406 Rather Die Than Kneel Iii (1/2)

The Wei family's 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 master's 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 families' masters had toiled and moiled in protecting this land by following in the old general's steps.

They shed blood and tears and did all they could to protect the land. n.o.body could trample on their land!

The old lady turned pale as she realized that n.o.body had listened to her. Her face crumpled in agony as her anger almost exploded from her chest.

”Old lady… ” Wei Pinyao smiled ironically. ”You better talk lesser. Wei Mengjie and Wei Xiang almost became traitors while all of the Wei family's guards are still faithful. Do you really think they would protect such a traitor? If you talk more, I'm afraid they might stop protecting you, too.

”After all, you betrayed our kingdom too…”

The old lady's 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 Fang'er to severely punish this little b*tch when they return to the Wei family.

Liu Fei's sword slashed at Qin Yi's 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 Dai'er. She seemed resolute.

”Mother, do you think cousin will return?” Dai'er asked as her bright eyes widened.

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat because she could not bear to tell Dai'er the truth, and she did not want Feng Ruqing to be back at that time too. However, looking at Dai'er bright eyes, she nodded eventually.

”She will be back.”

She would be back sooner or later, but not at that moment.

”Hooray!” A smile lighted up Dai'er face. She still looked adorable, even though her face was stained with blood. ”Then very soon, Cousin will send them down to make them apologize to us. I will wait for them there.”
