Hearing Yun Xi's words, Yu Xueming was stunned for a moment, then immediately glared at her and said,
"You wouldn't dare!"
Looking at Yu Xueming's confident look, Yun Xi laughed and replied,
"Why wouldn't I? You were just about to kill me. Leaving a few marks on your face isn't too much, is it?"
Yun Xi looked dead serious. The next moment, the dagger was already pressing against Yu Xueming's face. With just a gentle push, a cut would appear on the latter's skin.
Feeling the cold touch of the dagger, Yu Xueming trembled all over. With a panicked look in her eyes, she stared at Yun Xi, not daring to move a muscle.
"No! You can't do this!"
Seeing that Yun Xi wasn't joking, Yu Xueming immediately let out a panicked scream.
"Why not? Give me a reason."
There was a cold glint in Yun Xi's eyes. Her lips curled up slightly as she looked cold and heartless.
In the past, Yun Xi's impression of Yu Xueming was that besides being extremely scheming, she was also very patient. Yu Xueming was deeply in love with Qi Rong, but Qi Rong always treated her coldly. However, Yu Xueming never gave up and never showed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with Qi Rong on her face.
Although Yu Xueming was jealous of Yun Xi, she always deliberately instigated those around Yun Xi to deal with her. It was a typical act of a villain.
Even though Yun Xi disliked Yu Xueming, she had to admit that Yu Xueming was very good at hiding her emotions. Whether it was dissatisfaction or jealousy, she could always hide them under the surface and never let these emotions leave a bad impression on others.
However, this time, Yu Xueming seemed to have lost all her senses. She was like a crazy woman, directly attacking Yun Xi with a knife and even stabbing someone in Yun Xi's yard!
If Yun Xi hadn't become more agile, she might have already died under Yu Xueming's knife!
Right now, Yun Xi was extremely angry. If she hadn't still been rational, she would really have stabbed Yu Xueming.
Pressed firmly to the ground by Yun Xi and facing the risk of disfigurement at any moment, Yu Xueming couldn't give a reason. Her face had turned deathly pale and her body couldn't stop trembling.
"Don't! Please don't scratch my face!"
Right now, Brother Rong already disliked her enough. If she became ugly, she really wouldn't be able to live!
Thinking of this, Yu Xueming burst into tears, completely losing her previous arrogance and fierceness.
Looking at the timid Yu Xueming, Yun Xi sneered,
"You're not afraid of death, but you're afraid of being disfigured?"
Just a short while ago, Yu Xueming was shouting that she didn't care about anything and just wanted to die with Yun Xi and drag her to hell!
But now, she was admitting defeat and crying for mercy. She had no backbone at all and was really contemptible!
"It turns out that you don't really want to die. You just want to gain some benefits for yourself!"
Having her hidden thoughts directly exposed by Yun Xi, Yu Xueming felt extremely embarrassed. Her face turned pale and then red.
She had come to Yun Xi's yard to take revenge on a whim, hoping to teach Yun Xi a heavy lesson. She never thought that things would turn out like this. Not only was she suppressed by Yun Xi, but she also had to beg for mercy.
She felt extremely annoyed and ashamed, and there was also a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart!
Just then, Yu Chengyang pushed open the gate of the South Courtyard. Seeing the situation in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately understood what had happened and quickly walked towards the two of them.
After walking out of the living room, he couldn't find his sister. Seeing that the dagger on the ground was gone, he immediately had a bad feeling.
So, after learning that Yun Xi was living in the South Courtyard, he rushed over in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late. But fortunately, things weren't too bad!
Seeing the dagger in Yun Xi's hand, Yu Chengyang's heart skipped a beat. But after seeing that she had the blunt side of the knife facing his sister, he felt relieved and immediately filled with gratitude.
"Princess, my sister was just temporarily muddled and offended you. Please don't take it to heart!"
"I'll definitely keep an eye on her in the future and won't let her bother you again. Please be merciful!"
Yu Chengyang kept apologizing to Yun Xi, begging her to let his sister go.
Looking at the pleading Yu Chengyang, Yun Xi didn't say a word. Instead, she turned her gaze to Qi Rong behind him.
Seeing Qi Rong looking calm and composed, Yun Xi was immediately filled with anger. She glared at him fiercely.
If it weren't for this guy's misdeeds, why would she have to suffer today?
But he was so calm. When he saw this situation, he didn't even come forward to ask if she was injured or if she needed help.
This was his Prince Xian's Mansion! Didn't he care at all if something happened to her?
Yun Xi was full of complaints. Just as she was thinking like this, Ye Ying walked out from a hidden corner of the yard. She walked up to Qi Rong respectfully and said,
"Your Highness, just now, the Princess's skills were very good. She always had control of the situation and didn't get herself injured. So, Ye Ying didn't come out to help."
Hearing Ye Ying's words, Yun Xi's mouth fell open slightly. She looked stunned.
As if he had already seen through what Yun Xi was thinking, Qi Rong smiled at her and said to Ye Ying,
"Very good. This kind of small matter is just right for her to practice. Otherwise, she's been practicing martial arts every day but would only be good at theory."
Small matter? Just now, she was almost killed by Yu Xueming!
It seemed that he had already instructed Ye Ying to guard in the dark early on, as if he had already guessed that Yu Xueming would come to take revenge on her.
Could it be that the reason why no one came to rescue them even though Yu Zhu and the others had been shouting for help was also because Qi Rong had instructed the guards in advance?
This guy was so hateful!
Thinking of this, Yun Xi immediately stood up from Yu Xueming. She stuffed the dagger in her hand into Yu Chengyang's hand and walked straight towards Qi Rong. She glared at him and said,
"Small matter? You make it sound so easy. One of the maids in my yard was injured. Will you compensate for this loss?"
Wasn't the maid's life a life?
This maid was originally a rough maid in her yard. She never thought that the maid would have the courage to stand in front of Yu Xueming.
After this, she must reward this loyal maid and promote her to her side!
Looking at Yun Xi's angry cheeks, Qi Rong smiled and said,
"Sure. How much do you want this King to compensate?"
Looking at Qi Rong's cheeky expression, Yun Xi was immediately furious. This guy was really pushing his luck!
Since he was giving her a hard time, Yun Xi wasn't polite either. She pointed at Yu Xueming, who had just been helped up by Yu Chengyang on the ground, and said coldly,
"I want you to never allow her to enter the Prince Xian's Mansion again. Otherwise, I'll beat her up every time I see her!"
Just now, Yu Xueming had been shocked by Qi Rong's words about using her as Yun Xi's 'practice target'. After hearing Yun Xi's words, her expression immediately tightened. She stared at Qi Rong fixedly.
She could not care about anything else, but she could never accept Brother Rong's coldness towards her.
"Brother Rong, I know I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again in the future. Don't listen to her!"
Yu Xueming looked at Qi Rong pleadingly, hoping that he wouldn't agree to Yun Xi. However, he didn't even look at her. He just nodded at Yun Xi and said,
"Okay. A deal is a deal!"
Qi Rong's words instantly shattered the last glimmer of hope in Yu Xueming's heart!
