The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 242 Assassination in the middle of the night
Cui Hengyue didn't know how she got back to Jinglanyuan.

"Miss Wen, what's wrong with Yuan Niang? It seems that something is wrong when she comes out of the pavilion."

Shui Rong stood at the door, looking at Cui Hengyue who was sitting in a daze on the chair, with a worried expression on her face.

Mrs. Wen thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Maybe Erniang said something that made her unhappy..."

Suddenly, Cui Hengyue raised her head and shouted, "Shui Fu—"

Shui Rong quickly responded: "Yuan Niang, Shui Fu has not come back after leaving the house."

By the way, she sent Shui Fu to go shopping.

Cui Hengyue rested her chin on her hand, and started to be in a daze again.

……

This night, before going to bed, Cui Hengyue said to Shui Fu and Shui Rong: "Mistress Wen is still on duty tonight, you two go back to your room and go to sleep."

Shui Fu suddenly felt a sense of crisis, Yuan Niang could not have taken a fancy to this ugly woman and wanted to reuse her, right?
No, she and Shui Rong are the personal maids, and no one can take their place.

"Yuanniang, Mrs. Wen was on duty last night, and she will be on duty again tonight. I'm afraid her body won't be able to take it. I'll be on duty tonight."

Shui Rong immediately agreed: "Shui Fu is right, let Mrs. Wen go to rest tonight."

Cui Hengyue hesitated a little.

She actually wanted to ask Mrs. Wen about something...

Cui Hengyue was struggling in her heart, and Lady Wen stood up: "Yuanniang, they are right, my body can't take it anymore, let Shuifu stay on duty tonight."

Seeing the insistence of the three, Cui Hengyue wanted to say "you don't need to be on duty tonight, let's all go to sleep", but he swallowed the words again.

If she said that, Shui Fu and Shui Rong would doubt Miss Wen's identity.

"Okay, Shuifu will be on duty tonight."

As soon as these words came out, the three were satisfied.

Cui Hengyue changed into her pajamas, lay on the bed, and carefully recalled what happened between her and Mrs. Cui, trying to find the correct answer.

After thinking about it, Cui Hengyue fell asleep.

……

midnight.

The girl on the bed was not sleeping soundly. She kept shaking her head and muttering to herself, not knowing what to say.

Fine beads of sweat seeped out, gradually across the face, fell on the pillow, and smudged.

"Do not--"

The girl on the bed woke up screaming.

Shui Fu, who was sleeping on the beauty's couch, jumped down when she heard the cry, and rushed to the bed: "Yuan Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Cui Hengyue wiped the sweat off her forehead: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

After speaking, she lay down again and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Shui Fu returned to the beauty bed, picked up the quilt on the floor, and continued to sleep.

After a while, there was a low snoring sound in the room.

Cui Hengyue opened her eyes and looked at the beauty couch.

Suddenly, there was a faint noise in the distance, Cui Hengyue sat up abruptly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

She quietly left the room and looked around.

The yard was quiet, and the silver light sprinkled down, making the yard even quieter.

Cui Hengyue pricked up her ears and listened carefully, there was a seemingly absent noise in the wind.

She raised her head suddenly, her gaze stopped at the sky in front of her.

That piece of night was a little brighter.

Cui Hengyue's figure flashed, she climbed onto the pillar and jumped onto the roof, looking ahead.

The lights are bright, and there are many figures, that is... Cui Quan's study.

A thought suddenly jumped into her mind, she instantly changed her expression, jumped off the roof, and went straight to Mrs. Wen's room.

As she expected, there was no one in the room, and Mrs. Wen had disappeared.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cui Hengyue quickly ran back to her room, went to the beauty's bed first, and knocked Shui Fu unconscious with her palm.

Then he put on his night clothes, covered his face with a scarf, and jumped to the roof.

She stepped lightly, crossed one roof after another, and rushed to Cui Quan's study as fast as she could.

……

"Cui Quan, you bastard, take your life."

Even though she was surrounded, Lady Wen, who was dressed in black, still remembered to hide her voice, deliberately suppressing her voice, and making a deep, manly voice.

Without changing her face, she tried her best to kill Cui Quan.

"Take off his face scarf, I want to see who he is." Cui Quan ordered with a gloomy face.

Dozens of hands reached out to Mrs. Wen's face.

Lady Wen hurriedly dodged, turned her body, and broke through the encirclement.

However, Bai Qi jumped up and quickly grabbed Lady Wen's face.

Oops!

Mrs. Wen thought it was bad, but it was too late.

She turned her face away in a hurry to avoid Bai Qi's hand, but the next moment, Bai Qi grabbed her by the shoulder.

Bai Qi attacked her face scarf again.

Lady Wen turned pale with shock.

Just when Bai Qi's hand was about to touch Mrs. Wen's scarf, he kicked Bai Qi's waist heavily with one foot.

"Oh!"

Bai Qi fell to the ground.

Another man in black.

"Go!" Cui Hengyue suppressed her voice and pushed Lady Wen out.

Although she couldn't tell who it was from her voice, but seeing her eyes, Mrs. Wen knew that the person who came to save her was Cui Hengyue.

"Catch them, don't let any of them go." Cui Quan was furious.

Without his orders, Bai Qi quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards Cui Hengyue.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen ran back again, back to back with Cui Hengyue: "Let's go together."

"Want to leave? No way." Bai Qi showed his saber and stabbed him.

Mrs. Wen couldn't dodge in time, and a cut was made on her left shoulder.

"then."

Cui Hengyue threw a dagger to Mrs. Wen, and drew out a dagger to stab Bai Qi.

She moved so fast that Bai Qi had no time to dodge, and was stabbed by her.

Bai Qi ignored his injuries and started fighting with Cui Hengyue.

Seeing the guards fall down one after another, Cui Quan's face was very ugly, he shouted: "Hurry up and call someone for help."

A guard left quietly.

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and Cui Hengyue's face changed drastically when he heard vague words like "Master" and "Assassin".

No, she had to leave before Cui Yongzong arrived.

Cui Hengyue exerted all her strength, grabbed Bai Qi, and said to him in a low voice: "The secret of Cui's residence has been leaked."

Bai Qi's face changed drastically, and there was a trace of panic in surprise.

It's now.

Cui Hengyue took the opportunity to insert the dagger into Bai Qi's body, then quickly pulled out the dagger, and kicked Bai Qi flying.

"Walk."

Bai Qi's body knocked down the guard behind him, and the ground fell instantly.

At the same time, Cui Hengyue and Mrs. Wen jumped onto the roof and flew away.

"Hurry up and catch them." Cui Quan yelled.

Cui Yongzong who had just entered the yard heard this, and immediately told the people behind him: "Hurry up and chase."

In the blink of an eye, all the guards left the yard.

Cui Yongzong walked quickly to Cui Quan's side, and asked with concern: "Father, how are you? Are you injured?"

Cui Quan shook his head: "Fortunately, I was discovered in time, and I was not injured."

Cui Yongzong felt relieved, and asked again: "Father, who were those two men in black just now?"

"I don't know either." Cui Quan shook his head.

"We'll know when we catch them." Cui Quan said and entered the study.

Cui Yongzong walked in: "Father, did you miss anything?"

After Cui Quan heard the movement, he ordered to arrest people, and he didn't have time to check the things in the study.

Now that he heard his son's reminder, he immediately ran to the cabinet in the south...
