Old Master Jiang rushed home in a rage.
“Old Gong, you’ve really gone too far!” Old Master Jiang’s face was livid as he cursed, “Who do you think you are?” He was embarrassed.
He hadn’t even stepped through the Gong family’s front door before he was chased away.
The Gong family obviously still held a grudge against old master Jiang for almost killing Xiao Lingyu back then.
Old Master Jiang was shameless enough to come to the Gong Family. Of course, Old Master Gong wasn’t that generous to let him in.
“Old Gong, what’s so great about your granddaughter-in-law?” Old Master Jiang snorted. “Your grandson is marrying a village girl, but my grandson is marrying the daughter of the Leng family. Clearly, I’m the winner here!”
Old Master Gong didn’t care about Old Master Jiang’s curses. That day, Old Master Gong basically told the whole capital that he loved his granddaughter-in-law, Xiao Lingyu, a lot. He also made everyone understand that Xiao Lingyu was the founder of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh brand.
Plus, he didn’t give the things to the Leng and Li families for free. He wanted to use them as free promotion. Just the health wine alone would attract many people’s attention. The Taoyuan Village fruit wine could strengthen one’s body. Many powerful people wanted the health-preserving effects. Now that these elders had the status, they were only after a healthy body.
Old Master Gong sat proudly on the recliner in the courtyard and instructed happily, “Arrange everything properly. We can’t afford to miss anything. We’re going to welcome the eldest young madam back to the Gong family.”
“Yes, Old Master!”
When Gong Tianhao returned home, he saw how busy the servants were. He thought for a moment before walking up to old master Gong and saying, “Grandfather, I have something very important to tell you!”
Seeing his grandson’s serious expression, Old Master Gong’s expression turned serious as well. He stood up and said, “Let’s go to the study!”
When they reached the study, Gong Tianhao immediately closed the door and said very seriously, “Grandfather, we’ve found the person who has been scheming against us behind our backs. It’s Leng Piaoxue!”
“Are you sure?” Old Master Gong asked.
“Yes, I’m sure!” Gong Tianhao said, “We took Xiao Ling flying around the city. Then, he found the villa that belongs to Leng Piaoxue. The place reeks of spiritual energy. Our people have investigated in secret. Leng Piaoxue has been living in that villa, and a lot of people come and go. Leng Piaoxue has been hiding there for three days already. However, there has been constantly shrill screaming coming from her room. It was terrifying.”
“Shrill screams?” Old Master Gong frowned. “Is that girl from the Leng family torturing someone?” She was even more ruthless than the Qin family’s girl.
Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “No. The screams probably came from Leng Piaoxue herself. It should be the effect of the backlash.”
“Backlash?” Old Master Gong was a little puzzled.
“Yes. Xiao Ling said that an immortal couldn’t harm a mortal, much less kill them. If they did, they’d be punished by the Heavenly Dao and suffer a backlash.” Gong Tianhao said, “I think Leng Piaoxue used her invisibility technique to kill Bai Shanshan to silence her. Bai Shanshan was a mortal, so Leng Piaoxue is suffering the consequences now.”
Old Master Gong nodded and said, “Understood. Now that you’ve found the culprit, what are your plans? Are you going to kill Leng Piaoxue?”
Gong Tianhao said, “Grandfather, I’m still not sure if Leng Piaoxue’s actions were her own or if the Leng family was involved. However…” Gong Tianhao hesitated for a moment, “Leng Piaoxue is grandfather Leng’s most beloved granddaughter and also the precious treasure of the Leng family. If I kill Leng Piaoxue directly, I’m slightly worried that the Leng family will choose to take revenge. I’m not worried about their revenge. I’m just afraid that they will target Yu ‘Er and Tong Tong.”
Old Master Gong said, “So, you can’t even protect your wife and child? Leng Piaoxue is clearly after Yu ‘Er. If you don’t kill her, you’re really placing Yu ‘Er and Tong Tong in danger.
“Leng Piaoxue has an immortal artifact in her hands and can use the invisibility spell! Plus, she has learned her lesson this time. She’ll order people to kill Yu ‘Er next time. Oh, the last time Yu ‘Er came to the capital, she was almost killed. Was the culprit Leng Piaoxue too?”
“Yes, it was her!” Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “With a direction, everything else is easy to investigate.”
“Then why did she send Bai Shanshan to change her appearance into Weng Jingjing?” Old Master Gong asked in confusion, “Why is she so familiar with Weng Jingjing? What is her real purpose? Have you investigated all of this?”
Gong Tianhao frowned and said, “These are still under investigation.”
“Hmph!” Old Master Gong snorted in dissatisfaction, “Why are you so useless?”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
“Then what plan do you have now?” Old Master Gong asked.
“My plan is…”
…
After killing who knew how many people, she finally managed to find a suitable wig. However, compared to her own hair, it was horrid.
But what could she do? She was bald. She had to wear the wig for some time if she didn’t want others to find out. If others noticed she was bald, she would break down.
After she got the wig, Leng Piaoxue looked at her blood-stained body and face. She calmed down and needed to tidy herself up. She went to the bathroom to take a shower.
However, when the hot water washed away the blood stains on her body, she realized that something was wrong.
Why did her skin feel rough and bumpy?
She immediately had a bad feeling. Then, she stood before the bathroom mirror and took a look. After that, she covered her mouth in fear and screamed loudly.
“No, no, this can’t be me!” She could no longer accept this.
She was bald. Her face and her body were full of potholes. It was too ugly and too terrifying.
“How could this be?” Leng Piaoxue smashed the bathroom mirror with one punch. The broken mirror broke into more than ten pieces, and each piece reflected her ugly appearance.
“No…” she hugged her head, covered her ears, and screamed, “I’m not bald, I’m not pockmarked, I’m not that ugly!”
She squatted in the bathroom, covered her ears, and suddenly thought of something. She quickly ran out of the bathroom, ran straight to a place, picked up the red rope on the ground, and shouted,
“Immortal, tell me, this is temporary, right? I’ll be beautiful again soon, right? Say something… I don’t want to be an ugly freak.”
No matter how much Leng Piaoxue asked or begged, the red rope did not make any movement. It was just an ordinary red rope.
Leng Piaoxue collapsed on the ground and began to cry loudly.
The bodyguards and servants outside had already gotten used to the various cries that came from inside from time to time. They were mournful, sad, terrified, in pain, and in despair.
However, no matter what, they did not dare to come forward and show any concern because if they did, they would be killed.
Leng Piaoxue collapsed to the ground and cried loudly. A thought kept running through her mind, ‘without my looks, I might as well die.’
Then, she stood up and walked to her dressing table. She opened the bottom drawer and revealed a black pistol!
She picked up the pistol, loaded it, and pointed it at her head.
Just as she was about to shoot, the phone on the dressing table suddenly rang.
When she saw the caller ID, her pupils constricted.
