Chapter 94
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
General Yu didn’t show much sadness for the death of Lady Yu . Only when he came back from Cangchun street after drinking that day, he wailed a few times, and then he couldn’t resist his deep drunkenness and fell asleep .
The death of Lady Yu gave General Yu and Mu s.h.i.+ another reason to make a big deal . Nowadays, Gan Taifu’s marriage with the Yu Mansion was already a certainty . Everyone rushed to show their courtesy to General Yu and his wife because they wanted to flatter the future in-laws of the Gan family .
Therefore, although General Yu and Mu s.h.i.+ were all dressed in plain clothes and practiced filial piety, they could not hide their pride . General Yu was invited to drink from time to time, and he returned drunk every day . And Mu s.h.i.+ finally got rid of the mother-in-law who had been so obtrusive for years and regained the power of the Yu Mansion for the funeral . Therefore, although she looked very sad, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of pride .
Yu Linglong watched silently as the two of them were so busy all day long running around like monkeys, but surprisingly, there was no response .
As for Mu s.h.i.+, after a few days of anxiety, seeing that no one was moving, she was completely relieved .
In the Yu Mansion, General Yu was careless and violent, and would not notice these small details at all . Other people were not even worried . Only Yu Linglong knew of Mu s.h.i.+’s crime .
Seeing that even Yu Linglong had no objection to the death of Lady Yu, Mu s.h.i.+ felt even more proud .
She was just a little commoner’s daughter . Maybe she’s a bit more feisty, but she’s not her opponent if she wants to fight!
After she triumphantly managed the funeral of Lady Yu, Mu s.h.i.+ happily lived with the gift money she collected and unceremoniously kept it in her dresser box .
Had she known that she could receive such a large amount of cash, that obnoxious old lady would die sooner!
Mu s.h.i.+ had been tired for several days, and she was already exhausted at the moment . She ordered Shuang Tao to burn a soothing fragrance, and she soon fell asleep .
Shuang Tao helped Mu s.h.i.+ to sleep and then walked to the couch beside the bed, ready to rest .
Before sitting down, she suddenly heard the sound of very light footsteps coming from outside the window . She couldn’t help being a little suspicious . Who else would come at this time?
In order not to wake Mu s.h.i.+, she gently walked to the window and asked in a low voice: “Who is it?”
The sound outside disappeared, and there were only the evening breeze and the rustle of falling leaves . No one was there .
Shuang Tao looked around for a moment, but couldn’t see anything .
She retracted her head in confusion and was just about to turn around when she suddenly heard a bang, which sounded particularly harsh in the middle of the night .
Shuang Tao was taken aback but saw a cat leaping off the window sill . It turned out that it was a cat who turned over the flowerpot and ran away .
Shuang Tao shook her head mockingly and closed the window gently .
She didn’t realize that a ghostly shadow appeared behind her at some point, standing silently behind her .
Before she turned her head, the black shadow had already made a sharp move, slamming heavily on the back of Shuang Tao’s neck .
Shuang Tao didn’t even groan and fell softly to the ground .
Mu s.h.i.+ was awakened by the falling sound of the flowerpot . She turned over and saw that Shuang Tao hadn’t made a sound, and she asked in a daze, “Who is it?”
No one answered her . Quietly in the room, in the darkness, a huge murderous aura gradually rose and slowly condensed .
Mu s.h.i.+ opened her eyes in a daze, but was scared by the situation in front of her and suddenly became completely sleepy .
A slender figure stood in front of her bed, staring at her motionlessly .
The face of the visitor could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but Mu s.h.i.+ could still feel the sharp murderous aura and the constant anger that came out of the visitor .
“Who, who are you? Come here, come here—”
A horrified scream was her response, and her throat was severely strangled by a small hand, and her voice was immediately cut off .
“It’s time for you to die . ”
The oozing voice seemed to be from the Shura demon coming out of h.e.l.l, and the hairs all over her body could not help but stick up .
“Don’t, don’t—” Mu s.h.i.+’s face was purplish, and she could only speak word by word, “I…I have silver…silver to give you if…if you…don’t, don’t kill me…”
“Silver?” There was a sneer in the darkness, “No amount of silver can be exchanged for your life!”
The little hand pinching her neck suddenly strengthened, and Mu s.h.i.+ couldn’t even say a word at this moment . She kicked her feet desperately, kicking the quilt to the ground, but she couldn’t get rid of the restraint on her neck .
Just when she was about to faint, the strength on her neck suddenly disappeared .
In the darkness, the slender figure took a step forward, surrounded by an invisible aura, and the oppressor couldn’t breathe .
Mu s.h.i.+ was coughing desperately, and just as she eased her breath, she raised her head .
A faint moonlight pa.s.sed through the panes and hit the black shadow’s face . Only then did Mu s.h.i.+ clearly see the appearance of the visitor, but she was immediately frightened by the look .
The girl in the dark had long and slender eyebrows, her inky eyes were cold, her delicate face was pure and vulgar, but she had a cold chill . Yu Linglong was dressed in black clothes and a veil, like a witch, and her body exuded a cold, murderous aura .
“Linglong—” Mu s.h.i.+ trembled and made a desperate sound, so scared that she could only whimper in fear .
Even though she had been cleaned up by Yu Linglong so many times, Mu s.h.i.+ had never seen Yu Linglong like this . Yu Linglong had only made her feel venomous before, but this time, she could clearly feel Yu Linglong exuding a deadly air .
It was time to kill this commoner’s daughter!
Mu s.h.i.+ knelt on the bed, holding Yu Linglong’s clothes tightly with both hands, raised her face and begged desperately: “Please, don’t kill me, I will give you money, I will give you whatever you want—”
Without being shaken by Mu s.h.i.+’s grief, Yu Linglong’s soft lips twitched slightly, and she uttered a cold sentence: “I just want your life!”
Mu s.h.i.+ hadn’t waited to say anything, she only felt that the roots of her hair were suddenly tightened . Her bun was being violently pulled up by Yu Linglong, her neck leaned back as far as possible, and she forced to watch Yu Linglong’s condescending expression . Her face and eyes were full of fear .
Yu Linglong’s right hand was slowly raised, and Mu s.h.i.+ saw a blue teapot with a white background in her hand, but she didn’t know what Yu Linglong was going to do .
In the next moment, she smelled it .
There was a pungent smell in the air, which made her unable to open her eyes .
Mu s.h.i.+’s face suddenly changed, and her face was pale as a dead person’s in the cold moonlight .
“Acid…”
The petal-like lips smiled faintly . Yu Linglong seemed to be as casual as if she was pouring her a cup of tea, and the teapot in her hand slowly pressed against her—[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
“Don’t—” Mu s.h.i.+ let out a half-broken scream, which was severely chopped off .
The pointed spout of the teapot was tucked into Mu s.h.i.+’s mouth at this moment .
She could almost feel that the turbid liquid in the pot was flowing slowly, with the power to corrode everything, ready to be poured into her mouth anytime, anywhere .
“I’m doing this for the old lady . ” Yu Linglong’s movement stopped for a while, and she gestured to raise her hand and fall .
Mu s.h.i.+ was so frightened that she didn’t know where the strength came from, and she suddenly broke free of Yu Linglong’s restraint and shouted wildly: “No! It’s not me! I didn’t poison her! Forgive me—”
Yu Linglong smiled sarcastically .
“Did I say you poisoned her?” The teapot filled with water was smashed to the bed, and a few drops of liquid splashed out of the mouth of the kettle, and the splendid satin quilt was immediately burned . A small black hole exuded bursts of blue smoke .
