He didnât wait for Zi Youâs response. He looked at the squirming insect corpses on the ground that had turned into yellow pus. He mocked, âI know youâre not afraid of poison. I wonât care about you anymore. Youâre really stupid to death. Someone has to clean up after you everytime.â
âWho needs to be saved by you?â ZiYou was angry at him calling her âstupidâ and âidiot.â She sent a kick over. âThis lady has not convicted you of the crime of trespassing in the Generalâs Manor. Thatâs already letting you off lightly. You dare to be arrogant? Just looking at your mask means that youâre some scoundrel who canât be seen. Tonight, this lady will have you revert to your original form.â
âSo fierce? Be careful you canât get married in the future. Not only stupid, but also fierce and ugly. Iâm too lazy to look at you. Iâm leaving.â He quickly disappeared into the night, leaving behind a refreshing bamboo scent.
Where did she smell this scent before? Where? Zi You was sprinkling an antidote powder and thinking hard.
This tone of voice and martial arts... Shangguan LingRan! Zi You remembered that on that day at Duke Yongnan fu, when he grabbed her and jumped out the window, she smelled this same scent.
Also, the tone of voice was the same in the market that day and at Duke Anguo fu.
It seemed like he wasnât like the dandy he appeared to be, with his high martial arts skills. Why did he pretend to be a weak and inept hopeless case? And why would he help her?
There was also the first intruder. He wasnât very tall: around 1.6-1.8 meters tall. His martial arts and method of poisoning seemed that he was a Nanjiang person. Could it be someone her maternal grandfather sent? Or was he someone a wangzi sent?
He shouldnât be someone her maternal grandfather sent. No matter what, they were her relatives. They shouldnât be poisoning her.
