Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 474 - 473: Jiyin Village Cannot Remain

The person who was mumbling to themselves did not look up, continuing to speak.

Shen Chen’s face grew even gloomier. Seeing the young girl still chattering incessantly, he interrupted her, "In your heart, am I such a person? Who bears grudges, and also likes Liu Qingxi? If I were to be conferred a title and office in the future, would I look down on others?" He had never imagined that he appeared like this in her heart...

Ye Zhi looked up.

Seeing the gloominess written all over his face, she scratched her head sowhat embarrassedly, "No, I was just overthinking."

In "Concubine’s Favor," the depiction of the Little Traitor’s character was exactly that: vindictive, penny-pinching, and also fond of Liu Qingxi. You really can’t bla her for thinking that...

However, she understood that while books are static, people are dynamic, and emotions can change; not everything follows the book precisely.

For example, the Little Traitor liking her was such a case.

When they approached Kangliang Bridge, they encountered Ming Yan hurriedly leading a large group from the Ye Mansion.

The Ye Family hastened forward, inspecting their younger daughter from all angles. Only after confirming she was unhard did they breathe a sigh of relief, saying with lingering fear, "Ah Zhi, thank goodness you’re alright. When Ming Yan ca back to the mansion and inford us, your mother was scared to death. Luckily, she t Xiao Chen first, who arrived before us, easing your mother’s heart slightly."

Ye Zhi’s eyes crinkled with a smile, "Mother, what could happen to ? I’ve learned martial arts."

The water shimred like quicksilver, lights dimly flickering in the distance.

At Kangliang Bridge, a dozen or so Ye Mansion guards, along with Ye Yuan, Xun Yin, and others, blocked the bridge.

The Ye Family sternly said, "Didn’t your mother tell you to be good and kind to people? I disagreed when you wanted to learn martial arts. You’re strong-willed, prone to clashes, and fond of resolving them with force, which brought on this disaster. Before marrying Xiao Chen, you must stay ho and learn embroidery, and are not to leave the Ye Mansion."

"Indeed, listen to your mother. This ti, your father also stands by her side," Ye Yuan supported his wife this ti.

The villagers wanting to cross the bridge saw it blocked.

Standing at the back, they shouted, "Make way, we need to cross the bridge."

Understanding her parents’ usual ways, Ye Zhi pulled her mother in the direction of the Ye Mansion, "Mother, I know I was wrong. Let’s discuss this at ho. I’m also a victim, right? Think about it, if I hadn’t known martial arts, I might be dead, and you wouldn’t be seeing now."

"So please don’t lecture anymore."

The Ye Family spit lightly and motioned to pinch their youngest daughter’s ear, "Phew, phew, phew, dead is such an unlucky word, don’t go saying it casually. You’re not allowed to leave ho until after your coming-of-age ceremony."

That night.

Shen Chen stood in Tingling Garden, listening to Qin Yin delivering the report of his findings.

Jiyin Village, is it?

A flicker of murderous intent flashed across his deep, cold face. Tonight was the first ti he had killed soone. When those three n pursued Ah Zhi with their long knives, he acted without hesitation.

Fortunately, she had learned Qinggong. Otherwise, falling into the hands of those three, who knows...

He did not wish to think further.

"Mr. Shen, Jiyin Village accepted silver. This failure will certainly lead them to return with renewed vengeance. If a solution isn’t found, Miss Ah Zhi may not be so fortunate next ti."

Qin Yin stood in the garden, lowered his long lashes, and offered a kind reminder.

Shen Chen nodded, saying indifferently, "Mm, I understand. Find out where their hideout is. As it happens, the Chengque Sword has not tasted blood since it ca into my possession."

Jiyin Village’s people oppressed the weak and were mostly desperados, undeserving of life.

"Yes." Qin Yin was sowhat concerned if they could stand against Jiyin Village.

However, he was mistaken; it wasn’t them—Shen Chen planned to go alone.

Half a month later, during a night of the dark moon and high winds, Shen Chen, clad in black, wielding the Chengque Sword, stord into the mountain estate where Jiyin Village was hidden, killing most of them.
