The wind was howling, and Shen Yuerong thought Bai Xue was doomed to die, when a figure holding her jumped in through the window.
The person who came was Heng Yu.
Bai Xue stood there, her legs and feet feeling a little weak, but she still went forward to check the things on the bodies of the dead people.
Perhaps it was because the other party was too confident, so he did not think of taking the tokens from these people.
Soon, Bai Xue found the amulet that Yue Tong gave them.
Almost everyone in the villa has this amulet, which Yuetong drew herself. It is said to be able to protect safety, ward off evil spirits and avoid danger.
The moment she saw the amulet, Bai Xue’s face turned pale.
He never expected that his loyal master actually wanted to kill him.
Seeing Bai Xue like this, Shen Yuerong came forward to comfort her, but after smelling the scent from the amulet, her brows slightly frowned.
"What is this and what's inside it? Can you show it to me?"
Bai Xue was stunned for a moment and answered with a hoarse voice.
"This is a gift from the Saint to everyone in the villa. It is a peace amulet made by her own hands. It is said to be able to protect peace and ward off evil."
"As for what's inside, I don't know. Princess, do you want to take a look?"
Shen Yuerong nodded, then took the amulet from her hand and slowly opened it with her slender green fingers.
The moment she opened the amulet, Shen Yuerong's expression became serious.
Because there are some medicinal herbs inside this amulet.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong, but if these herbs are put together and worn for a long time, it can make people distracted and some even have a bad temper.
Bai Xue saw that Shen Yuerong looked extremely solemn and asked hurriedly.
"What's wrong with this amulet? Is there a problem?"
Shen Yuerong pursed her lips slightly, but finally couldn't bear it and told Bai Xue about it.
"When these herbs are combined together, they can cause people to lose their minds and have hot tempers, and they are prone to violence when they encounter exciting things."
When Bai Xue heard these words, her face turned pale and she staggered for a moment.
Outside, the wind and snow were howling, and the curtains were flapping against the red pillars. With tears in the corners of his eyes, he kept smiling bitterly.
"I see……"
She asked why her temper had changed so much over the years and how she had become more irritable. It turned out that it was all because of the amulet that Yuetong had given her in the name of protecting her safety.
Shen Yuerong stepped forward to comfort her, while Heng Yu on the side spoke directly in a cold voice.
"It's no use getting angry here. Yuetong has done a lot of things behind your back. Do you know how your father's leg became lame?"
"And how come she just happened to appear and save you? Didn't you ever doubt it?"
Bai Xue was stunned on the spot, looking at Heng Yu in front of her in disbelief.
"What did you say? Weren't my father's legs broken by bandits?"
Heng Yu snorted coldly and said nothing more. Bai Xue could only look in the direction of Shen Yuerong and plead for mercy.
"Please tell me what happened, Princess. I caused my father to fall into the hands of bandits while trying to save me, and his legs and feet were broken. This has always been a concern of mine."
"I always feel that I have let my father down. It would be better if I were not so willful. But now tell me that all this happened for a reason!"
"Can you tell me?"
Seeing Bai Xue so excited, Shen Yuerong sighed and spoke.
"According to our investigation, the bandits who kidnapped you were arranged by Yuetong. She also killed them afterwards. However, one of them accidentally escaped and hid among the people. We found him out through our investigation."
"If you don't believe me, I can call someone to confront you."
Hearing this, Bai Xue angrily tore off the amulet she always wore around her waist and threw it on the ground. After stomping on it a few times, she looked at Shen Yuerong with tears in her eyes.
With a plop, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Yuerong.
"Please grant me your blessing, Princess. I am willing to serve you and only want revenge."
"I was engaged to someone, but this happened and my father was injured. I had no choice but to follow Yuetong in order to cure my father's illness."
"I have never cared about it over the years. Every time she asked me whether it would be windy or rainy, I told her the truth."
"Even though she claims that she has the power to call the shots, I still feel that she helped our father."
"But I didn't expect that everything was because of her!"
Having said that, Bai Xue gritted her teeth angrily, and her silver teeth seemed to be about to break.
Shen Yuerong looked at Bai Xue in front of her quietly, and did not help her up immediately, but spoke.
"We will be bringing the Saint back to Beijing soon. Are you willing to go back with us?"
"As for your parents, we have already protected them and sent them to a farm outside Beijing along with Xing'er's parents. We guarantee that there won't be any problems."
Perhaps it was because Shen Yuerong had saved her just now, so Bai Xue believed it very much and agreed directly and decisively.
Shen Yuerong helped her up and then gave her serious instructions.
"But from now on, you have to fake your death and never appear in front of Yuetong again."
Bai Xue nodded, and finally followed Heng Yu away.
While the others set up the scene, they placed the body of a dead woman at the bottom of the cliff outside the window.
The female corpse was covered in blood and her face could not be seen at all. She was just wearing Bai Xue's clothes and had a amulet around her waist.
After seeing the corpse, Yuetong did not laugh out loud, because she then regretted killing Bai Xue.
After all, she still needs to use Snow White's abilities to disguise herself as a saint.
But then she thought again, she would be going to the capital city during this period of time, and once she got there she might not need her ability to call the wind and rain, so it didn't matter.
That afternoon, Yue Tong called all the members of Shen Yuerong's delegation to the hall for a banquet.
As they drank, she took the opportunity to bring up the idea of returning to Beijing.
"I have already thought about what happened last time. Sooner or later, I will follow Brother Chi Mu back to the capital, so it is better to set off early."
"Maybe I can have a good New Year in the capital, and I can protect the people of the capital and keep them safe."
Lord Kang was extremely respectful to the Saint Lady, and did not notice the indifferent attitudes of Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu at all, nor did he respond to Yue Tong's words.
Chi Mu and Shen Yuerong did not speak. Lord Kang did not dare to speak at all. He just looked at Mu Lingchuan beside him, wanting him to speak up and remind the prince and the others.
Mu Lingchuan pretended not to see it, and Chi Mu even picked up some food for Shen Yuerong intimately, with a gentle and shallow smile on his face.
"Eat more, ma'am."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Yue Tong had never been so angry before, and suddenly a surge of rage surged in her heart.
She wanted to get angry, but when she thought of the prince's instructions, she had to swallow it back.
The breath was stuck in my throat and it was really uncomfortable.
But Yue Tong could only force a smile again and remind him.
"Brother Chi Mu, how about we set a time to return to Beijing earlier?"
This time Chi Mu pretended to hear it and looked in the direction of Shen Yuerong to ask.
"Madam, do you want to go back to Beijing?"
