#39 · 39 of 359

Su Xi was easy to fool, but Madam Su might not be, so Su Luo decided to strike first and kill Nanny Gui to end it once and for all.

Anyway, given Nanny Gui's crimes and her past abuse of the original owner, she deserved to die long ago.

Furthermore, her death would remove one of Madam's right-hand women, making it much easier for her to act in the future.

This was a move that achieved multiple goals, so Su Luo didn't hesitate to kill Nanny Gui with a single palm strike.

However, Su Luo still spared the little servant girl, only knocking her unconscious.

Because she still had use for this girl; she counted on her to come out and testify later.

After dealing with these two, Su Luo moved quickly, her body darting past like lightning.

She rushed towards Su Jingyu's Qiankun Courtyard without stopping, her small body as light and agile as a civet cat.

Before long, she arrived at the Qiankun Courtyard.

Tonight, Su Jingyu did not go out but remained sitting in his room to Cultivate.

"Assassin!" Su Luo lowered her voice but deliberately shouted loudly.

She deliberately caused a commotion outside, letting everyone in the courtyard see a black shadow dash in.

"There's an assassin, catch the assassin!"

People kept following suit and shouting.

Su Jingyu frowned tightly, as this noise seriously disturbed his Cultivation.

However, the commotion outside seemed to be growing increasingly louder.

He had no choice but to stand up and walk outside.

And just as he walked out, Su Luo nimbly and quietly slipped into the inner chamber.

Looking at the empty inner chamber, a wicked, cold smile curled on her lips; she was truly, very much looking forward to the play that was about to unfold.

Su Jingyu, oh Su Jingyu, you were the one who chose to walk out and leave me an opportunity, so don't blame me when the time comes.

Su Luo quickly took out the small box from her bosom. After taking out the bottle of heavenly spirit water, she was about to close the box, but just at this moment—

By the bright candlelight, she saw an old piece of paper pressed under the box. She picked it up and found it to be something like a map, only the lines were crooked and not very clear.

Moreover, this map was not complete; it seemed to be only a quarter of the full map.

What kind of map was this? It was yellowed and seemed to be quite old. Su Luo frowned, a flash of doubt crossing her eyes.

However, since it was kept with the heavenly spirit water, it must be something good; she certainly couldn't let Su Jingyu benefit from it.

With the principle that not taking advantage of a freebie makes one a fool, Su Luo decisively tucked the map into her bosom.

Then she took off her night-traveling clothes, as well as her face mask and headscarf, and shoved them all, along with the brocade box, under the bed.

Her movements were very swift; it was all completed in a flash.

Looking at the night-traveling clothes shoved under the bed, with a little bit of black deliberately left exposed, Su Luo's lips curled into a cold smile.

Su Jingyu, is framing people fun? Then go ahead and play; I hope you don't play yourself to death this time, because your younger sister here still has fun tricks waiting for you.

Su Luo took one last look at the room, confirmed that she hadn't left any flaws, then jumped out of the window, her small body quickly vanishing into the dark night.

Meanwhile, after receiving Su Luo's signal, Nangong Liuyun quickly and spontaneously led the long, tail-like crowd following him to Su Jingyu's Qiankun Courtyard.

Since it was a frame-up, the play certainly had to be performed to the fullest.
