Chapter 35
Cui Hengyue didn't have time to think too much, so she raised the fire stick to block Li Bier's scissors.
However, the scissors are sharp, and after piercing the fire stick, they still continue to stab forward with great power.
Cui Hengyue immediately stretched out his left hand, held the other end of the fire stick, and used both hands to rotate the fire stick.
After blocking the scissors' advance, Cui Hengyue pushed forward hard, then let go of his hands and rolled to the side.
"Hey! Is the blood of a mere aristocratic family worthy of being called noble? I am a phoenix!"
Li Bi'er, who had chopped off the fire stick and was preparing to continue killing with scissors, was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
"Phoenix?" Li Bi'er couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, a little girl who was reduced to a temple actually wants to fly on a branch and become a phoenix? She is really young and ignorant..."
Li Bier suddenly paused, and she realized something: "Oh, I forgot that the current emperor is the grandson of your Cui family. After all, the emperor should call you cousin.
"You are of the same age. If you form a good relationship and give birth to a crown prince in the future, your Cui family will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the first family. This kind of thing is indeed what Cui Quan, an old man, would do.
"No wonder you have such thoughts."
Cui Hengyue: "..."
Where is this?
"I'm not……"
Before Cui Hengyue could explain, Li Bier's face turned cold: "The Cui family has many daughters, and such a good thing will never happen to your abandoned daughter.
"You'd better stop daydreaming and go to the underworld to reunite with your mother-in-law."
As he spoke, the scissors stabbed Cui Hengyue again.
It turns out that craving for food can kill you!
She shouldn't put herself in danger just for a bite to eat...
Cui Hengyue, who was full of regret, kept rolling her body to avoid the scissors.
When there was no way to avoid it, Cui Hengyue endured the pain and jumped up, confronting Li Bier head-on.
"I advise you to stop. If Lin Yin returns after not seeing us for so long, he will definitely come to check it out in person. You will be dead by then."
After knowing that he could not escape, Cui Hengyue took a verbal offensive while resisting.
Li Bier snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I will definitely kill you before Lin Yin comes."
"Even if you kill me and I die in your room, you can't explain it clearly. You will still have to pay for your life at that time. Why...ah..."
Cui Hengyue couldn't dodge, and was cut with scissors on her back. She raised her foot and kicked Li Bi'er away.
"You lived in the South Palace for several years, didn't you just want to take revenge on the Cui family? Wouldn't you feel it would be a pity if you involved yourself in it just to kill me, a person who was abandoned by the Cui family?"
Faced with Cui Hengyue's explanation, Li Bi'er remained unmoved: "I know what you want to say, and I know you are stalling for time, but I tell you, you are dead today."
After the words fell, Li Bier no longer answered Cui Hengyue's words, and her moves became more vicious.
Cui Hengyue secretly thought that something was wrong and did not dare to be distracted anymore, focusing on dealing with Li Bier, but she still held on to the hope that Lin Yin would find clues and come to save her.
Lin Yin, who had placed great hopes on Cui Hengyue, was sitting on a chair, looking at the people in the yard boredly.
Runzhu finally cleaned up the mess and was about to go find Cui Hengyue, but was caught by Zhang Wulang again.
"Wait a minute, these flowers have been crushed by you and cannot be used. You have to help me pick some more."
Runzhu was about to refuse, but then he thought that he could take this opportunity to find Cui Hengyue, so he readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away."
However, Zhang Wulang did not let go of Runzhu, but dragged Runzhu towards the cliff: "You don't know what to choose, I will go with you."
"..."
Cui Hengyue didn't come back for such a long time. Runzhu had a vague feeling about it. He stopped and shook off Zhang Wulang's hand: "I'm not going."
With that said, he ran towards the south courtyard.
"Want to leave? Don't even look where this is."
Zhang Wulang turned around and chased him, shouting: "Where is my brother?"
Upon hearing Zhang Wulang's shouts, five or six strong men immediately put down their work and rushed towards Runzhu.
The people working in the yard raised their heads and looked over.
After being surrounded, Runzhu was unwilling to give in. As he broke out of the siege, he shouted to Lin Yin: "Guard Lin, they are besieging me, don't you care?"
Lin Yin sat still and looked at him calmly: "Except for murder, we don't care about your personal grudges."
"..."
What's breaking the rules?
Runzhu shouted again: "Guard Lin, they want to kill me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wulang hurriedly explained: "Guard Lin, don't listen to his nonsense.
"You saw it just now. This kid crushed my things. I just asked my brothers to find justice for me. We didn't want to kill him."
"Yeah!" Lin Yin responded softly and then fell silent.
How could these people kill people in front of him if they were afraid of death?
In desperation, Runzhu had no choice but to say: "Guard Lin, Miss Cui hasn't come back for so long. Is there something wrong? Why don't you go and see?"
Lin Yin's expression changed.
Zhang Wulang added: "It's troublesome for women to change clothes, so why does it take so little time?"
Although Zhang Wulang tried to fool him, Lin Yin still ordered the guards around him to go to the south courtyard to take a look.
The guard ran all the way into the south courtyard and saw his companion standing outside Li Bier's room from a distance, so he hurried back to report.
"Boss, our people are watching outside Madam Li's room. Everything is normal."
Lin Yin nodded, and felt that although Li Bi'er usually didn't like to talk and seemed to be aloof from people thousands of miles away, she was not a fool.
If Cui Hengyue died in Li Bier's room, Li Bier would be the murderer and would not be able to escape death.
Besides, Li Bier cherishes her life and will not seek death.
Thinking of this, Lin Yin was completely relieved.
Runzhu saw the guards leaving and returning, but Lin Yin didn't make any move. He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he had guessed wrong and that Miss Cui was not in danger?
At this time, Cui Hengyue just wanted to curse.
"Are you sick? You...have a grudge against that old man Cui Quan...why are you killing me...?"
Cui Hengyue was panting and dodging the killing move, her movements getting slower and slower.
When Cui Quan was mentioned, Li Bier finally stopped being silent: "Cui Quan killed my whole family, and I will kill his whole family too."
"..."
It seems that this is a piece of hob meat.
Cui Hengyue stopped talking and was thinking about ways to escape while facing the enemy.
The window was bolted. If she wanted to escape through the window, she had to break it out, otherwise she would be caught by Li Bier, but she was not sure if there was anyone with Li Bier outside the window.
If Li Bier's people were hiding outside the window and stabbed her when she jumped out, she would never be able to go back.
The door was not bolted, just closed, but there must be someone from Li Bier outside the door, otherwise the guards would have come in long ago.
While Cui Hengyue was hesitating, Li Bier had already pounced on her and inserted the scissors into her shoulder.
"ah--"
The screams coming from the room made Su Biwen outside the door feel relaxed and happy. He looked out and saw that no guards were attracted, and then he pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on in the room.
"ah--"
The screams started again.
The scissors were inserted into the shoulder, and Li Bier kept stirring her. The pain made Cui Hengyue sweat.
No, she couldn't wait until Lin Yin came.
Cui Hengyue gritted her teeth and suddenly hugged Li Bier and started to fight.
