In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The envoys from the four countries had all moved into Honglu temple.
Xia Ling met her half-sister.
This was truly a turn of events. Back when she was in Xia country, no matter what happened, Xia Yu's eyes would turn red gently. A group of people would stand up for Xia Yu and criticize her.
And now..
Ying Chun followed beside her. Behind her stood a few stewards from Shang Le Workshop. In front of her stood a row of dancers. In the lead was her gentle and kind stepsister.
"This little girl is quite good-looking. "
Xia Ling went forward and lifted Xia Yu's chin.
There was a small section of fingernail on her hand, painted with a bright golden color. Her fingers were slender and tender, and she pinched Xia Yu's chin. Her hand was really beautiful, with a hint of temptation.
Xia Yu was originally very good-looking, but when Xia Ling's hand pinched her chin, everyone looked at them. They did not think that Xia Ling was bullying her. Instead, their attention fell on Xia Ling's hand.
"Madam Xia" Xia Yu looked up, and her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Xia Ling.
Her eyes were pleading and pitiful.
"How dare you! How dare you look directly at Mrs. Xia? " Ying Chun sensed Xia Ling's malice and immediately went forward. She raised her hand and slapped Xia Ling.
Ying Chun did not hold back. Xia Yu was beaten so badly that she staggered back a few steps.
The stewards of Shang Le Workshop took a deep breath and rushed forward.
"Mrs. Xia, please show mercy. "
Xia Yu was the lead dancer that they had arranged. The four kingdoms banquet was about to begin. If something happened to Xia Yu, where would they find another lead dancer at the last minute?
"Ying Chun, " Xia Ling called out.
Ying Chun nodded.
The stewards heaved a sigh of relief. They were just about to say something nice to ease the atmosphere.
Ying Chun took a step forward and pulled Xia Yu's hand away, slapping her on the other side of her face.
"Xia Ling! " Xia Yu could not help but scream.
Both sides of her face were burning. Xia Yu's face swelled up like a pig's head. It looked like she would not be able to recover within half a month.
She could not see her miserable state, but the stewards of Shang Le Workshop could tell at a glance that she was injured.
Xia Yu's lead dance was ruined... ...
"How dare you call Madam Xia by her name? Who gave you the guts? " Ying Chun slapped her again.
Xia Ling stood there leisurely.
Xia Yu, who was standing among the dancers, finally could not help but show resentment in her eyes.
When she was in Xia Kingdom, she was always well-cared for by a group of people. Xia Ling was like a clown in front of her.
However, in Zhou Kingdom, Xia Ling was just a man's concubine. How could she be so arrogant in front of her?
"How dare you! How dare you hold a grudge against Madam Xia! " Ying Chun went forward and grabbed Xia yu by her collar, slapping her in the face again.
After a few slaps, Xia Yu, whose face was slightly swollen, started bleeding from the side of her lips. She looked like a crazy woman. If she did not take care of her face properly, it would be half disfigured.
How deep was the hatred? How could she slap her face without distinguishing between right and wrong?
After Xia Yu was beaten until she was dizzy and disoriented, Xia Ling smiled at the stewards
"Lock Xia Yu up. Recently, the capital is not very stable. It's better for Shang Le Workshop to be cautious when it comes to people with unknown origins like her. "
The stewards did not dare to speak again.
When Xia Ling opened her mouth, she requested for her to be the lead dancer at the banquet of the four kingdoms.
The stewards were instead relieved.
No matter what Grudges Xia Ling had with Xia Yu, as long as they could hand over their assignments, they did not care who would be the lead dancer.
Moreover, when Xia Ling danced with her figure, it was as fierce as a ball of fire. Previously, Shang Le Workshop had taught her the best, so it was best for her to be the lead dancer.
