C23 She Was to be Chosen to Enter the Palace as His Concubine?

The fierceness in Xia Chun's eyes did not dissipate, he wanted nothing more than to swallow Seventh Aunt down. "Scram! Yi Shuang is my fiancee, and before long, she will be my wife. If anyone tries to harm her, I'll fight them with my life. "

"Big brother, you can't be so selfish. We already reported Yi Shuang's name to the county, and when the Ninth Prince's people come, the county will send someone to take her. As for you, find a girl with a good appearance and temperament and marry her.

Xia Chunyi clenched his fist in anger, the veins on his fist popped out with a gurgling sound.

Seventh Aunt shrank back in fear. "Big Brother, let's talk properly if you have something to say. Don't be impulsive."

"Speak, when did you announce Yi Shuang's name?"

"Just a moment ago." Forced by Xia Chun's power, Seventh Aunt said appropriately.

Upon receiving the answer, Xia Chun directly knocked Seventh Aunt unconscious on the ground.

"Yi Shuang, don't be afraid. I'll go and intercept the messenger. I won't let you be sent to the palace." Xia Chun comforted her, squatted down and dragged Seventh Aunt out like a dog.

"Big Brother Xia, what are you doing?" Xia Yiyi asked.

"This woman has a big mouth. I'll tie her up first, so that she won't have to look for your bad luck when she wakes up." With that, Xia Chun dragged the man out.

After Xia Chun left, he did not enter again.

Xia Yiyi's sickness was much better, and she had regained a lot of strength. With Xia Chun's special care, her body also gained a little bit of flesh. Although she was still considered skinny, it was still much more than before.

When Xia Yiyi arrived at the kitchen, she saw that Seventh Aunt was tied to a pillar with all sorts of things tied up.

A fierce light flashed through Xia Yiyi's eyes. This person was the culprit that had almost caused her death, and now he still wanted to send her to the palace for benefits. If he didn't teach her a lesson, she would really be treated as a weakling.

Xia Yi Yi scooped up a ladle of water and threw it at Seventh Aunt, who woke up with a start. Seeing that Xia Yi Yi was the one who did it, she couldn't help but get angry, and was about to curse when she saw that Xia Yi Yi had found a knife and walked over. We're all relatives, so let's talk it out loud. What are you doing with a knife?

Xia Yiyi propped up the knife in her hand and squatted in front of Seventh Aunt. She used the knife to pat Seventh Aunt's face and said with a smile: "Aunt, what do you think would happen if this blade grazed your face?"

Seventh Aunt was so frightened that her face changed drastically. "Yimo, we should talk it over. There's no need to tear each other's faces apart."

Xia Yiyi smiled even brighter: "Aunty, don't be scared, I'm just playing with a knife. As long as you tell me something, I won't hurt you."

"Tell me, tell me, I'll tell you what I know." Seventh Aunt was very sensible. She felt that Xia Yiyi was like a yaksha who had just returned from hell to take her life. Although she was smiling, that smile did not reach her eyes.

"Why did you report my name? What is my true identity? " Xia Yiyi asked.

Seventh Aunt's eyes flickered.

"Don't think that you can fool me. You have to know that I'm no longer the same Xia Yi Shuang from before. If you piss me off, I have plenty of ways to make you disappear without a trace."

Seventh Aunt shivered, trembling with fear. "Yi Shuang, Aunt did this for your own good. Think about it, if you enter the palace, you'll be rich and powerful, surrounded by palace maids and countless gold and jewelry. Aunt only reported your name because she saw that you looked good."

Xia Yiyi patted the knife in her hand, laughing, "Auntie, you're lying. Where did I cut you with this knife?"

Seventh Aunt was so scared that her face became even paler. She said anxiously: "Don't, don't, Yi Shuang, Aunt was just joking with you just now, don't take it seriously."

"Then tell me seriously, otherwise the blade in my hand will not recognize you." Xia Yiyi threatened.

"It's not that Auntie wants to push you into a fire pit, but someone wants to send you to the palace. Aunty is a village woman with limited knowledge, and that person is rich and powerful. Aunty and the village chief have no choice." Seventh Aunt's words were sincere.

Xia Yi Yi's eyes turned cold as she asked, "Who was that person?"

Seventh Aunt was obviously very fearful of that person, her eyes twinkling incessantly. "Yi Shuang, don't force her. That person isn't someone we can afford to offend. Obediently obey his wishes and enter the palace."

"Seventh Aunt, if you're serious, then I'll let you go. If you don't, then don't blame me for not having eyes for the sword." Xia Yi Yi shook the blade in her hand as she spoke in an eerie tone.

In modern times, Xia Yiyi wasn't a bookworm who only knew how to read books. She was the most adept at enticing and coercing people. She also knew what was the best way to make someone spit out what they wanted to say.

Seeing the sword swinging in front of her, Seventh Aunt's heart jumped again and again. "Yi Shuang, if you have something to say, you can talk about it. Don't be like this. The sword isn't very long, can we put it away first?"

"Put it away? "Sure, as long as you spit out the secrets that you know, I promise you that you will immediately put away the blade. Otherwise …" Xia Yi Yi pointed the sabre at Seventh Aunt's face and fiercely said, "Otherwise, if the sabre makes a few cuts on your face, don't blame me for slipping."

Seventh Aunt was so scared that she cried out repeatedly.

"Shut up!" Xia Yiyi scolded with a frown.

Seventh Aunt shivered, then tremblingly shut her mouth.

"How is it, Seventh Aunt, did you remember who wanted me to enter the palace?" Xia Yiyi patted Seventh Aunt's face and asked again, "I've only given you this chance. If you don't say anything, don't blame me for not having eyes for this knife."

Seventh Aunt was so scared that she started trembling. Seeing Xia Yiyi's fierce look, she believed that she could do what she said.

Seventh Aunt tremblingly opened her mouth. "Yi Shuang, if you have something to say, let's talk it out. Don't be like this …"

"Speak, don't waste each other's time." Xia Yiyi said fiercely.

Seventh Aunt swallowed her saliva and said with a pale face, "Yi Shuang, it's not that Aunt doesn't want to say, but this aunt really can't. I've said it, not only is Aunt dead, even Aunt's family will die."

Xia Yiyi frowned as she wondered who was the mastermind behind all of this. Who could make the arrogant Seventh Aunt so quiet? Furthermore, how closely related was this person to his original body that he was supposed to send the original body to the palace?

Seventh Aunt pleaded, "Yi Shuang, seeing that Aunt also gave you food, you can let Auntie go this time. As for whether or not you want to go to the palace, it depends on whether Xia Chun can get that list back. If he can't, you can't blame Aunt for being heartless.

Xia Yiyi coldly stared at her. This person was truly someone who wouldn't shed tears even if he couldn't see the coffin.

Xia Yiyi raised the knife and cut her arm, causing blood to flow out, staining her clothes red.

Seventh Aunt was in so much pain that she let out the sound of a pig being butchered. "Murder, murder, save me!"

"Aunt, if you scream again, do you believe that I can slash your other arm again?" Xia Yiyi threatened.

The pig-slaughtering sound came to an abrupt stop.

"I will give you one last chance. If you do not say it, you will not only be injured on your arm." Xia Yiyi said fiercely. Today, no matter what, she had to find out who the mastermind was.

Seventh Aunt was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. After seeing Xia Yiyi's ruthlessness, she finally grew fearful. "Yishuang, you can't treat Auntie like this. Auntie has her own difficulties …"

"Speak!" Xia Yi Yi Yi had obviously lost her patience as she wiggled the sword in her hand.

Seventh Aunt swallowed her saliva and whispered, "It's Ninth Prince."

Ninth Prince?

Xia Yiyi was startled. She did not expect the original body to be related to the imperial court. However, what was the original body's status? Why did the dignified and noble Ninth Prince come to find her?

Xia Yiyi frowned and said: "I am just a penniless village woman, why would the Ninth Prince look for me? Are you talking nonsense in front of him? "

Seventh Aunt's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw the shiny blade in Xia Yiyi's hand. She admitted everything tactfully: "Yishuang, you're accusing Aunt unjustly. Who is Auntie?" She was just an ignorant woman. How could she match up to a dragon like the Ninth Prince? Don't laugh at me, we just privately passed your portrait over to him for a look, and didn't expect it to actually pass. Luckily we didn't burn you to death, or else the Ninth Prince would have caused the whole village to suffer. "

So that's how it was!

Xia Yiyi had completely given up all hope for the Xia family's village. The original owner was also a person who lived here and was a weak girl who had no one to rely on. She didn't think that the Xia family's village would treat her with such cruelty.

Xia Yiyi fiercely held the blade against Seventh Aunt's neck and sinisterly said: "Aunt, I originally didn't want to kill you, but your words and expression are really despicable. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to vent the hatred in my heart."

Seventh Aunt was so scared that cold sweat flowed out of her body and a stench came from her crotch. It turned out that she had lost control of her bladder due to the shock.

So unfazed.

Xia Yiyi pouted as she thought in disdain.

"Yi Shuang, Aunt was just temporarily possessed by a trance. Don't kill me. As long as you don't kill me, I won't find trouble with you in the future." Seventh Aunt said timidly.

Xia Yiyi raised her blade and hacked over. Seventh Aunt passed out before the blade even reached her.

Xia Yiyi retracted her blade and looked at Seventh Aunt with a cold smile, "Killing you and dirtying my hands. But since you're so scheming against the original body, wouldn't it be a shame if you didn't show some color?"

Xia Yiyi stroked her chin as a brilliant plan struck her mind.

When Xia Chun returned, Xia Yi went up to him and asked, "Brother Xia, how was it?"

Xia Chun was dejected, not even daring to look at Xia Yi Yi Yi.

Seeing him in such a state, what else did Xia Yiyi not understand? "Didn't catch up?"

Xia Chun lowered his head even more, "Yi Shuang, I'm useless, I've let you down."

Xia Yi Yi was still relatively calm as she said, "Big Brother Xia, don't be like this. There will be a solution eventually. I just want to ask you, once this document is sent up, how many days will it take for the people from the Shangguan family to come here?"
