The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 82

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

 

Yu Linglong’s scream was bad. In a flash, a dozen people in blue had reached the carriage, and the men in black who were chasing them followed closely. The two groups of people immediately started fighting on the carriage.

Seeing this scene, several maids were frightened and dared not to run. Only Ling’er’s small figure guarded the carriage door, posing in a defensive posture, with wide eyes, ready to protect Lady Yu.

There was chaos on the mountain road, and the men in black acted mercilessly. For a while, blood was splashed, and every bit of blood on the mountain road was spilled. But the people in blue were no longer silent as before. They were all using desperate moves, screaming again and again, and soon there were a few blue figures hanging on the road.

The horse pulling the carriage was frightened. It shook its hooves and dashed from left to right in the crowd. Ling’er was swayed and unsteady. She was thrown off the carriage in a blink of an eye. Lady Yu was very calm inside the carriage. There was blood outside, and she was sitting inside the bumpy carriage, but she couldn’t make a sound.

The scared-faced coachman stubbornly pulled on the reins and shouted in horror. Unexpectedly, the horse listened to it but was not controlled at all, and went crazy.

Zhuiyue was a precious horse, but facing the situation calmly, Yu Linglong urged the horse forward, and ran to the side of the speeding carriage in a few steps, and shouted aloud in the noisy fighting: “Lady, are you alright?”

Lady Yu called from the carriage: “I’m fine, take care of yourself!”

The horse pulling the carriage rushed out of the crowd and finally calmed down under the tight reins of the coachman.

Seeing that Lady Yu’s situation had slowed down, Yu Linglong turned her head. Only a quarter of an hour after the man in blue had been killed, and the road was full of blue corpses.

The men in black were well-trained. After annihilating the enemy, they immediately gathered to the carriage and surrounded it in a blink of an eye.

Heavy murderous intent floated in the air, and the cold wind blew. These silent people in black suddenly gave birth to endless fear, like ghosts.

Yu Linglong raised the reins of the horse, and Zhuiyue raised his front hooves, jumping into the circle of men in black standing by the carriage.

Looking condescendingly at the people in black who surrounded her, Yu Linglong said coldly: “What do you want to do?”

Even though Yu Linglong was brilliant and incomparable, she couldn’t see the origin of these people. They were uniformly dressed, with extraordinary skills, fierce hands, and neat movements, but they did not act like officials in the government. Their entire bodies emitted both good and evil.

She knew that if she broke the good deeds of these people, it was very likely that she would be killed.

If they were killed on this remote mountain road, no one would know.

With Zhuiyue’s legs, it was very easy for her to escape alone, but when she was gone, what about Lady Yu and Ling’er!?

In her dictionary, there was no such thing as “escape,” and there was no possibility of abandoning them to escape!

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong clenched the reins. Her beautiful eyes were on guard, but she looked at the men in black without fear.

Unexpectedly, the men in black just surrounded them and remained motionless, neither attacking nor giving in.

Yu Linglong frowned slightly. What were these people doing?

Suddenly, the faces of all the people in black turned in one direction, as if waiting for something.

Yu Linglong looked sideways and saw that a long black figure appeared silently on the rock on one side.

He stood on a protruding rock, as tall and arrogant as a pine tree emerging from a broken rock. He wore a black robe that blew in the wind. On the corner of his clothes was an eagle embroidered with a silver thread that looked like it was flying in the wind.

Only then did Yu Linglong discover that the people in black who surrounded them also had silver eagle patterns on the corners of their clothes, so they were obviously unified.

The person standing on the rock against the wind was obviously their leader.

With her cold eyes narrowed, Yu Linglong raised her voice and said, “Who are you, your excellency?”

The man’s indifferent gaze fell onto Yu Linglong’s. A trace of surprise seemed to pass through his eyes, and his calmness was restored in a flash.

Only then did Yu Linglong clearly see what this person looked like. She saw his inky hair flying in the wind, but he was wearing a silver mask, and she couldn’t see his appearance clearly. The cold eyes and sharp corners of his lips set off the rigid lines of his face. His expression was cold, and his whole body was full of cold energy.

The man’s gaze swept across Yu Linglong and landed on the carriage.

The hard thin lips finally opened, and the man said in a deep voice, “Leave the carriage and we’ll let you go.”

Yu Linglong’s beautiful eyes were cold. What? They wanted them to leave the carriage!?

A pear-like cold and pretty face raised, and unceremoniously greeted the man’s flashing gaze. Yu Linglong’s voice was as indifferent as ice and snow: “That depends on you, whether you can!”

As soon as her voice fell, the people in black all around them took a big step neatly and uniformly, and the originally small encirclement became much narrower and more powerful.

Yu Linglong didn’t even look around, as if she hadn’t noticed the murderousness around her at all. She stared at the man on the rock with her eyes like the cold snow of December.

She knew that without this man’s order, the people in black around him would never act rashly, and that man was the key.

Her feet secretly withdrew from the stirrups. Yu Linglong concentrated her energy, slammed hard on Zhuiyue’s back, leaped forward, and flew to the man on the rock with incomparable dexterity.

To capture the thief, you must first capture the king. As long as this person was restrained, the people in black below were not afraid.

Yu Linglong was surprised, but the man seemed to be prepared. Seeing Yu Linglong in a red dress pounce on him, he turned slightly to his side and deftly avoided Yu Linglong’s lightning-fast attack.

As she missed, Yu Linglong twisted her waist and steadily landed on the rock. She had her next trick ready and was continuously attacking the man.

On the narrow rock, the two of them moved and dodged attacks, and in a blink of an eye, they had already fought dozens of moves. One was in black and one was in red, and in the fierce mountain breeze, it looked so breathtaking.

The more she fought, the more Yu Linglong felt secretly frightened. The man’s feet were calm and flexible, with fewer offensive moves and more defensive moves, so that she could take advantage of it. Obviously, she was very comfortable.

She secretly gritted her teeth. Yu Linglong kicked out the right leg, and while the man avoided it, she drew the dagger from her calf with her bare hands.

In the gloomy sky, a long, sharp light shone from the dagger in her hand. Like thunder and lightning, she quickly pierced at the man’s throat.

Seeing the light and flint, the knife would pierce him fiercely, but he didn’t dodge it. He waved away the exquisite dagger, and the blade stabbed the rock, and sparks splashed all over.

From the moment she drew out the dagger, the man’s eyes were full of excitement. This time he avoided Yu Linglong’s attack, and the man immediately yelled, “How dare you—”

The words behind him were swallowed abruptly. Under the man’s silver mask, his thin lips were pressed together tightly. Only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, as if quenched, staring straight at Yu Linglong.

A few strands of long hair fell in the howling mountain breeze. It was Yu Linglong’s sharp blade that cut off a lock of the man’s hair.

Yu Linglong was unscathed, but the man had his hair cut. The discerning person has their own judgment on whoever wins.

If you don’t fight for life and death, it will be like this.

The wind sounded fiercely, and her red jade-like robe flew up and down. She was standing prettily on the rock, like a big, blooming flower, unspeakably beautiful.

When the dagger was closed behind her, Yu Linglong raised her small chin and said coldly: “Now, can we go?”

The man’s eyes became colder, and there was a complex expression in his eyes. After a pause, he raised his hand downwards and signaled the men in black to leave.

Seeing the carriage slowly moving forward from the road with the men in black, Yu Linglong jumped down from the rock and landed directly on Zhuiyue. She urged the horse to move forward and guarded beside the carriage.

After experiencing the bloody battle just now, Zhuiyue seemed very irritable and hissed in the direction he came from frequently as if calling something.

Yu Linglong patted Zhuiyue’s neck gently, comforting him. It’s no wonder that Zhuiyue has been following Lord Xu. Wherever he has seen the blood of these killings, fear was inevitable.

To say nothing of horses, even these people have lingering fears. Everyone tacitly did not say a word; they just bowed their heads on the road and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong soon.

Seeing the group of people go further and further away, a man in black who was standing closer said in a low voice, “Commander —”

The man on the rock raised his hand to stop the words of his subordinate, and a pair of black eyes like dark, rolling clouds followed the direction of Yu Linglong and the others.

A line of bloodstains winding down the mountain road was instantly covered by the sand and pebbles lifted by the mountain wind until there was no trace of it.

The corners of the lips under the silver mask were slightly raised, revealing a cold smile.

We will meet again soon.

…

After hearing the news that Lady Yu was returning to the mansion today, even though Lady Mu Shi was ill, she still asked her servants to clean the mansion carefully, especially the Jingshan Hall where Lady Yu lived. The new furnishings were completely refurbished.

Mu Shi tried to lift up her sick body and bring the people from the mansion to the gate to greet Lady Yu, but she was shocked by the dusty group of people.

Yu Linglong’s face was frosty, and she didn’t say a word. The maids who followed were all ashen and panicked. What’s more terrifying was the carriage that Lady Yu was riding in. It was splashed with blood and looked shocking.

“What…what is this!?” Of course, Mu Shi didn’t dare to ask Yu Linglong directly. She looked at the maids beside the carriage, and her voice was terrified. “Where is the Lady? The Lady is fine, right?!?”

Seeing that her son’s big wedding was just around the corner if something happened to the old lady of the Yu family, this marriage probably wouldn’t happen.

The group went down the mountain in fear, and only when they saw home did they dare speak out. A woman cried out: “Madam, the servants almost couldn’t return—”

As soon as she shouted this sentence, Yu Linglong shouted back coldly: “Shut up!”

A group of people were scolded when they were crying. All the maids and women were tearful and looked at Mu Shi pitifully. In front of Yu Linglong, they did not dare to take a breath.

Ling’er quickly jumped out of the carriage and took out the footstool and put it away. Then she lifted the curtain and said softly, “Lady, please get out of the car.”

Lady Yu took Ling’er’s hand and got out of the car steadily. Seeing that the Lady was okay, Mu Shi’s heart returned to its place. She hurriedly greeted her and went to support her. “Lady, please slow down.”

Just as she stretched out her hand, Lady Yu slapped it back. It hurt Mu Shi so much that she looked at Mrs. Yu with a stunned expression. For a while, she did not stretch her hand or withdraw it.

Lady Yu said angrily: “You asked someone to take me down the mountain. You sent a group of old ladies and little girls, and you never thought what would happen if I ran into a robber? Did you expect me to die sooner??”

Standing at the gate, Lady Yu scolded her in front of everyone. She was very embarrassed, but she didn’t dare reply, so she lowered her head and let her scold her.

This was indeed her fault. She thought that since Lady Yu named Yu Linglong to pick her up, she just had to arrange it as usual, but forgot to arrange a guard.

First, she was hurt. It was inevitable to make some mistakes in her actions. Second, Lady Yu had a tough body and some good fists, so she didn’t worry too much about Lady Yu’s safety.

Besides, she’s an old lady. Who would rob her?

Mu Shi thought this, but she didn’t dare say it, so she lowered her head and turned sideways, carefully following Lady Yu into the mansion.

In the past three years since Lady Yu was absent from the house, Mu Shi was used to being a mistress who kept her word, but now she could only watch her words or look like an angry little wife.

Lady Yu was still angry, and when she sat in Jingshan Hall, she said, “Where is that kid, Yu Peng? He doesn’t even care about his mother who he hasn’t seen in three years. Where did he go now?”

Mu Shi didn’t even dare sit. She accompanied her carefully and said, “There is something wrong at the Gan house, the master had to take someone over to have a look.”

Lady Yu raised her brows. “The Gan house? What happened to the Gan house?”

Seeing that Lady Yu had diverted her attention, Mu Shi finally sighed in relief, and hurriedly replied: “I heard that the son of the Gan house has disappeared. I have already reported to the capital’s magistrate. Now the entire capital was searched, and they haven’t found him.”

Lady Yu frowned slightly: “If I remember, Lord Gan has only one son.”

Mu Shi said: “You remember correctly. Master Taifu only got a son when he was 40 years old, and now he is only thirteen years old.”

The two of them asked and answered questions here, and Yu Linglong over there was already a little impatient. She got up and said, “Lady, I’m leaving.”

Lady Yu looked at her. Her face had lightened a lot, and her voice was very concerned: “Linglong, you are also tired. Go back and rest first.”

Mu Shi was a little speechless. How did Lady Yu treat her so kindly? She was very kind to Yu Linglong, the daughter of a commoner.

This side was gossiping, and Lady Yu had already picked up the tea, and said in a low voice: “What the hell is going on in the Gan house? Tell me everything you know.”

…

Yu Linglong returned to Pinlan Garden. After taking a shower and changing clothes, she felt refreshed. When she came out, Xuan Cao had listened to Linger’s experience, and she was struggling with fear, almost shedding tears.

“Miss, next time you go out, you must remember to bring me. If you have any shortcomings, I will not be able to survive.”

Yu Linglong looked helplessly at the teary Xuan Cao: “Bring you? What can you do?”

Xuan Cao said confidently: “I can protect the lady!”

Yu Linglong glanced at Xuan Cao, and decided not to attack the girl’s loyalty, but changed the subject: “Let Ma Changgeng prepare a few eggs for me, raw, and some carrots.”

Xuan Cao was very puzzled: “Does the young lady want to cook? Do you want a servant to order the kitchen…”

Yu Linglong pulled up her wet hair, and casually pulled it into a bun with a hairpin: “It’s not cooking. Go get it ready and bring it in for me.”

Yu Linglong took the box of food packed by Xuan Cao and said, “Ling’er is going to rest. I want to go out for a while, and no one needs to follow me.”

Xuan Cao immediately became anxious: “What are you doing? Miss, where are you going? I will follow you…”

Yu Linglong sighed and tried to increase her patience: “I will walk around the house. Are you satisfied?”

Xuan Cao relaxed now. Seeing Yu Linglong walk out of the door, Xuan Cao chased her out uneasily and said, “Miss, please come back soon. I have prepared red dates and mushroom soup for you!”

Yu Linglong carried the box of food and said without looking back, “I see. I will drink it when I come back.”

Having been in ancient times for so long, she was still a bit unaccustomed to Xuan Cao’s overly sensitive ways, but she also had to admit that this little girl really took care of her in every possible way.

Lady Yu had just returned to the mansion, and the people under her obviously had things to do. At this moment, the backyard of the Yu Mansion was silent, and not a single person appeared.

Yu Linglong walked all the way to the backyard and took a long time to reach her destination.

This was the first time she had come to the stables of the Yu mansion. It was not very big, perhaps because General Yu was out all year round. There were no good horses in the stables. There were only a few ponies used to pull carts that slumped their head down to the ground and dozed off. Next to them were several large and small carriages in different conditions, among them the one that Lady Yu took back home today.

Here, Zhuiyue with his tall head and long legs appeared very prominently. Seeing Yu Linglong coming, Zhuiyue, who was lazily basking in the sun, immediately stood up, walked to the manger, and snorted excitedly at her.

After touching Zhuiyue’s shiny coat, Yu Linglong knocked the egg to the edge of the manger, fed them to Zhuiyue, and said softly, “Thank you for today.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

If it wasn’t for Zhuiyue’s courage, she would probably be thrown off the horse when the two groups of people were fighting; if it wasn’t for Zhuiyue’s spirituality, he wouldn’t be so connected with her, and he even understood her intentions with her every move.

She had snatched Zhuiyue from Lord Xu just to teach Lord Xu a lesson. Zhuiyue had been in the mansion for so many days, and she had almost forgotten of its existence. But after experiencing that fight on the mountain, she felt that Zhuiyue was indeed a rare precious horse.

Animals, like humans, need to be rewarded and cared for a little bit before they can sacrifice their lives for you next time.

Zhuiyue ate the eggs and rubbed Yu Linglong’s hand with his satin-like nose. Yu Linglong smiled slightly, took out a carrot, and fed it to Zhuiyue.

“Eat slowly, this is all yours.” Yu Linglong patted Zhuiyue’s neck, “Ling’er is right, you are really greedy.”

In the quiet afternoon, the cicadas seemed to be asleep, and their surroundings were quiet, without a trace of wind.

In the silence, there was a very soft sound of the door opening and closing, and Yu Linglong looked back alertly.

Was someone there?

Behind her was only a building where horse gear and sundries were stored. How could there not be a trace of a person?

Yu Linglong took a deep breath. She was too nervous. Wasn’t there someone in the stables of the Yu house?

Her gaze slowly retracted, but the next moment, her gaze stayed in one place, without moving for a long time.

The blood-stained carriage was parked next to the stables, and it was particularly eye-catching. This was the carriage that Lady Yu was riding in during the day. It looked like it had just been pulled back. Obviously, there hadn’t been time to clean it.

What attracted Yu Linglong’s eyes was not the carriage, but something under the carriage.

It was a small pool of red and black semi-coagulated matter, with a few flies flying back and forth. There was a bloody smell floating in the air, it was obvious that this was human blood, and it was fresh.

Yu Linglong remembered clearly that the carriage was ridden by Lady Yu, and there were only Ling’er and the coachman on it. None of these three were injured in the fight on the mountain.

So where did this bloodstain come from?

Her clear eyes gradually tightened. Yu Linglong leaned over slightly, drew out her dagger, and gripped it in her hand.

With light steps, her figure was as light as a leopard, and she approached the junk room without making a sound.

Her plain white fingertips gently pushed open the old door. In this deadly afternoon, the tattered door made an ear-piercing sound due to disrepair, and it finally opened slowly.

The room was covered in dust. In the thick dust on the ground, a large area of ​​crawling marks were particularly obvious, and the bloodstains were mixed in, making it even more conspicuous.

Someone was actually there!

Yu Linglong squeezed the dagger tightly. She followed the mark guardingly and walked to a pile of stacked wooden boards, where the bloodstain disappeared.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Linglong swiftly jumped forward and rushed directly to the place blocked by the plank, only having time to see the blue figure on the ground. The dagger in her hand was swung accurately and stopped at the person’s throat.

Her lips opened slightly, and she whispered softly, “Don’t move!”

When she raised her eyes, her gaze fell into a pair of narrow eyes.

The man in front of her wore the same cyan shirt as the group of people in blue who had been killed on the mountain. His eyes were sharp, his nose was high, and his thin lips were lightly pressed. His brows were a little red, giving him a pale and bloodless face. There was an inexhaustible evil added to it.

At this moment, a cold dagger was pressed against his throat, but his face showed no sign of panic. He just glanced at the dagger carelessly, and then looked up at Yu Linglong.

“You’re skilled. I didn’t even hear your footsteps.”

Yu Linglong snorted: “Who are you!?”

The man slowly raised his arms, resting them on the back of his head, and looked at Yu Linglong for a while: “You don’t know?”

Yu Linglong’s dagger was sent forward mercilessly, and firmly controlled the man’s throat: “If you don’t tell me, I will kill you.”

The man’s eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Yu Linglong. His voice sounded low and dull because of excessive blood loss: “If you don’t know, why are you holding a knife at me?”

Yu Linglong’s gaze fell on the man’s body, and she saw large bloodstains on his thighs and on his chest. She could not clearly see his back; maybe there were some there. She knew only by the blood that kept pouring out. There was no way this man could fight back.

With a cold smile, Yu Linglong slowly retracted the dagger and stood up.

“It doesn’t matter if you won’t say it. You can just wait for death here!”

Years of experience allowed her to see at a glance that if the injury on this man’s body was left untreated, he would soon lose too much blood and die.

Seeing her turning around and about to leave, the man’s expression changed slightly: “You really don’t know me?”

Yu Linglong’s mouth lifted into a sneer: “Who do you think you are? Do you think everyone in the world will recognize you?”

This man was too narcissistic. How famous can he be?

Yu Linglong kept walking and walked straight out, obviously not planning to worry about this nosy person.

The man’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down a few times, and finally, he whispered when Yu Linglong opened the door: “Girl, give me some water.”

Yu Linglong looked back at him but said nothing.

The man instantly understood what Yu Linglong meant, and a helpless smile appeared on his enchanting face: “My name is Feng…Xuan…yuan.”

He uttered his name word by word, and the man’s eyes were fixed on Yu Linglong’s face as if he was looking for something.

Yu Linglong nodded blankly, turned, and walked out.

She quickly brought in a small bucket of water and put it on the ground. Feng Xuanyuan’s thin lips were pressed tightly, and he tried to sit up, holding the bucket and drinking.

Yu Linglong looked at his back. The wound there was even more hideous, and his clothes were almost completely torn up, revealing a large number of knife marks beneath it. She really didn’t know how the man lying on the ground was pretending to be casual.

Feng Xuanyuan drank for a long time before finally quenching his thirst. He gritted his teeth and slowly took off his blue shirt, picked up the water in the bucket, and washed his wounds.

Yu Linglong watched his movements motionlessly, obviously not planning to step forward to help.

Yu Linglong didn’t speak until she saw Feng Xuanyuan tearing his clothes into strips and trying to bandage them up, “If you do this, the wound will become infected.”

With such a serious injury, on such a hot day, and without any medication, within three days, the wounds on this man’s body will be severely infected.

Feng Xuanyuan’s forehead hurt so badly that his forehead was full of cold sweat, but a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Then will you help me?”

Yu Linglong was very direct: “I can help you, but what good do you have for me?”

Feng Xuanyuan raised his sharp eyebrows: “If you know me, you will know what is good.”

Yu Linglong sneered. This guy was still sounding her out. She was very suspicious of him.

Looking at the man’s temperament, it was obvious that his identity was not vulgar, but she didn’t care about his identity, nor was she interested.

Yu Linglong returned to the room, quickly grabbed some medicine and some clean cloth strips, and threw them to Feng Xuanyuan: “Wrap the wounds and leave quickly.”

A trace of anger flashed through his narrow eyes. Feng Xuanyuan took the cloth strips and said coldly: “I don’t want to trouble you, girl. I will leave soon.”

Yu Linglong looked at him condescendingly. This man put on a sour face for someone like she was attacking him?

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong was angry: “Huh? You don’t want to trouble me? Then don’t hide under my carriage and follow me into the city, let alone leave so many brothers to die for you!”

How was he so arrogant? Had it not been for so many people in blue to shed blood to cover him, could he have hidden under the carriage and avoided the gaze of the people in black!? In this situation, he was very proud. Was it true that people all over the world have to be used to him?

The sharp words pierced Feng Xuanyuan’s body with a sudden tremor. His snow-white teeth bit his bloodless thin lips, and his evil face was full of pain.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: “…There are some things that are more important than being alive.”

Yu Linglong sneered: “Since you want to live, don’t put on an arrogant face.”

A tragic death was always easy, but a humble life was the hardest. Now that we have chosen this path, we must pay the corresponding price.

Hostility flashed across his face. Feng Xuanyuan stared at Yu Linglong’s face, paused for a long time, and finally whispered: “Please, girl, save my life.”

Yu Linglong was silent for a moment, and said, “Hide here first. I will arrange for you to leave as soon as possible.”

Just as she was about to turn around, Feng Xuanyuan suddenly asked: “What’s your name?”

Yu Linglong met those slender black eyes and said word by word: “I’m saving you only because you can’t die here, otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble for me.”

She didn’t want to take care of the situation. After all, this man followed her carriage into the Yu Mansion. Just looking at the skill of the man in black today, she knew that the two parties were entangled. This was the situation today.

Feng Xuanyuan was stunned.

Perhaps in his experience, there had never been a person who dared to treat him so scornfully, but the petite woman in front of him seemed to not treat him lightly, and even refused to tell him her name.

A strange color flashed across his eyes. Feng Xuanyuan looked at Yu Linglong’s back, but after all, he did not speak.

Just as Yu Linglong closed the door panel behind her, she heard a burst of laughter from a child: “Drive, drive, ride the horse!”

Slightly startled, she followed the voice, but she saw a boy beside the manger waving a willow branch in his hand, whipping the small bench under the seat, and kicking his legs as if he was riding a horse.

It turned out to be Yu Weiyuan. Why was he here?

Seeing her appear, Yu Weiyuan threw away the whip in his hand and ran over excitedly: “Hey, why are you here? Are you here to visit the horses?”

Yu Weiyuan was only seven years old and ignorant. He only knew that Yu Linglong was his older sister, but he didn’t know that Yu Linglong was a character that no one would dare to offend in the Yu house.

In his mind, nothing was more important than playing.

Lifting his chubby fingers, he pointed at Zhuiyue in the manger. Yu Weiyuan raised his face and looked expectantly at Yu Linglong: “Pick me up!”

It wasn’t a commanding tone. Yu Weiyuan was just being pampered by Mu Shi, and there was this natural instruction when he spoke as if people in this world should do things according to his wishes.

Yu Linglong didn’t bother to care about the child and saw that there was no one around, so she raised her foot and left.

Yu Weiyuan didn’t care about it. Seeing Yu Linglong was about to leave, he grabbed Yu Linglong’s dress and said, “Hey, I’m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?”

Yu Linglong frowned. The expression on her face became severe involuntarily: “Let go!”

Yu Weiyuan stubbed his neck and said loudly, “Don’t let go, hurry up and pick me up to ride the horse!”

Yu Linglong had never had much patience. Seeing Yu Weiyuan’s little hand holding onto her tightly, she stretched out her bare hand and unceremoniously twisted Yu Weiyuan’s ear!

She didn’t care what kind of temper this little guy had, anyway, she was not used to his problems!

Yu Weiyuan suffered some loss, and immediately released Yu Linglong’s hand, and started crying with a curl of his mouth: “Wah, how dare you hit me! I will let my mother take care of you!”

After hearing this, Yu Linglong added a few points to the strength in her hand: “Oh, you are quite capable!”

Yu Weiyuan screamed in pain. Yu Linglong thought he was afraid of her, so she let go: “Go back to your own yard. This is not your place to play in.”

Unexpectedly, Yu Weiyuan didn’t listen to her at all. As soon as Yu Linglong let go of his ear, he immediately sat down on the ground neatly, rolling around and crying. He was apparently already familiar with this kind of trick.

“Wahhh, you’re bullying me, wahhh!”

Yu Linglong’s willow eyebrows frowned slightly. This young boy was really troublesome!

A white, jade-like hand grabbed Yu Weiyuan’s collar and easily lifted the little guy who was lying on the ground. Yu Linglong coldly faced him and pulled Yu Weiyuan out of the stable.

“It hurts so much! You let me go, oh ooh—” Yu Weiyuan had long been used to being slapped when others couldn’t help him. Who knew that this sister didn’t follow him at all. He only felt that he was lifted by his collar and his buttocks were kicked really hard.

“Go home and cry!” Yu Linglong pointed at Yu Weiyuan, who was rubbing his butt with one hand and wiping tears with the other, and her voice was full of impatience, “Let me see you again next time. If you are here, I will beat you until your skin breaks!”

Yu Weiyuan cried with so much pain. Her face was like a kitten’s, but he didn’t dare to provoke this sister anymore, clutching his butt and limping away.

Yu Linglong didn’t think she was bullying a child. This kind of child was so spoiled by others that he wants what he wants, and thinks that the whole world owes him and everyone has to let him do whatever he wants. If anyone doesn’t follow him, they are the biggest bad guy in the world.

She didn’t care about this. The others were used to him, but she was not used to it, especially in the case just now. If Yu Weiyuan discovered that there was a person hidden in the junk room, it would be a really bad thing.

Thinking of the man in blue who she didn’t know where he came from, Yu Linglong looked solemn and gradually accelerated her pace.

There was still a lot to do tonight.

…

On this summer night, the heat of the day had gradually dissipated, and the insects sang briskly. The wind blew in from time to time, bringing a little coolness.

Yu Linglong didn’t want to appreciate such a leisurely night.

Although there were many subordinates in Pinlan Garden, she could only trust Xuan Cao and Ling’er. With the three of them, could she quietly send the seriously injured blue man out of the Yu house?

This was the first time since she came to the ancient times that she felt that there were too few people under her.

As she was looking for someone to push all the maids who were on the way back to the room and instruct them not to be allowed out, Yu Linglong secretly called Xuan Cao and Ling’er to make them do things as instructed.

Sitting in the room alone, she felt a little worried. Can these two little maids get things done? What if there was an accident?

She wasn’t afraid that people in the Yu Mansion would know it, but the people in black who were of unknown origin acted secretly and ruthlessly today, which really made her uneasy.

The cool evening breeze blew in from the carved window panes, blowing the candles out every now and then, and it seemed a bit cold at night.

Suddenly, there was a faint pop in the room, and an unknown hidden weapon flew in quickly from outside the window. The swaying candlelight was instantly extinguished, and Yu Linglong suddenly turned around: “Who’s there?”

In the darkroom, a long, dark figure suddenly appeared, with his face hidden in the dark, and indistinguishable. It was just that the repelling breath was so obvious.

With a cold snort, Yu Linglong slowly got up: “It’s a man, just come out with integrity! Why are you acting so sneaky!?”

As soon as her voice stopped, a man’s calm and steady voice sounded in the room: “You are so courageous.”

This voice seemed to be familiar, and Yu Linglong thought about it for a moment, and then she knew who came.

Knowing the purpose of this person, Yu Linglong was relieved. She took a seat again and said lightly: “Thank you. I have always been very courageous. I thought you already knew.”

The man’s figure moved slowly and walked to the bright spot in the room. Moonlight projected in through the window, shining on the man’s face, and the silver mask glowed with a gloomy light. A layer of cold, hazy air added to the whole body of the black-robed man.

“Since you know it is me, then you should understand why I came here.”

In the faint moonlight, Yu Linglong added some tea to her teacup, and took a sip: “Sorry, I don’t know why you came.”

There were several thoughts flashing through her mind. The man in black should have discovered that Feng Xuanyuan was missing when he was collecting the bodies on the mountain. According to her guess, those people in blue clothes were willing to give their lives to fight for Feng Xuanyuan’s chance to escape. Feng Xuanyuan must be important to them.

Similarly, for the men in black, Feng Xuanyuan should also be an important target to hunt down. This man’s visit late at night must also be because of Feng Xuanyuan’s disappearance.

On the mountain road, there were only three groups of them. The blue people have all been killed, so the missing Feng Xuanyuan could only be hidden in the carriage from the Yu house, taking advantage of the chaos to get down the mountain. This result was easy to infer.

But she couldn’t admit it. Once she did, Feng Xuanyuan would definitely die. She didn’t care about the life of this strange man, but in this way, she was bound to be involved in this dark whirlpool.

What she had to do now was to send Feng Xuanyuan out of the Yu house as soon as possible, and from then on, they would be irrelevant to passers-by.

Therefore, when the black-clothed man pressed on, she did not hesitate to deny it.

But obviously, the man did not believe her.

In the deep eyes, there seemed to be heavy dark clouds rolling, and the man said coldly: “So, you want to save him?”

He did not ask her where Feng Xuanyuan was. Perhaps he had already determined that Feng Xuanyuan had been hidden by Yu Linglong.

She was silent but unflinching. In the darkness, her face was astonishingly white, as if shrouded in hazy silver light, and her bright eyes flashed with fine cold light, and she met the man’s gaze. At that moment, the moonlight suddenly faded outside the window.

The black-clothed man couldn’t get Yu Linglong’s answer. His big hand gradually clenched, and his knuckles cracked, full of threatening power.

“Do you know who he is!?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
