This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me

The surroundings of the street fell into dead silence. A few unattended gambling dens were ablaze with raging flames.

On the old street full of ruins, Xu Bailin was leaning against a wall with his head lowered as blood slowly dripped down the steps.

After confirming that he was dead, Ye Jingtang turned around and walked to the end of the street. On the way, he picked up the Hornless Dragon Saber that was inserted into the ground and put it on his waist.

The storm didn’t last long. Countless constables had rushed over.

Third Lady was afraid that her identity would be exposed, so she returned to the carriage in advance. Luo Ning, with a veil covering her face and a three-foot-long sword in her hand, was standing beside the two brothers.

Second Wang was lying on the ground without any sound. Wang Chengjing’s injuries had received the most care, and his injuries were very serious. Blood was seeping out of his mouth and nose, and blood stains covered his entire body. He had collapsed to the side, and there was more air going out than coming in.

Seeing Ye Jingtang come over, Luo Ning raised her sword and said, “It’s the two Wang brothers of Yan Province. How should we deal with them?”

When Ye Jingtang saw that these two idiotic killers had tried to assassinate ‘Ye Silang’ and ‘Ye Jingtang’ consecutively, he knew that the Zhou family was behind them. Jun Mountain Terrace wouldn’t think of getting rid of his two identities at the same time. But according to Xu Bailin’s confession, this matter had something to do with Jun Mountain Terrace.

“Buying the murder of an officer is equivalent to rebellion. These two are witnesses. Let the Black Office interrogate them first and see if they can dig out anything. Are you and Third Lady injured?”

“These two people were already injured by you. 1 didn’t do much. Third Lady knocked them down alone.”

Luo Ning put away her sword and turned to size up Ye Jingtang. Seeing that he was covered in sweat, she took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.

Ye Jingtang’s wife was caring for him, so his heart naturally warmed. He looked up and saw that countless officials had yet to come. He quickly lifted Luo Ning’s blue veil, lowered his head, and kissed her red lips. His hand even pinched the big moon, and his five fingers sank into the softness.

?!

Caught off guard, Luo Ning was kissed firmly. Her eyes widened slightly, and she bit Ye Jingtang’s lip lightly in anger before retreating. “Little thief, you’re really…”

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her lips, turned around, and ran back to the carriage.

After Ye Jingtang watched his wife leave shyly, he took out his Black Office waist token and went to the street entrance to discuss with the constables, who had begun to clean up the mess.

Third Lady and Ning’er had been afraid that something would happen to him, so they had rushed over to help. They definitely couldn’t have chased after other criminals who had fled in all directions. Only the bird followed. It was hard to say whether it could find their hiding place.

Although there was no one left behind, some clues were found in the residence. There were several pieces of changed clothes and oil-stained bathwater. It looked like the dissolving oil had already been poured, and unexpected events would definitely happen in the next two days.

Ye Jingtang was sure that the other party’s goal was the deposed emperor. He had to inform Dumdum as soon as possible. From a chief constable of the Black Office, he learned that the Prince of Jing was on the way here, so he went to the carriage first.

After the chaos, the neighborhood that was originally full of ambiguous sounds was quiet, and there were no pedestrians on the street. The Pei family’s carriage was parked alone by the roadside.

When Ye Jingtang arrived in front of the carriage, he heard voices coming from inside.

“You’re so heavy-handed. Can you be gentler? It didn’t hurt at all when Jingtang applied medicine-”

“He was touching you, but I’m seriously massaging you. How can it be the same? Just now, he was like a martial maniac. He wielded the big spear so fiercely that I didn’t even dare to approach him. How is he now, Little Miss Delicate?”

“That was a fight. Do you think everyone is like you? You appear so polite in public and only reveal your temper in private. When fighting, you only know how to jump left and right. I can’t tell what you’re doing…”

“You!”

Ye Jingtang lifted the curtain and saw a candle burning in the spacious carriage.

Luo Ning was sitting on the edge of the soft couch, holding Jade Dragon Ointment in her left hand and applying medicine to Third Lady.

Third Lady was lying on the soft couch with a soft pillow in her arms. Her close-fitting martial arts suit had already been untied, revealing her smooth back and waistline. There was a line of red marks along her spine, and he could even see two large squashed lumps on the side…

(0-0;)

Ye Jingtang’s eyes widened as he quickly closed the curtain. “You’re treating injuries… How are your injuries?”

Pei Xiangjun heard the noise and was about to pull up her clothes quickly when she found that Jingtang had left very gentlemanly. She didn’t move and said softly, “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury.”

“If you’re fine, what were you complaining about just now?” Luo Ning was angry with Third Lady, who had been showing off to her with some battle merits. Seeing that Ye Jingtang had arrived, she put down the Jade Dragon Ointment. “You apply the medicine for her. I can’t be bothered to serve her.”

Pei Xiangjun was stunned. Her face turned red as she turned around. “What nonsense are you saying? You apply it. I’m a woman…”

Pa-

As if she was dealing with Yunli, Luo Ning raised her hand and slapped her, causing ripples on the big moon. “Then don’t make a fuss and say that I’m heavy-handed. If it hurts, hold it in.”

Pei Xiangjun turned around and said angrily, “Is there something wrong with you? You’re not good at anything, but you’re quite ruthless when hitting your own family…”

“Lie down!”

Sitting outside the carriage, Ye Jingtang found them pretty amusing. He didn’t try to run in to smooth things over. He just leaned against the outside of the carriage and listened to the two women arguing.

After sitting on the street for a while, he heard the sound of carriages and horses coming from the main street.

A luxurious carriage driven by four horses sped over, and Black Office constables cleared the way in front. Dongfang Liren, who was wearing a silver python robe, was standing outside the carriage and looking into the distance.

Luo Ning lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the heroic-looking princess. She felt strange and asked, “I’ll take Third Lady back first. Are you coming back tonight?”

Ye Jingtang naturally wanted to go home to accompany his wife at night, but the actual situation might not allow it. He jumped off the carriage. “The criminals poured dissolving oil. There’s no telling what might happen. It will be very difficult for me to go home today and tomorrow. Why don’t you stay at Third Lady’s house? I’m now a thorn in the criminals’ side. It’s hard to say if someone will find me in Double Osmanthus Alley.”

Pei Xiangjun sat up slightly and opened the carriage window a crack. “Be careful. If anything happens, get the bird to call for help. I’m fine.”

Luo Ning felt a little worried. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Do you have time? Come back for an hour. I’ll help you recuperate.”

“Hehe…” Ye Jingtang agreed with a smile. He patted the horse lightly and got it to take the Pei family’s carriage home on its own. Then he turned around and quickly walked to the street entrance..
