After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 651 Hiding a Corpse

Su Lingyue went outside and closed the door.

Standing under the eaves, I stared blankly at the light filtering through the window screen, my heart filled with worry.

It's really strange that Xiao Yu seems so calm after such a big thing happened.

She still worried about Cai Die and Cai Yi, who was pregnant. She wondered how Cai Yi was doing now.

Beside him, Ren Dong, who should know what happened in the mansion, looked very bad, with her head hanging down, and she looked very dejected.

Honeysuckle.

Ren Dong raised her head and straightened her chest, waiting for Su Lingyue's instructions, "Your Highness."

Su Lingyue said, "I'm leaving for a moment. You guard this place. No matter what the prince does inside, you must go in immediately, understand?"

"Yes," Honeysuckle replied softly, her voice filled with unconcealed sorrow.

Su Lingyue looked at her, her eyes filled with pity, and said softly, "Please accept my condolences. Their blood will not have been shed in vain."

Honeysuckle nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Yu stared intently at Yun Ting.

Yun Ting stood straight, also looking at Xiao Yu.

However, he stood with his back to the light, his expression half-hidden in the dim candlelight, making it difficult to see clearly.

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did you do this?"

Yun Ting stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Xiao Yu, his voice as cold as ice.

"Yes!"

"They are your companions of many years!" Xiao Yu said through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

"The prince promised me I could die peacefully, but Yan Qing insists on causing me trouble!"

"Do you know that Yan Qing just came in and asked me to kill him to atone for their sins! You and he went through thick and thin together, you were like brothers, how can you treat him like this?!"

"So I didn't kill him. I did it just to keep him from causing me trouble."

Seeing Yun Ting's nonchalant demeanor, Xiao Yu was unable to move and could only stare intently at Yun Ting, his pent-up anger almost bursting forth.

"brute!"

"You can tell me, and I'll stop him. Why be so ruthless!"

"Is it really that bad?" Yun Ting closed his eyes, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

Letting out a deep breath, Yun Ting slowly spoke: "Back then, the Dingbei Marquis's family, 530 people, were all wiped out. Does Your Highness know how I escaped?"

"You think I was exchanged for the steward's grandson?"

"You're oversimplifying things." Yun Ting slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with icy madness, and the murderous intent emanating from them was chillingly cold.

Ignoring whether Xiao Yu answered or not, Yun Ting spoke up, a strange smile playing on his lips: "Your Highness still remembers my fourth uncle, right? That good-for-nothing was different from everyone else in the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, only good for eating, drinking and having fun!"

Xiao Yu remembered him.

Pei Si.

Unlike the other members of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion who were skilled in both literature and martial arts, he knew nothing about anything and only knew how to enjoy himself.

When Xiao Yu was young, he visited Pei Wu, who was still in school, at the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. He often joked with him, "Fourth brother, you are truly a gifted son of heaven. The Pei family are either obsessed with martial arts or literature, but you are the only one who has enjoyed all the blessings that none of them have."

Under the gentle spring breeze, willow branches brushed past Pei Si's shoulders. The man, who was nearly seven feet tall and as fat as a mountain, chuckled and said, "They have been fighting for many years. Wouldn't it be a waste if they didn't spend the wealth they have accumulated? Since I have such good fortune, I should naturally enjoy it. I can't help you with anything, whether it's the court or the battlefield."

After saying that, he whistled a clear tune at the yellow-feathered sparrow in the birdcage in his hand.

The bird hopped onto the bar and whistled.

Pei Si chuckled and carried it away.

This person was implicated when the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion was in trouble. It is said that he was killed while resisting, and his body was thrown into a mass grave. No one claimed it. When Xiao Yu found it, all that remained was a pile of white bones larger than an ordinary person.

Yun Ting smiled and asked Xiao Yu, "You think he was killed because he resisted during the raid on his home?"

"No, no, it was the butler who killed him. I was right next to him and heard it with my own ears."

At this point, Yunting chuckled softly. But after a few chuckles, the laughter turned into sobs.

"Why?" The coldness in Xiao Yu's eyes turned into shock.

He had asked Yunting about these details before, but Yunting had never told him.

Yun Ting looked up at Xiao Yu again, her expression unreadable, as if she were crying or laughing: "Why? Because of me! They all did it for me!"

"The Imperial Guards have surrounded the Marquis's residence. In order to protect me, they have devised a plan to hide me in a corpse!"

Xiao Yu's breath caught in his throat as he stared at Yun Ting in astonishment, a terrifying thought flashing through his mind.

"Hide you?"

Yun Ting took a deep breath, raised one hand to cover her face, and said in a trembling voice, "That's right, to hide me. They came up with this plan because they saw that I was small."

"No, it should be said that this is the only way."

"My fourth uncle smiled and told me that I must find a way to survive. Then, my nanny hugged me, and the butler personally killed my fourth uncle, emptied his stomach, stuffed me into his stomach, and then sewed it up."

Yun Ting let out a sobbing moan, “Although I couldn’t see, I clearly heard the whole process of the butler killing my fourth uncle and cutting open his stomach. The smell of blood was even stronger than when chickens and geese were slaughtered during the New Year. When they stuffed me into my fourth uncle’s stomach, my eyes were open the whole time. I couldn’t see anything but blood, but I could hear the sound of my stomach being stitched up and my fourth uncle’s body gradually getting cold. I often dream about it.”

Perhaps he had been bearing it alone for too long, or perhaps Yunting had already come to regard Xiao Yu as a dead man.

Today, I will stop pretending and tell Xiao Yu everything truthfully, to tell him what the true "absolute" is!

He would not let any of those who framed the Zhenbei Marquis's family, leading to the extinction of their entire clan, go unpunished.

Those people will have to pay double for the pain he endured, no matter what the cost!

After covering her face with her hands for a while, Yunting calmed herself down before letting go and reverting to her cold expression.

"Your Highness, no one can stop me from taking my revenge, no matter who it is!"

After hearing Yun Ting's words, Xiao Yu was shocked, but he also calmed down completely.

There's no point in arguing with Yunting about right and wrong now.

He was bloodthirsty and wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal. He even killed Xiaoman and his gang, so who else wouldn't he kill?

"I understand!" Xiao Yu looked at him calmly and said, "Everything will be as you wish, and don't forget your promise today."

"nature."

After Yun Ting finished speaking, he reverted to his previous cold and aloof demeanor, gave Xiao Yu a cold look, and turned to leave.

As Xiao Yu watched Yun Ting's departing figure, the gratitude he owed his father for risking his life to save him, and the long-standing friendship with the Pei family, all vanished completely with Yun Ting's departure.

He had done everything he could for Yunting.

Su Lingyue followed the servant and arrived at Yan Qing's courtyard.

Before even reaching the courtyard, a strong stench of blood assaulted the senses, along with the sound of crying mixed in with the stench.

As Su Lingyue entered the courtyard, she saw Caiyi slumped on the ground, hugging Ji Tang's body, her cheek pressed against his as she cried incessantly.

The sound of crying was especially heart-wrenching under the dim light.

"Sister." Cai Die cried helplessly beside her.

Caiyi seemed oblivious, clinging to Ji Tang and refusing to let go.

Hearing the crying, Su Lingyue felt a pang of sadness, her throat tighten, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing Caiyi's absent-minded look, Su Lingyue wiped away her tears, took out a small bottle from her purse, walked to Caiyi's side, and placed the bottle under Caiyi's nose.

A few breaths later, Caiyi swayed and fell onto Caidie.

"Miss?" Although Cai Die knew that Su Lingyue would not harm her sister, she couldn't help but worry.

Su Lingyue checked Caiyi's pulse; thankfully, the child was still alive.

She gently comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just a sleeping potion. If she keeps crying, the baby might not survive. Let's carry her back to her room to rest."

Cai Die nodded, choking back tears, and carefully separated Cai Yi and Ji Tang, asking, "What about my brother-in-law? He..."

Su Lingyue said softly, "I will first instruct someone to arrange a fine coffin for him. Once Caiyi wakes up, let her, as his wife, decide how to bury him."

That's all for now.

With the help of the servant, Cai Die carried Cai Yi on her back and left the courtyard.

Only after they left did Su Lingyue dare to squat down and look closely at Ji Tang's face. He looked like a real dead person, devoid of any life.

A nameless panic arose in Su Lingyue's heart.

Unexpectedly, Ji Tang still couldn't escape his predetermined fate.

What about everyone else?
