Chapter 883 The Xin Family’s Trap
It was beyond Xin Mu’s expectation that Ningqiu would refuse him so directly.
However, since they had rejected Wanyan Yu, Ningqiu, who was originally in line with him, would naturally refuse them.
However, Xin Mu, who was still unwilling to give up, continued to persuade Ningqiu softly.
“Miss Ningqiu is a kind-hearted lady. How could you do nothing to save the Xin Family? Please do us a favor. I will be very grateful.”
As he spoke, he was about to bow to Ningqiu.
“Lord Xin, please don’t! But Madame told me to obey all the orders of His Highness before I came. I cannot comply with your wishes.”
The cool woman said in a soft voice which made her stand clear.
Now, everyone was very clear that she was standing with Wanyan Yu.
If Wanyan Yu agreed, she would help them. Otherwise, she would just leave it.
All of a sudden, everything seemed to return to the very beginning.
Xin Mu looked at the two children whose personalities were exactly the same as that of Madame Jingrou.
Just like her, the stubbornness was rooted in their bone and blood, and no one could easily change it.
Seeing Xin Mu’s hands trembling with anger, none of them felt reluctant to part with him.
If Xiaoyu was not the most favored Ninth Prince and Ningqiu was not in the name of the princess who was wandering outside, they would never have any choice today.
Lin Mengya did not like the Xin Family which behaved selfishly, but in the name of righteousness.
What was more, she hated this kind of thing that people wanted to gain benefits, which may take other’s life, only by saying.
It was true that the Xin Family, without the chosen witch, was very pitiful.
But in fact, the chosen witch was just a poor tool that was kept and imprisoned, and even had to bear the tragedy of the human race.
It was the good fortune of the chosen witches that Madame stopped it.
No one knew how many sacrifices it took to make this huge Pool of Various Venomous Insects.
No matter how magnificent it was, it was filthy in Lin Mengya’s eyes.
The way back seemed to be much heavier than the time when they came.
In the morning, Xin Mu felt like being on a sightseeing trip, but at this moment, he seemed to be very worried.
Lin Mengya didn’t know what Xiaoyu handed to Xin Mu, but she knew that it was enough to hurt the Xin Family.
Otherwise, how could Xin Mu compromise so quickly?
But what made Lin Mengya even more curious was that she used to think that Xin Mu was a cunning old fox.
But today, he couldn’t even defeat a junior. Or, he was just a puppet, not the one who was in charge.
Lin Mengya did not know the purpose of those men hiding behind the scenes.
But there was one thing that she had already seen through.
The reason why those people all wanted to control the Pool of Various Venomous Insects wasn’t that they wanted to control the Xin Family. What they really wanted was the entire Lieyun.
After going down the mountain, Lin Mengya was lost in thought. She silently followed Ningqiu and Xiaoyu back to the courtyard where Xiaoyu lived.
“Sister? Sister?”
Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and tugged at Lin Mengya’s sleeve so that she could come back to her senses.
“I’ve seen that you were so worried since we came back from the mountain. Could it be that you’ve found something?”
Xiaoyu’s arrogance had disappeared. In front of Lin Mengya, Xiaoyu was always a gentle and innocent young man.
Lin Mengya pinched Xiaoyu’s face out of habit. She seemed to have forgotten something.
“Why is it so simple?”
Hearing Lin Mengya muttering in a low voice, Xiaoyu stopped making trouble for her. He sat in front of Lin Mengya and held his chin in his hand to appreciate her thoughtful looking.
“Girl, what do you mean that something is too simple?”
Qinghu, who did not follow them, naturally did not know what had happened above.
After Lin Mengya organized her thoughts, she said slowly, “I think Xin Mu became coward too quickly. Even if Xiaoyu took out the evidence that could threaten the Xin Family, Xin Mu shouldn’t have shown his fear so fast even if he was scared. Because there were almost no outsiders.
There were some things that were somewhat suspicious.
First of all, it was Xin Mu’s reaction. From the beginning of going up the mountain, Xin Mu’s every move seemed to be deliberately infuriating Xiaoyu.
Later, when Xiaoyu took out the letter, Xin Mu did not even refute. He just admitted it in a hurry.
Since the Xin Family dared to admit it, there was no reason for them to be afraid.
Unless he was putting on a show for them.
But what was Xin Mu’s purpose?
“How can they not be afraid? My father has been preparing for this for many years, in order to get rid of the Xin Family in one fell swoop. I’m letting them off lightly to take it out now. But we must get rid of the Xin Family. That Xin Li is not an ordinary person.”
A hint of coldness flashed across Xiaoyu’s eyes. Lin Mengya saw it clearly and an idea came to her mind.
“Xin Li… By the way, where is Xin Li now?”
Although Xiaoyu did not know why she asked this question, he still answered.
“He is still dealing with the disappearance of the people in the Xin Family for no reason. My people said that he was still in Fengling County three days ago. It is impossible for him to return to the Xin Family so soon.”
Of course, Xiaoyu’s news was trustworthy, but Lin Mengya gradually felt a little uneasy.
“Xin Li is outside now, so there are naturally many eyes on him. That is to say, it has nothing to do with him no matter what happens here.”
Xiaoyu didn’t know Lin Mengya’s intention, so he nodded.
Of course, it had nothing to do with him, even if—
Qinghu and Xiaoyu took it in at the same time. Now Xin Li was outside. Even if something happened to the Ninth Prince, it had nothing to do with him.
But now, the most important person in the Xin Family was Xin Li!
As long as he was alive, the Xin Family would have the hope to win.
Sitting in the yard, they didn’t say anything for a moment.
The older, the wiser. They didn’t expect that they thought they had run ahead of others everywhere, but they still fell into their enemy’s trap in the end.
“What a great rascal! They have dug holes for us step by step!”
Xiaoyu punched the table angrily and cursed with gritted teeth.
Think about it. Xin Li is so important to the Xin Family. Why would he go to look for some missing Xin Family members for no reason?
What was more, Xiaoyu, who had the heart venomous insect and wanted to feed the royal venomous insect, arrived at the Xin Family at this time.
So, no matter what happened to Xiaoyu here, it had nothing to do with Xin Li.
Since they were here, Xin Mu was the only one who appeared in front of them.
The other elders had only met them once and did not get too involved.
Actually, not only was Xiaoyu related to the Xin Family, but also he was the Ninth Prince. How could they dare to be so rude?
Unless Xin Mu was just a scapegoat.
No matter what happened in the future, they would just blame it on Xin Mu.
What a good move of making minor sacrifices to safeguard major interests. They could even scheme against their own people. What a superb method.
“In this case, even if they agree to Xiaoyu’s request, they will do something. By then, Xiaoyu will not be able to come back.”
Qinghu came to a conclusion in a low voice. Some things were kept in the dark, and no one could tell how terrible they were.
Now that they were exposed in such a bloody manner, one could see just how dirty and vicious they were.
“What a great Xin Family! My father wanted to let them go. But they were looking for death. Don’t worry, sister. No matter what they do, I have nothing to fear.”
However, Xiaoyu was not afraid at all. He was even irritated by these filthy things.
Looking at the indignant Xiaoyu, Lin Mengya felt both gratified and worried.
Although it was just her speculation, she was sure that no matter what kind of decision the Xin Family made, it meant great danger to Xiaoyu.
However, it was imperative for Xiaoyu to make a trip to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, so she should be more alarmed and never give up easily.
“It’s good that you’re confident, but don’t underestimate the enemy. Fortunately, we have her. Everything is still under our control.”
Lin Mengya turned to look at Ningqiu who widened her eyes in surprise.
“That’s right. They didn’t expect we have the chosen witch. With her, everything will be better.”
Qinghu was the quick-witted one. Perhaps the Xin Family’s original plan was to kill Xiaoyu and make it an accident.
But now with Ningqiu, the chosen witch, they were bound to get her.
If that was the case, they could turn the situation around with the help of Ningqiu, the chosen witch.
“As far as what I’ve seen today, there are not many places where they can set traps, but every place is fatal. I guess they want to take action after you enter the pool. In this way, even if the emperor wants to verify it in the future, their words will be the only evidence since no one can enter the pool. Then, after you enter the pool, don’t separate from Ningqiu. Ningqiu, as long as you take the medicine I give you on time, everything in the pool can’t do anything to you. But you have to be careful no matter what anyone says or does. Before Xiaoyu reaches the place where only you two can reach, you can’t leave him. Do you understand?”
She didn’t know much about the situation in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, but the only thing she knew was that even the poison in the whole pool couldn’t compare with the blood in her body.
The concentration and the effect of the medicine were two different things. Besides, the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass in her body was probably more than a poison.
With her protection, Xiaoyu and Ningqiu could run happily in the pool. No one could stop them.
“Yes, Miss. Don’t worry.”
Ningqiu naturally knew that she was bound up with the Ninth Prince.
They were bound together for good or ill. If something really happened to the Ninth Prince, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape either.
