Chapter 1494: Chapter 1489: The Carriage Caught Fire Again

Mu Qianya pretended to know nothing and walked up to Xiao Yu with a nervous expression, “What happened?”

She had no sympathy for Mu Nanfeng, but she was anxious about the impression she made in front of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu’s face was harsh, “Your good brother, competing with you, dared to hurt Miaoyan.”

“What? He… Miaoyan is alright, isn’t she?”

Mu Qianya slightly bowed her head in front of Xiao Yu, her shoulders trembling lightly with nervousness, attracting a glance from Zuiying.

Hadn’t he just told her?

She deliberately acted this way in front of her master, was she trying to…

Right, Mu Qianya was after the family property; she and her brother were competitors, so this reaction was normal.

However, during the moment Mu Qianya trembled, he began to feel nervous.

Worried that she was genuinely afraid.

Mu Qianya lowered her eyes, feeling two intense gazes on her, a bit of joy in her heart, but she dared not show it in front of Xiao Yu, just watching as Xiao Yu dealt with Mu Nanfeng.

As for pleading for Mu Nanfeng?

She would definitely not speak up.

When Zuiying made his move on Mu Nanfeng, she stood behind Xiao Yu, coldly watching Mu Nanfeng, locking eyes with him.

Mu Nanfeng, already tortured to the point of desiring death, his face covered in blood and tears, cursed at Mu Qianya, “Mu Qianya, you bitch! It was clearly you! You did it on purpose!”

How could his plan be seen through?

How did Mu Qianya suddenly make the steward change his statement?!

Clearly, it should have been Mu Qianya tied here suffering the punishment!

Mu Qianya was indifferent; she knew that tonight Xiao Yu would not give Mu Nanfeng any chance to struggle. He dared to frame her for hurting Su Miaoyan, which was crossing the line that Xiao Yu could never tolerate. If he didn’t die, he wouldn’t have half a life left!

Mu Nanfeng was being tortured by Xiao Yu, and then he started cursing him, the insults further incriminating himself in his plot against Mu Qianya, increasingly enraging Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu twirled the jade thumb ring in his hand, “Zuiying, kill him.”

Zuiying nodded, turned around, and drew his sword.

Killing someone for him was just a momentary affair.

But for Mu Nanfeng, this immensely magnified his fear; his eyes widened in terror, his pants beginning to wet, “Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu, you can’t kill me! I am the Eldest Young Master of the Mu Family, my father won’t let you off! I… Mu Qianya is still my sister! You can’t kill me!”

Has Xiao Yu gone mad?!

To actually want to kill him!

Mu Qianya sneered coldly, Mu Nanfeng had provoked Xiao Yu without knowing that Xiao Yu was no longer the Xiao Yu he used to be; by killing him and covering this up, his father would never find out for the rest of his life, nor would he leave any remains!

This was the price he had to pay for harming Su Miaoyan!

Mu Qianya’s eyes faintly showed some satisfaction, the accusations and traps Mu Nanfeng had set for her in the past finally ending today!

“Master, it’s bad! Madam’s carriage caught fire on the road; everything is burnt down!” Xiao Yu’s guard hurriedly arrived and knelt down.

Xiao Yu’s jade thumb ring, ‘click’, got crushed in his hand!

His eyes gradually turned red, emitting an extremely sinister aura, “What did you say!? What are you doing!? How could she have an accident again!?”

He had dispatched countless guards and spies to protect Su Miaoyan, yet they still let her have an accident!

She had clearly left him, left the vortex of Xiao family, she was going back to Marquis’s Manor!

How could she still encounter trouble!

“Perhaps someone with intentions set an ambush! Madam’s carriage was hurrying at night, moving somewhat quickly, but before reaching Hangzhou city, it suddenly caught fire. My subordinates rushed to extinguish the fire, but there was too much oil on the vehicle, it burned too quickly, and my subordinates were injured, unable to rescue Madam!”

The guard spoke as if he had already resigned himself to death.

They had failed to protect the Madam, and did not expect the family head to spare their lives.

After serving so many years as the family head’s personal guards, who didn’t know that the Madam was the family head’s life, her life was even more important than the family head’s!

“Why was there so much oil? And who else would want to harm Miaoyan?” This was something Mu Qianya hadn’t figured out momentarily, Mu Nanfeng was already captured by Xiao Yu, he had no time to plan another fire to frame her!

“Naturally it was Mu Qianya! Now that I frame her and she has uncovered it, but she is by your side, she knows better than outsiders how much you care about Su Miaoyan. What if Su Miaoyan left? Unless she dies, when can Mu Qianya truly become the Xiao family’s madam!” Even as Mu Nanfeng was gasping for life, he didn’t forget to shout at Xiao Yu and Mu Qianya.

His gaze towards Mu Qianya was filled with hatred and venom.

“Mu Qianya, how deep and venomous your mind is, Xiao Yu, you are not unaware of it, huh!” Mu Nanfeng sneered.

He had failed, but he wouldn’t let Mu Qianya have it easy!

Xiao Yu was such a shrewd and wise man, naturally suspicious!

Regarding Su Miaoyan, he wouldn’t care about wrongfully killing one or two!

He dares to act against Mu Nanfeng, wouldn’t he dare to act against Mu Qianya?

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yu looked at Mu Qianya with sharp coldness in his eyes, “Mu Qianya, do you dare?”

Mu Qianya waved her hands in haste, “I don’t dare! How would I covet the position of Xiao family’s madam? What I want is just a mutual benefit, your feelings for Miaoyan, I see it, I have no intention of destroying it!”

Mu Nanfeng became more scornfully mocking, “What not covet? Mu Qianya, you’ve been profit-driven since young, what wouldn’t you do for interest? Who doesn’t know about you accompanying the president of the commerce guild in the middle of the night to negotiate a deal years ago? To frame me, you were unscrupulous! Now that you’ve married into Xiao family as a concubine, how could you not be tempted by the lucrative seat of Xiao family’s madam? Only the young and naive Miss from marquis’s manor could be confused and trust you enough to give you an opportunity!”

Mu Qianya gritted her teeth, “Mu Nanfeng, you are now a mad dog, wildly lashing out!”

“How am I wildly lashing out? You dare do it but not admit it? Are you saying you didn’t kill Su Miaoyan? You just wanted to seize the position of Xiao family’s madam! You ruthless and vicious woman…”

“Spurt!”

Before he could finish his words, Shadowblade plunged a knife into his body.

Xiao Yu had given orders, but this stab, Shadowblade acted more on his own volition.

Xiao Yu immediately rushed out, ignoring Mu Qianya, but it was impossible for Mu Qianya to run away from Xiao family now.

Actually, she was also worried about Su Miaoyan, wanting to follow and check the situation, but Shadowblade held her shoulder, “Don’t go, wait!”

If she ran, everything would be hard to explain, and with the master’s rage, everyone could die.

“But Miaoyan…” Mu Qianya’s eyes filled with concern, she genuinely cared for Miaoyan, not as Mu Nanfeng described.

“I believe you.”

Shadowblade looked back at her once, then immediately followed Xiao Yu.
