As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the first wife, as though he didn't intend to back down in the slightest.
However, the First Lady didn't seem to be willing to answer this question. She frowned and just sat there, not saying anything. At this moment, the woman in black who had been silent all this time suddenly stepped forward and spoke softly to Jun Lin Yue.
"Stop trying to make things difficult for the first wife. The one who wants to kill you isn't actually the first wife …" As the woman finished speaking, her watery eyes were fixated on Jun Linyue. She wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Jun Lin Yue hadn't expected that the woman in black would suddenly open her mouth. He had grown up in the Black Tortoise Manor since young, so he knew who was the daughter of the manor. However, he had no impression of this woman. It was as if she had appeared out of thin air. This woman's inner self was as mysterious as her black skirt.
However, even after hearing her words, Jun Linyue still continued to ask, "You said that the First Madam didn't want to kill me? Who is it exactly? Who wants my head so badly?" "Tell me quickly!" After speaking, Jun Lanyue's tone was filled with urgency. He stared fixedly at the eyes of the young lady in black, his gaze filled with a sense of urgency as though he wanted to pierce through her.
Hearing Jun Lin Yue's urgent question, the woman in black's eyes gleamed as if she had come to a decision. She looked at him and said,
"Jun Linyue, I have to admit that you have truly surprised me today. For someone to be so scheming and smart at this age, you are indeed extraordinary, but in this world where experts rule over each other, no amount of scheming and scheming can withstand a single blow. Right now you are too weak, so there are some things you better not continue to ask. If you stop here and hand Yang Xi'er over, I can guarantee your safety today. Not only that, I can also let you, the Marquis of Xuanwu, safely carry on with your task, what do you think? "
After she finished speaking, the woman quietly stood in front of Jun Lin. Her exposed eyes were flickering, as though she was contemplating something.
For a moment, Jun Lin Yue fell into deep thought. The woman in black dress's words were full of strangeness, one could not help but be wary of them. Moreover, from her words, he could deduce that she must have an extremely deep background. Otherwise, the people who would directly talk to him like that were few in number in Black Tortoise City.
However, even though the current Jun Lin Yue felt like he was trapped in a layer of fog and couldn't find a way out, he vaguely felt that if he gave up on pursuing the matter, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"You're right, the current me is indeed too weak. But, if I don't even dare to know who's going to kill me, then no matter how strong I am, what's the use of being strong on the outside!" So please be sure to tell me the truth. "
The woman in black didn't expect Jun Lanyue to say something like this. If it was anyone else who had heard her words, they would have flinched. Yet, when he said it, she gave him a deep look and suddenly broke into a smile.
Ha, your character is really quite similar to that person's. Since you want to know, then I'll tell you. But I can remind you, after knowing this secret, even if you get dragged into muddy water in the future, you can die at any time.
Jun Linyue smiled as well, his tone firm as he replied, "I will never regret it."
After a long time, she finally spoke up, "I originally wanted you to live another three years without worries. But since you're so determined, I'll tell you right now, it's your mother who wants to put you to death."
He was stunned for a long time, and then he felt as if a huge hole had been gouged out in his heart. He felt pain in his heart all the way to his fingertip and shouted in disbelief, "It was my mother who wanted to kill me, you're lying!" My mother is already dead! You, don't even think about lying to me! "
Having heard the news of his mother twice within a few days, Jun Lanyue's mind was in complete chaos, and his heart was in incomparable pain.
The girl in the black dress seemed to have seen the pain in Jun Lin Yue's heart. A trace of reluctance flashed through the depths of her enigmatic eyes as she sighed softly, "Ai …" Your mother is still alive, and she's still alive and well. This is all I can tell you. Don't ask me about anything else, I won't say anything else. "
Jun Lanyue felt his hands tremble uncontrollably, and his expression became extremely ugly. The light in his eyes dimmed, and his mouth was somewhat dry and cracked as he said with difficulty, "Can …" Please tell me, my mother... Why would my mother want to kill me? " After saying that, he looked at the woman in the black dress with an imploring look, his eyes filled with sadness.
The woman in the black dress didn't want to speak anymore, but under Jun Lin Yue's pleading gaze, she turned around and softly said, "Because you shouldn't have existed in this world to begin with."
Upon hearing these words, Jun Lanyue's head spun, and he slumped back in his chair. His expression was completely lifeless, as if his soul had been sucked out of his body. The woman's words echoed in his mind.
"You shouldn't have existed in this world …"
The woman in black shook her head helplessly as she retreated back to the side of the eldest madame. As she looked at the sorrowful Jun Linyue, she didn't say another word.
At this moment, Jun Lanyue's heart was in a turmoil. Since ancient times, a tiger had tried to poison its own son. How could a mother possibly personally take his life? Furthermore, wasn't it rumored that she had already …
The more Jun Lin thought about it, the more confused he felt. His head felt as if it was about to explode, and he felt that he was already shrouded in a layer of fog.
"Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough!" Jun Lin Yue rubbed his brows. If he had the strength to back up his actions, he would definitely capture everyone present and force them to reveal the truth.
At this point, the first wife looked at Jun Lin Yue and said, "I've already agreed to your conditions. Do you dare to go back on your words?" An enormous surge of energy instantly locked onto Jun Lanyue. If Jun Lanyue didn't react in time, he would have been dismembered on the spot.
"Power!" It's still a question of strength! " Jun Lanyue howled in his heart. If he had such strength, why would he be willing to lower himself to others?
He picked up a pen from the table, wrote a few words on it, and threw it to the eldest madame. He then smiled and said, "It is impossible to keep up with a lord's words, let alone the fact that this place is under the feet of the Son of Heaven."
On that paper, there were records of Yang Xi'er's hiding place, as well as his two loyal subordinates.
The first wife picked up the piece of paper and gloomily looked at Jun Linyue. 'I'm afraid your last sentence is a reminder for me to not do anything, right?'
"Humph!" The first wife snorted and threw herself out to dry. If he stayed here for one more minute, he would probably be unable to control his temper and would want to kill him.
Seeing that he was the only one left in this large hall, Jun Lanyue suddenly had a bad premonition. The premonition was getting stronger and stronger, but he couldn't remember where it came from.
