Chapter 416: Chapter 412: Blood Splattering From the Nose_1

At a glance, Chen Tiantian was taken aback by Yingbao. But she quickly recognized who the young girl in front of her was.

Her countenance changed several times as she forced a smile, “Yingbao, you’ve also come to Beijing.”

Yingbao glanced at her and gave a small nod, lifting her skirt to cross the threshold.

Seeing Yingbao walking away without looking back, Chen Tiantian subconsciously followed a few steps, “Yingbao, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

Yingbao climbed onto the horse carriage and looked down at her, “If you have something to say, say it here.”

Chen Tiantian looked around and pleaded, “Can we find a quieter place?”

Yingbao gave a faint smile, “It seems quite quiet here, just speak.”

She was curious about what Chen Tiantian wanted to say.

Seeing Yingbao’s nonchalant demeanor made Chen Tiantian angry, but she had no choice but to swallow her pride, “Yingbao, actually, you and I are maternal cousins. My mother is your biological aunt. You and Chen Zhao and Chen Wan are blood sisters.”

“Where did you get that information?” Yingbao looked at her indifferently as her heart remained calm.

“I…” Chen Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, “I was told by a… wise person.”

The voice in her head, in fact, hasn’t spoken to her in a long time. Ever since the time when she suddenly spat out blood and fainted, that voice hadn’t given her any advice.

On the contrary, Chen Tiantian had been feeling increasingly weak lately, her complexion getting progressively paler. Even her skin had darkened considerably. If not for the thick layer of makeup on her face, she wouldn’t dare to show herself in public.

She had a hunch that it was all because of something Yingbao had done.

But she had no idea what exactly that thing was.

Today, she could meet Yingbao in Beijing, Chen Tiantian was shocked and overjoyed, instinctively wanting to seize this opportunity to find out the truth.

She really didn’t want to die. She wanted to live a long, long life, to outlive Yingbao, that petty wench.

“Oh?” Yingbao asked with a look of indifference. “What do you want to achieve by telling me all this now?”

Chen Tiantian wiped her eyes with her sleeve, grief-stricken, “Your parents are both gone, and now you and I are the closest relatives. Yingbao, as long as we, as sisters, unite and work together, our lives will get better and better.”

Yingbao chuckled, “Even without you, I’m doing quite well.”

Then her face hardened, “And moreover, my parents are doing just fine. So please take your fake face elsewhere, don’t disgust me.”

“You…” Chen Tiantian was so angry she pointed at Yingbao, “You don’t even recognize your ancestors anymore? Chen Yingbao, you’re a Chen, not a Jiang! People like you who regard invader as the father will be thrown into the frying pan after death…ah…”

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Tiantian was fiercely whipped on the head twice. One of the blows grazed her cheek, leaving a red mark that quickly started to swell.

“Jiang Yingbao! How dare you commit violence on the street!” Xiao Chengjun was outraged and rushed over to attack Yingbao.

Yingbao squinted her eyes, dropped the whip in her hand, quickly jumped off the horse carriage and delivered a punch straight at Xiao Chengjun’s face.

The punch carried a wind, hitting Xiao Chengjun hard in the face. Blood splattered from his nose as he was thrown several feet away, landing on his back and stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Ah… Murder!” Chen Tiantian ran quickly to Han Yueniang, screaming in fear with trembling hands and feet.

Yingbao slowly walked over, giving her a cold look, “Chen Tiantian, who gave you the courage to provoke me time and again?”

If it wasn’t broad daylight, and she wasn’t worried about affecting her brother’s career, she would have ended these two on the spot.

Han Family stood in front of her daughter, looking terrified at the beautiful young girl standing before them, stammering, “You…how dare you hurt Xiao Chengjun?”

Yingbao scoffed, “He’s just a defeated soldier. What does it matter if he gets hurt? Besides, he started it.”

Old master Wu told her before, the emperor was keeping the Xiao brothers just because the Xiao family had deep roots and couldn’t be moved temporarily.

Once the time was right, or if the Xiao brothers made a big mistake, they would be dealt with all together.

Han Yueniang stopped talking immediately upon hearing this.
