Chapter 1670: 1670 Figured out what happened over five years ago

In his grief, Wei Tang picked up a sharp blade and thrust it towards Su Qingyue. Before he could get close, Li Mu killed him with a single stroke of his sword.

Looking at the dead bodies of Wei Tang and his daughter on the ground, Yang An was overwhelmed with sorrow. He stood up, his expression numb.

Guard Li Mu was highly alert, ready to kill him at any sign of movement.

Yang An looked at Li Mu’s expression and began to laugh bitterly, "What, you think I would follow Wei Qingyi’s dying wish to kill Su Qingyue? She called me a slave repeatedly, clearly looking down on me. She only called me Brother Yang before her death to use me for her revenge."

He turned to glance at Su Qingyue, "I only learned today that Su Xingyun is actually Su Qingyue, the most beloved woman of the Valley Master. Miss Su did nothing wrong from start to finish; it was Qingyi who was too extreme."

He kneeled before Xiao Yuchuan, "Valley Master, the fate of the Wei family father and daughter was deserved. I will absolutely not bewitch you with her dying words. Please rest assured, Valley Master."

Xiao Yuchuan looked at his earnest face, a trace of distrust flickering in his eyes. He still waved his hand, "Take him to the Drug Testing Room."

Yang An followed the servant obediently.

Li Mu glanced at his retreating figure, feeling uneasy and believing Yang An would not let this go so easily. He wanted to report to the Valley Master, but he thought it would be unfair to execute Yang An if his words were sincere.

He believed that the Valley Master would make his own decision on this matter.

"Someone, clean up the yard. Promote Zhu San to the new Housekeeper of Poison King Valley." Xiao Yuchuan ordered coldly.

Soon, the bodies of the Wei family father and daughter were carried away, and the bloodstains were cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

Su Qingyue walked to a lounger placed under a tree in the yard and sat down. It was somewhat hot, and a maid prepared tea and desserts, and took out a fan to wave for her.

Xiao Yuchuan, like a child who had done something wrong, stood in front of her for a long time without saying a word.

Su Qingyue quietly closed her eyes and rested.

Yuchuan did not disturb her.

When she opened her eyes, he smiled at her, showing his dazzling white teeth, "Wife, you are truly beautiful. Why would such a beautiful celestial being like you wear a human skin mask?"

As if recalling something, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, "I know, you disguised yourself to hide from me." If she hadn’t disguised herself, finding her wouldn’t have been so difficult.

"No." She shook her head.

His heart leaped with joy, "Not to hide from me?"

"As smart as you are, you should understand that over five years ago, I was just a wealthy merchant, while the Xiao Family was an aristocratic family. At that time, my financial power was insufficient to compete with the Xiao Family. After our separation, if everything was done under the name of Su Qingyue, the Xiao Family would not have allowed my business to develop, and I would have encountered more obstacles and troubles. The disguise was convenient." At times when she was at a disadvantage, she could only adapt. If Su Qingyue hadn’t been flexible, how would she have achieved what she had today?

Xiao Yuchuan looked at her with a heart full of pain, remaining silent for a moment before he spoke, "I bribed the confidants of Xiao Chonghuan and his wife, and found out what they did to you over five years ago. They actually intended to kill you!"

"No one can kill Su Qingyue." Her brows were filled with arrogance, "Back then, Xiao couple wanted to kill me, do you know why I spared them?"
