Chapter 323 - The Scheming Royal Family (2)

It was practically a joke for Lei Qin to think that Ji family would stop her.

The reason they had come was because Ji family wanted to use another person’s hands to kill her.

Laughable...

It was laughable.

Currently, Lei Qin had really regretted it. If she had stopped Lei Yuanxu’s arrogance right from the right, if she had not taken away the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed when Ji Fengyan was unconscious and if they had not thought of revenge when Lei Ao was back...

Everything was because of Lei Xu’s death.

But how much did Lei Xu even mean to Lei family?

Suddenly, Lei Qin thought of something...

“Ji Fengyan, even if you did something to Lei family and Ji family, did you think that you could end everything?” Lei Qin said with her eyes narrowed.

Ji Fengyan looked at Lei Qin.

Lei Yuanxu was slightly stunned. He had faintly sensed that what Lei Qin was about to say would have deep implications...

“Sister...” Lei Yuanxu started to panic.

Lei Qin took a deep breath in. The killing aura from Ji Fengyan was real and she did not care anymore. Either way she would die, so she wanted to struggle for one last time.

“What do you mean?” Ji Fengyan asked.

Lei Qin looked at Ji Fengyan and said, “Lei Xu is only an insignificant member of our Lei family. Even if Lei Min was brought up in our main family for a few years, he was only a small figure. Why would we target a terminator just because of such unimportant people?”

Ji Fengyan squinted her eyes. Lei Qin reminded her that the hatred that Lei family bore for her seemed to exist right from the start. Given the status of Lei Xu and Lei Min in the Lei family, there was no reason for the Lei main family to target her.

“What do you want to say?” Ji Fengyan said.

Lei Qin replied, “I want to make a deal with you.”

“What deal?”

“If I tell you who was the person who had secretly wanted to harm you, you have to let go of Lei family. I am already very clear that the Lei family is not your match. I don’t want to seek my death. And isn’t it beneficial for you to know who your real enemy is?” Lei Qin looked at Ji Fengyan. Currently, she could only give it her best shot.

Lei Ao tolerated the pain and looked at Lei Qin. His heart skipped a beat. He did not know how Lei family had developed a grudge for Ji Fengyan, but now that he heard about it, it seemed a little strange.

“Say it,” Ji Fengyan casually looked at Lei Qin.

Lei Qin took a deep breath in.

“It’s the Eldest Princess.”

Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback.

Lei Qin said each word and sentence clearly, “When you were still at Ji City, the Eldest Princess had already sent us news about how you had killed Lei Xu and had shown disrespect to Lei family. However, it was not a sufficient reason for us to target you based on Lei Xu’s status. But the Eldest Princess personally sent someone to rush us to act quickly. Obviously, she was displeased with you and had not wanted to deal with you herself.”

If it was not because they had no other choice, Lei Qin would not have told anyone about this. When the Eldest Princess sent them news previously, only her and the Lei family’s head had known about it. That day, if it was not because she had sensed Ji Fengyan’s intention to kill the Lei family, how would she dare to risk offending the Eldest Princess?

“Not only the Lei family, I believe that Ji family had also received the Eldest Princess’s instructions. This explains why Ji Qiu would disregard your identity as a terminator and continued to oppress you. Regardless of whether it was Lei family or Ji family, we were only the chess pieces of the Eldest Princess. I do not know how you have offended the Eldest Princess, but I hope that by saying this, it could exchange for Lei family’s safety.” Lei Qin looked straight at Ji Fengyan.
