Just when Qian Youxue thought she was doomed, the window was opened from the outside. A nimble figure leaped in, a hidden weapon flying out and striking the man directly in the throat, giving him no chance to scream before his eyes met the King of Hell.
My apologies!
Fortunately, we arrived in time; otherwise, my head would definitely be gone.
Wuya clasped his hands together in gratitude, exhaled a breath of stale air, and stepped forward to take Qian Youxue away. However, he stopped before his hand could even touch her.
The enemy's aim is simply to ruin Miss Qian's reputation and then cancel the marriage. Rescuing Miss Qian in this way would indeed disrupt their plan.
However, the young master said he would help them break up the marriage, so I'm afraid Miss Qian will have to suffer this inconvenience once again.
All right!
Since that's the case, he had no choice but to carry the man out. Turning around, he reached out to pick the man up, but then he heard a noise coming from the window.
"Who?" he hissed.
The window was opened, and outside stood a man dressed in black. Only his eyes were visible. After their eyes met, Wuya immediately recognized him.
Having help would be ideal; it's easy to get in, but carrying someone out is quite a hassle.
"Hurry up! Someone's watching from the rooftop, and the others are coming towards this courtyard," the man urged impatiently.
"Cold-hearted, you finally decided to come out. Here, carry it carefully. I'll continue to keep watch here so that Miss Qian doesn't suffer any more losses. You can dispose of the body properly, okay?" Wuya threw the body out of the window, then climbed out and found a place to hide.
The incense in the room was burned at the right time. The Crown Prince was already eagerly awaiting the outcome. Seeing that the time was just right, he ordered Zhou Feng to let Qian Yingxue begin her operation.
In the private room, Qian Yingxue absentmindedly ate pastries, her mind filled with fantasies of being intimate with the Crown Prince, and she occasionally let out a lovestruck smile.
Despite her mood, she couldn't drink. She glanced at the wine pot with some disappointment, but was also eagerly anticipating the result.
"Fourth Miss, the eldest young lady has been gone for so long, shouldn't you go and look for her too?" The old woman who had just carried Qian Youxue away came over and greeted Qian Yingxue with a smile.
In a good mood, Qian Yingxue gave out more rewards, dusted off her hands, and followed the old woman out of the room. Then, she deliberately asked the waiter loudly in the hall, "Waiter, have you seen where my sister Qian Youxue went?"
"Qian Youxue, that ugly hag from the Qian family?"
"How come even someone like this came?"
"She's from a respectable family, so it's not surprising that she came."
"That's right, that's right. She's the future Crown Princess now, so we should watch our words!"
The chatter among the young masters and nobles continued, and more and more people were curious about Qian Youxue's appearance. Even the daughters of ministers who were originally in the private room were drawn over by the topic.
"Pah! His Highness the Crown Prince would never marry such an ugly woman!" A woman in a blue dress stood with her hands on her hips, cursing loudly.
Even a blind man could see that she was yet another woman who had fallen for the prince's handsome face.
These words immediately drew criticism, and several other young ladies voiced their strong opinions. One of the bolder women turned to the silent Qian Yingxue and roared, "Where is that ugly hag from your family? Call her out here. I want to see what makes her qualified to be the Crown Princess."
Qian Yingxue is usually quite fierce at home, but she becomes timid when facing a young lady from a powerful family with a strong background.
