Chapter 129: Wen Nianshu is gambling, threatening Chen Yan with her life
"You break your word!"
"You lied to me!"
"You actually lied to me!"
Wen Nianshu, stimulated, raised her hand and pointed at the man who flipped his face faster than flipping a book.
She had never imagined that not only would this bastard go back on his word, but he could even say it so righteously...
"Don't slander people with empty words!"
Chen Yan smiled indifferently, patted away Wen Nianshu's trembling and angry finger, and said playfully, "Especially slandering a court-appointed official, a Mirror Master of the Mingjing Si!"
Chen Yan didn't worry about outside opinions at all.
Even in front of so many Embroidered Attire Envoys, he wasn't afraid of his image collapsing.
Because this woman was a special case...
Based on what she had done in the Heavenly Prison Death Prison, whatever was done to her was deserved, and people would even applaud it.
"You shameless!"
"Chen Yan, you shameless, backstabbing person!"
Wen Nianshu's eyes reddened, she crawled powerlessly on the ground, her whole person haggard to the extreme, and cursed.
The once high-and-mighty eldest daughter of the Wen family had never thought that one day, not only would she be tricked out of her body, but she would also be ruthlessly toyed with...
And the target was the lickspittle who used to be ordered around like a beast of burden, bossed around, and only knew how to revolve around her...
"This description is very accurate!"
Chen Yan nodded and smiled.
He looked exactly like someone who agreed.
The opponent's impotent and furious attacks and insults were much more pleasant to hear than simple flattery.
After a pause, he changed the subject and continued, "But what can you do to me? Wen Nianshu!"
"I just toyed with you, and I'm going to raid your house!"
The tone was playful, killing and punishing the heart.
Things in the world are inherently about the strong preying on the weak, and the winner takes all.
Wen Nianshu could do it on the first day, so Chen Yan could naturally do it on the fifteenth.
Things the original owner couldn't do, he could, and he could do them thoroughly!
"No... don't!"
Hearing the words "raid the house", Wen Nianshu's reason overcame her anger. She crawled wretchedly to Chen Yan's feet and begged, "A Yan, if you have any dissatisfaction, just come at me alone, don't implicate my family!"
"I beg you!"
At that moment, Wen Nianshu was truly panicked.
She had heard of the fates of families like the Daxi, Fan, and Meng families, even if she hadn't seen them with her own eyes...
They could be called one more miserable than the other.
The men were exterminated, the family property was divided, and the women were occupied...
"Even if I agreed, the brothers under my command wouldn't agree..."
Chen Yan glanced sideways and said lightly.
This was a matter of sharing benefits; who would be willing to miss out?
After a pause, he shouted, "Someone come!"
"Here." You Xian immediately stepped forward and responded.
Chen Yan snapped his fingers, expressionless, and instructed, "Old You, take some men and go raid the Wen Estate..."
"Handle everything according to custom!"
The people below were waiting to share the spoils, and the people above were waiting for offerings; this was not something a woman could influence.
Especially a woman who was of no importance...
"As you command." You Xian nodded, bowed, and then greeted several Embroidered Attire Envoys to go handle the matter.
Wen Nianshu tried to struggle, grabbed Chen Yan's trouser leg, her eyes filled with tears, and begged pitifully, "A Yan, I'll be a slave and a maid for you, okay?"
"Just let them go..."
At this very moment, as long as she could save her family, Wen Nianshu would do anything.
Even if it meant becoming a plaything...
"Not okay!"
Chen Yan curled his lips and spat out two words coldly.
After a pause, he continued, "You're not qualified enough!"
"Take her away."
As he spoke, he kicked away the woman who was pestering him without mercy.
The Embroidered Attire Envoys on either side received the order and immediately stepped forward, preparing to take Wen Nianshu away, but only saw her pull out the hairpin from her hair bun, hold it directly against her own delicate neck, and say sternly, "Chen Yan, if you don't let my father go, don't let my Wen family go..."
"I will die in front of you right now!"
Wen Nianshu was gambling.
Gambling on the care this man had for her in his heart.
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Yan found it amusing, raised his hand to point at himself, and couldn't help but laugh.
No, this woman is threatening my big brother?!... Li Tan, who was watching from the side, was stunned by this scene, almost dropping his jaw, and shouted wildly in his heart.
It was full of disbelief.
At that moment, Li Tan really wanted to ask this woman, do you know who this Lord in front of you is?
Do you know how Chen Kaiyuan and Chen Zhiyun, his blood relatives, died?
"So what if I am?"
Wen Nianshu poked the hairpin closer, the sharp point piercing out bright red blood, and said loudly, "Chen Yan, even if your temperament has changed drastically now, I don't believe that in your heart, you can completely let go of our past!"
"Can you bear to watch me die in front of you!"
She wore an expression of complete confidence.
So what if his temperament changed?
Even if it was out of revenge, wouldn't this man want to take her for his own?
"So what?" Chen Yan didn't have much emotional fluctuation, just raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.
It's working... Wen Nianshu was overjoyed in her heart and hurriedly said, "As long as you preserve my father and preserve my Wen family, I will be with you properly in the future!"
"I will serve you with all my heart, and I can give birth to as many children as you want!"
"Then as you wish!" Chen Yan pursed his lips and smiled calmly.
"Re... really?!"
"You agreed?!"
Hearing this, Wen Nianshu raised her head, her eyes shining.
The surprise came too suddenly; she hadn't expected to be agreed to so readily...
"Hmm."
Chen Yan smiled ambiguously and immediately gave an affirmative answer.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he walked toward Wen Nianshu and grabbed the hand she was holding the hairpin with...
With a slight force, the sharp point went straight into the woman's fair and delicate neck.
"Ugh..."
"You..."
Wen Nianshu, who hadn't been happy for even a moment, felt the intense pain coming from her neck and groaned.
She hadn't expected this.
Fresh blood gushed out from the wound.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment, horror, and confusion, and finally, she fell to the ground.
"If you want to die, just die; you're really dawdling!"
Chen Yan glanced at the woman who had lost all signs of life, checked lightly, and said extremely impatiently, "Since you wanted to die in front of me, then I'll grant your wish!"
He had always been responsive to such requests...
It was just that what Chen Yan had agreed to was to kill her, not to let her go!
How could there be such an idiot who thought of threatening him?
"Treating an old lover like this..." Li Tan leaned forward, smacked his lips, and teased, "Big Brother, you really are heartless!"
"Is today the first day you've known me?" Chen Yan smiled indifferently and asked in return.
For unimportant people and unimportant things, is there any need for hesitation?
"Hurry up and carry Wen Nianshu's corpse down; don't leave it here to be an eyesore!" Song Fei stepped forward and shouted to the Embroidered Attire Envoys watching from the side.
"Yes."
The Embroidered Attire Envoys on either side responded and moved, dragging the corpse on the ground away to be destroyed, and cleaned up the stains on the ground.
Li Tan put his hand on Chen Yan's shoulder, his gaze sharpened, and he asked meaningfully, "Big Brother, should we..."
It was night.
Outside Chang'an City.
In the forest to the northeast.
A person and a horse galloped away in the twilight, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Whoosh!"
From somewhere in the darkness, several iron chains flew out, blocking the way ahead.
The horse galloping at high speed couldn't dodge in time, let out a "moo-moo" whinny, and was tripped to the ground.
Xu Zhongxiao on the horse's back reacted extremely quickly; the moment the horse was about to flip over, he flew up and surveyed the surroundings vigilantly.
He knew very well that this could absolutely not be a coincidence...
"Where are you trying to go?"
"Where are you going?"
In the silent forest, a deep voice drifted over.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Zhongxiao looked vigilantly at the source of the voice.
"Doesn't your Excellency know it in your heart?"
"Why the need to ask such a question?"
The voice came again, with a bit more playfulness in it.
"What kind of skill is a sneak attack?"
Xu Zhongxiao stood holding his sword, his gaze sweeping around the surroundings, and provoked, "You rat hiding your head and showing your tail!" ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
