Chapter 271: Threat from the Empress Dowager 4

However, as the Empress Dowager passed by Qu Tan'er, she suddenly stopped, casting her a cold glance, "Do you know the consequences of angering me? Don't forget, there's still the Qu household."

"What? …"

Qu Tan'er's face looked shocked as she gazed at the Empress Dowager, completely stunned and unresponsive.

The threat from the Empress Dowager was clear, simple, and direct.

This kind of threat wasn't something she could simply ignore if she decided to not pay attention to it — it was the most... comforting statement she had heard since entering the room. She had wanted to escape the control of the Qu household, but in the end, could the survival of the Qu household really constrain her? Suddenly, the corners of her mouth twitched strangely. Was that even possible? Haha, how ridiculous… She was just worried that no one would help her take her revenge.

However, before that, she wanted to ensure the rescue of Lady Nine...

The door opened, and the Empress Dowager left.
