Overlord, Love Me Tender

Chapter 136: Proving Innocence by Death

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“Old Seven, what’s the matter?” Old Grand Madame’s face was gloomy. Ye Tian Kuang helped her getting up off the floor.

After all, she’s getting on in years. Both her legs went numb when she knelt for about the time it took an incense stick to burn.

At this moment she had Ye Tian Kuang bore the weight of her body.

When she recalled that she had unexpectedly knelt before a younger generation for a long stretch of time and seen by many commoners, Old Grand Madame’s face became even gloomier.

“I’d like to ask you what’s going on.” Ye Qing Luo’s eyes scanned them while feigning ignorance. “Why did Father and Old Grand Madame knelt at the door?”

All of a sudden, she nodded as if suddenly understood something and scratched her head with an embarrassed expression. “Father and Old Grand Madame especially came and greeted me to celebrate my admission to the Heavenly Academy, right?”

Old Grand Madame previously stood firm. However, her body trembled with rage when she heard Ye Qing Luo’s words. Her slanting eyes narrowed into slits

Greeting Ye Qing Luo?

Could Ye Qing Luo handle her grand greeting?

“Of course I can handle it.” Ye Qing Luo seemed to see through Old Grand Madame’s thoughts and smiled sweetly.

Her charming eyes sparkled innocently and her eyebrows bent. “Earlier, Old Grand Madame had knelt for a long time. The sound of rolling thunder was not heard. So why can’t I handle it?”

“You…! Old Seven, for better or worse, you’re the young matriarch of Third Stream sect. Watch your tongue!” Old Grand Madame’s eyes flashed viciously and her pupils turned profoundly treacherous.

Sure enough, this slut was different from the past.

If it’s the previous Ye Qing Luo, she wouldn’t have these pair of eyes…these eyes were soul-stirring and so enchanting!

What was the reason that causes Old Seven, who used to be weak and was a waste for fifteen years, to have such a big change?

“If Old Grand Madame really thought I was the young matriarch, you should have defended me when Elder Sister provoked me with her words just now.”

Ye Qing Luo laughed scornfully. “I grew up without mother to discipline me. Perhaps…Elder Sister also didn’t understand proper family upbringing?

Her voice was suddenly lowered as if she was talking to herself. “Yes, if Elder Sister had a proper upbringing, as a concubine’s daughter, she would not play around with her future brother-in-law behind the younger sister’s back.”

Those final words were spoken in whispers.

But the people around them, who didn’t hear and didn’t understand those words?

The commoners pointed the fingers of blame while discussing lively. Ye Qing Qian bit her lower lip in shame and resentment. How could she keep the sweet-tempered expression on her face?

Ye Qing Qian’s face was tender and thin. She felt that the meaningful glances around her made her face burn like fire.

She clutched her wide-sleeved robe tightly in her small fists and endured the rage that surged through her chest.

She tried to restrain herself at all costs and made her voice even gentler. “Seventh Younger Sister, if…If you deliberately misunderstand and slander Elder Sister, Elder Sister can only prove her innocence by death!”

Then she lifted her sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes gently.

Soon after, she ran (headfirst) into the Third Streams sect estate’s wall.

“Qian Er!”

“Qian Er!”

Old Grand Madame and Ye Tian Kuang cried out in alarm.

Just as Ye Qing Qian’s head was about to hit the fence, a Profound Qi came straight at her.

The powerful force came like a wave and flipped Ye Qing Qian’s body.

Ye Qing Qian fell down on the ground with a heavy thump.

The exquisite makeup on the face had been covered with dust and her carefully arranged hair was scattered.

“Qian Er, I’m sorry. This prince wanted to save you, but in a moment of desperation, this prince couldn’t control the strength well…”

Leng Feng Hua was the one who sent the Profound Qi from a distance. He immediately withdrew his hands. He took several steps in a blink to Ye Qing Qian’s side and embraced her.

When he realized that Ye Qing Qian tried to commit suicide, Leng Feng Hua reflected on his conducts and used Profound Qi to stop her.

But he didn’t expect that this action would put Ye Qing Qian in a difficult situation.
