Chapter 56 - Interest

"Continue acting." Returning to the carriage, Gu Yicheng spoke out loud.

Yun Qianliang was in a good mood, upon hearing that, he chuckled, and with a strange look, she asked: "Master, could it be that you want to help me pay for my journey?"

"It's not like I don't have anything to discuss when I'm satisfied with my performance." Gu Yicheng made a request to her as if he was inviting all of them.

"Forget it, I can't hide if I don't dare to offend him." Yun Qianliang laughed and said to the driver: "To Jia Kang Street."

It was already dark in the winter evening. The cold wind was blowing and the temperature had dropped considerably.

There were two doors in front of the curtain of the carriage. The cold wind blew outside, and inside, there was a warm stove.

Yun Qianliang leaned heheread against the carriage, his eyes drooping down as she stared blankly at a place where she was lost in thought. Occasionally, his eyelids would twitch, but she forced herself to focus once more, unwilling to close his eyes to rest.

Gu Yicheng sat upright, as his deep eyes calmly rested on her body, "I'll call you when it's time."

"Thank you very much." Yun Qianliang replied softly. His voice was weak.

Yun Qianliang's body was exhausted, but his thoughts were abnormally active, and he had only closed her eyes to rest. If the carriage's speed changed at all, she would open her eyes to take a look, and then continue to close her eyes to rest.

"Grandfather said that your birthday is the day of Mid-Autumn." In the silence, Yun Qianliang suddenly opened his mouth.

"Yes." Gu Yicheng admitted it.

Yun Qianliang moved her lips, she tilted her head and stared at the handsome face, and sighed.

"This good guy's life was ruined by your temper." Yun Qianliang shook her head and said regretfully.

He had a lovely face, but he did something infuriating.

If not for the fact that Marquis of Anguo knew that her birthday was in the first month and wanted to give her a birthday feast, she would have asked Gu Yicheng about his birthday in the past. She would have been deceived and believe that his birthday was coming up, she planned to get Lu Ben out of there quickly.

She had spent so much time and effort on this thing, but his words had turned out to be a simple bluff.

"That's how you can be confident." Gu Yicheng purposely pulled up a strand of hair and played with it between his fingers, "With my looks, I enjoy being a lady. It's much easier to handle things."

Yun Qianliang carefully studied that face, it was as though she was looking at a sculpture. His angular face was extremely handsome, with eyebrows that flew straight to her temples, and under her nose was a sexy lips, like the color of a crabapple petal. There was a playful smile on his face, which had a bad taste, and her outer appearance looked extremely loose, but the light in her eyes made others not dare to look down on him.

She was extraordinarily elegant, amorous, and dainty.

"Seems like the Prime Minister has overdone it." Yun Qianliang joked joyfully, "Could it be that those Singer Dancer s in the palace …?"

"My appetite is good, but I'm also picky." Gu Yicheng replied meaningfully.

Yun Qianliang smiled and nodded, she no longer paid any attention to him, but the corners of her eyes did not contain any anger nor evasion.

The ruins of the ruins were piled up, the roof walls were covered with cobwebs, thick dust fell to the ground, and the surroundings were dark. The inside of the temple was extremely terrifying.

Wen Meng was dressed in light attire and wrapped up in her cloak tightly. She was holding a cotton package in her arms as she nervously walked back and forth in the run-down temple, waiting for Shi Yong's arrival.

After walking back and forth twice, Wen Meng confirmed the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

This was not the first time she had tried to kill someone, but it was the first time she had done it herself. She was unavoidably afraid in her heart, afraid that if Shi Yong found out, she would be harmed, but when she thought about how if Shi Yong did not die, she would be facing an even greater crisis.

She could not lose everything she had, so Shi Yong had to die.

Wen Meng's killing intent became stronger and her anxious heart had calmed down.

Yun Qianliang went from the alley to the run-down temple. The sky was dark, and she could not see anyone outside the run-down temple, so she could not see their faces from a distance. Such a sky was perfect for doing evil.

She began to walk towards the door of the dilapidated temple, which had long since lost its color. The plaque at the entrance of the broken temple had long since fallen to the ground, allowing anyone to step on it and destroy it.

Upon stepping into the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, a gust of cold wind blew against their faces, stirring up the dust on the ground.

Yun Qianliang lit up the lanterns in front of his, and walked through the courtyard.

When Wen Meng heard the sound and saw the light outside, her heart thumped like thunder. She lowered her footsteps and hid herself somewhere, so that no outsiders would notice her presence.

Yun Qianliang stood at the entrance of the original two doors and said loudly: "Come out."

Wen Meng, who had just finished concealing herself, heard the voice she didn't want to hear the most.

Why would Yun Qianliang come here?

After waiting for a while, there were still no signs of people coming out. Yun Qianliang was in no hurry, she held up a lantern and lit it up, sizing up the ruined house shrouded in darkness, and looking at the accumulated dust, she waved his hands in disgust.

Wen Meng was not smart enough to kill people and keep their mouths shut. She chose this place to kill because she wanted to confuse the previous matter and make the people here feel like this place was unlucky and dead, but in truth, this was not a good place to kill people.

Compared to how cautious and bold Shi Yong was when he committed the crime, Wen Meng was as easy as pie.

If she wanted to kill Shi Yong, she could only do it unexpectedly.

"You don't need to wait, he won't come." Yun Qianliang said in a leisurely manner, "Looks like you really were forced into a corner. All you think about is how to silence them, you didn't pay attention to any news from the Jing Zhao Mansion."

Wen Meng's heart pounded like thunder. She slowly stood up and walked out of the house while holding her bag tightly with both of her hands.

was fully dressed, although she was not in a bad state of being exquisite, she dressed very nicely, and did not look awkward at all. Unfortunately, in front of that indifference, Wen Meng's actions and actions were enough to make her feel ashamed.

"Why would Madame come here?" Wen Meng made the first move.

"You still want to pretend to be innocent?" Yun Qianliang held up the lantern, letting the light of the candle illuminate the face in front of him.

"I don't know what the Lady is talking about." Wen Meng raised his hand to block, and then dodged.

Yun Qianliang shook her head, "Stubborn."

Wen Meng sneered, and picked up the bundle in her arms, saying haughtily: "Yun Qianliang, even if you catch the culprit, what can you do to me? "Don't think that I don't know. If you truly had the ability, you would have already sent me to the court. However, you came here to pick on me, meaning that you could not touch me."

Yun Qianliang smiled calmly, encouraging her aura.

She took off her cape and revealed her exquisite makeup and a smile on her face, as she slowly walked towards Yun Qianliang. Yun Qianliang …

"The Prime Minister treats me differently. As long as he protects me, you won't be able to touch me for even a second." With that, she threw the package in her hands towards Yun Qianliang ruthlessly. Her ferocious face was like a mistress who had gained power, bullying a weak servant with a trace of satisfaction.

Yun Qianliang's eyes became serious, she immediately used her right hand to grab Wen Meng and twisted her wrist slightly. The fingers on the hand that pulled out the dagger became deformed from the pain, and the dagger fell out of her hand.

Yun Qianliang kicked the dagger away and threw Wen Meng to the ground.

A series of movements were agile and smooth like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Yun Qianliang bent down and patted her face, smiling like a bad guy, "It is indeed different. Gu Yicheng is outside, the moment you walk out from here, from now on, no one can compare to you in Gu Xiangfu."

Wen Meng crashed onto the dirty ground, her sinister face was twisted due to the excruciating pain. She glared at Yun Qianliang with her bloodshot eyes, the rise and fall of her chest made it difficult for her to say a single word.

She really did not want Gu Yicheng to see her in such a miserable state, and the reason why she came here, was even more so unknown to others.

Wen Meng clenched her fists, the arrogance at the bottom of her heart seemed to be her bottom line, causing her to become more bold.

She used all her might to push Yun Qianliang away, reaching out to grab the lantern in Yun Qianliang's hand, she only had one thought, destroy everything in front of her. As long as she erased all these, her ugly side would never be revealed to others.

However, when Wen Meng was trying her best to take away her lantern, she did not let go. Instead, she grabbed onto Wen Meng's shoulder, and carried her onto her body, pretending to be Wen Meng trying to throw her down.

The two of them fell to the ground. Yun Qianliang turned the lantern upside down and lit it with a candle flame.

There were a lot of dried grass and fallen leaves inside the broken temple. As the lantern was ignited, all the junk around it was quickly set ablaze. The wind was blowing away the dry grass and leaves, making a lot of stuff burn.

"Wen Meng, this is the interest from poisoning me. Yun Qianliang's eyebrows curved as she laughed like a bad child. The flames reflected in her eyes made her look like an evil ghost.

Wen Meng realized that she had fallen into her trap, and wanted to stop him immediately, but Yun Qianliang held her back. In a moment of desperation, her movements inevitably became rough, and she tried to think of a way to escape.

Flames burned in the ruined temple, the red light dazzling in the darkness.

Soon after, Yun Qianliang heard footsteps heading towards the direction of the ruined temple. It was just that recently, due to the effects of the endotoxin, his ears were not as good as before, so he was unable to hear which footsteps he heard earlier.

But even so, for the current Wen Meng, there was no need to care if it was true or not.

"He came looking for you." Under the firelight, her delicate and flower-like face was pale, but it was reflected in the red light.

Yun Qianliang let go of Wen Meng and laid on the ground weakly, allowing the anxious Wen Meng to do whatever she wanted to her.

Wen Meng was self-righteous, but she did not know that when she stepped into this place alone, everything was just a trap.

To her, killing someone on the left was simply a matter of raising one's hand with a knife. To think that she would retaliate in such a way was thinking too mercifully of her.

Just like what Wen Meng said, they were unable to bring Wen Meng to justice because of Gu Yicheng, but they might not kill anyone if they tried to fight back. The true torture was psychological destruction, and it was far more painful than death.

If it was in the past, when she was using this method, it would be easy for her to be seen through, but it just so happened that her body was unwell recently, and Wen Meng was an anxious rabbit, everything was fine, she wouldn't take any interest to make herself feel wronged.
