Chapter 202: Snowy Night Horror
"I have left people in the mansion, don't be afraid." Rong Che then left with a smile, still thinking about her in his heart that he would come back to coax Yunniang after he was done with this.
Afraid that someone else will get there first.
Lu Chaochao took a look and found that many guards had been added to the mansion.
Mrs. Xu was still laughing and joking: "I am a middle-aged woman, why do I need such a big show?"
"You flower-stealing thief, how could you still be interested in a woman in her thirties like me?"
Dengzhi was removing the hair ornaments from Xu's head while she said, "Madam, I don't agree with what you said."
"When you were in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, you were abused by them and your face turned pale."
"But after the divorce, your face becomes better day by day."
"Besides, I have heard that..."
"This time, the flower thief is a little different. He doesn't enter the rooms of young girls, but only young women."
"It is said that there are four women who have been killed, each of them was around 34 years old." There was even speculation from the outside world that the other party was looking for something.
Dengzhi was a little worried.
Xu is exactly thirty-four years old this year.
"Don't worry, there are Chao Chao's secret guards in the mansion, as well as General Rong's men."
Dengzhi was worried and stayed outside the door all night.
Only last night was New Year’s Eve. I stayed up all night and started to doze off in the second half of the night.
Lu Chaochao yawned and lay on the bed drowsy. A cold wind was blowing outside the room.
The room was so warm that the little guy couldn't open his eyes.
At some point, a heavy snowstorm started again.
A heavy snow fell, and the flakes of snow fluttered onto the treetops, making everything white.
The world seemed to be quiet.
Lu Chaochao was sleeping soundly.
The room seemed a little cold, and the little guy curled up in a ball.
Sleeping, sleeping...
Lu Chaochao suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
The little guy was breathing heavily, his eyes full of panic.
At some point, the candles in the house had gone out, and even the charcoal fire in the house had gone out.
This would never have happened in the past.
Lu Chaochao was wearing a thin inner garment, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.
She slid off the bed: "Sister Yushu?"
No response.
Lu Chaochao pursed her lips: "Uncle Secret Guard?"
Still no response.
Lu Chaochao's face turned pale. He hurriedly moved a stool and opened the door.
There was a heavy snowstorm outside, and everything was white. The patrolling guards were not seen, and the whole house was eerily silent.
Lu Chaochao walked barefoot in the snow and shivered from the cold.
She stepped down and lifted her foot with difficulty.
The snow was too deep and she was too short, so she almost stumbled towards Xu's room.
"Mother, mother, mother..."
Sure enough, I saw him knocked unconscious in the snow.
The little maid had already frozen to death.
Lu Chao ran hurriedly towards the main courtyard. The maids in the courtyard were lying on the ground, but fortunately they were only knocked unconscious.
There was a thin line of blood on the guards' necks.
It was as if his throat was sealed instantly.
The atmosphere in the main courtyard was also tense at this moment.
Dengzhi suppressed the fear in his throat, stopped in front of Xu, and pleaded, "I am younger than you, Madam. Can I serve you?"
"Please spare my lady."
"Dengzhi, there's no need to do this! We won't ask him for help!" Xu's hands and feet were cold. She held Dengzhi tightly and didn't allow her to go forward.
Xu understood that the man covered in black was extremely cruel.
The fact that he could get here means that the defense outside is almost completely broken.
The man's voice was hoarse and the long knife in his hand was dripping with blood.
"You are thirty-four this year?" He pointed directly at Xu.
Xu took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
Xu felt a chill in her heart.
"Thirty-four, and born in winter. Have you... seen this thing?" The man's fingers were pale, and he took out a piece of paper with a jade pendant drawn on it.
Xu's eyes fell on the painting.
The dragon-patterned auspicious cloud pendant is the Xu family's ancestral jade pendant.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he quickly lowered his head: "No."
Dengzhi's breathing became slightly faster and disordered, and the man noticed it.
Before she could say anything, the man appeared in front of her and grabbed her neck tightly.
"You've seen the jade pendant? Right? Where?"
Dengzhi's throat was strangled, his feet off the ground, and he struggled to slap the man's arms.
But the man was not moved at all.
"The jade pendant is yours, right?" He looked at Xu slowly, his eyes filled with madness.
“Run…husband…run…” Dengzhi’s eyes widened and were bloodshot.
"finally found you!"
"finally found you!"
"So you were hiding here!" The man looked crazy, the black jumpsuit hat on his head fell down, and his face turned abnormally pale.
Xu ran out the door like crazy.
But I haven't reached the door yet.
The man then threw Dengzhi hard, hitting her.
He knocked Xu to the ground directly.
"Dengzhi, Dengzhi!" Xu cried out in pain. Regardless of the pain, she hugged Dengzhi and burst into tears.
"Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?" When Xu saw the shocking scars on Dengzhi's neck, she burst into tears.
"I have been a good person all my life and never made enemies with anyone. Who are you?" Xu understood it clearly now.
The other party probably came for her.
Those who were killed a few days ago all became her scapegoats.
The man's voice was gloomy and cold.
"Why? Because you deserved to die and you shouldn't have been born! Give me the jade pendant!" The man approached with a knife in hand.
"I've been looking for you for years, and now you're hiding here!"
"It's so hard for me to find it."
Xu fell to the ground and stepped back.
"Do you have a grudge against the Xu family?" Xu suppressed the fear in her heart and asked calmly. Her back was soaked with cold sweat and her whole body was cold.
The man sneered.
"The Xu family? What is the Xu family? Is he worthy of being our enemy?"
"It seems that the Xu family has kept you a secret very well. The Xu family never told you that you are an adopted daughter, right?" The man chuckled.
Xu was slightly stunned. Adopted daughter?
She is not Xu family's biological daughter?
The Xu family has three sons and one daughter, and she is the only daughter. Her parents love her more than her three brothers!
"How, how is it possible? It's absolutely impossible!" Xu shook her head frantically.
"Whether you believe it or not, you will never be able to walk out of the door alive tonight!" The man had a cruel smile on his face.
"Hand over the jade pendant, and I will let you die a quick death."
Xu bit her lip tightly. The jade pendant had already been given to Chaochao, so she must not lead him over!
The man looked at Xu's beautiful figure, with madness in his eyes.
"In that case, don't blame me!"
“I never thought that one day I would be able to sleep with such a noble bloodline…” The man looked at Xu wantonly, grabbed Xu, and ripped the clothes off her shoulders.
Revealing the snow-white shoulders.
Xu's scream was about to burst out when suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door.
“Mother…”
"Mom, are you asleep?" Lu Chaochao's childish voice, mixed with the sound of the wind, made Xu shiver violently.
She stopped screaming and resisting, she held the man's hand tightly.
She had been able to remain calm, but now her eyes showed panic.
This is her only weakness.
