”A clean slate, let's grant you Lady Dong's last wish, a cup of poisoned wine!” ”Bury it!” The Ninth Master looked at Dong Qing'er with reverence, and finally issued his order.
He did not bring Dong Qing Er to justice as he had agreed with the Jun Family's Ancestor, and let her experience the pain of imprisonment. He had given her poisoned wine in accordance with her will, in order to let her die with dignity; he had buried her with the last of his respect for the enemy.
The news of Dong Qing'er's death then spread throughout the entire House of Marquis Zhenyuan, and Ximen Crane's corpse was hung high up in the sky on the memorial archway of the house of Marquis. There was a conspicuous blood-red warning: ”If anyone dares to look down on the godly might of the house of Marquis Zhenyuan again, this shall be the proof of this — the Ninth Lord declares!”
Qi Jiabao's heart nearly jumped out when he saw the corpses of Xi Men He and Dong Qing Er! He secretly rejoiced. Luckily, he was not the one who informed Xi Men He, otherwise, Dong Qing Er's fate would be the same as his!
Following Dong Qing'er's example, Qi Jiabao's Marquis Mansion finally quieted down.
The Ninth Master had become famous because of the incident with the Ximen Crane. He had spread his fame all over the continent like a wind. In a short period of time, his reputation had gone out of his way! With the protection of the Ninth Master, no one dared to provoke the Marquis' Mansion.
However, not everyone dared to be the person who pulled the teeth out of the tiger's mouth, such as the current crown prince, Yi Qian!
After the incident with Ximen He, the Marquis' Mansion had received wave after wave of guests. Some were openly poaching, while others were secretly trying to curry favor with them. This made the late Che Lingjun feel infuriated!
Seeing Guan Xiaoyu wearing the fox mask every day and changing into the elegant men's clothing, openly meeting people who came to 'Ninth Master' with all sorts of motives, Che Lingjun's white teeth almost broke from clenching them!
At this moment, hiding in the side door, Che Lingjun was staring at Guan Xiaoyu, who was happily chatting with the visiting nobleman. He felt the idea of Guan Xiaoyu pretending to be ”Ninth Master” and completely destroying the whole world's idea of bullying the Marquis' Mansion was truly a joyful, exasperating, and helpless rotten idea!
Today, the person who came looking for him was the current crown prince of the Eastern Palace, Yi Qian.
The moment he sat down, he invited him in with sincerity, ”Ninth Elder, I heard that you are a talented advisor, and I'm in urgent need of a master like you. I don't know if with my status, I can get you to help out?”
Guan Xiaoyu did not expect the crown prince to be so direct. Her hand holding the teacup slightly paused, and her eyes that were exposed outside her mask calmly sized up the crown prince.
He saw that this crown prince was dressed in luxurious clothing, and he wore a simple yet reserved crown with a dark dragon pattern on it that could display his noble identity. His appearance was not inferior to Pan An and Song Yuliang. It was actually a little familiar!
Guan Xiaoyu sipped her tea, and when she raised her head again, she had already remembered who this crown prince looked like. He looked like Che Lingjun! This crown prince looked very similar to Che Lingjun! However, there was still a sense of fear between the eyes of a boy and a man on the other side of the crown prince's face. No matter how much he tried to disguise it, he could not conceal the hostility on his face!
Only someone like her, who had been constantly on the brink of life and death and had been looked at with the eyes of someone who had killed countless times, would understand how vicious she was.
After observing the overall image of the crown prince Yi Qian, Guan Xiaoyu concluded that this was not a simple role! Moreover, she was certain that he was the same type of person as her!
People all say that similar objects gather together and appreciate each other. Guan Xiao Yu, on the other hand, felt extreme disgust the moment she saw Yi Qian. She was a high and mighty CEO in the modern world. She was domineering! Powerful! To do so, one had to act like a unique and unsurpassable existence, or else he had to put all the possible factors that could make him into a normal being in the bud!
This ancient person, Yi Qian, had actually taken the path that she was about to take, he was simply looking for death! She still clearly remembered the famous quote from her previous life — walking the path of others, leaving others with nowhere to go!
Guan Xiao Yu took another sip of tea, her eyes flashed with an uninferior ruthlessness, thinking, Yi Qian, ah Yi Qian, who told you to meet me, since you've met me, then you can only be cannon fodder!
”Your Highness, I am not an easy person to promise. Please forgive me for taking such a long time to consider.” Guan Xiaoyu gently swirled the teacup in her hands as she spoke with a calm and collected expression. She didn't appear to be bowing or faking anything because of her identity.
When the crown prince saw this, he was slightly annoyed and thought to himself, This Ninth Master doesn't think much of me. I will definitely let him have a taste of my suffering!
