Chapter 98: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

ry light and finely crafted.Jin Mu looked over in astonishment, then suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness is planning to go yourself""The secrets of the Tianji Pavilion a...Qin Luoyan's eyes swept coldly across the crowd of people in chaos, let out a cold laugh, then slipped away unnoticed while everyone was flustered.

No one noticed her leaving. Everyone in the Nangong family was focused on protecting Nangong Qi, and the servants in the courtyard had their minds on Master Wu. Therefore, Qin Luo'yan's departure was easier than she had imagined.

“He’s just a dead pervert. How much is it worth even if I kill him” Nangong Qi stepped on Wu Gongzi’s back with one foot, then stomped down hard. Wu Gongzi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Young Master Wu was already gasping for breath, barely able to speak. The attendant beside him almost fainted from fright, "Young Master! Please stop! This is the only son of the Wu family, if anything happens to him, we'll all be finished! If we anger the one in the palace..."

"Who in the palace" Nangong Ting, the eldest son of the Nangong family, was startled. His brows furrowed, and he grabbed the official's collar and asked, "What do you mean Spit it out clearly!"

The Nanguang family was incredibly wealthy, but even with their riches, they were still dwarfed by the power within the palace. Having been touched by the royal court, the Nanguang family would undoubtedly find it difficult to escape its influence.

“Didn’t the Wu family just produce a favored concubine Noble Consort Wu, Concubine Wu! This Young Master Wu is her maternal younger brother, the only seedling in the Wu family! So you young masters, please go easy on him, or I’ll be done for.” The steward stammered and clung to Nangong Qi’s leg.

Nangong Qi heard his words and kicked him away with one foot, "Get out! Since his identity is so special, why didn't you say it just now What, do you want to frame my Nangong family"

The manager fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood. He was wronged too! He would have had a chance to explain if they had just given him a moment. The few of you just started attacking without even listening to his side of the story.

Nangong Ting persuaded Nangong Qi and Nangong Yan to stop, and the two finally put their hands down. Looking at Wu Gongzi lying on the ground, his face was pale to the extreme.

"Go find a doctor at once!" At this critical moment, Nangong Ting was still the most decisive one. He ordered his subordinates to find a doctor and had two guards carry Young Master Wu up.

Two guards immediately bent down to lift the man, but as they lifted him up, they saw that Master Wu's body was limp and seemed to have lost all consciousness.

Nan Gong Ting's heart skipped a beat. His face turned ashen as he walked over, reaching out to probe Wu Gongzi's breath. He immediately recoiled in horror, "Dead."

If it were someone else, this person would be dead by now. They've killed people before, after all. It's nothing more than paying some silver and settling the matter. As long as you're generous enough, no one dares to say anything. But this Wu family's only child...

“Big brother, what should we do If they really are from the Wu family, haven’t we made a huge mistake” Nan Gong Qi didn’t dare to be careless at this time. He cursed in annoyance, “It’s all that damn little brat’s fault! Wait a minute, where did that little brat go”

Only then did they realize that Qin Luo'yan was already gone from the courtyard. At this point, even the most foolish person could see something was amiss. They, perhaps, had become a tool in someone else's hands, a knife used to kill!

"Damn it, I must kill that bastard!" Nangong kicked over the guard beside him in anger. The guard clutched his knee and dared not speak.

"What use is it to talk about this now What are we going to do about the problem in front of us This young Master Wu is dead…" Nan Gongyan was also worried, and could only look to his eldest brother, Nan Gongting, his most trusted confidante.

Nan Gongting paced restlessly in the courtyard, a troubled look on his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "The only way out now is to spread rumors about Master Wu's deviant habit of '斷袖'. If he died in this kind of place, for the sake of the Empress Dowager's reputation, the Wu family would definitely not dare to make a fuss."

Nangong Qi and Nangong Yan listened, suddenly feeling that this idea was good. After a few people discussed it, they immediately found someone to do it.

In less than a day, the streets and alleys of Fengqi City were abuzz with news: Wu Gongzi, the only son of the Wu family on Dong Street, was a danzhu (male lover) and exceptionally skilled at it. This time, he had even died in the arms of a male courtesan.

The person delivering the message was well-sourced and had even brought out a former attendant of Master Wu to testify. This attendant claimed that he had been abused in countless ways by Master Wu and that Heaven had punished him, causing his death during an act of indulgence.

Perhaps because there was too much evidence and multiple verifications, this news actually gained the recognition of most people in Fengqicheng. Almost everyone said that it would be better if such a monster died.

When this message reached Qin Luoyan from Li Long, Qin Luoyan smiled.

As dusk fell, the sky was ablaze with hues of sunset. She brewed a pot of tea and sat in the courtyard. After Li Long finished delivering the news, he knelt before her. "Miss Qin avenged my father, she is my Li Long's great benefactor. As long as Miss Qin utters a word, I, Li Long, am willing to die for you without hesitation."

Qin Luoyan heard him say this, her gaze finally retracted from the distant horizon. Her face remained calm and serene, she only raised her hand faintly, "What about your mother and younger brother if you die Get up. I didn't do this just for them, but to ease my own mind. However, you have offended the Wu family, so being a carpenter is probably out of the question. As a man, you still need to provide for your family. If you're willing, come work as a bodyguard for me"

After observing him, she found that Li Long was a promising material, at least he was quick-witted when facing problems, which could save a lot of trouble.

Li Long was stunned, raising his head to look at her blankly.

Qin Luo said, "Of course, you'll be paid. You and Er Ya will earn the same wages from now on. Your monthly salary should be enough to support your family. When you find someone you like, I can also give you a dowry so you can marry a good wife."

"I, Li Long, agree!" Li Long kowtowed heavily. "It's just that I can't read. This contract of sale needs to be written by the young lady. When it's finished, I will press my handprint!"

Qin Luoyan smiled and shook her head, "You don't need to sell yourself into servitude. You are still you, not my slave, just a worker I hired."

A slave She wouldn't even willingly give herself to that man, so how could she ask others to become her slaves Even if the world's views differed from hers, she still stubbornly held onto her true self.

"No indentured servitude, and still pay" Li Longwu, a man five feet tall, had tears welling in his eyes at that moment. He bowed again, and growled in a low voice, "I, Li Long, swear to heaven, for my entire life, I will never betray you!"

"Promises... Qin Luoyan listened, merely giving a faint smile and saying nothing."
