Chapter 329 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 13 (2/2)

After all, one had to take responsibility for their own actions.

“Jun Liyou!” The Crown Princess shrieked. “What do you want? Are you rebelling?! Ling Yue, are you in cahoots with her?! Release me! What do you two want?!”

“You drugged me.” Ling Yue ignored the Crown Princess’ shrieking. ‘Since she dares to bring this woman here, it means she has a way to deal with the people outside.’

“Release me! I am the Crown Princess!”

“What drug? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“Ling Yue, release me! I’ll give you whatever you want as long as you release me! I’ll make you my first husband! When I ascend the throne, you’ll be Emperor!”

“You’re still thinking of ascending the throne? In your dreams.” Shi Sheng spoke frostily. ‘Do you really think the FL’s here to be a layabout? She’s got ambition, okay?’

The Crown Princess glared hatefully at her. “Jun Liyou, just what do you want?!”

“All I did was pummel you. And then tied you up.”

‘Pummelling me and tying me up?! “All I did”?!’

The Crown Princess was so angered, her breathing quickened and her face turned green.

“Did you drug me at the banquet?” Ling Yue asked once more.

The Crown Princess’s eyes swivelled in their sockets, as she seemed to think of something. She anxiously spoke, “Did the Ning Princess do anything to you? As long as you release me, I’ll help avenge you! I won’t hold this against you; you’ll still be the future Emperor!”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Does this kid have a mental problem?’

The Crown Princess’s words had indirectly confirmed her involvement.

Ling Yue’s gaze lowered.

He tightened his grip on the sword and raised it high. His sleeve made a beautiful arc, as the sword whistled through the air and plunged accurately into the Crown Princess’s chest.

“…Oof.” The Crown Princess’s voice halted, disbelief written in her eyes. ‘All I did was drug him…and he actually killed me for it.’

Even till the very end, she still didn’t know what she’d done wrong.

In this world, you can’t just pretend like nothing happened after you fail at something. Since it was done, you should be prepared for the consequences—no matter the severity. These are the rules.

Shi Sheng went over to take her sword back. “The lil priest is fine. You don’t have to listen to them. Follow me back.”

Ling Yue slowly lifted his head to look at her. The killing intent in his limpid eyes faded, only to be replaced by an inexplicable emotion. ‘She knows everything…’

Ling Yue shifted his gaze from her face and replied calmly, “Since they want a Heaven’s Ritual, I can’t disappoint them now, can I?”

After a slight pause, Ling Yue asked, “Is Gu Su okay?”

“Dunno.” ‘Who wants to bother with that brat? The only reason I rescued him was for Ling Yue.’

“Please help me take care of him for a few days.” Ling Yue requested sincerely.

Shi Sheng looked at him. Ling Yue didn’t know what nerve he’d touched on, but her only reply was a forceful harrumph.

Ling Yue, “…”

Since Ling Yue wouldn’t leave with her, Shi Sheng could only return with the Crown Princess’s corpse in tow. After disposing of the body, Shi Sheng leisurely made her way back to her residence.

It appeared Dai Yue had some form of GPS system planted on Shi Sheng…she had only just stepped foot into the residence when the former managed to find her. “Your Excellency, the little priest wants to see Master Ling Yue, and he won’t listen when I try to persuade him otherwise.

“Just use meds and put him to sleep, then.” Shi Sheng spoke naturally. ‘What am I(bbb) keeping you people for if you come to me(bbb) for every little thing? You guys don’t even look good as decorations!’

“Your Excellency…” ‘…that’s child abuse.’

Thinking of Ling Yue’s words, Shi Sheng waved a hand irritably. “Take me over to have a look.”

After Gu Su had woken up, he’d begun raising all hell, demanding to see his Senior Brother. Dai Yue and Ying Yue really had no way to deal with him.

“I want to see Senior Brother!”

Accompanying this shout, a figure dashed out of the room and slammed right into Dai Yue, who had been walking at the front.

Dai Yue caught him, saving Gu Su from taking a spill.

“I want to see Senior Brother! Let me see Senior Brother!” Gu Su struggled against her grip, wanting to run outside.

But Dai Yue didn’t dare to let him go. After all, her lady was standing right behind her.
