Wu Qing let out a roar. "Since you don't love me, then die with me!" He ferociously pulled out the dagger from his body and rushed out swiftly to chase after Liu Yushu. After all, he knew martial arts. In just a few strides, he easily caught up with her. His blood - stained hand grabbed her shoulder and pressed down hard, as if he had caught a little mouse, subduing Liu Yushu on the spot.
Liu Yushu cried out in panic. "Wu Qing, let me go! Calm down!" She had to plead for mercy, or the consequences would be unthinkable. She had completely enraged Wu Qing. Based on her understanding of him, she knew he would definitely kill her.
"I gave you a chance, but this is how you treated me. Yushu, why do you keep hurting me? Why do you keep lying to me? I love you so much, how could you be so cold - hearted?" Tears streamed from Wu Qing's blood - shot eyes. He sobbed uncontrollably.
To save herself, Liu Yushu could only pretend to be aggrieved. "I never lied to you. I truly love you! It's you who always wants to hurt me, just like now. Brother Qing, calm down. You've never pointed a knife at me. You said no matter what I did, you'd never hurt me. Have you forgotten?"
Hearing this, Wu Qing shuddered and loosened his grip on Liu Yushu. She let out a sigh of relief. But the next second, her eyes widened. Her body stiffened for a moment and then began to tremble violently. The sharp dagger pierced her body again and again.
Wu Qing stabbed her fiercely through his sobs. "You forced me! You forced me to break my vow. You forced me to change my mind. Yushu, die with me. I'd rather kill you with my own hands than have a heart - changed you."
Liu Yushu was covered in blood and fainted in a pool of it. Wu Qing looked heart - brokenly at the dying Liu Yushu on the ground. Just as he was about to end his own life, he suddenly stopped. He couldn't die yet. If he did, who would bury his Yushu? He had to bury her first and engrave the words "Wife of Wu Qing" on her tombstone. He wanted everyone to know that Liu Yushu was his wife in life and in death.
Wu Qing turned back and set the wood - shed on fire.
Mu Chan arrived in time with the Wu family's guards. The badly - injured Wu Qing didn't have the strength to fight with the guards. He had to abandon Liu Yushu's body and flee. In his view, since Liu Yushu was already dead, it was all over. She could never go against him again. He could take his time with the burial. It wasn't urgent. He also needed time to heal his wounds.
Wu Qing fled in a flash.
Mu Chan shouted that there was a fire and told Zui Tao and Mama Xie to put it out. Then she rushed out of the mansion in a hurry to find a doctor. When she got to the medical clinic, without waiting for the doctor to ask, she grabbed the doctor's hand and ran.
The doctor pushed Mu Chan away, looking displeased and confused. "What's wrong with you, girl? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't pull and tug."
Mu Chan cried anxiously. "Doctor, please come with me quickly. My mistress... she's dying."
The doctor followed Mu Chan into Liu Yushu's room.
In the room, Liu Yushu was lying pale and unconscious on the couch. She looked as if she was dead. The blood on her body had soaked the bedding.
The doctor was really startled. He said in a flurry, "This person is too badly injured. Even an immortal couldn't save her. You'd better find someone else." Then he ran away at once.
Mu Chan chased after him in a hurry and bumped into Mama Xie. After some hesitation, she told Mama Xie what had happened.
Mama Xie entered the room. Seeing the blood all over the couch, her face turned pale with fright. She quickly told Mu Chan to fetch a basin of hot water. She wet a face - towel and carefully wiped the blood off Liu Yushu's body.
There was a glaring red mark on Liu Yushu's neck. Mama Xie thought it looked like it was caused by a rope being tightly wrapped around it. She quickly asked Mu Chan, "Did that brute strangle Sister Shu's neck? This mark is very deep. It'll be bad if it leaves a scar."
Mu Chan shook her head nervously. "This slave doesn't know. This slave only saw that brute go crazy on the mistress. Then the mistress told this slave to run away. This slave doesn't know what happened after that."
"Sister Shu is already hurt like this. What else could that brute have done but ruin her? That damned brute wanted to destroy Sister Shu and make sure she couldn't live." Mama Xie was extremely angry.
"Ahh!" Mu Chan shivered and felt extremely regretful. She thought that if she had known this, she shouldn't have run away. She should have protected Liu Yushu even if it cost her life.
The water in the basin was dyed red by the blood on the face - towel, and the face - towel was also soaked with blood and turned red. Mama Xie saw that Liu Yushu's blood was flowing more and more and she couldn't stop it. She panicked and quickly told Mu Chan to go outside the city to find Doctor Yan.
Liu Yushu's face became paler and paler, her body colder and colder, and her breathing lighter and lighter. Mama Xie called her tearfully. "Sister Shu, wake up! If you go, how can this old slave explain to the old madam when I die in the future? If you really go, this old slave won't live either. I'll go with you."
Liu Yushu felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. It was completely dark all around, with no light and no wind. She didn't know if it was day or night.
"Girl Shu, why are you here? Are you lost?" A familiar voice sounded behind her. She turned her head and saw some faint lights in the distance. The old madam was holding a white candle in her hand.
"Grandmother?!" Liu Yushu shuddered. After being stunned for a moment, she rushed towards the old madam and hugged her tightly. The old madam stroked her head with a smile. "You naughty girl, you got lost again, right? Here, take this candle. It's dark here. If you use the candle to light your way, you can go home."
The old madam took her hand and made her hold the white candle.
Liu Yushu looked at the old madam in a bit of a daze. "Grandmother, let's go together."
The old madam laughed. "Silly girl, this isn't a place you should be. Go back quickly." With that, she gave her a push from behind. Liu Yushu staggered forward. When she looked back, the old madam's figure had melted into the darkness.
Liu Yushu called out to the old madam a few times, but there was no answer. She felt panicked. The white candlelight shone a white line on the ground, as if guiding her to walk along the white line.
Where on earth was this place? Liu Yushu thought for a while. Combining what the old madam had just said, she shivered in fear. Could this be... the underworld?
Was she dead?!!! How could this be?!!!
