Ling Qingwan didn't vent her anger on Yun Gui during the whole journey just because Yun Gui was trying to save him. After hearing Sui An's complaint, Ling Qingwan was angry again.
"Did I let you save me? Just because you saved me last night, I have to be grateful to you for the rest of my life?" Ling Qingwan laughed angrily.
Yun Gui frowned.
"Even if you are not grateful, you don't have to slap my master as soon as you can move. Also, look at your tone now. My master has never been said like this by anyone." Sui An was not willing to be outdone and confronted Ling Qingwan.
Yun Gui's mind was blank at this moment, and he was wondering if he had done something wrong again.
But, at first he just wanted to save Ling Qingwan.
"Did you see that? This couple died because of me. If I hadn't left last night and I were still here, those Northern Zhou people wouldn't have killed them, and they would still be alive."
Ling Qingwan was extremely excited and pointed at the two bodies lying on the ground.
Those Northern Zhou people were extremely cruel. It is hard to imagine what kind of suffering they went through in their lifetime.
"My master doesn't know about it." Sui An suddenly felt a little guilty and no longer had the confidence he had just when he accused Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan glanced at Sui'an coldly, then glanced at Yun Gui.
"You go now."
She said this to Yun Gui.
"I didn't mean it." Yun Gui opened his mouth and wanted to explain to Ling Qingwan.
He had a lot to say, but facing Ling Qingwan, he was speechless.
"Yeah." Ling Qingwan's tone was cold, without any emotion in it.
"Young Master, let's go. She is an ungrateful person and we can't keep her warm." Sui'an and Ruan Yungui left.
Ling Qingwan was so resistant to him that Yun Gui was worried about leaving like this. He was afraid that he would never see Ling Qingwan again.
"I asked you to leave, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Ling Qingwan was helping the couple close their eyes and put on their clothes. From time to time, she could hear Sui An's voice complaining about her, which made her very annoyed.
"Are you wondering, you clearly saved me, so why did I still speak ill of you and force you to leave?" Ling Qingwan stood up and faced Yun Gui.
Yun Gui showed a look of pain on his face.
"Then I will have a good chat with you today." Ling Qingwan sneered. Especially now, she couldn't bear to see Yun Gui's innocent look, as if she had bullied Yun Gui.
"You helped Ling Chuchu to target me and frame me time and again, but I endured it all, thinking that you were blinded by Ling Chuchu. Then why did you come to Tingxue Villa? Do you dare to say that you didn't deliberately use An Yi to come in because you saw that she was innocent? And you saved me last night, don't you really know that there may be innocent people in this house? If I leave, they will be angered by the Northern Zhou people?"
"Yun Gui, I have no grudge against you. I don't understand why you keep pestering me." Ling Qingwan stared at Yun Gui, her eyes full of disappointment and indifference.
"I'm asking you to leave for the last time, okay?" Ling Qingwan said sincerely.
She was almost begging Yun to return.
Having said that, if Yun Gui doesn't leave, it will really cause trouble for Ling Qingwan.
"Take care. I'm sorry."
Then, Yun Gui turned around and walked out of the house.
Without the noisy sounds in her ears, Ling Qingwan calmed down a little and had the energy to say a few words to the couple.
"I'm sorry, big brother, big sister." Ling Qingwan choked up. "I betrayed the trust of both of you."
"Don't worry, I will raise your child well. In the future, he will be my, Ling Qingwan's biological brother." Ling Qingwan solemnly promised the two corpses.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and the door was kicked open from the outside.
The Northern Zhou people from yesterday appeared again and blocked the door tightly.
Ling Qingwan stood up, quickly hugged the child, and covered his eyes with her hands.
"I didn't expect that Miss Ling is such a sentimental person. She has developed such a deep affection for this family after only knowing them for one day." The leading man laughed, his words full of sarcasm.
"You don't have to pretend in front of me." Ling Qingwan snorted coldly.
These people were the murderers who killed her elder brother and elder sister. Ling Qingwan wished she could chop them into pieces.
The leading man retracted his smile, turned sideways, and motioned to his followers behind him.
Several people nodded, then drew their swords and surrounded Ling Qingwan.
These Northern Zhou people had seen Ling Qingwan's abilities. It had to be said that for a woman who had never been on a battlefield, it was quite remarkable that Ling Qingwan had such courage.
"You can't escape this time." The leading man stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ling Qingwan triumphantly.
It was as if telling Ling Qingwan that she was doomed to lose.
"That may not be the case." Ling Qingwan's lips curled slightly.
"Do you really think that after the first time, I can let you escape again?" The leading man sneered, thinking he heard a funny joke.
"I won't leave this time." Ling Qingwan said calmly. "I want to see you die without a burial place."
Ling Qingwan spoke slowly and calmly, but when these words came out of her mouth, there was an inexplicable firmness in them, which made the people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty around her feel uneasy.
"Catch her!" the leading man ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew in from outside and pierced directly into the neck of the leading man.
He, who had just been giving orders from a high position, suddenly cried out in pain.
When several attendants saw the leading man being killed under their noses, they were immediately frightened and confused for a moment.
The leading man yelled and pulled the sword from his neck.
Then, several more arrows shot in and all pierced the leading man.
"You don't have the ability to capture General Shen's grandson."
It’s Song Tian’s voice!
Ling Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why she was so confident just now was because she saw with her own eyes last night that the farmer successfully sent out the signal smoke. Even if Shen Chengzhou's people were slow, they should have arrived by now.
She was gambling, and luckily she won.
The following result was no surprise, as all the Northern Zhou people were wiped out by Song Tian's men.
"I'm sorry for being late, please forgive me, Miss Sun!" Song Tian clasped his hands together and apologized to Ling Qingwan.
He and Shen Chengzhou fought against the enemy together for several years, and he developed a meticulous character. Admitting mistakes is Song Tian's style.
"It's okay." Ling Qingwan forced a smile.
It was she who wanted to come to the villa, and no one expected that she would be held hostage by the Northern Zhou people. Ling Qingwan did not blame anyone.
She blames herself.
I blame myself for not being able to protect the couple, allowing them to die tragically because of my negligence.
"Miss, this child..."
Song Tian looked at Ling Qingwan holding a child in her arms and felt a little confused.
"I'll hold you first." Ling Qingwan was now exhausted and just wanted to have a good rest. She had no time to explain to Song Tian.
"Then I'll take you to town." Song Tian said to Ling Qingwan.
