Enduring the bone-deep pain, she hurried to Xiaoyun Villa in a carriage, but no one would let her in. It looked as if there was a funeral going on at the villa. She had to ask someone to announce her arrival to Miss Lan. After a while, Lan Xiangying came out in mourning clothes. When she saw Tang Ziyu, she gave a faint smile and said, ‘Hello, Miss Tang.’ She seemed to be saying each word with great difficulty.
‘Hello, Miss Lan. Has something happened at the manor?’ Tang Ziyu looked at her nervously. ’Are you not happy? Did you come here especially to see how unlucky we are? Fine, let me tell you, Cheng Ying is dead, dead! Mu Xiaotian and Yue Qing are now dead or alive, do you know? Are you happy now?’
‘Happy? Why should I be happy? Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying, is he, is he really dead?’ Tang Ziyu’s tears fell all at once, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. ’Do you think anyone could withstand Murong Hong’s full force palm strike? He’s been dead for three days already, and I reckon in a few days, we should be collecting the bodies of the Big and Second Bosses!’
‘Murong Hong? He came to see you?’ ’Yes, three days ago, he brought many experts to provoke us. No one expected that his martial arts would improve so much in just three months. As a result, Cheng Ying was killed while trying to save his fourth brother, and the First and Second Masters were captured by him. Are you happy now? Isn’t this the result you wanted?’
‘I, I never wanted this!’ ’Why do you think Murong Hong came? As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for someone. He said he was here to see Tang Zihan. Then you can imagine what happened. Now what do you have to say? You seduced the head of the household, I’ll admit, at least I can still see him. Who knew you’d seduce someone like Murong Hong too. What the hell did you come here for? Are you not satisfied until you take the lives of the fourth and I too? !’ Lan Xiangying suddenly burst into tears, and her maid Meihua immediately helped her walk inside. Tang Ziyu was left standing alone
Entering the Murong residence
Bai Yuting looked at her. She looked like a lifeless doll now, her face pale and expression numb. She kept sitting there, motionless. Ever since she went to the manor, she had been like this. It had been two days, and she hadn’t drunk any water, refused to eat, and wouldn’t sleep. She just sat there, looking out of the window at Mount Qilin. Everyone was terrified of her, but she seemed unable to hear anyone, completely absorbed in her own world.
Suddenly, she stood up and said, ‘I want to eat.’ Then she started gorging herself. Bai Yuting looked at her with concern. He knew she must have made a decisive decision. After eating, she gave him a letter, the one she had intended to give Situ last time, and then she left.
She hired a car and went straight to the Murong residence. The car took ten days to travel the distance, and along the way she wore thick cotton clothes and hugged the heater, accompanied by the backpack she brought with her when she came to this world. When she appeared outside the Murong residence, all the servants and guards looked at her strangely. In such a hot spring day, who wouldn’t be curious about the sudden appearance of such a person?
