"Ms. Su, please stay..."
A sinister male voice made Xu Xianxian's slow steps stop involuntarily.
She turned her head and saw a middle-aged steward with a feminine appearance and a fur hat standing not far away with several burly guards.
Thanks to Su Yuechen's own memories, Xu Xianxian quickly recognized that these people were not ordinary servants, but the eldest lady's subordinates.
"This steward has magical fluctuations on his body, and he is not hiding them. However, his rank is not high. He is a fourth-ring magician, which is far inferior to an adult fairy..."
The other party was the first magician she had met, but his rank was not high. However, this did not mean anything. After all, the steward in the mansion was only responsible for the administrative area and did not have to fight. His status was higher than that of an ordinary servant, but he was just a servant after all.
As for the few security guards, they were just ordinary people, just with burly builds, who had practiced some simple moves and acted as minor thugs.
"Manager Chen, what brings you here today?"
Xu Xianxian smiled slightly, her voice was as light as the breeze, and the pattern between her eyebrows glowed faintly, adding a bit of beauty.
She has to put on a complete show. She is in this strange world and doesn't understand the specific situation, so she won't go on a killing spree in broad daylight.
But she wanted to see what this so-called eldest lady could do to her.
Manager Chen looked at Su Yuechen, who was smiling like a flower, and his feminine eyes flashed with a bit of fear and an inexplicable disbelief.
"I saw with my own eyes that her intestines were ripped apart by the Seven-Step Powder poison and she was dead beyond death. How did she come back to life?"
Hearing the girl's question, his mind was filled with complicated and inexplicable emotions.
Unlike the Fu'an people who buried the bodies, he saw with his own eyes how Su Yuechen and her daughter died. The painful cries before death and the helpless and desperate pleas for mercy were still echoing in his ears.
"I noticed that you and your daughter have been missing from your house for several days, and I'm a little concerned, so I came to inquire about the details."
Manager Chen is a magician after all, and he is knowledgeable. He would not shout "there is a ghost" like ordinary people like Fu'an. Although he was also terrified, he suppressed his fear.
"Butler, you've been a little forgetful..." Xu Xianxian smiled even more charmingly at this time. The corners of her lips curled up as she whispered, "A few days ago, you delivered a drink containing Qibusan to my door. Unfortunately, not only did I not die, but thanks to you, I also awakened a new bloodline..."
"Ms. Su! What are you talking about?! Why can't I understand a single word you say?!"
It was broad daylight and there were other people walking on the road. When Manager Chen heard this, his expression immediately changed. He didn't care whether Su Yuechen was a human or a ghost, and hurriedly interrupted the other party's words in a timid manner.
He understood that the girl in front of him was the real Su Yuechen, and she still remembered what he had done.
The eldest lady had assassinated the lord's illegitimate children more than once, but only Su Yuechen survived unexpectedly.
But what can we do about it?
Since he could be poisoned once, he could be poisoned a second time. Living in the huge Su Mansion, this Su Yuechen had no background, no connections, was ignored by the lord, and was an ordinary person without any magical powers. Isn't it normal for him to die of a serious illness?
"You know what I want to say."
Xu Xianxian couldn't help but frown when she was interrupted by a low-level wizard. Ever since she became a legendary fairy, even the great wizard had to tremble in fear in front of her, fearing that her soul would be devoured if she said a wrong word.
The natives of this world are really bold!
She sneered twice, shrugged her shoulders, ignored these people, turned around and walked home.
"...Su Yuechen, don't get too complacent. Even though you failed this time, the Madam won't let you go."
Seeing the girl who used to walk on thin ice in front of him now walking away without giving him any face, Manager Chen's eyes became more vicious. He looked at her leaving back and muttered to himself.
Su Yuechen actually said that she had awakened her bloodline. Regardless of the authenticity of this information, she must report it to the doctor first.
The eldest lady is the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family in Fengwu Province. Her family is much larger than the Su family in Wuliu City. She has a very deep background and extensive network of contacts. Therefore, over the years, she has been deeply favored by the lord. Even the second and third ladies who came later could not compete with her for favor.
Previously, the eldest lady had secretly attacked several illegitimate children, and the lord knew about it, but he only scolded her a few words and turned a blind eye to it.
This is a secret unknown to most people in the mansion. They just think that those children were born with congenital defects and died of serious illnesses.
Not to mention this illegitimate daughter without magical blood. ——My Lord, you are such a cold-blooded person who only cares about bloodline and background!
"Manager Chen, do you want to wait until she comes back before we take action?"
Several security guards came over and suggested in a low voice.
"Don't move a damn thing! Everything awaits the Madam's orders!"
Manager Chen cursed, patted the head of the security guards, and then left.
Not long after they left, a short figure vaguely emerged in the air. It was Su Li, the fourteen-year-old genius son of the second wife of the Su family.
Su Li inherited a very high concentration of Su family blood, and perfectly integrated the magical blood of his mother's side, so he was born as a first-ring magician. Now, at the age of fourteen, his rank has reached the sixth ring, and he is a well-known genius in the entire Wuliu City.
Even the eldest lady could only envy, be jealous and hate him, but she did not dare to kill him secretly. This kind of genius bloodline was not something that a nobody like Su Yuechen could compare to. If it was touched, it would immediately become a dispute among the aristocratic families behind it, and even the lord would take lightning-fast action.
"Auntie is truly ruthless. In order to gather high-level blood for my second brother, she has killed many of my father's illegitimate children. Now even Sister Yuechen can't escape this bad fate."
Su Li naturally took the previous scene in sight. He sighed, but his tone did not show any worry for his half-sister. He just thought it was a bit funny, as if he had watched a real-life drama when he was free.
He was only fourteen years old. He had been the center of attention since childhood and was a talented magician. Naturally, he didn't understand why this poor sister Yuechen was struggling and falling into depravity in the Su Mansion.
As for life and death?
Everyone in this world believes in only one truth, that is, the strong are respected.
All orders and rules are based on this principle, so even if this weak sister Yuechen was killed, he would not feel any sadness.
The weak will either be killed by this person or that person, and the ending will not be good anyway.
