Flip the table! The reborn villainous woman takes down her entire family and seizes her life.

Chapter 9 Punishing Diao Nu

But the servants also had their own considerations.

Everyone knows that the eldest daughter is not favored, and neither is the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

But the servants dared not disobey her, after all, she was the legitimate daughter.

Therefore, he did not let go of the struggling maid, Ye Lan.

"Young Miss..." Everyone looked on with questioning expressions, unsure of what to do with Ye Lan.

Jiang Zhi approached Ye Lan step by step, grabbed her neck, and smirked.

“A slave should know what loyalty is, and even more so, what respect and humility are.”

Ye Lan was always arrogant in front of Jiang Zhi, and had no idea what respect or hierarchy meant.

As night fell, she caught a glimpse of Twilight and screamed, "Sister Twilight, quick! Help me! The young lady has gone mad! She broke my hand and had the servants arrest me! Go tell my mother!"

Jiang stopped turning around.

Twilight walked in from outside the door; she had returned alone.

Jiang Zhi scrutinized the person who was the most hidden among them.

In her past life, she didn't know until her death that Twilight, who had always cared about her, was also Jiang Luan's man, and even someone sent into the mansion by Madam Liu specifically to keep an eye on her.

Whenever she was hurt or injured, Twilight would always offer words of concern and comfort, which made her trust Twilight more and more.

Twilight was dressed in the formal attire of a head maid, looking neat and tidy, even more presentable than Jiang Zhi.

She looked at Ye Lan, who was being forced to kneel by the servants, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Miss, what's going on? What did Ye Lan do wrong? Mu Guang can just punish her, why go to such lengths?"

Such gentleness and consideration.

No wonder, in her previous life, she didn't realize that Twilight was Jiang Luan's person for so long.

Jiang Zhi chuckled softly, "Twilight, how many years have you been by my side?"

Twilight was a little surprised. What was wrong with Jiang Zhi today? Why did she suddenly ask her this?

She still answered respectfully, "It has been twelve years, Miss. I have been serving you since you were five years old."

"Yes, twelve years. How many twelve-year periods does a person have in their lifetime?"

Jiang Zhi scanned Twilight's face from head to toe.

For twelve years, she treated her with genuine sincerity and truly regarded her as family. She said she would always be by Jiang Zhi's side, and Twilight knew all of her secrets.

Twilight was a little scared by her gaze, but she still kept her head down and let her mistress look at her.

"Nightfall, do you see? Twilight understands hierarchy better than you do."

Jiang Zhi suddenly changed the subject and looked at Ye Lan, who was kneeling on the ground.

Ye Lan's face darkened with anger, and in a fit of rage, she blurted out, "Do you really think she's kind to you? She's like me; we're both the Second Miss's people!"

After the words left his mouth, Ye Lan realized he had said the wrong thing and looked at Mu Guang in a panic.

Twilight's expression went from unnatural to extremely unnatural, and she unconsciously looked up at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi is indecisive and stupid; she probably doesn't understand what she means.

When she looked up, she met Jiang Zhi's gaze, as if he had already seen through her. She quickly looked away, not daring to look again.

Jiang Zhi looked at the seemingly concerned expression on Mu Guang Xiuli's small face and almost burst out laughing. She must be having a hard time pretending, right?

"Twilight, is what Nightfall said true?"

Jiang Zhi lifted Mu Guang's chin, forcing her to look at him.

She wanted to see the most deceptive person, eager to admit whose dog she was!

She wants to see her abandoned by her master!

Thinking about this, she couldn't wait any longer.

Si Dong swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Miss, I swear to heaven that I have no ulterior motives."

"Swear to God?"

Jiang Zhi almost lost control of her expression.

What oaths? They're all bullshit!

Only last words are truly beautiful.

"I knew it, how could Twilight betray me?"

Jiang Zhi released Mu Guang's chin, stepped on Ye Lan's hand, and crushed it hard, completely ignoring Ye Lan's painful screams.

"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!"

Twilight was startled by the cruelty Jiang Zhi displayed at that moment.

what's up?

Jiang Zhi should be timid and indecisive; that's how she should be.

Twilight frowned involuntarily as she pleaded for her, "Miss, Ye Lan already knows she was wrong, please forgive her."

"Her mother only has one daughter. What will her mother do if something happens to her?"

The way she's saying this makes it seem like the master is being unreasonable, even though it was clearly the wicked servant who bullied her.

Jiang Zhi curled her lips into a smile.

Twilight, indeed, is a master of flattery and deception.

When Twilight saw Jiang Zhi smile slightly, she thought he had agreed and breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly stood up.

Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Zhi suddenly spoke up, "Ye Lan, this wicked servant has bullied his master, repeatedly beaten me, and stolen my food. He shall be punished with beatings to death."

Beaten to death...

Twilight's legs went weak, she took two steps back, and almost fell!

Jiang Zhi has never killed anyone, so how could he so casually utter the words "beat to death"?

After he finished speaking, the servants around him all looked at Jiang Zhi with surprise.

"Please spare me, young lady! I will never dare to do it again. From now on, whatever you say will be done. If you want the stars in the sky, I will pluck the moon for you! Please, please let me go!"

Ye Lan cried uncontrollably, never expecting to be beaten to death, especially by order of Jiang Zhi.

"Twilight, are you satisfied?" Jiang Zhi glanced at Ye Lan indifferently, then smiled slightly at Twilight.

When Twilight saw Jiang Zhi's smile, the upturned corners of his lips, and the white teeth he revealed, the word "madman" suddenly came to mind. Jiang Zhi must be insane.

Twilight felt short of breath, her lips turned purple, but she still didn't dare to speak.

"Still not satisfied." Jiang Zhi frowned and shook his head, feigning helplessness.

"Twilight, who sheltered the wicked servant and repeatedly lured the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan into committing crimes, was punished with twenty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."

Jiang Zhi turned to look at Twilight, "Are you satisfied now?"

Twilight's expression suddenly froze.

Twilight took a step back, then knelt down with a thud and kowtowed: "Young Miss, please believe me! Twilight has always been Young Miss's person. Please forgive me for the sake of the time when I was beaten by Granny Zhang while protecting you in Liangzhou!"

Twilight's tears flowed like beads from a broken string, making one's heart ache.

Jiang Zhi shouted to the servants below, "I am the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Anyone who offends me will be beaten to death!"

The servants immediately tied Yelan to the stool used for torture.

A command was given at random.

The sound of the board hitting flesh hard echoed incessantly.

After letting out a few miserable screams in the dead of night, it died.

A servant probed her nose and stepped forward to Jiang Zhi, saying, "Young Miss, she's dead."

“Drag him out and burn him,” Jiang Zhi said without hesitation.

"Yes!"

Twilight's face turned deathly pale!

As night fell, he was indeed beaten to death on the spot.

"Oh right, and you too."

"continue!"

Jiang Zhi's tone was extremely cold.

"Miss!" Wu Shi's panting voice interrupted Jiang Zhi.

Upon seeing the courtyard scene at noon, I couldn't help but take a step back.

"What's the matter?"

Only then did Wu Shi realize what was happening and replied, "Miss, Granny Wu from Liu Xiaoniang's courtyard wants you to go to the front hall."

"Okay, I know."

Jiang Zhi nodded, signaling his servants to continue.
