Wu Sheyue looked up at the door and sneered, "It's really thoughtful to prepare it so far away. What good things have you prepared inside?"
"Miss Ning'er is waiting for you." There was a hint of panic in the maid's calm eyes.
"Ignoring whether Ning'er is here or not, are there other gifts inside?" Wu Sheyue raised the corners of her lips.
"..." This time the maid didn't say anything, she just stood aside respectfully waiting for Wu Sheyue to enter.
But Wu Sheyue began to pace back and forth at the gate, leisurely looking at the surrounding scenery and buildings.
"Tell me who you are."
"The third lady is joking, this servant is from the prime minister's house." The maid looked impatient and anxious. This man kept nagging and refused to come in.
Wu Sheyue shook her head, "Then let me ask another question, who in this Prime Minister's Mansion are you from, Wu Liuyun? Or Wu Ziqi? I will give you one last chance. It will be good for you to speak honestly."
The maid frowned slightly, "I don't understand what the third lady means—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Sheyue suddenly took a step forward and put the carving knife in her hand directly against the opponent's neck.
The maid's eyes widened in shock. She didn't realize what was being pressed around her neck at first. But Wu Sheyue exerted a little force on her hand, and the sharp blade immediately pressed a blood spot on her neck.
The sting finally reminded the maid that Wu Sheyue was a tough guy.
Her mask of indifference and calmness finally faded away completely, and she shouted in panic: "Don't, don't do anything, Miss Third! This slave is just a guide..."
Wu Sheyue asked her viciously: "Who asked you to lead the way?"
"It's Miss Ning'er..."
"How could Ning'er be in the east if she doesn't go back to the west courtyard? To be honest." Wu Sheyue pushed the knife hard again, "There is no one else here. I just buried you here and no one knows."
More blood flowed down her neck directly into her collar, and the maid could even feel the blood sliding on her skin. How could this happen... How could the third lady be so cruel! Even the eldest lady has never threatened people directly with a knife...
Seeing that she was silent, Wu Sheyue suddenly felt that given the urinary temperament of these people, she might as well be more direct and kill the messenger before going to see Ning'er.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will go in, but I have to bury you at the door first, and then step on your grave to go in!"
Seeing that Wu Sheyue was really going to kill her, she immediately shouted in fear, "No, I said! I said!"
Wu Sheyue frowned and stopped. Compared to this person's life, who was behind the scenes was more important.
The maid was so frightened that there were scars on her neck. She raised her head and said carefully: "It is true that someone instigated me..."
"..." Wu Sheyue looked coldly, waiting for her to continue.
The maid looked sideways and saw Wu Sheyue's terrifying expression. She swallowed her saliva and said consciously: "But, he only told me to use Ning'er as an excuse to bring you here. What else do I really want?" Do not know at all!"
"Very good." Wu Sheyue smiled. It was no different from her not saying anything. The carving knife in her hand was pushed in again, and with a pop, the small tip of the knife was almost completely buried in the maid's neck.
Although the blade of the carving knife was too short, it would not be fatal if it was fully inserted, but as long as Wu Sheyue made another forceful stroke, it would be enough to slit her throat.
"No, don't!" The maid was completely frightened. She cried in a broken voice: "Miss Third, please do it. Both of my parents are disabled. I really need this money! Please Got it!"
Wu Sheyue said impatiently: "What does your parents' misfortune have to do with me! Tell me who it is, my patience is limited. If you don't act honestly, I will send your white-haired parents to black-haired ones."
"I said it, I said it! Don't kill me—"
Wu Sheyue was extremely agitated. Do her fellow killer brothers have so much trouble killing people
"Actually, it's this -" the maid said hesitantly, but her body suddenly exploded. She suddenly waved her arms vigorously and threw her head back with all her strength.
Wu Sheyue quickly drew the knife with quick eyes and hands, but the carving knife twisted around the maid's neck and poked a deep wound, but it failed to hurt the vital part.
When the maid waved her arms and leaned back, a handful of light yellow powder floated out from her sleeves. Wu Sheyue's heart tightened and she quickly stepped back to avoid it, but she was still confused.
What the hell is this? She immediately held her breath and waved her sleeves to disperse the smoke.
But it was useless... Wu Sheyue immediately felt that her limbs were weak and her mind was swollen, and everything in front of her eyes turned into a ghost. It seems that if this smoke touches the skin, it will cause infection. Wu Sheyue cursed secretly in her heart. If she had known it earlier, she should have killed her before talking about it. Why did she ask about the background...
After falling to the ground, the maid ignored the pain and blood on her neck and immediately got up in a panic. She looked at Wu Sheyue with fear on her face, even though Wu Sheyue was holding her forehead, her eyes unfocused. However, she still held a bloody carving knife in her other hand, which made people afraid to come forward casually.
Wu Sheyue shook her head and saw only a blurry figure in front of her. If someone were to kill her right now, she would be doomed! With this thought in mind, she cautiously took a step back and stretched her hand to her waist again to hold something.
The maid was very scared, but after thinking about what the man said and seeing that Wu Sheyue was already dizzy, she gritted her teeth and rushed over.
Wu Sheyue couldn't see clearly and was knocked into the ground without any dodge. Because she had just taken a step back, and behind her was the gate of the courtyard.
Wu Sheyue bumped into the door with an ouch, and the door suddenly opened. They all fell into the courtyard.
Wu Sheyue was already dizzy and weak. After being thrown down like this, she couldn't see anything in front of her eyes and her back was in great pain. The maid seemed to have upset her stomach just now, and she felt her chest churning, almost vomiting out everything she had just eaten.
The maid's neck was bleeding even more. She got up in panic, glanced at Wu Sheyue, and quickly ran out of the yard without stopping.
"Damn..." Although Wu Sheyue couldn't see it, she heard it. Just run away, why did you even close the door
—
The maid was covered in cold sweat, and she locked the door from the outside while panting. Then she leaned against the door and fell to the ground. Finally, it was finally over... She was trembling with fear. She was almost killed just now!
The blood on her neck was still flowing, and it was even more painful from the cold sweat. Because she couldn't see what the wound looked like, the maid just thought it was a very fatal wound, so she covered her neck hard to stop the bleeding, almost strangling herself to death.
She listened carefully and saw that there was no movement inside the door. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the medicine was too powerful and had knocked the person down.
Of course, everything she said during the critical moment of life and death was true, but she just missed one sentence -
If Wu Sheyue could not be allowed to enter this yard, not only would she not be able to get the money, but she would also not be able to see her parents in the future.
Fortunately, although it was a little difficult, I succeeded in the end!
The maid panted for a moment and said silently in her heart: "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. I don't care whether you are okay or not." After saying that, she stood up with difficulty and left here still holding her neck.
—
Wu Sheyue held her stomach and calmed down for a long time. When the nausea gradually dissipated, she sat up from the ground. She was now facing away from the gate and facing inside, and she could probably see the outline of the courtyard clearly in front of her eyes.
She was trying hard to move her hands, but her body was weak and she still couldn't get up. At this moment, I suddenly heard an extremely subtle noise in front of me. Wu Sheyue stopped turning over immediately, and the hair on her back stood up.
People are most frightened when facing the unknown. She instantly pulled out the gun from her waist, clasped her hands and pointed in the direction of the source of the sound and shouted: "Who!"
Her whole body was tense, almost raising her senses to the highest intensity ever.
But there was silence and nothing happened.
Then Wu Sheyue suddenly realized, what's the use of scaring people with a gun? Ancient people didn't recognize this thing.
It happened that there was movement again in the place she was pointing at, and Wu Sheyue pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom-
A huge sound was amplified several times in the quiet environment. The maid who had not gone far was startled by the loud noise. She turned around and looked in the direction of the yard in shock, her whole body shaking with fear.
Wu Sheyue bit her lower lip hard. From the sound just now, the bullet should have hit wood. Maybe it was the beams or window frames, but no one was hit.
But she didn't expect that she could still be like a marksman when she was half-blind, as long as this thing could achieve a deterrent effect. She swung the gun back and forth, aimed it into nothingness, and warned sternly: "Don't blame me for headshotting you if you come here again!"
Silence returned to the surroundings, but there was still no response.
This time she held the gun up for a long time, and she didn't put it down until her arms were sore. She had some doubts and worries in her heart. Is there really nothing this time
Occasionally, the wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound in the distance. Wu Sheyue even suspected that the two movements just now were just the wind.
Over at Yun Shuyuan, Wu Sheyue walked for a while, and Wu Lixiang finally couldn't hold on any longer.
She thought to herself that the wine she drank today was really good, but it was also really enjoyable. She pulled the maid to her feet unsteadily and said, "I, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'm going to leave first." (To be continued)
