st."Just who are you" Fang Tianjing thrust his sword forward another inch. A normal woman would have been terrified by the sight of the blade, her face paling with fear, but she didn't even bat an eye...Xiao Yu's voice was filled with worry: "I don't know if we're still in time. You should arrange things quickly." She reckoned that the person Qian Si Chen had sent out was likely already on their way. With Ling Tian's skills, those guards at Mei Hua Mountain Villa wouldn't be a match for him. The life and death of Shen Mei Hua and her son didn't really concern her; she was just afraid her father would be heartbroken, and even more afraid that someone would use this to blackmail him.
"Attend to this immediately!"
Meihua Mountain Villa.
Countless men in black broke into the manor under the cover of night. They killed anyone they saw and set the whole place on fire at the end!
"Master, you quickly take the young master and flee! I'll hold them off!" Jiang Qi desperately protected Shen Mei and her son, leading them out of Meihua Mountain Villa. However, the black-clothed men behind them relentlessly pursued, closing in on them.
"Jiang Qi!" Seeing Jiang Qi being assassinated by one of the men in black, Shen MeiHua was shocked and terrified. She didn't have time to think too much, so she grabbed her son and fled in panic towards the front.
And Jiang Qi, with her last breath, desperately held onto the black-clad man. However, her martial arts skills were far inferior. After only a few moves, she was kicked away by the leader of the black-clad men and crashed heavily before Shen MeiHua and her son!
"Ugh!" Jiang Qi spat out a mouthful of blood. She knew her five internal organs were severely injured, and she was afraid she wouldn't survive.
"Jiang Qi!"
"Aunt Qi!"
Xiao Guier was also so scared that she grabbed Jiang Qi's hand and cried straight away.
"Master, I'm so sorry..." Knowing she was about to die, Jiang Qi didn't want to leave with guilt and regret. She held onto Shen Mei Hua's hand tightly: "Master, there is something the slave girl wants to tell you..."
"Jiang Qi, this is not the time, let's talk when we escape!"
"No! Master, I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I'll never have another chance..." Jiang Qi gasped for breath, blood dripping constantly from the corner of her mouth.
"What is it" Shen Meihua knew today was probably the day she couldn't escape. With her son, it was too late to run now. She looked at the black-clad men chasing after them and resigned herself to her fate.
Actually, the person who poisoned Hong'er for the young master wasn't Princess Guoguo, but a slave...
"What are you saying" Shen MeiHua was astonished, staring at her incredulously. She was her most trusted maid, yet she couldn't believe she would poison Xiao Guier.
“It was Gu'an County who threatened the servant with the lives of his family members. The servant had no choice but to do so. It was the servant who forced Hong'er...” As a person approaches death, their words often become sincere. Jiang Qi now deeply regretted: “Hong'er stole items from the estate and was caught by the servant. The servant threatened her with this... Master, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...”
"The person you owe the most apologies to is Hong'er!" Shen Meihua said through tears, her heart unable to tell if it was hate or resentment. She never expected that the one who plotted against her would be the most trusted person by her side. Now she didn't expect it to be Xiao Yufu. Before that, she had believed in her so much!
"Master, it was this servant who was wrong... This servant will go to hell and apologize to Hong'er!" In guilt and remorse, Jiang Qi painfully closed his eyes.
"Auntie Qi! Auntie Qi! Mother, Auntie Qi is asleep. Let's wake her up quickly!" Little Guier was still young and didn't understand life and death; she only thought that Jiang Qi was just asleep.
"Little Precious, my unfortunate child, it's because your mother is useless, unable to protect you..." Those men in black had surrounded them. Shen Mei-hua knew there was no escape, so she could only tightly hold her son.
"Mother, Little貴 is afraid..." Little貴 clutched tightly onto her mother Shen Mei Hua's neck, staring at those menacing black-clad men with fear.
“Little Guier, don’t be afraid, mother is here.” Shen Mei shed tears, her face full of sorrow, as she held her son tightly in her arms. Then she stood up, facing the black-clad men before her. She asked in a deep voice: “I want to know, why do you want to kill us both”
The man in black at the front coldly stated, "Your existence is a mistake!"
"It seems like I understand now," Shen Mei Hua said with a bitter smile, "So it's our existence that bothers others. But I want to know, who wants us, mother and son, dead" Even if she died, she wanted to know who killed them.
"When you get to the King of Hell's place, you'll naturally know!" It was obvious that the man in black didn't intend to tell her the truth, but instead strode towards them, mother and son, sword in hand.
Just as the black-clad man raised his sword to kill them, a sudden flicker of a figure appeared. With a clang, a sword deflected the black-clad man's blade, saving Shen Mei and her child from the attack in time!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of mask-wearers surrounded the original black-clad men.
They were the Dragon Abyss who came to save Shen Meihua and her child upon receiving their orders.
The black-clad man at the front was taken aback, pointing his long sword: "Who are you I advise you not to meddle in this, lest you bring disaster upon yourselves!"
Long Yuan let out a cold snort: "I love meddling the most!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men: "Take them away first!" He secretly rejoiced that he had arrived in time, otherwise, the host's first mission would have failed, and wouldn't the host blame him
The man in black watched as Shen Meihua and her child were about to be taken away by the masked man, so he immediately fought with Long Yuan and the others!
Long淵 brought a lot of people, those in black quickly couldn't resist. Knowing that it was impossible to kill Shen Mei Hua and her child today, they feigned a move, called their men, and vanished from there in a blink of an eye.
Long Yuan's purpose was to save people, not kill them. So, after the black-clothed men left, he also led his people away from there.
The Prince's Mansion.
"Damn it! You can't even handle a defenseless woman, what use are you!" When Qian Si Chen heard that the people sent hadn't killed Shen Mei Hua and her child, she was furious.
It turned out that those men in black were actually sent by him secretly.
"Your Highness, there are just too many of them! Our forces are limited, we're simply no match for them!" Ling Tian was also unable to swallow this anger.
Qian Si Chen glared at him. Things had come to this, and even if she killed Ling Tian, nothing would change. So, she asked: “Have you figured out who rescued those people”
Ling Tian shook his head: "At the time, they were all wearing masks, so we can't figure out who they are for now..."
"Trash!" Qian Si Chen threw a book at him, "If you can't find it, hurry up and search!" Disappointed in love, he had been scolded by his father these days. He was sent to do things but failed every time. How could he not be angry
"My subordinates have already sent people to investigate!" Ling Tian lowered his head and endured the scolding.
"Besides that mother and son, the rest of the people at Meihua Mountain Villa"
"Rest assured, Your Highness. I've already ordered the entire Plum Blossom Villa to be burned down to ashes. There won't be a single trace left behind."
Hearing him say this, Qian Si Chen's heart finally eased a little: "Well then, perhaps the mother and child were fated to survive. As long as Plum Blossom Villa doesn't exist, those people won't be able to find out anything. If they can't find out, then they won't be a threat to the Prime Minister! However, we still can't relax. We must find that mother and child. At this time, there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes! Understood, my lord!"d, you must have seen that our Yu Long Village has fallen into disrepair. Our village wasn't like this originally, but these past two years, a Black Bear Village appeared on the mountain. They are wic...
