The sun was setting, and the sky was gradually darkening. The vendors and pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, all wanting to get home before dark.

Among the crowd, there was a figure that went in the opposite direction of them. He was neither fast nor slow and went to the area where commoners rarely stepped foot.

“Young Master, aren’t we going to remind Madam Yu?” In the room, MO Yu looked at Jiang Tao’s back and asked.

Ji Yunxi sneered and said casually, “Since she has a death wish, why remind her? Anyway, I’ve already obtained what I wanted.”

“Young Master is wise.”

“Go and inform everyone that it’s time for us to leave.” Ji Yunxi stood up and walked out. “By the way, did you find where she hid Xuanyuan Ce?”

“He should still be in the lord’s residence. I haven’t found his exact location.” MO Yu followed.

One reason was that the residence was too big. The other reason was that they had only found out about it this morning. There was too little time for them to find the culprit.

“He’s really lucky.” Thinking of the clansmen who had died at Xuanyuan Ce’s hands, Ji Yunxi gritted her teeth and revealed a strange smile. “Have you done what I asked you to do?”

“Young Master, don’t worry. I’ve already followed your instructions and asked that family to go to various medical centers to treat their illnesses.”

“Heh, that Shen woman can save one person. I don’t believe she can save another.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The door of the room opened, and the smile on Ji Yunxi’s face froze.

“Ji Luo!”

At Lord Jing’an’s residence.

Madam Yu tried her best to ignore her twitching eyelids. She moved her numb legs and gasped in pain.

Seeing this, Nanny Wu persuaded, “Your Highness, I know you don’t feel good, but you’ve been guarding here for many days. Your body can’t take it anymore. What do you think the princess will do if anything happens to you? Listen to my advice and go back to your room to rest.”

Actually, Nanny Wu had to say these words a few times a day, but Madam Yu never listened. However, this time, she did not refuse.

“Help me up.”

Nanny Wu was stunned. “Alright.”

After kneeling for so long, Madam Yu’s legs had lost any feeling in them.

Nanny Wu quickly asked someone to carry her back to the main courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Ye came over not long after Madam Yu left the mourning hall.

“Where’s my mother?” she asked the butler, who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall.

“The princess consort is not feeling well. Nanny Wu sent her back to her room to rest.”

Xuanyuan Ye was shocked. “Mother is sick?”

In the main courtyard, Nanny Wu looked at the bruise on Madam Yu’s knee. Her heart ached so much that her eyes turned red. “Princess Consort, wait a moment. I’ll go get the medicine now.”

Madam Yu leaned against the soft couch tiredly and shook her head. “There’s no need. I’ll just rest for a while. Nanny, you can leave first.’

“But your legs…” Nanny Wu wanted to persuade her further, but seeing that she had already closed her eyes, she could only leave with her men.

Madam Yu was really tired. She turned around and wanted to sleep for a while when footsteps sounded behind her again. She said unhappily, “Nanny, didn’t I just say…” “Don’t worry, she’s already gone.”

This voice?

Madam Yu was shocked. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the man walking out from behind the screen. Her pupils constricted violently as she looked at him in disbelief. “You…

“What’s wrong with me? Oh, wasn’t I supposed to be dead? Why am I still alive?

Isn’t that right, Your Highness?” Jiang Tao walked towards Madam Yu with a dark expression.

Madam Yu quickly returned to her senses.

She tried her best to calm down. She pretended to be calm and sat up to tidy up the nonexistent creases on her clothes. She frowned slightly and said, “What are you talking about? Do you know what this place is? Who asked you to come? Also, I’ve already heard about the Yu family. I believe you’re not that kind of person. Don’t worry.”

“How could she not feel guilty at all when she saw me? She’s acting as if nothing had happened.” he thought.

Jiang Tao’s eyes turned red with anger. Without waiting for Madam Yu to finish, he grabbed her neck and lowered his voice. “Madam Yu, are you still human?

When he found out that Madam Yu wanted to silence him, Jiang Tao was not so angry. For their daughter, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

After knowing that he had been unconscious for four days, he could still rationally analyze if the time she woke up was a trap for Madam Yu. However, he could not forgive her for attacking the Jiang family. Those were his blood relatives.

“There are eleven people in my Jiang family. You didn’t even let off the infants.

Are you still human?”

He asked twice in a row and stared at Madam Yu with bloodshot eyes. His eyes were filled with hatred.

After everything he had done for her, how could she bear to do such a thing? Madam Yu’s breathing stopped. She wanted to break free from his grip, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. She could not move at all.

“Let go of me quickly, or I’ll call for help,” she threatened.

“Then go ahead. The princess consort is having a private meeting with an outsider in her room. I think the citizens of Phoenix City are very willing to discuss such a topic.”

Madam Yu was stunned and said angrily, “I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Let go of me first.”

“You don’t know?” Jiang Tao sneered. “Alright, I’ll send you down to hell now. When the time comes, I’ll let the person who killed my Jiang family tell you personally what you did. ”

He slowly tightened his grip.

The air in her chest suddenly constricted, and Madam Yu’s pale face turned red. Knowing that Jiang Tao really wanted to kill her, her eyes suddenly filled with tears. She said with difficulty, “No, that’s right. I did those things. I’m not human, but what can I do? Your father came to me and threatened me. He said that if I didn’t give him a sum of money, he would expose us to the world.”

These words were fake. Madam Yu dared to say that not only because Father Jiang was already dead, but also because there was no evidence.

Moreover, Father Jiang was a gambler. Most of the money Jiang Tao gave the family had been squandered by him. Jiang Tao knew this very well.

As for how Father Jiang knew about their relationship, just as Madam Yu had guessed, Jiang Tao lived under the same roof as his family. Who knew if he had accidentally heard something?

Jiang Tao probably couldn’t guarantee this either.

Since there was Father Jiang, who knew if there would be a second or third one?

Only the dead could keep secrets.

“Kill me.” After saying that, Madam Yu closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a tear fell on the back of Jiang Tao’s hand. Jiang Tao’s throat moved, and his hands fell weakly.

He couldn’t bring himself to do it!

The first time he saw Madam Yu, he was only an inferior-class servant of the Yu family.

Madam Yu was the most beautiful and doted on among all the young ladies in the Yu family.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and a sweet smile.

He thought to himself, “How could there be such a good-looking person in the world?”

In order to take a few more glances at her, he worked hard to enter the camp. Later on, Young Master Yu took a fancy to him and kept him by his side.

From then on, he followed Young Master Yu to the backyard to pay his respects to his wife. This became what he looked forward to the most every day.

However, what he did not expect was that not long after, Madam Yu became an abandoned child of the Yu family.

Her situation had become very difficult, but every time she saw her, she still had a pure and clean smile on her face, as if she was not worried about her situation at all.

From being admired by everyone to being able to bully servants, wasn’t she sad?

This question was asked the first time he helped her.

She just smiled slyly at him.

Although she didn’t say anything, Jiang Tao understood.

Apart from the impression that Madam Yu was good-looking, she was also smart.

After spending so much time together, there was something else.

However, Jiang Tao knew that even Madam Yu, who had been abandoned by her family clan, was not someone he could touch. He even felt that his unbearable thoughts were a stain on her.

He buried his thoughts in his heart and did not dare to let anyone know. As someone important to Young Master, he did his best to protect her.

No matter what Madam Yu did later, he felt that she was just protecting herself, so he was willing to be the knife in her hand.

Perhaps the heavens had treated him well and actually let him have that relationship with the person he had been thinking about.

Even though he knew that it was only because Madam Yu needed a child to save her life, he was still secretly delighted. He was willing to give her his life, he thought.

However.

While he was in a daze, a stool smashed towards his head with a huge force..
