Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 147: Miss Zhou is revenged

Jing'an Duke's Mansion. Shadows shifted under the eaves of the hall in Zhou Yunxi's boudoir. The cypress leaves looked slender and translucent under the dim light of the lanterns hanging under the corridor. The moonlight shone through the boudoir window lattice onto the white floor tiles, and at the same time, the floor tiles also reflected the swaying shadows of the branches, like algae moving in the water. There was a small light in the house, but outside the window, the sound of rain was heavy, pouring down like a torrent between heaven and earth.

Zhou Yunxi sat dejectedly in front of the coffee table, staring at the flickering candlelight, her whole body looking like a lifeless clay sculpture.

Her mood was worse than the weather outside the window, and she didn't notice that there seemed to be a figure floating in the black shadow on the floor of her room.

A man with a face as handsome as Zhu Yanxiao, with black hair tied in a high ponytail, emerged from the shadows of the house as quietly as a ghost, and his brocade nightgown made him even more concealed.

Although the movements were very light, the tall figure still created a gust of wind, causing the candlelight in the room to sway slightly.

Before Zhou Yunxi could react, she felt a sharp, cold object against her neck. Just before she was about to scream, a cold and eerie voice sounded in her ears.

"Don't move. If you make any noise, today will be the anniversary of Miss Zhou's death."

Zhou Yunxi resisted the urge to scream, but her tears could not stop flowing down. Her tears dripped onto the man's fingers holding the sharp dagger, and he frowned in disgust.

"Miss Zhou nodded once you understood what I said."

Zhou Yunxi nodded hurriedly.

The man put down the dagger, walked around Zhou Yunxi and sat down opposite her in a domineering manner.

After Zhou Yunxi saw who was coming in the flickering candlelight, she couldn't control her voice and let out a low cry.

"Mu...Mu...Mu Ye-jun?"

The person who came was none other than the second son of Duke Yunsheng's Mansion, Mu Yejun, who was also the mastermind behind Feningang Hall.

Zhou Yunxi had only seen the second son of the Mu family, who was said to be as gentle as jade, from a distance a few times at banquets held by various mansions. However, Zhou Yunxi would not mistake his handsome face, which was 30% similar to Zhu Yanxiao's.

Mu Yejun and Zhou Yunxi had never spoken a word to each other, let alone offended him.

There was a slight knock on the door: "Miss, are you okay?" Cuiwei, the personal maid, seemed to have heard the young lady exclaim.

Seeing the handsome young man sitting opposite her staring at her with red eyes, and a strong murderous intent in the man's eyes under the candlelight, Zhou Yunxi broke out in a thin layer of sweat on her back.

"Nothing, go away. Don't knock on the door again without my permission. If you dare to disturb me again, I will sell you out of the house." She shouted.

Cuiwei was startled, but she felt that the young lady must be in a bad mood because of what happened between Second Miss Shen and Master Zhu today, so she quickly admitted her fault: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, young lady."

After sending away her personal maid, Zhou Yunxi looked at Mu Yejun, wondering how he could enter her boudoir without making any noise. She had heard that Mu Yejun had many female confidantes, but she had never thought that he was so bold as to set his sights on her. As a girl, she must not be fooled by Mu Yejun. . .

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tighten her collar and said timidly: "Second Master Mu, why are you in my room so late at night?" Her eyes were full of a woman's wariness towards a strange man.

Mu Yejun looked at her actions with a disdainful expression on his face: "Miss Zhou, you are worrying too much. I have no idea about vicious women. I am not as blind as Zhu Yanxiao." When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and changed his words: "I am not as stupid and blind as Zhu Yanxiao used to be."

I just breathed a sigh of relief when I heard Mu Yejun say he had no interest in me, but when I heard the second half of the sentence, my face immediately turned red with anger. Thinking of the anger I suffered today, my arrogant temper surged up, and I sneered: "Humph, does Mr. Mu II break into the boudoir of a vicious woman late at night and be considered a gentleman?"

Mu Yejun fiddled with his favorite personal dagger with one hand. As the candlelight on the coffee table dimmed, the cold light of the dagger flickered in front of Zhou Yunxi's eyes.

"I heard that Miss Zhou gave Miss Shen an aphrodisiac during the banquet today?"

"Shen Shenshen?"

"You..." Mu Yejun glanced at her coldly: "You are not worthy of calling her by her name. For the sake of Zhu Yanxiao, Miss Zhou is going to destroy Shenshen's innocence."

Zhou Yunxi started to argue: "Mr. Mu has misunderstood. I have never told Miss Shen..."

"Zhou Yunxi." Mu Yejun lost his patience: "If you don't tell me the truth, the dagger in my hand will have no eyes."

Zhou Yunxi was used to being domineering after all. Apart from being shocked at first, she regained her composure and said, "Don't scare me. You are plotting to murder the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Aren't you afraid that the Duke's Mansion will be in trouble?"

"It seems that Miss Zhou hasn't figured out the current situation yet." Mu Yejun showed a charming and weird smile: "Who knew that I had been here? In other words, who would know that I killed Miss Zhou?" Looking at the dagger in his hand emitting a cold light, he said coldly.

"Dead men tell no secrets."

Zhou Yunxi finally understood the situation she was in. Mu Yejun did have a strong desire to kill her.

"Today... Today's events... Yunxi..."

Her mind raced, trying to think of an excuse to get rid of the dangerous person.

"Miss, you'd better go and thank your illegitimate fourth brother for not doing anything inappropriate towards Shen Shen. He is a smart man, not as stupid as you. Otherwise..."

Mu Yejun used a casual tone, as if he was chatting about the most relaxing topics with friends.

"This young master slaughtered the entire Duke's Mansion tonight."

Zhou Yunxi was somewhat surprised and doubtful: "I never thought that Second Young Master Mu also had a special liking for Second Miss Shen."

Mu Yejun glanced at her with disdain: "It has nothing to do with you. This matter will not end well. Blame it on Miss Zhou for provoking the wrong person."

“Second Master Mu wants... wants... something..." Zhou Yunxi swallowed nervously.

"Miss Zhou, tell me, if I were to destroy Miss Zhou's innocence... No. Wouldn't that make me look as stupid and dirty as you?"

Mu Yejun, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly half stood up, and put his handsome face close to Zhou Yunxi. He looked at her face with cold eyes, took out a dagger and kept wielding the sharp blade on her beautiful face.

"Women seem to care a lot about their appearance. What if Miss Zhou had multiple scars on her face? Would Zhu Yanxiao sympathize with you? Would he take you to Prince Zhong's mansion to be a concubine? In this case, I am too kind."

Feeling the cold touch of the dagger's blade against her skin and listening to the man's cold words, Zhou Yunxi was so scared that tears and snot were streaming down her face, and her clothes on her back were completely soaked with cold sweat.

"Second Master Mu, Mr. Mu Ye." Miss Zhou's body was shaking. She cried and begged, "Wuwuwu, please spare me, Second Master Mu. Yunxi knows she was wrong. Yunxi really knows she was wrong. Wuwuwu, Yunxi is sorry to Second Miss Shen. Yunxi is willing to kowtow to Second Miss Shen to make amends. Wuwuwu, Yunxi deserves death. Please, Second Master, spare Yunxi. Please spare me. Wuwuwu."

Mu Yejun was furious: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to kowtow to the gods and apologize?"

"Chi".

The sharp blade made a dull sound as it cut through the flesh. The sound was like the sound of autumn leaves lightly touching the ground, clear and brief.

Zhou Yunxi’s crying suddenly stopped, and she knelt on the white ground in a daze.

Then, she felt a strong stinging pain on her face. Then, warm liquid flowed out from the painful area. Zhou Yunxi raised her hand woodenly. "Tick, tick, tick." One drop, two drops, countless drops, the bright red blood flowed down her cheek into her palm.

Then it dripped from her palm onto the white ground. Suddenly, the ground was covered with red plum blossoms.

The man standing opposite had a blank expression on his face. He bent down and grabbed the dress of Zhou Yunxi, who was kneeling on the ground, and carefully wiped the blood off his beloved dagger. He also took a few glances at the wound that was bleeding profusely.

The wound was very long, passing through her entire face, extending diagonally from the left forehead to the right corner of her mouth. The skin and flesh were turned outward and the bone was visible.

Mu Yejun's eyes were bloodshot at this time. There was excitement flashing in his eyes as he stared at the wound, and he showed a satisfied smile.

"Miss Zhou, don't mention me to anyone, and don't attack Shenshen again, otherwise I will wipe out the entire Zhou family."

After saying that, he leaped towards the shadow inside the house and disappeared without a trace in front of Zhou Yunxi.

"Ah~~~~~"

In the silent night sky, in the inner courtyard of the Duke of Jing'an's mansion, a shrill scream was heard from the boudoir of the eldest daughter Zhou Yunxi.
