The Fourth Lady

Chapter 72 Ning Siyao's Plan II

Granny Ruo never expected that Qingyan would mention these things at a time like this, and that

everything was nothing like how she'd imagined.

What she'd imagined was that by now, Qingyan should have already fallen asleep. And she would just

have to wait until the people Ning Siyao sends come to abduct her. Afterwards, she can leave this

place.

Secretly without a trace, no one would know that Su Qingyan's death was once caused by her. But

then, why did it turn out like this now? Could it be that she overlooked something?

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Granny Ruo looked to Qingyan refusing to admit it. Although she

felt a bit guilty, she still didn't want to admit to the fact that she'd already betrayed Yingshuang yard.

Qingyan smiled, "Granny Ruo, your grandsons, your sons, your daughter-in-laws, are you not curious

to how they died? Did you really think that it was Ning Siyao that sent someone to kill them?"

Granny Ruo listened to Qingyan's words, and her eyes widened. She pointed to Qingyan, a bit loss for

words, "It was you. It was you that killed them!"

Qingyan listened, not denying granny Ruo's words. She raised her head and looked to granny Ruo, her

tone condescendingly cold, "That's right. It was me. That's because you betrayed me first."

Granny Ruo was still shaking her head, "Miss, I've never betrayed you before. Why did you want to kill

my grandsons!"

"No?" Su Qingyan laughed out loud, "If you really didn't intend on harming me, then why did your

grandsons died? The pastries they ate were the ones you gave to me." Qingyan walked closer to

granny Ruo still carrying a smile on her face, "In the end, you were the one that killed them."

Granny Ruo was still unable to believe what she'd just heard, because she'd always concealed this

secret really well. It was impossible for Su Qingyan to have known about her family, furthermore they

lived in that remote of an area.

"You're definitely lying to me. That's why you're saying these things. Miss, I really didn't betray you!"

With that said, granny Ruo loudly bowed her head to the ground.

Qingyan took the container from Qingdai's hands. She opened it at once and placed everything out in

front of granny Ruo, "Granny Ruo, do you know what this is?"

Seeing the red bean rice cake on the ground, granny Ruo asked in confusion, "Isn't this miss' favorite

red bean rice cake?"

"That's correct. This one is the one you just brought over." Qingyan crouched down and picked up the

red bean rice cake off the ground, preparing to shove it into granny Ruo's mouth.

"Granny Ruo, do you want to know what kind of poison is injected in this?"

When granny Ruo saw Qingyan, she immediately covered her mouth, but she simply wasn't a match

for Qingdai and Chishao. The two of them strongly held down her arms, and she could only watch as

Qingyan forced the cake into her mouth.

"Granny Ruo, even though it has come to this, you still have no intention of confessing. So I'll just have

to say it for you." The corner of Qingyan's lip curled up.

Qingyan told her everything, including every single thing that granny Ruo ever did. Although she was

forcing a smile on her face, granny Ruo still could feel the dense chill behind her words. She seemed to

have never seen this kind of Qingyan before.

"Granny Ruo, did you know that every single thing you've done were all within my calculations,

including Ning Siyao's plan." Qingyan carried Yaoyao in her arms as she nonchalantly spoke, "Since This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

she's sent you to me, did you really think I'd still let you stay?"

"Miss, please have mercy, it was all because of my greed!" Granny Ruo spoke, unable to articulate her

words. She even loudly bowed her head to the ground, but none of this entered Qingyan's eyes.

Qingyan turned to granny Ruo and spat out a bug from her mouth. She held the bug in her palm and

whispered, "Ling'er, you should know what to do."

With that said, she crouched down and placed it down on the ground. In an instant, it crawled towards

granny Ruo. By the time granny Ruo discovered that it was a scorpion, moreover a scorpion that she'd

never seen before, it had already dug into her body before she could even react.

She could feel a piercing pain, and not long after, she passed out.

Seeing granny Ruo passed out, Fengqing lifted her up, "Miss, what should we do with her? Throw her

into the corpse pile*?"

(*TN: Can't remember if I'd explained this before, but a 'corpse pile' was mostly a hole dug out in the

middle of the wilderness where bodies are just thrown in and piled on top of each other. Servants,

criminals, and anyone low in status that doesn't get a proper burial are thrown here.)

"Of course not." Qingyan smiled, "Throw her into the well that's in Ning Siyao's yard for me."

Fengqing looked to Qingyan, knowing what kind of idea she was having. That well in Ning Siyao's yard

was an abandoned well. It's said that many of the servants tortured to death by Ning Siyao were all

thrown into that well.

And when the suitable time comes, the bugs that the scorpion in granny Ruo's body will give rise to will

all rush forth one after another out of that well. As for how the final outcome will be, it'll all depend on

Ning Siyao's luck.

"Understood." Fengqing disappeared from Yingshuang yard, carrying granny Ruo's body.

"Also, you all need to remember that granny Ruo never came to my yard." Qingyan turned around,

showing a gentle smile on her face. "Beside, you all should know what to do about this matter."

"Yes." All the servants in the yard respectfully replied to her.

After Qingyan changed her outfit, she let Fengqing take her to Julong residence where Murong

Jingxuan was at. And all of this was done in secret. Aside from the few servant girls close to Qingyan,

not a single person knew.

And the one that was asleep on Qingyan's bed at that moment was Su Qingyuan, who'd been passed

out for a long time already.

In Ning Siyao's yard, Ning Siyao was meeting with an impressive master that can secretly abduct Su

Qingyan without a trace.

"Are you certain you can send Su Qingyan to Yi Brothel alive?" Ning Siyao looked at the man before

her and skeptically asked.

The man before her looked feeble and weak, making her feel unable to believe him.

The man in black smirked, "Madam, why don't you just see for yourself tomorrow?"

"Alright." Ning Siyao brought out an ingot of gold and placed it into the man's hand, "This is the deposit;

after the matter is settled, I'll give you the other half."

After taking the gold, the man disappeared from Ning Siyao's yard.

Ning Siyao looked out to the gradually darkening skies and delightfully smiled.

It'll absolutely be a good day tomorrow.

Su Qingyan, the curtain will fall on everything tomorrow. And you will soon become the laughing stock

of Diqiu. Don't blame me for being too ruthless, you can only blame yourself for blocking my Yuan'er's

path.

When Ning Siyao thought of Su Qingyuan, she let out a satisfied smile. She headed alone to Su

Qingyuan's yard. As she stepped into Su Qingyuan's yard, she saw that Qingyuan was currently

reading a book, and she didn't intend on bothering her.

But Su Qingyuan already saw Ning Siyao, so she opened the door with a smile, "Mother, why did you

come? Yuan'er is currently reading a book."

Ning Siyao walked into the room and patted Su Qingyuan on the hand, "I was worried about you, that's

why I came to check on you."

Su Qingyuan glanced to the side to Nianxia and replied with a smile, "Mother don't worry, Yuan'er is

very safe here. There definitely won't be anyone that will dare bully me."
