Xu Qing'er watched Feng Ran burst into laughter. She approached step by step, like a madwoman.
Feng Ran's eyes were filled with disdain and displeasure.
Feng Ran's actions enraged Xu Qing'er. Xu Qing'er directly grabbed her hair and yanked it backward. She gritted her teeth and said, "Feng Ran, do you think Xuanyuan Heng truly loves you? Do you think the position of regent's consort will ultimately be yours?"
"No, it won't."
"Feng Ran, it's because you still have something Xuanyuan Heng wants."
Feng Ran looked at Xu Qing'er, not even believing her.
Because Xu Qing'er said she still had something Xuanyuan Heng wanted. But now, she had nothing left. What else could Xuanyuan Heng want?
Xu Qing'er looked at Feng Ran, at her look of disbelief, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you must be thinking about what I said, right? You definitely don't believe me, do you?"
"Feng Ran, you are truly pathetic."
"Feng Ran, being deceived, yet still moved to tears."
Feng Ran frowned. She truly didn't want to pay attention to the person in front of her.
"Yes, I won't believe a single word you say. So, you should give up on this idea."
"Moreover, even if you talk until your mouth breaks, I won't believe you."
Xu Qing'er glared fiercely at Feng Ran, wondering why Feng Ran wouldn't fall for it.
"Feng Ran, your father gave that thing to your brother, Feng Jin, before he died."
"Feng Jin is still alive, isn't he?"
Feng Ran looked at Xu Qing'er in surprise, wondering how Xu Qing'er knew about this.
At this moment, the originally calm Feng Ran's face finally showed a crack.
However, she still held back, not speaking, but quietly watching Xu Qing'er, as if waiting to hear what Xu Qing'er would say next.
Xu Qing'er was very anxious at this moment, completely disregarding Feng Ran's thoughts, and blurted out everything.
"Feng Ran, Feng Jin is by Xuanyuan Heng's side."
"Yes, so what?"
Xu Qing'er was stunned. She hadn't expected Feng Ran to respond so easily. She thought Feng Ran wouldn't answer and would remain calm. She didn't expect that this time, Feng Ran would be so calm.
And she even admitted it.
Feng Ran's response disrupted all of Xu Qing'er's plans.
However, she quickly regained her composure and steered the conversation back.
"What happened to Aunt Sheng's death? Do you know why?" Xu Qing'er said with a light laugh.
Feng Ran looked at Xu Qing'er intently. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She recalled that when she fell into the water, the color of the clothes she saw was the same as what Xu Qing'er was wearing.
"You... you... you killed Aunt Sheng."
Feng Ran's eyes turned red as she looked at Xu Qing'er, almost gritting her teeth and questioning, "Why? Why did you kill Aunt Sheng? Aunt Sheng had no enmity with you, why did you kill her?"
After saying this, Feng Ran started to cry, crying uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Xu Qing'er was overjoyed. She laughed heartily. Seeing Feng Ran cry, seeing her in pain, made her feel good.
As long as she found what made Feng Ran unhappy, she would be happy.
Feng Ran deserved to die.
"Xu Qing'er, tell me, why? Why did you kill Aunt Sheng?" Feng Ran rushed to Xu Qing'er, shaking her, forcing her to confess, using almost all her strength.
Seeing this, Xu Qing'er became unusually happy. She directly pushed Feng Ran away, patted her clothes with a handkerchief, and said coldly, "It was Xuanyuan Heng. He said that person was useless and it was best to kill her."
"I did it on Xuanyuan Heng's orders."
Feng Ran looked at what Xu Qing'er said, but she was somewhat doubtful.
She wouldn't believe a word he said.
Xu Qing'er became somewhat angry and embarrassed. She had believed her just now, so why didn't she believe her now?
Xu Qing'er gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Xu Qing'er took out a prepared letter from her embrace and handed it directly to Feng Ran, saying, "Look for yourself. After you read it, you will know if what I said is true or false."
"However, Feng Ran, don't blame me for showing you this later."
Feng Ran took the letter, but she didn't even have the courage to open it.
Xu Qing'er burst into laughter, taunting, "What's wrong? Scared?"
"Are you afraid of more frightening things inside?"
Listening to Xu Qing'er's words, Feng Ran looked at the person in front of her with a calm expression, and then Feng Ran said, "I'll read it."
However, after Feng Ran finished reading, she regretted it.
"Kill without mercy."
Feng Ran's whole body went limp, collapsing onto the ground. She looked at the contents of the letter. It turned out that everyone in Chunmanyuan had already been executed by Xuanyuan Heng. They were all given the harshest punishment.
Heh, and she thought those people were still alive.
It turned out that all of them had been killed because of her.
It turned out Xuanyuan Heng was afraid that her past in Chunmanyuan would be revealed, and he wanted to erase all traces of her time there.
Feng Ran smiled, laughing rather loudly. It turned out all her happiness was exchanged for the lives of those people.
It turned out that she had unknowingly become an executioner.
Seeing Feng Ran so despondent, Xu Qing'er was exceptionally happy, but for Xu Qing'er, this was far from enough. She wanted much more.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. I wonder if Xuanyuan Heng told you about it?" Xu Qing'er said, pretending to know nothing.
Feng Ran looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt a bad premonition.
She even thought that Xu Qing'er never said anything good.
She wondered if she should listen? If she continued listening, what would she have to face next?
"What's wrong? Hesitating?" Xu Qing'er said sarcastically, "Feng Ran, are you scared now?"
"Scared already?"
"Feng Ran, what happens next has a great deal to do with you. If you don't want to hear it, then I won't say it."
"However, I think you might regret it."
Feng Ran looked at Xu Qing'er and said coldly, "Xu Qing'er, tell me. No matter what you say, I can accept it. There is nothing now that I cannot accept."
"I have already experienced too much."
"I am tired, and I even want to escape from here."
"It's just that I never had the opportunity."
