Everyone did not even have time to react to what had happened. They only felt that the vital points of their bodies—the webbing between their thumb and forefinger, face, throat, shoulders, neck, chest, and waist—had been pierced by silver needles. They felt a sharp pain, intense numbness, or a piercing itch.
Some lay twitching on the ground. The pain was unbearable and they wailed. Some were hopping forward on stiff limbs, like a marionette. Some laughed hysterically as if someone had hit their laughing hole. They laughed until their faces twisted and tears flowed out.
Madam Qin looked at the chaotic scene in front of her in shock. She felt that the scene was terrifying and strange. She looked at Yun Ran with a thoughtful expression.
"What… what did you do to them?"
Yun Ran gently blew on her fingers. Under the clear sunlight, her jade-like fingertips were holding several silver needles. The tips of the needles were glowing red, blue, pink, and purple.
"Why? Do you want to try it too?"
Madam Qin looked at the bright and gentle smile on Yun Ran's lips and suddenly felt a chill all over. She had an instinctive urge to retreat.
However, her pride as the matriarch restrained this impulse. She raised her head proudly.
"How dare you! How dare you openly commit murder in the Minister's residence! You even used such a sinister method of poisoning! Who taught you that!"
"Sinister?"
Yun Ran's lips curved playfully. "When it comes to being sinister, who can compare to you? You're sinister, vicious, and not particularly good-looking, but you have a pretty good imagination. Where's the old woman?"
Those last few words were like a pot of hot oil poured over Madam Qin's suppressed anger, instantly igniting into flames.
Madam Qin was so angry that she almost lost her mind. She wanted to pounce on Yun Ran and tear her mouth apart.
However, her mind was no longer comparable to an ordinary woman's. She quickly suppressed her anger.
"Lin Wanyue, I've underestimated you. I actually failed to see through your previous disguise."
"Because you're stupid and blind!"
Madam Qin was speechless.
She would endure it! According to the time, Madam Zhen should be here soon. When the time came, she would teach this bitch a lesson!
Yun Ran listened to the hurried footsteps in the distance. Her eyes moved slightly as she glanced lazily at Madam Qin and raised her eyebrows casually.
"Why don't I walk you to the lake so you can get some of that water out of your head?"
Madam Qin was stunned when she heard this. She instantly realized the danger and was hesitating if she should temporarily abandon her image and take a step back. However, Yun Ran was already in front of her and smiled brightly at her.
And then…
Madam Qin was shocked to realize that she was flying. Her body flew towards the lotus pond completely out of her control.
"No! Don't!"
In her panic, Madam Qin couldn't care less about her image and shouted loudly. Then, she crashed into the lotus pond with a splash.
"Ah… help! Help! Somebody… "
As Madam Qin splashed about in the water, her image was gone in a moment.
Yun Ran stood at the edge of the lake, looking down at her with a welcoming smile.
"Is it fun in the water? Do you want me to send someone down to accompany you?"
Without waiting for Madam Qin to answer, she kicked the nearest thug into the lake.
Madam Qin was shocked. At the same time, her face twisted in anger.
"Ah! Little bitch, just you wait. I won't let you off…"
Following a series of hurried footsteps, Madam Zhen arrived with a team of guards. She immediately saw Zhen Fantong, who was lying on the ground with a swollen face.
Madam Zhen's eyes almost popped out. "My god! Which dog dared to beat you up like this?"
When Zhen Fantong saw his savior, he was excited, happy, aggrieved, and in pain. All kinds of emotions intertwined and overwhelmed him. He actually burst into tears.
"Mother, it's her! It's Lin Wanyue! That savage, vulgar, and vicious woman was the one who beat me up."
When Madam Zhen heard this, she glared at Yun Ran and said in an exceptionally dark voice, "Were you the one who injured my son?"
She looked as if she would skin Yun Ran alive the next moment if she dared to say yes. Yun Ran looked indifferent as she casually glanced at the guards Madam Zhen had brought along.
Other than two of them who had barely reached the third-grade of martial arts attainment, most of them were between the sixth and seventh grade.
She could easily beat them.
"I did. Do you want me to demonstrate it to you again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ran moved her toes and a small stone flew out. With a whoosh, it hit Zhen Fantong's head. Without missing a beat, a bump instantly appeared in the middle of his forehead.
Zhen Fantong immediately cried for his parents.
Madam Zhen was furious. She looked at Yun Ran with a dark expression.
"Good! Very good! Do you know what happens to those who are arrogant in front of me?"
"You'd better start caring about what happens to you and that fat bastard."
"Mother… She called me a fat bastard. Mother, teach her a lesson."
"Hold her down and slap her! Slap her hard!"
Madam Zhen ordered with a fierce look in her eyes. The guards looked at one another, and two of them stepped out and walked toward Yun Ran.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, Lin Qianqiu's authoritative voice sounded. Everyone turned to look.
Zhen Fantong was the first to howl, "Uncle! It's all Lin Wanyue's fault! You have to mete out justice!"
Madam Zhen followed closely behind. "Big Brother, look at your good daughter! She's really capable! If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid our son would have died in your residence today!"
"Master, that evil creature is lawless and wants to murder her legitimate mother! Master, you can't indulge her anymore."
Madam Qin, who had just been rescued from the lake, was in a sorry state. She was trembling and looked angry.
As Lin Qianqiu watched this scene, he felt his temples throb and his head hurt!
"Lin Wanyue! You rebellious girl! Kneel down and admit your mistake!"
With Lin Qianqiu's rising anger, a loud shout shocked countless birds into the forest.
