Chapter 1406: Chapter 1401: Xiao Yu’s Killing Intent

“Brother!”

Xiao Qingyu even kneeled in front of Xiao Yu, imploring him, “Brother, when sister-in-law wakes up, she definitely will not want to see rivers of blood, have you forgotten how kind and lovely sister-in-law usually is? She dislikes bloodshed. When you were killing just now, she was terrified to tears.”

“I scared her to tears.” Xiao Yu’s brows sunk slightly as he stared at the corners of Su Miaoyan’s eyes, which were red with traces of crying.

Enough.

Yan’er dislikes this, so he would not let her see such filthy, bloody scenes.

Xiao Yu carried Su Miaoyan away, instructing Xiao Qingyu to capture Zhang Daying, not caring about the others.

Xiao Qingyu took a deep breath, “Mo Yun, take this woman away.”

Mo Yun grabbed Zhang Daying, who was still struggling fiercely but to no avail.

Xiao Qingyu, along with the foreman, stayed behind for the aftermath. He had some silver notes and trading items with him, which he handed to the village head, “For those who died by my brother’s hands, I cannot return their lives; I can only leave some trading items as compensation for their families. Please, village head, pass this on. Should their families struggle in the future, they can be sent to the Xiao family, and I will arrange their living.”

“This… this…” The village head was moved to tears.

He knew that the dead could not be revived, and he also wanted to seek justice for them!

But facing this young master, who had revealed his identity, they were from the Xiao family!

Did the other villagers not know, or could he, having seen the world as the old village head, not know?

The Xiao family of Great Cheng Dynasty, the richest, living in an almost celestial demeanor, how could these simple villagers afford to provoke them?

The young master who facilitated the aftermath was still humane, providing them with trading items and arranging for the wives and children.

If like that young master in a wheelchair… perhaps they would not have been able to safeguard the lives of everyone in the village!

“Ah…” The village head heaved a heavy sigh, only blaming their inability to recognize true gems.

The person who fell down the cliff was not someone they could handle carelessly.

Xiao Yu refused to let go of Su Miaoyan, nor would he hand her over to Zhui Ying Sword, tightly holding her as Zhui Ying Sword took them both across a hanging rope, landing safely. Upon landing, Yu Zhiqing immediately brought a new wheelchair.

Seeing Xiao Yu hold someone, Yu Zhiqing promptly led everyone to kneel, “Congratulations to the head of the family for finding the madam!”

There was no joy in Xiao Yu’s eyes as he warned them, “Today’s events, let them not be spread.”

Having been the external affair manager of the Xiao family, Yu Zhiqing understood much and immediately pursed his lips, “Yes, master only came to inspect the construction site and nothing was inappropriate.”

Xiao Yu took Su Miaoyan and left that very night, leaving all matters of the construction site to Yu Zhiqing.

Xiao Qingyu wanted to persuade him, the mountain roads were rugged and hard to travel, the carriages they brought were small, it might be better to rest overnight and then leave with Su Miaoyan, but Xiao Yu insisted, “The air here is tainted, I cannot stay a moment longer.”

Seeing the potential violence that could spill out of his eyes at any moment, Xiao Qingyu dared not say anything more. With two carriages, Xiao Yu leading and he following, they tied the Zhang siblings behind the carriage, and they could only start their journey back to the Xiao family.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Qingyu pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a slight ache.

Mo Yun could see what plagued his young master and also felt apprehensive, “Young master, I always feel that the head of the family now… has too much fierceness.”

Those villagers in that village, some might have been detestable, but among those who died under the Zhui Ying Sword, there were also innocents.

If Xiao Qingyu hadn’t come this time, I’m afraid that village would have been destroyed overnight.

Xiao Qingyu sighed, “My brother is not only full of resentment. He has many concerns. My sister-in-law has been left in the mountain village for so long, seemingly unable to recognize my brother anymore, and she has many injuries. If I were in his shoes, I would also be angry enough to kill someone. But with sister-in-law in this condition, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to heal her. Now the Xiao family faces troubles both from within and without. Even the original sister-in-law may not be able to support him, let alone sister-in-law in her current state.”

In the future, there are still many worrisome matters waiting for his brother.

Stabilizing the Xiao family won’t be easy.

As Xiao Qingyu was distressing over this, the carriage suddenly shook. He fell inside the carriage, but outside, the sounds of fighting had already erupted. He hurriedly got out to check.

On the already rugged and difficult mountain road, there were now several corpses.

Zhui Ying had just sheathed his sword.

Beside him, there were two young misses, one of whom was sobbing inconsolably while the other had a pale face.

They both looked at Zhui Ying with fear in their eyes.

From the carriage ahead, a man’s cold and ruthless voice commanded, “Kill.”

Zhui Ying was about to act again when the pale-faced young miss quickly said, “Xiao family head, please hold your anger. I am Mu Qianya, the Eldest Young Miss of the Mu family!”

Zhui Ying’s hand paused slightly, his gaze shifting towards the carriage as if waiting for instructions.

After a long silence from the carriage, Zhui Ying’s indifferent eyes lowered. The sword blade flashed, displaying a sudden cold light—

“Wait!”

It was Xiao Qingyu again, jumping out and standing in front of them.

Xiao Qingyu approached Xiao Yu’s carriage and whispered, “Brother, how can you be so confused? We have many business dealings with the Mu family. This Eldest Young Miss of the Mu family, both you and I have met her before, how can you kill her so recklessly?”

The Mu family from Southern Qi was also one of the wealthiest.

In the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, while the Xiao family was the wealthiest, the Mu family was second. They simply couldn’t go around killing another family’s miss just like that.

Moreover, they haven’t done anything wrong.

Xiao Yu’s stern side profile appeared in front of Xiao Qingyu, “They saw Yan’er.”

“That doesn’t mean you can kill them! Brother, it’s getting late, so please invite them to stay at the Xiao family as guests. We can discuss this further,” Xiao Qingyu knelt down again, blocking his brother’s path, finally causing him to change his attitude.

Xiao Yu left first, and Xiao Qingyu offered his carriage to Mu Qianya and her servants. Mu Qianya expressed her thanks with a bow, “Thank you, seventh young master, for saving our lives.”

“Miss Mu, you are too polite. My brother is just highly vigilant. He taught a lesson to the mountain bandits to prevent you from being frightened,” Xiao Qingyu deflected the conversation. Mu Qianya, being clever, slightly bent her knees, “Tonight, I am exceedingly grateful for being saved by the head of the Xiao family. I will have my father visit soon to express our gratitude for saving our lives.”

“Miss Mu, you are too courteous. Please get in the carriage,” Xiao Qingyu graciously nodded.

Mu Qianya, along with her maid Feng Ling, got into the carriage, and as the carriage curtain fell, her highly strung heart finally settled back into her body.

Feng Ling was still crying, “Miss, we almost… almost died! The head of the Xiao family wanted to kill us! Woo…”

“Shut up!” Mu Qianya quickly covered her mouth, “Remember well, tonight we were out gathering herbs and encountered mountain bandits. It was the Xiao family head who passed by and saved us. What he was doing there, we do not know, and we only saw the head of the Xiao family and the seventh young master, understand?”

“But clearly, there was another woman crying in his carriage,” Feng Ling muttered softly.

“If you say another word, the whole Mu family might end up dead at Xiao Yu’s hands,” Mu Qianya glared sternly at Feng Ling.
