C463 save woman (2/2)
After Mu Ru Yue brought the woman up the stairs to the tea room, Jun Ru poured a cup of tea for the two of them and passed it to them. Mu Ru Yue looked at the Madam, who was slowly calming down after drinking some tea, and asked, ”Madam, how did you become like this? Are the people we came back with yesterday all right? Who exactly are those people who are chasing and killing you? ”
These questions from Mu Ru Yue felt as though it had stabbed into a sore spot, causing the woman's body to contract for a moment. Her face paled instantly as she looked at Mu Ru Yue, who was on the verge of collapse, and said, ”She's dead …” ”All dead.”
”What?” Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but stand up. ”You said those people are dead? ”What's going on?”
”I don't know, I don't know anything. Master Shangguan told us not to go home. They didn't listen, so they all left. They were thrown on the back mountain and burned.
I was afraid to go home, but... Husband, and Baby, too. They asked me where I was. ”
When the woman spoke to this point, she could no longer continue and started to cry. She could roughly guess what would happen next. The woman had not even returned home, so how could those people know where she was?
She was afraid that her family had met with an accident as well.
”What the hell is going on?” Mu Ru Yue's face darkened. She didn't expect that the people she painstakingly brought back would actually die in this city. They didn't die in the slave market when they were outside. Instead, they died inexplicably after returning to the Peony City.
How could he not be angry?
They were still fine yesterday, but they were still excited about the return trip back to the city. Mu Ru Yue couldn't forget the looks those people had when they entered the city. It was as if he could feel the joy of rebirth.
Mu Ru Yue loved that gaze, but what about now?
Mu Ru Yue's heart ached as she looked at the trembling before her eyes and couldn't even speak clearly.
”Let's silence them.”
Just as Mu Ru Yue was about to lose all her hatred for him, she heard Jun Ru's voice sounding out. He seemed to be deep in thought as he spoke.
”Kill him to silence him?” Mu Ru Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. These people … What do you know that you shouldn't know? As she was thinking, Mu Ru Yue thought back to the manager that had spoken to them about many things when they were underground.
Presumably, those things couldn't be spread out, right?
”Although the slavery system in the city is well-known, it cannot be exposed. You guys escaped from the slave market and destroyed my plan, so I have to take care of all of you.
The assassination of the crown prince was a huge matter, and they wouldn't let any of them go. Thus, the death of these commoners was within his expectations. As for this person, he actually managed to escape.
”Will you die if you speak less sarcastic words?” Murong Yue rolled her eyes at Jun Ru. She saw that the woman's expression had become even more unsightly. 'Jun Ru is still trying to goad me into doing that?'
However, Mu Ru Yue could understand a bit now that Jun Mo Xie was talking about this. If there were no surprises, then the culprit behind this must be the City Lord's Mansion, right? Qing Xun... Mu Ru Yue thought this name in her heart, puzzled.
This person thought that everyone else was a pawn, but in the end, they were all born in the new society. In that organization, everyone should be in the same pain, right? Why did he let this slavery continue?
Why... Do you still want to do such an unpleasant thing?
Mu Ru Yue couldn't come up with an answer no matter how hard she thought.
However, what she did not know was that human nature was originally like this. When she was harmed, she would feel that it was unfair. However, when they hurt others, she would also feel that this sort of system was very perfect.
”I am only speaking the truth, how can I say such sarcastic words? But come to think of it, when Princess Hua-Yang brought this woman here, had she thought of how to deal with her? But had she thought that if she had come to secretly harm the wangfei?
So many people have died, why is she the only one still alive? ”
