The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1555 - 1554: Seeking Release

She knew she deserved to die for a long time, but she hadn't expected Tang Rao to strike, and without granting her a swift end."After doing such a thing, I didn't really think of living. The ones who want you dead are the Qin Family, my grandfather. If you have the guts, go settle the score with my grandfather. I'm just his pawn, a pawn that can't have its own thoughts. Tang Rao, do you think killing me will do any good?"

Qin Qing spat out blood and suddenly burst into laughter. However, those standing beside her felt waves of melancholy in that laughter.

Qin Qing was betrayed and abandoned by everyone. This result was not hard to foresee, yet the reality was still somewhat difficult to accept.

"Boss, a woman like this cannot be kept. It always ends up like this, and if she's spared this time, what if the boss encounters danger again next time?"

One person spoke up and everyone knelt before Tang Rao, loudly demanding him to make a decision, and due to his subordinate's intervention, he had no choice but to follow through!

"No need. No matter how big a mistake I make, he wouldn't personally end me, hahahaha..."

After all, having ties with Tang Rao, Qin Qing was certain Tang Rao wouldn't kill her, which was why she repeatedly provoked him into anger.

"If Tang Rao won't do it, I will!"

Tang Rao's vision merely blurred for a moment, and Qin Qing was already lying at his feet.

The person who spoke earlier still had Qin Qing's blood on his hands.

Only Chun Ping knelt beside her deceased mistress, appearing bereaved by Qin Qing's death, while secretly wishing she had been the one to kill Qin Qing.

At least it would have soothed her inner hatred.

Before Chun Ping and Dong Qi were sent to Qin Qing's side, the old man said it was only for a short while. As long as they completed the task, they would soon be brought back to continue serving him.

Chun Ping believed the old man's words, so despite being hurt or used, she swallowed the bitterness. Now that Qin Qing and Dong Qi were dead, could she return to the Qin Family? Could she survive?

The answer, naturally, was no.

Wang Han killed Qin Qing, and Chun Ping's psychological pressure reached its limit. When everyone's attention was focused on Qin Qing, she poisoned herself and died beside Qin Qing.

As long as she didn't fall into Tang Rao's hands, any outcome was the best result.

"What deep affection between master and servant. Since you acted yourself, it saves me one task."

Jin Qiao brought Wang Han some fresh water, allowing him to wash the bloodstains off his hands.

Their family's young lady punished those arrogant people in the Kao Shan Sect, already causing widespread resentment. Now, helping Tang Rao kill the woman he couldn't bear to slay, if the Kao Shan Sect counted these debts against Wang Han, not even jumping into the Kun River could cleanse her.

Everyone saw the killing, so what could the young lady use to defend herself?

"Miss, it seems we have more trouble again."

Jin Qiao lowered her head, only speaking timidly after Wang Han washed the blood off his hands.

On their own turf, even if the courtyard was flipped upside down, no one cared. But here, Wang Han's every move was under scrutiny. Even the slightest incident could become the trigger for someone's annoyance.

"Will you blame me for killing your beloved woman?"

Wang Han didn't answer Jin Qiao, she raised her head, stubbornly looking at Tang Rao, waiting for him to give everyone a satisfactory response.

Beloved woman?

By now, the woman lying on the ground showed no sign of life. Was she truly the one he loved?

Probably not. If he truly loved her, he should have felt heartache upon seeing Wang Han strike. But Tang Rao didn't.

From watching Wang Han act to Qin Qing falling to the ground, if he wanted to save her, he had countless opportunities, but he never acted.

Tang Rao thought perhaps he had always wanted Qin Qing dead, only he couldn't find a suitable reason and didn't want to act against the woman beside him, that's all.

"I don't blame you, thank you."

Under Tang Rao's formal apology, Wang Han became somewhat at a loss.

"No problem. As long as your people don't blame me, don't accuse me of killing out of jealousy over your woman, don't think I'm competing for your favor, then everything is fine."

No matter how strong Wang Han was, no matter how she treated the people around her as air, when there were too many gossipers, she also felt uncomfortable.

Tang Rao had just mentioned something felt off. After seeing Wang Han's unnatural expression, he finally identified the crux of Wang Han's issue.

"Will you?"

Tang Rao didn't explain directly to Wang Han, he just asked the brothers who were still kneeling.

Being asked by the boss, they shouldn't remain silent.

This question wasn't difficult to answer. Wang Han's action this time wasn't to harm the boss or the Kao Shan Sect brothers, but instead she helped alleviate a major problem for the boss. Truthfully speaking, they should be grateful to Wang Han. However, the lingering hurt from when Vice Sect Leader was harmed by Wang Han hadn't been forgotten by these people, even though Wang Han had done a good deed today, there was still a knot in their hearts.

"Sun Miao, do you blame her?"

Since no one answered, Tang Rao began pulling people to ask individually, first grabbing Sun Miao. He helplessly looked at the brothers, whose eyes dodged away, avoiding Sun Miao.

"I, I don't blame."

Since the brothers didn't have a consensus, Sun Miao gritted his teeth and provided Tang Rao with an answer.

"Very good."

It was the answer Tang Rao wanted to hear.

Afterward, he continued asking a few people the same question, receiving uniform responses.

"Since you don't blame her, today's matter is resolved. Someone, take Qin Qing and the maid beside her and send them to the Qin Family. If the Qin Family comes seeking justice, the Kao Shan Sect is ready to welcome them at any time!"

The death of two maids doesn't count for much to the massive Qin Family, but the death of one granddaughter means something different. Even if Old Master Qin didn't mourn his granddaughter, he should feel a pang over losing a carefully cultivated pawn, which died before serving its purpose—a pity.

Just as Tang Rao suspected, Old Master Qin's right eye had been twitching all day, sensing a major event was about to unfold. Yet, not being a Prophet, aside from anxiety, he remained seated within the Qin Family, not daring to even step out the main gate.

"Master, something terrible has happened, many people and two coffins have arrived at the gate!"

The Qin Family's servants have always been composed, showing no anxiety even when the sky seems to collapse. The old master's right hand slapped onto the tea shelf, shattering it into powder.

He knew trouble was brewing, correlating the earlier mentions of two coffins, making his heart race faster, hoping the circumstances weren't as he feared.

The old master hurriedly made his way to the Qin Family's main entrance, where two coffins were neatly placed at the doorway, while onlookers watched the spectacle and simultaneously broadcasted it live to more spectators within Illusion City.
