Chapter 742: 742 heads delivered to your doorstep
After considering how to begin, Qingyue said, “Little Sister, I just went to visit our parents and overheard them discussing something. I’m not sure if what they said is true or not.
After much thought, I still believe that you should know about it.”
“Just speak straightforwardly, Fourth Sister-in-Law. There’s no need for secrecy in front of me.” Seeing Qingyue’s demeanor, Ye Jiu knew that the matter must be significant, and that it concerned her.
“I was about to go talk to Mother when I accidentally overheard Father and Mother discussing that Prince Jing has discovered your identity and they’re worried he might take you away. I didn’t hear much, so I don’t really understand what’s going on. But Prince Jing had just left our parents’ place before I arrived, so I’m worried that something might have happened!” In fact, Qingyue already had a guess, but she dared not speak recklessly.
After all, it was just speculation, uncertain whether true or false. If she guessed wrong and spoke out, only to become the butt of the joke, that would be very embarrassing.
Qingyue’s words made Ye Jiu’s heart skip a beat.
And then, the burgeoning good feelings she had for Prince Jing instantly plummeted.
“Fourth Sister-in-Law is intelligent. Please help me look after our parents and prevent them from worrying too much. As for the matter with Prince Jing, there are many complications that I can’t discuss at the moment, so I hope you can understand,” Ye Jiu said.
“Naturally.” Besides being a daughter-in-law of the Ye Family, her original purpose in coming here had been to protect Ye Jiu, and she would never betray her.
With Qingyue’s assurance, Ye Jiu turned and left, ordering the coachman to prepare the carriage and head toward the town’s post station.
Ye Jiu had already prepared for the worst—that Prince Jing had revealed the truth, and her parents now knew she wasn’t their biological child.
Regardless of why Prince Jing had spoken to them and why he confessed the truth after she had already rejected him, Ye Jiu knew she couldn’t just wait for doom.
This time, she would make things clear with Prince Jing once and for all—she would not go to the capital city.
As long as her parents wanted her, she would spend her life as the daughter of the Ye Family.
Upon arriving at the post station, Ye Jiu instructed the coachman to wait, then lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing no one at the door of the post station felt off to Ye Jiu. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
After all, if Prince Jing was resting inside the post station, it was absurd for there to be no one watching the door.
With doubts in her mind, Ye Jiu walked inside.
Suddenly, she heard the sounds of a fight.
It seemed like her timing couldn’t have been worse, thought Ye Jiu.
Although Ye Jiu’s martial arts had improved, she lacked real combat experience and was merely a novice compared to these experts.
She was fully aware of her limitations, so upon witnessing this scene, she immediately thought to retreat and re-evaluate.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
She had just turned around and hadn’t managed to flee when a long sword was placed against her neck.
“Everyone stop, or I’ll cut this girl’s throat,” a man in black said, pulling Ye Jiu in front of him with the long sword positioned at her neck.
Ye Jiu: “…” This is truly a head delivered to my doorsteps. How can I not take it!
