Chapter 485 Little Flower
"What is she going to do?" The butler stared wide-eyed at Madam Gu's movements as he rushed towards her.
However, the ice arrows were heading in that direction anyway, and since Madam Gu was nearby, even though the butler rushed over quickly, it was too late; all the ice arrows had already pierced Madam Gu's body...
"what!"
"lady!"
The butler finally reached Madam Gu, who was falling backward. The butler quickly reached out and caught her.
Madam Gu's plain clothes were stained red with blood, and her face was also covered with many bloodstains.
Madam Gu's eyes held a hint of determination, but her gaze was gradually becoming unfocused.
"Someone, please bring the doctor here."
Ye Qing'an had already seen the situation below. He took out his Wildfire Whip from his sleeve, channeled his spiritual power into the whip, and swung it at the group of people.
“Madam Gu is dead. If you do not leave now, I will take your lives here today.”
The men looked at each other, but their hands did not stop.
"You are not servants of the Gu family. Who are you? Who is on your behalf? What exactly do you want to do here?"
But no one answered.
Ye Qing'an recalled the spells she had read in a book the night before. She raised her hand, and with a cry of a phoenix, a phoenix suddenly appeared above her head. The phoenix spread its wings, its body pure white, seemingly covered in ice and snow. Suddenly, flames burst forth from the phoenix's body, growing larger and larger. The phoenix then soared into the sky, flying directly toward the group of people.
Those people were entangled by the phoenix and burst into flames.
The group was somewhat panicked, but they had no way to break out of the phoenix's encirclement. With a light sweep of the phoenix's tail, those who were hit by the tail felt a heavy blow to their chest, a sweet and metallic taste rose in their throats, and they vomited blood.
The group quickly circulated their spiritual energy, but found that their dantian felt as if it were being scorched by a raging fire, making it impossible to gather energy.
Ye Zirui stared intently at the scene in the sky, his face filled with astonishment...
This...this is...
Ye Zirui stared wide-eyed. He had been well-read since childhood, and although he had never seen the technique Ye Qing'an was using before, he could guess its name from its appearance: the Fire Rebirth Technique.
Phoenix rises from the ashes...
But wasn't this technique long ago lost? Why does Ye Qing'an know it?
While Ye Zirui was still puzzled, Ye Qing'an had already used the fire-breathing technique to completely surround those people.
"Madam Gu is gone."
The butler's voice exploded like thunder.
Ye Qing'an was taken aback and landed on the ground from the void: "Send men to arrest these people."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she quickly walked up to the steward.
Madam Gu collapsed into the butler's arms, blood still lingering at the corner of her mouth.
Ye Qing'an lowered her head, reached her hand in front of Madam Gu's nose to check, then pursed her lips, her expression cold, confirming that she was indeed not breathing.
"It was you! You killed Madam! You killed Master, and now you've killed our Madam too!"
"Oh dear, what sins has our Gu family committed to deserve this? Why have we ended up in such a state?"
"Get out of the way! People from the Ye family, don't touch our lady!"
It was a noisy scene.
The butler looked up at Ye Qing'an: "Miss, now we..."
"Enter the palace." Ye Qing'an straightened up: "Prepare a carriage, bring Madam Gu's body, and come with me to the palace."
"What right do you have? This is our lady's body! It's bad enough that you killed our lady, but now you're trying to steal her body!"
Ye Qing'an gave the speaker a cold look: "I'm taking Madam Gu to see the Emperor, so that he can judge right and wrong. What? Even the Emperor can't see your lady's body? How can you seek justice for her if you don't bring her to the palace?"
"Or is there some secret behind your wife's death?"
The man shrank back two steps: "What secret? What nonsense are you spouting? Your wife was killed by you in broad daylight. Let's see how you try to deny it."
Ye Qing'an ignored it and waited for the servants to prepare the carriage before getting on.
Granny Wei quickly followed and got into the carriage...
The carriage started moving, and Granny Wei frowned: "Although the Gu family started it, Madam Gu is gone after all. If this matter reaches the Emperor, won't you suffer the consequences, Miss?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "What loss would I suffer? I would only suffer if I didn't make a scene in front of the Emperor?"
Granny Wei thought for a moment, then frowned and nodded: "That's true. Things have come to this point, and there's no way to end it properly. Why is it that the Gu family is always picking on our Ye family?"
"Always?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Besides this time, has the Gu family ever opposed the Ye family before?"
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment: "Oh, and there's also the matter of Gu Duo ten years ago, Father killed Gu Duo."
"It's not just this one thing; there were reasons why the master treated Gu Duo the way he did back then."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an turned to look at Granny Wei: "What's the reason?"
Granny Wei lowered her voice: "This matter has to start from something that happened more than ten years ago. Miss was still young at the time and has probably forgotten that Master actually had a younger sister, Miss Hua Jin, who was also exceptionally beautiful and talented..."
"Hua Jin? Is that my aunt's name? Ye Hua Jin?"
“Yes.” Granny Wei nodded: “Miss Hua Jin is beautiful and lovely. Because of the age difference between her and the master, the master dotes on this younger sister. There are also many young men from noble families in the city who like Miss Hua Jin. However, Miss Hua Jin has fallen in love with that illegitimate son of the Gu family.”
"Gu Duo?" Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes.
"Yes." Granny Wei sighed, "Gu Duo was not yet the head of the Gu family at that time, but just the son of a concubine, so naturally he was not a good match for Miss Hua Jin. However, Miss Hua Jin was unwilling to marry and waited for him. Later, Gu Duo became the head of the Gu family, and our Ye family finally agreed to his marriage with Miss Hua Jin, but... who knew that he would actually kill Miss Hua Jin."
"Did you kill him?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, but then a thought suddenly came to her mind...
When Gu Duo was rambling incoherently before, he mentioned a name called Xiao Hua. Could he be referring to Ye Hua Jin?
What did Gu Duo say at the time?
She remembered that Gu Duo said his name was Xiaobai, but only one person could call him Xiaobai.
It is said that he has a red mole on his palm, which is very important. It is because of that red mole that he can be with his little flower and he can come back to find her.
He also said that there was Little Yellow, who was waiting for him to come back. Little Yellow would only return his little flower to him if she saw his red mole.
