Chapter 248: Take Us as Wives (Fifth Update)

Immediately, the atmosphere plunged into deathly silence again.

Occasionally, Ye Wenxin would glance up to observe Madam Yu’s reaction, only to see that the skeleton had become even more malevolent.

Sometimes, its aura would float out and circle around Ye Wenxin. If it weren’t for Ye Wenxin’s peach blossom aura blocking it, she suspected that the skeleton would have entangled her by now.

“Sister Wenxin, I won’t blame you if you like my mother. But you have to think of me; how pitiful it would be for me to be alone. If you decide to be with my mother, why not take me too?”

As Qiao Ni continued to promote herself, Ye Wenxin only felt that the skeleton aura around Madam Yu was becoming more terrifying, as if its bony hand was about to reach out and strangle her.

Faced with Qiao Ni’s innocence, and then Madam Yu’s intense murderous intent, Ye Wenxin even had a premonition that she might be nurturing a true villain.

“No, no, no, we still need to consider your mother’s opinion; your mother still has your father.”

“But Father can’t marry me; you can take both of us as wives.”

Qiao Ni didn’t understand why Ye Wenxin had such a dark expression, but soon, something seemed to come to mind.

Her face turned serious again. “You don’t only like my mother, do you? Just wait a few years, and I can definitely become just like my mother…”

Ye Wenxin couldn’t help but glance up. She saw that the peach blossom aura surrounding her was circling around Qiao Ni, as if the peach blossoms were ready to penetrate her heart, and enchant Qiao Ni into becoming her captive.

Ye Wenxin hurriedly reached out to grab it, but her attempt was in vain. However, the peach blossom aura retracted and didn’t continue to float towards Qiao Ni. Instead, it flew towards Madam Yu.

More bizarrely, upon seeing the peach blossom aura approaching, the black and red skeleton raised its bony hand and crushed the petals directly, not giving Ye Wenxin’s peach blossom aura a chance to taint it.

Realizing that luck could counteract each other, Ye Wenxin sighed with relief and finally smiled. “In a few days, you’ll understand. You don’t actually like me.”

The more Qiao Ni listened, the more confused she became. Meanwhile, Madam Yu was still holding the ‘Ye Wenxin doll’ in her hands, lost in thought.

However, Ye Wenxin had a strong feeling that Madam Yu was contemplating how to kill her……

The journey resumed the next day. Madam Yu’s health was much better than usual, but everyone noticed that instead of sitting, she preferred to stand.

Occasionally, she would even walk around. Her walking posture was quite awkward.

Every time Huang Hanyan saw this, her eyes turned strange. She assumed that Ye Wenxin had done something indecent to Madam Yu in the carriage.

Ye Wenxin was on the verge of tears, but couldn’t possibly explain the details of Madam Yu’s treatment, so she simply continued to be misunderstood.

Meanwhile, Qiao Ni ran to Ye Wenxin’s side more and more frequently, and Madam Yu didn’t show the slightest intention of stopping her.

However, the skeleton aura around Madam Yu grew increasingly larger. The red aura almost completely overshadowed the black, leaving only a black heart.

The skeleton aura moved freely, and whenever it encountered other colored auras floating in the air, it would unhesitatingly devour them.

However, this luck seemed to be incompatible with Ye Wenxin’s, perhaps also due to the conflicting auras between Ye Wenxin and Madam Yu.

Qiao Ni became increasingly infatuated with Ye Wenxin, while Madam Yu’s murderous intent towards Ye Wenxin grew even stronger.

“Tomorrow, we will reach Green Isle Manor’s territory.”

The journey was finally nearing its end. Elder Wu sighed deeply, and his gaze frequently turned towards Madam Yu.

Others couldn’t help but look at Madam Yu as well, feeling that ever since Ye Wenxin had treated her, Madam Yu had become even more captivating, like an enchanting rose, stirring their hearts.

She was originally a beauty, and now, her face had a healthy complexion. On occasions, even Qiao Ni would be captivated by her.

However, they were unaware of Madam Yu’s bitterness. Since being treated by Ye Wenxin, not a single part of her body felt comfortable.

She couldn’t sit or stand for long periods. When she just wanted to catch her breath, for some reason, everyone kept staring at her.

Thinking about how her daughter hadn’t seen Ye Wenxin’s true nature and had become even more infatuated with her, Madam Yu felt a headache coming on.

“Mother, can I discuss something with you?” Qiao Ni had come up with another bad idea.

Madam Yu felt an even stronger headache, unable to fathom how she had given birth to such a quirky daughter. Could it be because of that person?

Sighing inwardly, she pushed that red figure deep down in her heart, and then looked at her daughter, Qiao Ni.

“If it has to do with Miss Wenxin, you don’t need to say it.” Even now, Madam Yu couldn’t understand why Qiao Ni was interested in a scumbag like Ye Wenxin.

Apart from her appearance, Ye Wenxin’s personality and behavior were quite poor, especially her medical ethics. She always said strange things, and even…

At this thought, Madam Yu gasped, feeling a pain in her backside again, and her hatred for Ye Wenxin grew stronger. If she had known she would suffer such humiliation, Madam Yu would never have allowed Ye Wenxin to treat her.

But others were unaware of this.

Even Huang Hanyan couldn’t help but glance at Madam Yu a few more times from a distance, and spoke to Ye Wenxin, “Look how beautiful Madam Yu is, like a painting.”

Ye Wenxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes and mutter, “How beautiful can a person be? Maybe she just has that expression because her butt hurts.”

Huang Hanyan tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, and looked at Ye Wenxin. However, she saw that, despite her words, Ye Wenxin couldn’t take her eyes off Madam Yu in the distance.

Huang Hanyan murmured to herself, “If only I could be as beautiful as her.” She had never pursued beauty before, but now she envied those who were beautiful, because Ye Wenxin always liked to look at pretty women.

However, the person herself was completely unaware of her own behavior.

But Ye Wenxin wasn’t looking at Madam Yu at all. She was only focused on the skeleton floating in the air. As it grew larger, she sighed.

Given time, Madam Yu might really turn into a terrifying villain like Long Qingyue.

Ye Wenxin wanted to cleanly and decisively eliminate this future threat, but after putting in so much effort to save Madam Yu, she felt some reluctance.

And if Madam Yu died, Qiao Ni might find an excuse to cling to her.

After thinking for a while, Ye Wenxin ultimately didn’t take action. However, it seemed that someone else was even more impatient than she was.

“It looks like Elder Wu is going to make his move tonight.” Ye Wenxin’s gaze shifted again to see Elder Wu’s burning eyes. If she wasn’t mistaken, today was the best time for Elder Wu to act.

“Sigh, making a move in front of Green Isle Manor?” Huang Hanyan found this hard to believe.

She thought Elder Wu would wait until they returned to the city to act against her, but she didn’t expect Ye Wenxin to say such things.

“No, not against you, but against Madam Yu.”

Ye Wenxin took out a Spring Pill, smiling sinisterly. With this, she planned to execute the perfect scheme. A scheme of using someone else to kill for her.
