My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too-Chapter 1235 - 1241: Trouble at the County Governor Mansion (Part 5)
Lin Ruoyu pondered for a long moment and then said, "I don’t feel at ease with you going alone. If not, I will accompany you on this journey..."
"No need."
Mu Ruyue refused Lin Ruoyu without a second thought.
"You don’t need to worry. In Beifeng Plain, my Master is stationed. If something happens to the County Governor Mansion, he will definitely know. He might already be on his way to Nanyang County. With him around, I won’t be in any danger, so I need you to stay at the Divine Academy. There are people here that I can’t rest easy about..."
Mu Ruyue was, of course, referring to Lisa and the others.
If Lin Ruoyu were to leave, and the Divine Sect’s strongmen came, there would be no one to stop them. Therefore, no matter what, Lin Ruoyu cannot leave...
"I understand. No matter what, you must take care and stay safe."
Lin Ruoyu nodded slightly, "If you really can’t handle it, come back and find me. I’ll fight for you."
This time, when leaving the Divine Academy, Mu Ruyue didn’t inform anyone, choosing to sneak away alone. Even the Wang Brothers, who came to deliver messages, didn’t know about her departure.
...
County Governor Mansion.
A stench of blood wafted out from the courtyard, filled with a heavy metallic smell...
Mu Ruyue’s heart was as if struck by a heavy hammer, instantly clogged with discomfort. Her gaze swept over the corpses piled in the courtyard, and she said softly, "I’m sorry, I came back too late..."
Now, a long time had passed since their deaths. Even if she wanted to help them achieve rebirth, it was impossible...
Unless their souls had found a body before she arrived, otherwise, these people had truly vanished from the world...
If she hadn’t left the County Governor Mansion, perhaps nothing would have happened.
Mu Ruyue’s gaze fell upon the corpse of Kong Fan, whose eyes were still open. She slowly walked over, gently brushing her fingers over his eyelids, lowering her gaze slightly. At that moment, her tone was filled with unwavering determination...
"Old Housekeeper, rest assured, your deep-seated hatred, I will surely avenge!"
A gentle breeze passed by, her long hair fluttering.
Mu Ruyue slowly stood up, her heart full of rising anger: "Divine Sect? Zhu Ziyu? Since you’ve chosen to harm my people, then I, Mu Ruyue, swear here and now, that one day, I will have your blood debt paid in blood!"
As if to match her mood, the once gentle breeze suddenly intensified, whipping her long hair into a wild dance in the wind...
"Commandery Governor!"
Suddenly, a voice of surprise came from behind.
As Mu Ruyue turned, she saw Qiu Mei walking in from the courtyard entrance.
"I heard someone report that you had returned, so I came to see, and didn’t expect you really returned to Nanyang County. Actually, you shouldn’t have come..."
Mu Ruyue’s eyes took in the bloody scene in the courtyard, as if it had just suffered a massacre, turning her gaze increasingly blood-red.
"Qiu Mei, can I ask you to do something for me?"
"What is it?"
"Help me bury these people..."
Mu Ruyue lightly raised her gaze and said, "Also, tell me what really happened during this time."
Qiu Mei hesitated for a moment, lightly biting her red lips, "That day, a strongman came to the door. When I and the Wen Family arrived, we saw the courtyard full of corpses. Afterward, when some of the other strongmen heard about what happened here, they rushed to the County Governor Mansion, grabbing all the Elixirs..."
She and the Wen Family tried to stop those from looting, but it led to a conflict. Under the combined forces of many factions, there were countless injuries...
