"Does pushing someone into the water absolve you of the law?" Jiang Nian sneered.

"What did you say?" Ji Yuwei's eyes nearly popped out of her head in shock. "How could you..."

How could Jiang Nian know that it was she who pushed her!

The banquet hall was completely dark at the time, and Jiang Nian didn't even know that she had gone to the Song family that night!

Ji Yuwei simply couldn't understand it.

Jiang Nian, however, took out a dagger from somewhere and slowly walked up to her.

"...Ji Yuwei, you heard what your uncle said outside the study that day, didn't you?"

The girl's dark eyes were calm and undisturbed.

Her gaze was slightly lowered, and her slender, fair fingers played with the dagger, yet it inexplicably sent chills down one's spine.

Upon hearing Jiang Nian's words, Ji Yuwei's lips trembled instantly: "You, what did you say?"

“That day in the study, I heard footsteps outside the door, and I recognized the voice as yours.”

"Now that you know you're not a biological daughter of the Ji family, and no one is going to expose you, wouldn't it be better to just be a respectable young lady of the Ji family?"

"I've already let you off the hook once, so why do you keep provoking me, huh?"

Jiang Nian spoke calmly, her face expressionless.

"What...what do you want to do?! Jiang Nian, let me tell you, don't you dare rush in..."

Before Ji Yuwei could finish saying "Don't be impulsive," the girl in front of her suddenly raised her dagger.

Before she could react, it stabbed straight at her eyes.

"ah!!!"

Then, Ji Yuwei let out a piercing scream.

Jiang Nian's knife tip stopped precisely three centimeters from her eyeball. Ji Yuwei was so terrified that her body convulsed, and she fainted on the spot!
