Chapter 1495: Chapter 1490: Miaoyan’s Scheming

Mu Qianya naturally couldn’t keep up with their pace, but when she looked down at her shoulder, she found it left with a lingering warmth, extremely scorching.

The warmth of a man’s palm.

He had just said, he trusts her.

In Mu Qianya’s heart, a warm current surged forth.

She tugged at her lips, who says assassins have no emotions?

Xiao Yu arrived at the scene of the incident when the night was at its darkest, the daylight was hidden without a trace, the sky void of even a sliver of starlight, gray and despair-inducing.

Sitting in his wheelchair, seeing the ash and ruin, the servants of the Marquis’s Manor were shivering and crying on the side, his heart felt as if it was split by a furious lightning strike, being crushed and spread piece by piece.

He forcefully stood up and stumbled towards the ruins, unable to walk steadily without having taken his medicine.

Chui Ying, following behind him, supported him twice, reminding, “Master, you cannot walk.”

“Get lost!”

Xiao Yu violently shook him off, and in his eyes, tears suddenly spilled out like bursting springs, “Yan’er!”

He crashed heavily to the ground, the young master in white now covered in dust, kept dragging himself towards the pile of ruins, clutching the charred earth, his eyes full of disbelief, “No… Yan’er won’t die! She has already left me, left the Xiao family!”

His Yan’er was supposed to live a good life, carefree and without worries!

“Why… even after leaving me, did you still suffer this disaster?” Xiao Yu crumbled and let out an agonized roar, his hoarse voice filled with resentment and hatred toward the heavens!

Why wasn’t it enough just to torment him? Why did they have to take Yan’er’s life as well?

“You’ve already taken my son, isn’t that enough? Isn’t it?!” Xiao Yu roared furiously at the sky, and as if in response, the already dark night sky thundered ominously!

“Ah! Heavens!”

“There’s thunder!”

The nearby servants, already frightened and trembling, cried out even louder.

But Xiao Yu was not afraid at all, like a demon bent on destroying the heavens, ready to fight against the unjust heavens with his flesh and blood!

“Lord in Heaven, give me back Yan’er! Give me back my son!”

What use is leaving me alive?!

Xiao Yu violently coughed up a mouthful of blood, overtaken by rage and panic, shaking uncontrollably, everything before him a swirl of red. He wished he could destroy the world, take it all as a burial for his Ningning and Yan’er!

Everyone can go to hell!

“What’s the point of this suffering?” A sigh of an elder followed, and with it came the soft crying of a woman, “Yu brother, Yan’er is here, Yan’er is always here.”

“Yan’er!”

Xiao Yu abruptly came back to his senses, propping himself up, in front of a pile of charred earth, there stood a girl in light pink attire, delicate and pretty, with a glint in her eyes and tender cherry lips gleaming like dew.

Xiao Yu forcefully pulled her into his arms, not caring they were outside, he held onto her tightly, as if to fill the terror and fear within his heart, “Yan’er, don’t go…”

“Yu brother will never abandon me, right?” Su Miaoyan leaned into his embrace, panting softly.

Even though she was somewhat out of breath, Su Miaoyan couldn’t bear to ask him to let her go, even if it meant death, she would willingly die in Xiao Yu’s arms.

She never believed that Yu brother could fall in love with someone else. He might take a concubine to assist him for the sake of the family, for the business of the Xiao family, and he might even ignore her to protect her, but she absolutely did not believe that Yu brother didn’t love her anymore!

That’s why she set up a trap for her mother and Yu brother; she wanted her mother to see how much Yu brother loved her.

Madam Yin stood aside, her gaze complicated, her heart filled with an indescribable bitterness, “You two… what a tragic entanglement!”

She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, knowing that no matter how much she worried, she couldn’t take Su Miaoyan away.

She had thought about having the palace guards brought from the Marquis’s Manor forcibly separate Su Miaoyan and Xiao Yu, and to forcefully take Su Miaoyan away, but Su Miaoyan pulled the golden hairpin from her hair and pressed it against her fair, delicate neck, “Mother, if leaving Yu brother means living a life worse than death, I would rather repay you now for the gift of life. In this life, I am willing to die in Yu brother’s arms and never leave him.”

Madam Yin was so angry she nearly fainted; tears welled up in her eyes as she pointed at Xiao Yu, “Haven’t you suffered enough by his side? The title of madam of the Xiao family sounds glorious, but can you really endure it?”

“I have been the madam of the Xiao family for three years already!”

“But what’s the result? The Xiao family almost collapsed, you nearly lost your life! My unfortunate grandchild… we haven’t even found the bones!” Madam Yin wept as she lamented.

If only there was a trace of news about Ningning, she wouldn’t hate Xiao Yu so much!

As a man, as Su Miaoyan’s husband, he preserved his family and business, but his wife and child became sacrifices!

“Xiao Yu, ask yourself, before my Yan’er married you, did she ever suffer the slightest hardship? If she had married into the Xiao family in Jiang Du City, under the shelter of the Marquis’s Manor, would she have met with today’s disaster? Would my grandchild have died? Would my daughter need to suffer so much?” Each of Madam Yin’s questions was filled with tears; they were all out of her love for Su Miaoyan.

She might be selfish, she might lack grace, but she was just an ordinary mother!

Which mother could watch her daughter suffer and struggle, not take her back home to protect her, but instead leave her to the mercy of the stormy conditions in her husband’s family?

Madam Yin had only one daughter, Miaoyan. She couldn’t do it!

Xiao Yu held Su Miaoyan’s hand, broke the golden hairpin from her grip, and threw it aside. He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault for failing to protect her and the child, it’s all my fault, yet I…”

“Don’t say things like that! It’s all irreversible. Xiao Yu, if you have any conscience, stop entangling her!” Madam Yin couldn’t help but step forward, trying to separate him and Su Miaoyan.

Su Miaoyan, nestled in Xiao Yu’s arms, couldn’t restrain her tears and sobbed with a broken voice, “Mother, please don’t separate me from Yu brother. I… I won’t go back with you!”

Madam Yin grabbed Su Miaoyan’s hand, not caring even if it meant being accused of breaking them up, “If you won’t leave, then you will no longer have the Marquis’s Manor as your family. Mother will not come to take care of you again!”

“Then, mother… stop taking care of me!” Su Miaoyan’s lips turned white as she bit them, forcefully pushing Madam Yin away.

Madam Yin was in disbelief, her eyes wide open, “Miaoyan, what… what are you saying?”

“Please, mother, don’t interfere with me anymore.” Su Miaoyan bit her lip, looking timid and scared, but her eyes were resolute.

Madam Yin looked at her. How could she not know that her daughter, who had been tender and delicate since childhood, was now determined to drive her away?

Madam Yin covered her mouth and wept out loud, then turned and left.

Rain began to fall from the sky, and the retreating figure of Madam Yin, in the veil of rain, looked exceedingly desolate and mournful.

Su Miaoyan bit her lip, inwardly apologizing countless times to her mother.

Mother, please forgive your unfilial daughter. If I can’t have both, then I can only choose the person I deeply love and spend the rest of my life with him!
