Even though she was being questioned, the girl calmly looked at Lou Qianxue.
When Lou Qianxue saw that the girl was not afraid of dying, she felt something amiss. In the next moment, she saw black blood flowing out from that girl’s eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.
“Poison!”
Lou Qianxue’s expression changed. Who exactly is this person?
When the girl failed the mission, she killed herself by consuming poison. Lou Qianxue could tell that the girl was well-trained and handled matters ruthlessly!
“What’s happening?”
Other people came forward one after another.
Lou Qianxue’s face was solemn as she answered, “Someone wants to assassinate me!”
Hiss!
Gasps rang out in the surroundings. People were stunned as they looked at the girl silently lying on the ground.
Lou Xiaoxiao also came back to her senses. She furiously asked. “Who actually dared to touch the First Miss of City Lord’s Mansion? Investigate! Uncover the mastermind behind the scene!”
“Outrageous!”
Lou Jingfeng rode the horse over. Without even getting down the horse, he condescendingly looked at everyone. His cold gaze shot straight at Lou Xiaoxiao. “I, the City Lord, have not even spoken. What orders are you giving?”
Lou Xiaoxiao’s face flushed. An ugly expression appeared on her face.
Lou Qianxue patted Lou Xiaoxiao’s hand to comfort her. Thereafter, she looked indifferently at Lou Jingfeng. “What does City Lord plan to do?”
Lou Jingfeng replied in a cold manner, “Our younger generation has to take part in the Prefecture competition. This matter is important. How can the trip be delayed due to this kind of trivial matter involving you? You just have to be careful during the subsequent journey. Everyone, continue to be on your way.”
Lou Xiaoxiao could not bear with it. “City Lord Lou, your daughter was almost assassinated, yet you are so—”
“Shut up!” Lou Jingfeng’s face turned ugly. “Lou Xiaoxiao, you are just coming to watch the competition. If you contradict me like that again, get lost and go back.”
After speaking, he looked at Lou Qianxue hatefully and snorted. “There are so many people here. Why is someone assassinating Lou Qianxue? Why doesn’t she find the reason that has to do with herself? She wants to implicate everyone. Perhaps, she has done too many bad deeds…”
Even though Lou Qianxue did not have any hopes for this father, she still felt gloomy at that moment. A tinge of coldness flashed past her eyes. “City Lord Lou is leading this trip. Aren’t you supposed to be guarding our safety? Are these guards only for display? Now that something has happened, not only has City Lord Lou failed to give us an explanation, but you can’t even differentiate right from wrong. Are you afraid that you are unable to find the murderer, and it’ll reveal your incompetence? If this is the case, you can say it directly. I will definitely not force you. However, if City Lord Lou is so incompetent, you better abdicate soon.”
“Wicked girl!” Lou Jingfeng was so angry that his whole body trembled. “Get lost! Get lost!”
Lou Qianxue turned around and got on the horse that had pulled the carriage earlier. She stretched her hand towards Lou Xiaoxiao. Then she looked at Lou Jingfeng. “I’m going to participate in the Prefecture competition. On what basis are you asking me to get lost?”
When everyone saw this father and daughter opposing each other, they were dumbfounded.
For them, it would be more appropriate to say that these two were enemies instead.
“You…”
“Lord, Lord, don’t be angry.” When Jiang Suying saw the two locked in a fierce argument, she spiraled over. With a gentle and tactful expression, she replied. “Qianxue has always been rebellious and has no respect for you as a father. Why do you want to stoop to her level.”
When everyone heard this, their faces revealed a strange look. Their gazes at Lou Qianxue also became subtle.
This woman would really feel uncomfortable in her heart if she did not find trouble even for one day. For all I know, she might be the one who sent the assassin. Lou Qianxue glared at Jiang Suying. “Ah, I am indeed not so good to get along with. City Lord Lou, Madam Jiang, both of you have to be careful. If I become powerful one day, I may chase you all out of City Lord’s Mansion when I am in a bad mood!”
When Lou Jingfeng and Jiang Suying heard this, their faces instantly turned black.
