Chapter 191: This is how I set a trap
Zhou Yao cried loudly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
But there was no one around at the moment, and no one would pity her.
Su Rui glanced down at her coldly, then moved to the other side.
Zhou Yao refused to let him go and immediately rushed towards the direction Su Rui turned, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, "Sister... No, cousin! Cousin, please, save me, I really have no other choice, I can't take it anymore. Princess Changning is a demon, a pervert. She tortures me every day. Look, look, I'm covered in wounds."
As she spoke, Zhou Yao tore off her clothes recklessly, revealing large areas of scars on her body. It looked like there was indeed no healthy spot on her body.
Unfortunately, there was no sympathy in Su Rui's eyes, and she remained cold and silent.
Zhou Yao cursed Su Rui in her heart for being so hard-hearted, but she also knew that Su Rui wanted her to be tortured even more severely to relieve her hatred.
Therefore, Su Rui's reaction was within her expectations.
Maintaining the humbleness she had so adeptly acted at in Changning these days, Zhou Yaoru finally realized her mistake and cried, "Cousin, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I was possessed by evil spirits in the past. I didn't know what was good for me. I wanted to compete with you in everything and snatch everything from you. That's why I had all those things with that bastard Chen Youmin."
"Five years ago, I didn't really want to harm you. I was just afraid of being discovered, so I pushed you out. I didn't expect Changning to punish you so severely. Later, when you returned to Beijing, I was also afraid. I was afraid of being exposed and afraid that others would know what I had done. That's why I kept making mistakes."
"I know I deserve death, and I know I deserve it now, but cousin, I...I want to live! I want to live! I don't want to be beaten, burned, or tortured anymore!"
"The Marquis doesn't care about me, and Mother won't save me. I really have no way to survive. Cousin, I beg you, please be kind and save me. Just... just send me out through the west door. Please, I beg you."
Shouting, Zhou Yao kowtowed to the ground again and again. The sounds were crisp and soon the ground was stained with blood.
Zhou Yao's words were half true and half false, and were particularly sincere and heartfelt.
Anyone who comes here will feel that this is a desperate situation with no one to turn to and the only option left is to try every possible means.
But Su Rui noticed that he would quickly glance at her every time she kowtowed.
She was checking to see if she was reacting to her words.
And Su Rui also stopped at the right time.
'Click.'
Something rolled out from Zhou Yao's clothes as she kowtowed continuously, and landed right at Su Rui's feet.
It is a crescent-shaped jade pendant.
The jade is of ordinary quality, but it has a tiger head carved on it.
Shengjing advocates elegance, and even military generals like to wear elegant accessories. Even the sheaths of swords are mostly carved with patterns such as bamboo, rocks, auspicious clouds, and orchids. It is rare to see tigers, lions, eagles, and other ferocious beasts carved on wearable items.
Only some eccentric people would use these patterns.
And Su Rui happened to have seen that Lin Chuan also had a similar half-jade hanging around his neck.
Without waiting for Su Rui to take a closer look, Zhou Yao rushed over, grabbed the jade pendant with both hands and stuffed it into her arms, trying her best to cover up, "This is the only valuable thing I have on me now. I have to rely on it to exchange for silver in the future to make a living. Cousin, please, have mercy on me, okay?"
"Not good." Su Rui said these two words without hesitation and stepped past Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao turned around and wanted to beg, but Xiaoru blocked her way. She could only watch Su Rui walk away before Xiaoru turned around and followed her.
Seeing Su Rui completely gone, Zhou Yao was not sure what she was thinking.
Holding the jade pendant in her hand, she finally stood up and walked quickly towards the Ximen she had just mentioned with a determined look on her face.
He deliberately staggered along the way, but in fact he kept his ears perked up.
“Click.”
There was a slight sound of a branch snapping.
Zhou Yao saw a figure flash by in her peripheral vision and was surprised.
Sure enough, he followed!
This is the third courtyard, which is full of female relatives. The people Yun Ji left for Su Rui are all men. Even secret guards are not allowed to enter here.
Luo E beside Su Rui and the loud-voiced Xiao Ru did not know martial arts, so they inevitably made some noise.
But even though the figure just flashed by, Zhou Yao recognized it as Su Rui!
She came in person!
As expected, what she wanted most now was to catch Lin Chuan and deal with the Liang family.
The last time Su Rui went to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to cause trouble, someone reported it to Chang Ning. She happened to be beaten half to death by Chang Ning and heard the whole thing while lying on the ground.
After hearing that Su Rui had left Liang's place, Liang became worried again. She guessed that Su Rui must have something on Liang.
After all, the only one who can really make Liang worried is Lin Chuan.
She knew that Lin Chuan had run away, and Su Rui probably knew it too, and they had probably been looking for him for days.
That's why she used this as a trap.
This time, I want her to experience the feeling of being unable to live or die.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Zhou Yao unconsciously quickened her pace and couldn't wait to take Su Rui to the place.
I walked all the way to the small garden between the Third Hospital and the Second Hospital. There was no one here at this moment, and I could see a man from a distance.
Standing with his back to her, he looked just like Lin Chuan.
"Dad! Why are you here? Well, let's go quickly. If we are discovered, we won't be able to escape." Zhou Yao's voice was loud, for fear that Su Rui behind her couldn't hear it.
Although she was shouting urgently, Zhou Yao's movements were slow. She caught a glimpse of a figure coming from behind, and then she reached out to grab Lin Chuan's hand.
"Stop!" Su Rui's voice sounded from behind.
Zhou Yao immediately turned around and saw Su Rui and Luo E standing in front of the courtyard gate. The joy in her eyes was almost unbearable, and she shouted: "Go!"
At the command, Zhou Yao's mind was filled with people lying in ambush jumping out and taking Su Rui down. She was waiting to see her panic and powerless to resist, and could only scream helplessly.
Then, throw her into hell and let her be condemned by thousands of people again. Even if she is Yun Ji's concubine, it will be useless.
But after waiting for a while, there was no sound except the sound of the wind.
Zhou Yao immediately looked around, but no one came out.
How could that be?
"People..." Pulling Lin Chuan over, Zhou Yao wanted to ask where everyone had gone, but before she could finish her question, Lin Chuan fell towards her after being pulled by her.
Caught off guard and covered in injuries, he couldn't push away at all and was pinned to the ground by Lin Chuan in an instant.
Lin Chuan's face was pressed against hers, with a fishy-smelling liquid flowing down his face. She pushed it away and saw that it was blood flowing from his mouth.
His eyes were wide open, trying to maintain an expression of surprise, but his pupils were completely dilated.
He's dead!
