Chapter 1051: Escape II
Lady Yuan slowly walked toward Tian Qi.
Her steps were slow but heavy. Each step pounding into Tian Qi’s heart.
“Tian Qi, Housekeeper Tian.”
Lady Yuan picked up a knife from the table and walked to the side of Tian Qi’s body. She violently stabbed the knife into Tian Qi’s arm.
Severe pain caused Tian Qi’s body to twitch. “Lady Yuan, I really didn’t do it. You must believe in me.”
“Of course I know it wasn’t you who has caused my brother’s death.” Lady Yuan’s lips curled upward. “But, so what?”
“You...”
Tian Qi’s eyes widened.
She knew... but why?
“Tian Qi, do you still remember the You family?”
The beauty’s voice was very soft, but it caused Tian Qi’s heart to tremble.
“You... The You family? Gong City’s You family?
“It seems like you have yet to forget them. One year, you had led many soldiers to flatten the whole You family, robbing and stealing! If all of you had only robbed and left, perhaps then, I would still let it pass. But why did you all have to kill? Annihilate the whole You family?”
Lady Yuan’s eyes were red with anger.
She hated Marquis Zheng’s Manor. Hated everyone in it. Everyone deserved to die, every single one!
“You...” Tian Qi’s voice was laced with fear. “What is your relationship with the You family?”
Lady Yuan stabbed at Tian Qi’s arm again.
“The You family’s You Ye was the man I loved the most in this lifetime. It was all of you who had killed him and the whole You family!”
Tian Qi’s eyes were suddenly filled with panic.
He finally understood why Lady Yuan had intentionally framed those loyal subjects after entering the marquis’ manor. All of this was for revenge!
“No, it wasn’t me. It was the marquis and marchioness. They said that there was a spirit beast who could transform into a human in the You family and had ordered us to snatch it. I was just following orders!”
Lady Yuan snickered. “The marchioness is dead. The lackeys of the marquis have also been removed one by one. After this, it would be the marquis’ turn, followed by the young earl... I will never let a single person of the marquis’ manor off!”
Tian Qi’s was losing more and more blood. His face grew weaker and his panic-stricken eyes looked at the beauty in front of him—his heart cold.
He understood now, Lady Yuan would never let him off!
“Naturally, I know you would never cause Mu Yu’s death. If someone else has really killed him, it would be a huge help to me.” Lady Yuan’s gaze contained hatred. “Young Master Ye and I loved each other. Besides my elder brother, no one knew. However, in order to obtain greater power, he has offered me to Zheng Tianwu.
“But he was afraid that I would not forget Sir Ye, and even more afraid that Zheng Tianwu would know my pas. So, he betrayed Sir Ye, causing his death!
“Hahaha! Every single moment, I wished that he hadn’t died! But I understand what kind of woman Zheng Tianwu likes, so I pretend to be that woman in front of him, making him fall deeply in love with me. He would betray everyone and leave his loved ones for me, how could I let everything go to waste?
“Furthermore, if I have wanted to frame Mu Yu and he speaks about my past with Sir Ye before he dies, how could I still avenge Sir Ye? Fortunately, he has died out there. Nobody else knows about my relationship with Sir Ye!”
From the moment the You family ceased to exist, the seed of hatred had been growing in her heart, and it had now grown into a towering tree.
There was nothing she cared about anymore in this life. Giving herself to Zheng Tianwu was solely encouraged by her heart’s desire for revenge.
Tian Qi panicked badly. This woman was crazy, completely insane!
“Guards, someone come quick! Lady Yuan, she...”
