Chapter 1111: Chapter 1109: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity
This murderous intent once aroused, however, isn’t just about moving your lips and uttering a word to imdiately extinguish soone. Since it needs to be foolproof yet appear as an accident, a proper arrangent is naturally required.
At this precise mont, a third-class maid responsible for serving tea in the courtyard of the Eldest Lady Wu developed a rash all over her face and was moved out. A nanny, who was a fellow townsfolk of Nanny Wei and had so acquaintance, used a few silvers to insert her distant niece into this position. Her na was Cao Er, just as unremarkable as her na, she was honest and sincere, didn’t speak much, yet hardworking and diligent, the kind of maid the masters favored the most.
Within three days, Wufu received a piece of news; Nanny Wei’s eldest son had left the capital and sought out a rather second-rate killer organization called Lanting Tower.
"Lanting Tower?" Wufu’s lips curled into an elusive smile, yet that smile didn’t reach his eyes.
"It’s a small organization that has arisen in recent years, indulging in murder and robbery, sparing no evil, led by soone nad Lan Changtian," said Chi Liu.
"What business did they take on?" Wufu gently caressed the Callia in his hand, his voice both soft and cold.
It was indeed a very faint voice, but hearing it made Chi Liu shudder.
"Ten thousand taels of silver, the lives of the young lady and the madam," Chi Liu almost squeezed the words out of his throat.
"Madam Wang, how bold she is!" Jadeite coldly shouted, anger and surprise in her eyes, mixed with a trace of ruthlessness.
Chi Liu kept silent with his hands down, just stealing glances at Wufu.
Wufu, however, burst into laughter, saying, "So my little life is only worth five thousand taels? It’s truly disheartening."
"Young lady!" Jadeite was both amused and worried; at a ti like this, if it were another woman, upon hearing soone harbored murderous intent against them and even hired killers, they would have changed their face long ago, right?
But not her, she just casually brought up her own bounty, with such composure, that Madam Wang would probably be angry enough to cough up blood if she found out?
"Isn’t it so? Five thousand taels, is that all I’m worth?" Wufu’s expression was full of lancholy.
Chi Liu spoke up: "Wei Da told Lanting Tower they were rely two won with no background, unable even to truss a chicken, so..."
When overhearing this from Lanting Tower, Chi Liu was quite speechless, Wufu unable to truss a chicken? Was it the sa person he knew?
"Young lady, should I go take care of her?" Jadeite coldly requested, daring to harbor murderous intent against her young lady, was seeking death.
Wufu said, "It seems Madam Wang truly despises us mother and daughter, going so far as to hire killers. Tch, tch, Jadeite, look, that’s what you call prevention before the fact. No, eradicating troubles permanently."
Indeed, a lady born of a noble family is ruthless enough, resorting to taking lives at a drop of a hat!
"So young lady, are you still going to be courteous with her?"
Wufu rolled her eyes at her: "With my little life being targeted, why should I be courteous? But, as for Lanting Tower, just let them go, send a ssage to Chi Er and Purple Jade, let them spar with Lanting Tower, and make sure Madam isn’t startled. As for Lanting Tower, record a ssage, retain the evidence of Madam Wang hiring killers for ."
"Yes, young lady." Jadeite was faintly excited, then added: "Young lady, just like that?"
"To not reciprocate would be against courtesy. Since she wants to play, then let’s entertain her," Wufu serenely said. "Hasn’t Lu Xiaodie over there yet figured anything out, let her mother go to Madam Wang. Before that, give her sothing easy to hallucinate on, maybe there’ll be so gain."
This era, aren’t people most afraid of ghosts and gods? Let’s see what Madam Wang might spit out.
