The Wife I Picked Up Is Too Fierce

Chapter 599: Tried to be Clever but End Up with Egg on One’s Face

“Ah!” Long Yuning, who was in the midst of striking a pose, let out a deafening scream. Although she was not directly hit by the crystal lamp, she was hit by the various glass tiles that were splattered onto the ground by the crystal lamp. Bloody wounds instantly appeared all over Long Yuning’s body, especially on her well-maintained pretty face. Dark red blood dripped down her chin.

Actually, her dance was not finished, but they could only be forced to stop after such a thing happened. Under Xing Yue’s command, a few royal guards hurriedly rushed into the field and took away the injured dancers for treatment. Fortunately, there was no one below the crystal lamp. Otherwise, it would be enough to kill anyone with the weight of the crystal lamp, which was nearly two meters in diameter.

Imperial Concubine Anna sighed in her heart as she looked at the chaotic scene. The next time she held a banquet, she had to choose a good day. This banquet was filled with twists and turns, and all sorts of things happened one after another. Most importantly, she could tell from the conversation between Feng Qing and Xie Jiuhan that her little master seemed to be unhappy again!

…

A perfectly fine crystal lamp was shattered everywhere. Many guests who were closer were affected. The unluckiest guest had one eye pierced by the flying glass. Although Xie Jiuhan’s flying knife had interrupted the performance and injured many innocent people, when Feng Qing saw Long Yuning’s pale face and shocked expression, she was happy internally. It wasn’t because she had become evil or anything, but she had been bullied enough by Xie Yuhuan and Long Yuning all these years. She had said these things to Xie Jiuhan, so the man had always been holding back his anger too.

Xie Jiuhan respected Xie Yuhuan very much from the bottom of his heart, but he had never spoiled his little aunt. Especially regarding Feng Qing, the man would not yield an inch. He would never allow Feng Qing to be hurt or wronged. Otherwise, it would be his incompetence as a husband.

“Hmph, she’s lucky.” A voice filled with killing intent came from behind the man’s mask as he saw that Long Yuning had escaped a calamity. Clearly, the man was very disappointed that he did not directly smash Long Yuning into a meat patty.

At this moment, a tall, beautiful middle-aged woman with white hair rushed to Long Yuning’s side without a care. She asked nervously, “Yuning, how are you?”

Feng Qing recognized her at a glance when she saw the middle-aged woman. It was Long Yuning’s new dance teacher, Meng Xiaodong. Feng Qing curled her lips in disdain when she saw Meng Xiaodong’s nervous expression. It looked like she was very concerned about Long Yuning.

Meng Xiaodong’s eyes were filled with heartache as she looked at Long Yuning’s face that was covered in blood. In the current society, if one wants to be a qualified dancer, not only should they have high dancing skills, but they need to have a beautiful face too, especially for the female dancers. Their pleasing faces would add points to the dance performance.

Meng Xiaodong hurriedly used a thick stack of tissues to cover the wound on Long Yuning’s face. The wound on her cheek that was broken by the glass was very deep. Blood kept flowing out and quickly dyed the tissues red.

Imperial Concubine Anna stood up and said, “Call the royal medical department to treat their wounds.”

Meng Xiaodong pulled Long Yuning’s arm and wanted to walk out after hearing Imperial Concubine Anna’s words. However, Long Yuning stood on the spot without moving. She was holding the towel on her face and looking at Feng Qing with hatred in her eyes.

Feng Qing retracted her gaze and turned to look at Imperial Concubine Anna. “Your Highness, I’m really sorry for affecting the banquet and injuring so many innocent people.”

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Anna smiled bitterly in her heart. She already knew what was going on the moment Xie Jiuhan attacked. In the end, she found out that Xie Jiuhan and Feng Qing were not on good terms with Long Yuning. Xie Jiuhan even wanted to kill her. It made her curious as to how Long Yuning survived until now when she was being targeted by him, the King of Killers.

She understood what it means by trying to be clever but ending up with an egg on her face. It was exactly depicting this situation. She thought that Long Yuning and Xie Jiuhan had some ties, and Feng Qing was Xie Jiuhan’s wife. Therefore, Feng Qing and Long Yuning should have a good relationship. Hence, she specially invited the Sun dance troupe to the palace to perform so that she could please Feng Qing and let Feng Qing have the surprise of seeing her relatives and friends in a foreign country. She didn’t expect that the surprise would turn into a shock.

Imperial Concubine Anna wanted to get someone to chase Long Yuning out of the palace so that she wouldn’t affect her little master’s mood. However, she was very curious about the grudge her little master had with Long Yuning that made Xie Jiuhan want to kill Long Yuning personally.
