Chapter 61 - 43: Better to Offend a Petty Person Than a Woman_2After seeing Xiao Ya clearly, Imperial Uncle Luo scoffed contemptuously.
"Xiao Ya, you've got some nerve, daring to impersonate someone from the nightclub to infiltrate the Imperial Uncle Mansion. If something happens to me, the current Empress will definitely not let the nightclub off the hook. Do you want to be responsible for the lives of over a hundred people there because of you?" Imperial Uncle Luo knew things were bad, but this Old Fox, fully aware of the precarious situation, still attempted to threaten Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya was an orphan, raised by the nightclub from a young age. The reason the two sisters agreed to Lady Yao's request was because the other party had proposed that, as long as they pretended to marry Imperial Uncle Luo and deceived him of the complete set of keys, obtaining the Ancient Xuan Beast Egg, they would be granted their freedom.
"What does the nightclub's life and death have to do with her?" Seeing a flicker of reluctance on Xiao Ya's face, the silent Rashamon, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said, "If the nightclub truly cared about the two of them, they would never have offered them up to you like objects. Nor would they have turned a blind eye when Xiao Chu desperately pleaded for help. If we're talking about gratitude, Xiao Chu has already repaid it with her life."
"And who might you be? I have no quarrel or grudge with you, why do you seek to harm me?" Seeing that the warning did not work, Imperial Uncle Luo shouted fiercely again.
"Just a passerby who can't stand injustice, who happens to have heard that Lord Imperial Uncle has an Ancient Xuan Beast Egg. I would like to borrow it for a look," Yue Jinghua played with a box in her hands.
Xiao Ya already had one key, and after knocking Imperial Uncle Luo unconscious, they took the box with them. They had already
Rashamon Yue Xiaoqi had already walked out of the house.
Xiao Ya paused for a moment, looked back at Imperial Uncle Luo, whose face was ashen, and a trace of light crossed her eyes.
Without hesitation, she followed Yue Jinghua out.
"Let me out, you maniac, I will not let you go even as a ghost, help me!" Imperial Uncle Luo's scream echoed throughout the desolate wilderness all night long.
By dawn, the entire Polo City was boiling over like a pot of water with two drops of oil, set off by two pieces of news.
Inside Qianbin Building, the tea-drinking patrons were eagerly discussing these events.
One piece of news was that the corpse of a woman, hung outside the Prince Luo Mansion, had been snatched away, including Imperial Uncle Luo's personal soldiers, a total of eighteen servants were all Poisoned to death.
The second piece of news was that early this morning, the soldiers in the city discovered a male corpse not far from a broken temple three miles outside the city walls.
The only thing left of the body was one right hand, and in the course of his struggle, he encountered a pack of starving hyenas, leaving his body gnawed to shreds; only his waist tag could faintly confirm the identity of the male corpse as the present Imperial Uncle Luo Chang.
"Truly, what goes around comes around, who do you think did this?" A few patrons discussed animatedly.
"I heard that the palace has already sent someone to investigate. Last night, after the nightclub sent two people over, the poison remaining in the bridal chamber and in the bodies of those few guards had been identified as originating from the nightclub. The nightclub's owner, Lady Yao, has been summoned by the government," the patrons chatted with various opinions.
The nightclub?
Better to offend a villain than a woman; this saying really is true.
On the rooftop of Qianbin Building, a man in a scarlet robe was tapping his chopsticks, observing the tea-drinking patrons.
Recalling the scene from yesterday within the sedan chair, Xie Yu felt a sense of rueful amusement. After sending off that demoness yesterday, Xie Yu had surreptitiously circulated his breath, and upon discovering that the Dark Energy in his Dantian was much stronger than usual, he realized he had not been poisoned.
As for Imperial Uncle Luo's manner of death. It really was letting him off easy.
A killing aura enveloped Xie Yu, spreading thickly around him.
Thinking back to yesterday's conversation, the killing aura dissipated, and with a slight lift of his amorous eyes, Xie Yu pondered in his heart: Yue Xiaoqi, what are you going to do next?
