The Wei familyâs guard ignored the old lady.
They protected the old lady simply because she was an elderly, as for the others... Even if they would be blamed or punished by their master, they still wanted to follow their hearts, for once.
For their masterâs whole life, he had been loyal, brave, and faithful through all the battles.
Back then, before Empress Nalan was here, their master and the other great familiesâ masters had toiled and moiled in protecting this land by following in the old generalâs steps.
They shed blood and tears and did all they could to protect the land. Nobody could trample on their land!
The old lady turned pale as she realized that nobody had listened to her. Her face crumpled in agony as her anger almost exploded from her chest.
âOld lady... â Wei Pinyao smiled ironically. âYou better talk lesser. Wei Mengjie and Wei Xiang almost became traitors while all of the Wei familyâs guards are still faithful. Do you really think they would protect such a traitor? If you talk more, Iâm afraid they might stop protecting you, too.
âAfter all, you betrayed our kingdom too...â
The old ladyâs heart jolted in pain. This time, she remained silent, but she glared at Wei Pinyao grudgingly.
If they could survive this time, she would ask Fangâer to severely punish this little b*tch when they return to the Wei family.

Liu Feiâs sword slashed at Qin Yiâs arm. Her blood splashed everywhere and stained the ground red.
As usual, her dark eyes remained calm. It was as if she had a limited range of emotions.
But her arms were still clutching Daiâer. She seemed resolute.
âMother, do you think cousin will return?â Daiâer asked as her bright eyes widened.
Qin Yiâs heart skipped a beat because she could not bear to tell Daiâer the truth, and she did not want Feng Ruqing to be back at that time too. However, looking at Daiâer bright eyes, she nodded eventually.
âShe will be back.â
She would be back sooner or later, but not at that moment.
âHooray!â A smile lighted up Daiâer face. She still looked adorable, even though her face was stained with blood. âThen very soon, Cousin will send them down 1 to make them apologize to us. I will wait for them there.â
Qin Yi felt desolated. The four kingdoms had allied with one another this time. She would never believe it if there was no one behind this. Therefore, Feng Ruqing was no match for them at the moment.
Unless she had fully grown up.
But looking at Daiâerâs hopeful eyes, Qin Yi could only fake a smile.
âYup, they will apologize soon...â
Countless swords came from all directions, besieging Qin Yi and Daiâer in the middle.
As Daiâer had Qin Yiâs assurance, she smiled in relief and slowly closed her eyes.
Qin Yi defended those long swords with her back and held Daiâer tightly, protected in her arms. She gently closed her eyesâ
âIâm sorry, Zhangqian. I could not wait any longer for you to return.
âBut Iâm proud of the Nalan family. If thereâs an afterlife, I will still be the Nalan familyâs daughter-in-law, I will still be your wife.â
Clang!
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the sky.
It was a loud, clanging voice as if a stone struck a sword.
Qin Yi was shocked as she gradually opened her eyes.
Suddenly, all the people who lay siege to them fell backward and collapsed into the pool of blood.
She was stunned. She slowly turned her head around. In the glow of the sunset, two petite figures came into her vision.
âSister Xiao Yin.â Daiâer had opened her eyes too.
She immediately noticed Tang Yin and Qian Ning. Her little heart was filled with joy.
âDaiâer, you know them?â Qin Yi was dumbfounded.
