Chapter 278: Poison, Antidote, and Letter (3)
*Yawn*
"Hey, where should we find that thing?" the voice of a woman traveled from the door.
Ye Jiao was still hiding under the bed’s curtain as she watched expressionlessly. This was not the first ti she had to hide when there were so enemies close to her, though she couldn’t say that she liked the experience.
"It’s on the table," The second woman replied with her clear voice.
"Oh."
The two of them moved slowly. Probably because they thought that there was no one there who would watch them, so they didn’t really care that their work’s speed dropped. Under the bed, Ye Jiao thought about the items on Chen Tian’s table. There were only so papers and tools that she didn’t know the use for.
"Is this all?"
"I think so. His Majesty just needs the tools because he wants to write an edict, right?"
"Yeah," The second woman sighed. It was clear that she sounded tired. "In any case, we need to make sure that he won????t ask us to return back again. Walking back and forth can be tiring."
The first woman laughed. "Just treat it as practice. Co on, he’s waiting."
"Yes."
The two won scurried away. Under the bed, Ye Jiao waited for a mont before she slipped out from under the bed’s curtains. Her eyes showed a ruthless glint for a mont because she could guess that Chen Tian wanted to make edict about Lu Wan.
Probably, he wanted to claim that Lu Wan was already under him and so on.
’He’s so hateful.’
Pushing the thoughts to the back, Ye Jiao scurried to the side and focused her attention to the box that she held in her hand.
Ye Jiao utilized her Eon Energy out of her fingertip into the lock’s hole. Using her Eon Energy, she investigated the size of the lock and put the tals into the place as if there was a key inserted. By manipulating the movents of the energy, Ye Jiao opened the lid of the box effortlessly. This was one of the thods she learned during a mission because sotis, she needed to open locked doors or others.
It seed that an assassin’s profession was truly useful.
"Bottle and letter?"
She had expected that Chen Tian must have kept the antidote for the poison. As she looked at the label, she knew that she was correct. However, she didn’t expect this man to keep so letters in this box too.
’What is this?"
Ye Jiao pulled one of the letters out. She could see so neat handwriting inside as she started to read the content. In the middle of reading, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Chen Tian... I’ll kill you," she muttered with gritted teeth.
’....It has been a long ti you keep Ye Ai Xia alive. They’re dissatisfied with the luxury that Wei Family provides her, so you should take more caution. We, Su Family, will only send you more people after we ensure that Su Lian will be the only legal wife of Wei Family....’
Murderous intent flashed inside Ye Jiao’s eyes as she could see that the Su Family had been giving a lot of things and the Chen Family along with the Wei Family worked together to make her family’s life miserable. From the list of items at the bottom of the letter, she knew that the Su Family hated her mother very much.
She had known that Wei Shang wanted her mother because he fancied her, but she didn’t expect Su Lian to be this ruthless too. Ye Jiao took the other letters, reading so of them as her blood began to boil in anger.
’...Su Family had just finished our exploration. Whatever you want, you can have it as long as you can keep Ye Xiao in check. We’ll pay a visit if it’s possible in the future to destroy his dream once more. Rember, you have to make sure that he will never forget her....’
’...The poison is complete. We also have received the paynt for the special poison you ordered. If you want to get a man following after a woman’s order, you can use this. The thod will be told by Advisor.....’
Aside from so jumbled and incomplete information, the rest of the letter all contained thods that they proposed to make her mother’s life worse.
Bam!
Ye Jiao slamd the letter back into the box. Her eyes glead with hatred as she took out a small bottle and poured a bit of the antidote inside. Her hands were shaking out of anger.
"Calm down, Ye Jiao... getting angry won’t do you any good," Ye Jiao cald herself down by muttering under her breath. Her eyes were still gleaming in anger, but her hands slowly stopped shaking.
Ye Jiao slowly put the bottle inside the box and used her Eon Energy to lock it back again. There were still a lot of letters inside, but she doubted that she would be able to contain her anger if she read them. Just one was already more than enough to make her angry.
’Also, who’re ’they’ that the letter ntioned?’
The letter said that ’they’ have been impatient with the Wei Family. She could guess the reason, but she chose not to think in that direction too much. From that one word, she knew that there was soone else who wished for the downfall of her family.
As she thought about that, Ye Jiao’s eyes flashed in ruthlessness.
She knew.
Her life would never be in peace if those people tried to chase after her again, whether it was because of her mother or father.
While she was contemplating, Ye Jiao suddenly heard the sound of rustling from outside. She swiftly moved to the door and used her Eon Energy to probe around. Sensing the rapid movents of the guards, she smirked.
’Senior Brother Qi Huan had started to move. I better hurry.’
As soon as she no longer sensed anything moving in close range, Ye Jiao opened the door and darted out of the quarter.
