Chapter 301 Liu Zhaodi is dead
Jiang Yi quickly pushed Zhaodi to the ground and slapped her twice.
He untied her belt, twisted her hands behind her back and tied her up.
Xue Qing took out a lighter from his arms and lit the candle.
Jiang Yi pulled off the black cloth covering the beam, and it turned out to be Liu Zhaodi. A drop of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. There was no trace of fear in her eyes, she just glared at Jiang Yi hatefully.
"Sister Jiang" Xue Qing signaled Jiang Yi to let her go.
Xue Qing sat down and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's no use glaring at me. You can't kill me!"
Jiang Yi stood beside Xue Qing with her legs apart. Xue Qing knew that she was ready to protect herself at any time.
Liu Zhaodi sneered: "You won't make it to the capital alive!"
Xue Qing raised his eyebrows: "He is so unwilling to let me go to the capital, it seems that he will not live long"
A trace of panic flashed across Liu Zhaodi's eyes, and then she said viciously; "Humph, you really are...ah"
Before Liu Zhaodi could say anything, a hidden weapon pierced her chest and she died.
Jiang Yi's face changed, he turned around and opened the window, it was pitch black outside, not a single person in sight.
Xue Qing stepped forward and checked Liu Zhaodi's breath, confirming that she was no longer breathing.
After searching her whole body, nothing suspicious was found, but there was a tattoo on her shoulder that looked like a bird totem.
He punched the ground in frustration. He originally thought that he could get information about the person behind the scenes from Liu Zhaodi, but he didn't expect to watch her being silenced in front of him.
Jiang Yi saw Xue Qing's livid face and walked forward cautiously: "Qing'er, I'll get rid of the body first."
Jiang Yi carried Liu Zhaodi's body and jumped down from the second floor.
She had always thought that the Xue family was afraid that the matter of the fake daughter would be exposed. Once it was exposed at this time, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, so they would rather kill her and protect the Xue family.
But now she had some doubts. If someone wanted to kill her, there were plenty of opportunities to do so in her first year of high school. Why make it so complicated?
The only clue is the totem tattoo on Liu Zhaodi's shoulder. Judging from her skills, if Jiang Yi hadn't been there, she would have definitely won, but she was defeated by Jiang Yi, so it seems that her martial arts skills are not very high.
But she clearly had a chance to escape, but turned around and committed suicide. The mission to kill herself was a death order, and she would die if she failed to complete it!
It seems that the journey to the capital will become more and more dangerous, and the people behind the scenes will not let me go to the capital easily.
Xue Qing knew that there were always people up there, so he simply invited him in: "Come in, do you still want me to go up to the roof to invite you?"
Xue Qing opened the window and sat on a stool waiting for them.
After a while, two masked men in black came in one after another, and stood aside in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Qian sent you here," Xue Qing said with certainty.
The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "Mr. Wu, yes..."
Xue Qing was more like their master at this moment: "Do you know the origin of Liu Zhaodi?"
The two looked at each other and said, "We don't know."
"Do you know why you want to kill me?"
"I don't know"
"Do you know why she died?"
"I don't know"
Xue Qing had just brought the teacup to his mouth when it fell on the table with a bang.
"You don't know anything after three questions. What are you doing here?"
Xue Qing's voice suddenly became stern.
The two were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees.
They were not really afraid of Xue Qing, but they understood very well how important this young lady was in their master's heart.
"Get out!" Xue Qing said one word without even looking at them.
The two men bowed and retreated.
After Jiang Yi came back, he saw Xue Qing sitting alone, motionless, and looked around cautiously.
"Come in, there's no one else"
"It's been handled," Jiang Yi said as he stood opposite Xue Qing.
Xue Qing raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yi expressionlessly. The moment Jiang Yi saw Xue Qing's eyes, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.
Xue Qing stood up. Now her height was almost catching up with Jiang Yi. "Sister Jiang, on the way to the capital, there will be more and more people trying to kill me. I am going to the capital this time to get rid of those who want to kill me."
There was no warmth in Xue Qing's voice.
“It’s dangerous to stay with me.”
Jiang Yi immediately said: "Qing'er, no matter what danger there is, I will be there to block it."
After listening to Jiang Yi's words, Xue Qing only said two words: "Thank you."
There was still half an hour before dawn. Xue Qing fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Jiang was lying on the couch with his eyes closed.
Chenshi
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi came down from the second floor and saw the proprietress standing behind the counter, fiddling with an abacus.
The two of them sat down, and within a cup of tea, the waiter put breakfast on the table.
Xue Qing picked up the steamed bun and smelled it: "What do you think the lady boss's last name is?"
Jiang Yi couldn't keep up with Xue Qing's train of thought and shook his head.
Xue Qing: “Very charming”
When the carriage arrived at the door, the two walked out. Xue Qing turned back and walked up to the proprietress who was still fiddling with the abacus: "Is the shopkeeper's surname Jin?"
The proprietress raised her head. Xue Qing didn't know what her expression was when she lowered her head, but what she saw now was a face that was charming but not greasy.
The lady boss smiled and said, "My last name is Yue."
After saying this, she closed the account book and walked out of the counter gracefully: "I should see you off, sir. I hope you can come back and stay a few more days next time."
Xue Qing raised the corner of his mouth: "I know you very well! Shopkeeper Yue!"
While Manager Yue was stunned, Xue Qing had already walked out. She took two quick steps out of the door and watched Xue Qing get on the carriage.
He said to the carriage: "Sir, take care."
Jiang Yi looked at Xue Qing in surprise, because of the smile on Xue Qing's face at that moment, a smile that exuded joy in his eyes.
She lifted the curtain and looked at Shopkeeper Yue who was getting smaller and smaller.
Not long after leaving the city, Zhou Qian's carriage stopped not far away. When the coachman saw Xue Qing's carriage passing by, he whipped the horse on the butt.
"When I come back from the capital, I'll stay here for a month," Xue Qing seemed to be talking to himself.
Jiang Yi's first reaction was that Xue Qing meant staying at Yuelai Inn.
Anyang City
Xiao Cao is now the housekeeper of the Xia family. Liu seems to be in good health since that incident, but she is always weak.
After the doctor examined me, he just said that I was worrying too much and had insufficient energy and blood, and prescribed a lot of medicine.
The amount of medicine Liu takes every day is almost the same as the amount of food she eats.
Today, Liu was in good spirits. The little maid helped her lie half-way on the rocking chair under the locust tree in the yard. Smelling the fragrance of the locust flowers, Liu suddenly felt that she was completely well again.
Xiao Cao brought a bowl of ginseng soup over and said, "Madam, you look really good today. Please drink the ginseng soup later."
Liu has now gotten used to being served by several maids every day, especially Xiaocao, who keeps the house in order.
"Let it go. Let them do these things from now on." Liu remembered what Xia Xuelian said, that it would be better to show some kindness to important servants from time to time, so that they would be more loyal.
Xiaocao's face was full of gratitude: "Madam, please be more considerate."
He sat down at Liu's feet and gently massaged her calves.
