Lin Rushu, dressed in mourning attire, stepped forward and said coldly:
“Feng Hui, you conspired with my third uncle to frame me. Even if I have to go to the Dengwen Drum to appeal, I will pursue this matter to the end.”
Feng Hui grinned, "Who framed you? Don't talk nonsense. Do you have any evidence? You gave me this personal item yourself. How can you deny it? We made a vow of eternal love not long ago."
"Oh, I see. You want to be the principal wife but are unwilling to be a concubine, so you changed your mind, right? That's easy to discuss. I'll go back and talk to my elders. Maybe I can make you a secondary wife?"
[Aaaaaah, I'm going to kill someone!]
[Damn, that face makes me want to vomit!]
[Where's my laser cannon? I'll blast this swordsman to death!]
[So you've been sealed off, huh? Come on, does the Feng family have anyone else? I'll take you all on one-on-one!]
Uh, well, he... he should be expelled from the family register!
[To the Feng family members in front, you wait! Go explain yourself properly in the supertopic later. If you don't satisfy us, you might get a sack over your head when you go out!]
Uh, okay, okay, hehehehe.
On the spot, Huo Baijun couldn't hold back any longer, "I'll shut your stinking mouth up and personally wash it for you today."
Feng Hui immediately hid behind his attendants and shouted:
"What business is it of yours what Huo Baijun is? I'm arguing with my sweetheart, it's unreasonable for you to interfere, right? Don't tell me you're her lover too? Tsk tsk, Lin Rushu, you really are a fickle woman, you flirted with me and then went to seduce other men..."
"Huo Baijun!"
The sudden cold shout startled Huo Baijun. He stopped listening to Feng Hui's foul language, rushed forward, shoved aside Feng's servants, grabbed Feng Hui by the neck, and dragged him over.
At the street corner, Xiao Zhixing rode over, carrying a severed head in his hand and his chest stained with blood.
His murderous intent was overwhelming.
The onlookers in the surrounding mansions trembled with fear; some of the more timid ones screamed in terror, while others fainted.
Huo Baijun tossed the screaming and cursing Feng Hui to the soldiers to hold her back, and asked her urgently, "What happened?"
Xiao Zhixing remained calm, tossing the bloodied head to a soldier. "We encountered a few insects on the way, and we've already killed them. Take this back and let me investigate it thoroughly."
Let's rewind to fifteen minutes earlier, to Xiao Zhixing's side.
As she walked through the West District, just as she entered the border area between the West and North Districts, six men in black flew down from both sides of the street, aiming straight for her face.
"Blood Night!"
"hiss--"
Blood Night roared, its front hooves slamming into two men in black, sending them flying.
Xiao Zhixing drew his sword to meet the attack. The sword flashed, and two heads flew off, instantly killing four of the enemy.
The leader was horrified and turned to flee.
"Trying to leave?"
Ruoshui fired the bullet, piercing the man's back; the other man had already been killed by Ying Er who had arrived.
The assassination attempt ended quickly, a half-hearted effort, as the attacker was not a skilled individual.
Finally, she cut off the leader's head and carried it directly to the Lin residence.
She admitted she did it on purpose, but she wasn't responsible for who was frightened.
He dismounted and looked at Lin Rushu; with just one glance, tears welled up in Lin Rushu's eyes.
She opened her mouth to speak, but could only choke back sobs.
Xiao Zhixing strode over and said, "Why are you crying? I'm here."
"Mmm, mmm!" Lin Rushu covered her mouth, smiling, her thin cheeks covered with tears, her eyes full of gratitude and joy.
Li Wenxiu, who was delayed on the way and almost got caught and taken back, also arrived. She ran up and hugged the aggrieved Lin Rushu, "That's great, that's great, Sister Rushu. With Sister Zhixing here, no one can bully you anymore."
They felt that Xiao Zhixing was the most reliable person in the world; with her around, they had nothing to fear.
Xiao Zhixing patted Lin Rushu, then turned and glanced at the people still watching the commotion:
"I will settle the matter between Feng Hui and Miss Lin right here today. Miss Lin is my close friend, and I will take charge of this matter."
Feng Hui was bent over by the weight, and looked up in a disheveled state, cursing angrily, "Xiao Zhixing, don't even think about protecting her. Lin Rushu is fickle and has already pledged her life to me. There's no way I'll let her go."
Xiao Zhixing didn't even bother to glance at him, and went straight to Lin Rushu, asking, "Have you noticed anything? What do you need me to do?"
Lin Rushu wiped away her tears. "My personal maid is missing. My third aunt knows. Finding that maid will prove my innocence."
"Okay, you wait."
She waved to someone in the shadows, and Ying Er took the order and turned to find someone.
The guards were very brutal. First, they threw the Lin family's third master and his wife, who had been tortured, over. Not long after, they returned with a little maid.
The three people collapsed on the ground at the gate, terrified.
Xiao Zhixing gestured with his chin.
Huo Baijun understood, and with a wicked grin, he slammed the assassin's head down in front of the three men.
"Ahhh!!" Aunt Lin's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The other two weren't much better off; they just didn't faint.
"Third Master Lin, speak up. Our young prince has a bad temper. If you don't behave, your head will be like this in the next moment," Huo Baijun threatened with an evil look.
Lin Sanye, his lower body dripping yellow, trembled and screamed in terror: "I'll talk! I'll talk! It was Feng Hui! He... he gave me three thousand taels of silver and asked me to fetch my niece's personal belongings for him! I bribed this maid to fetch them! I didn't do it on purpose! I... I... spare me! Spare me!"
Feng Hui snapped angrily, "Shut up! How dare you falsely accuse me?"
Third Master Lin bit him like a vicious dog, "I have evidence! When your servant saw me, his name tag fell off! I secretly followed him, and afterwards he went to see you at Fuyuan Restaurant!"
He searched through the crowd and exclaimed, "It's him! He's the one who gave me the silver note!"
Feng Hui's face turned ashen.
The attendant had already been captured by the soldiers and brought over.
