"They lied. They didn't come to offer help in times of need; they came to find fault with Uncle Zhou."
"As soon as these people saw me, they threatened me with a knife and tried to kidnap me."
"I was scared. My legs went weak and I fell to the ground. It's my fault for being too weak. If I hadn't fallen, the guard wouldn't have been accidentally stabbed by his companion. Please don't be angry with me, Cheng..."
A woman whose eyes are always on you and who even acts coquettishly towards you.
A menacing, scheming man wielding a knife.
Zhou Cheng naturally believed Cheng Xianyi's intentions.
Besides,
How could he not know what kind of person his fiancée is?
When he arrived, he clearly saw Cheng Xianyi being chased and fleeing by a group of people, her eyes filled with tears, stubbornly refusing to cry, and finally falling on the official road.
How could his fiancée, who couldn't even lift a knife, possibly slit his throat without batting an eye?
joke!
impossible!
"My eldest sister is proud and arrogant. She was heartbroken when she married into the Marquis's family. Why would she rashly let you deliver supplies? Nonsense!" Zhou Cheng smiled contemptuously.
With a raised hand, he gave the order, a single, effortless sentence that sealed the fate of dozens: "Black Rat, leave no one alive."
Big sister?
So, he is Zhou Cheng?
The only legitimate son of the Zhou family?
So, this woman... is Zhou Cheng's fiancée?
Miss Cheng? The apple of the eye of the Grand Tutor's family in the capital?
This is the pitiful woman they think is all alone, without any backing, and can be bullied at will.
The deputy guard stared wide-eyed, never expecting that he would die before even setting foot in Jiangling City. He died on the way, without even entering the city. He cried out in frustration, "Young Master Zhou!"
"I really was sent by the Madam to provide support!"
"Look at our carriage, it's still loaded with grain and winter supplies. It's not much, but it's all thanks to Madam for your kindness!"
"Young Master Zhou, no matter what, we are your elder sister's in-laws and bodyguards. How could you listen to a woman's slander and put us to death? We are wronged... Ah!!"
One scream after another rang out.
Before they could even resist or escape, their throats were slit with a single stroke.
Fearing that the bloody scene would frighten Cheng Xianyi, Zhou Chengsheng considerately covered Cheng Xianyi's ears to prevent her from facing the bloody scene.
Standing at a distance, ignored by everyone else: "........."
"Ah Cheng, they also said that your eldest sister is in danger, and the Marquis seems to be planning to kill her..."
"Black Rat, leave one alive for interrogation."
"yes!"
Apart from the deputy guard who was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder, everyone else was killed instantly.
After dealing with this matter, Zhou Chengqing checked the supplies on the carriage and, after confirming that there were no problems, prepared to take them back to Jiangling City.
Until this point,
Only then did everyone notice the purple smoke that was 'frightened' in the distance.
“This young lady… you look familiar… Xianyi, did we have this maid in our manor before?” Grand Tutor Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Ziyan’s face for a long while.
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.
Ziyan's brow twitched.
During the prison break, although I wore a mask, my figure and eyes couldn't be hidden. Could it be that Grand Tutor Cheng would recognize me?
"Father, I have a headache." Cheng Xianyi glanced at Grand Tutor Cheng indifferently.
