The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"Snapped!"

Shen Qingyan slapped Honglian hard, knocking her to the ground.

"How dare you let me have an affair with a man outside of your family? You are so brave!"

Honglian crawled up in a panic, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He was in a panic, but he still held his mouth hard.

"Princess, you clearly just..."

"Snapped!"

Shen Qingyan slapped her again, making the slap marks on both sides of Honglian's face instantly symmetrical.

"What happened before? Before was before, and now is now. If you hadn't deliberately bewitched me, would I have fallen for your trick and colluded with Gu Chen'an?"

Outside the door, Zhiqing listened to the noise in the room and felt a little worried.

"Is the princess okay?" He said as he was about to push the door open.

Qingmei stopped her and whispered, "It's just dealing with a maid. The princess can handle it."

Zhiqing met Qingmei's firm and calm eyes, and suddenly understood why she had Shen Qingyan's full trust.

Because she trusts and is loyal to Shen Qingyan enough.

Thinking of this, Zhiqing slowly withdrew his foot.

Inside the room, Honglian covered her face and struggled to get up from the ground.

"My Lady Princess, I know I was wrong..."

Shen Qingyan glared at her and said coldly, "What's wrong?"

Honglian rolled her eyes and said smartly, "It was my fault for telling this matter. If my identity is exposed, it will implicate you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

Shen Qingyan chuckled, and Honglian immediately felt that she had found the right direction. She quickly added, "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely serve as a link between you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and will never make the same mistake again."

Shen Qingyan nodded, looking very much in agreement, and said gently: "Don't worry, you will never have this opportunity in your life."

Before Honglian could react, Shen Qingyan raised her voice and said, "Qingmei."

Qingmei immediately pushed the door open and said respectfully, "What do you want, Princess?"

"Honglian has deceived me into colluding with a man outside her family. She is a traitor and has committed treason. I will beat her to death as a warning to others."

Qingmei immediately agreed, and then called Zhiqing and Zhiyu to drag the man out.

Honglian's face changed drastically and she immediately begged for mercy loudly.

"My Lady Princess, I know I am wrong, please forgive me!"

In fact, she had no idea what was wrong, and she had no idea about the changes that had taken place between Gu Chenan and Shen Qingyan. She thought that she was the one planted by Gu Chenan, and was even shocked that Shen Qingyan was not afraid of angering Gu Chenan by doing this?

Seeing Zhiqing and Zhiyu pressing her down on the bench and two servants raising wooden sticks to beat her, Honglian made one last struggle.

"Princess, if you beat me to death, how will you explain to His Royal Highness the Prince? I am..."

Before he could finish his words, Qingmei quickly stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.

"You slut, how dare you speak nonsense and slander the princess? Don't pollute the princess' ears. Beat me!"

"Yes!"

Shen Qingyan walked out of the door and looked at Honglian coldly, staring at her unwillingly and screaming with sobs.

"Zhiqing Zhiyu, go call all the servants in Yuxuan Courtyard over here and let them see what happens when they betray their master."

"Yes."

Soon, all the servants of Yuxuan Courtyard arrived. They watched Honglian being beaten until her body was covered in blood and flesh, until she died. They were all terrified and dared not say a word.

Shen Qingyan remained calm from beginning to end, until Honglian's body was carried away, then she slowly spoke.

"Before, I was confused and bewitched by Honglian. Now she has been executed. You have seen it. I don't want such a black sheep to appear in the palace again, otherwise her end will definitely not be better than Honglian's."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

Shen Qingyan's tone was cold, and her voice was like the frost in December, which made people feel cold all over.

"Listen clearly."

After establishing her authority, Shen Qingyan asked everyone to leave and disposed of the body.

The body was carried and paraded around in front of everyone in the mansion before being thrown into a mass grave.

This matter soon reached Gu Beihuai's ears.

"Your Highness, it seems that the princess is determined to sever her relationship with Prince Chen, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to get rid of the people Prince Chen had planted."

The one who spoke was Shufeng. After being punished, he persevered and returned to Gu Beihuai.

Gu Beihuai glanced at him coldly, his eyes deep.

"What if she did this on purpose for me to see? Do you still think so?"

Shuo Feng knew he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said, "I just hope that you and the princess can love each other and grow old together."

Gu Beihuai ignored him.

Shuofeng touched his nose embarrassedly and stopped flattering, otherwise he would end up hitting the horse's leg.

The next day, Shen Qingyan got up early.

I have something important to do today, so I have to go back to the Shen Mansion.

The three-day deadline has expired, and it's time to go and get back my mother's dowry.

This time, Shen Qingyan specifically asked someone to talk to Gu Beihuai, but he didn't seem to have any intention of going with her.

Although Shen Qingyan was a little disappointed, she didn't want Gu Beihuai to support her unconditionally every time, so she just took Qingmei to the Shen Mansion.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Shen's mansion, someone came forward attentively to lead the horse.

All the servants in the Shen residence had a fawning smile on their faces and bowed respectfully to Shen Qingyan.

"See the princess."

"Princess, please come this way. The old lady and other ladies have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Qingyan looked at their fake faces expressionlessly. When she thought about having to face several more of them, she felt nauseous.

The main hall was silent.

The old lady, Qin Fenglan and Shen Yunjiao, as well as the women from the second and third rooms, had all arrived, each ready for battle.

Shen Zhidie was a little dissatisfied and muttered quietly: "Isn't it just that Shen Qingyan is coming back? Why are you acting like you are facing a great enemy?"

Feng Huirou gently pulled her, signaling her not to talk too much.

Shen Zhidie pulled her hand back and snorted nonchalantly.

Old Madam Shen looked at her daughters-in-law and granddaughters below with a serious face and reminded them again.

"When Shen Qingyan comes later, we must not provoke her. We must persuade her with emotion and reason. Only in this way can we achieve our goal. Do you remember everything?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion may seem prosperous, but in fact, it can't even afford the money for a sword. If Shen Pinghe hadn't taken out his own private money that day, he would have been embarrassed in the street.

Therefore, they simply could not afford Chu Qingyue's dowry, as most of it had been squandered by Qin Fenglan and her daughter over the years.

Although Old Madam Shen was very disappointed with their children, she still stood on the side of Qin Fenglan and her daughter in her heart and could only help them find a solution.

Qin Fenglan immediately smiled respectfully and said, "Don't worry, old lady, we have all remembered it."

Shen Yunjiao also responded obediently, "Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely talk to my sister."

Only then did Old Madam Shen nod with satisfaction.

Not long after, Shen Qingyan stepped into the door.

Except for Madam Shen, everyone stood up and saluted, whether they were willing or not.

Shen Qingyan looked indifferent and had no feelings towards their false flattery.

Without waiting for her to stand up, Qin Fenglan stood up, walked over, and grabbed Shen Qingyan's hand.
