Chapter 227

Do You Want to Kill Me?

At this moment, the handsome face of Yue Wang slightly paled, his clear and cold eyes closed . The cold aura around him was no longer there . On the contrary, it gave off a feeling that he was a little weak .

“I can’t believe that when I saw you before, you were still as cold and chilly as a blade’s edge . But now, you’re showing such a weak expression?”

Yue Wang seems to have fallen into a dream . The more he frowns, the tighter his brow is, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, making him so restless .

Mu Yunyao hurriedly bent over and approached him, “Fourth Master Ning? Fourth Master?” Yue Wang suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Mu Yunyao’s neck, pressing her down onto the bed . Those eyes were cold and empty, without the slightest emotion as he coldly stared at Mu Yunyao . Boundless killing intent surged out like a mountain, as if the next moment, he would put the person in his hand to death .

Mu Yunyao’s face flushed red . She tried to break Yue Wang’s arm but discovered that his hand was as hard as steel, and it was impossible to move it by relying on her strength . “ Fourth Master . . . cough cough … Ning Junyue!”

Yue Wang suddenly recovered his senses, the killing intent in his body retreated like a flood . He raised his hand fiercely and released Mu Yunyao .

“Cough cough …” The choking made Mu Yunyao’s vision darken as she covered her chest and coughed . Her body was so soft that she didn’t have the slightest bit of strength to move it .

Mu Yunyao gasped for breath before gradually calming down, “If you want to kill me, then merely give me instructions . Why do you have to do it yourself?”

“Why would I want to kill you? Just now, I…, I don’t know what’s going on either . . . ” Yue Wang was at a loss for what to do, and when he looked carefully at Mu Yunyao, he noticed that a purplish-blue handprint had left on her neck, which was particularly shocking on her white skin .

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses . She discovered that she was actually half-leaning against Yue Wang’s chest . She hurriedly struggled to get up, but after standing up, she found that her legs had gone soft, so she fell back again .

“Are you alright?” Yue Wang reached out and grabbed her arm, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across her wrist . His eyebrows suddenly tightened, “Why is there a purple mark on your wrist too?”

Mu Yunyao was upset . Just now, the ice-cold killing intent from Yue Wang made her suddenly recall her previous life, and the dense shadow made her feel as if she was drowning in a cold pond . No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape . Her voice is a bit worse when she replied: “Don’t you think those purple marks are familiar?”

Yue Wang looked at her carefully, his fingers carefully wrapping around her wrist: “Was it me who pinched it?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at Yue Wang, hatred flashing through her eyes . “It’s not enough to kill me once, but you still want to kill me a second time?”

“Yunyao … . ” Yue Wang’s susceptible senses caught sight of that trace of hatred and felt a terrible pain in his heart .

“Yunyao … . ” Yue Wang’s susceptible senses caught sight of that trace of hatred and felt a terrible pain in his heart .

Mu Yunyao suddenly regained her senses and hurriedly calmed herself down . She stood up and tidied up her sleeves and skirt, “Just now, Fourth Master must have had a nightmare . Now that you have woken up, and nothing serious has happened . Steward Qin has gone down to cook medicine . You can have a rest after taking medicine . ”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to . ”

“I know . Fourth Master, you don’t need to worry about it . You’ve already woken up, so I don’t need to stay any longer . Goodbye . ”

“Wait a minute,” Yue Wang stood up and stood in front of Mu Yunyao . His gaze swept across the wounds on her wrist and neck, and he couldn’t help but tremble . “I …”

He felt that he should say something, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he didn’t know how to explain them . Especially the hatred that flashed across Mu Yunyao’s eyes, it made him feel stuck in his throat . Was it because of the forced questioning, or was it because of something else?

“Fourth Master, I was scared just now, so please forgive me for my harsh word . ” Mu Yunyao bent down to pay her respects . Just as she was about to turn around and walk out, she saw blood dripping onto the ground . “Your wound?”

Only then did Yue Wang feel a heart-wrenching pain from his back . He quickly shook his body, and his face became even paler: “It must have torn apart …”

Mu Yunyao wanted to turn around and leave, but when she saw Yue Wang’s appearance, she even found it hard to take a step . “Fourth Master, sit properly to the side . I’ll take a look for you . ”

Yue Wang hurriedly nodded his head: “Alright . ” After opening the gauze behind her, Mu Yunyao took a breath . The wound was really split open, and its edges were slightly red and swollen, making it look even more severe than before . She quickly cleaned up the injury, and she once again bandaged it with medicine: “Fourth Master needs to be extra careful, don’t make any dangerous movements that might affect your wound . ”

Yue Wang, however, did not mind at all . After Mu Yunyao had helped bandage his wound, he turned his head towards her with a slightly perturbed look . “I really didn’t do it on purpose just now . ” He would rather injure himself than to hurt Mu Yunyao by even a little . Why would he hurt her so viciously?

Mu Yunyao bit the tip of her tongue lightly . The pain had calmed her down completely: “Fourth Master’s eyes were empty just now, and his aura was chaotic . It’s obvious that he hasn’t fully awakened . I didn’t take this matter to heart, so you don’t have to mind, Fourth Master . ”

Seeing her expression, Yue Wang was disappointed, but he also knew that he could not force her . “While I was in a trance earlier, I thought I heard you call me Ning Junyue?”

Mu Yunyao’s fingertips trembled, “No, how could I dare to call Fourth Master’s name directly? You must have misheard me while you were daydreaming!”

A hint of laughter flashed past Yue Wang’s eyes . “Hmm, that’s also highly possible …”

“Fourth Master, you have a good rest . I’ll take my leave first . ”

After Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin walked in with the medicine bowl . When he saw Yue Wang awake, he was happy . “Wang Ye, you’re finally awake? No matter what I do, I couldn’t wake you up just now . This old servant is worried sick about you . ”

“I’ve made Uncle Qin worry . ” Yue Wang thought about the hatred that Mu Yunyao had when she looked at him . He seemed to be somewhat absent-minded . “Uncle Qin, I asked you to send someone to investigate Mu Yunyao’s identity again . Did you find anything suspicious?” Steward Qin shook his head . “Miss Mu’s identity is pure and simple, and there are no abnormalities about it . It’s also understandable that her temperament changed a lot after her father passed away . Many people’s personalities would shift more or less due to the excessive stimulation of their loved ones’ deaths . However, the cause of death of Miss Mu’s father is somewhat strange . . . ”

“Didn’t her father fall into the river and drown when he was drunk while he went to the Capital to earn for a living?”

“The cause of death from the government investigation was due to this, but Miss Mu’s father never drank alcohol while he was alive . Moreover, he was skilled in martial arts and often wandered around when he was young . Some say that he was skilled in swimming and would often fishing in the river during the summer to supplement his family . ”

Yue Wang’s expression turned serious: “That means, could it be that he was killed secretly by someone?”

“There is indeed such a possibility, and there is another strange thing . Someone adopted Miss Mu’s mother when she still young . Her adoptive parents seem like ordinary family members . But in reality, they are distant relatives of the old housekeeper of the Su family’s residence and had inextricably linked to the Su family in the capital . ”

“The Su family?” Yue Yang suddenly remembered that Mu Yunyao had used the screen to trap the Su Family, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart .
