The Phoenix Arises Chapter 31.2

Chapter 31 . 2: Plead for Mercy

— Study in Duke Jing’s Manor —

“Little Qing, that was quite a good performance last night . ”

Duanmu Shuang nodded in satisfaction as she looked at Duanmu Qing .

“The duel at the Vermillion Bird Arena would allow us to get rid of the Crown Princess without much effort and once that useless good for nothing Duanmu Xi is dead, then this Duke here will be able to put you on the throne as the Crown Princess . ”

“Thank you Mother . ”

Duanmu Qing curled up her lips, a malevolent glint in her eyes .

“Your child will definitely make sure she dies on the Vermillion Bird Arena stage this time . I want everyone under the Heavens to know that I alone am the most qualified to be the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Crown Princess . ”

“Haha, you’ve got ambition . ”

Duanmu Shuang laughed as she patted Duanmu Qing on the shoulder .

“Your Mother believes that you can definitely achieve it . That woman Duanmu Xue will not only lose her precious daughter this time, she will lose all face before everyone’s eyes . This Duke here is rather eager to see how she will react at that time . ”

“When Duanmu Xi dies, Duanmu Xue will not be able to withstand the loss and Huangfu Che will then become Mother’s . ”

Knowing full well that Duanmu Shaung was smitten with Huangfu Che, Duanmu Qing then said that intentionally to please her Mother .

Duanmu Shuang’s face became highly excited and her eyes flashed with a lascivious glint .

Seeing that lecherous look on Duanmu Shuang’s face, a look of contempt flashed fleetingly over Duanmu Qing eyes .

“Alright, go get yourself well prepared already . ”

“Your child shall then take her leave . ”

Duanmu Qing had just walked out of the study when a servant came up to her bringing a report . “My Heir, the Eldest Young Master from the Great General’s Residence seeks an audience . ”

Duanmu Qing was taken aback a moment . [Si Yun Han wants to see her . What could it be about?]

“Bring him to meet me in the Southern Garden . ”

“Yes . ” The servant received his orders and bowed his way out .

After while, the servant brought Si Yun Han to the Southern Garden .

“Greetings to Heir Qing . ”

Upon seeing Duanmu Qing, Si Yun Han immediately stepped forward to pay his respects .

“So you know that you should bow in greeting to me now . Why have I not seen you being so polite in the past?”

Duanmu Qing asked mockingly as she gripped Si Yun Han’s chin .

[This man is actually quite good looking . Although not flawlessly handsome like Xuanyuan Mo, but he was at least clean cut and handsome, still tasty in his own way looking at him like that . ]

Si Yun Han knitted up his brows, intense hatred brewing deep down inside his eyes, but he did not turn away from her this time .

“Heir Qing, Yun Han came here today because I have a request to make and I hope that Heir Qing can grant Yun Han my wish . ”
