Madam Du was seriously injured and was lying on a carved mahogany wooden bed. His entire body was wrapped in bandages, like a pack of glutinous rice. His face was speckled with green and purple bruises, and his lips were extremely pale. His eyelids trembled as he began to open his eyes slowly. He looked at the familiar green bed canopy and felt like he was dreaming.
“Mother, you're awake!” a familiar voice sounded which made him flinch. Slowly, he turned his head and came face to face with Murong Jian's handsome face. Tears of happiness formed, “Jian, you are finally back!”
Murong Jian nodded and replied, “Your son has come home and will never leave again. Mother, how could you be so badly injured?”
By the time Chou arrived, I was already unconscious. The manor servants muttered to themselves, he had no idea what they were whispering.
“That's because of Murong Xue, that disgusting girl. He has defeated me!”
Thinking of how she was being mercilessly kicked by Murong Xue, Madam Du gritted her teeth out of hatred. He then exaggerated the story of how it happened. Finally, when he finished, he shouted furiously, “Quick, order your bodyguards to drag him here and punish him with violence to avenge me!”
In Murong Jian's mind, Murong Xue's beautiful and serene face was visible. He squinted his eyes, “Murong Xue is very intelligent. If he dared to beat you up like that, he would have already prepared himself to face the consequences. If I order my bodyguard to leave now, not only can we not punish him, we might also face a huge loss.”
The step-grandmother hires an assassin to kill her step-granddaughter, her step-granddaughter's patience runs out and beats up her step-grandmother. If this news reaches the public, I will be blamed and hated. Even if Murong Xue's actions were to be scorned, most people would pity her and look at her actions with understanding…..
“Then what should we do? We can't just let it go!” Madam Du's eyes were filled with hatred.
“Of course not.” Murong Jian replied, his expression is cruel, “Your son has returned to Jing City, I have many opportunities to punish Murong Xue, we do not need to rush.
"Mastering!" Cai Jin called out softly towards Murong Jian outside the door.
Murong Jian replied, “How is it?”
“Your plan has been known by Miss Murong, 6 crates of the book were not placed in the study room.....” whispered Cai Jin, a quick glance towards Murong Jian.
Murong Jian's eyes narrowed, Murong Xue is not an easy person to deal with!
The act of placing the crate of books into the study room is just a small test. His success meant paving the way for him to obtain the position of Marquis. But it's okay if it doesn't work. He had already returned, he had the time and stamina to deal with Murong Ye.
“Murong Xue, that horrible girl, is the cause of our downfall. He has caused your sister to be sent to prison, beat me up and even prevented you from getting the position of heir to this palace. He is truly terrible, if we do not get rid of him completely, my hatred for him will never diminish.
Madam Du was so angry that she accidentally made her wound tense. It was so agonizing that he breathed a cold air of relief. He hated Murong Xue from the bottom of his heart.
Murong Jian carefully moved his back to a more comfortable position and spoke softly, “Mother, mother is seriously injured, please rest well. I will handle Murong Xue and Murong Ye.”
Madam Du's eyes twinkled and she looked towards Murong Jian, “You've thought of a plan to deal with him?”
"Yes." Yeah." Murong Jian nodded, his eyes cold with hatred.
When daylight arrived, Murong Xue woke up to prepare herself. After a simple breakfast, he quickly walked out of his residence and followed the emerald path towards the entrance of the palace.
Outside the palace, there were 5 horses, Murong Jian, Murong Ji, Murong Ye, Ge Hui and Cai Jin. They each had control of their own horses.
The first person Murong Xue saw was Ge Hui. Because he often went to the desert, he covered part of his face with a piece of cloth. He exuded a ferocious and hostile aura that made people look at him with fear:
“Uncle Hui!”
Murong Jian looked towards Murong Xue, he squinted his eyes, his eyes showing shades of unknown emotions…..
“Kakak, why did you wake up so early?” Murong Ye was surprised.
In his memories, he knew that Murong Xue was extremely afraid of the cold. If the sun did not rise, he would never get out of bed.
“I'm here to send you to army camp!” Murong Xue smiled.
Murong Jian had always craved the position of heir to the palace, and he would try to kill Murong Ye at any time. Today, Murong Jian and Murong Ji were with Murong Ye, even though Ge Hui accompanied them, he still did not feel safe enough.
Murong Ye looked towards Murong Xue, lightly raising his eyebrows, “Now it is still very early in the morning and very cold. Your body is weak, if you come with us, your attack will happen again.
Murong Xue ignored him and said, “Don't worry, I am not a spoiled child....”.
“If you two want to show your brother care for each other, find the right time. Army camps have their own rules, women are not allowed in. If you dare to set foot there, they will immediately kick you out!” Murong Ji raised his eyebrows towards Murong Xue, challenging and mocking her.
Murong Xue glared at him.
“I have absolutely no plans to enter the army camp. I just want to send my brother to his gate, then I'll be back.”
His mockery rang out in Murong Ji's ears and his face flushed red with embarrassment. His eyes swept from side to side. Outraged, he replied, “Travel to far camp, our horse cannot be ridden by more than two people, can you ride a horse?”
“As a member of the Murong family, how could I not know how to ride a horse? I even prepared my own horse.” Murong Xue said casually.
Inside the palace, there was a servant holding a chestnut horse walking towards them. The horse has bright eyes. One look at it, one will know that it is a good horse.
Murong Xue took control of her servant and lifted herself up on the horse. His actions were so subtle that it shocked everyone.
“It's late, let's go!” Murong Xue smiled and with a gentle movement, his horse sped forward like an arrow.
“Wait for me, sister!” murong Ye exclaimed happily. He quickly climbed up his horse and sped forward to chase after him.
Ge Hui also weighed down his horse and sped towards them.
Looking at the 3 silhouettes that disappeared quickly, Cai Jin squinted, “Master, what should we do?”
Murong Jian was silent for a moment. Then he spoke in a low tone, “Stay on the plan!”
Murong Xue was only intelligent but she did not have any martial arts skills. He will not be ready to face physical attacks. He had been thinking about this plan all night, he couldn't cancel it just because Murong Xue was here.
"Yes sir!" Cai Jin nodded seriously.
They all boarded his horse and started towards Murong Xue, Murong Ye and Ge Hui.
The sky began to clear as 6 horses were seen galloping in the deserted city streets. The evil plan begins to unfold…
