The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1770: He Ran Away

"Your last words, for revenge, you sacrificed your entire life, also took mine, and ruined their whole family!" Jian Shiqing whispered painfully to himself, not understanding the depth of hatred in Zhu Haisheng’s heart, only feeling that making him do such a thing was as painful as gouging his heart.

He was someone who understood how to calculate people’s hearts. He truly did not know what he should do. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Jian Shiqing wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, pushed open the door, and quickly ran back to the room where Zhu Haisheng’s body lay. Looking at the cold corpse, he heavily kowtowed twice, then got up and left indignantly.

A black fast horse galloped across the wilderness, and he didn’t know where he should go, or if he would ever return.

...

Yue Rujing was filled with regret, wishing he could slap himself twice.

"It’s all my fault for being too reckless. I thought the evidence was irrefutable, but I didn’t expect him to pull such a trick. Now that he’s dead and there’s no proof, the evidence is gone too. Brother, even if we had mouths all over our bodies, we couldn’t explain it. Unless we kill all the insiders in this villa. But you’re not that kind of person."

Yue Rujing knew very well that Jin Zijin would never kill the innocent recklessly.

Jin Zijin pursed his lips, and after a long silence, he said, "He set up this trap over a decade ago, and he has been lurking here for over a decade, just for this day. Ajing, it’s not your fault."

Hearing Jin Zijin say this, Yue Rujing felt much better, thinking: Brother is still so understanding.

"So what do we do now? The servants at Tianhai Mountain Villa may not dare to say anything openly, but in their hearts, they’ve accepted Zhu Haisheng’s last words, saying that you sent me to kill him at midnight to silence him. There’s even talk that the Commandery Princess stayed in the young master’s courtyard in Tianhai Mountain Villa for a long time, and the two of them went to Beiyi together. They say our Luoyin has lost her chastity long ago! Brother, I hate that I can’t cut off those who spread such rumors with one slash!"

Jin Zijin did not speak but instead turned his head and asked, "Have they all arrived?"

"Yeah, huh?"

Yue Rujing thought for a moment before he understood what he meant.

He said, "Only Jian Shiqing has returned so far, but the others should be arriving soon!"

As he was speaking, a Hidden Guard beside Yue Rujing hurriedly ran over and said urgently, "Prince, Marquess, Mr. Jian has escaped!"

Both were struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

"Escaped? Explain, what do you mean by escaped?" Yue Rujing grabbed the Hidden Guard’s collar and asked anxiously.

The Hidden Guard knelt on one knee and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jian is highly skilled in martial arts, he defeated several of our brothers, Marquess. It’s our incompetence, not Mr. Jian’s fault."

Yue Rujing’s mouth twitched, and he looked at Jin Zijin, saying, "He’s highly skilled in martial arts?"

Jin Zijin nodded slightly, saying, "Though I’ve never seen him fight, according to Luoyin, his martial arts are indeed quite good, but he has always hidden his skills, no one knew."

Yue Rujing: "..." What kind of people are these? Sure enough, there isn’t a single normal person in this Tianhai Mountain Villa.

"Hurry up and chase him!" Yue Rujing angrily ordered the Hidden Guard, "Take more men with you!"

"Yes, Marquess!" The Hidden Guard quickly disappeared!

What Yue Rujing couldn’t understand was... "Brother, why did he run?"

Jin Zijin pursed his lips and said nothing.

As if realizing something, he immediately turned to walk toward Zhu Haisheng’s courtyard, but after only a few steps, he stopped again.

"Brother, what’s going on?" Yue Rujing looked at his strange actions with a face full of surprise.

Jin Zijin sighed and said, "We might have overlooked something."
