Liu Ye wanted to die. What kind of nonsense was this? Others transmigrated to become a princess, but she was transmigrated into a fool's body. Is this fair, Heavens? How can you treat me like t...
Chapter 160 She knew how to dispose of the corpse.
The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and two assassins in black walked in, knives in hand. Liu Ye quickly waved her hand at them, and they were taken into her spatial storage.
She patted her chest. Good heavens, that really scared her to death. The assassins should be dead by now. She threw the blanket aside and flashed into the space. There she saw two assassins lying on the ground, their sharp daggers still in their hands.
She crouched down and checked the assassin's breath; he was dead. She then ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing two faces covered in knife scars. Oh, how ugly!
What should she do with the bodies? It seems she'll have to go up the mountain again tomorrow. Oh right, she remembered, assassins all have assassin organizations. If these two assassins don't go back to report, the assassin organization will probably send someone to kill her. Damn it...!
No, she couldn't throw those two assassins up the mountain. Then she had an idea! She knew where to throw them. Ten minutes later, Liu Ye returned from outside and snuggled into her warm bed. She had already thrown them into the Qin family's courtyard. The assassins died at the Qin family's house, not hers. As long as the assassin organization knew, they probably wouldn't come looking for revenge. They might send new assassins to kill her, but it didn't matter. She had her spatial ability; what was she afraid of?
She kills one if one comes, two if two come, and wipes them all out if they all come. After all, they provoked her first, so she considers it an act of eliminating a scourge for the people!
The next day, a scream rang out from the Qin family home. It was a maid who had gotten up early to clean. "Ah! Someone's dead!" The maid's cry attracted all the maids and servants of the Qin family, including the steward. It also woke up Master Qin, who had just returned home. He ran out and, seeing the dead body's attire, guessed that they might be assassins. He thought they were there to kill him, and in his fright, he immediately ordered a servant to report to the authorities.
"Tell the officers that someone is trying to assassinate me, and ask them to send more men to protect me."
"Yes, sir!" Steward Qin wanted to stop the servants from reporting to the authorities, but he had no reason to stop them. He was so anxious that he could only watch helplessly. He was also puzzled. He had clearly told them to kill Liu Ye first and then kill Master Qin. How did they end up at the Qin residence and die? What happened?
Soon, a large group of officials surrounded the Qin family's house, attracting the attention of the neighbors who came out to watch the spectacle, craning their necks to look at the Qin family's house and whispering among themselves.
Liu Ye also came out and stood at the door to watch the commotion. She pretended not to know what was going on and asked the neighbor with a gossipy look, "Brother, what's going on with the Qin family? Why are there so many soldiers?"
The passerby said excitedly, "Let me tell you, someone hired an assassin to kill Master Qin. But the assassin was killed by a master's men. So the Qin family reported it to the authorities. I bet the assassin was sent by so-and-so. He and Master Qin are rivals... Okay, okay, blah blah blah."
The Qin family steward at the gate of the Qin family compound watched Liu Ye gossiping with others, seemingly unaware of the assassin's affairs. It seemed the assassin's death had nothing to do with her. Could it be that the old man really had a master protector who killed the assassin? Was the old man putting on an act? Oh no, had he already become suspicious of them?
He glanced furtively at Master Qin, who was talking to the constable: "Hey, Constable Li, did you remember the name I mentioned? Quickly send men to arrest them! If they don't confess, torture them! Whip them with chili water, make them ride the wooden donkey, pinch their fingers and beat them with a board, do it all! I'm sure they hired assassins to kill me, alright, alright, baa baa baa."
Master Qin was talking animatedly, and Constable Li patiently noted down the name he mentioned: "Alright, let's take the body away first. I'll send someone to inform you if there's any news. Farewell."
When Master Qin saw the officials carrying the corpse away, he hurriedly chased after them, shouting, "Officer Li, don't take everyone away! You have to leave me a few men to protect me! What if the assassins come to kill me again? Hey, don't go!"
Steward Qin hurriedly led the servants to close the gate, and the onlookers dispersed. Liu Ye locked the gate and went to the noodle shop. On her way there, she had heard about Master Qin's assassination attempt, and it was exactly what she had expected and the effect she wanted to see.
The noodle shop had been closed for several days, and it was covered in dust. However, she didn't bother cleaning it and decided to wait until it reopened after the New Year. Otherwise, cleaning would be pointless, and the shop would get dirty again in a few days.
She went to the counter, opened the drawer, and saw that there were still dozens of copper coins inside, so she put them all into her spatial storage. Just then, the door of the noodle shop was pushed open. She looked up and was about to say that the noodle shop was not open when she saw three girls walk in. Oh my, Liu Ya, Liu Qing, and Liu Xiangxiang, these three sisters actually came. It seems that they really did not go home.
Liu Ye rudely told them to get out: "The noodle shop is closed for the holiday, you're all out!"
The three girls looked at each other, and finally Liu Ya came to the counter with a grin: "Big sister, we didn't come here to eat noodles, we came to see you, and we'd like to ask you to go to the temple fair. There's a temple fair in front of the God of Wealth Temple on East Street, it's so lively. None of the four of us sisters have ever been there together, let's go together."
Liu Ye also wanted to go to the temple fair, but she didn't want to go with them: "No, you guys go by yourselves. Go out and close the door for me."
Liu Ya looked at Liu Qing and Liu Xiangxiang with frustration. The big fool was completely unreasonable, and she was at her wit's end.
Liu Xiangxiang stepped forward nervously, forcing a smile, and said, "Big sister, I know you feel wronged, and we were indeed wrong. It's all because we were young and ignorant. But now we're grown up, and we know that you are our closest relative, that we share the same blood, and that we are the closest of family. Big sister, please don't hold it against us. We promise we'll never treat you like that again. Please forgive us and don't hold it against us. Now that you're successful, we didn't want anything from you; we just wanted our family to be together again."
“Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Dad, this is also their idea. With family protecting her, my eldest sister won’t be looked down upon. Eldest sister, please come with us to the temple fair. We brought our own money, so we don’t need you to buy us anything. We just want to go shopping with you. This is our biggest wish right now…”
Seeing that they seemed not to understand human language, Liu Ye was too lazy to waste words with them. She came out from behind the counter and walked out. The three Liu sisters quickly followed her out of the noodle shop. Liu Ye locked the door and left, and the three Liu sisters followed closely behind her.
After walking through two streets, we arrived at the Temple of the God of Wealth. The street where the temple was located was bustling with activity, with people as numerous as ants. Colorful ribbons and amulets hung from the trees on both sides of the street, and stalls on both sides of the street sold all kinds of things, with shouts of vendors constantly filling the air.
Liu Ye walked very fast, and the three sisters followed closely behind her, never leaving her side. Wherever she went, they followed, like a leech that they couldn't shake off.
Since she couldn't get rid of it, she decided to give up. She went to a jewelry stall, picked up a silver hairpin and examined it. The hairpin was beautiful, inlaid with plum blossoms and dangling with tassels: "Boss, how much is this hairpin?"
