"Don't be afraid, what's your name?"
“I…I am Zhao…Zhao Qingqing.”
"Qingqing, what a beautiful name."
Xu Suiyan smiled, took her hand, and gently stroked the back of her hand.
"We had no choice but to do this, please don't take it to heart. Actually, we are all good people."
Hearing Xu Suiyan say this, Zhao Qingqing not only did not feel relieved, but her body trembled even more violently.
Because the man's tone of voice was seemingly easygoing, but actually carried a deeper meaning.
"Why are you shaking so badly? Are you sick?"
Xu Suiyan asked softly.
Zhao Qingqing quickly shook her head: "No, no."
"No, you're shaking so badly." Xu Suiyan said with concern. "Tell me, where does it hurt? I can help you. Honesty is the most important thing to me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingqing mustered her courage and said, "Please, young master, could you... could you release my... family?"
Xu Suiyan smiled upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, I was injured and didn't make proper arrangements. Everything was decided on my friend's own initiative."
He only did that to your family because he was worried about my safety. Please forgive my rashness.
Zhao Qingqing kept shaking her head: "No, young master. I know you are a good person. You only did it because you had no other choice."
"I hope you can understand."
Xu Suiyan lifted the quilt and said to Uncle Sun Yu, "Uncle Sun, come with me to see our benefactor."
Sun Yushu replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Xu Suiyan reached out her hand to Zhao Qingqing: "I'm not feeling well, can you help me go with you?"
"Um."
Zhao Qingqing immediately helped Xu Suiyan and they went outside the courtyard together.
At this moment, Zhao Qingqing and her family were all tied to the wooden stakes outside the manor, their expressions tense, and their mouths were gagged with ropes.
"Waaaaah—"
Upon seeing Zhao Qingqing and Xu Suiyan's group appear, Zhao's father immediately wanted to yell at his daughter to remind her.
Unfortunately, his mouth was tied with a rope, so he couldn't express his true thoughts at all.
The next moment, Xu Suiyan grabbed Zhao Qingqing's shoulders, pulled her up in front of him, and whispered in her ear, "These are all your family members, right? Tell me, who should we put down first?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingqing looked at her father and whispered to Xu Suiyan, "Let my father go first."
"good."
Xu Suiyan answered very decisively.
"Uncle Sun, release them."
"Yes, Prince."
The next moment, Uncle Sun Yu suddenly cracked his long whip.
Zhao's father's head was instantly flung off his shoulder.
A pool of turbulent blood splattered and landed on Zhao Qingqing's face.
For a moment, her mind went blank.
Seeing her father's headless corpse still struggling on the wooden stake, Zhao Qingqing felt her body go limp and almost fell to the ground.
"Uncle Sun, didn't I tell you to release them? How can you take lives so easily?"
Xu Suiyan feigned displeasure and scolded Sun Yushu.
Then, with an apologetic expression, he said to Zhao Qingqing, "I'm sorry, my friend didn't listen to me and caused your father to lose his life in vain. Please forgive me."
Zhao Qingqing's body trembled uncontrollably; she still couldn't believe that what she was seeing was real.
"Next, shouldn't it be your mother?"
Before Xu Suiyan could finish speaking, Sun Yushu lashed him with the whip again.
In an instant, Zhao's mother's head was also blown off.
"mother!"
Zhao Qingqing finally couldn't hold back and started crying out loud.
These people murdered their own parents; they are all devils, devils!
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lao Sun, how can you do things like this? Quickly release the rest of them."
While expressing his apology, Xu Suiyan stretched Zhao Qingqing's eyelids as wide as possible.
He wanted Zhao Qingqing to witness the scene of her family's destruction and death.
It wasn't that he had a grudge against the Zhao family; it was just Xu Suiyan's simple aristocratic pleasure.
This is a characteristic that has been passed down since the time of his ancestor Xu Fengqing.
Compared to his ancestor Xu Fengqing, who liked to put people and wild animals in cages to fight each other, Xu Suiyan felt that his side was still lacking in taste.
With a flick of his long whip, a number of heads flew into the air, and the manor was littered with corpses and pools of blood.
"You beast, you devil! You killed my family."
Seeing her family members die tragically, Zhao Qingqing angrily turned around and was ready to fight Xu Suiyan to the death.
But the next moment, Xu Suiyan snapped her neck.
"What a pity, they really don't know what's good for them."
Xu Suiyan wiped his hands and looked at Zhao Qingqing, who was still dead, with a look of disgust.
"I initially thought you had some beauty, so I kept you as my maid for a few years. I killed your family to strengthen your resolve."
It's a pity you not only misunderstood my good intentions, but also tried to kill me. Alas, you are truly foolish.
"Uncle Sun, tidy this up, then go grab a few villagers and ask them if anyone knows how to cook. I'm hungry."
"yes……"
Just as Xu Suiyan was about to go back to her room to rest, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
"ancient!"
puff--
The newcomer was none other than Gu Qianqiu, who had just been brutally defeated by Liang Hao's trio.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood the moment he landed.
Xu Suiyan and Sun Yushu were also deeply shocked when they witnessed this scene.
"Your Highness, this place is not safe to stay any longer. We should leave immediately."
"What happened, Old Gu? How did you get hurt like this?"
"Don't ask anymore. Chu Guangyu is dead. He died at the hands of those three. My injuries were also caused by those three."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
