Chapter 10 You Killed Someone

"Okay, you're worthy of being someone who has served men before. You're sensible. I like it!"

The serious criminal swallowed and let go of Wen Liyu's hand.

After all, Cheng Weiyao had already snuggled into the arms of the serious criminal. Her hand stroked the criminal's back, and with a thought, a small knife was hidden in her palm without her realizing it.

"I'm still a lot more sensible..."

The serious criminal was enjoying himself at the moment, but he felt the soft little hand caressing his back go along his spine to his neck, and suddenly his neck hurt.

"Cheng Weiyao! You are so shameless..."

Wen Liyu, who had regained her freedom, did not think of escaping. She stood on the moral high ground and condemned Cheng Weiyao's cheating behavior.

"Shut up!"

Cheng Weiyao's tone was cold. The blood that splattered when her neck was cut fell on her face, making her clear eyes look unusually cold.

"You killed someone..."

Wen Liyu fell silent all of a sudden. She was stunned for a long time before she spoke with trembling lips as she watched Cheng Weiyao cleaning up the mess.

"Well, so what? You're going to tell on me?"

Cheng Weiyao dragged the body of the serious criminal to the bushes nearby and buried it shallowly with some branches and fallen leaves.

For the officials, the escape of such a serious criminal was more terrifying than his death. Even if he died in unclear circumstances, at least the report could say that he died of exhaustion during exile.

But if he ran away, it would be the officials' dereliction of duty and they would be held accountable. Cheng Weiyao's burial method was to make it easy for the officials to find the body.

"If he doesn't die, it will be you and me who will die, and it will be the Qingping Palace that will lose face."

After brushing the dust off her hands, Cheng Weiyao turned around and saw Wen Liyu's troubled face, so she said something to comfort her.

Perhaps in the eyes of the ancients, murderers were all extremely evil and treacherous...

After this episode, Wen Liyu became much more obedient and followed Cheng Weiyao almost every step of the way.

But after all, she was a delicate princess since childhood, and Wen Liyu's physical fitness obviously couldn't keep up. She needed to stop and rest every now and then. Cheng Weiyao had to observe the surrounding environment and accommodate her.

"How come you don't feel tired? We've already run a long way, there shouldn't be any danger..."

Wen Liyu looked at Cheng Weiyao, who was always on alert, with some confusion.

"If you've rested enough, get up and continue on your journey."

Cheng Weiyao twitched her lips. Isn't she tired? She can't relax. This sister-in-law is as clean as an idiot.

After hearing Cheng Weiyao's challenge, Wen Liyu stopped talking, curled her lips, and lowered her head to rub her sore legs.

In such a turbulent time, Cheng Weiyao could have just abandoned Wen Liyu and walked away. However, as a modern person who has read many TV dramas and novels, she felt that Wen Chengyun did not seem like an exile and seemed to have other intentions...

Since his golden finger was closely related to Wen Chengyun, he naturally became a member of the same boat. It would be nice to protect his sister and improve her favorability, right?

A bird took off from a branch not far away. Cheng Weiyao quickly walked back to Wen Liyu and pulled her behind a big tree next to her.

"sister in law……"

Wen Liyu clutched Cheng Weiyao's sleeves in fear. Apart from the serious criminals at the beginning, they had not encountered any other dangers along the way. Wen Liyu's nerves had unconsciously relaxed.

Cheng Weiyao made a hushing gesture, and with a movement of her mind, an exquisite knife appeared in the palm of her right sleeve.

"Madam? Ayu?"

Wen Chengyun frowned slightly. He was a martial artist. He had just seen two figures from afar and came over because they looked familiar.

It only took a few breaths and she couldn't walk far. Considering the lady's intelligence, she was probably hiding.

He calmed down and glanced at a small section of sleeve that was visible from behind a thick tree. It looked like A-Yu's clothes.

"Husband, we are here..."

Cheng Weiyao breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the tree where they were hiding with Wen Liyu. After waiting for so long, the time to meet up was finally here.

"Are you injured? The main force has returned and discovered something unusual. I'll take you there to report."

Wen Chengyun looked at the two of them carefully. Although they looked a little disheveled, their mental state was still pretty good.

On the way to reunite with the main force, it was inevitable that they would encounter serious criminals on the run. With Wen Chengyun's support, they could tie up almost every criminal who came.

During the conversation, Wen Liyu's eyes fell on Cheng Weiyao several times, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak. However, seeing how well Cheng Weiyao and Wen Chengyun cooperated with each other, she became hesitant again.

After much thought, she approached Wen Chengyun and whispered a few words to him. Cheng Weiyao took it in her heart but did not show it on her face.

"Did anything happen along the way? I heard that Madam was timid and cowardly before she got married, but now it seems the rumors are untrue. Madam is clearly a heroine..."

While Wen Chengyun was speaking, he tore off the sleeves of the serious criminal with two strong hands, twisted them and used them to tie the criminal's hands and feet instead of handcuffs.

"I was just pretending before. I marry a virtuous woman. If I don't pretend to be gentle and virtuous, how can I get married?"

Cheng Weiyao argued with a smile, saying that Wen Chengyun didn't live in the Cheng family and was with the original body day and night, so his understanding of the original body was just hearsay from the world.

"Then I have truly found a treasure..."

Wen Chengyun's tone was playful, and his eyes were full of meaning, as if the words "Do you think I believe it or not" were written on his face.

"Madam, your skillful way of protecting Ah Yu doesn't seem like something a woman would do. Could it be that one of the Cheng family's ancestors was a butcher?"

Cheng Weiyao's heart sank slightly. As expected, her sister-in-law did tell her. She just didn't know how she described it specifically. But she was not the kind of person who would sit there and wait for death.

"Not really. It's just my nature. Being bored at home, I secretly climb trees and shoot birds to relieve my boredom. But my husband, no matter how you look at him, doesn't seem like someone who would deliberately rebel..."

Cheng Weiyao's tone was light and flirtatious. Beating a mute person was not exclusive to Wen Chengyun.

"This exile was a bit of a commotion... I'm afraid my husband has as many secrets as I do. If you want to open up to me, you should at least show some sincerity."

"Don't worry. Since you and I are husband and wife, we are in the same boat. There is a long way to go."

The two of them understood each other and no longer mentioned the topic, but simply assumed that they had reached a consensus.

A faint smile quietly appeared on Wen Chengyun's lips. He had already confirmed that the Cheng Weiyao in front of him had been replaced...

When the three of them successfully reunited with the main force, Wen Chengyun was already holding four or five fugitive serious criminals in his hands, each of them looking like an eggplant hit by frost.

Cheng Weiyao and Wen Liyu followed closely behind, like two powerless women.
