~ DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME? ~
At this moment, the handsome face of Yue Wang slightly paled, his clear and cold eyes closed. The cold aura around him was no longer there. On the contrary, it gave off a feeling that he was a little weak.
“I can’t believe that when I saw you before, you were still as cold and chilly as a blade’s edge. But now, you’re showing such a weak expression?”
Yue Wang seems to have fallen into a dream. The more he frowns, the tighter his brow is, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, making him so restless.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly bent over and approached him, “Fourth Master Ning? Fourth Master?” Yue Wang suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Mu Yunyao’s neck, pressing her down onto the bed. Those eyes were cold and empty, without the slightest emotion as he coldly stared at Mu Yunyao. Boundless killing intent surged out like a mountain, as if the next moment, he would put the person in his hand to death.
Mu Yunyao’s face flushed red. She tried to break Yue Wang’s arm but discovered that his hand was as hard as steel, and it was impossible to move it by relying on her strength. “ Fourth Master ... cough cough … Ning Junyue!”
Yue Wang suddenly recovered his senses, and the killing intent in his body retreated like a flood. He raised his hand fiercely and released Mu Yunyao.
“Cough cough …” The choking made Mu Yunyao’s vision darken as she covered her chest and coughed. Her body was so soft that she didn’t have the slightest bit of strength to move it.
Yue Wang hurriedly reached out his hands to help her up: “Yunyao, how are you?”
Mu Yunyao gasped for breath before gradually calming down, “If you want to kill me, then merely give me instructions. Why do you have to do it yourself?”
“Why would I want to kill you? Just now, I…, I don’t know what’s going on either...” Yue Wang was at a loss for what to do, and when he looked carefully at Mu Yunyao, he noticed that a purplish-blue handprint had left on her neck, which was particularly shocking on her white skin.
Mu Yunyao came back to her senses. She discovered that she was actually half-leaning against Yue Wang’s chest. She hurriedly struggled to get up, but after standing up, she found that her legs had gone soft, so she fell back again.
“Are you alright?” Yue Wang reached out and grabbed her arm, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across her wrist. His eyebrows suddenly tightened, “Why is there a purple mark on your wrist too?”
Mu Yunyao was upset. Just now, the ice-cold killing intent from Yue Wang made her suddenly recall her previous life, and the dense shadow made her feel as if she was drowning in a cold pond. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape. Her voice is a bit worse when she replied: “Don’t you think those purple marks are familiar?”
Yue Wang looked at her carefully, his fingers carefully wrapping around her wrist: “Was it me who pinched it?”
Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at Yue Wang, hatred flashing through her eyes. “It’s not enough to kill me once, but you still want to kill me a second time?”
“Yunyao ….” Yue Wang’s susceptible senses caught sight of that trace of hatred and felt a terrible pain in his heart.
“Yunyao ….” Yue Wang’s susceptible senses caught sight of that trace of hatred and felt a terrible pain in his heart.
Mu Yunyao suddenly regained her senses and hurriedly calmed herself down. She stood up and tidied up her sleeves and skirt, “Just now, Fourth Master must have had a nightmare. Now that you have woken up, and nothing serious has happened. Steward Qin has gone down to cook medicine. You can have a rest after taking medicine.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
“I know. Fourth Master, you don’t need to worry about it. You’ve already woken up, so I don’t need to stay any longer. Goodbye.”
“Wait a minute,” Yue Wang stood up and stood in front of Mu Yunyao. His gaze swept across the wounds on her wrist and neck, and he couldn’t help but tremble. “I …”
He felt that he should say something, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he didn’t know how to explain them. Especially the hatred that flashed across Mu Yunyao’s eyes, and it made him feel stuck in his throat. Was it because of the forced questioning, or was it because of something else?
“Fourth Master, I was scared just now, so please forgive me for my harsh word.” Mu Yunyao bent down to pay her respects. Just as she was about to turn around and walk out, she saw blood dripping onto the ground. “Your wound?”
Only then did Yue Wang feel a heart-wrenching pain from his back. He quickly shook his body, and his face became even paler: “It must have torn apart …”
Mu Yunyao wanted to turn around and leave, but when she saw Yue Wang’s appearance, she even found it hard to take a step. “Fourth Master, sit properly to the side. I’ll take a look for you.”
Yue Wang hurriedly nodded his head: “Alright.” After opening the gauze behind her, Mu Yunyao took a breath. The wound was really split open, and its edges were slightly red and swollen, making it look even more severe than before. She quickly cleaned up the injury, and she once again bandaged it with medicine: “Fourth Master needs to be extra careful, don’t make any dangerous movements that might affect your wound.”
Yue Wang, however, did not mind at all. After Mu Yunyao had helped bandage his wound, he turned his head towards her with a slightly perturbed look. “I really didn’t do it on purpose just now.” He would rather injure himself than to hurt Mu Yunyao by even a little. Why would he hurt her so viciously?
Mu Yunyao bit the tip of her tongue lightly. The pain had calmed her down completely: “Fourth Master’s eyes were empty just now, and his aura was chaotic. It’s obvious that he hasn’t fully awakened. I didn’t take this matter to heart, so you don’t have to mind, Fourth Master.”
Seeing her expression, Yue Wang was disappointed, but he also knew that he could not force her. “While I was in a trance earlier, I thought I heard you call me Ning Junyue?”
Mu Yunyao’s fingertips trembled, “No, how could I dare to call Fourth Master’s name directly? You must have misheard me while you were daydreaming!”
A hint of laughter flashed past Yue Wang’s eyes. “Hmm, that’s also highly possible …”
“Fourth Master, you have a good rest. I’ll take my leave first.”
After Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin walked in with the medicine bowl. When he saw Yue Wang awake, he was happy. “Wang Ye, you’re finally awake? No matter what I do, I couldn’t wake you up just now. This old servant is worried sick about you.”
“I’ve made Uncle Qin worry.” Yue Wang thought about the hatred that Mu Yunyao had when she looked at him. He seemed to be somewhat absent-minded. “Uncle Qin, I asked you to send someone to investigate Mu Yunyao’s identity again. Did you find anything suspicious?” Steward Qin shook his head. “Miss Mu’s identity is pure and simple, and there are no abnormalities about it. It’s also understandable that her temperament changed a lot after her father passed away. Many people’s personalities would shift more or less due to the excessive stimulation of their loved ones’ deaths. However, the cause of death of Miss Mu’s father is somewhat strange...”
“Didn’t her father fall into the river and drown when he was drunk while he went to the Capital to earn for a living?”
“The cause of death from the government investigation was due to this, but Miss Mu’s father never drank alcohol while he was alive. Moreover, he was skilled in martial arts and often wandered around when he was young. Some say that he was skilled in swimming and would often fishing in the river during the summer to supplement his family.”
Yue Wang’s expression turned serious: “That means, could it be that he was killed secretly by someone?”
“There is indeed such a possibility, and there is another strange thing. Someone adopted Miss Mu’s mother when she still young. Her adoptive parents seem like ordinary family members. But in reality, they are distant relatives of the old housekeeper of the Su family’s residence and had inextricably linked to the Su family in the capital.”
“The Su family?” Yue Yang suddenly remembered that Mu Yunyao had used the screen to trap the Su Family, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
You have a lot of making up to do, Yue Wang.
