Chapter 1295 - 251: Paradise on Earth, Overcoming Thorns (Part 5)
Jiang Li frowned and walked over quickly: "What are you doing? Let go."
The more Yan Zi heard this, the more she thought he was defending Ji Yunya, which made her more jealous and she didn’t hold back her actions. Strangely, the person didn’t speak or fight back at all, like a puppet on strings.
"I knew you liked her, you little witch, let’s see how I fix you today." Yan Zi’s face twisted in anger, she slapped the person hard, sending them sprawling onto the ground, yet the person remained motionless.
Still not satisfied, Yan Zi lunged forward, grabbing the person’s collar, and said viciously, "Pretending to be mute, you think I don’t know who you, wretched woman, are?"
Jiang Li went up to pull Yan Zi, "Stop it, stop now."
"Who’s making a fuss? Meeting Ji Yunya in the middle of the night, ha, Jiang Li, you’re tired of me, aren’t you? Ji Yunya is young and pretty, you’re smitten, aren’t you? Let me tell you, as long as I’m here, give up on that idea, or I’ll kill this little witch."
They stood at the edge of Plum Forest, with many stones scattered on the ground. Suddenly, Yan Zi twisted her ankle and instinctively grabbed the person next to her, thinking of the baby in her belly, she fell on top of that person to cushion her fall, shouting, "Jiang Li save me."
The change happened too quickly, Jiang Li couldn’t save her in time, he could only watch as they fell.
"Zizi...."
A "thud" sound, something pierced through flesh, so clear in the quiet night, so startlingly vivid.
Yan Zi lay dumbfounded on the person’s body, underneath was a warm, steaming body, the scent of blood filled her nostrils, making her nauseous and wanting to vomit in an instant.
She looked down in a daze, in the bright moonlight and distant lights, she saw a branch impaled in the person’s chest, the sharp end pierced through more than an inch, blood spreading on their clothes. Yan Zi’s eyes widened in fear, and she suddenly screamed, dropping to the ground.
"Ah... I... I killed someone...." Her face was terrified as if she’d seen a ghost.
Jiang Li was shocked, how did it come to this? As he was about to go over to check, Yan Zi suddenly clung to him, clutching his clothes, trembling in fear.
In the shadows, a figure listened to the footsteps approaching, curved their lips in a smile, and disappeared into the night.
"What happened here?" Meng Shujing and Qiaoyin came over, just leaving Rongju Garden, they heard the commotion, sounded like Yan Zi’s voice, not taking care of herself while pregnant, what’s she doing out here?
Hearing Meng Shujing’s voice, Yan Zi shivered: "It’s... it’s sister-in-law, what do I do now? What should I do...."
Jiang Li gently patted her shoulder: "Don’t be afraid."
As Meng Shujing came over, she saw the couple holding each other and laughed: "You two, instead of staying comfortably in your room, why are you out here catching a cold, aren’t you afraid of getting sick? Alright, I won’t disturb you."
As she was about to leave, Qiaoyin tugged on her sleeve: "Madam, look over there."
Qiaoyin’s sharp eyes immediately saw the person lying under the tree, a branch in their chest, a large pool of blood soaking the ground, shocking to the eyes.
Meng Shujing followed her gaze and was startled, pointing at that person in disbelief: "That... who is that?"
Now that someone discovered it, what to do?
Jiang Li didn’t expect things to have developed to this extent, just as he wanted to speak, Yan Zi was quicker: "It was Ji Yunya trying to seduce my husband first, she’s a shameless woman, she deserved to die."
Her tone was sharp, as if she had justification for killing.
Meng Shujing’s eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say? This person is Ji Yunya?"
Yan Zi pressed her lips: "That’s right, she deserved it, she was the one who tried to seduce my husband, and this was an accident, she fell on her own, it has nothing to do with me."
Meng Shujing furrowed her brows, this situation was escalating, she turned to glance at Qiaoyin: "Go take a look."
Qiaoyin went over, squatted down, and shone a flashlight on the face, the person was wearing a mask, she reached out and pulled it off, revealing an excessively pale face covered with dense scars, under the light the face was like it was crawling with ants, it made one’s scalp tingle. The woman’s facial expression was still in a stiff grimace, showing the pain and struggle she suffered in her final moments.
