CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 371: BEATEN TO DEATH WITH STICKS!

Mrs. Wei Shen’s smile made Sheng Xueyi feel very uneasy.

Since her time travel, she had felt helpless many times, but none of those times had truly shaken her to the core. However, this time, Sheng Xueyi had a feeling that she might not have a way out.

"Madam, you have really wronged this young woman!"

Sheng Xueyi felt she had to make a desperate attempt to save herself; she didn’t want to die just yet.

She was a transmigrator, blessed with exceptional fortune.

She possessed a vision ahead of this era; she could make Daxia the most powerful kingdom in the world. She was too valuable!

Sheng Xueyi looked at Mrs. Wei Shen, took a deep breath, and said, "Madam, could you dismiss everyone? This young woman has important matters to report!"

"Important matters?"

"Dismiss everyone?"

Mrs. Wei Shen looked at Sheng Xueyi mockingly, "Didn’t you say you were wronged?"

"..."

Sheng Xueyi felt something was wrong; Mrs. Wei Shen seemed to have no regard for her at all.

"Madam, this young woman has a way to advance the Wei Family further!"

"If you just listen to this young woman, she can make the entire Daxia the sole dynasty under the heavens!"

"Nonsense!"

Before Sheng Xueyi could finish her speech, Mrs. Wei Shen interrupted with a cold shout.

She didn’t completely disbelieve Sheng Xueyi’s words.

However, even if everything Sheng Xueyi said was true, Mrs. Wei Shen had no intention of sparing her. Some things have a bottom line, and once crossed, they cannot be done.

Today, Sheng Xueyi arranged for someone to assassinate Yuan Bao; because Sheng Xueyi was useful, she chose to let it go, but what about next time? And the time after that?

No one can be that lucky all the time!

If the assassination arranged by Sheng Xueyi succeeded, she would never see Yuan Bao again!

What?

Yuan Bao is not her biological daughter, just a goddaughter?

Regardless of whether Yuan Bao is her goddaughter, even if Yuan Bao were just a maid by her side, Sheng Xueyi dared to arrange this assassination, which crossed her bottom line.

"Qiqi, take your sister Jiaojiao and go play!"

Mrs. Wei Shen suddenly looked at Wei Qiqi and Yuan Bao, signaling Wei Qiqi to take Yuan Bao away.

Seeing her mother’s stern face, Wei Qiqi naturally understood that her mother was about to deal with Sheng Xueyi, and immediately dragged Yuan Bao away.

After the two left, Mrs. Wei Shen gently waved her hand and said coldly, "Right here, beat her to death with a stick!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xueyi collapsed directly to the ground, and a large patch of the ground under her quickly became wet.

"No, madam, you can’t do this to me!"

"If you kill me, the Fourteenth Prince will certainly not let it go!"

"Madam, you are bringing disaster to the Wei Family!"

Out of fear, Sheng Xueyi lost control of her bladder, but quickly, under the threat of death, she began her last struggle, shouting out what she believed to be the strongest threat.

"Perhaps the Fourteenth Prince does favor you, but from the moment you instigated someone to assassinate my sister Jiaojiao, you were doomed not to survive!"

"Don’t say the Fourteenth Prince has returned to the capital, even if he were here, if I want to kill you, he can only watch!"

Mrs. Wei Shen was not joking, nor was she bluffing.

Certain things are a bottom line!

This bottom line is not only true for Mrs. Wei Shen but also applies to the entire noble echelon.

In Daxia, if nobles have conflicts, they can privately ask someone to mediate, or simply have a real weapon duel at the training ground.

Regardless of the outcome, both parties would at least have settled the enmity.

Perhaps there would still be resentment, but at least they would maintain surface harmony.

But if one side hires an assassin, then this is an immortal hatred!

Of course, if you can ensure the other party doesn’t find out, that’s your skill.

But the problem is, this is very hard to accomplish.

Even when the Star-picking Tower was still around, in Daxia, the enmities between nobles would never lead to hiring assassins unless it reached a life-and-death level.

Because once such a precedent is set, the whole world will be in chaos.

Today you kill me, tomorrow I kill him, the day after he kills him, all the nobles of Daxia would eventually be wiped out, wouldn’t they?

Thus, whether royal or noble, there was a consensus: conflicts were allowed, but they could not and should not engage in such disgraceful assassination dealings.

Not being discovered might be tolerable, but once discovered, the entire family would be implicated.

If Mrs. Wei Shen wanted to pursue Sheng Xueyi’s actions to the end, the entire Sheng Family could be destroyed.

However, Mrs. Wei Shen, being a woman, was not so vicious.

Moreover, Mrs. Wei Shen knew the relationship between Sheng Xueyi and the Sheng Family was not close; the assassination of Yuan Bao was a solo act by Sheng Xueyi.

The Wei Family’s female guards swiftly appeared and dragged Sheng Xueyi away.

"Mrs. Wu, send the signal!"

Seeing Mrs. Wei Shen’s determination, Sheng Xueyi realized she was likely not going to survive, and immediately shouted to Mrs. Wu.

Send the signal!

The signal was the signal for the Luo Net.

Sheng Xueyi’s idea was simple: since she couldn’t survive, no one else should fare well either.

What about the Wei Family?

Her Luo Net would eventually avenge her.

She was just leaving a step ahead!

However, despite Sheng Xueyi’s cries, Mrs. Wu did not move.

After being captured by the Wei Family’s female guards, Mrs. Wu’s hands were bound by strong tendons. Despite her formidable skills, she really couldn’t break free of these binds.

"Mrs. Wei Shen, you bitch!"

"I curse you!"

"None of you will die in peace!"

"Yuan Family’s little girl, just wait, I’ll be waiting for you in the underworld!"

As the Wei Family’s female guards’ sticks fell on Sheng Xueyi’s body, she let out cries of pain but didn’t forget to hurl curses and angry shouts.

Beside her, Chuntao and Mrs. Tian were already petrified with fear.

Paralyzed on the ground, they too lost control.

As someone who served Sheng Xueyi, Chuntao’s only thought was to follow her young lady in marriage, and then serve as a concubine to the son-in-law, hoping eventually to be promoted to a concubine and perhaps even bear a child if she were lucky.

She never imagined that her young lady would die even before marriage.

And now, she too was about to die!

Sheng Xueyi roared and wailed, but it was to no avail.

Her consciousness gradually blurred, and the memories she had forgotten finally resurfaced in her mind.

She was a transmigrator; she had died once, but she was reborn!

Yet now, she was about to die again!

Why? Why did heaven treat her this way?

Allowing her to time travel but not letting her live well?

She hated it!

If heaven were to give her another chance, she would never let these people off.

She would make sure to kill all, just like she had killed that vicious stepmother.

Especially Mrs. Wei Shen!

She was such a bitch, a bitch!

Clearly, they opened a store together, making a lot of money using her methods, yet now, for the sake of a bastard, she mercilessly wanted her dead!
