She was the youngest daughter of a century-old general's household, of noble status, cherished by her father and brothers, living a life of freedom and spontaneity. Yet, she was tragically murd...
Qin Shuo said viciously.
He was in pain and fury. Qin Wan had actually stepped on him. What a humiliation! And when had Qin Wan become so skilled? It must have been because he'd been drunk and attacked...
Hearing Qin Shuo's harsh words, Qing Yue's pupils grew colder and colder. She exerted force on her feet and said in an icy voice, "Is that so? Then I am still Princess Yu. Even if I take your life today, it will be okay, right?"
“Ah…ah, it hurts, it hurts, cough cough cough…Qin Wan, you…ah…”
Qin Shuo's body curled up like a shrimp in pain. He wanted to get up and resist, but the foot on his chest felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, leaving him with no power to fight back.
Qin Shuo's servant was so frightened that he screamed "Young Master" and rushed over. As soon as he got close, he was knocked to the ground by Qing Yue with a punch, and his nose was bleeding.
This scene really stimulated Qin Shuo.
Qin Wan was really driven crazy by the torture of Princess Yu.
If things go wrong, I might really kill him.
Now, in addition to the severe pain, he felt like he couldn't breathe and was about to be trampled to death.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Qin Wan, second brother was wrong, please let go of your feet. Second brother really knows he is wrong, please forgive him this time."
Qin Shuo screamed, tears and snot flowing uncontrollably. It was so painful that his chest felt like it was going to explode.
"Have mercy, sister, I'm wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Qin Shuo kept begging for mercy.
Qing Yue looked at his miserable state coldly, and sneered in her heart. For a moment, she seemed to understand why she was reborn as Qin Wan after her death. It was because the contrast was too obvious. Qin Wan's second brother was also such a coward, and his second brother doted on her to the sky.
"Next time you see me, take a detour, otherwise I will beat you up every time I see you."
Qing Yue threw down these words, retracted her feet, and without even looking at Qin Shuo, she walked away along the road in front of her.
"Cough cough cough."
Qin Shuo choked and coughed.
"Second Young Master, how are you? Let me help you up."
The servant with blood still on his face hurried to Qin Shuo and helped him up.
Seeing his expression, Qin Shuo's face darkened. He pushed the servant away, clutching his chest and gritting his teeth, "This is outrageous! This Qin Wan is outrageous. How dare she attack me and even want to kill me? Has she forgotten who she is? Ah? This is outrageous!"
Qin Shuo gritted his teeth.
"How dare you sneak up on me when I wasn't paying attention? If I don't get my revenge today, I'm not even considered Qin!"
Qin Shuo said viciously, then got up from the ground and said angrily, "Don't follow me, send the carriage back to the mansion."
As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and chased in the direction Qing Yue left. He wanted to save his face.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master..."
The servant called out a few times behind him, but seeing that his young master didn't even turn his head, he could only stomp his feet and go back to drive the carriage.
**
Qing Yue beat Qin Shuo up, but her mood didn't get much better. She kept walking forward and after passing through an alley, she found herself back on the main road of Chang'an Street.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
She pursed her lips and prepared to go back to Prince Yu's Mansion, but suddenly, her eyes fixed on a figure that flashed past on the opposite street and entered one of the stores.
Wancui Pavilion.
A shop selling rouge, powder and women's clothing.
When she was still Qingyue, this was her favorite store because it had a wide variety of dresses and the styles were novel.
And if she wasn't mistaken, the person who just entered the store was clearly Qing Yunyao!
Qing Yunyao who looks like her!
Qing Yue stared at Wancui Pavilion with cold eyes, pursed her lips, as if she wanted something. She pulled out the scarf from her sleeve and then walked towards another corner where a father and daughter were selling pears.
Qing Yue walked up to her, gave her a piece of silver, and then said to the little girl, "Little girl, can you do me a favor? Go to Wancui Pavilion across the street and find a girl in pink. Tell her someone is waiting for her in the back alley of Yongning Street, Chang'an Street, and ask her to come over alone. And tell her... to the top of Luoye Mountain."
"good."
The little girl responded quickly and ran towards Wancui Pavilion.
Qing Yue changed her location, hiding at the entrance of the alley, staring at the door.
She could not show up openly. Now Qing Yunyao was both the legitimate daughter of the Qing family and the princess of Prince You. She was not someone she could approach casually.
Today's encounter was an accident, but she would not let go of this opportunity.
Qing Yue also believed that as long as the little girl delivered the message, Qing Yunyao would definitely come. How could she forget this place on the top of Luoyue Mountain? That was where she killed her and kicked her off the cliff! As soon as these four words were uttered, she would definitely panic and she would definitely not bring anyone with her. After all, she was also afraid that her secret would be known.
Sure enough, after just a while, Qing Yunyao came out of Wancui Pavilion and looked at the street. The little girl and her maid came out with her. She seemed to turn around and say a few words to the little girl, then walked towards the back alley of Chang'an Street in a hurry.
Here, Qingyue also turned around and walked quickly towards the back alley of Yongning Street.
Qing Yunyao's heart was beating like a drum at this moment. Originally, she had nothing to do today, but when she heard that a batch of new dresses had arrived at Wancui Pavilion, she took her maid out for a walk, thinking of buying a few pieces to send back to Qing Mansion. However, she didn't expect that a little girl came in and said that someone wanted to see her. With her current status as Princess You, how could she see anyone who wanted to see her?
I wanted to send her away directly, but the little girl said "on the top of Fallen Leaf Mountain".
Just these four words made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
The top of Fallen Leaf Mountain, the name of this place... It has been more than three years since that incident, why would someone suddenly mention it?
People are most afraid of imagining things. Qing Yunyao's heart was pounding wildly at this moment. She wondered if someone had secretly witnessed her murder that day? But why had there been no movement for over three years, and then suddenly wanted to see her? Who could it be?
But no matter what she guessed, she had to go there to see who wanted to see her.
If necessary...
A murderous look flashed in Qing Yunyao's eyes.
She walked quickly towards the back alley of Yongning Street without letting anyone follow her. The alley was sparsely populated. There were clusters of moss growing in the corners of the walls and many fallen leaves on the ground, but there was no one in sight.
Qing Yunyao walked slowly into the alley with a heavy heart, "Is anyone there?"
She shouted under her breath.
The wind rustled, but no one responded.
She pursed her lips and stood still, "Is there anyone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a fierce wind rising from behind her. She subconsciously turned around and saw a flash of cold light. It turned out to be the person behind her who attacked her.
Qing Yunyao herself was also skilled in martial arts, and she immediately raised her hand to block and protect her face. With a swish, the dagger passed by, directly cutting through her sleeve and flesh, and blood splattered instantly.
Qing Yunyao groaned in pain, her face instantly turning pale. She took two steps back and leaned against the wall, her eyes filled with anxiety and anger. "Who are you?"
