Chapter 12: Whoever is crazier than her will break her legs!

There was a hint of coldness in Duan Yingning's eyes as she quietly crossed over the wall and returned to the Jingxin Courtyard.

Fortunately, Aunt Li had been "loyally performing her duties" and had been standing outside the Tuanbao gate.

This kid was too tired from moving house this afternoon, so he slept deeply tonight. Duan Baoyu roared like a water buffalo, but it didn't wake him up.

"Second Miss."

Seeing Duan Yingning coming back, Aunt Li's old face was filled with tension. "Everything went smoothly?"

"Are you okay?"

"Not very smoothly."

Duan Yingning shook her head.

Then the door of the Jingxin Courtyard was knocked loudly, the "bang, bang, bang" sound was particularly loud in the silent night, and it was obvious that the person outside had used a lot of force.

Aunt Li was startled, "Second Miss..."

"Go and open the door."

Duan Yingning raised her chin.

Seeing Aunt Li coming down from the attic, she also slowly walked down.

The knocking on the door continued, and the whole courtyard gate looked like it was about to collapse... Duan Yingning's face darkened.

Aunt Li had just opened the door when the person outside slapped her, "You old thing! Are you deaf? Why did it take you so long to open the door?!"

Aunt Li was caught off guard and received a heavy slap on her face.

She was almost knocked down to the ground.

Looking closely, the person who slapped her was Yan Auntie, who was by the side of Mrs. Zhou.

Behind Yan Auntie were several maids, and they all looked menacing...

Aunt Li dared to be angry but dared not utter a word, she could only bear it with a grievance and whispered, "Auntie Yan, how was I supposed to know that you would come in the middle of the night?"

"Are you saying I came at the wrong time?"

Yan Auntie snorted, her sharp eyes looking behind her.

She clearly saw Duan Yingning, but still asked, "Where is Second Miss?"

Huh... she used her connections to act arrogantly!

Duan Yingning approached and said to Aunt Li, "Fight back."

"Miss..."

Aunt Li dare not and looked at her cautiously.

Duan Yingning berated her, "Useless! Even a dog knows to fight back when it's attacked, but you're so spineless?"

"In my presence, there is no place for such incompetence."

Aunt Li was kicked to the ground and when she got up, she looked even more pitiful.

"Miss, she is under Madam's command."

"What about being under Madam's command? Can't I punish her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Yingning slapped Yan Auntie hard in the face, with a crisp sound that made Aunt Li shiver and quickly stand up straight.

The force of this slap was not small, and Yan Auntie was knocked to the ground!

The maids behind her struggled to help her up, and Yan Auntie's face was already swollen and red.

She held her face, in pain and struggling to take in a breath!

Yan Auntie tried to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and two bloody teeth flew out.

"What kind of thing! How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!"

In the future, in this Marquis's residence, Duan Yingning would be the most domineering person.

If anyone dared to be even more arrogant than her, she would break their legs!

Duan Yingning looked down at Yan Auntie, "Do you even realize it's the middle of the night? If you find your life too long, just tell me, and I'll let you live a few years less!"

Even in the darkness, Duan Yingning's eyes were cold and terrifying.

The imposing aura emanating from her made Yan Auntie shiver with fear.

This Second Miss, except for today in the main hall, she had scarcely been seen in these years!

But even in the main hall, the Second Miss had managed to intimidate the Lady, and the Third Miss had been bullied... even in front of the Master, she had not been treated well!

She, a mere servant, dared not to continue to be so arrogant.

After being beaten, Yan Auntie stammered, "Second Miss, our Lady... our Lady wants to see you in Qingyun Courtyard, she said she has something to ask you!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Duan Yingning snorted.

She noticed Aunt Li standing by the side, looking at her with admiration...

"Incompetent old thing! If you continue to be bullied like this in the future, then get out! Keeping someone like you who is useless by my side, it's better to keep a dog!"

"Yes, Miss."

Aunt Li lowered her head, feeling very emotional.

Her Miss was so powerful!

She would be her support in the future!

Aunt Li looked at Duan Yingning's figure excitedly.

Entering the Qingyun Courtyard, there were two groups of servants standing outside. The steward, Wang Bo, was asking about whether there were any black-clad individuals lurking in Qingyun Courtyard tonight.

As expected, the servants all feigned ignorance when asked.

Wang Bo saw Duan Yingning and his eyes flashed slightly, then nodded and greeted her respectfully, "Second Miss, the Lady is waiting inside."

Duan Yingning ignored him and went straight into the room.

Little did she know that as soon as she entered, a chicken feather duster came flying towards her.

She slightly dodged it.

"You scoundrel! How dare you not kneel?!"

Madam Zhou scolded her straightaway, "What have you done to your younger sister? You are her sister, how could you do this?!"

Duan Yingning naturally did not kneel.

She looked coldly at Madam Zhou and the shivering Duan Qingyun in her arms.

"Do I even know what I did to make mother so angry?"

"Don't you have the nerve to ask?"

Madam Zhou was so angry that her facial features were distorted!

It seems that before she came over, Duan Qingyun instigated something again, which made Mrs. Zhou so angry!

"Someone entered your third sister's room tonight. Did you let them in? Did you arrange for them to come in?"

Mrs. Zhou was furious and didn't wait for her to answer before she started scolding, "How could you be so heartless? Qingyun is your own younger sister!"

She didn't even give her a chance to explain and just jumped to conclusions?

Duan Yingning sneered, "What does it have to do with me if someone entered your third sister's room?"

"Could it be that I can enter Qingyun Garden and bring someone in directly? I live in Jingxin Courtyard, not Qingyun Garden."

She gave Duan Qingyun a cold glance.

That look made her tremble again, and she clung tightly to Mrs. Zhou, looking like a victim.

"Furthermore, how can you be sure that the person isn't someone your third sister brought in herself?"

"Are you implying that your third sister sought excitement and brought in four strangers to bully her?!"

"I didn't say that. If Mother insists on thinking that way, I can't do anything about it."

Seeking excitement...

Mrs. Zhou sure knows a lot!

"You good-for-nothing!"

"Mother, do you only know how to say these few words over and over again? Do you want me to teach you a few more?"

Duan Yingning leaned on the table with her arms crossed, looking at her with a smirk.

Mrs. Zhou was completely infuriated!

But she was not good with words and couldn't come up with a retort.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou turning red with anger, Duan Yingning raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "If Mother is convinced that it was me, can she provide evidence? If not, it's slander."

Of course, Mrs. Zhou couldn't provide any evidence!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Duan Qingyun gathered her courage and spoke up, "I... I have evidence!"
