While struggling subconsciously, Xue Zhiyi widened his eyes.
The person covering her mouth and nose was actually Xue Tingliu...
At this moment, Xue Tingliu's voice seemed to be poisoned: "Don't make a sound, or I will kill your young lady!"
Qiuyun and Suyue looked pale, and their feet seemed to be fixed, not daring to move.
After seeing the face of the person who came clearly, Xue Zhiyi quickly calmed down and just cast a look at Qiuyun and Suyue to indicate that he was fine.
Xue Tingliu released her mouth and nose, but perhaps worried that she would escape, he clamped her neck again and pressed her against the wall.
The warm and rough touch against my throat was very uncomfortable.
Xue Tingliu's eyes were fierce. He sneered, and in the twilight of New Year's Eve, his face looked full of evil. "Third sister is really capable. She used a borrowed knife to kill someone and caused such a big trouble for me!"
Xue Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat: It seemed that Xue Tingliu had seen through her plan.
He just said, "You knew everything about Dad and Rong Ziying. It was you who made Fu Rongxin know about it and spread it through her, right?"
If Xue Tingliu wants to investigate this kind of thing, I think he will find a way.
Xue Zhiyi's hands were hanging down, stroking the hem of her skirt. A layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and in her eyes, as clear as moonlight, a soft grievance appeared: "I don't know..."
Xue Tingliu narrowed his eyes slightly and increased the strength in his hands, making her feel a little breathless. It was obvious that Xue Tingliu was not buying her tricks.
"What's your purpose? Are you happy to see the Xue family in chaos?"
He couldn't guess Xue Zhiyi's purpose, because no matter from which angle, as a woman in the harem, she had no reason to treat her biological mother like this.
Everything that happened today was a lose-lose situation for both Anxianju and Feiluxuan, and she herself did not gain any benefits.
It was such a stupid thing to do, but she didn't seem like a fool.
Seeing that Xue Tingliu was unmoved, Xue Zhiyi wiped away his tears and instead smiled faintly with an ambiguous meaning.
If she wasn't being held at the vital point by someone at the moment, this smile on her face would have seemed innocent and harmless.
"What are you laughing at?" This made Xue Tingliu inexplicably angry.
Xue Zhiyi's throat moved slightly: "I don't understand what Second Brother means, but I just think that the family will soon have an addition. Isn't this worth celebrating?"
The mention of this matter aroused Xue Tingliu's anger again, and his fingers tightened. "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Rong Ziying, who was originally his pawn, has escaped his control. Moreover, he has already torn his relationship with Rong Ziying today. It is likely that he will not be able to use her for his own purposes in the future.
If Rong Ziying gave birth to a boy, it would not only become a stumbling block for him, but also, based on the degree of closeness, the grandson in Rong Ziying's belly would certainly be closer to the Rong family than him, their nephew. If this evil child was favored, even the Rong family members who had originally supported him wholeheartedly would have second thoughts.
With all this going on, how could he not hate her!
Xue Zhiyi frowned because of difficulty breathing, but the smile on her face did not fade. She squeezed out a voice: "... Of course, Second Brother doesn't dare to kill me."
As she spoke, she also looked at Qiuyun Suyue and the others: "Go call for help, he doesn't dare to kill me!"
"You!" Xue Tingliu's nails almost dug into her skin.
"Second brother... he has a promising future and is full of plans! How could he... how could he take the blame for a murder for me!" The overwhelming feeling of suffocation made her consciousness a little blurry. She urged Qiuyun Suyue: "Go quickly!"
The two girls finally reacted and cried for help: "Help! Help!"
Xue Tingliu finally flashed a trace of panic that he could not hide. He warned her softly in her ear: "Just wait!"
After saying that, he let go and left from the back of the house before the guards arrived.
A stream of cold air rushed into Xue Zhiyi's throat. Her body softened and she collapsed to the ground, shaking her head to ease the dizziness caused by suffocation.
The guards arrived late: "Miss Third! What's wrong?"
Qiuyun supported her and was about to explain when Xue Zhiyi pulled at his collar and said, "Just now a wild cat suddenly jumped out and scared me. It's fine now. You can go away."
After the guards left, she struggled to get up with the help of Qiuyun Suyue. Suyue was still in shock and asked her, "Miss, what happened today..."
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, just pretend it never happened." Xue Zhiyi said.
But Su Yue was still worried: "But how could the Second Young Master..."
Xue Zhiyi was caught off guard and chuckled, "I was worried he wouldn't come, but now everything is just as I expected!"
…
After returning to Jiangxuexuan, Xue Zhiyi was able to take a closer look at himself in the mirror.
Her slender white neck was covered with severe pinching marks, leaving deep and shallow bruises.
The pinching was quite harsh.
She applied some ointment and pulled her collar up again to cover it.
At this moment, Su Yue asked her: "Miss, are you still going to the New Year's Eve dinner tonight?"
On New Year's Eve, the whole family should have dinner together, but after all this trouble, who would still have the appetite to eat?
"No," she said. "We can cook something in our own small kitchen."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Ask Fifth Sister if she wants to come over and eat some."
Soon, several freshly cooked dishes were served on the table.
Xue Runing also came. She had heard about the big thing that happened today. Perhaps because she was worried that Xue Zhiyi was in a bad mood, she spoke carefully, fearing that Xue Zhiyi would be sad about what happened today.
Unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi was not at all worried. Instead, he had a good appetite and even cared about her.
