She gave a meaningful smile and ordered the servant without looking back, "Close the door!"
Looking at the smile on her face, Duan Qingyun felt a chill down her spine!
She nervously stepped back, "Duan Yingning, what do you want to do?"
Duan Yingning's eyes gradually turned cold, a hint of cruelty flashing in her eyes, "What do I want to do? Naturally, I want to teach you a lesson and make you understand how to control your mouth!"
With that, she slapped her hard!
With a crisp sound, Duan Qingyun's face was slapped to the side!
She had been pampered since childhood, raised in the palm of the Duan family, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?!
This slap not only hit her face, but also struck at her sense of superiority in front of Duan Yingning over the years!
"Duan Yingning! I'll fight you!"
Duan Qingyun screamed and tried to scratch Duan Yingning's face with her long nails.
But before she could reach her face, Duan Yingning grabbed her wrist, "Duan Qingyun, who gave you the courage to call my son a bastard?"
With a little force, Duan Qingyun screamed in pain!
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to beg for mercy.
Duan Qingyun continued to curse angrily, "Duan Yingning, you unwed mother who gave birth to a bastard, how dare you hit me without reason!"
"I will definitely tell father!"
Seeing that she was unrepentant, Duan Yingning's eyes became even more cruel.
She exerted more force, and with a crack, Duan Qingyun felt a sharp pain in her wrist spreading throughout her body!
"Ah..."
She couldn't bear it any longer and broke down in tears.
"I'll give you two choices."
Duan Yingning said coldly, "One, kneel down and apologize to me. Two, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"
Since she couldn't speak, keeping her tongue was useless!
Duan Yingning was extremely protective of her son.
She could be cursed, but daring to curse her son crossed her bottom line!
Tuanbao was her son born after ten months of pregnancy, and Duan Qingyun had to address him as "Third Aunt". How could this malicious woman dare to insult such a small and adorable child?!
But five years ago, she had done such a cruel thing to her own sister.
No matter how malicious she was, Duan Yingning was not surprised.
"Duan Yingning! Do you want me to kneel and apologize to you? You must be dreaming!"
Duan Qingyun exclaimed.
"In that case, you have made your choice."
Duan Yingning smiled playfully, "Then I'll take your tongue!"
She took out a dagger from her sleeve and played with it in her hand, "Do you want me to cut off your tongue in one go, or do you want me to cut it slowly, bit by bit?"
She unsheathed the dagger, the cold light flashing, reflecting her icy gaze.
It was clearly sharp!
"Do you dare?!"
Duan Qingyun realized she had said something foolish as soon as the words left her mouth.
Just now, Duan Yingning had dared to have someone take away Zhou's family directly, so what couldn't she do to her?
Looking at the tightly closed door, Duan Qingyun began to panic.
"Duan Yingning, don't do anything reckless! Father hasn't returned yet. If he comes back and finds out what you've done, he will definitely punish you severely!"
"If you say what I did was a good thing, why would father punish me?"
Duan Yingning looked at her with a smile.
Duan Qingyun subconsciously stepped back until her back was against the wall, feeling a little safer, "Duan Yingning, did I say something wrong just now?"
"Do you know who the biological father of that bastard is?"
"Since you don't know, then what is he if not a bastard?!"
"The reason why Prince Rong came to break off the engagement must be because he heard about the ugly things you did!"
Back then, she had found two men to humiliate Duan Yingning. Although they had died... Duan Qingyun was convinced that they must have succeeded with Duan Yingning.
Otherwise, how could Duan Tuantuan have been born?!
"I can't face anyone for giving birth to a bastard without knowing who the father is and giving him the Duan family name!"
Duan Qingyun cursed, "You're promiscuous, you're just a slut, you're not worthy of Prince Rong!"
"I'm not worthy, are you worthy?"
Duan Yingning's calmness was terrifying.
For years, she had known that these people had been calling Tuanbao a "bastard" behind her back.
Now, they dared to insult her son to her face...
It seemed that the tiger had not shown its teeth, and they had mistaken her for a sick cat!
The angrier Duan Yingning became, the calmer her face appeared.
"Just now, someone was so eager to offer herself to Prince Rong, but he didn't even want to look at you. So, Duan Qingyun, what are you in Prince Rong's eyes? Not even as good as a slut?"
"You..."
Duan Qingyun was stunned!
She was proud of her beauty and talent, and was one of the top beauties in the capital.
Who dared to insult her like this behind her back in recent years?!
Today, she was actually insulted by Duan Yingning, this despicable person?!
Duan Yingning didn't give her a chance to insult her again. She stepped forward and grabbed her hair, forcing her to look up at her.
The intense pain was unbearable, as if her scalp was being torn off!
Duan Qingyun screamed in pain, looking up at the coldness in her eyes, and finally felt truly afraid!
"Sister, spare me, I was wrong!"
After several provocations, Duan Qingyun immediately changed tactics—she surrendered and softened!
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Duan Yingning, her small face wrinkled in pain, "Sister, I shouldn't have called Tuantuan a bastard, I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have spoken arrogantly to you, please forgive me this time, Sister!"
At this moment, do you know how to cry?
Do you know how to call for Second Sister?
Too late!
Duan Yingning curled her lips, "Duan Qingyun, I didn't expect you to be so good at changing your attitude."
Weren't you fierce and domineering just now?
Even if she surrenders now, it's a pity—she, Duan Yingning, doesn't yield to threats or inducements!
Duan Yingning held a dagger and lightly tapped Duan Qingyun's face, "If this beautiful face is truly ruined... the capital will lose another beauty."
Duan Qingyun's body stiffened.
This despicable person actually wants to ruin her appearance?!
"Second Sister, please... I beg you, Second Sister, I am your own sister, don't be so cruel to me!"
She dared not speak out in anger, and begged bitterly.
"I can't bring myself to do it, after all, I am not as heartless as you. Just as you said, we are sisters."
Even if she wants to ruin her appearance, it's not the right time!
If she really takes action, it won't be as simple as ruining her appearance, she will... destroy her completely!
Duan Yingning's smile was full of meaning.
Not ruining her appearance would be the best outcome.
Duan Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that yielding was effective. This despicable Duan Yingning is as weak and indecisive as ever, and won't amount to anything!
However, she hadn't fully relaxed, when she heard Duan Yingning say, "I've changed my mind, I don't want your tongue."
"What I want... is this!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Duan Yingning's eyes turned fierce, and the dagger in her hand ruthlessly cut down!
