Ye Hongtu flashed in front of the maid Shaoyao.

Then, his inner energy burst out, transforming into a tremendous momentum that instantly enveloped Shaoyao, causing her figure to suddenly freeze.

However, facing Ye Hongtu's actions.

Shaoyao's eyes were full of sarcasm: "I want to die, can you stop me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a look of pain appeared on her face, and then dark black blood flowed out from the corners of her lips.

In an instant, her face turned pale and all the energy in her body was gone.

Seeing this, Ye Hongtu's expression suddenly changed, and the pressure he exerted on Shaoyao was withdrawn.

Then Shaoyao's body fell straight back, and with a "thump", she fell heavily to the ground.

When Ye Hongtu leaned over to check her breath, he discovered that the maid had lost all signs of life.

"Dead?"

"What a strong poison!"

Ye Hongtu said with a gloomy face.

With the speed at which he had just come out, if the maid had not taken poison in advance, it would have been impossible for her to commit suicide in front of him.

Obviously, the maid knew she was going to die, so she took the poison in advance.

Thinking of this, Ye Hongtu suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Shiqing with complicated eyes.

At this moment, Ye Shiqing seemed stunned by this sudden incident. She opened her mouth slightly, her face full of disbelief.

"How...how could this happen?"

"Peony...actually committed suicide?"

"Even though you betrayed me, we are still like sisters after all!"

Ye Shiqing murmured a few words, and tears instantly burst out of her eyes.

Her body went limp, and she fell to her knees with a plop.

It was a drama of "deep love between master and servant".

[This maid doesn't even want her life? ]

[What kind of magic potion did Ye Shiqing feed her to make her willingly take the blame for her? ]

[Or is it that this maid has fallen for her as the protagonist? ]

Even Ye Chuyao was shocked by what happened before her.

"What a great Ye Shiqing!"

Mrs. Xiao took a deep look at Ye Shiqing. Now she realized that she knew too little about this adopted daughter who was only ten years old.

I just thought she was very nice before, but I never expected that her scheming side was so scary.

"This this this...dead?"

Ye Yunping looked at the scene in amazement.

If you die like this, who should I hold accountable for scolding me just now?

Ye Yunge and Ye Yunwu looked at each other, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.

"Death warrior?"

This word came to both of their minds at the same time.

Then they turned their eyes to Ye Shiqing:

"Even though I knew this woman was very dangerous, I never thought she would be so powerful."

Ye Hongtu stood up slowly and ordered coldly: "Come on, find a place to bury me."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Ye Shiqing: "Let's end this matter here."

"From now on, be more vigilant towards those around you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

[Interesting, interesting, you are worthy of being the heroine, you just managed to escape this disaster? ]

[Hehe, but this is not fun. When I grow up, I will have fun with you and Gu Changhe.]

[Based on my skills as Xiaoyao Xianzun, I wonder if I can make you lose your temper? 】

Hearing her daughter's thoughts, Mrs. Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She glanced at Ye Shiqing, and then winked at Ye Yunge and his two brothers.

Several people left here one after another.

Until all the bodies disappeared, Ye Shiqing stood up again.

She wiped the tears from her face, her eyes turned cold: "It seems that I was a little too hasty."

"This plan is clearly not perfect."

"It's just that the broken silk..."

She still didn't understand why Ye Yunge volunteered to repel insects for the seven-colored sunflower.

Have you found any clues?

Or is it still like this?

But if this is the case, how come they are so good at mastering the method of expelling the seven-colored demon spider?

"Is it true, as Changhe speculated, that there is a high-level person behind the Ye family?"

"But, if such a person really exists, who is he?"

Ye Shiqing's eyes kept flickering, and thoughts flashed through her mind.

"Oh, forget it. If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it."

"No matter who it is, if he shows up enough times, he will naturally reveal his true colors."

"Today's plan has completely failed, and Ye Hongtu obviously doesn't believe me."

"It seems that we should live a more peaceful life in the days ahead."

Thinking of this, Ye Shiqing's gaze fell on Shaoyao's body again.

"Peony, you did a great job this time."

"Don't worry, your brother, we will take good care of him."

"When the time comes, we will use the heads of the Ye family members as a memorial to you, okay?"

........

At the same time, the second prince and the sixth princess had returned to the palace to report.

Emperor Yanwu sat high on the dragon throne and listened silently to the statement of the second prince Yan Gu.

"Yan Ying, do you know you are wrong?"

Emperor Yanwu's tone was extremely indifferent.

"Father, it's obviously the damned one from the Ye Mansion who deliberately used the spider to scare me, my son..."

Having said this, Yan Ying met Emperor Yanwu's eyes that were devoid of any warmth. Her heart shuddered violently, and she swallowed all the words that followed.

"Your son...your son knows his mistake!"

Yan Ying changed her words.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Yanwu asked.

"You shouldn't say such stupid things like killing Yefu for such a small matter."

As soon as Yan Ying finished speaking, Emperor Yanwu angrily scolded:

"Stupid, you still don't know where you went wrong!"

"As the sixth princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, wherever you go, you represent my reputation."

"As the saying goes, if the ruler orders his subjects to die, the subjects have to die."

"If that's the case, and you want to chop off the heads of all the members of the Ye family, then they should just obey obediently and stretch their necks to wait for death."

Emperor Yanwu paused at this point and said:

“We have it in our hearts, but how to use it is a science.”

"Your thoughts today are correct. They offended the most honorable Sixth Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, so they all deserve to die."

"But the way you swung it was very problematic, so instead of hurting others, you hurt yourself first."

Emperor Yanwu's words were so confusing that Yanying couldn't understand them at all with his limited brain capacity.

She looked at the Second Prince for help.

However, the second prince was too lazy to pay attention to her. At this moment, he was thinking about what Emperor Yanwu had just said.

"Gu'er, do you understand what your father just said?"

Emperor Yanwu turned his gaze to Yan Gu.

"Father's meaning is that we, the Yan clan, obey the will of Heaven and rule the people. We are Heaven."

"Since it is God, whatever we do is right."

"But if you want to get rid of the eyesore, you have to pay attention to the proper method."

"You must not let go of any gossip!"

The second prince said word by word.

"Well said! You have made progress!"

"Ying'er, go down and think carefully."

"Yes, I will take my leave!"

After Yan Ying left, Emperor Yanwu looked at the second prince Yan Gu:

"Ye Hongtu dared to show off his power to you today. It's obvious that he doesn't take me seriously."

"It seems that getting rid of the Ye family is urgent."

"Send a message to Gu Yancheng. Some plans should be put into motion."

........

In the Ye Mansion, Liu Anxiu and Ye Shiqing sat opposite each other.

"Shiqing, you really scared me today."

"That old bastard Ye Hongtu actually put me under house arrest. I'm afraid he'll do something to you."

"It's just a pity for Shaoyao."

A look of regret appeared on Liu Anxiu's face.

"It's nothing to regret. She's just a maid."

"However, today's incident has reminded us that the Ye Mansion may not be as simple as we imagined."

Ye Shiqing said in a cold tone.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Liu Anxiu asked with a frown.

"Mom, have you forgotten something?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Anxiu asked puzzledly.

"Today is the baby's full month, but Xiao is still strong and healthy, better than ever before."

"Tell me, why doesn't the Netherworld Blood Ganoderma have any effect?"

Hearing Ye Shiqing's words, Liu Anxiu responded immediately.

"Who says it's not?"

"Your uncle Gu said that if you take this Netherworld Blood Ganoderma continuously, your soul will disappear within a month."

"But Xiao's face is rosy and his blood is full. He doesn't look like he's dying."

"Could it be that the Ganoderma Lucidum is not the Netherworld Blood Ganoderma, but the legendary Thousand-Year Blood Ganoderma Lucidum?"

"If that's the case, then aren't we helping the Xiao family?"

Even though Liu Anxiu was well versed in pharmacology, she was not sure whether that thing was the thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum, and she was afraid that Gu Yancheng had made a mistake.

"Mother, don't be so suspicious. That Ganoderma lucidum is indeed the Netherworld Blood Ganoderma. I am very sure of it."

"Since Xiao was not poisoned, we can only say that she never took the Nether Blood Fat from the beginning to the end."

Ye Shiqing inferred this.

"Impossible. When she was taking the medicinal diet, I clearly saw red Ganoderma lucidum flesh in the bowl."

"Moreover, I also ordered the maid to pay special attention to the medicinal food residues that Grandma Liu threw away. There are often Ganoderma lucidum meat residues in them."

Liu Anxiu said with frown.

"Mother, seeing is not necessarily believing."

"That Ganoderma lucidum must be the Netherworld Blood Ganoderma."

"Think about Ye Yunping, Lu Zhixing, and what happened today."

"It was a foolproof plan, but it all went wrong."

Liu Anxiu thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

"It seems that this Ye Mansion is indeed not as simple as we imagined." Liu Anxiu said in a heavy tone.

"Mother, try to go to Ci'en Temple less often in the future!"

"I'm afraid they've become suspicious of us."

Ye Shiqing said so.

"Um!"

Liu Anxiu nodded in agreement.

........

The next morning.

"Husband, how are your arrangements for sending a matchmaker to the Song family to propose marriage?"

Ye Hongtu asked Mr. Xiao.

"Master, don't worry."

"Yun Ge's marriage will definitely be successful!"

"What was Song Guangxiao thinking when he brought his daughter here yesterday? I can tell at a glance."

"Now that our Yun Ge likes his daughter, it is a great thing for his Song family."

"He had absolutely no reason to refuse."

Xiao Fu's tone was extremely firm.

"Hahahaha, my husband is still very clear-sighted."

"I, Ye Hongtu, am indeed a rough man and not good at these twists and turns."

Hearing this, Xiao Fu rolled his eyes at him.

"You mean to say that I'm too scheming?"

"No, no, no, my husband misunderstood. I definitely don't have such an idea."

Ye Hongtu made many moves.

Ye Chuyao stared with her big dark eyes, watching her parents showing their affection without blinking.

[Wow, aren’t mom and dad so sweet? ]

[They look so loving! ]

[Come to think of it, Daddy and Mommy are really quick. Yesterday they saw someone that Big Brother liked, and today they asked her to come and propose marriage.]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems like they really want to hold their grandchildren. ]

Hearing her daughter's mumbling, Mrs. Xiao's face turned slightly red.

"Well, stop being mean, dog... His Majesty the Emperor summoned you, probably because of what happened yesterday."

"Master, you must be more humble and don't push your luck."

"It's better to take a step back and admit your mistake to him. After all, you saved the royal family's face yesterday."
