Something’s Wrong With My Wife-Chapter 20

Chapter 20

“Ah—”

In the silent courtyard, a series of terrified screams suddenly erupted!

Some timid maidservants and servants collapsed to the ground in fear while others stood there trembling, with pale faces.

Guard Wang fell into a pool of blood. His lifeless eyes were wide open, and blood was still gushing out of his neck.

The scene was exceptionally bloody and terrifying!

No one expected that the beautiful girl would suddenly kill someone.

Although Guard Wang drew his saber, he only stopped them and did not attack.

Besides, this was the Chengguo Residence. The Qin family was visiting them for the first time after the marriage, so they could not make the first move and attack.

It was just that First Madam was angry and wanted them to yield.

The servants did not expect such a sudden change. Nobody expected something like that to happen, not even Luo Yannian and Madam Wang.

She had killed so suddenly. No one had time to react.

Looking at Guard Wang, who had his throat pierced and died, Madam Wang opened her mouth, speechless for a moment. She immediately screamed in shock and anger, “This is outrageous! How outrageous! How dare you kill someone in the Chengguo Residence! Guards, take down this little b*tch!”

Although she was angry and exasperated, she was still a little clear-headed.

Since she could not lay a finger on that little b*stard and the Young Miss of the Qin family, she could only kill the lowly maidservant and make her pay for what she had done.

However, after she gave the order, none of the armed guards in the courtyard dared to move.

Even an expert like Guard Wang got his throat pierced by a sword. How would they dare to go up?

Seeing this, Madam Wang felt even more embarrassed and angry. She shouted angrily, “Where’s Wang Cheng? Hurry up and take down this ruthless little b*tch!”

Wang Cheng was her distant cousin and the current Second Butler of the Chengguo Residence.

At the same time, he was also a martial artist.

His current cultivation level was already at the Martial Master Realm. He could kill an elephant with a single punch, and the skin and flesh on his entire body were tempered like steel. It was very difficult for him to be hurt by ordinary sabers and swords.

Upon hearing his name being called, Wang Cheng stood in front of the maidservants and bowed his head. He did not come out immediately, only looking at the man who had a dark expression.

Luo Yannian sat there and looked at the corpse at the door without saying a word.

Wang Cheng’s eyes flickered before he walked out of the crowd. The brocade robe on his body fluttered as he moved. His wide sleeves swayed as he walked toward the aloof and beautiful girl. He said in a low voice, “You have to give me an explanation for killing someone in the Chengguo Residence unprovoked.”

But the girl merely stood there, neither speaking nor moving. She just looked at him with a cold expression.

Madam Wang could no longer wait in the room. She shouted, “Why are you wasting your breath on that little b*tch? Take her down!”

Swoosh!

Wang Cheng took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the cold girl. Then, he stretched out his hand. Not only was his move as fast as lightning, but it was also as strong as a thousand pounds. He aimed for her throat, wanting to wrap his hand tightly around it.

“Stop!”

At this moment, Luo Yannian, who was in the room, suddenly shouted.

Just as Wang Cheng’s hand was about half a foot away from Xia Chan’s throat, his hand suddenly froze and did not move.

He froze on the spot, and the ferocious look in his eyes suddenly turned to shock.

Then, it turned from shock to fear!

At this moment, everyone saw clearly that there was a sword at his throat!

At the same time, the sharp tip of the sword had already pierced through the skin and muscles of his throat!

It was only an inch away from piercing through his throat!

A smear of bright red blood was gushing out from the tip of the sword that had sunk into his flesh, flowing down his neck into his clothing.

The muscles on his face twitched unconsciously, and his entire body instantly felt as if it had fallen into an icehouse. He felt a cold chill seep into his bones.

Wang Cheng did not dare move.

He did not dare to move a muscle at all.

He did not stop because of Luo Yannian’s order.

He stopped because of the sword that had pierced through his skin.

But of course.

He knew that when Luo Yannian said “stop”, it was not directed at him.

Until now.

Only then did everyone understand that Luo Yannian’s words were to Xia Chan. He said it to save Butler Wang’s life.

With just a slight movement of the sword, Butler Wang’s neck would be pierced through by the sword. He would end up like the dead guard on the ground!

However, no one could figure something out.

How did that sword suddenly pierce through Butler Wang’s throat?

They did not see the sword-wielding girl attack at all.

But of course.

Even Luo Qingzhou, who was standing nearby, did not see it clearly.

He only saw Butler Wang approach the girl and then suddenly stop in front of her, motionless.

Only when he saw the sword against Butler Wang’s throat did he hear the faint sound of the girl drawing her sword.

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be lightning-fast.

The sword arrived first, followed by the sound!

At this moment.

The Chengguo Residence was deathly silent.

All of the anger and ferocity in Madam Wang’s face vanished. Instead, her face was a little pale.

She turned to look at her husband.

It was as if she wanted to seek his help, but also his comfort.

Luo Yannian looked at Xia Chan with a dark expression and his eyes flickered.

After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and said in a low voice, “You guys may leave.”

“Old Master!”

Madam Wang’s face turned as white as a sheet, and her voice was trembling.

However, Luo Yannian did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Luo Yu and followed his gaze to that devastatingly beautiful figure.

From the moment that figure entered the residence, Luo Yu’s gaze had never left her.

“Chanchan, let’s go. Old Master Luo doesn’t want us to have a meal here, so let’s go home.”

In the silent courtyard, Bai Ling’s voice suddenly sounded.

The solemn and tense atmosphere immediately relaxed a little.

Clang!

Xia Chan returned her sword to its sheath. As usual, it was so quick that nobody could see how she did it.

Her face was still cold, causing others’ hearts to pound in fear.

Wang Cheng, who was standing in front of her, hurriedly retracted his hand and retreated in a panic. His face was ashen white, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

Luo Qingzhou walked out with Qin Jianjia.

Bai Ling and Xia Chan followed behind them.

Xiao Die and the other servants followed behind.

The guards and servants in the residence had already made way for them.

Even after they left the residence, the guards and servants had yet to recover from the shock.

“Old Master!”

Madam Wang gritted her teeth. She had an indignant expression.

There was a loud slap.

A crisp slap suddenly resounded throughout the entire hall.

Madam Wang was slapped, and he fell to the ground. She held a hand to her burning cheek and looked up at her husband in fear and confusion.

Luo Yannian did not look at her. His gaze was still on his son.

Luo Yu stood at the side as if he did not hear his mother being slapped. His gaze was still fixed on the door where Qin Jianjia had disappeared. He was in a mesmerized daze.

“Father…”

He suddenly opened his mouth and said slowly, “That sword is not an ordinary item, and that girl is also extraordinary, yet she’s only her maidservant.”

Luo Yannian narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

“So…”

Luo Yu retracted his gaze and looked at his father.

“I really regret it…”
