Chapter 27: Stay Away From Her

Chen Shiyun was stunned by the fierce aura, her whole body stiffened, and she could barely control her trembling.

“Yes, the guest rooms are over there, and Tea led…”

Ling Xiao immediately rushed towards the guest rooms.

When he arrived, he could already hear the commotion inside.

His face instantly turned gloomy, he immediately stepped in, and saw a group of people searching inside, when they saw him, it was as if they had seen the King of Hell, their faces turned pale with fright.

“Marquis, Marquis…”

Ling Xiao kicked away the servant who was trying to stop him, then grabbed a leader: “Where’s Jiang Yao!”

“Yes… “

Ling Xiao squeezed his neck hard, with a cracking sound, his neck was directly broken.

He then threw him aside, the other servants were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy: “We didn’t do anything, we were just following orders, our Gongzi told us to search here.”

“Who told you to do this?” Ling Xiao’s eyes were cold and sinister.

“Yes, Madam Ling…”

Mo Shu Jie rushed out from inside, furious: “You bunch of lazy bums, you dare to slack off here! I told you to turn the place upside down, you all…”

Before he could finish, he suddenly met Ling Xiao’s two sinister eyes, and his whole body began to tremble with fear.

“Marquis, Marquis, why are you here?”

Ling Xiao’s face was gloomy: “Where’s Jiang Yao?”

Mo Shu Jie was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head: “No, no, no… “

Ling Xiao drew his sword from its scabbard, the sound of the blade scraping against the scabbard was chilling.

Mo Shu Jie knelt down with a thud: “Marquis, spare me, Marquis, spare me!”

He suddenly realized something, and immediately said: “I came to catch them in the act, my brother was having an affair with a woman, they were having a private meeting, I caught them red-handed.”

He pointed at the guest rooms behind him with trembling fingers: “They all went in, they haven’t come out yet, they must be hiding inside, I swear, I swear I’ll search… ah!”

Ling Xiao kicked him in the chest, directly knocking him over, then stepped over him.

Some of the guest rooms had been searched, Ling Xiao stepped in, kicked open the doors of the remaining few rooms, but they were all empty.

He suspected that Mo Shu Jie was lying, he was about to turn back to settle the score with him, but then he suddenly saw a pile of boxes in the corner.

“There are traces of movement.”

His eyes narrowed slightly: “Move them.”

“Yes.”

Jian and the others immediately moved the boxes away.

Sure enough, when the boxes were moved away, a door appeared, it was only big enough for one person to enter, it was very hidden.

He stepped forward and kicked it open.

Yao, who was hiding inside, shrank her neck in fright, Mo Zichen immediately protected her from behind.

Ling Xiao entered the door, seeing Jiang Yao hiding behind Mo Zichen, his face was almost extremely gloomy.

Mo Zichen thought it was Mo Shu Jie who had come, he didn’t expect that when the door opened, it was actually the Ling Marquis!

“Marquis…”

Jiang Yao suddenly heard this address, she raised her head in panic, meeting Ling Xiao’s two sinister black eyes.

Her whole body trembled suddenly, fear spread throughout her body, she was several times more afraid than when she saw Mo Shu Jie.

Ling Xiao stared at Jiang Yao, who was still hiding behind Mo Zichen, his eyes were filled with suppressed anger: “Come here!”

Yao was shocked and her face turned pale.

This man, who was like a god of death, she wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

Now he was staring at her, waiting.

Yao stiffly moved towards him, seeing Ling Xiao’s cold aura, she even wanted to bury herself.

Her whole body was stiff, she was very slow, she had only taken half a step before she lost her patience, she stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to his side.

Yao was pulled off balance, she almost fell, she grabbed his arm to steady herself, she was frightened and immediately let go.

But he still held her wrist,

“I didn’t allow you to leave.”

Mo Zichen was afraid of misunderstanding, he explained: “Madam Jiang was tricked just now, she was almost in danger, and she was trapped here, Mo Shu Jie was searching everywhere, if he found her, she wouldn’t be able to live, so I helped her, I brought her to hide here…”

Ling Xiao looked at him, his black eyes were sharp: “Since that’s the case, I thank you for your help today.”

Yao almost couldn’t believe her eyes, it was so easy for him to believe?

“Does he trust him so much?”

She thought he would tie her up and throw her into the pond immediately.

But Mo Zichen could feel the undisguised possessiveness in Ling Xiao’s eyes, his face stiffened, and he was instantly speechless.

Men understand men best, one look can penetrate another’s heart.

At this moment, the atmosphere in this narrow room was tense.

Ling Xiao held Jiang Yao’s wrist tightly, staring at Mo Zichen, his eyes warned: “Stay away from her in the future.”

Mo Zichen’s face was tense, he didn’t answer.

Ling Xiao didn’t bother to answer either, this was just a warning.

“Once again, I’m warning you.”

Ling Xiao pulled Jiang Yao and turned around, Yao didn’t dare to resist, she had just arrived and saw several corpses in front of her, and Mo Shu Jie was lying there, spitting blood and trying to stop the bleeding.

Her face turned pale, she was so scared that she couldn’t speak.

“Marquis, what should we do with these people?”

“Kill them.” His voice was flat.

Yao shivered.

“What about Mo Shu Jie?”

Ling Xiao glanced at the fat man, his eyes were filled with murderous intent: “Take him to the Imperial Prison, kill him.”

“Yes.”

He pulled Jiang Yao, Chen Shiyun also rushed over with her maidservants.

Er cried and ran over: “Madam!”

As soon as she got close, she was frightened by the killing intent that burst out from Ling Xiao, she took two steps back, she didn’t dare to go any closer, she could only look at Jiang Yao with tear-filled eyes.

“Marquis, what’s going on?” Chen Shiyun hurriedly asked.

Ling Xiao looked at her: “What exactly happened?”

Chen Shiyun was so frightened by his cold aura that her face turned pale, but she still forced herself to admit: “Half an hour ago, the maid accidentally knocked over the tea, so I had her take Madam to change, she said that the maid hadn’t come back yet, probably because she was serving Madam with a bath, I really didn’t know that Mo Shu Jie would be so bold as to dare to do such a thing…”

She hadn’t sent anyone to participate, only Tea, she had just come to lure her away.

She was ready to retreat completely, to clear herself of all responsibility.

Jian brought Tea, who was covered in blood, over.

Tea was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly: “Miss ordered this servant to lure Madam Ling away, this servant didn’t know that Madam Ling would suddenly knock this servant unconscious, this servant didn’t do anything, this servant really didn’t do anything!”

Chen Shiyun hurriedly said: “It must be Mo Shu Jie’s plan, he had been coveting Madam since he came today, he even had the maid scold her, I thought Madam, the Ling Marquis’ elder sister-in-law, would know her place, I didn’t expect him to be so bold!”

Now that Jiang Yao’s clothes were complete, seeing that Mo Shu Jie hadn’t succeeded, she would definitely slander the two of them for having an affair, she could only blame it on Mo Shu Jie’s scheme.

After all, this banquet was organized by her, she was in charge of everything, and naturally she would help to testify.

Yao’s face was a little difficult, she was good at acting, she had cleared herself of all responsibility, no wonder he was so bold as to set up such a vicious scheme in the imperial villa.

It turned out that she had prepared everything to make Mo Shu Jie bear all the blame.

Chen Shiyun said to Yao with red eyes: “It’s alright, you’re safe, I didn’t expect to keep you, Mo Shu Jie’s covetousness, you should be on guard, just now when you were changing clothes, I thought you were just taking a bath, that’s why it took so long, I didn’t think much of it.”

“After all, this is the imperial villa, who would dare to do anything here? Today, I was preparing for the banquet, I should have been more careful, now that this has happened, I can’t escape the blame.”

Yao’s face was expressionless, she didn’t say anything.

Chen Shiyun’s plan was flawless, she didn’t leave any evidence, she could only be suspected.

Could it be that Ling Xiao would believe his fiancée and not believe his wife?

Chen Shiyun looked at Ling Xiao with tear-filled eyes, she cried pitifully: “Marquis…”

Ling Xiao’s expression was indifferent, he finally spoke: “You’re right.”

Chen Shiyun’s eyes flashed, her tear-filled eyes were filled with hope.

Her voice was calm: “Today, I organized this banquet, this happened, I can’t escape the blame.”

Chen Shiyun stiffened, her tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes, her pupils contracted.

Ling Xiao looked at her, his eyes were like ice, his voice was flat: “I thought that the Chen family was a prestigious family, and that the daughter they raised would be intelligent and virtuous, I didn’t expect you to be so incompetent.”

The word “incompetent” hit her heart hard, making her feel like she had been struck by lightning.

“Organizing such a banquet, with such negligence, causing such an accident, how can you be worthy of being the mistress of the house?”

Chen Shiyun’s lips trembled, tears rolled down her cheeks, her whole body was stiff.

Ling Xiao was unmoved: “Ling will not tolerate such a useless person, the engagement is hereby annulled.”
