With a faint smile on her lips, Jing Linyao turned to say to Madam Jing, “Madam should accompany Youngest Sister more when you have the time and urge her to mellow this temper of hers.”
“The people outside are not our own family. As her eldest sister, I can accommodate and yield to her on all matters, but how about outsiders? Such as that crown prince consort, would she let off Youngest Sister?”
“Madam does not understand how to discipline Youngest Sister.” Jing Linyao curled her lips into a sneer. “After leaving the tribe, there naturally will be people to help you discipline her. Do you not agree?”
Madam Jing was so incensed that her pretty face flushed red.
“The Chief has arrived!” This announcement cut off the conversation inside the yurt.
Jing Minyao hit the bed angrily and shouted toward her dad, the chief, who was striding inside quickly. “Daddy, Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister is bullying me and my mom again!”
The chief of the Pangu Tribe, Jing You, was over seventy, but he still had a vigorous body. He walked swifty, leaving behind a breeze in his wake.
Upon entering, he couldn’t resist wrinkling his brows at his eldest daughter, Jing Linyao. “Why are you here?”
Jing Linyao scoffed inwardly, but she showed an agreeable smile on the surface. “Father, Youngest Sister has finally woken up after the Soul-Gathering Bell spent more than ten days gathering Youngest Sister’s soul. However, her body is still extremely frail. As her eldest sister, I naturally have to come visit.”
“However, Youngest Sister has always harbored a misunderstanding toward me.” Jing Minyao said with a smile, “I did not say anything much. I only told Madam that she should properly discipline Youngest Sister! Yet Youngest Sister actually says that I am bullying her? Father, this matter should be considered a lesson to learn from! If Minmin continues to be so overly arrogant, she will encounter someone she shouldn’t offend again like this time. It’ll be too late to do anything then.”
“You shut up!” w.a.n.g Limeng yelled furiously.
This woman was cursing her daughter again and again. Did she want her Minmin to die another time?
Jing Linyao looked guilelessly at Madam Jing, w.a.n.g Limeng. She then smiled as she turned to look at the chief, Jing Tou, who was looking at her meaningfully with profound eyes.
“If there isn’t anything, you can go back first,” Chief Jing ordered coldly. There was no fatherly warmth in his gaze toward Princess Jing.
Jing Linyao nodded obediently and bowed to Chief Jing. “Daughter will be excusing herself first.”
“My lord.” Just as Jing Linyao stepped out of the yurt, she could hear Madam Jing sob heart-renderingly, “Look at her Miss High and Mighty att.i.tude! She clearly doesn’t respect me at all!”
“Dad! Jing Linyao harmed me, it’s Jing Linyao that woman who harmed me! Dad, I want to kill her, I want to kill… ugh, cough, cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough!!” Jing Minyao’s body started spasming violently all over.
This freaked out her mother, Madam Jing. She hastily rushed up to hug her daughter and wailed, “Minmin, Minmin ah! You must not get agitated! Did you not hear what our tribe’s witch doctor say? In the 15 days after using the soul-gathering bell, you have to maintain a calm mood! You must not get overly emotional! Otherwise, even if the soul-gathering is successful, your brain will suffer from after-effects!”
“I cannot calm down my emotions!” Jing Minyao screeched, “Dad, kill Jing Minyao for me! Kill her! She was the one who harmed me, it was her! It must have been her who let out the news about Crown Prince Mo’s consort. It was her who lured me step by step to provoke that b*tch!”
“AH, AHHH!!” Jing Minyao screamed on her bed with a contorted expression.
