Chapter 703.1: Investigate thoroughly

Seeing that she had been exposed, the maidservant immediately pulled a dagger from her bosom. Her disposition changed, and she immediately charged towards Su Xi-er. b.i.t.c.h, your life ends now.

Needless to say, Wu Ling swiftly came forward to intercept her. However, due to the womans peculiar moves, Pei Qianhaos faithful guard was unable to gain a definite advantage.

Wu Ling, aim for her wrist. Su Xi-er could tell that despite the womans crafty moves, she had been hiding her wrist area extremely well.

The woman furiously attempted to retreat upon hearing Su Xi-ers words, but her efforts were futile as Wu Ling surged forward and seized her wrist, rendering her helpless.

You can kill me or do as you please. The maidservant was obstinate, not willing to admit defeat.

Su Xi-er walked forward, her eyes layered with frost. Out with it, who sent you here?

The maidservants gaze was seething as she bit her down on her lips. Suddenly reminded of something, Su Xi-er forced open the womans mouth. When she found a small packet hidden between the womans teeth, Su Xi-er promptly dislocated the formers jaw.

Wu Ling, search her and confiscate everything that may give her a chance to commit suicide. Su Xi-er instructed coldly.

Wu Ling quickly carried out his orders, smas.h.i.+ng any weapons he found on the womans person on the floor.

Younger Sister, be more careful. Du Ling was a little nervous when he saw her actions. He wasnt the only one, as Pei Qianhao shared the same thoughts.

Xi-er shouldnt move so vigorously while shes pregnant.

Su Xi-er smiled. Dont worry, Im fine.

Realising that she no longer had any control over her own fate, the maidservants expression wilted, and an air of gloominess came over her.

Su Xi-er cracked the womans jaw back in place before continuing her questioning.

Youre still not willing to say?

Panic flashed past the maidservants face, but she still kept her silence.

Fine then. Wu Ling, take her away, and use whatever method you can to find out her ident.i.ty and background.

Suddenly, the maidservant fell to the floor, spasming violently as her mouth began foaming and an incredulous look flooded her eyes. Pei

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, however, she had stopped breathing.

Princess Consort, shes dead. Wu Ling reported.

Su Xi-ers eyes turned cold. A-Jing, it looks like we must settle the matters in Xiliu as soon as possible and return to Beimin.

Having heard the name Pei, Du Ling couldnt help but a.s.sociate it with the relations.h.i.+p between Pei Qianhao and the Pei Family, and his eyes frosted over.

Pei Qianhao sneered. It seems like this Prince has been too benevolent towards them.

Wu Ling, hang this person outside the entrance of the Pei Residence, and dont let anyone bring her down. Pei Qianhao ordered coldly.

Du Ling gave him an approving look.

Killing a chicken to warn the monkey; he made good use of this move.

Xi-er, you are also likely tired. Lets go back and rest. Pei Qianhao suggested, throwing a look at Wu Ling before he left.

Wu Ling immediately understood what Pei Qianhao was hinting at.

Im really failing at my job as a guard. I was completely unprepared against such a person who snuck into the posthouse.

Du Ling patted Wu Lings shoulder before leaving without another word..

After returning to Su Xi-ers room, Pei Qianhao anxiously placed Su Xi-er down on the bed and examined her carefully.

Xi-er, if something similar happens next time, you mustnt take the risk.
