Chapter 328: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations

Huang Lijin had never been so angry in her entire life, she felt like she was burning with rage.

Shen Yue was such a perceptive person. Li Yaoguang was almost caught by him when he was eavesdropping. At this moment, Huang Lijin's emotional reaction was so intense that even if she didn't make any noise, Shen Yue in the room still perceptively noticed something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and glanced sharply towards the back window of the study. At the same time, he exerted force on the pen in his hand, and the pen instantly shot out towards the window like a sharp arrow.

"Who?"

Huang Lijin, who was hiding and eavesdropping from the side, felt her scalp tingling and inexplicably sensed danger. When she heard Shen Yue's cautious shouting in the house, she subconsciously shrank and dodged, hiding in the corner and then quickly moved away. She was not hit by the brush, but the tip of the brush that was three-quarters of the way into the ground behind her was still trembling, which made her feel uneasy. She ran away without looking back.

Huang Lijin was lucky to be killed. When Shen Yue quickly walked to the window, opened it and looked outside, a kitten jumped down from the wall due to Huang Lijin's strange actions and appeared in Shen Yue's eyes.

Cheng Su, who looked puzzled, quickly followed Shen Yue and leaned forward to look around nervously, "General, is there something wrong?"

Shen Yue saw the skinny tabby cat, turned around and shook his head at Cheng Su, "Nothing, maybe the cat is causing trouble."

"Oh." Following Shen Yue's line of sight and seeing the cat licking its paws and circling around the brush, Cheng Su nodded, "It's a cat. I thought it was an assassin! The situation is unstable now, the emperor is crazy, the general must be careful about everything."

Shen Yue naturally accepted Cheng Su's kindness, not to mention that this was an instruction from an elder. He nodded obediently and called Cheng Su back to the desk.

Huang Lijin, who had avoided the cat from a distance, subconsciously looked back at the cat that was still licking its claws. She thanked God for what it was and didn't dare to eavesdrop anymore. She quickly covered her chest and left the study, slowly and lightly evacuating to the back room that the messenger had pointed out when he arrived. Only after she quickly hid inside was she able to lean against the door and breathe heavily.

In the study, Shen Yue picked up the letter he had just written, blew on it to dry the ink, and handed it over.

"Uncle Cheng, the letter is ready. Do you have anything else to add? If so, I'll send someone to deliver it now."

Cheng Su did not take it, but waved his hands, "No, no, I trust the general to do the job, I'll leave everything to the general, if everything is ok, I'll go back."

"Are you going back now? Uncle Cheng has worked so hard for a long time. Why don't you stay for the evening? I will welcome you and have a meal with you."

"No, no, the general is busy with official duties. I am only concerned about you today, so I have to skip the level to see you. I have to report the clearing and suppression to General Xu later, so I won't stay any longer."

Seeing Cheng Su's insistence and that he was also very busy, Shen Yue did not persuade him any further, "Okay, that's fine, then I'll treat Uncle Cheng to a drink when you're done with your work."

While the two of them were exchanging pleasantries, Huang Lijin had calmed down. She pretended to be calm, straightened her clothes and hurried out. She called out to the messenger who was still carrying her on his back and thanked him profusely. Before Cheng Su left the study, Huang Lijin left the old Shen family residence where Shen Yue lived.

As soon as she returned to the mansion she had just bought in the old capital, Huang Lijin saw her trusted maid coming to greet her. She immediately ordered with a gloomy face: "Go, bring that bitch Xu Miao Niang to me."

Seeing that her master looked very unhappy, the maidservant did not dare to delay and hurried to the backyard to call for help.

In the backyard, Xu Miaoniang, who was making clothes with the fine materials given by her master in the past, was surprised when she learned that the master wanted to invite her.

To be honest, she was afraid of Huang Lijin, the mistress, in her heart. This person was different from Li Yaoguang, who was also her lifesaver. Today, after what she had experienced, she realized that this person was a hundred times more vicious than Li Yaoguang, the soft-hearted little girl who was easy to coax. She also saw that the evil of human heart had no bottom line. It's not that she didn't regret the stupid things she did, but the things had been done, and regret was useless. If she wanted to live, she could only bear it.

Xu Miaoniang was particularly obedient and lowered her head, smiling and being careful with the maid who came to inform her. She did not dare to delay at all. She simply tidied herself up and hurriedly followed the arrogant maid to meet the person.

Xu Miaoniang was in a state of anxiety along the way, and kept thinking in her mind how she would respond when she met the vicious master, and how to make this kind-hearted but evil master happy... However, she didn't expect that when she arrived at the place, she would be greeted with a fiery whip on the head.

Clap clap, clap clap...

"You damned bastard, how dare you lie to me! Tell me! Did you finish what I asked you to do? Did the two of you really do it honestly? Did that bitch Li Yaoguang fall off the wall? Tell me the truth, and don't lie."

Xu Miaoniang was completely stunned and had no idea what Huang Lijin was doing.

She just subconsciously dodged and kept begging for mercy, "Miss, Miss, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you? I have done everything you asked me to do sincerely. How dare I lie to you? Don't you know what kind of person I am, Miss? I saw with my own eyes that day that the bitch Li Yaoguang fell off the city wall and was finally swallowed by the flood."

"Ha! You still want to lie to me? Since you saw with your own eyes that bitch falling off the city wall and being swallowed by the flood, then tell me why that bitch is still alive? Ah? Tell me? You can't tell me, right? Humph, bitch, I think you are lying!"

Xu Miaoniang was horrified. "It's impossible. I saw it with my own eyes. I pushed her down with my own hands. The wall was so high and the flood was so fast. I watched her fall into the water without even a ripple. She was completely swallowed by the flood. How could she still be alive? Girl, you were not fooled by someone, were you? Ah, stop hitting me!"

"Bah! I was cheated? Yes, yes, yes, I was cheated, and the one who cheated me is you, a bitch, right? Ah?"

Seeing Xu Miaoniang still quibbling, Huang Lijin was furious, because she was confident that the news she heard with her own ears from that tomboy uncle, how could it be false?
Thinking of this, Huang Lijin was filled with hatred. She exerted force again and lashed Xu Miaoniang with the whip with a hook on the end. She whipped her hard, one whip after another, and each whip hit her flesh. Xu Miao grimaced in pain, dodged left and right, and rolled on the ground. In an instant, her whole body turned into a bloody gourd.

Seeing that Xu Miaoniang dared to hide, Huang Lijin became even more angry. She gnashed her teeth and wished she could eat her alive. "Bitch, you dare to hide? I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death! Go to hell, go to hell..."

Xu Miaoniang felt pain and grievance, she was in agony and couldn't stop crying, she was so sad that she didn't want to die, she kept begging, "Miss, please spare my life, Miss, please spare my life, Miss, I didn't lie to you, really! Miss, Miss, you are my savior, how dare I lie to you, Miss..."

"My savior, ha!" It would have been fine if she hadn't said that. But as soon as she said that, she started to regret it, thinking about how this bitch had cheated the tomboy in her previous life. Her tone was cold and she gritted her teeth, "Yes, my savior, you bitch always cheats my savior."

She hated herself for being so blind that she thought she could use this bitch to her advantage after she was reborn. She didn't expect that this bitch was such a fool who even dared to lie to her.

Thinking of this, Huang Lijin became even more ruthless and didn't listen to Xu Miaoniang's excuses at all. She just felt that Xu Miaoniang was such a hateful bitch and that she was really blind.

In anger and venting her anger, Huang Lijin severely beat Xu Miaoniang, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. In the end, even Xu Miaoniang's voice for begging for mercy became weak, and she lay on the ground dying.

Huang Lijin herself was exhausted. After venting her anger, most of it subsided. She stopped, panting, and threw the whip in her hand into the arms of the maid behind her. She pointed at the blood gourd that was like a dead dog on the ground and spoke harshly.

"Come on, drag this bitch away and find her some medicine. Don't let her die. I still have some use for her."

"It's a girl."
