Only then did Cheng Jiayue become happy, and proudly wiped her nose: ”I have my own ways.”

Just as he finished this sentence, a heart-wrenching scream came from the courtyard not far away, a scream that could pierce through the clouds.

The scream was too sudden, Cheng Jiayue and Jiang Wan Yan shivered at the same time.

It seemed that his actions were quite vicious, Jiang Wanyan thought that it was probably Su Mulang who did this. The hatred for the massacre of the village was irreconcilable, and this assassin was also miserable. He kept his mouth shut for his master, not leaving even a corpse behind when he was about to die.

Jiang Wan Yan's heart tightened when she heard this. The matter of him wanting to settle the score with Su Mu Qing was completely forgotten by her. She suddenly thought of Cheng Jiayue who was scared witless at the Qing Ya Village, turned her head and asked with a strange expression, ”Why aren't you afraid? You were scared in the carriage yesterday. ”

Being exposed, Cheng Jiayue was flustered and exasperated, she stomped her feet: Who's there?! You are the one who is confused! I'm not afraid at all! ”Me.”

As he spoke till the end, he simply snorted and ignored Jiang Wan Yan.

Jiang Wan Yan still wanted to tease her more, but not far away, she heard Zhang Rui's voice calling out to her. A few servants came out with a towel wrapped around a person, the cloth was dark, and it was hard to tell how much blood had flowed from it, but he was definitely dead.

What a pity.

”Where are they?” Jiang Wanyan stopped Zhang Rui and asked. Zhang Rui was busy to the point that his head was drenched in sweat, he casually wiped away the sweat and said that the two dukes were inside, he could go in, the matter had already been settled.

Cheng Jiayue ran the fastest, passing Jiang Wanyan like a gust of wind and entered the room. Jiang Wan looked at the assassin that was carried far away, touched the wound on his hand and sighed.

People die for money, while birds die for food. He only wished that he could become a good family in his next life. At the very least, it would be a fortunate thing to be able to live a peaceful and happy life.

Jiang Wan Yan went in late, and the moment she went in, she immediately saw Su Mulang sitting there with a serious expression. Cheng Jiayue looked at Su Mu Qing from the left and right, obviously because no one was paying attention to her.

Seeing Jiang Wanyan arrive, Su Mu Qing reacted slightly and called out to her: ”Wanyan, where did you go?”

Su Mu Qing frowned, but Jiang Wan Yan could not understand the look in his eyes: ”He was very stubborn, and he didn't say anything. In the end, when he was about to die, he probably lost his consciousness and shouted 'King Cheng'. I think this matter is related to the King Cheng's Mansion, and not too different from what I guessed.”

King Cheng's Mansion? Wasn't that the First Prince?

”If it's really him, then it must be me. It has something to do with what happened before.” Su Mu Qing added. His eyes slightly narrowed as a complex expression appeared on his face.

Amongst the four of them, most likely Jiang Wan Yan was the only one who was still confused when she heard this. Even Cheng Jiayue knew why Su Mu Qing would say such words, causing her expression to immediately turn ugly as she scolded loudly, ”What more does Su Muchang want?! Is it not over?! ”
