Hui ignored Chunlan and the other woman, and instead leaned close to Liuyan's pained face, saying, "You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now!"

"Ugh, ugh, ah—!"

If Hui hadn't been injured, she could have completely crushed Liu Yan's delicate hand with her own physical strength and a little bit of internal energy.

However, Hui is currently injured and cannot do such a simple and brutal thing. Crushing is not an option, but breaking is possible.

Hui directly bent Liu Yan's hand in the opposite direction, like breaking a tree branch, and began to rotate the palm that was holding Liu Yan's arm.

Liu Yan's forearm began to twist in the opposite direction.

Liu Yan was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and she had to kneel down to relieve the twisted arc of her arm.

However, the angle of distortion is getting larger and larger!

Until the hand bones could no longer withstand the exaggerated angle.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out.

"Ah! Ouch—."

Almost simultaneously, Liu Yan let out a painful howl, then fainted and collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Hui Cai released her daughter's arm and let it fall to the ground.

As everyone looked, they could clearly see that Liu Yan's forearm and elbow, which were connected to the back of her arm, were loosely slack, with only some skin and flesh connecting them to the bone.

what!what!

Chunlan and Qiuju were so frightened that they fell to the ground and frantically crawled backward. They were terrified by the scene and just wanted to get as far away from there as possible.

Hui ignored them and instead looked at Liu Yan, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Hui found that the crisp sound she heard just now didn't feel cruel at all; instead, it gave her a sense of pleasure.

Especially looking at the little heads smoking on the ground, a crazy idea began to brew in his mind.

So, Hui slowly lifted her foot...

"Girl, what are you doing?!" Ziyan and Qiyue only then realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to hug Hui, pulling her back to prevent her from making a grave mistake.

They were just shocked by Hui's fighting power; she broke a person's arm with one hand. How much strength does that take!

However, they quickly realized that Hui was in big trouble!

Although they believed that Hui held a higher position in the prince's heart than Liuyan, this did not mean that Hui could do whatever she wanted, especially since she was the concubine who had served the prince the most in his palace.

Hui's previous decisiveness and brutality had already terrified the two women, but what terrified them even more was that Hui seemed unwilling to end things there, and instead raised her foot, aiming it at Liuyan's head...

Hey Hey hey!

No!

'Is the girl really going to stomp on it?'

No!

They instantly reached a consensus and rushed forward to hug Hui, stopping her crazy actions.

After dragging Hui away from Liuyan's head, the two women began to anxiously lecture her. Ziyan said first, "Miss, look at what you've done! Even if you hate Liuyan, can't you be more patient? Once you win the prince's favor and become a concubine, you can control Liuyan however you want. Why do you have to fight Liuyan to the death now!"

Then Qiyue continued, "Yes, young lady! You have a bright future ahead of you, and there's absolutely no need for you to leave a bad impression on the prince because of Liuyan. Now look what's happened, young lady, you've caused a huge disaster, and who knows how the prince will punish you!"

In their haste, they both overlooked Hui's astonishing fighting prowess.

Listening to her two maids' incessant chatter, Hui sighed helplessly, "You two—sigh, never mind."

After Hui finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the house, leaving Ziyan and Hui looking bewildered.

"Hey? Girl, wait a minute, we're not finished talking yet!" Ziyan and Qiyue called out to Hui as she turned and went back into the house.

"I'm hungry, get me something to eat," Hui's voice came from the inner room.

The two women exchanged a helpless glance, feeling utterly exhausted. Their master was someone who couldn't speak properly, couldn't handle social situations, and didn't even know how to humbly accept advice. Alas, they felt that this new master's future was worrisome!

However, they couldn't ignore Hui's words, so they had no choice but to go and get the food.

Soon, Ziyan and Qiyue served a sumptuous lunch.

After eating and drinking her fill, Hui lay down on her luxurious, classically styled bed and took a nap without even taking off her clothes.

As for Liuyan, who was unconscious outside, she disappeared at some point; she must have been taken away by someone else.

Bored out of her mind, Hui pondered a way to escape. Her only trump card was her cheat code.

If second-rate martial artists can't escape from Xia Yuxuan, what about first-rate ones? Grandmasters? Or even the legendary innate masters!

Hui felt she should wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to encounter a powerful master and die.

As Hui pondered these thoughts, she gradually became drowsy and fell asleep.

······

"Girl! Girl, wake up!"

"Mmm—, I'll sleep a little longer!"

Hui, her eyes still blurry with sleep, mumbled something indistinctly.

"Girl, don't sleep. The prince has sent someone to summon you." The two women gently shook Hui.

Soon, Hui opened her sleepy eyes, rubbed them, and then, with the help of her maid, got out of bed and stretched.

Hui asked, "What is it?"

Ziyan said with a worried look, "Miss, Liu Mama, the head steward of the Prince's mansion, has asked you to go to Zhaochun Palace. She says that the Prince wants to ask you some questions."

"Questioning? What questions?"

“My dear young lady! You’ve forgotten that you broke Miss Liuyan’s arm at noon. The prince is probably going to punish her.”

"Yes, Miss. This afternoon I also heard the maids in other courtyards say that Miss Liuyan's painful screams after she woke up were unbearable to hear, and many girls fainted from fright. The doctor in the manor also said that Miss Liuyan's hand is completely useless. Even if it is healed, it will not be as flexible as before, and she will not be able to lift heavy objects."

As they said this, they gave Hui a strange look.

There was one thing they didn't say: Hui was notorious in the backyard of the Prince's mansion.

Originally, the women in the backyard of the Prince's mansion fought amongst themselves, but they were all civilized people. They were always gentle ladies who used words rather than fists. Even if they did fight, it was just pulling hair or slapping each other. They were not competing with physical strength but with wisdom, which was commonly known as cunning and derogatoryly called intrigue.

However, this newcomer was simply an anomaly. Everyone was tacitly engaging in palace intrigue, deceiving and scheming, but this guy directly took action, and with incredible cruelty. Liu Yan's miserable state still terrifies them. Some women who originally wanted to cause trouble for Hui immediately gave up the idea of ​​going after Hui.

They simply couldn't fathom what kind of vicious woman could personally commit such a cruel act.

Therefore, Hui's Xunyan Pavilion suddenly had far fewer potential troubles.

Ziyan and Qiyue glanced at the dazed Hui and felt relieved: 'It really was our imagination. Our girl looks so simple-minded, how could she possibly think so deeply?'

Hui noticed the look in Ziyan's eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing!" Ziyan and the other woman brushed it off. "It's just that Granny Liu sent people to urge her several times but there was still no sign of the young lady. She has already come to invite her in person and is waiting outside now!"

"Oh, I see! Please pour me a glass of water."

"what?!"

Ziyan and Liuyan were taken aback. Shouldn't they act quickly now so that Granny Liu wouldn't have to wait?

The two women poured water for Hui.

Afterwards, Hui calmly tidied herself up before opening the door.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw an elderly woman in her forties standing straight outside the house.

The woman was past her prime, dressed in a white gown that covered her completely. Her once jet-black hair now showed faint traces of silver from the first frost of autumn, and the beginnings of wrinkles were faintly visible on her face. Her slightly sunken eyes held a pair of deep brown eyes that seemed to be telling a story of her tumultuous past.

When Hui saw Liu Mama for the first time, she frowned, because she discovered that this old and faded Liu Mama was actually a third-rate expert.

Unlike Xia Yuxuan, she didn't have a special technique to conceal the fluctuations in her internal energy. Her crude internal energy circulation was easily detected by any martial artist.

Chapter 206 Hui'er

Hui realized that this so-called Granny Liu was a third-rate martial artist, and whispered to Ziyan, "What's the background of this Granny Liu?"

Ziyan was full of questions, but she still answered truthfully: "Granny Liu is Granny Liu. She is the chief steward in charge of all matters, big and small, in the backyard of the Prince's mansion. Apart from the Prince, Granny Liu is the most powerful person in the backyard."

"Oh, the head steward of the backyard."

Hui mentally ranted: "Using a third-rate martial artist to manage the trash in your harem whose average combat power is close to zero? Are you crazy?"

When Granny Liu saw Hui come out, she bowed respectfully and said, "Since you are ready, Miss, please come with me." She didn't mention at all that she had been waiting for so long.

Hui followed behind Granny Liu, and the group moved along the winding, meandering covered walkways. The surrounding scenery kept changing, with pavilions and terraces and small streams, making one wonder if they were really in a mansion. Everywhere there were all kinds of colorful plants, and upon closer inspection, no two were the same.

They didn't encounter a single man along the way, but rather many women of varying shapes and sizes. Some were still quite young, some were in their prime, some were in their prime, and some still retained their charm... However, without exception, their attire was nothing like that of respectable women, but rather resembled that of seductive courtesans, fully revealing the mysterious nature of women.

When they saw Granny Liu, they all bowed respectfully, and their gazes toward Hui were filled with curiosity, scrutiny, jealousy, and schadenfreude... all sorts of strange and varied expressions.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a magnificent palace with a black nanmu wood plaque hanging above its bright red lacquered gate, bearing the words "Scarlet Smoke Palace" in a flamboyant style, came into view.

There was also a team of about twelve female guards standing in front of the palace. This was a major feature that Hui discovered about the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. There were guards in some key places in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, but they were all female guards. Although these female guards were not very beautiful, they were all full of vigor, and some of them were even Ming Jin practitioners.

Granny Liu led Hui and her group inside, but they entered a side hall instead of the main hall.

Upon entering the side hall, one immediately sees an antique-style desk and tea table at the far end of the room, flanked by several armchairs.

Hui thought she was being told to sit there and wait.

However, the situation was unexpected.

Liu Mama came up to Hui with the same cold expression as before and ordered her directly: "The Prince has instructed that you kneel here and wait, young lady!"

"??"

Hui thought she had misheard and blurted out, "Kneel?! By what right?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's face turned fierce, and she said sternly, "Why should I? No matter which wealthy family the young lady was from before, or what kind of pampered life she lived, once she enters this Prince's mansion, even if she's a dragon, she has to coil up; even if she's a tiger, she has to lie low. Putting aside the fact that the young lady caused a scene in the mansion before, even if she hadn't done anything wrong, if the Prince just wants her to do it, then the young lady must do it! That's the rule!"

After Liu Mama finished speaking, she took two steps forward, ready to personally teach Hui the manners if she didn't know what was good for her.

Ziyan and Qiyue, who were behind Hui, quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Miss, please don't be willful anymore, otherwise the consequences of angering the prince will be very serious."

Hui also saw through Liu Mama's actions. Circumstances forced her to submit, and she reluctantly said, "Fine, I'll kneel."

After saying that, Hui knelt down, but her back was straight and her little head was looking straight ahead, her whole body exuding a sense of defiance.
