The sharp part of the candlestick pierced Chen Mingzhao's heart from behind, and the intense pain in his heart instantly sobered him up.
The moment his lips parted, blood gushed uncontrollably from his throat.
He raised his eyes slightly, his survival instinct driving him to reach out and touch the person's skirt: "Help...help me..."
Under the lush lamplight, Bai Yan walked over from the side.
Chen Mingzhao is an absolute psychopath. In the story, he is infatuated with the female lead but ruthless to everyone else.
Yet this person, who could so cruelly murder even young children, was a close friend of the female protagonist, Liu Yunrou.
"Save me..." Chen Mingzhao stretched out his hand with difficulty: "I am... the heir of the Marquis's mansion, I'll give it to you..."
Bai Yan stepped on his chest, and the candlestick pierced through Chen Mingzhao's heart.
He looked at Bai Yan with a vicious and resentful gaze.
Bai Yan's gaze was indifferent as she quietly watched him breathe his last before stopping.
It was no secret in the Marquis's mansion that Chen Mingzhao enjoyed torturing and killing people, but it was shameful for such things to get out. Therefore, Chen Mingzhao's courtyard was located in a remote area, and he usually did not have servants come close to serve him when he was doing things, which made it convenient for Bai Yan.
She tore her clothes into a mess and ruffled her hair, making her look like she had just finished having sex with someone in the mirror.
He then opened the door and naturally walked into the outer room, ordering the servants on either side, "Go and fetch a set of servants' clothes from the manor."
"Why take off someone else's clothes?" The servant looked at Bai Yan strangely.
Bai Yan replied naturally, "It was the young master's order."
She then slightly curved her red lips into a smile: "I'll wear it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the servant who had asked the question looked up at her.
The girl's face was flushed as if she were drunk, especially her pair of dark eyes, which were as bright as stars. The Bai family had sent her a real beauty... It was intoxicating to look at her. Indeed, anyone who saw such a beauty would feel sorry for her. No wonder the young master wanted to try something new with her.
Before long, the clothes were brought over by a servant. Bai Yan reached out to take them, but the servant on the other side felt something was strange and asked, "Why doesn't the young master come and tell us himself?"
In the past, those who were brought into this courtyard were either lucky enough to leave alive, or unlucky enough to come in unharmed and then leave piece by piece.
Where can you find someone like her?
Bai Yan didn't argue. She gently curved her red lips into a smile. "Alright, then I won't go into the room. Go and call the young master to come out and get it."
After she finished speaking, she made a move to sit down in the corridor. Another servant next to her quickly said, "He just doesn't know how to speak. Miss, you should go inside quickly, lest the young master get angry."
Bai Yan's eyes flickered, she gave a soft hum, and then took the clothes into the house.
"Why are you praising her so much?" Another servant, feeling slighted, was naturally a little uncomfortable.
"Alright, have you ever seen anyone who went into this room walk out straight like her? And look at her alluring, foxy charm, she might just be the next Miss Liu!"
The other person actually nodded in agreement.
Bai Yan entered the room, changed into a servant's clothes, stepped onto the table and went out through the window. She then found some mud in the yard and smeared it on her clothes, pretending to have just fallen and limped. She then walked out of the archway of the side courtyard with her head down.
She found a low wall and climbed up it. Just as she was about to jump off, the drug took effect again, and her limbs began to feel weak.
He lost his grip and fell straight to the ground.
Unexpectedly, she found herself in a warm embrace, and then a deep voice sounded in her ear.
"What are you doing on the wall of Marquis Chen's mansion? Are you a thief?"
Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat. When she looked up, she indeed met those familiar eyes. A surge of longing instantly filled her chest: it was him, it was Meng Huaiyi! She had actually run into him here...
Flames were raging around him, and all reason vanished the moment he saw him.
"Why are you so hot?" He had just frowned.
Bai Yan reached out and grabbed his collar, then kissed his neck.
He loosened his grip, almost causing the person to fall to the ground, but fortunately, Bai Yan's hand was still around his neck.
But when her servant's hat fell off, it was thrown to the ground, and now her black hair hung down to the floor, her flushed face glistening with water droplets...
She looked like a grape that had been peeled.
"Please help me..." She grabbed his hand, placed it against her burning face, and gently rubbed it like a cat, looking at him with pleading eyes: "Please help me, okay?"
The man's eyes darkened slightly; he realized she had eaten something she shouldn't have.
Who gave her the food? If she hadn't met me today, what would have become of her?
"Your Majesty...it's time for your acupuncture today, otherwise your headache will flare up again." The chief eunuch tentatively suggested, "This woman's origins are unknown; perhaps we should have someone investigate her identity first—"
Before she could finish speaking, the man said, "Find me a room nearby, quickly."
...
The sun was already setting, and the candles inside had been burning brightly all night. As dawn broke in the east, the flickering candlelight finally returned to calm.
The abnormal flush on Bai Yan's face had faded considerably.
Now her cheeks are flushed pink with satisfaction as she sleeps on his chest, looking obedient and quiet.
Huo Jin's gaze fell on the little figure. He never imagined that one day he would find such a treasure on the street that was exactly what he wanted—he almost wanted to keep it for himself after just one look.
