C535 Lycoramine (2/2)

Lian Ruyue held a dagger covered in blood and pulled the cloth out of Senior Servant Jin's mouth. She said, ”Tell me, what is Princess Xu's plan?”

A weak, cold smile appeared on Senior Servant Jin's face. ”I-I won't tell you. Yes, I wanted to kill you, but it had nothing to do with the esteemed. Don't even think about getting me to drag the esteemed mistress out.”

Lian Ruyue nodded, her hand playing with the bloodstained dagger. A cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips as she said, ”A hardhearted servant treats his master wholeheartedly. Truly touching.”

She raised her hand again and stabbed the dagger into Granny Jin's arm — —

”Ugh …” Senior Servant Jin only felt pain all over her body as it spasmed. Blood flowed out, dyeing her clothes and the ground red. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lian Rue in terror.

How could someone who wasn't even fifteen years old be so merciless? This was far beyond her expectations.

”Lian Ruyue has always had the good character to be a beautiful adult. Since you want to be completely loyal to your master, then I'll satisfy you!” She raised her dagger once again. Just as it was about to pierce into Senior Servant Jin's heart.

Senior Servant Jin was suddenly frightened to the point of begging for forgiveness. She hurriedly said, ”I'll say, I'll say.” She didn't expect that Lian Xiyue didn't have anything to fear.

”Speak.” Lian Ruyue's gaze was cold.

Xiao Rou arranged for Xiao Shan to wait at the fake mountain behind the Winter Palace. She did not know that I would kill the County Lord, so she had even planned to hand over the County Lord's personal clothes to Xiao Shan. This would allow the County Lord to marry into the Xiao family and become the young mistress.

Marry to the Xiao family?

”Heh, Xiao Rou really dares to think about it. Isn't she afraid that I will poison his family by poisoning their food when I come to their Xiao family?” Lian Ruyue continued to play with the dagger as she spoke. When Senior Servant Jin heard Lian Ruyue's words, he felt a chill in his heart.

”So, it was Xiao Rou who originally wanted to push me to Xiao Shan. However, you all had planned to kill me and then shift the blame to the Xiao family to conveniently strike at the backer of the Fourth Prince and remove the opponent for the Eighth Prince?” Lian Ruyue asked coldly.

”Yes, that's what it means.” Senior Servant Jin's face turned increasingly pale. On her thighs and arms, a large amount of blood flowed out. ”County Lord, save … save me …”

”Is this Three Swords Arrow meant by Consort Xian?” Lian Ruyue asked.

”No, that's right, it's the princess' idea. Originally, the consort only wanted to push you over to the Xiao family and marry you off to them, eliminating the eighth prince's thoughts of the county governor. However, the princess said that it would be too much of a waste of time, so it would be better to just kill you with one stroke.” Senior Servant Jin quickly said.

”Hello, Wei Ru …” Lian Meng Yue muttered the name, ”It's quite sinister.”

”County Lord, County Lord …” ”Let, let this servant go, this servant …” The blood that flowed out from Senior Servant Jin's body had almost completely soaked through her clothes.

Lian Ru Yue slowly stood up and said, ”If I let you go, who will let me go?” Today, if I were the same as before, I would have already become a ghost under your blade. ”

”You, you lied to me …”

”I didn't say I'd let you go …” Lian Ruyue turned around and left.

”Ugh …” When Senior Servant Jin saw the dagger stabbed into her chest, she widened her eyes in alarm as she looked at Leng Mei. Then, she tilted her head and closed her eyes, breathless.
