Lei Qin had no other choice.

She could only hope for a chance to live.

Lei Qin’s words made everyone stunned.

No one had expected that everything was because of the Eldest Princess’s intentions.

Liu Huo’s brows frowned.

“The Eldest Princess? Why would she target Miss?” It perplexed Linghe. They had no fear when they were facing any aristocrats, but who would have expected that the person who had wanted to deal with Ji Fengyan behind the scenes was actually from the royal family?

Why?

Was it because Ji Fengyan had punished the Eldest Princess’s subordinate Su Lingsheng, so the Eldest Princess had wanted to cause her to die with no regard for the precious life of a terminator?

Linghe could not understand.

Ji Fengyan was suddenly enlightened, but she also had the same confusion as Linghe.

“I did not expect that the Princess would be this narrow minded.” Ji Fengyan rubbed her chin and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Lei Qin and the rest were stunned, but they pretended that they had not heard a thing.

Ji Fengyan pondered and then said with a smile, “Thank you for your information.”

But Lei Qin still did not dare to relax.

“I can let Lei family off, but this is the last time. If Lei family creates trouble again, I don’t mind...” Ji Fengyan gestured to the three of them the action of slitting the throat.

Lei Yuanxu’s legs trembled uncontrollably.

Lei Qin was still fine. She knew that this meant that Ji Fengyan had accepted her deal.

“But even though I have let you off, but... if I need anything in the future...” Ji Fengyan smiled.

Lei Qin’s face turned pale and she forced herself to say, “If it is within our means, Lei family will not reject.”

“Very well.” Ji Fengyan was satisfied.

Lei Qin finally heaved a sigh of relief; at least they had survived this time. But at the same time, they had also handed over the fate of Lei family to Ji Fengyan.

The crime of betraying the Eldest Princess was bound to cause them to die. So long as Ji Fengyan had this information that she could use against them, Lei family could only serve her like a servant.

“You guys can return.” Ji Fengyan waved her hands.

The three of them did not dare to stay any longer and immediately escaped. That day, Ji Fengyan had completely cleared the threat of Lei family and had gained an obedient family clan that had to follow her instructions.

It was a gain overall!

Seeing the three people’s pathetic back view, Linghe and the rest did not feel happy. They were not afraid of Lei family going back on their words, but...

“Miss, how did you offend the Eldest Princess? Why was she targeting you?” Linghe thought very hard, but he had no idea.

Ji Fengyan opened her hands out.

She also felt innocent.

Instead, Zuo Nuo thought of a possibility quickly. Seeing that the situation was inappropriate, he only said softly, “That... could it be because of the Grand Tutor?”

After Zuo Nuo said that, everyone was stunned.

Liu Huo’s face had even frozen.

Ji Fengyan had not realised the abnormality in Liu Huo and continued to ask, “What has it got anything to do with the Grand Tutor?”

Zuo Nuo gulped, “Previously... when I was stationed in the troops, I heard that... the Eldest Princess seems to be... interested in... the Grand Tutor, so when the Grand Tutor went to Ji City to recuperate, the Eldest Princess took the initiative to follow. After the Grand Tutor left, she followed after...”

Ji Fengyan was a little confused.

So the Eldest Princess had started to create trouble for her because of Su Lingsheng, but when the Grand Tutor appeared to seek justice for her, she was being hated by the Eldest Princess?

This could be considered a... Homme Fatale?

The corner of Ji Fengyan’s mouth twitched slightly.

This was the first time she felt that she was really wrongly accused.
