Chapter 3210: A Privilege Countless Women Would Dream Of

“The prince’s heir cares about you; that’s why he assigned a hidden guard to protect you. That’s a privilege countless women would dream of,” Ning Shu said.

Yin Qing replied directly in front of Hongling, “Not every woman desires that kind of treatment.”

Ning Shu thought for a moment, then said, “Miss Yin must be extremely confident and capable to demand freedom. Most women would be overjoyed if they were in your position.”

“No. No one wants someone shadowing them all day like that,” Yin Qing said plainly.

Ning Shu gave a small smile, then turned and left.

Hongling immediately stepped forward and warned Yin Qing, “Miss, you mustn’t associate with Su Zhuru anymore. She’s trying to drive a wedge between you and the prince’s heir.

“The prince’s heir is deeply devoted to you. Don’t let others come between you.”

Hongling feared her presence might be affecting Yin Qing’s opinion of the prince’s heir.

Yin Qing turned to Hongling and said calmly, “Of course, I know exactly what Miss Su is trying to do, but she wasn’t entirely wrong about one thing. I do have the confidence and capability to demand my own freedom.”

She pulled out a gun, cocked it, and aimed it straight at Hongling’s forehead.

Hongling didn’t recognize the weapon, but instinct told her it was extremely dangerous.

“Miss, you…” Hongling’s expression changed drastically. “Miss, I serve the prince’s heir.”

Yin Qing pressed her lips together and said coldly, “I’ve had enough of you. Do you understand?”

She fired. The bullet struck Hongling in the thigh. Hongling dropped to her knees, clutching her wound. Her face turned pale and became drenched in sweat.

“Miss… you…”

Hongling was in complete shock. “Miss!”

“You follow me everywhere. I can’t even handle my own affairs because of you,” Yin Qing said. It had been far too long since she had visited her armed forces.

She still didn’t know what their current condition was. She needed to reassert her control and root out anyone with ulterior motives there.

Having Hongling by her side constantly was a huge hindrance. Moreover, she was sick of hearing about the prince’s heir’s so-called kindness and being treated like it was some grand honor for her to have his attention.

Yin Qing was done.

“Take her back,” she instructed her two personal maids.

Hongling wanted to find the prince’s heir to report the matter and tried to escape. Yin Qing promptly shot her in the other leg.

Hongling collapsed completely, limp on the ground, and had to be carried off by the two maids.

“Yin Qing, think carefully about what you’ve done. When the heir returns, he won’t let you get away with this. After all he’s done for you…”

Hongling’s face was as white as paper and soaked in sweat. Her legs dragged uselessly on the ground.

Yin Qing responded coolly, “It’s not like I killed you. What should I be afraid of?

“I came here today to meet with Miss Su,” she continued. “You ended up getting into a conflict with the Su family.”

Ning Shu stood around the corner, watching as Hongling was dragged onto the carriage. Hongling wouldn’t live to see the next day.

She was still alive now only because Yin Qing wanted certain people to witness the outcome.

It was likely she would become the prime suspect in Hongling’s death. A conflict between the prince’s heir and Marquis Xuanping’s household seemed inevitable.

Yin Qing had finally snapped.

“Miss, what happened to that arrogant Hongling?” Lianqiao asked, noticing the blood on the ground. Even though she didn’t like Hongling, she was still scared by what she was seeing.

Ning Shu replied, “Go back to the residence first. I want to walk around a bit more.”

“M-Miss, I’d rather stay with you,” Lianqiao said after swallowing nervously.
