Volume 1_Chapter 212: Strike While the Iron Is Hot

Jun Linche's grip became even heavier.

"For so many years, I have only asked you to do two things—"

First, to please Shui Qianqiao.

Second, to please Ye Lanjue.

"But you couldn't even do these two things well; how can you expect me to trust you again?"

Jun Mengran only felt her chin hurting, hurting to the point of almost losing sensation.

She knew too well what kind of person her father was.

To him, there was only the goal that must be reached; there was no such thing as fatherly love.

Clearly, she wanted to treat Lady Shui as her own mother, but he forced her to tamper with the food she made and sent over.

Since she was young, she knew she had to please Lady Shui while poisoning her at the same time.

It wasn't what she wanted.

Even Ye Lanjue wasn't someone she liked at the beginning.

How could she possibly fall in love with someone whose appearance she didn't even know?

It was just that she had no choice.

The person she liked was killed by her father, right in front of her, his brains smashed out with one palm.

Later, she had to pretend to like Ye Lanjue, and over time, she really did like him.

She thought she realized his power, and if she were with him, perhaps she could escape her father's control.

But all of this was ruined.

It was ruined today when she prepared to frame Yun Qiyue.

Her chin hurt, but she couldn't help but speak, "Father—please, give me one more chance—"

Jun Mengran begged for mercy.

She knew that if her father knew she had lost her value, she would die.

She wanted to live.

She had always wanted to live.

However, for a long time, Jun Linche did not speak.

Just when Jun Mengran was feeling somewhat desperate, Jun Linche finally spoke, "Fine, you want a chance, right? Then, go to Kongming Academy now, and do everything in your power to get in. If not—"

Jun Linche's fingers pressed hard, his nails digging directly into the skin of Jun Mengran's chin, and blood immediately flowed out.

Jun Mengran felt the pain, but didn't dare to move.

Jun Linche released his hand and said coldly, "Alright, go. Remember what I said."

Jun Mengran nodded, "Yes—"

Jun Mengran walked out of the study, glanced in the direction where Ye Lanjue lived, her eyes filled with hatred.

Sooner or later, she would seek justice for herself today; she would make those who humiliated her pay the price.

Jun Mengran left, and a man in black appeared beside Jun Linche.

The man in black looked in the direction Jun Mengran had left, and for a long time, he didn't recover.

"What? Reluctant to let her go?" Jun Linche said coldly, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

The man recovered and restrained his demeanor, "No."

Jun Linche stared at the man, not speaking for a long time.

The man was dressed in black with a black mask, revealing only his eyes.

He looked up at Jun Linche, "Villa Master, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Linche's eyes carried a hint of viciousness and greed.

"What to do—" he repeated the man's words as if unintentionally.

Then, Jun Linche smiled gloomily, "It's time to go all out."

Upon hearing this, the man in black shook, his eyes filled with shock, "But, the Regent is too strong."

Upon hearing this, Jun Linche sneered and retorted, "When has he not been strong?"

The man in black was choked and had nothing to refute.

Jun Linche continued, "If I'm afraid of him being too strong, I'll only end up with nothing. It's better to strike while he's sick."

Clearly, in Jun Linche's view, Ye Lanjue's current paralysis was a good time to act.

However, after saying this, Jun Linche looked at the man in black, "You have followed me for so many years; it's time to share my worries."

Upon hearing this, a hint of terror flashed in the man in black's eyes...

Compared to the various undercurrents within Junyue Villa, the Qingya Ge where Ye Lanjue and Yun Qiyue were staying seemed much more harmonious.

Or rather, it was too harmonious.

Yun Qiyue didn't know what was wrong with Ye Lanjue; she had just lain on the bed, and Ye Lanjue had already trapped her beneath him.

Yun Qiyue subconsciously asked, "What do you want to do?"

Then, Ye Lanjue casually said, "Do you."

Then, before Yun Qiyue could react, she was kissed.

At first, she could still keep a clear head.

But unfortunately, the man's kissing technique was too good, and Yun Qiyue soon became lost in it.

Just when Yun Qiyue was expecting something to happen, or thought something would happen, Ye Lanjue stopped.

He looked at her with that pair of cold yet evil eyes, "It seems you were looking forward to it?"

Yun Qiyue subconsciously wanted to refute.

But Ye Lanjue's finger was placed on her lips, preventing her from continuing.

"On our wedding night, I will give you everything you want." Including the face behind the mask.

As long as she wanted to see it, he would give it to her.

After saying this, he whispered, "Sleep."

For some reason, after Ye Lanjue said this, Yun Qiyue, in her daze, actually fell asleep.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's sleeping face, then got up from the bed.

He extinguished the calming incense and walked out of the room.

After all, if he hadn't kissed Yun Qiyue until she was dizzy, how could she have fallen asleep because of the calming incense?

At this time, outside, there was not only Chen Feng but also a group of Ye Lanjue's subordinates.

Seeing Ye Lanjue walk out, they all bowed to him.

Ye Lanjue looked at them with a calm expression, "How is it?"

His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

"Reporting to Master, they have already started to act," the people below said.

Ye Lanjue nodded, his eyes carrying a hint of something unreadable.

But Chen Feng and the others knew that their master had been waiting for this day for a long time.

And at this time, Yun Qiyue had entered dreamland.

In her dream, Yun Qiyue was actually doing shameful things with the Imperial Uncle.

However, Yun Qiyue suddenly thought of a question, so she asked the Imperial Uncle who was busy on top of her, "Imperial Uncle, I haven't seen what you look like yet."

Yun Qiyue said, looking at Ye Lanjue's face with anticipation.

At this moment, she saw Ye Lanjue raise his hand and take off his mask, and then, Ye Lanjue's face overlapped with her master Jiuyuan's face.

Yun Qiyue: "Ah—you—"

Yun Qiyue woke up with a start.

After waking up, Yun Qiyue found that there was no one beside her, and even Ye Lanjue's wheelchair was gone.

Just as she felt strange, she smelled a strong scent of blood.

Yun Qiyue was stunned for a moment, then got up from the bed in shock, dressed quickly, and ran out of the room.

However, just after walking out of the room, Yun Qiyue was stunned.

Because, on the ground outside the room, there were corpses everywhere.

In the entire courtyard, there wasn't a single living person.

Something had happened!

Yun Qiyue was anxious.

Her first reaction was whether the Imperial Uncle was in trouble.

However, just after taking one step forward, Yun Qiyue felt danger coming from behind... ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
