Chapter 159 The Assassin Arrives in the Dead of Night
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye burst out laughing: "Hmph! That's hilarious! You have no money to stay at an inn, but you have money to go to the temple fair. If you don't have money, what are you going to the temple fair for? Are you wandering around during the day and mending your pants at night? Ridiculous! You guys better leave now, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you!"
Grandma Liu, with a smug grin, said, "Ye'er, as the old saying goes, 'Save when you should and spend when you should,' that's how a family lives. You have a house right now, why should we waste money? Hehehe, don't you think so?"
Aunt Liu Er laughed and chimed in, "That's right, Mother is absolutely right. Liu Ye, how about this, we should keep the good stuff in the family. You let us stay for the night, and we'll pay for your room. Is that alright?"
Liu Ye thought to herself, "Fine, my foot! Do you think I'm short of your room fee?"
Seeing that Liu Ye remained silent, Madam Liu pouted and said, "I already told you I'd pay for the room, but you still won't agree. What kind of airs are you putting on with your family? Do you expect us to kneel down and beg you? Don't forget, you're my son. Do you think we can bear to kneel before you? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution...?"
Before Liu Wangshi could finish speaking, Liu Laoda slapped her across the face: "You filthy bitch, shut up! Who gave you the right to talk to my daughter like that? Apologize to Liu Ye right now, or I'll divorce you!"
Liu Wangshi covered her face, which was stinging from the beating, and didn't even dare to cry. She pouted with a wronged look on her face and looked at Liu Ye with resentment in her eyes!
"That's right, sister-in-law, you should apologize to Liu Ye right now. You're always causing trouble, you're everywhere!" Aunt Liu said gloatingly.
Just as Liu Wangshi was about to speak, feeling wronged, Liu Ye interrupted her mercilessly: "No need. I know exactly what kind of people you old Liu family members are. Get out of here. I'm too lazy to watch your act. You're all like idiots. I wouldn't even watch it for free. Get out of here!"
When the Liu family saw that Liu Ye had turned hostile and wouldn't listen to either soft or hard approaches, Old Man Liu coughed lightly to signal them. This was something they had discussed beforehand at home: if soft approaches didn't work, they would resort to hard ones. Every single member of the Liu family, including Old Man Liu, craned their necks and rushed into the yard.
Liu Ye didn't hold back when she saw they were trying to force their way in. With a sweeping kick, she took down a whole group of them, sending the Liu family members sprawling on the ground, howling and screaming in pain. The women, especially Liu Ya, cried as if their mothers had died.
Old Liu sat on the ground, clutching his head. He had just fallen and hit his head, and it hurt terribly. That brat really hurt him!
Old Man Liu got up from the ground, suppressing his anger, and said with a smirk, "Hehe, Ye, don't be angry. It was all a misunderstanding. We didn't mean to force our way in. We just wanted to see your house. If you don't want us to see it, then we won't. We're going to stay at an inn now. I'll come see you another day. It's quite cold outside, go inside. I'd be heartbroken if you got too cold. Now get up!"
Liu Laoda and his gang got up from the ground and reluctantly followed Old Man Liu. Liu Ye looked at their backs and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you're asking for a beating, you even came here looking for a beating!"
A soft slamming sound came from the Qin family home. The person spying was none other than Butler Qin. That's right, he was the one who had brought the Liu family here. Unfortunately, the Liu family's good-for-nothings hadn't accomplished anything. If he wanted to avenge his daughter, he would have to take matters into his own hands!
That damned little bitch, I'm going to kill you! Liu Ye almost made his daughter hang herself. If it weren't for the maid finding out in time, Yun'er would have hanged herself!
By the way, he could hire an assassin to kill Liu Ye, which would save him from leaving any evidence. However, he didn't have enough money in his pocket, so he had to ask his wife for some.
Hearing the Qin family's door close, Liu Ye narrowed her eyes dangerously as she looked at them, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "It really is the Qin family," she thought. "I've decided to sneak into their house tonight and see what they're really up to!"
In the dead of night, with dark clouds obscuring the moon, Liu Ye, like a nimble cat, easily scaled her way into the Qin family compound. She tiptoed silently to the window of the only lit room in the Qin family compound, and listened intently to the sounds inside.
At this moment, Madam Qin's voice came from the room: "Here are five hundred taels. Keep them safe. I don't have much of my own money left. The Qin family's business has not been good these past two years, and all my savings have been used to make up for it. If it weren't for our daughter, I would have had enough of this kind of life. The old man didn't come back tonight. He must have gone to a brothel again!"
Madam Qin sat in front of the dressing table wearing only her undergarments. Butler Qin, shirtless and wearing only shorts, picked up the silver notes from the dressing table and stuffed them into the hidden pocket of his undergarments. He hugged Madam Qin from behind and said gently, "Cui Gu, just bear with it a little longer. Once the old man dies, our family can be reunited. Then we'll sell the house, and I'll take you and Yun'er and run away to live in the south."
Madam Qin said with a wronged expression, "You keep telling me to wait, and wait some more. How long do you want me to wait? I'm getting old and faded. I still want to give you another son. Or... why don't you have the assassin take care of the old man too? I really can't wait any longer!"
Butler Qin thought about it seriously and thought it was a good idea. Actually, he was a little impatient: "Okay, let me ask the assassin in the south of the city what the price is. Cui Gu, you go to sleep first. I'll go contact the assassin in the south of the city now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye left the Qin family in shock, then returned home without anyone noticing. She took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), and crawled into bed. She never expected that Butler Qin and Madam Qin were having an affair. Not only did they cuckold Master Qin, but they also dared to give birth to their illegitimate child. Qin Qiaoyun probably didn't even know she was Butler Qin's daughter. Amazing!
Oh right, Butler Qin also needs to hire an assassin to kill her. The assassin from the south of the city must be very powerful, right? If Butler Qin succeeds in hiring him, I reckon the assassin will take action tomorrow, keeping an eye on her around her house. If she goes up the mountain tomorrow, the assassin will see her and will definitely follow her up the mountain, wanting to get rid of her there. Okay, it's settled then, she'll go up the mountain tomorrow.
Half an hour later, Butler Qin arrived at Liu Ye's door with two masked assassins: "The person I told you to kill is inside. I'll pay you the balance when you see her head. And Master Qin, you can decide what to do with them yourselves. The sooner you get rid of them, the better."
One of the two men in black nodded without saying a word.
Butler Qin went around to the back of the Qin residence and returned to the Qin residence. The two assassins then scaled the wall and entered the courtyard, sneaking into Liu Ye's house without anyone noticing.
Liu Ye, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened and saw two dark figures standing under the window, each holding a knife. Oh no, how did the assassins get here so quickly? She was about to get up and get dressed, but then she thought better of it. If they dared to come in, she would use her spatial ability to deal with them.
Liu Ye could clearly hear the shadow outside the window moving to the doorway, the sound of the door plug being turned on, and the sound of the door being pushed open and someone entering the room. She nervously hugged the quilt and sat in the corner, extending her right hand in preparation.
