Immortal, save me!

Cheng family.

The next morning, the maid, who had not noticed any movement in the bridal chamber, could not help but knock on the door.

"Young Master, Young Madam, do you want me to help you wash up?"

No one responded.

The maid thought the newlyweds were still fast asleep, so she waited for a while. However, the bride and her husband needed to get up early to greet each other and have tea. As it was already dawn, the maid couldn't help but knock on the door again.

"Young Master? Young Madam?"

Still no sound came from inside.

The maid was anxious and pushed the door open and walked in nervously.

The festively decorated and luxurious wedding room was extremely quiet. The bride's wedding dress was scattered under the bed. The maid looked at the tightly closed bed curtains and called out to the two to get up again.

Still no response.

The maid felt something was wrong, so she stepped forward and lifted the bed curtain to look, but Cheng Yu was the only one lying on the huge wedding bed.

His hands were tied above his head with a belt, his eyes were closed, his facial features were distorted, his face was pale and stiff, a dagger was stuck in his chest, and his lower body was stained with blood, forming a large dark stain on the bright red bed sheet.

The maid screamed in fear, attracting the servants who were serving and cleaning the yard.

The news of Cheng Yu's death in the bridal chamber spread quickly throughout the Cheng family.

When they woke up in the morning, the happy event turned into a funeral. The Cheng family was caught off guard by the ups and downs and fell into chaos.

The circumstances of Cheng Yu's death made the head of the Cheng family extremely angry, and he ordered a thorough investigation.

The leader of Tianyan Sect was also alarmed and joined the investigation.

The primary target of the search was Meng Ziyue, who was supposed to be in the bridal chamber but disappeared, leaving only her wedding dress.

The wedding dress was scattered on the ground, and Cheng Yu was tied to the bed, his penis cut off and his heart stabbed to death.

Regardless of whether the murderer is Meng Ziyue or not, the Cheng family plans to let her be buried with Cheng Yu.

The first thing to do now is to find evidence and find the whereabouts of Meng Ziyue.

However, apart from sending the servants out of the bridal chamber at the beginning, there was no other news from Meng Ziyue until Cheng Yu returned to the room. They would not be able to find out Meng Ziyue's whereabouts in a short time.

Although there is no trace of Meng Ziyue, the Meng family still exists.

The Cheng family immediately went to the Meng family and asked for an explanation.

Cheng Yu is a direct descendant of the Cheng family and is the young master and even the future head of the Cheng family. The future head of the family was tortured to death after his roots were cut off on his wedding night. This matter will never be resolved peacefully!

In this incident, Meng Ziyue, who has been dissatisfied with the marriage and resisted in every way, must die regardless of whether she is the murderer or not.

And the Meng family must give the Cheng family an explanation that satisfies them, otherwise they don’t mind the two clans going to war!

This was an unprovoked disaster for the Meng family. A happy marriage turned out like this. The Meng family wanted Meng Ziyue to die to atone for their sin.

Although the strength of the Meng family is second only to the Cheng family, the leader of the Tianyan Sect is a member of the Cheng family. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. What's more, Cheng Jinrong has always had a close relationship with the Cheng family and has been biased towards the Cheng family openly and secretly.

The other families dared not speak out, as no one wanted to offend the Cheng family.

The same is true for his Meng family. In order to obtain more resources, they want to win over the Cheng family, so they use Meng Ziyue, who is liked by the young master of the Cheng family, to test the waters in order to gain that relationship.

Many women in the Meng family wanted to marry Cheng Yu, but they were all suppressed.

They thought a lot but they didn't expect Meng Ziyue to be so ungrateful. Not only was she unwilling to marry Cheng Yu, she even killed her husband and ran away on their wedding night!

Really hateful!

They returned the betrothal gifts in full and gave an compensation gift that was almost the same as the betrothal gifts, and promised to capture Meng Ziyue and let the Cheng family deal with her as they pleased.

But the Cheng family was still not satisfied. The one who died was the future head of their family. How could the debt be repaid by a woman who was supposed to be buried with him and some property?

In short, after this incident, the Cheng and Meng families broke up completely, and the only thing left for the two families to go to war was a fuse.

Meng Ziyue, who was being hunted by the two families with their entire clans, knew nothing about this.

Having seen enough of the excitement, Chu Xueying smiled happily. Her eyes were deep with dark light flickering in them. The surging and uncontrollable excitement was like a flood that broke through a dam. She no longer intended to hide her emotions.

Yang Ting, who was standing behind her, noticed the changes in Chu Xueying. He felt extremely distressed and also vaguely afraid. The current Chu Xueying was too unfamiliar to him. He had never seen her like this before.

Crazy, morbid, destructive, frightening and terrifying.

Even though the Cheng family strictly forbade the spread of Cheng Yu's death, it still became widely known.

There are many ways to kill a man, but cutting off his roots may be due to some unknown grudge.

Junior sister must have been hurt by a man.

who is it?

Cheng Yu?

If it was really him, he would probably be delighted.

If not, what can he do?

He walked slowly forward and looked at Chu Xueying's thin back. He wanted to hug her, to comfort and warm her.

But I can’t do that. Junior Sister doesn’t like him, and she doesn’t like his touch even more.

He lowered his hands, looking desolate so that no one could see.

"Junior sister, where are we going next?"

Chu Xueying looked at the lights of thousands of homes below her feet, her tone as gentle as usual.

"My brother has sent me a letter. I need to go back."

Yang Ting looked at her and said, "I'll go with you."

Chu Xueying looked back at him and said with a smile, "Okay."

Yang Ting could feel the coldness in her eyes, even though she was not smiling.

He pretended not to notice and put on a happy smile on his face.

Chu Xueying looked at the bustling street again.

Coronation ceremony?

Ah.

She smiled in an ambiguous way.

It had been a long time since she last went back. Actually, it wasn't that long, just two months, but she felt as if she was in a different world.

When she thought of her father, mother, brothers and sisters, she no longer had any personal feelings towards them. They all seemed so indifferent, as if they were people she had known in her previous life.

I heard that the bastard returned to the Yuling Sect. This is good news. I believe this trip back will be worthwhile.

She sneered at the horizon. The setting sun was blood-red. Sunset was approaching, and night was about to come.

Two days later, Chu Xueying returned to the imperial capital of Chu State. The long street was bustling with people coming and going. As she walked along, the thing she heard most was the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.

Emperor Chu was in poor health and felt unable to handle state affairs, so he abdicated the throne to his legitimate son Chu Mingyuan (Chu Mingyuan and Chu Xueying were the empress's sons, the third and fifth children respectively).

Feeling sick?

Chu Xueying seemed to be thinking about something.

Her memory stopped at two months ago. She only remembered that before she left, her father was still in good health and should be fine for at least a hundred years.

It seems that there was an "accident".

Chu Xueying was indifferent. The main purpose of her coming back this time was to kill that bastard Song Yan. As for other things, she didn't care.

She arranged for Yang Ting to stay in an inn and returned to the palace herself.

The palace was also preparing for the new emperor to ascend the throne. The palace servants coming and going were busy, but their faces were mostly filled with fear and anxiety.

When they saw Chu Xueying, they all bowed to her.

"Princess."

Chu Xueying nodded casually and was about to walk past them and leave.
