The Fourth Lady

Chapter 22 The Wickedness of a Human Heart II

The most painful thing in the world is when you give your all for another, they still conspire in every

possible way to put you to death.

But no matter what, granny Ruo will never expect that it was Su Qingyan controlling everything behind

the scenes.

When Fengqing was telling Qingyan what had happened, she was in the middle of feeding Yaoyao.

That appearance of hers made him think that for Su Qingyan, granny Ruo was nothing but a stranger.

"Miss, you don't appear to be surprised at all with the matter regarding granny Ruo." Zizhu looked to

Qingyan with a smile, "That old servant was only taking advantage of the fact that miss drank some of

her milk and completely disregarded the young miss."

Heh. Qingyan laughed coldly.

"Zizhu, you know, granny Ruo won't think that I killed her grandsons. Instead, the one that will be taking

the blame in my place will the second house." Qingyan said this with a grin.

"Fengqing." Qingyan called out his name. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Fengqing immediately appeared before her in the next second, "Miss, what do you need?"

"Can you kill someone for me?" Qingyan said this as she calmly drank her tea.

"Perhaps it's that old servant's whole family?"

"How smart, it's best if you can also push the blame onto the second house. This way, the second

house will definitely be responsible for these two incidences. As for granny Ruo?" Qingyan stroked her

chin in a playful manner, "Leave that old servant for now. After all, I still need her to complete the trap

against the second house. When the times comes, we can just have the second house kill her in our

place."

The malicious aura emitting from Qingyan's body made Fengqing think of his own master. However,

what was different from his own master's was that Qingyan's seemed as if came from the pits of hell.

As long as she grabbed on to someone's lifeline, she will definitely pull them into the endless abyss.

"I understand, I'll go take care of it right away."

Just when Fengqing was about to leave, Qingyan stopped him, "Never mind, regarding this matter,

there will be a perfect solution." A bloodthirsty smile surfaced on her face.

Fengqing puzzlingly looked to Qingyan, but he still followed her orders and returned to his position.

Qingyan glanced at Zizhu and said with a smile, "Zizhu, you can withdraw first, I know what to do

regarding this matter."

After glancing at Qingyan, Zizhu turned and left the room.

Qingyan looked to the king cobra that was lazily curled up on the window ledge. She walked up next to

it and tapped its head, "Xiaohei, go find me a scorpion. Remember, I want one that's highly toxic and

big."

The cobra looked to her and flicked its tongue. Soon, it disappeared from the ledge.

"Beautiful, to have such vicious intentions isn't a good thing."

When she heard this voice, Su Qingyan looked out her window and saw Murong Jingxuan atop a tree.

At his words, Su Qingyan coldly laughed.

"I remember telling Shizi that I wasn't a good person." Su Qingyan threw him a teacup as she said this.

Murong Jingxuan steadily caught the teacup, "But aren't you welcoming me?" Then he playfully

continued, "I never expected that you would miss me this much."

Qingyan furrowed he brows, "Leave."

Soon the cobra returned with a scorpion in its mouth. Qingyan didn't expect that the king cobra would

bring her a scorpion king.

This was the most deadliest scorpion within Donghe, the 'Ghost Ringed Scorpion'.

The ghost ringed scorpion, as its name implies, is like that of a ghost, able to kill someone completely

undetected. If it were to lay eggs in the body, then eventually that person will be eaten alive with only

the bones remaining.

That sensation was like a thousand insects gnawing on the bones. There is no antidote for this kind of

scorpion; no one can treat it. You can say that it's extremely deadly.

If it were to become her pet, then that would be for the best.

Qingyan glanced at the small dagger to the side. Picking it up, she placed it to her wrist. While smiling,

she looked to the scorpion and said in a deep voice, "Ghost ringed scorpion, in exchange for my blood,

become my servant. Enter my body, and I will let you endlessly enjoy all the poisons in the world."

The ghost ringed scorpion looked up at the delicate young girl before it. It had lived for a hundred

years, coming across all kinds of people that wanted it for themselves. Yet, he always felt that its

masters were all missing something. But looking at her now, it finally understood.

Those people, although wanted it for themselves, was unwilling to make any kind of sacrifice. However,

she was willing to use her own blood in exchange.

Ghost ringed scorpions, using blood as a medium, will reside inside the human body and was thus,

wielded by the master.

"Beautiful, you must be insane to think of raising this venomous scorpion within your own body."

Murong Jingxuan seized her wrist in one fell swoop.

Qingyan looked up and met his eyes. In a cold voice, she replied, "What does this have to do with

Shizi?"

"Su Qingyan, you've chosen a path of destruction." Murong Jingxuan looked into her eyes and coldly

spoke, "If you die, who will protect the Dinguo General."

"Oh, " Su Qingyan look to him with a bit of interest, "Could it be that Shizi has some kind of grudge

against the Su family, if not, then why bother?"

Murong Jingxuan listened to her words and furrowed his brows. He spoke in a cold tone, "Who said I

had anything against the Su family?"

Qingyan smirked, "Then would Shizi be so kind to help me destroy the Su manor."

Murong Jingxuan was conflicted. He coldly tossed her her hand aside, "To not know my kindness."

Qingyan, no longer minding Murong Jingxuan, slit her wrist. The blood slowly dripped down her wrist,

and seeing this, the scorpion slowly start to drink up the blood.

"Since I've drank your blood, from now on you're my master." Saying this, the scorpion bit her.

Su Qingyan smiled, "Naturally, soon I'll get you a great gift." She extended her arm, and the scorpion

crawled up her arm, disappearing shortly.

"Shizi, why haven't you left yet?" Qingyan looked up towards the purple clad young man on he window

sill.

Furrowing his brows, he replied in a cold voice, "When the time comes, you won't even know how

you've died."

Su Qingyan filled the teacup with water and threw it to him, "Shizi, you have to know that once it

becomes mine, it won't harm me."

"Che, baseless words. Why should I believe you?" Murong Jingxuan look to her in discontent. Just

thinking of Su Qingyan's behavior earlier, he could only bitterly smile.

She look to the spot the scorpion bit earlier. When she look towards Murong Jingxuan again, she

smiled, "Shizi, why don't I prove to you that this ghost ringed scorpion has become my servant?"
