen exhaled a heavy breath of gloomy air: "The news from the Capital City arrived just before her letter. Do you know the role she, Yan Wanqing, played in the chaos in the Capital City?"

Huai Yu remained silent.

She knew, but what of it?

Yan Wanqing was her dear friend.

If someone else did such things, she would consider it a great treachery, but when Yan Wanqing did it, Huai Yu simply did not see it as a major issue.

Therefore, even Wu Zhen’s anger appeared to her as nothing more than an overreaction.

"Yan Wanqing actually conspired with the Empress, planning a rebellion! If it weren’t for the Crown Prince’s efforts to avert the crisis, the Dawei might have already changed hands!" Wu Zhen continued, her expression growing colder with each word: "And yet you still allow such a traitorous official into our Northern Border, as if the turmoil isn’t bad enough!"

"She is coming to dissolve our engagement," Huai Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen’s brows furrowed tightly: "Right now the Yan Family can’t get by in the Capital City, and the entire family is relocating. It’s possible that dissolving the engagement is just an excuse. I’ve long heard about this Yan Wanqing; she’s extremely shrewd and may be intending to cling to the Northern Border. If you were someone... It would be fine, but you’re precisely—"

She couldn’t finish her sentence, yet Huai Yu could already feel the fury in her mother’s tone.

At times like these, Wu Zhen would unleash her anger onto her.

Huai Yu stood expressionless, the wound on her forehead utterly ignored.

She could not dodge, nor could she cry out, lest it provoked a more ferocious beating.

But today, Wu Zhen clearly had no further interest in that.

The news of Yan Wanqing’s arrival made her feel utterly weak and exhausted.

"Does she know your true circumstances?"

Without a thought, Huai Yu lied: "She does not."

Wu Zhen felt somewhat relieved, "That’s good. In that case, Yan Wanqing can’t leverage anything against you."

She pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I will handle this matter; you needn’t worry about it. The old lady and the second branch don’t know yet about your fiancée’s arrival; otherwise, it would surely lead to another stormy debacle."

The mention of the old lady and the second branch did not mask the murderous intent in Huai Yu’s eyes.

"Mother, what exactly are you still hesitating about? We clearly already have the power to crush them, so why must we keep enduring time and again?!"

Huai Yu found this incomprehensible.

A profound sorrow flashed in Wu Zhen’s eyes.

"No matter what, they are still your father’s birth mother and siblings. If we really made a move, how would I face your father after a hundred years?"

That same old speech!

Every opportunity had been missed because of Wu Zhen’s hesitations!

Resentment flashed through Huai Yu’s heart.

"What about them? Have they ever thought of mother and child? Mother... if you don’t want to meet father prematurely, then stop being so indecisive."

Wu Zhen’s expression turned awkward, and she swept Huai Yu with a cold glance, "I have my own judgment in this matter, it’s not your place to teach me! Get out!"

Huai Yu swallowed all the words she had and walked out.

It was always like this.

She fiercely opened the door and saw Cui Zhi standing outside.

Seeing the injury on her face, Cui Zhi offered her a handkerchief, "Marquis, wipe it off."

Huai Yu gave her a glance, ignored her, and walked towards the courtyard’s exit.

If possible, she truly wished she had died in Wu Zhen’s womb, rather than being a puppet in the Northern Border Marquis Residence!

"How come you’re coming out all injured again?" Wu Bie, dressed in red, leaped down from the wall and extended his hand to touch her.

Huai Yu didn’t even lift her eyes, brushing his hand away.

"Scram!"

Seeing the hostility radiating from her, Wu Bie sighed lightly, "Ever since you were young, you’ve always been so stubborn. If you learned from me, to go along with her, you wouldn’t always be covered in wounds."

Hearing this, Huai Yu sneered, "Learn from you and be a dog?"

Wu Bie’s eyes flickered.

Huai Yu kept walking forward without looking back, "I’d rather die than obey!"

For her to be a dog that only obeys Wu Zhen without resistance, that would never happen in this lifetime!

One day, she would rid herself of the Poisonous Insect Poison that Wu Zhen used to control her, and then she would leave forever the filthy, ugly Northern Border!

And never come back!

Huai Yu left the mansion with a surge of anger and set out into the outdoors.

What she did not know was that after she left,

Cui Zhi kneeled before Wu Zhen.

"Keep an eye on this woman named Yan Wanqing. Kill her before they arrive at the Northern Border," Wu Zhen said of the murder with an ease as if commenting on the day’s weather, "Aren’t they coming to dissolve the engagement? As long as she dies, the engagement will naturally be nullified, and this mess of the Yan Family won’t touch the Northern Border."

Cui Zhi bowed her head, "Understood."

She was indeed the most loyal and devoted dog at Wu Zhen’s side, almost like an extension of Wu Zhen herself.

Wu Zhen looked at the incense burning inside the room and continued, "Is there any news from the second household and the old lady?"

"The old lady went out and hasn’t returned, and the second household has been quarreling over some shops with Marquis," Cui Zhi replied.

A look of contempt flashed in Wu Zhen’s eyes, "It’s just a few jade shops, let them have it; is there a need for quarrels?" She lazily rubbed her forehead, "I’ll make the decision to give them to the second household. Let Huai Yu be more generous, not to spoil the hard-earned peace over such petty benefits."

This was the Northern Border Marquis Residence she had striven so hard to preserve over the years.

Whoever dared to disrupt it would pay with their life.
