Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 90 The first murder

Shen Wanyu frowned tightly, she didn't like this feeling of being clueless.She is just a daughter of the Hou family, how many people have she hindered.Why are there so many people who want to kill her? Isn't it okay to live a peaceful life?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and my whole face turned cold.The air-conditioning around the body was released, and even Qiuzhu and the others who were standing not far away could feel that his young lady was in a very bad mood at this time.

"How could your little hands touch such a dirty thing without my permission."

Suddenly a gentle and deep voice sounded beside her ears, a slender big hand took her small hand and wiped it carefully with a white brocade handkerchief.He didn't even spare places like the fingertips, his eyes were focused and pious.

It's amazing that the originally annoyed mood calmed down because of such a sentence.Shen Wanyu raised her head to look at the enchanting man with his head slightly lowered, who was gently helping her wipe his hands.

Warm eyes shone on him, and his face was not really seen against the sun.It's just that the tenderness in those long and narrow Danfeng eyes caused little ripples in her peaceful heart, and she withdrew her hand as if being shocked by electricity.

"Why do I need your permission to touch anything?"

Shen Wanyu took two steps back, opening the distance between them.Lifting her chin slightly, she looked at him angrily.

"I am your savior and your master, do you think you need my permission?" Chu Mohan glanced at the empty palm, feeling a little disappointed.

"You..." Shen Wanyu opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at the evil man smiling in front of her.He can say this so confidently, he is also No.1.

"Ms. Ben is going back. Persimmon, you can enjoy the scenery here." Shen Wanyu glanced at the corpse on the ground, turned around and walked out of the alley.

Qiuzhu and the others glanced at each other, their legs were still a little weak.They could only support each other, and leave behind their young lady.

Chu Mohan looked at the slender figure that was drifting away, a helpless smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of resentment in his deep voice.

"This little heartless person is ashamed to put down his work to save her."

Chu Mohan was the only one left in the alley, and the gentle smile on his face disappeared.A cold light flashed in Danfeng's long and narrow eyes, and he looked coldly at the corpse on the ground.

"Yu Sha!"

As his voice fell, a slender figure flashed out.

"Master!" The cold female voice did not fluctuate at all, and the female stared at the ground.

"Clean up this place, and I know who hired these people to kill her." Chu Mohan's voice was like ice in the cold winter, making people tremble uncontrollably in this hot summer.

"Yes, master."

Chu Mohan no longer glanced at the corpse on the ground, and quickly disappeared into the alley with a little luck on his toes.

The wind blew, and the alley returned to its former tranquility.Only the faint smell of blood drifting in the air with the wind proved that everything that happened just now had really existed.

A gorgeous mansion in an exquisite courtyard in the south.The sound of something breaking came from the closed door, and the two guards guarding the door shivered involuntarily.It seems that someone has angered Grandpa again today.

In the study room, which smelled faintly of gardenia, there were broken teacups lying on the smooth marble floor.In front of the large mahogany desk, a man in a stone-blue silk-colored treasure-faced robe knelt on the ground.He lowered his head, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

"It's the subordinate's ineffectiveness, please punish the master."

"It really disappoints me. You are really not good at handling things. Even a little girl can't solve it. Go down and get [-] boards by yourself." The warm and windy voice sounded slowly, and any anger could be heard.

"Master, that little girl is not as simple as it seems. The people we sent were all ended in secret. If I guessed correctly, there are hidden guards around her. And there is more than one, and all of them are skilled. very high."

The man kneeling on the ground frowned and hesitated for a moment before speaking.This time it was his ineffectiveness, and he was willing to be punished.It's just that he has to remind his master about this, otherwise he might suffer even more in the future.

The man sitting at the top raised his bushy eyebrows and curled his thin lips: "You mean someone is secretly helping her?"

A Marquis Mansion is not worthy of having hidden guards, that can only mean one thing.That means someone is secretly protecting her, but who would protect a young lady from the Hou Mansion.

"Yes, there should be more than one group of people." The man kneeling on the ground said in a deep voice.

"I see, you should pay more attention. I will leave this matter to you to investigate. I want to know who is secretly protecting her. This time, you will be exempted from punishment. If you make such a mistake again next time, you will end it yourself." .Remember to clean up the tail, and don’t allow anyone to find any clues.”

There was a trace of coldness in that gentle voice, with an aura that made people tremble.

"Yes, master." The man kneeling on the ground shook his body and quickly replied respectfully.

"Okay, get up. Go and deal with the matter for me."

The man who was kneeling on the ground stood up, a thin layer of sweat had already oozed from his forehead.Glancing secretly at the man who was reading with his head down, he turned around and quickly left the study.

The door of the study was closed, and the man who was looking down at the book slowly raised his head.Who is protecting her in secret, who can quietly get rid of the person he sent, the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.It seems that we should be more careful in our actions in the future.

As soon as Shen Wanyu returned to the Hou Mansion, she went straight to her yard.Leaving Qiuzhu and the others far behind, this is the first time she has killed people after traveling here.Such a living person was killed by one of his own poisons.

Although those people wanted her life first, she still felt a lot of discomfort when she killed someone for the first time.She rushed back to the inner room and threw herself into the big bed.

Now that she's calmed down, her mind is buzzing.She didn't feel anything when she saw killing people on TV and in novels.Now it's his turn to kill himself, which is completely beyond words.

The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Qiuzhu and the others walked in quickly.Seeing my young lady lying on the bed tiredly, I was a little worried.I think my lady is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, so I encountered such a thing today.No matter how calm and composed she was at the time, she was still a woman after all.

"Miss, are you okay?" Qiu Zhu boldly took a step forward and asked cautiously.

Yu Shui, who walked in from the back, glanced at his young lady who was lying on the bed without speaking.Sighing inwardly, she understood better than Qiuzhu and the others.Miss, it's not because she's afraid, but because the first time she kills someone, she feels a little overwhelmed by her own hurdle.

"Qiu Zhu, Miss must be tired. You go prepare some hot water first, and let Miss take a good bath and sleep."

Qiu Zhu felt that what Yu Shui said had some truth, so he hurriedly left the inner room with Chun Lan and the other three to prepare things for bathing.After the four of them left the inner room, Yu Shui approached the bed.

"Miss, take a good bath later to get rid of the bloody smell on your body."

Shen Wanyu's eyes moved, and her eyes moved to Yu Shui's more delicate face.Nodding meaninglessly, she frowned.It seemed that there was a faint smell of blood on her body, which made her feel sick.

It is good to have a small kitchen in your own yard, and the hot water for bathing will be ready soon.Shen Wanyu sat up from the bed and asked Qiuzhu to find new clothes for her from the inside out.Then they walked past the screen to take a shower, Qiuzhu and the others exited the room naturally.Just as Yu Shui was about to leave, she was stopped by Shen Wanyu.

"Yushui, you stay here."

Qiuzhu and the others were slightly surprised, but they didn't say anything and retreated out to guard the door.

Shen Wanyu took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub, and shrank her whole body into the hot water.With only one head left outside, she raised her eyes and stared blankly at Yushui who was standing beside the bathtub.

"Yushui, how old were you when you killed someone for the first time?"

The corner of Yu Shui's mouth curled up into a faint smile, and she quietly stared at Shen Wanyu with a dazed face.This is the first time she has seen her young lady like this,

"The maidservant killed someone for the first time when she was 12 years old. That was the second year I joined the Dark Guard camp. At that time, I killed an assassin to protect Lord Hou."

"How did you feel at that time?" Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback when she heard that her father was assassinated.Her heart suddenly raised her throat, and she always felt that someone was eyeing the Hou's mansion.

"At that time, the servant girl was the same as the lady now. Although I could often see other hidden guards killing the assassins. But when it was my turn, I was still very confused after killing people. For a while I I didn’t even dare to go on missions again, but it was Master Hou’s words that made me come out.”

Yu Shui seemed to think of the past time, a bitter smile formed on the corner of her mouth.

"What did my father say to you?" Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback, and asked curiously.

"Hou Ye said that in this world, the weak eat the strong. If you don't kill him, he will kill you. If you want to live well in this world, you have to be cruel to your enemies and even more cruel to yourself."

Yu Shui smiled at Shen Wanyu, and it was this sentence that made her come out of her daze.This sentence expresses the reality of this world, whether it is in the royal family or in the folk.

Shen Wanyu lowered her head and looked at her hands.She pursed her lips, thinking of the dagger flying towards her, listening to the misty fragrance in the Yuxuan in the palace, and the arrogant thugs on the streets of the capital.All of these are aimed at oneself, all of which are to put oneself to death.

If it weren't for that evildoer who always appeared in a hurry to save him, he might have died again now.And the people who kill themselves today are the same people who want to kill themselves.

"Yushui, go down, I want to be alone." Shen Wanyu lazily leaned against the wall of the tub, waved her hand to let Yushui go down.

Yu Shui knew that she had listened to his words, nodded and turned to leave.As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Shen Wanyu again.

"Is the person who wants to kill me today the same person who assassinated my father back then?"

Yushui paused, she didn't look back but hesitated for a moment: "I don't know too well, I just vaguely knew that the other party's status was very noble at that time. However, I think it should be about the same."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Wanyu nodded, and sank her body into the water.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she knew that Yushui had left the room.She held her breath, and she didn't surface until the feeling of suffocation hit her body to the extreme.She wants to let herself remember the feeling of dying today, so that she will cherish her life even more in the future.

The knot in her heart was untied, and she felt much more refreshed.From then on, she has her own principles, no one offends me, I will not offend others, if anyone offends me, I will pay back a hundred times.

Relaxed physically and mentally, she leaned lazily on the bathtub.Letting the warm water wash over her body, she slowly closed her eyes in the warm air.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already lying on the bed.Her head was a little groggy, and her eyelids were even more heavy.She opened her mouth, her throat was so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

She could vaguely hear scolding from outside, and she rubbed her aching head.She took a deep breath and sat up slowly.With a hot touch on her face, she knew she must have caught a cold.

The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Nanny Yu walked in.Holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, he walked over quickly when he saw her making it.

"Miss, how do you feel now?"

"Yu"'s dry throat was throbbing with pain from speaking, she did not expect that she would be so seriously ill.

"Miss, drink some water to moisten your throat first." Nanny Yu poured a glass of water and handed it to Shen Wanyu, watched her take a few sips and took the glass.

"Nurse Yu, what about Qiuzhu and the others?" Shen Wanyu looked at Nanny Yu suspiciously. When she was sick, Qiuzhu and the others would definitely take care of her closely.

"It's fine to stand outside. It's not good for them to take care of the master. No matter what the reason is, they must be punished." Yu Yu brought the hot porridge over and fed her personally one bite at a time.

Shen Wanyu wanted to intercede for Qiuzhu and the others because of her own reasons.However, she was punished for implicating them, and she felt a little sorry.

"Miss, you have to remember that you are the eldest lady of the Beining Hou Mansion. Your body is precious and your status is even more honorable. No matter how good they are with you, they are servants. Besides, everyone has their own responsibilities, and their responsibilities are Take good care of you. Now that you are sick, it is their dereliction of duty and they must be punished." Yu Yu looked at her guilty expression and sighed: "Miss, there are a lot of eyeliners in the Hou's mansion. You should take out Missy's aura, the person who should be intimidated must be intimidated."

Shen Wanyu suddenly raised her head to look at Nanny Yu, and then she smiled weakly: "I see, Nanny Yu, thank you for your reminder."
