Chapter 118 The Third Miss Killed Someone
"Playing dumb?" Lu Xiang said to Ah Man, "Ah Man, let Yu Xiang say hello to these little guys, maybe they will remember it."
"yes."
Ah Man responded, then pinched Yu Xiang's neck and dragged her head above the wooden barrel.
Yuxiang struggled desperately. When she lowered her eyes, she could see the dense swarm of scorpions under the barrel. She grabbed both sides of the barrel tightly and shouted in fear: "No... No..."
Lu Xiang's voice sounded calmly: "Yuxiang, while I still have the patience to ask, you'd better obey me. Once I lose my patience, you won't have the chance to speak even if you want to."
"Miss Third, you have wasted someone's life. You will definitely be given a bad reputation. Even the Queen will not like it."
"Oh, you want to threaten me?" Lu Xiang looked at Yu Xiang in surprise: "Who gave you the confidence to threaten me with this?"
"Does my reputation, whether the Queen likes me or not, have anything to do with you? Do you think I will keep you alive?"
Lu Xiang said this and gestured to Ah Man.
Ah Man understood and immediately pushed Yu Xiang's head into the barrel. Seeing the terrifying group of scorpions so close to her, Yu Xiang was almost frightened to the point of incontinence.
"Ah...ah, I say, Miss Third, I say..."
Yuxiang thought that Lu Xiang was too young and would just scare her at most, but at that moment she could almost feel the scorpion stinging her face, as if she was only one step away from death. How could she still have any pride and confidence at this moment? She cried so much because of fear that her tears and snot were all over her face, which was really disgusting.
Ah Man threw Yu Xiang to the ground roughly and glared at her ferociously, as if he would stuff her into a bucket to feed the scorpions if she dared to lie.
Hongyin looked at Ah Man and couldn't help but shudder.
Oh, I was wrong. This evil Buddha Ah Man is not someone who can be easily messed with. Her usual innocence and innocence is just an illusion. No wonder the Third Miss thinks so highly of her. The courage she has in facing a group of scorpions is something that not ordinary people have.
Yuxiang lay on the ground, gasping for breath: "I am just following orders. Aunt Liu made a great promise to me, and I was bewildered and agreed to it. I beg Third Miss to spare my life."
"Madam Liu promised you to keep your promise? Yuxiang, are you looking at me to fool me? Everyone in the mansion knows that my father values me, my grandmother loves me, and the queen protects me. My place is very popular, and there are many maids who want to come in and serve me. Can what Madam Liu say be more useful than what I say?"
"I see you won't cry until you see the coffin." Lu Xiang slammed the table angrily.
Her bright eyes slightly curved, her gentleness and sharpness fully revealed, making people feel cold when they met her.
Yuxiang's expression suddenly froze, and she looked at Lu Xiang in fear. She felt a trembling sensation from the bottom of her heart, as if all the blood in her body had frozen.
Ah Man reached out to strangle Yu Xiang's neck again. Yu Xiang was horrified and dared not hide anything anymore: "It was Aunt Yao... Aunt Yao wanted to avenge Aunt Liu and the Fourth Miss. She gave me these poisonous scorpions and told me to put them on the bed when the Third Miss was having dinner with the Master in the front yard at night. As long as the Third Miss died, she and Aunt Liu would find a way to make me serve the Master."
"As long as I frame Hongyin, the old lady and the master will only find Hongyin after a thorough investigation. After that, I can become a concubine... Third Miss, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare me, Third Miss."
As Yuxiang spoke, she kowtowed to Lu Xiang.
Yun Zha and others were so shocked that they could hardly close their mouths.
They had always known that Aunt Liu and the Third Miss were incompatible, but they never imagined that Aunt Yao was the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
If you don't take action, it's fine, but once you take action, it's going to take someone's life.
Lu Xiang looked at Yuxiang with a gloomy expression, his eyes were unpredictable.
"Miss?" Yun Zha called out. Lu Xiang came back to his senses and raised his chin towards Ah Man.
Ah Man understood and pulled out a hemp rope from his waist. Yun Zha and Wu Yue stepped forward and grabbed Yu Xiang, allowing Ah Man to tie her up. He then took a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Yu Xiang's mouth.
Then, under Yuxiang's horrified gaze, he stuffed her into the barrel...
In an instant, the scorpions seemed to have smelled delicious food and climbed onto Yuxiang's body, head, and face, and some even crawled into her clothes.
"Mmmm..." Yuxiang whimpered like a trapped beast. The severe pain from her body made her eyeballs almost pop out of their sockets. The fear in her heart could not be described in words. Yuxiang's body twitched violently. The poison instantly flowed throughout her body. Soon her lips turned black and purple, and finally she could only stare with fear in her eyes and died.
Mu Jin and Hong Yin watched Yu Xiang die with their own eyes, and they fell to the ground with fear because their legs went weak.
"Ugh..." Hong Yin couldn't help crying and retching. Her pretty face was as pale as snow. When Lu Xiang's cold gaze swept over her, her body trembled non-stop. She looked as helpless and pitiful as a little white flower that was crippled by a strong wind.
"You know what to do today, right?"
Although Lu Xiang asked, his tone was firm and unquestionable, as terrifying as a devil.
Mu Jin and Hong Yin looked at each other, then nodded quickly.
Now they finally understood why the Third Miss did not stop them from entering the house. This was a warning to make them understand the consequences of betraying their master.
The two returned to the house. Hong Yin seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength and sat on the ground. She looked at Mu Jin with tears in her eyes: "Mu Jin, do you think it's okay for me to tell Miss San that I want to leave?"
If she had known this, she should have seized the chance to leave given to her by the Third Miss last time.
Woohoo, missed opportunity.
Mu Jin stroked her chest, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "I... I don't know, but Yuxiang dug her own grave and deserves to die. Don't forget that she was the one who wanted to kill the Third Miss first. If the Third Miss doesn't kill this vicious and treacherous servant, the old lady will not let her go if she knows about it. What's more, she wanted to frame you when she did these things. If the Third Miss doesn't find out the truth this time and falls into Yuxiang's trap, then you will be the one to die."
Are you scared?
If Mu Jin is honest, she is afraid, but this is not the Third Miss's fault, nor is it that the Third Miss is cruel. If someone puts a knife to her neck and she doesn't resist, that is not kindness at all, but stupidity.
Hongyin listened to Mujin's analysis, and her frightened expression slowly calmed down.
"You're right. In the end, it was the Third Miss who saved me."
