Chapter 128: Let’s Die Together! (1)

It was gloomy within the Champion Marquis residence today and everyone kept quiet out of fear.

Marquis’s beloved Lady Marquis was actually silently kidnapped out of the residence under everyone’s eyes and no one knew where she had gone.

The maids in the Lady’s yard were knocked out with medicine by a servant by Marquis’s side.

When everyone realized, it was too late and the yard was full of unconscious people laying on the ground.

Only the Lady was nowhere in sight.

Marquis’s elder brother — State Duke Residence’s Crown Prince — Yu Xingyong, and Prince Yan, Cheng Shizhao, rushed to the Marquis’s study one after the other without even waiting for the servants to report their arrivals.

The moment Chen Shizhao walked in, he said, “Xingzhi, don’t worry.”

Yet, he looked up to see the two brothers, Yu Xingyong and Yu Xingzhi, both raising their heads to look at him.

Yu Xingzhi had an ashen but calm look on his face, not nervous as Chen Shizhao had expected him to be.

Cheng Shizhao coughed and sat down, feeling as if he was the one who can’t be calm.

Right now, he was restless and worried as if a fire was burning in his heart.

Yu Xingzhi said in a gloomy tone, “Xiaoxiao is in trouble. I can’t panic because if I do, what will happen to her? But right now, we can’t delay this matter. Cousin and elder brother, please calm down and help me come up with a plan.”

Yu Xingyong knitted his eyebrows and said to Juanzi, “Describe what happened in detail.”

They had just splashed her with cold water, waking Juanzi up. She reluctantly struggled to get up, her hair still covered in water droplets.

Her eyes were red and she clutched her sleeves with her plump hands.

But she knew that time was urgent, so she held in the urge to cry and described what happened in detail again.

Yu Xingzhi took out a letter and placed it on the table. Everyone looked to see a few rows of words.

For Champion Marquis, Yu Xingzhi: At around 3:45pm, I want to invite you to the Shili Pavilion outside the city to admire the scenery. We haven’t seen each other for countless years and I missed you. I’m afraid that you might not come, so I especially invited the Lady to come first. If you’re late by 15 minutes, I will chop off one of Lady’s shoulders and if you’re late by 30 minutes, I’ll chop off two of her legs. If you want to save your Lady, come alone. Don’t forget.

From your brother, Bingren.

Cheng Shizhao pounded the table and said, “Yu Tong has followed you for countless years and I would’ve never thought he was the spy Lin Family had placed at our side.”

Yu Xingyong waved his hands and dismissed Juanzi, saying, “I didn’t expect Lin Family to be so sinister and cruel. After so many years of planning, they suddenly made this move, clearly catching us off guard. From what my people have told me, they were quick and swift, with countless people. In addition, there is a spy within the residence and there are elites outside the residence helping out. After everything had gone smoothly, they rapidly left the city. This was not like was the work of Lin Bingren, this runaway. It seemed like Qidan people were behind this. Oh right, fifth brother, does Yu Tong know about Xiaoxiao’s background?”

“I’ve been very careful about this. Besides my brothers and father, no one knows that Xiaoxiao comes from Lin residence. Even Yu Tong thinks that Xiaoxiao was just a woman I met out of coincidence.”

Cheng Shizhao said, “If this was the work of Lin Bingren, he must’ve been aiming for revenge. It might be difficult for us. But if Qidan people were behind this, they must’ve another motive and we might have a chance of turning the tables around.”

“We’re pressed on time and in order to keep Xiaoxiao safe, I’ll head over first.”

“You must not!”

Yu Xingyong and Cheng Shizhao both stopped him.

Yu Xingyong said, “Fifth brother, don’t act out of impulsive. We need to carefully create a plan. Elder brother, I…”
