Chapter 465: House Fight Turns into Thriller 4
"Liu Ruyan, you won't have a good ending!" Liu Hui said gritting her teeth.
Liu Ruyan just smiled when she heard this, and didn't take it to heart. She knew that as long as Lord Liu was there, she would never lose.
Liu Hui was taken away by the guards, and only Lord Liu and Liu Ruyan were left in the room. Lord Liu looked at Liu Ruyan, his eyes full of love and affection.
"Ruyan, you're frightened." Lord Liu said gently, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."
When Liu Ruyan heard this, a warm current surged in her heart. She snuggled in the arms of Lord Liu, feeling this rare warmth and sense of security.
"Father, thank you." Liu Ruyan said gratefully, "With you here, I am not afraid of anything."
Upon hearing this, Lord Liu patted her back gently and said, "My dear daughter, don't worry. As long as I am here, I will protect you."
The father and daughter were chatting tenderly in the room, as if they had completely forgotten the thrilling fight that had just taken place.
Meanwhile, Liu Hui was taken to the woodshed by the guards. She was tied to a pillar and could not move. The woodshed was dark and damp, filled with musty and foul smells. Liu Hui endured these unpleasant smells, her heart filled with grief and resentment.
"Why am I so unlucky?" Liu Hui muttered to herself, "I am clearly the victim, but I am wrongly accused of being the murderer. This world is so unfair!"
At this moment, the door of the woodshed suddenly opened. A figure walked in with a food box in his hand. Liu Hui looked up in surprise and saw that the person was actually Zhang's mother.
"Mom Zhang, why are you here?" Liu Hui asked puzzledly.
Mother Zhang did not answer Liu Hui's question, but walked over to her and opened the lunch box, which contained some simple food and a bowl of hot soup.
"Miss Liu, please eat something." Mother Zhang said, "You have been locked up here for several days. If you don't eat something, your body will not be able to bear it."
When Liu Hui heard this, she felt a warm current in her heart. She didn't expect that someone would care about her at this time.
"Thank you, Mother Zhang." Liu Hui said gratefully, "But why did you come to save me? Didn't you betray Mother together with Liu Ruyan and the others?"
Hearing this, Mother Zhang sighed and said, "Miss Liu, you don't know. I don't actually want to betray Madam. But I was forced to do so!"
"You were forced to do so?" Liu Hui asked doubtfully, "Who forced you to do that?"
Mother Zhang did not directly answer Liu Hui's question, but said: "Miss Liu, do you know? In fact, the lady did not die of illness. She was poisoned to death."
"What?" Liu Hui's eyes widened in shock. "You mean, mother was poisoned to death? Who was the murderer?"
Mother Zhang sighed again and said, "The murderer is... Ruyan Liu."
"What?" Liu Hui felt dizzy when she heard that. She couldn't believe that her own sister would actually poison her mother to death.
"This...how is this possible?" Liu Hui murmured to herself.
Mother Zhang looked at Liu Hui's shocked expression, and her heart was filled with sympathy and pity. She said, "Miss Liu, I know this is hard to accept. But this is the truth. Liu Ruyan, in order to fight for the family property and status, did not hesitate to poison the lady to death."
"Then...then why are you telling me this?" Liu Hui asked puzzledly.
Mother Zhang said, "Because I feel guilty! I watched my wife being murdered, but I was powerless to do anything. Now you are wrongly accused of being the murderer and are locked up here. I just can't stand it. So I decided to tell you the truth, hoping that you can escape and seek justice for my wife."
When Liu Hui heard this, she felt a strong surge of gratitude and anger. She was grateful to Zhang's mother for telling her the truth, and angry at Liu Ruyan's cruelty and ruthlessness.
"Thank you, Mom Zhang." Liu Hui said, "Don't worry, I will definitely escape. I will seek justice for my mother and make Liu Ruyan pay the price she deserves!"
Hearing this, Mother Zhang nodded and said, "Okay! Miss Liu, you must be careful. Liu Ruyan and the others will not let you go easily."
After saying that, Mother Zhang turned and left the woodshed. Liu Hui looked at her leaving figure, her heart filled with gratitude and respect. She knew that the only thing she could do now was to escape and seek justice for her mother.
In the next few days, Liu Hui kept looking for a chance to escape. She observed every corner of the woodshed, looking for a possible exit. Finally, one night, she found a small hole in the back wall of the woodshed. Although the hole was not big, it was big enough for her to get out.
So, Liu Hui took advantage of the night and quietly got out of the hole. She carefully walked through the yard and came to the back door. The back door was locked, but Liu Hui had already thought of a countermeasure. She took out a thin wire from her bosom and started to pick the lock.
Soon, the lock was pried open. Liu Hui pushed the door open and quietly walked out. She ran along the path until she was sure that no one was chasing her, then she dared to stop and take a breath.
"I finally escaped!" Liu Hui murmured to herself, "Next, I will seek justice for my mother!"
Liu Hui ran all the way along the path until she was far away from the Liu Mansion, and then she dared to stop to catch her breath. She was filled with anger and determination, and she must seek justice for her mother. However, she knew that she was alone and could not directly compete with Liu Ruyan. So, she decided to use some supernatural powers to scare Liu Ruyan and her father and let them know how powerful she was.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Liu Hui sneaked back to the vicinity of Liu's mansion. She muttered something, as if summoning something. After a while, a gust of cold wind blew, and a female ghost in white clothes and with a pale face slowly appeared in front of her. This female ghost was summoned by Liu Hui using a secret method. She was once a maid in Liu's mansion. She died unjustly and was full of resentment in her heart. Now she was awakened by Liu Hui to vent her anger.
"Go, go and scare them, let them know how powerful I am!" Liu Hui said gritting his teeth, pointing in the direction of Liu Mansion.
Upon hearing this, the female ghost nodded, and then disappeared into the night in a flash.
At this time, the Liu Mansion was completely silent, with only the occasional sound of the night watchman beating the watch. Lord Liu had already gone to bed, while Liu Ruyan was in her room, laughing and playing with her concubines. They had no idea that a terrible storm was about to come.
The ghost girl first came to Lord Liu's room. She gently opened the door and walked in quietly. Lord Liu was sleeping soundly, unaware of the danger approaching. The ghost girl floated to his bed and suddenly let out a shrill scream. Lord Liu was awakened by the sudden scream. He sat up suddenly and saw a ghost girl in white standing in front of his bed, her face pale and her eyes bloodshot.
"Ah!" Lord Liu screamed in fear and rolled off the bed. He ran away while shouting for help: "Help! There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
