Chapter 1050: Escape I

“Yuan’er, this marquis is aware of everything.” Zheng Tianwu stopped and looked at Lady Yuan’s pitiful figure. Fury quickly filled his heart and as he spoke with a sharp glare. “Guards! Go and investigate immediately, who was it that has caused Mu Yu’s death! No matter who it is, you absolutely cannot let him off!”
Lady Yuan sniffled and leaned against Zheng Tianwu’s chest. Her charming face was like a vixen’s, but because of the tears that covered her face, she looked even more endearing.
“Marquis, this matter was obviously supposed to be handled by Housekeeper Tian Qi. Why did he make Elder Brother go? Housekeeper Tian Qi was the one who has approached Elder Brother. Elder Brother had willingly gone to the beast forest. I don’t know what had happened exactly, but I have no parents and only an elder brother. Without him, how am I going to survive?”
Lady Yuan’s breathing seemed erratic and her hand was placed on her chest. She was panting after every sentence and she was sobbing. Her face pale.
Zheng Tianwu’s face was cold as he shouted, “Guards! Put Tian Qi into the prison!”
“Marquis!”
Everyone’s face paled in surprise and they quickly kneeled down and cried out hoarsely, “Marquis, Housekeeper Tian Qi has always been loyal to Marquis. He would never plot against Lord Mu. Please investigate clearly!”
“I do not care whether or not he has had intentions to plot against Mu Yu. If killing him would make Yuan’er happy, then his life is worth it!”
These people in the marquis’ manor had always been loyal to a fault toward Zheng Tianwu. But now, seeing that he had been ensnared by a woman, their eyes subconsciously turned red as they glared at Lady Yuan fiercely in anger.
First was the marchioness, then the marchioness’ elder brother. After that was the housekeeper and now even Housekeeper Tian Qi…
It was unknown how many loyal subjects of the marquis’ manor were lost because of this woman!
This woman was a vixen who had destroyed countries and brought harm to the citizens! She had charmed the marquis into a mess and was now causing the death of the marquis’ manor’s loyal subjects without a qualm.
“Marquis, this servant knows that anything I say will be useless, but I hope that you will listen to my last words of advice. Don’t listen to this vixen’s lies anymore. Otherwise, the marquis’ manor will surely perish. Hahaha!”
Saying this bit, the man stood up and determinedly committed suicide by smashing his own head against a rock nearby.
Fresh blood oozed from his brain, spilling onto the floor.
Zheng Tianwu did not even glance at him. He simply waved his hand and complained, “Drag him out to the mass grave post. Yuan’er is so beautiful and gentle, how would it be possible for her to possess a venomous and murderous heart? All who slander her deserve to die!”
Lady Yuan buried her head in Zheng Tianwu’s embrace, her body trembling. Her hand tightly clenched into a fist, fingers digging into the palm of her hands.
These few people’s death was no big deal.
Sir Ye’s family of over five hundred people, all dead!
In a single night, the luxurious manor had turned into ashes, burnt to the ground.
Therefore, it did not matter how many people died in the marquis’ manor. She would never feel guilty.
Because these people—they all deserved death!
***
In jail.
A man’s hands were nailed to the wall. His lips cracked most likely because he had not had water in a long time.
Creak.
The jail door was pushed open and a beauty dressed in a long green dress entered.
This beauty was extremely beautiful. There was a beauty mark on her forehead, making her look even more beautiful—enough to destroy countries and devastate citizens.
The man saw the beauty entering with the help of the little light that spilled in through the open door. His heart leaped with joy as he spoke with a dry voice, “Lady Yuan, I did not harm Lord Mu. I really didn’t harm him!”
The door of the jail then locked again.
