Chapter 2 The Young Lady 2

Luo Xi tapped her long, slender, fair fingers lightly on the table, her brows furrowed in thought.

Moreover, now that Shangguan Wan'er has injured her face and her cat is dead, and especially since Prime Minister Luo hasn't punished her yet, although she is not at fault, Shangguan Wan'er doesn't think she is at fault, because she thinks that since her cat didn't hurt her, it's not a big deal.

But to Luo Xi, that cat deserved to die if it tried to hurt her. Even if she wasn't bitten this time, there would be another time.

Right now, Shangguan Wan'er probably hates her a lot.

Also, who knows if the cat that went crazy at the time was ordered by Shangguan Wan'er to pounce on her, after all, Shangguan Wan'er was its owner.

Some people may appear gentle and kind, but they can be treacherous underneath, and might plot against you at any time. It's best to avoid such people.

Shangguan Wan'er must die, but she cannot die in the Prime Minister's residence...

Three days later

Luo Xi's second brother, Luo Cheng, returned. As soon as he got back, he took the exquisite little trinkets he had specially bought for Shangguan Wan'er in Jiangnan and delivered them to her.

Luo Cheng was startled when he saw the wound on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead. He hurriedly asked, "Wan'er, what happened? Why did you hurt your forehead?"

If he had known that Wan'er was injured, he would have returned sooner.

Shangguan Wan'er stammered and refused to speak, tears welling up in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful. She hesitated several times before finally saying something.

Even if Luo Cheng were stupid, he could tell that Wan'er definitely wanted to tell him, but perhaps she was afraid of being overheard. Therefore, Wan'er's injury must have been caused by someone in the manor, most likely Luo Xi.

The Prime Minister's wife manages the household affairs, and she has people working for her throughout the entire mansion.

Therefore, out of caution, Luo Cheng invited Shangguan Wan'er to talk at one of his teahouses.

Shangguan Wan'er put on her veil and left the house one after the other with Luo Cheng.

At the corner of the Prime Minister's residence gate, Su Yan saw Luo Cheng and Shangguan Wan'er leaving one after the other, and her eyes flickered...

Inside the carriage, Shangguan Wan'er was lost in thought, her eyes lowered. She didn't see a small red snake's head protruding from the wooden plank beside her feet, its tongue flicking. The next second, the snake stretched out and bit Shangguan Wan'er's ankle.

After biting the person, the snake silently slipped off the carriage and disappeared into the roadside bushes.

Shangguan Wan'er noticed a slight, almost imperceptible pain in her ankle, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

As for Luo Cheng, he was also bitten by a snake. He was so angry about the wound on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead that he didn't even notice the slight pain.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the teahouse.

In a private room on the second floor, Shangguan Wan'er tearfully recounted the events of that day to Luo Cheng.

“She…she even had your men beat my cat to death; it was left to me by my mother.”

"Waaaaah........"

Luo Cheng's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened. He grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand and said, "Wan'er, don't worry, I will help you get it back."

Shangguan Wan'er: Really?

"But she is, after all, your sister."

Luo Cheng: "We're just half-siblings, and I don't have a good relationship with her."

His relationship with Luo Xi was indeed bad. One was the legitimate daughter, and the other was the illegitimate son. Moreover, Luo Xi also had a legitimate older brother, so how could their relationship be good?

The extreme emotional fluctuations of Shangguan Wan'er and Luo Cheng accelerated the spread of the venom.

Soon, they foamed at the mouth, collapsed on the table, and died...
