"How about it? Isn't this a good ending?" Meng Xingyu looked at Feng Yuqin and said with a smile.
Feng Yuqin nodded in satisfaction. "Ji Wenjie did a good job in the end. Although Feng Qing and Ji Wen'an strongly denied it, not everyone on the scene was a fool. Their reputations won't be good from now on."
She knew that the Second Madam and the others cared a great deal about their reputations.
Although it was impossible to find evidence so easily, there would still be plenty of gossips.
Why did those people involve Ji Wenjie in the first place?
Wasn't it because they planned to make him take the blame if something really went wrong?
"It's a pity I couldn't help you get the real mastermind," Meng Xingyu said regretfully.
Feng Yuqin shook her head. "No, you've already helped me a great deal this time. I never intended to let them get off so easily. In fact, Ji Wenjie was quite lucky to die so quickly. Sometimes, when a person is alive and has to watch the things they care about slip away bit by bit without being able to do anything, living such a life worse than death is actually more miserable than dying."
Hearing her words, Meng Xingyu couldn't help shivering.
Just imagining that scenario made him feel painful.
Thank goodness they weren't enemies.
He thought Feng Yuqin's real means might be countless times more ruthless than what she had shown so far.
It had to be said that Meng Xingyu was right.
Feng Yuqin had just time-traveled here and had nothing. She was a bit restricted in what she could do.
However, she was the kind of person who never showed mercy to her enemies.
So, whatever you did, never become her enemy.
Because her means would surely make her enemies regret ever being born into this world.
"The shop you asked Uncle Hong to find for you has been found. I went to check it out. The environment inside is quite good. I think you'll be satisfied. Do you want to go and have a look now?" Meng Xingyu asked. "I can take you there."
"No, I might go to the Yan family's after I've seen the shop," Feng Yuqin said indifferently.
Hearing this, Meng Xingyu immediately took out the deed. "You can go and have a look first. If you're not satisfied, I'll ask Uncle Hong to find another one for you."
"Thanks," Feng Yuqin said as she took the deed and turned to leave.
However, she hadn't walked far when she felt someone following her, and they were being quite blatant about it.
She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the man not far away, her eyes cold. "What are you following me for? We don't seem to be familiar!"
She had already repaid the favor, although he hadn't accepted it in the end.
But what did that matter to her?
She didn't want to have too much to do with this dangerous man.
The man gave a cold and charming smile. "You seem to have forgotten that you lost a husband. Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Husband my foot!
Feng Yuqin took off running, and the king chased after her relentlessly...
"Master, why don't you just give in?" Xiaoying saw Mo Xuanye following the master at a steady pace.
Although the master had tried her best to shake off the man behind, the gap in their strength was so great that it was really like a cat playing with a mouse. The scene was too embarrassing for the two beast pets to watch.
"Yes, master. Don't you want to travel the world after you've become powerful? This man is handsome and powerful. He'd be a great partner. I'm on Xiaoying's side this time," Xiaojin also defected and became Mo Xuanye's perfect helper.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
So while she was running for her life, her beast pets had defected?
Also, the man always wore a mask. How could Xiaojin tell that he was handsome?
The Gold-devouring Beast sensed Feng Yuqin's thoughts and said seriously, "Although he's wearing a mask, we can still see the lower half of his face. With a face like that, I'm sure the face under the mask won't be bad either, right, Xiaoying?"
Xiaoying nodded. "That's right. People from the royal family can't be ugly. Otherwise, they would have disappeared into the long river of history long ago."
Feng Yuqin was speechless.
She was now certain that her beast pets had defected!
"Master, you can take a break. Mo Xuanye isn't chasing after you anymore," Xiaojin suddenly said.
Feng Yuqin looked behind her. Sure enough, Mo Xuanye was no longer within the stable distance that he had always maintained.
Although she didn't know why Mo Xuanye had stopped chasing her, it was good news that he wasn't chasing her anymore.
Feng Yuqin changed direction and headed straight for the shop.
"Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me," Feng Yuqin said as she stood in front of the shop. A three-story shop came into view.
Most importantly, the location was excellent. It was very convenient to get anywhere from here.
After entering the shop, Feng Yuqin thought that Meng Xingyu's description of it as "quite good" had been an understatement. It wasn't just quite good; it was extremely good.
The shop also had a large backyard. Feng Yuqin walked around it and was very satisfied with it.
It was obvious that the previous owner had put a lot of effort into the decoration.
"Master, the Meng family must have spent some effort getting this shop," Xiaoying commented after looking around.
"It's okay. If necessary, master can just give the Meng family another pill next time," the Gold-devouring Beast said boldly.
Xiaoying nodded in agreement. "I agree with Xiaojin. Anyway, the lowest-grade pills in the space are all level five, and there isn't even a level-five pill refiner in the Western Song Kingdom. They'll definitely treasure master's pills."
"Then it's settled," Feng Yuqin said, also agreeing with the two beast pets' suggestion. "Now let's go to the Yan family."
Although the Yan family was also in the East City, due to some factors, it was located at the end.
When she was still a street away, a sense of danger made Feng Yuqin wary.
"Master, there are quite a few people lying in ambush on the street ahead," Xiaoying said.
Feng Yuqin stood still, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Am I being ambushed?"
"Seems so," Xiaoying paused for a moment and continued. "A lot of people are also closing in from behind."
Xiaojin said, "Master, we're surrounded."
In just a few short moments, Feng Yuqin could clearly sense more than a dozen dangerous auras around her.
"Since you're here for me, then show yourselves," Feng Yuqin said coldly.
Hearing this, the killers behind immediately stepped forward.
Feng Yuqin looked at these people and found that the secret guards in the dark hadn't come out. Only the killers had appeared, and there were quite a few of them.
She had been a killer in her previous life, so it was easy for her to tell their identities.
"Who sent you?" Feng Yuqin asked, not really expecting an answer, but quickly trying to figure out who had sent them in her mind.
She hadn't offended many people. The only ones who could use killers against her were her scumbag father and the Ji family.
"The people who are going to kill you," said another group of ambushers as they appeared.
Feng Yuqin glanced back. They were also killers.
With such a large-scale operation, she had a good idea of who the mastermind was.
"Master, these killers must have been sent by your father and the Ji family," Xiaoying guessed.
"This is really a big deal," Xiaojin frowned and said.
Feng Yuqin said indifferently, "If my guess is correct, the killers last time failed to kill me, so the number of them this time has tripled."
