Volume 1_Chapter 145: Carrying a Big Man as Easily as a Dead Rat

"You—if you come any closer, I'll kill your maid."

The assassin gripped Sixue's neck.

Sixue was a bit dazed at this moment; she had followed her Miss's instructions and sprinkled the medicine on the man in black, yet the man was fine and had even taken her hostage.

Even so, upon hearing the man's words, Sixue subconsciously shook her head, "Miss, don't worry about this servant—ugh..."

Before Sixue could finish her sentence, the man in black collapsed.

It wasn't a poison that kills upon drawing blood, so the man in black wasn't dead yet.

But it would have been better if he were dead.

Because at this moment, his entire body was convulsing, his skin was continuously rotting, and he was in extreme pain, yet he was completely powerless—it was truly a fate worse than death.

Yet, at this moment, Yun Qiyue clicked her tongue: "If I had known it would be like this, I should have just slit your throat to make it quick."

Hearing this, the man in black truly regretted it to the core.

But now, he didn't even have the strength to end his own life.

In his agony, he didn't even have the strength to scream, and could only silently endure the inhumane torture.

Yun Qiyue didn't pay any more attention to that man in black and just looked at the thugs on the ground.

Then, she and Sixue flipped the few men over.

"Do you want to live or die?" Yun Qiyue asked.

Then, remembering they couldn't speak, she added, "If you want to live, blink."

Then, those thugs began to blink frantically; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were having eye spasms.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue continued, "Which of you had contact with the person who sent you to deal with me—if anyone who didn't have contact blinks, I'll poke your eyes out."

Although these thugs hadn't seen Yun Qiyue killing people, they had heard it.

In their hearts, Yun Qiyue was simply a female demon, a female devil.

So, as soon as Yun Qiyue said this, those who hadn't had contact closed their eyes in fear, terrified of having them poked out.

And the one who had contact with that person blinked with tears in his eyes, terrified and regretful to the core.

But what could they do?

Now they had fallen into the hands of the female devil.

After identifying the person, Yun Qiyue picked him up directly and walked toward the alley entrance under Sixue's shocked gaze.

After walking for a while without hearing any movement from Sixue, Yun Qiyue looked back and raised an eyebrow, "What? Are you reluctant to leave and want to keep these corpses company?"

Hearing this, Sixue looked at the blood-soaked ground and swallowed hard, "Th-this servant is coming right away—"

Sixue wasn't a young maid who hadn't seen the world, so she wasn't shocked by her Miss killing people.

Compared to the killing, Sixue was even more shocked by her Miss's immense strength.

Her petite Miss had actually picked up that big man so casually and easily, just as easily as catching a dead rat.

After Yun Qiyue and her maid left the alley, a figure suddenly appeared within it.

That figure studied the man in black, who was still in a state worse than death on the ground, as if looking at something rare.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Poison, poisonous enough."

"Good! Very good!"

Three exclamations in a row.

In this silent and terrifying alley, it seemed exceptionally eerie.

Those thugs who hadn't been taken away by Yun Qiyue kept their eyes tightly shut, wanting only to play dead.

If Yun Qiyue were standing here at this moment, she would surely be surprised to discover that the figure was none other than the old man she had found strange earlier.

After the old man finished studying the man in black, he ran over to the side of the few thugs.

"Tsk tsk, she's a girl with cunning methods; she suits my old man's taste."

Saying this, the old man shouted into the void, "Alright, help me take these people who are still alive back."

Then, as the old man was about to leave, he remembered something and ran back to the corpses of the men in black.

He dug around in his sleeve for a long time and pulled out a porcelain bottle.

Then, he dripped the contents of the bottle onto those corpses.

In a short while, those corpses all turned into puddles of bloody water.

Seeing this, the old man nodded with a satisfied expression, "Young people, they do things without considering the consequences, and I, the old man, have to help clean up the mess."

After speaking, the old man's figure disappeared from the alley in an eerie manner.

And very soon, the people still alive in the alley were also taken away by several figures.

On the other side, when Yun Qiyue walked to the entrance of the Marquis Mansion, her footsteps paused slightly, and she sneered at the tightly closed gate.

"Go, knock on the door." Yun Qiyue instructed Sixue.

At this moment, because Yun Qiyue had been half-carrying and half-dragging a big man along the way, she had already attracted quite a bit of attention, so there was a tail following behind her.

As soon as Sixue heard this, she knew her Miss was definitely going to stir up trouble; she looked excited and obediently went to knock on the door.

However, the moment the gatekeeper opened the door and saw Yun Qiyue and the crowd surrounding the entrance, he subconsciously closed the door again.

Under Yun Qiyue's signal, Sixue continued to knock on the door.

The commotion at the entrance soon reached the inside of the Marquis Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jiande frowned immediately, "What's going on? What does she want to do again?"

The gatekeeper naturally didn't know and could only shake his head.

Yun Jiande paced back and forth, his brows tightly furrowed.

Seeming to think of something, he said to the gatekeeper, "Do not open the door; even if the door is knocked to pieces, you are not allowed to open it."

The gatekeeper accepted the order and was about to leave.

However, just after the gatekeeper left, Yun Jiande still felt somewhat restless.

"Someone, send someone to the house next door to notify the Marquis."

A servant immediately accepted the order and left.

Yun Jiande felt it wasn't enough, and thinking of something, he immediately walked toward the backyard.

At this time, Xu Shi was still lying on the bed recovering from her injuries.

Ever since her face was beaten swollen and she received ten strikes of the board, Xu Shi had not appeared in front of others and had been recovering in her own courtyard.

Today, Xu Shi seemed to be in a very good mood.

However, at this moment, Yun Yarou ran over with a panicked expression.

"Mother, Mother—"

Hearing Yun Yarou's panicked voice, Xu Shi subconsciously frowned.

Yun Yarou entered at this moment.

Xu Shi scolded her right away, "What kind of decorum is this, being so panicked?"

Since the palace banquet, this second daughter's reputation had been damaged, and there was no hope of her becoming the Crown Princess, so all of Xu Shi's expectations for her had turned into disappointment, to the point that seeing her daughter in such a panicked state, she no longer had her usual composure.

Being scolded by Xu Shi, Yun Yarou felt very aggrieved.

But she knew that now was not the time for her to feel aggrieved.

"Mother, Yun Qiyue, she, she is back!"

At this moment, Yun Yarou's face was pale, her eyes filled with lingering fear, and glistening tears filled her eyes; she clearly looked like someone who had been frightened by a major event.

Upon hearing Yun Yarou's words, Xu Shi was first startled, then frowned, "What's going on? Did you also do something?"

Also?

Yun Yarou was stunned.

Could it be that Mother also did something?

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and at this moment, they both received the information they wanted from each other's eyes.

So it turned out that both of them had made a move on the same day?

Too busy to be surprised, Xu Shi thought of a more serious problem, "Did you leave any evidence behind?" ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
