She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 352 - 351 It’s all you, you caused your brother’s death

Chapter 352: Chapter 351 It’s all you, you caused your brother’s death

Faced with Huai Xinmei’s hysteria,

Lady Chen methodically adjusted the wrinkled lapel of her garment and sighed.

"Death is irreversible. I hope Miss Huai will not get so angry. You are now the only one left in your second branch. If you spoil your health in a fit of anger, who will support your father in the future?" She shook her head seemingly in sympathy and finally spoke to the verge of collapse Huai Xinmei.

"Young Master Huai Xin died in the courtyard once occupied by Yan Wanqing. As for why he was there, I believe Miss Huai is more aware than I am," Lady Chen said with a deep look in her eyes and a meaningful smile.

They were all schemers with hidden agendas.

The second branch simply aimed to present a fait accompli to coerce and control Princess Anping.

Who would have thought that she had already been stained with so much blood upon leaving the Capital City? An heir of a marquis residence could be killed just like that without giving any consideration to the face of the marquis’s second branch.

This was probably something the crafty Huai Xinmei had not anticipated.

Retreating back two steps after hearing this, Huai Xinmei gasped.

"What do you mean... What does your brother’s death have to do with you?!" Hearing this, Second Master bellowed at Huai Xinmei, "What exactly have you been plotting behind my back?! Speak up—!"

"The Princess Anping is indeed ruthless. She directly used Corpse Dissolving Liquid to dissolve Young Master Huai Xin’s body, which is why no one could find him later on," Lady Chen continued. "If it wasn’t for a maid in the residence who kept watching from a hidden spot, this matter would have gone completely unnoticed."

"Where is the maid?" Huai Xinmei demanded, staring at Lady Chen.

Lady Chen stretched out a hand in front of her, "You can have the maid, but I need to see your commitment to the alliance. Everyone present shares a deep hatred for Yan Wanqing. Now we can finally trust each other with our backs, right?"

The corners of Huai Xinmei’s eyes were bloodshot, nearly dripping blood.

Without a second word, she placed her hand in Lady Chen’s, "I’m in." She would make Yan Wanqing pay in blood for her blood debts!

Her brother!

The brother she had raised for eighteen years ended up without even a body left!

How dare Yan Wanqing kill him on a whim?!

"Vengeance for my brother is imperative, I will make Yan Wanqing die without a place to bury her," she stated each word deliberately.

Lady Chen was very pleased, "That’s perfect."

Both women turned their gaze toward Wu Zhen in unison, "What about you?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Killing Yan Wanqing was my idea. Do you really need to question my resolve?" Wu Zhen immediately stepped forward and grabbed their hands.

The three hands clasped tightly in the air, forging an alliance, while only Second Master Huai Xin leaned against the table, his head bowed and half of his face hidden in the shadows, lost in thought.

"Stormy Building is a particularly troublesome matter. We must strip Yan Wanqing of this power first, or we won’t have the means to move against her," Lady Chen had been studying Yan Wanqing these days, thinking of ways to get revenge.

"My people got killed before they even so much as touched her," said Lady Chen, both angry and helpless about the situation.

Wu Zhen nodded, "The same for my men. And to be honest, I even had someone place an order with Stormy Building to try to take out Yan Wanqing."

Such a fool, to brag about such a matter.

After listening, Lady Chen glanced indifferently at Wu Zhen.

Huai Xinmei had been silent all along.

Since learning of her brother Huai Xin’s death, she had been enveloped in an aura of oppressive darkness.

She appeared extremely despondent and dangerous.

"...Since that’s the case, leave Stormy Building to me. I’ll make sure it becomes paralyzed. You all should take this opportunity to gather your forces and swiftly kill Yan Wanqing. Once she’s dead, Stormy Building will crumble, and the gold mines will be yours while Stormy Building will be mine," Huai Xinmei spoke out.

A turn of good fortune?

Wu Zhen was surprised inside, "...Doesn’t the second branch want the gold mines?"

"If Great Aunt likes them, she can simply take them," Huai Xinmei said indifferently.

That’s exactly the phrase I was waiting for.

Wu Zhen rolled his eyes behind her back, thinking the little bitch was putting on quite the pretense of nobility.

Who doesn’t die for wealth? Now that Huai Xin is gone, she will have no one to rely on in the future. It would be better for her to save more for her dowry, so she won’t be looked down upon by her husband’s family when she marries.

Of course, Wu Zhen wouldn’t go out of her way to point this out to Huai Xinmei.

She would rather this little bitch suffer through a life of turmoil and despair, finding joy in her heart from it.

Lady Chen stood by, watching the reactions from both sides and couldn’t help but sneer internally.

It didn’t matter.

All she wanted was Yan Wanqing’s blood debt repaid with blood.

For that, she was willing to go through fire and water, even if it meant descending to hell and being doomed to eternal unrest, she was determined to do it!

"But just relying on us still isn’t enough..." Lady Chen voiced her concern, "There is only one chance, and I must ensure it’s foolproof, I cannot let my people die in vain again."

"I share the same worry, my lady," Wu Zhen agreed.

In this time, she had lost quite a few Dead Soldiers.

"Currently, what everyone fears is the Stormy Building. Once Stormy Building falls, these people will still come together to help us fight against Yan Wanqing," Huai Xinmei spoke grimly, "When the wall falls, everyone will push. This is a principle everyone understands."

"Then let’s end it here for today. You two go back and prepare your men; wait for my message," Huai Xinmei dropped these words and began shooing them away.

Having achieved their goals, neither Wu Zhen nor Lady Chen would stay any longer.

Within the cramped room, only the father and daughter remained.

The Second Master lifted his head to look at Huai Xinmei, his voice aged and hoarse, "...Tell your father, what did you have your brother do that night?"

"Huai Xin had always been plotting against Yan Wanqing, to the extent of losing sleep and appetite, so I simply employed a small scheme—"

"Slap—!" Before Huai Xinmei could finish, she was met with a slap across the face from her father.

The slap swiftly swelled half of her face and drew blood at the corner of her mouth.

"You killed your brother! Do you understand?!" The Second Master said coldly, word by word, pointing trembling fingers at Huai Xinmei, "You employed your ’small scheme’, and now we cannot even find a place for your brother’s bones. How is your father supposed to worship him during Qingming Festival?"

Having been blessed with a son in his old age, he naturally doted on Huai Xin a bit more.

Additionally, having only this one legitimate son, who had always been compliant, his favor was unsparing.

Yet, who could have imagined that in his old age, he would face the calamity of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one?

Gazing at Huai Xinmei, he grieved intensely, "You always like to outsmart others. Not thoroughly understanding who Yan Wanqing is, you sent your brother to his death. Return my son’s life to me!"

Huai Xinmei was shaken by the shoulders by the Second Master, her whole being fluttering like a leaf in the autumn wind. She bowed her head in silence, letting her father vent his rage on her.

It took quite a while for the Second Master’s emotions to stabilize.

He covered his face and wept, "...Let’s put an end to this matter."

"What do you mean?" Huai Xinmei was puzzled.

The Second Master’s eyes were filled with deep sorrow, "Yan Wanqing isn’t someone we can afford to provoke. You mustn’t follow Wu Zhen’s instigation; she’s no good. Let’s end this here. I’ve already lost your brother; I can’t afford to lose you as well. How would I face your mother in the afterlife?"

"No way!" Huai Xinmei suddenly erupted in fury, frantically pleading, "Yan Wanqing killed Huai Xin, I must avenge him. How can you say just to let it go, Father?! ’An eye for an eye’ is the natural order of justice. No one can stop me. Father, if you’re scared, feel free to run for your life, but I’m not afraid!"

She gazed deeply at the Second Master, truly unable to comprehend.

How the same man who had just been so anguished could suddenly give up on revenge so easily.

"Could you please heed your father’s advice?" the Second Master’s voice was hoarse, "You’ve been highly intelligent since you were young and were raised by your father as though you were a son, full of pride and arrogance. But my daughter, there are always people better than you, skies beyond our skies. Yan Wanqing even managed to escape treason unscathed. You are simply no match for her—"

"The same words still stand, if Father is afraid, then just go and save yourself. I must avenge Huai Xin. My brother died a terrible death and I cannot swallow this anger no matter what, even if it means heading to the underworld. Yan Wanqing owes my Huai Family a life!"
