Chapter 320 Buried
The look in Lady Anping's eyes almost spit fire when she looked at her. She knew that the reason why Lady Anping and her son were transferred back to Kyoto and their military power were removed was manipulated by Su Qingwan behind the scenes. Although she didn't know why the princess wanted to help Su Qingwan, she knew that the Li family was doomed. If Lady Anping knew that it was her who caused it when he returned to the capital, she didn't know what would happen to her. Lady Anping hated her so much, but she really had no way to deal with it.
However, Su Qingwan was still showing off in front of her, and Lady Anping was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Xie Zhaolan, don't be too proud too soon. You can't have smooth sailing all your life."
"I'll also say this to my wife. The smooth sailing days of your Li family are over." Su Qingwan said calmly, "When you indulged your daughter in committing a crime, your family's luck had already run out. As long as I'm alive, the prosperity of the Li family will end. You should accept the reality as soon as possible."
She lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and was unwilling to say another word to Lady Anping, as if saying any more words would be a waste of time. As the carriage drove out of the city, Lady Anping stared at her back and smiled viciously.
Xie Zhaolan, as long as you die, everything will be over. The torture suffered by the Li family will also be over. Even if Lu Jing finds out, it will be her fault alone, and the whole family will not be affected. She will bear all the responsibility and correct the mistakes she made.
Su Qingwan came to the manor again. This time she did not bring the girls from the Lu family. There were only her, Qingyun, Liyue, and several guards from the palace. When they arrived at the manor, Su Qingwan dismissed all the servants, and the people from the palace disguised themselves as servants of the manor.
She had set up the stage and was waiting for Lady Anping to come and dismantle it.
At night, Su Qingwan admired the moon and stars on a high ground not far from her manor. On the manor, people's shadows floated, lanterns swayed, and the cicadas' chirping in the fields was loud and piercing in the midsummer, creating a unique atmosphere.
Qingyun asked, "Miss, what if the Lady of Anping doesn't come to take action?"
"Want to bet? She will definitely take action tonight."
Li Yue said, "Princess, don't wait any longer. Go into the tent and rest. We will notify you if there is any news."
Su Qingwan did not insist. They set up a tent on a small hill. Qingyun and Li Yue were guarding outside. Su Qingwan did not fall asleep either. There were many mosquitoes in the tent in the mountains, which disturbed people's dreams. Although they sprinkled medicine, it was not of much use.
Just after the third watch, a fire broke out on the farm. The fire spread quickly. When Qingyun woke Su Qingwan up, the fire had spread to half of the farm. The wife of the Marquis of Anping sprinkled kerosene on the farm, hoping to burn the farm down. The intention was extremely sinister. Most of the scarecrows left by Su Qingwan on the farm were easy to catch fire, so the fire spread even faster.
Soon, the whole farm was on fire. Su Qingwan said calmly, "Send someone to kill them. Do it cleanly to avoid gossip from Luo people."
"yes!"
Li Yue led his men to rush towards the farm. Since Lady Anping sent people to kill, she must have sent the best guard team of the Li family, who were very skilled and came to silence the witnesses. They wanted to kill the people and then burn it down to make it look like the farm was dry and on fire, but who knew that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The Li family's guards hid outside the farm, waiting for them to run out after the fire, and then killed them all in a hurry. However, they waited for a long time and saw no one running away. Instead, they saw Li Yue rushing to the farm with his men and killing them into their encirclement. In an instant, blood flowed like a river. Li Yue brought all the Jinyiwei people.
When Lu Jing left Beijing, he said that if he had any problems, he could go to the Jinyiwei. Su Qingwan listened to him. Li Yue led the Jinyiwei to kill everyone like cutting melons and vegetables, leaving only one alive.
Su Qingwan originally wanted to capture a person alive and kill the Li family. This crime would make them suffer a lot and it would be easy to drive them out of Kyoto. She didn't expect that the wife of the Marquis of Anping would be stupid enough to come in person.
At the foot of the Grange Hill.
This is such a pleasant surprise.
When Lady Anping saw the farm on fire, she felt pleased. When she killed Xie Zhaolan, she did it by surprise. Everything Li Xueying did was inseparable from her behind-the-scenes planning.
This farm was under the name of Xie Zhaolan. Su Qingwan came here openly to provoke Lady Anping, forcing her to abandon her reason and take action as soon as possible. After Lady Anping found out that she had come to the farm, she sent more than a dozen guards from the Li family over. She herself could not bear it and followed over. She wanted to kill Xie Zhaolan with her own hands!
In order to relieve her hatred, Lady Anping even prepared to be buried with Lu Jing. She knew that she had openly sent people to kill Lu Jing's princess, and she could not escape the eyes and ears of the Jinyiwei. Someone would definitely find out the truth and tell Lu Jing that she could pay with her life. She had done what she should do. The scandal of Lu Jing and Xie Zhaolan spread throughout Kyoto, and everyone cursed them. Their reputation had long been ruined.
She killed Xie Zhaolan before the Earl of Anping and his son returned to Beijing. The crime did not implicate her husband and sons, and she could also avenge herself. So what was the harm in saving her life!
She was looking forward to the pleasure of revenge, and when she saw a figure floating in front of her, she became more excited, thinking that it was her guards who had captured Su Qingwan and she could kill Su Qingwan herself to avenge herself.
She also found out that Su Qingwan did not bring anyone with her to the farm this time. She was surrounded by her trusted followers, most of whom were women, so she was not to be feared. But who would have thought that Su Qingwan would walk out from the firelight, smiling sweetly, and looking at her confidently and calmly, as if everything was under control.
Mrs. Anping's face turned pale. "How is it possible? Did you come to the farm on purpose to induce me to kill someone?"
"What else?" Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows. "With a heart as vicious as yours, who likes to kill people at every turn, I will naturally give you a chance to perform well. This is not the first time we have fought. You are not naive enough to think that I came to the farm just to escape the summer heat, right? Madam Li, I have said that the Li family is doomed. Although I meant to provoke you, I am telling the truth. If you stay put and endure this time, the Earl of Anping and your sons have not made any mistakes, and they will return to Jiangnan sooner or later. But you acted too radically and committed crimes. Your husband and sons will never be able to return to the army again."
Lu Jing would never allow a tiger to harm him. He had long wanted to strip Anping Bo and his son of their military power. This incident gave him an opportunity, a legitimate reason.
"Xie Zhaolan, I dare to come and kill you today because I am ready to die with you. You and Lu Jing killed my daughter, and you and I have an irreconcilable feud. I have wanted to kill you for a long time." Lady Anping took a few steps forward and was very close to Su Qingwan. "Even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me!"
She suddenly opened her robe, and Su Qingwan saw the gunpowder tied to her chest. Lady Anping said fiercely, "I know I will die. Only if I die can I save my husband and sons. But my death will not be in vain. I have long expected that I will fail. You will show off in front of me. I have been waiting for this moment to drag you to hell with me!"
After she said that, she suddenly pulled the trigger!
