Chapter 189
Pei Lingjun's gaze fell on him, his face expressionless.
He had committed many crimes in Shanzhou for years, and his two children were arrogant and domineering.
Whenever he thought of that day outside the city, when He Chang dragged Wen Shu onto the carriage with the intention of doing something indecent to her, he felt his blood rush to his head and his eyes burned with barely suppressed rage.
Not content with breaking He Chang's arm, the He family dared to repeatedly try to harm Wen Shu?
It seems they think they've lived too long.
The young man in purple sneered, "Lord He, why don't you ask what your good daughter did? She dared to hurt my people; it's already merciful of me not to take her life."
The head of the He family was extremely annoyed. He had warned them time and again not to provoke the young lady surnamed Wen, but she just ignored his words!
"Xuan'er! Come down quickly!" The head of the He family, panting heavily, ran to the backyard and saw the group facing off on the roof. He immediately shouted, "Come down quickly..."
He Baixuan saw the young man in purple brocade robes slowly approaching, and her face immediately turned deathly pale. She squatted on the rooftop, shaking her head repeatedly, "No...no, Father! I'll die! Can you bear to watch your daughter die—"
Pei Lingjun frowned, the morning dew and sunlight unable to penetrate the young man's eyes and brows.
What are you still standing there for?
With just six words, several shadow guards instantly attacked, their aim to kill them.
While fighting the three shadow guards, Gu Yu also had to protect He Baixuan. After several exchanges, Gu Yu had already sustained several wounds.
The blood seeped into the black clothes, making it not very noticeable.
He Baixuan grabbed the hem of his robe, her palm touching the sticky substance on it, and realized that Gu Yu was about to give up.
She was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, and tiles slid off the eaves one after another. Gu Yu only heard a scream from the woman behind him. He didn't care about dodging the deadly move in front of him. He leaned back and took a few steps to fly up, and fell heavily off the eaves while holding the woman!
A cracking sound rang in her ears. He Baixuan got up from Gu Yu and saw Gu Yu coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. The sword wound in his back was aimed squarely at his heart, and he was clearly not going to survive...
Her scalp tingled and went numb. Helplessly, He Baixuan reached out to touch him, only to find her hands covered in blood.
"Gu Yu...you..."
"Don't cry..."
The man's mask was knocked off, revealing most of his face stained with blood. However, he clearly didn't care about that anymore, his dark eyes fixed on her.
Three years ago, he saved her life outside the city. At that time, the girl was cunning and clever. He was willing to stay by her side for many years. He had done some immoral things and suffered all kinds of injustices. As long as she was happy and carefree, that was better than anything else.
pity...
"That settles things once and for all..."
He Baixuan watched helplessly as the person died, and a belated sense of fear washed over her, making her tremble all over.
"Father, please save me! It has nothing to do with me! It was Lu Rou who did it all by herself!"
Ignoring the wailing and howling inside the courtyard, the young man in purple turned and walked away. Behind him, Cui Pei called for two shadow guards to hold her down, pressing the tip of their swords against the woman's flesh. Soon after, a woman screamed, and then it stopped abruptly!
The morning sun rose over the city walls.
The entire Lu household was thrown into chaos.
The reason is simple: Lu Rou has disappeared!
Thanks to the proper handling of the aftermath involving the He family and Yunshui Tower, the shadow guards concealed their presence and, as usual, remained on high alert near the courtyard.
Wen Shu waited anxiously outside the door. She had just learned that Lu Rou was missing and feared that Pei Lingjun was ruthless and might have killed Lu Rou.
If that happens, how will she face Lu Jiang and her maternal grandmother in the future?
How could she possibly face her deceased maternal grandfather?
