Lady Yuan slowly walked toward Tian Qi.
Her steps were slow but heavy. Each step pounding into Tian Qiâs heart.
âTian Qi, Housekeeper Tian.â
Lady Yuan picked up a knife from the table and walked to the side of Tian Qiâs body. She violently stabbed the knife into Tian Qiâs arm.
Severe pain caused Tian Qiâs body to twitch. âLady Yuan, I really didnât do it. You must believe in me.â
âOf course I know it wasnât you who has caused my brotherâs death.â Lady Yuanâs lips curled upward. âBut, so what?â
âYou...â
Tian Qiâs eyes widened.
She knew... but why?
âTian Qi, do you still remember the You family?â
The beautyâs voice was very soft, but it caused Tian Qiâs heart to tremble.
âYou... The You family? Gong Cityâs You family?
âIt seems like you have yet to forget them. One year, you had led many soldiers to flatten the whole You family, robbing and stealing! If all of you had only robbed and left, perhaps then, I would still let it pass. But why did you all have to kill? Annihilate the whole You family?â
Lady Yuanâs eyes were red with anger.
She hated Marquis Zhengâs Manor. Hated everyone in it. Everyone deserved to die, every single one!
âYou...â Tian Qiâs voice was laced with fear. âWhat is your relationship with the You family?â
Lady Yuan stabbed at Tian Qiâs arm again.
âThe You familyâs You Ye was the man I loved the most in this lifetime. It was all of you who had killed him and the whole You family!â
Tian Qiâs eyes were suddenly filled with panic.
He finally understood why Lady Yuan had intentionally framed those loyal subjects after entering the marquisâ manor. All of this was for revenge!
âNo, it wasnât me. It was the marquis and marchioness. They said that there was a spirit beast who could transform into a human in the You family and had ordered us to snatch it. I was just following orders!â
Lady Yuan snickered. âThe marchioness is dead. The lackeys of the marquis have also been removed one by one. After this, it would be the marquisâ turn, followed by the young earl... I will never let a single person of the marquisâ manor off!â
Tian Qiâs was losing more and more blood. His face grew weaker and his panic-stricken eyes looked at the beauty in front of himâhis heart cold.
He understood now, Lady Yuan would never let him off!
âNaturally, I know you would never cause Mu Yuâs death. If someone else has really killed him, it would be a huge help to me.â Lady Yuanâs gaze contained hatred. âYoung Master Ye and I loved each other. Besides my elder brother, no one knew. However, in order to obtain greater power, he has offered me to Zheng Tianwu.
âBut he was afraid that I would not forget Sir Ye, and even more afraid that Zheng Tianwu would know my pas. So, he betrayed Sir Ye, causing his death!
âHahaha! Every single moment, I wished that he hadnât died! But I understand what kind of woman Zheng Tianwu likes, so I pretend to be that woman in front of him, making him fall deeply in love with me. He would betray everyone and leave his loved ones for me, how could I let everything go to waste?
âFurthermore, if I have wanted to frame Mu Yu and he speaks about my past with Sir Ye before he dies, how could I still avenge Sir Ye? Fortunately, he has died out there. Nobody else knows about my relationship with Sir Ye!â
From the moment the You family ceased to exist, the seed of hatred had been growing in her heart, and it had now grown into a towering tree.
There was nothing she cared about anymore in this life. Giving herself to Zheng Tianwu was solely encouraged by her heartâs desire for revenge.
Tian Qi panicked badly. This woman was crazy, completely insane!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGuards, someone come quick! Lady Yuan, she...â
