Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard - Chapter 83-3

Chapter 83 part3

“Xiang Yu!” Du Ke Xin, seeing her own person getting injured, drew her sword and pointed it towards Yin Yue Xuang, “Who are you, to actually dare injure my people!?”

Seeing Du Ke Xin’s movement, Luo Fu quickly pulled her back in fright and retreated several steps back, “Ke Xin, you can’t be like this! The other party is someone from the Yan Luo Hall that we hired. They came to fulfill their mission!”

Du Ke Xin lifted her head and looked to Luo Fu. Seeing the warning contained in his eyes, she stomped her foot and said, “Then quickly have the person handed over!”

“With you this mean, think I’ll hand over just like that?” Yin Yue Xuan looked to Du Ke Xin and said.

The curtains blocked the scene inside the carriage. Du Xiao Li opened her eyes, seeing Xia Yuan and Ying Ge both with their eyes opened as well. Qiao Zhu had been woken up by Du Xiao Li and left inside the forest. Originally, she just let her wait for them, but hearing that this place often have ferocious beast appearing, she thus had her placed atop a big tree, letting her wait for their return.

They were conscious the entire time. Originally, they were listening to Luo Fu’s voice, but before they could hear who their master was, Du Ke Xin came. Hearing their conversation, it seems they weren’t together, but they definitely knew each other. Furthermore, from the looks of it, she and that man were very familiar. This matter perhaps was also related to Zhong Mei Qing. Thus, she decided to continue pretending to be unconscious.

Earlier, she had sensed there were ten some people, not very strong. Even if Yin Yue Xuan didn’t act, she was confident that she could handle them all. Thus, she lightly knocked on the floorboard twice, letting Yin Yue Xuan understand her intention.

Knocking once, he would have to help them escape.

Knocking twice, he can leave, and they will find out the other party’s purpose themselves.

This was the ‘deal’ they previously agreed to.

Receiving Du Xiao Li’s signal, Yin Yue Xuan said, “Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with a little girl. The person’s inside, where’s the remaining money?”

Heaing Yin Yue Xuan’s words, Luo Fu waved his hand, letting someone next to him hand over a thick stack of banknotes. Yin Yue Xuan took the money and shoved it into his chest without even counting it. In a flash, he then flew away from atop the horse carriage.

Xiang Yu got up from the ground and came up next to Du Ke Xin, holding her chest, “Miss, do you still want to kill that slut?”

Hearing Du Xiao Li’s name, Du Ke Xin recalled the words she’d accidentally heard from Du Old Madam’s place when she’d returned home in the afternoon, saying how great Du Xiao Li was, and as the di daughter, how she won honor for the family, and also saying how she, Du Ke Xin, was inferior to Du Xiao Li and such. In addition to inadvertently hearing Ren Wang telling his servant boy how he regretted in the morning back at the academy, and how all he thought about in his head everyday was Du Xiao Li, wanting to obtain Du Xiao Li, all the accumulated resentment in her heart shot up. She must kill Du Xiao Li. Originally, she wanted to look for Luo Fu to help her secretly get rid of Du Xiao Li, but she didn’t find him at his residence. After asking his servant boy, she learned of their plan today.

“Kill, of course we need to kill her!” Du Ke Xin said gritting her teeth.

“Miss, master has ordered, this Du Xiao Li can’t be killed. We need to use her to disrupt Du Yun Han and Han Ming Yi’s footsteps, so that they can’t complete the preparations for the competition between the countries.” Luo Fu said trying to stop her. “As long as Du Xiao Li can’t complete the preparations this time, the Emperor will naturally punish her!”

“I don’t care, I must have her killed today!” Du Ke Xin furiously cried, “As soon as she came back, she stole my di daughter position, letting me change from Ren Wang’s main consort to a side consort. Grandmother’s attention is also all on these two siblings, and right now, even Ren Wang has fallen for her, wanting to marry her as the main consort. How can I swallow this anger? As long as she’s dead, everything will be fine! Uncle Luo, you watched me grow up, how can you bear to see me endure such grievances?”

“Miss, but master has ordered, need to leave her alive. If you kill her without permission, even if it’s the entire Zhong family, won’t be able to bear master’s anger either! Miss, just wait, very soon, you’ll be able to see Du Xiao Li die.” Luo Fu urged.

“I don’t care about your master! I must kill her!” Du Ke Xin viciously said. Seeing someone block Xiang Yu, she stepped pass Luo Fu, stealing Xiang Yu’s sword. Then, pulling open the carriage curtains, she stabbed towards Du Xiao Li!

“Miss!”

Luo Fu grabbed Du Ke Xin at once, pulling her away from the horse carriage, “Miss, you mustn’t!”
