Chapter 257: Chapter 260 Returning The Favor
At this time, someone outside the hall rushed in and reported, “Your Highness the Empress, the Lord Protector, he’s awake.”
As soon as the Chiang family got the good news, they did not insist on immediately punishing Yun Qianxue. Empress Chiang quickly said, “The Chiang family will definitely investigate this matter. If it is revealed that Yun Qianxue indeed poisoned the Lord Protector, she’ll be punished regardless.”
“Men, send them off.”
After Empress Chiang said that, the people in the hall knew that the matter was put to rest for now.
Immediately, Liu Shi held her daughter and brought her out of the hall.
When she passed by Yun Qianyu, Liu Shi glared at her maliciously. Seeing the hatred in Liu Shi’s eyes, Yun Qianyu could tell that she wanted to kill her.
However, Yun Qianyu was not afraid and only sneered back at her.
The reason why she had poisoned Yun Qianxue was to totally destroy her reputation. After becoming the laughing stock of the Dongli state, Yun Qianxue would never be able to marry into a noble family.
In the past, Yun Qianxue had tormented her predecessor. She had even tried to get Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei killed. That’s why in Yun Qianyu’s mind, Yun Qianxue deserved all of this humiliation.
Naturally, Yun Qianyu would not let such a good opportunity slip away.
Suddenly a thought popped into her mind, ‘Was it Liu Shi who sent the spirit energy users to assassinate me previously?’
Since she had humiliated Yun Qianxue, Yun Qianyu didn’t believe that Liu Shi would sit still and take it. Yun Qianyu believed that this woman would definitely do something.
With what she saw today, Yun Qianyu felt that Liu Shi was not a simple housewife.
That was to say that there was a great chance that the assassins who had tried to kill her were actually sent by Liu Shi.
Yun Qianyu thought about it as she watched her leave.
After Liu Shi left, Yun Qianyu felt that there was no reason for her to stay here any longer. After all, she was also part of the Yun family. Now that the Yun family was having a standoff with the Chiang family, Yun Qianyu had no reason to stay here anymore.
What’s more, Yun Qianyu didn’t like any of the Chiang family members, so she might as well leave.
Yun Qianyu paid her respects to Empress Chiang and the Old Madam Chiang, then led Little Bell and her cousin Lu Jia out of the hall. As soon as she got out, she saw Bai Yao with Hua Mei. Hua Mei was unconscious and was being supported by someone.
Shocked, Little Bell ran to support Hua Mei and then glared at Bai Yao viciously.
“You shouldn’t have beaten her this much!”
After hearing Little Bell’s words, Yun Qianyu immediately shook her head and explained to Little Bell, “Don’t blame Bai Yao, they actually saved Hua Mei’s life.”
Yun Qianyu took a look at Hua Mei and knew that Hua Mei’s wounds were not severe. They were only skin bruises and none of her bones were broken. In fact, this was the best result. If Xiao Jiuyuan hadn’t taken the initiative to punish Hua Mei, Hua Mei would have been dead.
With that thought, Yun Qianyu turned to Bai Yao and said, “Thank you master for me. In the future, I will surely repay this favor.”
After saying that, Yun Qianyu and Little Bell supported Hua Mei and left.
Bai Yao let out a faint and rare smile as he looked at Yun Qianyu. ‘Is Miss Yun’s perception of my master changing?’
At this time, Yun Qianyu was only focused on Hua Mei. Seeing that Hua Mei was unconscious, she only wanted to heal her up soon.
Soon they all came to the carriage that was waiting for them outside.
Outside the carriage, Lu Jia stood still and said, “Feather, you should be careful and protect yourself. I’ll be…”
