Everyone at the banquet returned to their seats, as they all forgot what that luxurious carriage looked like and only remembered Shiya's sorry figure.

"This is really too amazing. The expression on Lian Shiya's face just now was really marvelous. It's enough for me to savor it for a few years." Liu Xi Ren whispered into Lian Lu Yue's ear.

"You don't seem to like my third sister very much?" Lian Ruyue discovered that the person Liu Xiren hated wasn't her, but Lian Shiya. In her previous life, she always charged in front of Lian Shiya to protect her, but in the end, she ended up falling out with Liu Xiren.

"Heh, those people with ill intentions, they clearly don't like Gu Jinming, but they secretly sent her away. After making her feel tempted, they then pretended that they don't know her, she really wants everyone in the world to surround her!" Liu Xiren reprimanded coldly.

Gu Jinming? Lian Ruyue followed Liu Xiren's gaze, only to see Gu Jinming, the eldest son of a rank three martial general, looking at her. She immediately understood why Liu Xiren loathed Lian Shiya.

You obviously don't want it, but you also don't want to give it to others. Just like this, this kind of woman who doesn't deserve any face, after spending so much effort to win others' love, she will be happy. His father even came to my house to propose marriage, but deliberately fell down in front of him during the banquet and smiled sweetly at him, making him lose his mind. If she really likes Gu Jinming, then she'll marry him. Liu Xi's eyes turned red.

So that was the case. In her previous life, she was clumsy and was unable to see the reason behind it. Furthermore, she was used by Lian Shiya as a shield …

"After what happened just now, Young Master Gu probably doesn't like my third sister anymore, right?" Lian Ruyue held Liu Xi's hand silently and said.

Liu Xi Ren sniffed and laughed: "Anyway, it's none of my business."

Chun Ru brought the Xiao family and Lian Shiya to a courtyard room in the backyard.

Once the door was closed, the Xiao Clan released Lian Shiya, and their faces were almost distorted with anger. "It's a good day to go out. You have to change her carriage. Now that you're in such a state, everything is in vain!"

Along the way, they met people who wanted to assassinate Lian Rue, but they were heading towards the carriage so naturally they were going for their golden carriage.

Lian Shiya was raised in a deep room and had never seen such a scene before. She screamed out in fright and fell from the carriage, covered in injuries. When her bright sword slashed down, she was actually so frightened! Fortunately, she had shouted out in time to prevent them from killing Lian Shiya and returning to pursue Lian Ruyue.

However, at this time, a few black-clothed men appeared out of nowhere and used their swords to cut off the hairpins and clothes on Lian Shiya's head, causing her to leave in a sorry state. She originally wanted to return home and not disgrace herself, but that driver didn't listen to her advice and quickly drove the carriage to the Xiao Estate.

That was how the situation had developed.

Lian Shiya tightly clenched her fists as she looked at her miserable and ugly appearance in the mirror. She suddenly screamed and brushed everything on the dressing table onto the ground —

"Mom, hurry up. Let them wash my face and comb my makeup. Bring Xiao Rou's most beautiful clothes over for me to wear. There's no use for her to wear anyway!"

"Eldest Sister-in-Law!" When Madam Xiao saw this, she hurriedly shouted to stop Lian Shiya from continuing to speak. When Lian Shiya heard the two words' Madam Xiao ', she was shocked and immediately turned around — —

"Uncle, aunt …"

Madam Xiao walked in with an icy cold expression. She glanced at Lian Shiya and said, "It's useless for Xiao Rou to wear it, but it's still Xiao Rou's item. No matter how pretty you look, it's not yours."

Lian Shiya's face turned red and her head lowered. In her heart, she regretted not being able to keep her mouth open when her aunt heard this.

When Madam Xiao saw this, she hurriedly said, "Eldest sister-in-law, don't be angry. Ya Er's meaning is …"

"Xian Min, even though Xiao Rou has one of her legs broken, her surname is Xiao and she is the only direct daughter of the family. Even if she has two broken legs, your uncle and I will protect her forever.

Ya Er has two legs and a beautiful face, which is why your uncle wants to use you to consolidate his power. However, do not overestimate yourself underestimating others. With your brother, he knows exactly what you are thinking. "It's not that we don't want Ya Er to go. It's not difficult to find someone from the Xiao Clan's branch family who suits our expectations."

Madam Xiao's words caused Xiao Xian Min to feel chills run down her spine. She quickly replied, "Eldest sister-in-law, Ya Er and I have no different intentions!"

"Aunt, I will listen to Uncle's words. I was just anxious for a lifetime, so I said those damnable words. I won't do it again in the future." Even Shiya broke out in a cold sweat.

Madam Xiao turned around and said to the maidservant, "Give the young mistress some clothes to change into."

When Lian Shiya saw the clothes, she immediately frowned slightly and softly said, "These clothes are a bit too plain, even more so than the clothes that Lian Ruyue has."

"I've already shamed myself to this extent. If I were you, I would have stayed in this room tonight and wouldn't have appeared again. However, if you insist on appearing, then it's best for you to dress in a low-key manner, wear beautiful outfits and attract everyone's gazes. Do you want everyone to remember your ugly appearance just now? "

Madam Xiao's words rendered Lian Shiya speechless. She could only put it on unwillingly.

"Mom, don't you think it's strange? My cousin's leg was broken, so Aunt doesn't seem to be too sad. " After Madam Xiao left, Lian Shiya whispered.

The Xiao family's brows creased slightly.

At the banquet.

A group of exotic beauties appeared, singing and dancing at the same time. The entire banquet was bustling with noise and excitement. It was clear that the Xiao Estate was bustling with activity.

At this moment, a soldier quietly walked behind Xiao He and said in a low voice, "Young Marquis, we can't find any of the ten people we sent!"

"What …" Xiao He's subordinates paused as he put down the wine cup in his hand. His ten great experts were all battle-hardened. No matter how powerful they were, they wouldn't be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. There was only one possibility:

Xiao He's gaze slowly descended upon Lian Ruyue's body — —

Someone was helping her from behind!

Who was that person?

"Keep searching. It's impossible for ten people to vanish into thin air!" Xiao He instructed in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Father, I think things are not that simple. There is a force behind Lian Rue, and this force is controlling the development of the situation." Xiao He whispered to Xiao Zhenhai.

Xiao Zhenhai was still holding his wine cup to accept the congratulations of his underlings. He spat out a cold word, "Investigate carefully."

In a small forest on the outskirts of Beijing, the snow was already as thick as his knees.

The ten men in black lined up in a row, forced to kneel in the snow. Behind them were twenty men in dark armor, their eyes filled with coldness.

Standing in front of them was a man wearing a moon-white robe. His handsome face seemed as if it had been carved with knives and axes. His eyes exuded a trace of indifference.

He raised his right hand, and the twenty people in black armor quickly retreated, disappearing without a trace.

Feng Yunzheng had also secretly nurtured a team that could kill people without a trace, specifically removing all sorts of obstacles for Feng Yunzheng and Lian Rue. Every time these people completed their mission, they would disappear without a trace like ghosts.

Ye Feng looked at these people who had already been subdued and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with these people?"

"It's up to you." Feng Yunzheng said. He was calm and collected, but he was emitting a bone-piercing killing intent!

"Alright, your majesty." In the blink of an eye, the clothes of these ten people had all been stripped off, and they kneeled down in the snow, their bodies naked.

One of the black-clothed men's eyes were cold. He looked at the night wind and said, "Despicable!"

Ye Feng was startled, and his face revealed a playful expression, "Aiyo, this is serious. You still know how despicable it is. If it wasn't despicable, what would happen if ten men bullied a little girl?"

"..." "Hmph …" The man snorted.

"If it's that, then it's that. You guys have offended the person my master doted on, so there's no other way. Go see Hades!" As Ye Feng spoke, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. A bloodthirsty ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He stabbed his long sword into the black clothed man's throat. With a twist of the sword, he pulled it back … The man's head fell to the ground. He turned around and kicked the man out of the snow pit.

From the looks of it, the winter this year was a bit longer. The snow would probably need more time to melt. After killing these people and burying them under the snow, who found them all of a sudden?

Feng Yunzheng turned around and walked out while stepping on the snow, leaving behind a few words, "Leaving behind two alive is still useful."

As he spoke, he got into the carriage that was waiting for him.

Now, it was time to go to the Xiao family to see Yue Er.
