At this moment, Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Wenshu came to greet her as expected, but they never expected that the moment they opened the door, they were shocked by everything in front of them, as if their breathing stopped at this moment.

The whole room was covered with traces of blood, the smell of blood filled the nose, the man was soaked in a pool of blood, his neck was stabbed several times, and his hands were destroyed beyond recognition. Was Jiang Qingyu the culprit behind all this?

Hua Niang covered her mouth in horror and quickly turned around and retreated to the door. Although she was used to seeing all this, she almost screamed out of fright.

Xiao Yanqing then turned his gaze to her who was lying beside him. Her clothes were slightly torn, and blood was all over her snow-like skin. The original color of her hands could not be seen, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

She stared at the roof with her eyes open, no emotion visible on her face until she noticed the door was open and someone was standing there staring at her.

Only then did she struggle to prop herself up, looked up at him in front of her, and slowly curled her lips into a smile.

"Your Highness, it seems your guest is having too much fun."

He didn't know whether it was because the scene before him was too shocking or because the sad smile was too weird, but he didn't respond for a long time.

Her smile was beautiful, like a flower that bloomed after a long wait, but in the end this flower fell into a pool of blood, as if facing the abyss, yet she remained tenacious and mad.

Xiao Wenshu stepped forward first, tore off his cloak and wrapped her bloody body, then checked to see if she was injured.

"Brother, she drank a lot of alcohol and just had some injuries on the palm of her hand." Xiao Wenshu told him after checking.

This means that it was all the man's blood. Xiao Yanqing glanced at the fragment that pierced the man's neck. Was that what killed him? Judging from her appearance, the man did not seem to resist, or perhaps he had no chance to resist.

I looked at the man's hands again. Those hands were...

After thinking for a while, he said, "Take her back."

Perhaps this woman was more useful than he thought.

"Hua Niang, take care of this and don't make it public," he reminded.

"Yes... yes, Your Highness." Hua Niang finally reacted and leaned forward to accept the order.

Finally, he glanced at Jiang Qingyu on the ground and turned away.

"Can you still walk?" Xiao Wenshu helped her up.

"Well... the road is shaking... I can't see clearly..." Qing Yu, who was half drunk and half awake, muttered.

"Don't worry, I...I'll support you."

Xiao Wenshu almost held her in his arms. Although it was a little uncomfortable, he couldn't bear it and just helped her into the carriage.

When she returned home, she almost fell asleep. Xiao Wenshu couldn't help but admire her. After going through all these things, she could still sleep so peacefully. Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, he called the maid and the doctor to treat her injuries.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

She sat up from the bed, holding her forehead. It seemed that she really couldn't drink too much alcohol. She had a headache and a feeling of nausea still lingered in her stomach.

Suddenly, I noticed that my hands were bandaged, and that I had changed my clothes and my body had been washed.

"Are you awake? Do you need to call a doctor?" Xiao Wenshu walked in from the door.

She looked up at him. She remembered that it was Xiao Wenshu who helped her back yesterday.

"I am fine."

Seeing her hesitant look, Xiao Wenshu remembered something, "Let the maids take care of the replacement clothes, you don't have to worry."

"Thank you, and for that day..." Qing Yu began to express his gratitude.

"You don't have to thank me. In the final analysis, we are the culprits." Xiao Wenshu stopped her from expressing his gratitude. He didn't want to have too much involvement with her, and everything had cause and effect.

"For me, it's different." She met his gaze and admitted that no matter what the reason, she was grateful to him.

Xiao Wenshu was stunned, recalling the scene of yesterday.

"Yesterday... don't you hate them?" Losing her virginity or her life is possible, doesn't she hate them...

"hatred?"

"Since it's a risky deal, why hate it?"

He couldn't tell what emotion was hidden in her cold voice.

"Aren't you afraid?" Although he didn't know how she did it, he was surprised that a woman who had never seen such ferocity could handle such a situation.

"Afraid…"

"If I were afraid, I should have cried in a corner, knelt at others' feet and obeyed their orders. Maybe I would have died long ago." She remembered the countless nights when she trembled with fear, but now it was different.

"I admire you very much. You met such a person, overcame the fear in your heart, and got rid of..." Xiao Wenshu raised his lips. It was the first time he met such a courageous woman. No matter who she was, he admired her.

She shook her head. “Actually, I don’t need to defeat fear. I need to face it and use it. That’s what I’m going to do.”

"Face the fear... use the fear..." Following her words, Xiao Wenshu's heart was shocked.

He had been taught since childhood that one must have the courage to face everything. He had never heard of using fear. He had never heard of such a strange woman in the world who could do such a thing.

At this time, the maids had brought breakfast, and Qingyu was so hungry that she was seeing stars.

"Let's have breakfast first. I don't think my brother will come over for a while."

Qing Yu sat at the dining table and looked at the sumptuous meal. The meat and vegetables were better than ever.

She turned to Xiao Wenshu, who was about to leave, and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Wenshu looked back, smiled slightly and left. If possible, he really hoped that they were not enemies.

According to Xiao Wenshu, Xiao Yanqing hasn't come for the whole day. He must be dealing with the person who died yesterday.

After she finished bathing, the doctor treated her wound again. Just as he left, Xiao Yanqing came.

She blinked and looked at him, and they were both silent.

He naturally noticed that she did not greet him. At first he thought she was unwilling to do so, but now he thought it was because she was not in the habit of greeting.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with my hospitality yesterday?" Qing Yu took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

Xiao Yanqing examined her expression. Even after what happened yesterday, she remained calm. It seemed that his previous understanding of her was wrong.

"You are very brave. You killed my guest. Do you think I will let you go?"

"Hmm?" Qing Yu stood up and walked in front of him.

"Shouldn't Your Highness be happy?"

"Oh?" He looked at her innocent face.

"I don't think His Highness would hand over such an important guest to me without any explanation. He just wants to use me. Whether I serve him obediently or do something ridiculous, it will be good for His Highness."

"Your Highness can put all the blame on Jiang Zhuo. After all, I am his daughter. If I kill him, I can solve this big problem for you." Qing Yu analyzed his strategy this time.

"So Your Highness should be happy."

He stared at her blankly, his heart slowly tightening, and suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her neck to subdue her.

"It seems that I guessed right..." His actions further confirmed her guess.

"Tell me! Are you a spy sent by Jiang Zhuo?!"

Although this guess was not true at all, he could not think of any other possibility. This woman was not only courageous but also smart. There was no reason for Jiang Zhuo to give up on such a capable person.

"Hehehe..." Her laughter suddenly burst out from her throat. Her clear voice was slightly hoarse because her neck was strangled.

"What are you laughing at?" He frowned slightly and tightened his fingers around her neck.

"Your Highness can try your luck." The laughter stopped abruptly, and the smile disappeared from her face.

"What are you betting on?" He became more and more curious about this woman.

"I bet that our cooperation will succeed. I bet that I will help you kill him."

"You want me to believe you?" Believe that she would help him kill her father.

What a joke! Ridiculous!

"No..." She held his wrist.

"We have no trust, only transactions with lives as bargaining chips."
