Chapter 202: Snowy Night Shock

"I have left someone in the mansion, don't be afraid." Rong Che smiled and left, still thinking in his heart that he would come back to coax Yunniang after finishing this.

He was afraid that someone would get there first.

Lu Chaochao looked around and saw that many guards had been added to the mansion.

Xu was still laughing and joking: "I am a middle-aged woman, why do I need such a scene?"

"Can a flower-picking thief still like a woman in her thirties?"

Dengzhi said while removing the hair ornaments on Xu's head: "Madam, I don't agree with what you said."

"When you were in the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, you were wasted by them and your face turned pale."

"But after the divorce, your face is getting better day by day."

"Besides, I heard that..."

"This time, the flower-picking thief is a little different. He doesn't enter the room of young women, but only picks young women."

"It is said that four women have been killed, each of them is about thirty-four years old." Even the outside world speculated that the other party was looking for something.

Dengzhi was a little worried.

Xu is exactly thirty-four this year.

"Don't worry, there are Chaochao's secret guards and General Rong's men in the mansion."

Dengzhi was worried and stayed outside the door all night.

Last night was New Year's Eve. He stayed up all night and began to doze off in the second half of the night.

Lu Chaochao yawned and lay drowsy on the bed. There was a cold wind outside.

The house was warm and the little guy couldn't open his eyes.

I don't know when it started to snow again.

The snow fell, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on the treetops, and the sight was white.

The world seemed to be quiet.

Lu Chaochao was sleeping soundly.

The house seemed a little cold, and the little guy curled up.

Sleeping...

Lu Chaochao suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

The little guy was breathing heavily, and his eyes were full of panic.

At some point, the candlelight in the house had gone out, and even the charcoal fire in the house had gone out.

This would never have happened in the past.

Lu Chaochao was wearing a thin inner garment, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.

She slid down from the bed: "Sister Yushu?"

No response.

Lu Chaochao pursed her lips: "Uncle Secret Guard?"

Still no response.

Lu Chaochao's face turned pale, and she hurriedly moved a stool and opened the door.

There was a blizzard outside the house, and it was all white. The patrolling guards had never seen it, and the whole house was filled with a strange silence.

Lu Chaochao stepped barefoot in the snow, and she shivered with cold.

She stepped down and lifted her feet with difficulty.

The snow was too deep, and she was too short, and she almost stumbled towards Xu's room.

"Mother, mother, mother..."

Sure enough, she saw the little maid who had been knocked unconscious on the ground in the snow.

She had already frozen to death.

Lu Chao ran to the main courtyard in a hurry. The maids in the courtyard fell to the ground. Fortunately, they were just knocked unconscious.

There was a thin line of blood on the guards' necks.

It seemed that their throats were instantly blocked.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main courtyard was also tense.

Dengzhi suppressed the fear in his throat and stopped in front of Xu, pleading: "I am younger than Madam, can I serve you?"

"Please spare Madam."

"Dengzhi, there is no need to do this! We won't beg him!" Xu's hands and feet were cold, and she held Dengzhi tightly, not allowing her to come forward.

The man covered in black clothes had extremely cruel means, and Xu knew it.

The fact that he could walk here meant that the defense outside was almost completely broken.

The man's voice was hoarse, and the long knife in his hand was dripping with blood.

"You are thirty-four this year?" He pointed directly at Xu.

Xu took a deep breath: "Yes."

Xu felt a chill in her heart.

"Thirty-four, born in winter. Have you... seen this thing?" The man's fingers were pale, and he took out a piece of paper with a jade pendant drawn on it.

Xu's eyes fell on the painting.

The dragon-patterned auspicious cloud pendant was the ancestral jade pendant of the Xu family.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she quickly lowered her head: "No."

Dengzhi's breathing tightened slightly, and the man noticed it when she just messed up her breathing.

Before she could speak, the man appeared in front of her in an instant and grabbed her neck tightly.

"You have seen the jade pendant? Right? Where is it?"

Dengzhi's throat was tightly grabbed, her feet off the ground, and she slapped the man's arm with difficulty.

But the man was not moved at all.

"The jade pendant is yours, right?" He slowly looked at Xu, his eyes were crazy.

"Run... husband... run..." Dengzhi's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of bloodshot.

"Finally found you!"

"Finally found you!"

"So you were hiding here!" The man looked crazy, the black one-piece hat on his head fell off, and his face was abnormally pale.

Xu ran out of the door like crazy.

But before she touched the door.

The man threw Dengzhi out fiercely and hit her.

He knocked Xu to the ground directly.

"Dengzhi, Dengzhi!" Xu cried in pain, ignoring the pain, hugged Dengzhi and burst into tears.

"Who are you? I have no grudges against you, why do you want to hurt me?" Xu burst into tears when she saw the shocking scars on Dengzhi's neck.

"I have been kind all my life and never made enemies with others. Who are you!" Xu didn't understand it now.

The other party was probably here for her.

The people who were killed a few days ago were all her scapegoats.

The man's voice was gloomy and full of coldness.

"Why? Just because you should have died, you shouldn't have been born! Give me the jade pendant!" The man held a knife and pressed forward step by step.

"I've been looking for you for years, and you're hiding here!"

"It's so hard for me to find you."

Xu fell to the ground and stepped back.

"Do you have a grudge against the Xu family?" Xu suppressed her fear and asked calmly. Her back was soaked with cold sweat and she felt cold all over.

The man sneered.

"Xu family? What is the Xu family? Is he worthy of being our enemy?"

"It seems that the Xu family has kept you a secret very well. The Xu family never told you that you are an adopted daughter, right?" The man chuckled.

Xu was slightly stunned, an adopted daughter?

She is not the biological daughter of the Xu family?

The Xu family has three sons and one daughter, and she is the only daughter. Her parents love her more than her three brothers!

"How, how is it possible? Absolutely impossible!" Xu shook her head frantically.

"Whether you believe it or not, you will never be able to step out of the door alive tonight!" The man had a cruel smile on his lips.

"Hand over the jade pendant, and I will let you die happily."

Xu bit her lips tightly. The jade pendant had been given to Chao Chao, and she could not lead anyone there!

The man looked at Xu's beautiful figure, with madness in his eyes.

"If that's the case, don't blame me!"

"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to sleep with such a noble bloodline..." The man looked at Xu wantonly, grabbed Xu, and ripped off her clothes on her shoulders.

Revealing her snow-white shoulders.

Xu's scream was about to overflow, and suddenly, there was a faint knock on the door.

"Mother..."

"Mother, are you asleep?" Lu Chaochao's childish voice, mixed with the sound of the wind, made Xu shudder violently.

She stopped screaming and resisting, she held the man's hand tightly.

She was able to remain calm, but her eyes showed panic.

This was her only weakness.
