Chapter 164 The Ghost



"Young Master, I really don't know what you are talking about. This is clearly lilac, how can it be a deciduous flower?" Xiang Yu knelt down and cried, "I am innocent, please look carefully."

Before Cong Fangzhi left, she said to Shang Ruoyi, "Sister-in-law, is there any misunderstanding here? How could Xiang Bo poison you?"

"Yes, there must be a misunderstanding. Xiang has been serving in Fangzhi's room. How could he have the time to poison her?" Lin said softly.

Xiang fell to her knees and cried, "My dear husband, I have been wronged!"

Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly and nodded: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Her words made Xiang's heart relax a little. At this moment, a silver needle flew towards her with a sound of breaking through the air.

Reacting subconsciously, she turned her body and dodged.

If she hadn't practiced martial arts for many years, she wouldn't be able to do these movements.

"Your abilities are untraceable unless you show them off!"

Shang Ruoyi's words made Xiang 냫's face change suddenly.

Cong Fangzhi and Lin didn't expect that they had just defended her, but in the blink of an eye, they were taught a lesson.

"you!"

Xiang knew he was exposed and didn't plan to pretend anymore.

"I didn't expect that you would find out." Xiang raised his head and looked at Shang Ruoyi coldly: "You are really hard to deal with."

"It's my negligence that you were able to lurk here for so long." Shang Ruoyi looked at him coldly: "Who are you? What's your purpose in coming here?"

Xiang Yu didn't say anything, her eyes fell on Cong Fangzhi who was not far away. The next moment, her figure suddenly ran towards Cong Fangzhi. When Xiang Yu's hand was about to pinch Cong Fangzhi's neck, her body suddenly lost strength and she fell to the ground.

She looked at the purple bruise on the back of her hand, feeling very unhappy.

She never thought that Shang Ruoyi would doubt her and get hurt by the silver needle she shot. The silver needle was coated with poison, probably a muscle softening powder or something like that. She couldn't even lift a muscle at this moment.

Xiang was half-kneeling on the ground, his body shaky and unable to support himself.

"Tell me now!" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Tell me who you are and who is the one behind you?"

“Oh, you want me to betray my master? It’s impossible. Even if I die, I will never betray you!” She looked at Shang Ruoyi coldly, and then turned her gaze to the people in Dingguo Palace. Suddenly, a trace of black blood flowed out of her mouth: “I curse you, curse all of you!” After she finished speaking, her body fell down, her eyes wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

There is a deadly poison hidden in her teeth. People like her are all deadly.

Shang Ruoyi looked at Xiang's body, thinking about something.

Cong Fangzhi sat in the chair, gasping for breath. The scene just now really frightened her.

I really can't believe that Xiang who has been serving me all this time is actually a spy!

And just now, he was just about to fall into her hands.

It must be aimed at their Cong family, it must be!

Thinking of this, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

At this moment, she felt a pain on the skin of her hand. She came to her senses and found that Shang Ruoyi was holding a silver needle and poking it into her body.

"Relax." Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "Don't let your mind wander. Worrying too much is not good for you and the baby in your belly."

Cong Fangzhi recovered and her pupils gradually focused: "Sister-in-law."

"Don't worry about anything. I'll take care of everything. Just take care of yourself and give birth to the baby." Shang Ruoyi put away the silver needle, and Cong Fangzhi felt the pain in her stomach slowly disappear.

She looked at Shang Ruoyi for a while, and her eyes gradually became firm.

Shang Ruoyi walked to Qin's bedside, fed her the spiritual spring water, and used silver needles to insert into several major acupuncture points around her body to protect her heart meridian. She also took out some silver needles as fine as cow hair and inserted them into her arms. Everyone looked at the densely packed silver needles and couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

He Yunyi shed tears silently at the side: "If I knew the person behind Xiang, I would never let him go, no matter how far away he was!"

At this time, Ling Feng was drinking tea in the courtyard. An old man came over and whispered, "Xiang was exposed and committed suicide."

Ling Feng nodded and smiled: "Did Shang Ruoyi find it?"

"Yes, it's her."

"Haha, just as I expected, she is indeed smart." Ling Feng put down the teacup, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "What an interesting woman."

"Young Master, Shang Ruoyi has ruined our plans time and again, but you still want to keep her?" The old man said in a deep voice, "I know you are concerned about her kindness in saving Sister Ke'er, but even without her, Sister Ke'er would not be in trouble, right?"

If Shang Ruoyi were here, she would definitely recognize this person's identity.

It was the owner of Shan Hengtianyun Casino: Qian Jinnian.

"I kept her, and it has nothing to do with Ke'er."

"Then why is the young master..."

Before he could finish, Ling Feng interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Tell my brother to cause more trouble for He Jingheng in the Western Regions."

"Yes." After hearing what Qian Jinnian said, he didn't dare to say anything more. The young master had the same temperament as the former master. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.

However, although he had only a few brief contacts with Shang Ruoyi, he could feel that she was very cunning and intelligent. The young master was reluctant to take action against her. Could it be that he had some inappropriate thoughts in his mind?

Thinking of this, Qian Jinnian frowned even deeper.

Thinking of Shang Ruoyi's identity and their feud with the Dingguo Palace, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart. If the young master was bewitched by Shang Ruoyi, he would risk the crime of disobeying the master and must kill her.

Shang Ruoyi was still detoxifying Qin at this time. She cut a cut on Qin's fingertip, and thick black blood slowly flowed out.

Until the black blood turned bright red, Shang Ruoyi removed the silver needles one by one.

After bandaging her finger, Qin's complexion had returned to normal.

Everyone's hanging hearts slowly let go.

Not long after, Qin woke up slowly: "What happened?"

"Mom, you've been poisoned. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, something terrible would have happened." He Yunyi said in a crying voice.

Qin patted Shang Ruoyi's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, kid."

"Thank you, mother. Do you still feel uncomfortable somewhere?" Shang Ruoyi put her hand on her pulse. Qin's pulse was stable and there was nothing serious.

Qin shook her head: "It's okay, I'm much better, I just feel a little weak."

Shang Ruoyi put the pill in her mouth: "This pill is very effective for recovery from illness. You should have a good rest after taking it. You will feel much better tomorrow."

Coming out from Qin's place, it was suddenly bright. The sky was covered with dark clouds and a gust of wind blew. Shang Ruoyi tightened her cloak around her body. Judging from the weather, it seemed that a heavy snow was coming.

She didn't know at this time that what they were going to face was not just a simple snowfall.
