"Cousin, take me away. I can't stay here for another moment. I want to recover my health and then get revenge!" Qian Le'er tried to stand up on her own.
However, just like before, her legs were too weak to support her.
She had no choice but to ask Qiu Lu for help.
Qiu Lu looked at Qian Le'er as if he were stunned, his eyes wide with shock.
Fortunately, his reaction wasn't too slow, and he quickly went to support Qian Le'er. "Let's go. I have a courtyard of my own in the capital. You can stay there and be safe. I'll arrange for someone to protect you and buy two maids to take care of you. Le'er, listen to me, don't overthink things."
Qian Le'er pursed her lips and nodded in agreement. "I'll listen to you. However, you don't need to find anyone to serve me. I can take care of myself."
If she couldn't come down from the clouds now, she would never be able to avenge herself!
Besides, she didn't want more people to know about her affairs.
She was afraid that Yun Shu would look at her with pity, and she feared others would do the same.
She didn't need anyone's pity now.
Seeing that Qian Le'er wasn't intending to die, Qiu Lu let her have her way and didn't insist.
As long as she didn't talk about dying, that was fine.
Everything could still be dealt with.
As they reached the door, Qian Le'er stopped in front of Yun Shu, looking at her with a hint of apology. "I'm sorry. It was my fault before."
"It's nothing," Yun Shu replied.
Qian Le'er knew that she had gone too far in the past.
As she stepped out of the dilapidated temple, she saw the beggars lying not far away, and two assassins watching her, preventing her from ending her own life.
Her emotions surged again, and she stared at them with wide, burning eyes.
The scenes of her humiliation and pleas replayed before her.
No matter what she said, they ignored her.
Her eyes were filled with ferocious hatred. "Help me over there. I want to take revenge with my own hands! I want to take revenge with my own hands!"
Qiu Lu saw that her state was somewhat frantic and said worriedly, "Let me go. Leave it to me to handle. I will absolutely not let them leave here alive."
"No! I'll go! I want to do it myself," Qian Le'er glared intently at those people.
Qiu Lu was about to try and persuade her again when Yun Shu suddenly spoke, "Qiu Lu, let her go." She believed that Qian Le'er's state of mind was different now. Since she had decided to seek revenge, she would definitely not lose her will to live just by seeing the few people who had hurt her.
If that were the case, even if Qian Le'er left here today, she would still find an opportunity to end her own life later.
"Yes."
Qiu Lu helped Qian Le'er walk over.
At this moment, Qian Le'er's mind was a thunderous roar.
Everything around her seemed to fall silent, only her blood was boiling, roaring.
The hatred kept leaping.
Telling her to kill them, to kill them all!
She gritted her teeth tightly. When she reached them, she looked at the beggars. These beggars had been tormenting her almost every day for the past few days, and they did it in every imaginable way!
"Give me a sword!"
Qiu Lu hesitated for a moment before handing the sword to Qian Le'er.
The moment Qian Le'er received the sword, she struck.
With every sword thrust, she stabbed the unconscious beggars, crippling them all. She didn't let them die, but she wanted to make them incapable of being men!
They could have stood by and watched!
But they had come to torment her endlessly!
Qian Le'er's face was covered in blood, but she was not afraid. She then looked at the two assassins!
Her eyes were filled with hatred. It was all because of them!
They were the ones who killed her parents and the people in the village!
She wouldn't let them die so easily!
Once again, she struck.
The two assassins had their leg and hand tendons severed. They were also crippled and unable to be men. She thought about how they had stopped her from biting her lip to end her life, dislocating her jaw and causing her so much pain for so many days!
She then used the sword to churn inside their mouths.
After finishing, she could no longer hold on and fainted.
"Le'er!" Qiu Lu cried out in alarm.
Yun Shu's voice was calm. "She has only fainted. It's nothing. Her body needs good recuperation."
...
Two hours later.
A carrier pigeon flew in.
It entered one of the palaces and landed in the hand of a woman who was resting on a lounge chair with her eyes closed.
Jiang Luo Xi opened her eyes and looked at the pigeon in her palm.
She took the letter from the pigeon.
Upon seeing the content of the letter, Jiang Luo Xi frowned, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She blurted out, "Useless!"
A bunch of good-for-nothings!
So many people together still couldn't accomplish anything!
She could imagine who had rescued Qian Le'er.
Those assassins were all meticulously trained and cultivated with great expense. Yet, they had suffered consecutive losses during this period.
A hint of ferocity flickered in Jiang Luo Xi's eyes.
After pondering for a moment, she got up from the rattan chair and walked to the desk. She wrote a line of characters before placing it back on the pigeon's leg.
After the pigeon flew away.
A hawk suddenly swooped down from the sky.
Upon seeing the pigeon, the hawk, as if suddenly hungry, bit the pigeon's neck with its sharp beak.
Then it flew out of the imperial palace.
Soon, it arrived at the General's residence.
The three little ones were stunned to see the hawk flying back.
"Xiao Jing, didn't you tell it to go to the imperial palace? Why did it fly back? And it even brought back a pigeon? Could it be that it didn't understand what you meant?" Zhan Xiao Feng asked Yun Xiao Jing, dumbfounded, as he saw the hawk return.
Yun Xiao Jing shook his head, his eyes fixed on the pigeon. "No, it wouldn't. I've asked it to help me many times before, and it has never made a mistake."
He picked up the pigeon with his small hands and looked it over.
Finally, he took a note from its leg.
"Huh? This is a carrier pigeon, specifically used for sending letters," Zhan Xiao Li said, examining it closely. He recognized it as a pigeon capable of carrying messages.
Yun Xiao Jing nodded. "I know too. Let's see what it says."
He handed the note to Zhan Xiao Li. Among the three brothers, Li knew more characters than them.
Zhan Xiao Li took it and carefully read the contents of the letter.
"It says, 'Useless people, die'," Zhan Xiao Li read out after finishing.
Yun Xiao Jing's eyes rolled around, then he stood up and said, "Let's go show it to Mother!"
"Then, are we still going to let the hawk bully the bad woman?" Zhan Xiao Feng, who was eagerly wanting to punish the bad woman to avenge their great-grandfather, asked.
"Bully her! Of course, we will bully her! Besides the hawk, there's also the little snake. The little snake has already crawled into the palace, and no one can find it!" Yun Xiao Jing giggled. He had made backup plans! He was sure nothing would go wrong!
He kept the matter of bullying the bad woman to avenge their great-grandfather in his heart!
This was just the beginning. When he saw her, he would throw poisonous spiders onto her!
Ideally, they would poison her to death!
Zhan Xiao Feng was relieved when he heard this. "I also need to find a way to put some poison powder on her!"
The three little ones each had their own plans.
They would all make their own efforts to avenge their great-grandfather!
