Chapter 73: Isll Help You Get Your Revenge (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

Concubine Qu’ forehead furrowed when she saw senile Grandma Medicine. Clearly, it was not until Grandma Medicine stood up from the couch to slowly walk towards her that she recognized her.

Concubine Qu's pupils suddenly contracted and her face became somewhat hideous. Almost subconsciously, she blurted in a brittle voice, ”It's you? You're still alive?”

Grandma Medicine looked at Concubine Qu whose face had just changed, wryness tinged with bitterness glinting in her eyes which had witnessed vicissitudes of her life, ”I also hoped that I had died in that 'accident' that you arranged, so that I wouldn't have to watch my own younger sister take my life, my husband and my son away from me.”

Her remarks induced waves of shock in everybody's mind like a giant rock dropped into a still-surfaced lake...

Her own younger sister?

Taking her life away from her?

And her husband and son?

That old woman was referring to Elder Mistress? How was it possible? She was almost old enough to be Elder Mistress's mother.

However, Concubine Qu's face abruptly changed as if provoked, eyes ablaze with anger, ”What are you still standing there for? Take these people to the Yamen[1. Yamen is a government office in feudal China] right away. They dare to talk nonsense here. They're courting death.”

Hearing this, the guards were about to take action.

All of a sudden, with a gleam of cold light, a big saber was swung downwards.

”Clang!” the saber hit the marble ground, generating a shower of sparks. The after-effects of the impact rippled through the floor beneath everybody's feet.

”Whoever dares to touch her will lose his hands and feet,” her extremely callous and domineering voice was heard by everyone in the room.

Angry, Concubine Qu thundered, ”How dare you be so unruly in Murong Mansion? Kill them!”

Those guards' eyes became ferocious after hearing the order. They whipped out their swords and launched an attack on Yun Wu and Grandma Medicine.

With a cold in her eyes, Yun Wu moved sideways to the front of Grandma Medicine, swinging the saber laterally at those guards in an extremely uncanny manner.

”Bang, bang...” two ringing sounds of sabers dropping to the ground were heard.

Without any fierce moves, she cut off the arms of the two guards in front of the others with only one saber slash.

Watching blood gushing out of the wounds in their arms, the two guards who were at the front widened their eyes in horror and sharp pain instantly surged through their nerves, ”Ah... ”

Two pained screams were heard, horrifying the other guards behind them.

Concubine Qu's heart lurched, 'This teenage girl actually can... '

”Enough! All of you!” finally, Cloud Murong intervened, reprimanding.

Seeing that Cloud Murong stopped the guards, Concubine Qu looked at him with a displeased frown, ”Yun'er! You can't... ”

But before she could finish speaking, the look on his face scared her silent.

Cloud Murong's face, which had always been mild and steady, was now icy, unusually icy.

”Little Li, take Elder Mistress to the living room,” the order was given in a cold voice and nobody dared to disobey.

The handmaid beside Concubine Qu stretched out her hand to assist Concubine Qu who then got angry, eyes ablaze with anger, but she didn't disobey Cloud Murong's order in public. She pushed that handmaid aside, twitched her hand and led those guards out of the room.

The room returned to quietness, but the atmosphere was a little intense.

”What're you going to do about it? Before you answer, I'd like to make this straight – from now on, Grandma Medicine's issues are my issues. If anyone dares to bully her or have some kind of stupid ideas, then he or she will make an enemy of me.”

Originally, she had had no interest in intervening in their family issues, but since Grandma Medicine had once saved her life and the Murong family had happened to have offended her, she might as well push the boat along with the current and help Grandma Medicine get back what was rightfully hers, thinking of it as returning the favor she owed Grandma Medicine.

As regards why she had known Grandma Medicine's relation with the Murong Mansion, actually it hadn't been difficult for her to deduce. Apart from Grandma Medicine's unusual reactions to the Murong family, she had also accidentally found out an issue from the guard who had led the way.

All members of the Murong family bore a kind of special totemic symbol on them, and previously, she had accidentally saw one on Grandma Medicine's shoulder, which was the word ”wilderness”.

The Venerable Master of the Murong family's name was Wilderness Murong.

Her deductions and Grandma Medicine's reactions had added up to the answer.

This was also the exact reason why she had forced Cloud Murong to intervene.

All this aside, it was also the only way to save that small village of simplicity.

Since they had offended the Murong family, it was very unlikely that villagers of the small village could return to their previous peaceful life, so she might as well make this complicated situation even more complicated.

”Is this your original purpose?” without answering her question, Cloud Murong glanced at Grandma Medicine and then gazed at Yun Wu with a cold look in his eyes.

Smiling wryly, Yun Wu looked him in the eye, ”Sort of.”

Actually, there had been another reason...

”Even if what she said is true, it will be the Murong family's family issue. As an outsider, don't you think you are being a busybody?” staring at Yun Wu, Cloud Murong said.

Grandma Medicine's heart lurched when she heard his remarks. Did this mean that he believed her?

Yun Wu took out a handkerchief and started wiping the blood off the saber in a seemingly leisurely manner, ”I'm not interested in your family issue, but not long ago, I decided that I would regard Grandma Medicine as my own grandmother. I won't allow anybody to bully my relative.”

Those casual words were said in a highly arrogant and domineering tone.
