Su Xiaoning hesitated, not daring to choose a path. The group remained at the crossroads, watching as the assassins shouting and fighting in the distance were about to catch up.
Su Qingcai frowned, then held Su Xiaoning's eyes tightly, giving her a look of trust.
"I don't care, just choose, we all trust you."
Bai Hua and Wang Fan also cast encouraging glances at Su Xiaoning. Su Xiaoning was touched by their trust and felt confident. She then chose a path based on her intuition and led everyone to run away.
The group ran along the path and soon came to see a small city with the words "Ye City" written on the plaque above the city gate.
Surprisingly, the town gate was eerily silent. There were no merchants coming and going, and not even any guards. It was all very strange.
But with assassins chasing them from behind, the group couldn't care less and headed straight for Ye City.
Outside the city gate, the assassin group finally caught up, but after seeing the words on the plaque, they hesitated and dared not go in.
Everyone knows that Ye City is currently ravaged by the epidemic. If anyone who goes in gets infected, they will basically never return. Who would dare to go in!
The assassins had no choice but to return to the capital and report the matter to Su Qinghe. None of them dared to enter the city.
Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe not only did not blame the assassins for their incompetence, but even burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, good! Su Qingcai, this time it's not that I want to get rid of you, it's that even the heavens don't want you to live! It's fate that allowed you to enter the plague city!"
Su Qinghe was well aware of the severity of the epidemic in Ye City. In his view, Su Qingcai's hasty entry into Ye City was tantamount to stepping into a death trap. He had no protective measures whatsoever, and if he were to contract the disease, how could he possibly survive? It seemed that this time, fate was against him!
Su Qinghe was in a good mood and waved his hand, telling the assassin to go and collect his reward. The assassin left, thanking him profusely, and a moment later, another person pushed open the door.
"Your Highness, why are you so happy? Has something good happened?" Qin Yunyun swayed her hips as she entered, carrying a bowl of soup. "This is soup I made for Your Highness. You work so hard every day, and I feel so sorry for you..."
"You're so thoughtful." Su Qinghe pulled Qin Yunyun over and made her sit on his lap. "It's no big deal for you to know about this. The woman you dislike the most is about to die."
"Really?" Qin Yunyun looked surprised and delighted, then suddenly a shy smile appeared on her face as she nestled against Su Qinghe's chest.
"Since I came to Your Highness's residence, I have seen Your Highness busy with this and that for my sake. Now that those hateful people have finally been eliminated, congratulations, Your Highness. From now on, you and I can rest easy..."
Qin Yunyun deliberately drew circles on Su Qinghe's chest with her fingers, and also twisted her body restlessly, her intentions obvious.
Su Qinghe, unable to contain his arousal, forcefully pushed Qin Yunyun down onto the table...
...
After it was all over.
Su Qinghe left the study. Qin Yunyun stayed in the study for a long time, tidying her clothes and hair, before finally going out. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Qin Sang waiting at the door.
"Yunyun, you must be tired from serving the prince, right? Your father asked the kitchen to make you some chicken soup. Remember to drink it when you get back!" Qin Sang greeted her with a smile and helped Qin Yunyun up.
Qin Yunyun pushed Qin Sang away without making a sound, and said with a frown, "Father, how much do you want this time?"
She knew exactly what Qin Sang was thinking. Now that she was Su Qinghe's woman, Qin Sang was benefiting from it. Every few days, he would come to her for money, saying that he wanted to buy property to make the Qin family rise again.
Qin Sang was too lazy to beat around the bush anymore, and simply held up a number, "See, just the same as last time!"
"I'll give it to you after I've rested." Qin Yunyun forced a smile, then turned and left.
Qin Sang's eyes lit up. She didn't care about her daughter's mood at all and left humming a little tune.
...
On the other side, in Ye City.
Su Xiaoning and her group hid in Ye City for a long time, but the assassins never came after them, and their hearts were filled with temptation.
Just as Su Xiaoning was about to go out to investigate, Su Qingcai suddenly grabbed her with a serious expression, "Oh no, this place is a plague-stricken city. Staying inside for too long might lead to trouble!"
He was so nervous while fleeing that he didn't remember where he was for a moment. Now that he has calmed down and thought about his experiences in his previous life, he quickly realized how dangerous this place was!
Su Xiaoning was also horrified. Could this city be so lifeless? If they stayed here any longer, who knew what they might discover?
The group panicked and hurriedly tried to leave, but suddenly heard a scream from the street.
"Ah! You, you don't come any closer!"
A delicate and beautiful young girl sat trembling on the ground, surrounded by several fierce-looking plague victims.
The infected man spat at the girl, his cloudy eyes filled with hatred.
"Our entire Ye City has been ravaged by the plague, but only you Gu family members are unharmed. This is simply unfair! We have no money for treatment and are starving to death, while you rich heiresses have the leisure to go shopping. You deserve to die! Hand over all your money now, and we might consider letting you go!"
"But...but I just gave you all the money I had on me..."
The girl sobbed softly, avoiding eye contact with the people suffering from the epidemic. She began to regret her sudden decision to go out alone that day; how wonderful it would be if someone could come and save her!
