Liu Rumei and the others didn't stay long in the yamen and were about to return to the Prince Guo'an's Mansion.
In the shadows, a pair of sinister eyes watched Liu Rumei and the others. The face was full of ferocious hatred. The right hand subconsciously tightened the dagger hidden in the sleeve. For some unknown reason, the corner of the mouth curved into an arc.
At this moment, Yun Xi yawned lazily and tugged at Liu Rumei's hand. "Sister, why go back so early? How about we go out and have some fun?"
Hearing this, Sixi's eyes also lit up a bit. She wished Liu Rumei would nod immediately. As a maid in the Prince Guo'an's Mansion, she rarely had the chance to go out. Only when she followed Liu Rumei could she go out for a stroll occasionally. The other maids in the mansion were extremely envious of her!
Liu Rumei looked down at Yun Li beside her and softly said, "What about Yun Li? Do you also want to go out and play?"
Yun Li wore a shy smile on his face. "Yun Li will follow sister. Wherever sister goes, Yun Li will go!"
Liu Rumei smiled gently, raised her hand and stroked his head. After a moment of thought, she softly said, "Since that's the case, let's go pick lotus seedpods near the Baiwei Zhai. We might not be able to eat them in a few days."
"Call Hengniang and A Nan to go with us!"
Hearing this, a flash of ecstasy crossed the eyes of Yun Xi and the other two.
Ye Zhe watched Sixi's crescent - shaped smiling eyes and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. She was really a glutton!
The group walked towards the Youyuan Inn full of joy, but a middle - aged woman bumped into them head - on.
Yun Li, with his sharp eyes, saw the dagger in her sleeve. A cold glint immediately flashed in his eyes. Before the middle - aged woman bumped into them, he had already stepped in front of Liu Rumei.
Yun Xi quickly understood what was going on. He actually took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed mercilessly at the middle - aged woman's face.
The middle - aged woman didn't expect that Yun Xi and Yun Li knew martial arts. She could only dodge to the side, but was inevitably scratched on the face by the dagger in Yun Xi's hand.
Strangely enough, there was not a single drop of blood oozing from the middle - aged woman's face!
Seeing that her attack had failed, the woman took a deep look at Liu Rumei, gritted her teeth and quickly left.
Sixi was stunned for a moment by this sudden change. "What's going on?"
Ye Zhe nodded secretly. They hadn't let the prince down. Although their skills seemed like mere showy moves at first glance, they were still sufficient!
Liu Rumei was frightened by the actions of Yun Xi and the other. She quickly lowered her head and pulled the two in front of her. "Are you hurt?"
She only saw the dagger in the woman's hand when Yun Li made his move!
Yun Xi and his brother immediately shook their heads. "Liu Liu, brother and I are very powerful now!"
A touch of shyness also appeared on Yun Li's face. "We can protect sister!"
Seeing the two brothers like this, Liu Rumei felt a warm feeling in her heart. She softly said, "Sister has Ye Zhe to protect her. He won't let anything happen to sister. Remember to protect yourselves next time."
Yun Xi grinned. "Got it."
But who was this person? Could it be someone sent by the Xu family? But why was the Xu family acting so quickly?
A cold glint also flashed in Ye Zhe's eyes. He suddenly appeared and said indifferently, "The woman was wearing a human - skin mask just now. I've already sent someone to chase her!"
Liu Rumei nodded. After this interruption, they lost the mood to go pick lotus seedpods.
So they didn't go to the Youyuan Inn and went straight back to the mansion.
Mo Liandi hadn't returned yet. After they returned to the West Courtyard, Ye Zhe showed up for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.
...
Xue Jingjia stood in the room, full of uneasiness and constantly looking out of the window.
The night was gradually approaching, and the full moon in the sky had floated up from the darkness. A little bit of dim light scattered on the small courtyard.
Not far away, a figure staggered towards the small courtyard. The figure was covered in blood, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.
He entered the small courtyard in a sorry state, closed the door, and then heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He took off the damaged human - skin mask on his face, revealing his pale face. Looking at the full moon in the sky, a touch of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
He had originally thought that by getting rid of Liu Rumei, he could get Jiajia back to the Sima Mansion. But he didn't expect that those two kids would be so capable. They had disrupted his plan! And he never thought that Mo Liandi would send someone to follow that bitch!
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with coldness!
Hearing the noise outside the door, Xue Jingjia immediately pushed the door open. A smell of blood instantly assailed her nose. "You're injured?"
The man couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Yes. Jiajia, don't worry. Father will get you back."
But Xue Jingjia clenched her fists. Her eyes were full of coldness. What a useless person! He couldn't even handle such a small thing!
Seeing Xue Jingjia's silence, the man endured the pain in his body and stepped forward, wanting to hug her into his arms. But unexpectedly, a cold dagger mercilessly stabbed into his chest.
"Jiajia..."
Xue Jingjia's eyes were full of calmness, just as calm as when she had dismembered the servant as she had ordered that year. It inexplicably made the man feel extremely scared. "Jiajia, why..."
He was her father after all!
Xue Jingjia sneered. "Useless thing. You can't even handle such a small thing. What's the use of you? Since you can't solve it, I'll have to do it myself!"
Looking at Xue Jingjia in front of him, the man's face was full of disbelief. He was actually going to die at the hands of his own daughter!
As if sensing that he wasn't completely dead, Xue Jingjia stabbed a few more times fiercely until the man stopped breathing.
The scarlet blood made her pink dress look extremely gaudy. Xue Jingjia had a strange smile on her face. She was the eldest miss of the Sima Mansion, not the daughter of this low - class person!
She wanted to be the princess of Prince Guo'an. Whoever dared to compete with her, she would kill. Ning Yan'er was no exception!
The next day.
The sky was a bit cool. A extremely sorry - looking figure staggered into the capital city.
The person's face was pale, with wounds on the body. One of the shoes on the feet was lost at some point, but he still staggered towards the Sima Mansion.
The guards at the door saw this and quickly stopped the person. "Who are you?"
The person's eyes were slightly red and his face was extremely pale. "I'm Xue Jingjia! I have something important to report to father!"
Hearing this, the guards at the door looked at each other and then quickly went to inform Xue Changsheng!
Coincidentally, Xue Zhan was also there today. When he heard the news that Xue Jingjia had returned, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
