Hey, you are reborn too?

The girl was innocent, but her words sounded like the devil's whispers.

This immediately stimulated Jiang Ying's already fragile nerves.

"I, you," she didn't dare to touch the ground with one wrist. The man was too strong just now, and her tendons and bones were injured. She might not be able to move for ten days. "Then, what do you want?"

"If you want to apologize sincerely, you should kowtow, right?"

The girl paused, then leaned forward and half-knelt in front of her, her eyes clear: "Your Highness, what do you think?"

Jiang Ying didn't dare to say anything and immediately threw her head to the ground.

As she had been pampered since childhood, she had no idea how to kowtow and could only randomly bang her forehead against the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang"!

The sound was extremely loud, and after only a few knocks, blood immediately oozed from the Ninth Princess' smooth and white forehead.

After knocking three times, seeing that Xie Yongwei still did not respond, Jiang Ying did not dare to provoke her again. After a pause, she continued to knock briskly.

After knocking ten times in a row, the girl's clear voice slowly came.

"Well, I'm not the kind of person who likes to make things difficult for others."

Jiang Ying didn't dare to look up. At this moment, Xie Yongwei made her feel extremely unfamiliar.

Clearly, not long ago at the flower-viewing banquet, she had allowed her mother to do as she pleased. Why had she become like this in less than ten days?

Jiang Ying's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the severe pain in her wrist reminded her that no matter how Xie Yongwei became like this, if she didn't want to suffer now, the best way was to admit her mistake.

And accept all the conditions set by Xie Yongwei.

“Miss Xie,” Jiang Ying’s voice was already filled with tears. The intense fear was weighing on her chest like a huge rock, making it hard for her to breathe. “I beg you to be magnanimous and let me go this time!”

"Let you go?"

Xie Yongwei's voice rang in her ears, with the clarity unique to a child and innocent cruelty.

"No way," a soft and gentle voice sounded close to her ear, "I will now take back all the debts you and your mother owed me."

Jiang Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.

Xie Yongwei knew what she and her mother had done to her in secret!

"Thank you, Miss Xie," Jiang Ying saw Xie Yongwei take a step back and seemed to be about to stand up. She grabbed her sleeve and said, "Even if my mother is guilty, I am innocent!"

"Oh?"

The girl drew out the last line of her voice and paused while moving backwards, as if she was curious about what she said.

"how do I say this?"

"Thank you, Miss," Jiang Ying's mind was working faster than anything else at this moment. Her pupils were swaying in her eyes as she quickly searched for all kinds of arguments that were favorable to her. "That was an idea to harm you. It was all done by my mother. I am a princess, but a princess without real power!"

Xie Yongwei's expression softened slightly.

Jiang Ying thought she was persuaded by him, and quickly said, "Besides, there is no hatred between you and me, so why should I go out of my way to deal with you? Don't you think so?"

"There is no great hatred."

Xie Yongwei looked down at Jiang Ying with her eyes half-closed.

"What a great person who has no deep hatred."

The corners of her mouth curled up, as if she had heard something extremely funny. Her chest shook slightly and she actually chuckled.

"You," Jiang Ying was originally proud of her flawless words, but now she saw Xie Yongwei smiling, and she felt uneasy, "What are you laughing at?"

"Princess," Xie Yongwei leaned down and politely looked at Jiang Ying at eye level, "Don't you think it's a little too late for you to say this?"

Jiang Ying was shocked by her aura and was too stunned to speak for a moment.

This kind of aura can only be possessed by those who have been in a high position for a long time.

Over the years, Jiang Ying had seen it in her father and her mother, but never in such a young woman.

What's more, at this time, Xie Yongwei was not a person of status. She was just the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion. Compared with her, the princess, her status was far inferior.

How could she, the daughter of a minister, possess such grace and natural elegance?

Before Jiang Ying could figure it out, she felt a sharp pain in her hand.

"what--"

She screamed subconsciously.

His eyes fell to the back of his hand and found that it was already blood red.

He saw that his hands, which were originally as white and delicate as mutton-fat jade, became bloody and covered with scars.

Jiang Ying collapsed.

A piercing pain came from the back of her hand, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe for a moment.

The pearl hairpin seemed to be completely unaware and was "working" on the back of her hand in an orderly manner, horizontally and vertically.

Tears welled up in her eyes and Jiang Ying could no longer see the face of the girl in front of her.

She was shaking all over and her vision was blurry.

"Please let me go, please let me go!"

"Hey," a warm and soft childish voice responded softly, "I thought you were stupid. I rowed for so long and you didn't even react."

"I have a reaction, I have a reaction," Jiang Ying ignored her bloody hands, her whole body was trembling, she lowered her head and knelt at Xie Yongwei's feet, "You can ask me to do anything, you can ask me to do anything!"

"Oh?"

The girl's last note is drawn out, sounding calm and relaxed.

But when Jiang Ying heard it, she shuddered again.

"If that's the case, then I won't do it myself next time."

Jiang Ying felt someone pat her shoulder and something was pulled out from her head.

She looked up blankly and blinked several times to push away the tears in front of her eyes, only then did she see the thing that Xie Yongwei handed to her.

It was the silver hairpin with cloud and phoenix pattern that she usually loved to wear.

"Take it."

The voice was gentle and soothing, but it revealed a force that could not be negotiated, making people want to obey unconsciously.

Jiang Ying raised her hand, which was still shaking unconsciously. She took the silver hairpin with cloud and phoenix pattern tremblingly, and her hand shook several times, almost dropping the hairpin to the ground.

"Since the princess doesn't want me to do it, then I'll trouble you to do it yourself."

Jiang Ying had been looking down at the silver hairpin, but now she looked up blankly again, with fear and shock in her eyes, and she looked at Xie Yongwei almost in a flattering manner.

"Then..." She asked tentatively, her voice unconsciously flattering, "Miss Xie, do you have any ideas that I can help you with?"

Xie Yongwei raised the pearl hairpin in her hand, raised it to her face, and slashed it hard across her face.

"Do you understand?"

The girl had a peaceful smile on her lips, like a white magnolia waving in the wind in the early morning, facing the morning light, with morning dew, fresh and natural, making people feel pity for her.

Jiang Ying was so shocked that she stopped breathing for a moment.

Xie Yongwei actually wanted her to ruin her own face!

Her throat was extremely hoarse, and Jiang Ying opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

A strong resentment rose from my heart, burning up to my throat and eyes.

Why?

She, Xie Yongwei, was just the daughter of a minister. Today, asking a legitimate princess like her to kneel down and kowtow to her was already giving her face.

She actually wants to go even further!
