The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 424: Not dying this time is not a sign

Ji Zichu rushed into the yard in a hurry, but just as he entered the door, he was stopped by two secret guards who suddenly appeared in the yard.

The secret guard reminded Ji Zichu, "Third Young Master, please stay. This is not a place for someone of your status."

Ji Zichu said, "My identity? It seems that you know who I am. How come I don't know that there are places in this mansion that I cannot enter?"

The secret guard said, "Although you are the young master of the Jiguo Mansion, this is where the Second Young Master's family lives. It is not right for you to barge in. This is not good for your reputation, nor for your second brother's reputation."

Ji Zichu said, "Second brother's concubines? When did second brother's relatives live in a place like this? Stop fooling me. Besides, my second brother's concubines only count as second brother's future wife. My second brother hasn't even married a wife. Even if what you said makes some sense, the people living there are just... Anyway, my second brother's concubines don't count as concubines, so stop meddling in my affairs."

Ji Zichu wanted to force his way in.

The secret guards had no choice but to fight with him. Although Ji Zichu's martial arts skills were pretty good, he was no match for the secret guards, and they were two secret guards with very strong martial arts skills. Ji Zichu only fought for ten moves before he was knocked back more than ten steps by a palm. He almost couldn't bear it and vomited blood.

Ji Zichu was furious, but fortunately the servant beside him was smart. When he saw that his master was bullied by this group of ignorant people, at the beginning of the martial arts competition, the young eunuch quickly ran to the master to find the housekeeper. He and the housekeeper, with a dozen servants as guards, quickly came to Ji Zichu to help.

The butler first checked to see if his third son was injured, then turned around and looked up and down at the two secret guards in black.

"You are truly rebellious. After all, you are nothing more than dogs raised by my Ji Guogong Mansion. How dare you have the audacity to hurt your master today? Who gave you the courage?"

The butler had a fierce look on his face and scolded the secret guards without any politeness.

Unexpectedly, just as he scolded, he heard a voice behind him say, "I gave them the courage!"

The housekeeper, Ji Zichu and others looked in the direction of the sound.

"Second... Second Young Master?"

The housekeeper immediately backed off.

The housekeeper quickly bent down and said flatteringly, "Second Young Master, why are you here? This place is remote and desolate, and it's not suitable for someone as sick as you to come. I'd better go and get someone to carry a sedan chair and take you back to your own courtyard."

The housekeeper spoke with concern, but seeing the second young master slowly approaching, his throat seemed to be choked with fear. He only said two sentences, and then sweat broke out on his temples, and he dared not say any more.

The second young master came closer to him and stood still.

Although he was looking at the butler with a smile, his aura was frightening and calm, as if there was a ferocious beast lurking behind him, which would bite off the butler's neck if he was not careful.

After a while...

The Second Young Master snorted coldly and said, "Since you are my uncle's useful servant, I will not bother with you this time. But you must remember not to bump into me again next time, otherwise..."

Chu Yanqiu's eyes were cold and his lips were hard.

Some people also look deserted.

But it gives people the feeling that he is fierce.

The housekeeper secretly looked up at the expression of his second son. Just one glance and he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his back felt cold, and his whole body trembled.

This is not the housekeeper's fault. It's because Chu Yanqiu has a reputation for killing people for fun, and it's spread all over their house. How dare he disobey?

He only has one life, and the second young master accidentally broke his neck. Where can he go to seek justice?

Chu Yanqiu told the housekeeper to leave with his tail between his legs.

Only then did he face his third brother calmly.

He said to Ji Zichu as if chatting with family, "Third brother, aren't you busy? How can you have the leisure to travel so far to come to this deserted yard to see an abandoned woman?"

Ji Zichu was indignant. He stared at his second brother, who now seemed to be unfamiliar to him, and said, "Abandoned woman? You abandoned her?"

Chu Yanqiu said, "She's just a fake, someone with ulterior motives. She actually dared to pretend to be the woman I love. I didn't kill her on the spot, which was already the greatest kindness I could show her."

Ji Zichu believed what he said, but he hesitated, thinking that perhaps the woman in the room was not really her.

Ji Zichu said: "Then tell me, where is she... where is the real her?"

Ji Zichu answered irrelevantly. He said, "Third brother, please go back. There have been too many scandals in the Duke's Mansion recently. You have your own house outside, and you also have a place at Uncle and Aunt's place. When the Duke's Mansion holds a wedding in the near future, you can come and stay longer."

Ji Zichu raised his head upon hearing this, staring with his bright eyes and asking, "Happy news? What happy news?"

Chu Yanqiu said, "It's a great joy for me to marry her. Third brother should know which one I'm talking about, right?"

Ji Zichu felt indescribable pain in his heart. When he thought of that new and dazzling woman, who ended up not marrying him, his eyes became slightly hazy.

Chu Yanqiu looked at Ji Zichu's lost expression, and his heart inexplicably brightened up. He instructed Ji Zichu's servant, "Alright, take your Third Young Master away now. Be smarter next time. If you lead your Young Master to a place he shouldn't go like you did today, you'll be in trouble for your life."

The dazed Ji Zichu was pulled by the servant towards the door.

Suddenly, Ji Zichu turned around and said to Chu Yanqiu, "You didn't lie to me? The person imprisoned here is just a substitute? You'd better not lie to me. If I knew that the real her was abused by you, I would not forgive you."

Without waiting for Chu Yanqiu to answer his question, Ji Zichu quickly walked out of the yard.

Ji Zichu was not so easily fooled. He drove the servant away and hurried to the yard where Chu Yanqiu had just recuperated.

At that time, the maids were guarding the door, and two were serving in the house.

They were caught off guard by Ji Zichu's sudden appearance.

Ji Zichu lied, "My second brother asked me to get the sword from his room. I went in and got it myself. I came out right away."

The maid knew that there was a sword hanging above the bed in the bedroom of the Second Young Master. She also knew that the Third Young Master and the Second Young Master were close brothers. She thought that although there was a girl inside, she was well-behaved and obedient and would not offend the Third Young Master. So she nodded and let the Third Young Master in.

When Ji Zichu entered the bedroom, he immediately saw the figure of a slim woman reflected on the fallen bed curtain.

He took two steps forward nervously. He didn't dare to disturb her, but he was eager to find out if it was her.

Ji Zichu asked, "Shen...Shen Wen?"

The woman on the bed turned her ear towards Ji Zichu.

"Hmm? It's me, what's up?"

Ji Zichu's originally nervous heart immediately fell back into his stomach.

He smiled and said, "Nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time, and I wanted to ask if you were doing well."

The woman on the bed moved.

Suddenly, she opened the bed curtain, revealing a familiar face. She looked at her friend Ji Zichu and said, "I'm fine, and you look good too. By the way, I have something to tell you. Your second brother has agreed to marry me. After we get married, I'll be your sister-in-law."

When Ji Zichu heard this, his heart, which had been falling, suddenly sank to the bottom again. His smiling face disappeared. He said stiffly, "Oh, so that's how it is. Then we will still be a family from now on."

After Ji Zichu said this, he made an excuse that he had things to deal with and came out in a daze.

Chu Yanqiu, who was in the desolate place, had no idea what had happened in the dormitory.

He looked at the two secret guards and asked, "What about that imposter? Keep an eye on her and don't let her die."

Ji Zichu glanced towards the door.

He only took a quick glance and no longer headed towards the door.

After hearing the secret guard's reply that there was nothing serious, Chu Yanqiu turned around and left.

Everything that happened in the yard was seen clearly by the big eyes behind the door.

She was originally meditating and practicing in a secluded place elsewhere in the Ji Mansion, but her consciousness sensed some unusual movement here, and she immediately used the teleportation technique to come to this room.

She watched Chu Yanqiu decisively leave the yard, then turned around and looked at Shen Wen, who was lying on the ground as limp as a pile of mud.

When she saw her like this, a smile of satisfaction and revenge appeared on her lips.

"Despair, right? Painful? Is life worse than death? Why not stop wasting time and just die? That would be better for everyone."

Shen Wen, who was killed again with her hands and feet disabled and unable to speak, looked at Yuchi Lian coldly with an expressionless face.

"Oh, I forgot you're mute. You can't express your grievances."

Yuchi Lian sighed and continued, "Tell me, how miserable are you? You just went through life and death with your beloved, and then that man dumped you for a fake. Do you know what your lover is doing now? He's loving that fake in his own room and even said he'd marry her off in a few days. Now that he has a new love, what do you think he'll do to you, a stranger he once knew?"

Shen Wen listened quietly, her eyelids drooping unconsciously.

Yeah, what would he do?

Isn't it strange that a murderer like him didn't kill himself first since he thought he was an imposter?

Shen Wen's right eyelid, which had been calm, suddenly twitched twice.

This is not a good sign.

Although Yuchi Lian was very proud, she was actually unwilling in her heart, because no matter what she did, she could not get back the half heart. She didn't understand why, but she had a guess, maybe she would go to the body where the soul had lived for a long time, and only when the soul died in this world and the body was left without an owner, would she let the heart of God go wherever it wanted.

When she thought of the soul of the ordinary person she was looking for, carrying the body nurtured by the heart of God, she felt that the female ghost was blaspheming her master, and her cheeks twitched unconsciously.

Maybe she should go and warn that fake guy not to get carried away in Chu Yanqiu's house just because he has that good body.

In a flash of thought, Yuchi Lian disappeared from Shen Wen's sight.

As soon as Yuchi Lian left, the two gossipy maids in charge of this room came in.

When they saw Shen Wen still half-lying on the ground as she had been when she left, they finally believed that this Miss Shen was really like what the servants in the mansion had said, a piece of wood who could be manipulated by anyone in terms of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

"What bad luck!"

The two maids pulled Shen Wen up while making indirect ridicule of her.

But after the two maids put Shen Wen on the bed and sat him down, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
