Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



However, she did not even manage to touch Ji'er's dress when she was suddenly struck by a swift palm attack.

She was not prepared for it and was sent flying from the attack.

"Ah…"

The woman screamed and crashed against a wall before falling to the floor with a loud thud.

"Lil Qi!" Ji'er ran toward the man who suddenly appeared with great delight.

Chu Qi reached out to hold her in his arms. "Are you alright?"

Ji'er shook her head. "I'm fine."

The woman struggled to get up but there were already numerous sharp swords held against her.

As the man walked closer to her, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief and she roared, "Aren't you busy accompanying the fake princess shopping? What are you doing here?"

"You're too smart for your own good! I knew that you would take the opportunity to sneak into the mansion, so I returned halfway through my journey." Chu Qi shot her a look and said to his nearest guard, "Take her away!"

"Chu Qi, you're really something. Just kill me in front of Long Ji'er. Why would you avoid letting her see this?" Man Qing suddenly broke out with a crazy laugh. "It's just like all those years ago when you slayed my sister. Are you afraid this bloody scene would dirty your pure, innocent little princess? Haha, Chu Qi, you hypocrite. You're a cruel, vicious wolf. You'll suffer a terrible death…"

Ji'er's face darkened and she suddenly shouted an order, "Cut off her tongue!"

Not only did this surprise everyone present, even Chu Qi was taken aback.

However, the dark look on Ji'er's face which was filled with disgust for the woman made Chu Qi realize that Ji'er could not tolerate anyone cursing him.

He was not afraid of being cursed by others, nor did he care. However, it warmed his heart to know that Ji'er was protective of him.

Chu Qi did not think it was a bad trait of hers. Instead, he found Ji'er to be quite adorable this way.

Anyone who made her unhappy deserved death!

He pulled her head into his arms and turned to the nearest personal guard, instructing him coldly, "Do as the princess says."

That woman did not expect Ji'er to be so ruthless and she stared at them blankly. When she realized what had happened, she began struggling wildly while staring viciously at Ji'er. "Long Ji'er, you're evil. It's no wonder your father was so disgusted that he tried to fling you to death the moment you were born. The heavens were unfair not to make sure you were dead. You'll suffer retribu—"

The look on Chu Qi's face changed and the sword in his hand shot out immediately.

The sharp sword went right through the woman's mouth and cut off her sentence.

"Ahh…"

The woman screamed and huge amounts of fresh blood gushed out of her mouth.

Her hands grabbed her throat. She struggled for a while before she collapsed into her pool of blood.

The garden was instantly filled with the scent of blood.

Chu Qi carried Ji'er in his arms and darted a look at the personal guard before leaving.

The personal guard understood what he meant. The guard carried the unconscious Tong'er off to be cared for and later cleaned up the woman's body.

General Chu Qi was always one step ahead!

Even though they were not able to locate any suspicious characters in the mansion the night before, the general had determined that the mastermind behind this must be hidden in some corner of the mansion. He had arranged for someone to pretend to be the princess and go out for a walk in the streets. After that, the general accompanied the person outside in order to convince the hidden mastermind that the mansion was in a low-security state. This way, whoever was behind this would reveal themselves.

As he had expected, the mastermind did appear.

She had thought that the general had arranged for the fake princess to visit the streets to bait her in public and capture her. That was why all of the guards were sent out to protect the fake princess.

This was also why she had dared to appear in front of the princess in such an insolent and brazen manner. However, she had no idea that the general had been waiting for her.
