CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 368: THAT YUAN FAMILY GIRL, I WANT HER DEAD

Is everything fine?

How could she be fine?

Her fiancé, that "elegant as jade, unparalleled in the world" kind of man, had betrayed Daxia and embraced an enemy nation. What was she supposed to do now?

Chase after him?

Even if she chased him to Great Yin, what kind of attitude would Mu Lin have towards her?

As a transmigrator, Sheng Xueyi was very clear about one thing: in matters of love, whoever takes the initiative first loses.

Sheng Xueyi’s initial thought was to appear when Mu Lin was down and out, thus occupying a special place in his heart.

But now, since Mu Lin had gone to Great Yin, it was certainly not just to escape Daxia; he was almost certainly seeking revenge with Great Yin’s assistance.

With Mu Lin’s talent, he would definitely thrive in Great Yin. The noble ladies, even princesses and county princesses there, would probably have their eyes on him.

With such a situation, even if Sheng Xueyi found Mu Lin, what could she do?

"Damn it!"

"Why is everything always so difficult?"

Sheng Xueyi couldn’t understand.

Having a special space and being a transmigrator, she should have been favored by the heavens, but to her astonishment, everything was going wrong.

Her mother died early, making her live humbly in the Sheng Family.

She had a fiancé, a once-in-a-lifetime kind of man, yet before they could marry, his family fell on hard times.

Her schemes and plans were repeatedly failing.

"Mrs. Wu, can you help me with something?"

Sheng Xueyi suddenly turned to Mrs. Wu beside her, spoke in a deep voice, with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Miss, just say it. As long as this servant can do it, I will do it even if it costs my life!"

"Mrs. Wu, if you help me with this, your debt to me will be completely cleared. If you wish to stay by my side, I’ll take care of you in your old age."

"But if you want to leave and travel, I’ll give you countless riches!"

The way Sheng Xueyi spoke made it clear that what she was asking Mrs. Wu to do was no ordinary task.

"Miss, just tell me!"

Mrs. Wu didn’t say much, but her expression was one of resolve, willing to risk her life to accomplish it.

"The little girl from the Yuan Family, I want her dead!"

Sheng Xueyi had tried many times to probe Yuan Bao’s background, but each time, she failed. Her constant misfortunes convinced her that Yuan Bao was her nemesis.

She had the script of a transmigrated legitimate daughter with special abilities.

Whereas Yuan Bao most likely had the script of a much-loved lucky mascot.

Due to their opposing fates, Yuan Bao, though seemingly ordinary, possessed genuine good fortune.

Otherwise, how could a humble village girl have connections with the number one Wei Family in Daxia? Also, how could the young son of the Yuan Family be linked to the granddaughter of the Eldest Princess if not for Yuan Bao’s luck?

All these things only confirmed that Sheng Xueyi had met her nemesis.

Indeed, she had no evidence!

But at this point, what evidence was needed?

Cao Mengde once said, "I’d rather wrong the world than let the world wrong me."

She, Sheng Xueyi, traveled from a modern city to this strange ancient time and space with a special ability. She was the main character by all means.

Yet, now she’s suffering so much as the main character, which was very unreasonable.

Even if she was guessing wrong, she’d rather be wrong a hundred times than never act.

"Miss...?!"

Mrs. Wu was stunned to hear Sheng Xueyi’s words.

"Mrs. Wu, I can’t explain to you, but if that little girl doesn’t die, I will!"

No evidence, then no evidence is needed.

Baseless accusations can also do.

Mrs. Wu was silent for a moment, slowly nodded, and said, "Miss, I will get rid of the little girl from the neighboring Yuan Family, but after this, there will be no ties between us."

Owing to a life-saving favor, Mrs. Wu had always remained by Sheng Xueyi’s side. During this time, she helped Sheng Xueyi with many matters, including building the Luo Net.

Bluntly speaking, Mrs. Wu was definitely a capable aide to Sheng Xueyi.

If Mrs. Wu left, it would be a severe blow to Sheng Xueyi.

Under normal circumstances, Sheng Xueyi wouldn’t want Mrs. Wu to leave. But Sheng Xueyi felt something was wrong with the current situation, and to change her fate, she had to eliminate her apparent nemesis.

"Mrs. Wu, I know, this is hard for you."

"But I have my difficulties!"

Sheng Xueyi felt her intuition couldn’t be wrong. But if she told Mrs. Wu this, it might make Mrs. Wu even more discontent with her.

"Miss, you don’t need to explain to this servant!"

Mrs. Wu gently shook her head, "I promised you, and I will see it through."

"This servant takes her leave!"

Mrs. Wu bowed to Sheng Xueyi and turned away.

Sheng Xueyi watched Mrs. Wu walk away, standing there, she sighed softly after a long while.

She knew the order she gave to Mrs. Wu was inhumane. After all, she wanted to kill an innocent little girl just over two years old, but that little girl was her nemesis. If she allowed that little girl to continue living, she feared there would be no future for her.

Thus, she could only be ruthless.

Better to be wrong than to let it pass.

But in her intuition, she doubted it was the wrong action.

...

Yuan Bao, alongside Wei Qiqi and Wei Lingtu, was slowly making their way back to the Wei Family when he inexplicably felt an uneasy sense of dread, as if some fierce, malevolent presence was watching him.

"Qiqi, can we go back faster?"

Yuan Bao suddenly turned to Wei Qiqi, "I feel a bit unwell!"

"Jiaojiao, what’s wrong?"

Hearing Yuan Bao say he was unwell, Wei Qiqi immediately became anxious, instructing the driver to hasten the pace.

However, before the Wei Family’s carriage could return to the Wei Family Mansion, they were attacked.

Dressed as an assassin, Mrs. Wu, wearing a Rashamon mask, blocked the Wei Family’s carriage, slaying the driver instantly.

"Bold!"

"Who are you?"

"Daring to assassinate the Wei Family’s legitimate daughter!"

The accompanying Wei Family Guards immediately rushed to protect the carriage that Yuan Bao and Wei Qiqi were in.

Meanwhile, Wei Lingtu and his two brothers hurried over from their carriage, standing together with the guards.

Despite Wei Lingtu and his brothers being young, their martial skills were not bad, having trained from an early age. Moreover, they carried life-saving concealed weapons, which could be quite effective if caught off guard.

"This one does not come for the Wei Family, hand over the little girl from the Yuan Family, and I will spare your lives!"

Mrs. Wu altered her voice, making it hoarse and aged.

As one who had appeared in front of Yuan Bao on several occasions, Mrs. Wu did not want to expose herself through her voice.

She was once the ace assassin of the Star-picking Tower, though retired for years, she still possessed some basic assassin skills.

This time, she chose not to attack secretly because the target was an innocent little girl like Yuan Bao. Even as an assassin like Mrs. Wu, she had compassion.
