She Holds the World After Being Reborn

In the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, the legitimate young miss, known for her icy demeanor, had transformed overnight. She, who usually regarded no one, woke up to confront anyone she saw with a few harsh words, using her frail body to intimidate so much that no one dared to touch her. Afterwards, this legitimate young miss began taking on retainers, nurturing powerful officials, engaging in commerce, and recruiting troops… Every act so shocking and audacious, it defied the norms and provoked fear in all who spoke of her! Yan Wanqing was seen as an enchantress and a disaster by the people, a thorn in the flesh and a nail in the eye that the ministers wanted desperately removed, an entity everyone shunned as if she were a venomous snake. Only the Crown Prince Mingyue, descending from the divine altar, in the dark, godless alleys, grasped her neck and repeatedly asked her, "Will you marry me or not?"

Chapter 69: A Major Incident Has Occurred, The Backyard Well is Full of Dead Bodies

Yan Hongzhao's eyes were red when she came looking for Yan Wanqing; it was already noon on the second day.

She hugged Yan Wanqing tightly, "Sister, Aunt is missing."

Aunt Song is missing?

Yan Wanqing was stunned, "When did you discover this? How could she be missing, did the gatekeepers see her leave?"

She asked Cong Ge by her side, who shook his head.

Aunt Song always kept a low profile and hardly had any acquaintances outside. Except for checking the shop's accounts at the beginning of the month, she seldom left the house.

Yan Hongzhao had returned very late the previous day, and when she went to Aunt's room this morning, she found the whole place spotless, and when she touched the bed, there was no residual warmth.

"Ruan Tao is also missing." Realizing that something was amiss, Yan Hongzhao immediately chose to consult with Yan Wanqing, who was without her mainstay.

Yan Wanqing patted her head to comfort her, then had Cong Ge quickly send people to search the courtyard.
