The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 72 The Perverted Female Assassin

The next day, Qi Yuxuan kept thinking about the dream he had the night before, so he wondered what method he could use to uncover the secret of the jade pendant.

After thinking it over and over, he couldn't come up with a good solution, so he decided to go and talk to Yin Lihen.

As she rode in the carriage to Yin Lihen's residence, she saw two women inside the carriage; they were two women she recognized.

Qi Yuxuan was referring to none other than Qiu Ziyue and Liu Mengdie.

Qiu Ziyue and Liu Mengdie were looking at jewelry in a jewelry store on the street, chatting and laughing, as if they were very close friends.

"Strange, how do these two know each other? Judging from their appearance, it seems like they've known each other for quite some time," Qi Yuxuan wondered.

Upon arriving at Yin Lihen's residence, the two set out wine and dishes, drinking and chatting as they went.

"Do you know Miss Liu Mengdie? She's the one you used to frequent the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, hoping to catch a glimpse of her beauty," Qi Yuxuan asked Yin Lihen.

"I know, Brother Yuxuan, why are you asking about this today?" Yin Lihen asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, I was just curious. I saw her with Qiu Ziyue today, and they seemed very happy. You know, Qiu Ziyue has been in the Valley of Passion all these years, but they seemed to be having a great time chatting," Qi Yuxuan said.

"What? Are you crazy? I haven't contacted her for a long time, and besides, she's no longer at Baihualou. What's wrong with you, kid?" Yin Lihen said.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to inquire about some things concerning Liu Mengdie," Qi Yuxuan said.

“You mean Miss Liu? I don’t know much about her either. Back in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, their Mama Liu seemed to have said something. She was a maid of the Tao family, but someone mistook her for a young lady of the Tao family and sold her to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. After that, as you know, she was redeemed by the Valley Master of the Valley of Resentment,” Yin Lihen said.

"What, so that's how it is," Qi Yuxuan's eyes dimmed, as if he was deep in thought.

After chatting with Yin Lihen for a while, Qi Yuxuan got up to say goodbye.

Qi Yuxuan sat in the carriage, pondering Yin Lihen's words, unable to make sense of them.

Lost in thought, the carriage suddenly lurched, followed by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.

"What happened?" Qi Yuxuan asked in a panic.

Lin Mohan quickly stood up and looked out the carriage window. He saw several dark figures rushing in from all directions, holding sharp blades, and blocking the carriage in front.

A scream came from the carriage in front: "Who are you people? Why are you doing this?"

Qi Yuxuan recognized the voices and immediately pushed open the carriage door, leaping forward to engage in a fierce battle with the assassins.

His swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, every movement was as fast as lightning, powerful and fierce, and in no time he forced the assassins to retreat.

However, just when Qi Yuxuan thought he was safe, an assassin suddenly darted out from the shadows and headed straight for the carriage.

Qi Yuxuan shouted and leaped towards the assassin, and the two began to fight beside the carriage.

In the end, Qi Yuxuan stabbed the assassin's wrist with his sword, forcing her to drop the knife.

Qi Yuxuan kicked away the assassin's knife, pinned her to the ground, and demanded sharply, "Speak! Who sent you? Why did you do this?"

The assassin struggled a few times, but was powerless to resist.

Under the moonlight, Qi Yuxuan tore off his mask and saw the assassin's face clearly—it was a woman, no more than twenty years old, with a hint of madness and resentment in her eyes.

"Let me go!" the woman cried hoarsely.

Qi Yuxuan did not let go, but continued to press, "Tell me, why did you do this?"

After catching her breath, the woman finally spoke, "I love dancing, but I was eliminated in the preliminaries. I was going crazy seeing how well the four beauties danced."

The woman's voice was frantic, and she seemed somewhat delirious.

"Haha, Qiu Ziyue is injured, Qi Yushuang is poisoned, Zhao Wanqing is injured, and now only Liu Mengdie is still living a good life. I think, as long as I kill her, I will be the next champion!"

Qi Yuxuan felt a chill and turned to look at Liu Mengdie, who had already come out of the carriage.

Liu Mengdie also heard these words, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"You're absolutely insane!"

Liu Mengdie said in a trembling voice, "To do such a thing for a championship that is so uncertain!"

The woman's eyes grew even more frantic: "You don't understand, dance is everything to me!"

Qi Yuxuan sighed, tied the woman up, and handed her over to the guards who arrived shortly afterward.

He came to Liu Mengdie's side and gently comforted her: "Miss Liu, don't be afraid, it's all over now. This kind of person is just an exception; most people don't think that way."

Liu Mengdie nodded, but the shock in her heart lingered for a long time.

Looking into Qi Yuxuan's determined gaze, she felt a surge of gratitude.

Qi Yuxuan said, "How about this, Miss Liu, I will escort you back now to ensure your safety."

Liu Mengdie nodded.

A newfound trust grew between Qi Yuxuan and Liu Mengdie.

The carriage continued its journey, and the night gradually returned to tranquility.

Qi Yuxuan looked at Liu Mengdie, cleared his throat, and asked, "Miss Liu, do you know Miss Qiu Ziyue? I heard you call her 'sister'."

Liu Mengdie smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I'm not very familiar with her. It's just that I saw her dancing skills at the piano competition that day, and they were truly remarkable. I admire her very much, so I respectfully call her 'elder sister'."

Qi Yuxuan nodded, and said thoughtfully, "I see. Miss Qiu is indeed a talented person, and many people admire her."

Liu Mengdie nodded, a hint of longing in her eyes: "Yes, I also hope that one day I can be like her, not only achieving something in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also making greater progress in dance."

Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and encouraged him, "I believe you can do it. Your piano skills are already outstanding."

A blush rose on Liu Mengdie's face, and she said softly, "Thank you, Young Master Qi."

The carriage moved slowly through the night, and the conversation between the two made the journey warm and pleasant.

Qi Yuxuan's gaze remained tenderly fixed on Liu Mengdie, as if he saw endless possibilities in her.

The carriage continued its journey in the silent night.

Qi Yuxuan suddenly remembered something, took out a jade pendant from his pocket, handed it to Liu Mengdie, and asked softly, "Miss Liu, do you recognize this?"

Liu Mengdie took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

The jade pendant was entirely emerald green, carved with exquisite patterns, and in the center was the character "陶" (Tao). Her eyes flickered slightly, and a complex emotion welled up within her.

“This is… a jade pendant from the Tao family.” Liu Mengdie’s voice trembled slightly.

Qi Yuxuan nodded, looking at her gently: "That's right, this is a jade pendant I obtained by chance. I want to know if it has anything to do with you."

Liu Mengdie took a deep breath and decided to stop hiding it. After all, the assassination attempt she had just experienced had further strengthened her trust in Qi Yuxuan.

She said softly, "Young Master Qi, actually I was a member of the Tao family when I was a child. This jade pendant is the symbol of the Tao family."

Qi Yuxuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "The Tao family? You mean, you were originally a member of the Tao family?"

Liu Mengdie nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes: "Yes. When I was little, I was Tao Ling'er's maid, who is now Sister Qiu's maid. Back then, we got along very well and talked about everything."

I listened quietly without interrupting her.

"Later, the Tao family suffered a great calamity, the family was destroyed, and I was forced to leave home."

Tears welled up in Liu Mengdie's eyes. "I was sold to a brothel and began a different life. To survive, I changed my name to Liu Mengdie and worked hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, hoping to one day regain my freedom."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

He said softly, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to have such a tragic experience."

Liu Mengdie raised her head and looked into Qi Yuxuan's gentle gaze, feeling a warmth in her heart. She then lowered her head and gently stroked the patterns on the surface, her eyes sparkling with memories.

She said softly, "Thank you for saving my life, Young Master Qi. Is there anything else you want to ask me? I will tell you anything I know."

Qi Yuxuan looked at Liu Mengdie and thought to himself, "This Miss Liu is really a smart person."
