Yan Xiao was prepared for Jiang Xinrui to speak ill of her to Shen Muzhi, and she wasn't flustered at all.
The original owner's background was enough to cover up all the oddities about her.
The original owner, who was just a tool in the story, died before her background could be revealed in the original book. Even if Jiang Xinrui were to be reborn, she wouldn't know. So no matter what she says, she has a way to deal with it.
She had been eavesdropping outside the door, but then the sounds coming from inside suddenly became strange.
Although Shen Muzhi's voice was soft, her senses were now far beyond those of ordinary people. Pressing against the door, she seemed to hear Shen Muzhi calling for Madam. Although the voice was low, she could hear the surprise and unease in it.
Yan Xiao was filled with questions, wondering if she had misheard. Why was this person calling her at this time?
Before she could react, Shen Muzhi's deep, slightly husky voice entered her ears again, carrying a hint of restraint and even a touch of sexiness.
"The poison hasn't been neutralized... No way." These words sent a jolt through Yan Xiao. Even if she were slow-witted, she could sense that something was wrong.
She didn't have time to think and kicked the door open.
The moment the door opened, she saw Jiang Xinrui, disheveled, lunge at Shen Muzhi, her hand about to touch him.
With his back to her, Shen Muzhi couldn't see his expression at all.
Seeing this scene, an inexplicable rage surged within her. Without even thinking, she quickly arrived beside Jiang Xinrui, picked up Shen Muzhi's sword, and slashed directly at Jiang Xinrui's arm.
Her movements were so fast that her sword rose and fell without the slightest pause or hesitation.
The next instant, with a scream from Jiang Xinrui, her arm, which was about to touch Shen Muzhi, fell to the ground with a thud.
It's a long story, but it only took a moment.
After Yan Xiao finished slashing Jiang Xinrui, the nameless fire in her heart did not go out. She raised her hand and pointed the sword at Shen Muzhi.
I was just about to ask him what he was doing. He said he was here to help her ask the person behind Jiang Xinrui, so why was he taking off his clothes?
Although she had said that Shen Muzhi could coax Jiang Xinrui a little, she didn't tell him to coax her into bed.
But when she saw Shen Muzhi's current appearance, she swallowed back the question she was about to ask, and her rationality, which had led her to run away from home, instantly returned.
Shen Muzhi's face was unusually red, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his breathing was heavy, and his eyes were full of defensiveness as if he were looking at a stranger.
What's wrong with you?
When Yan Xiao asked her a question, Shen Muzhi staggered back two steps, as if trying to distance himself from her.
Upon hearing Yan Xiao's question, he stopped retreating and looked at Yan Xiao with a mixture of doubt and restraint.
"Who, who are you?" The man's voice sounded like his wife's, but his wife didn't look like that. He remembered that his wife looked like a black cat.
Shen Muzhi's mind was becoming increasingly unclear, and his memories were becoming confused.
He glanced at the woman on the ground, who was groaning in pain. Her face was turning black and white, like a chameleon.
Seeing Shen Muzhi's current state, Yan Xiao's gaze darkened, and she turned around, pointing her sword directly at Jiang Xinrui, whose face was contorted in pain.
What did you do?
Jiang Xinrui clutched her bleeding arm, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred as she looked at Yan Xiao.
She gave a low, bitter laugh, her voice filled with resentment:
"I won't tell you, hehehe~, I'm already ruined, if I'm not doing well, none of you will be doing well either."
I won't tell you anything. I won't tell you anything, and you won't know anything. I'm going to make you live in fear and anxiety, hahahaha~.
Yan Xiao looked at Jiang Xinrui, who was already somewhat delirious, and cursed under her breath. Before she could think of anything else, she wanted to check on Shen Muzhi's physical condition first.
As a result, when she took a step forward, Shen Muzhi defensively took a step back, looking like a young wife afraid of being violated.
Yan Xiao was an impatient person. She quickly caught up with him and reached out to grab Shen Muzhi's arm, but Shen Muzhi ended up hitting her instead.
Fortunately, Shen Muzhi was not clear-headed at the moment, and his body was also suffering from some kind of torment, so his movements were somewhat slow, but he could still manage to talk and laugh.
But this makes it impossible to give him a thorough examination, let alone treat him.
After a few rounds, Yan Xiao lost her temper and slapped Shen Muzhi across the face.
"Shen Muzhi, try moving again, or I'll abandon you!"
In all his years, Shen Muzhi has only ever been humiliated by one person: his wife.
The familiar recipe made him clear his mind for a moment. He squinted at Yan Xiao, and then the guarded expression on his face quickly turned into aggrieved.
He gripped Yanxiao's arm tightly, as if afraid she would run away.
"Madam, I feel unwell."
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Yan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and began to examine Shen Muzhi while he was still in that position:
"Upon seeing this, her expression, which had initially eased, became even more unpleasant."
Shen Muzhi's body at this moment was like a container that could explode at any moment; if left unchecked, he would surely die.
Based on Yan Xiao's reaction to Jiang Xinrui's actions upon entering and Shen Muzhi's demeanor, he assumed that Jiang Xinrui had given Shen Muzhi a hallucinogenic drug, but he never expected that Jiang Xinrui wanted Shen Muzhi dead.
"You want to kill him?"
Yan Xiao's gaze towards Jiang Xinrui was like it was carrying a knife, and Jiang Xinrui, who was originally somewhat crazy, was stunned.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she started laughing to herself again, muttering incomprehensible things:
"Hehehehe~, men are all the same, hahahaha, not a single one of them is any good. They all want me dead, hahaha~, it's good that they're dead, all of them die, all of them die, hehehe~"
Yan Xiao looked at Jiang Xinrui's current state and knew that she wouldn't get any more information from her, and Shen Muzhi couldn't delay any longer.
This is a critical moment, and we absolutely cannot let anyone know about Shen Muzhi's current situation, especially Qi Chengfeng.
She looked at Jiang Xinrui on the ground, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She knew without a doubt that Jiang Xinrui was just stalling for time. If she continued to entangle with her, Jiang Xinrui would not reveal who was behind her.
Since that's the case, there's no need for Jiang Xinrui to continue living. As for the person behind it all, as long as they exist, they will definitely reappear. We'll just have to take it one step at a time.
Having made up his mind, Yan Xiao raised his sword and slashed at Jiang Xinrui's neck.
Just as the sword was about to touch Jiang Xinrui's neck, she suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes, and the next moment she found herself in a vast, white open space.
