Although Chu Qianli’s reputation was terrible, her face was undeniably the most beautiful in the entire imperial city.
Especially now, with her clothes disheveled and her collar slightly open.
The crimson wedding gown further highlighted the small section of her neck that was exposed, making it appear like snow against frost.
Her crystal-clear skin, at a single glance, was enough to send men into a state of intoxicating infatuation!
Faced with such beauty, what man could resist?
After closing the door, the two men in black, without the slightest hesitation, lunged at Chu Qianli.
Qianli narrowed her eyes, her hands, bound to the stake, instantly tightened.
In the face of desperation, her mind raced:
“If only I had a dagger in hand right now…”
Unexpectedly, the moment this thought flashed in her mind, a dagger appeared in her hand.
With no time to ponder where the dagger came from, Chu Qianli furrowed her brow and twisted her wrist.
With a *shing*, the ropes binding her wrists were easily severed.
A flash of the blade, and one of the black-clad men lunging forward clutched his neck and fell straight down, his eyes wide with an unfulfilled death!
The other black-clad man was utterly shocked.
After gasping for air, the man in black struck at Chu Qianli with a palm.
To his surprise, Chu Qianli shifted her weight, spun, and raised her leg.
With a *bang*, she effortlessly kicked the man in black to the ground.
Before the man in black could even get up, he felt a sharp pain at his neck. Chu Qianli’s dagger was already pressed against his carotid artery.
“W-Wangfei, spare my life!” The man in black stiffened with fear.
The seventh daughter of the Duke’s mansion, everyone knew she had been pampered since childhood, a useless waste?
How did her martial arts become so formidable?
“Who sent you to kill me? Speak!” Chu Qianli pressed down, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on the man’s neck.
“Wangfei, spare my life! It… it was the Prince, it was the Prince who ordered us… Ah! Ah…”
The man in black clutched his face and fell to the ground. His ear… his ear had been sliced off by Chu Qianli’s blade.
This Xuan Wangfei was truly ruthless…
Chu Qianli stepped on him and snorted, “If Feng Yexuan had sent you, why would he need to be so secretive?”
They even wanted to humiliate her!
No matter how incompetent Feng Yexuan was, he wouldn’t order someone to humiliate his own wife.
Did these two still think she was the same foolish seventh daughter as before?
“I’ll ask you one more time, who sent you to kill me? Will you speak?”
She raised her hand, the knife pressing against the man in black’s other ear.
The man in black was so terrified his soul almost flew away.
Where had the former useless seventh daughter gone?
The woman before her was calm, ferocious, and ruthless! She was simply a devil!
“I… I’ll say it, I’ll say it… Ugh–”
Just as the man in black was about to confess, his face suddenly turned green, and his body began to convulse violently.
He died, poisoned to death!
Chu Qianli’s gaze deepened. She kicked the man in black’s corpse aside, dropped the dagger, and left the woodshed.
Someone in this manor wanted her dead!
Feng Jinrui was merely an innocent pawn.
One plan failed, another would follow!
Unfortunately, she was no longer the incompetent seventh daughter who could be slaughtered at will.
She, Chu Qianli, the number one person on the Wolf Domain’s power ranking, would not be bullied so easily!
She had to find out who was behind this!
And now, with Cui’er dead, Feng Jinrui had become the most crucial witness.
Taking advantage of the night, Chu Qianli ascended to the roof of Feng Jinrui’s chambers.
Feng Jinrui’s condition had stabilized slightly. To avoid disturbing his rest, only a physician was inside the room, attending to him.
Chu Qianli lifted a roof tile and, seeing the physician’s needling technique, immediately frowned.
A quack! With such needling, the person might live, but their cultivation would be utterly ruined!
She leaped down and knocked out the physician from behind.
Using the physician’s silver needles, she changed the technique.
With a swift hand, more than a dozen silver needles were instantly placed on Feng Jinrui’s acupoints.
“If there were a Heart-Saving Pill, his heart脉 would recover faster.”
Miraculously, the moment she thought this, a Heart-Saving Pill actually appeared in her hand.
Chu Qianli picked up the Heart-Saving Pill, sniffed it, and confirmed it was correct. She immediately pried open Feng Jinrui’s mouth and fed it to him.
“…Wicked woman.” Feng Jinrui slowly woke up, and upon seeing her, his face filled with hatred.
“I saved you, and you still call me a wicked woman?”
Chu Qianli snorted coldly, “If I didn’t need you to prove my innocence, do you think I would have come here?”
Feng Jinrui glared at her, his eyes full of rage, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
His meridians ached terribly!
But he knew that, just now, it was this wicked woman who had saved him!
Chu Qianli glanced at him sideways, “I didn’t drug you. Who did you see before you met me?”
“I…”
Before Feng Jinrui could finish speaking, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the door.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in.
A dignified and elegant woman rushed forward, “Bitch, why are you here? Are you trying to harm my Rui’er again!”
