Mu Jin, the legitimate daughter of a military family, is a woman who is disdained by her husband and driven out of the house. When she returns, she learns that her husband has taken a new lover. On...
With a "whoosh!"
The moment Mu Jin spoke, the so-called "waiter" realized that he had exposed his identity. The simple, cautious, and obsequious expression he had previously feigned vanished instantly, replaced by a fierce and vicious face.
Without hesitation, he forcefully pushed the lacquered tray filled with tea and fruit toward Mu Jin, then swiftly pulled a sharp dagger from under the tray and stabbed it straight at Mu Jin!
"Go to hell!"
Su Muxue cried out in alarm, just as the knife was about to stab Mu Jin, but Mu Jin's calm and gentle expression suddenly turned cold.
Mu Jin leaped into the air, kicking the waiter's dagger to the ground. She quickly picked it up, and in an instant, a flash of gleaming light appeared as the dagger pressed against the waiter's neck.
As Mu Jin's dagger fell on "Xiao Er's" neck, several maids rushed into the private room.
"I apologize for being late, Miss Mu."
The female guards, disguised as maids, who were standing at the top of the stairs, saw several men running out of Mu Jin's private room in a panic and knew something was wrong. When they ran into the private room, they saw Mu Jin holding a short knife to the neck of a waiter.
"Speak! Who sent you?"
The waiter had no idea that Mu Jin's kung fu was so formidable.
"I...I...I could tell from your appearance that you two young ladies were from wealthy families. I was short of money lately, so I had a wicked thought. I wanted to pretend to threaten you with a knife to swindle some money from you. I didn't really intend to kill you..."
Mu Jin pushed the knife in two more times, but before she could question him, the fake waiter suddenly collapsed and died.
Mu Jin's expression changed, and she immediately stepped forward to check, discovering a tiny needle mark on the waiter's neck.
"This is bad, someone doesn't want him to reveal the mastermind." Mu Jin's heart sank.
She looked around and saw a dark shadow flash past the window.
"Chase them!" Mu Jin picked up her short sword and stood protectively in front of Su Muxue, watching as several female guards rushed out of the room.
