Chapter 121 – The Ancient Yandere’s Doll

The Ancient Yandere’s Doll (21)

The two guards knew they had gotten themselves into serious trouble and were now hiding in a corner, too afraid to come out.

It wasn’t until they met their young master’s cold eyes from across the courtyard that the two of them finally came out while trembling.

As soon as they came out, they dropped to their knees and stammered out their apologies, “Young master, we were wrong. It was that woman. She deceived us, saying you were infatuated with her, so we didn’t dare stop her…”

Murong Jin gave them a cold glance. They were nothing but useless people. He never needed useless people by his side.

“Go down and collect your monthly pay and leave.” After saying that, Murong Jin paid no further attention to the two guards who were crying bitterly.

His heart had never been soft for anyone other than Xu Xinghe.

He then turned his eyes to the woman sprawled on the ground, looking at her no differently than he would look at a corpse.

A chill ran down Zhou Yuran’s spine. She forced herself to stand despite the pain in her stomach. She refused to believe Murong Jin would really ignore her.

In her previous life, he clearly loved her too much. Otherwise, why would he have imprisoned her?

With that thought, Zhou Yuran put on a heartbroken expression, letting a single tear roll from the corner of her eye. “So you really don’t love me anymore. If that’s the case… then I’ll leave.”

She turned around as she spoke, but her peripheral vision never left Murong Jin. She didn’t believe that he could watch her walk away and do nothing!

Zhou Yuran moved slower than an eighty-year-old grandmother. She was still giving Murong Jin a chance to stop her.

“Wait.”

Zhou Yuran wore an expression that said ‘I knew it,’ and the corners of her mouth curled up smugly.

But the next second, she seemed to hear something incredible and suddenly looked back at Murong Jin.

“Someone—beat her out of here.” Murong Jin looked at the woman moving as slowly as an eighty-year-old lady, and the coldness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

If not for the fact that Xing Xing was waiting for him, and he didn’t want to stir up trouble lately…

Because if he did, Xing Xing would miss him.

Just thinking about that brought a happy smile to Murong Jin’s face. He was someone with a family now, so naturally he couldn’t act the same as before.

“Yes!” The guards around immediately swarmed forward, afraid that they would lose their job like the two gate guards if they were even a second late.

Zhou Yuran was still screaming at the top of her lungs. She refused to believe Murong Jin would treat her this way, until the coarse wooden stick came down on her back.

Only then did Zhou Yuran believe that Murong Jin meant every word he said. The pain made her scramble to dodge the blows.

“Ah— Get away from me, stop hitting me!” Zhou Yuran was chased and beaten by several guards all the way to the front gate of the Murong Residence. Only then did they stop and block the entrance.

Zhou Yuran was bruised all over. There wasn’t a single spot on her body that wasn’t throbbing with pain.

“That’s her!” A sharp male voice rang out from behind her.

Zhou Yuran then looked back to see a group of officers armed with large broadswords surrounding her. Her face changed, and she began to panic.

The one leading the officers was a servant from the brothel today. He had seen everything, including Zhou Yuran fleeing the scene of the crime.

“Sir! This is the woman who killed Master Wang,” the servant reported, bowing to the officer in charge.

Zhou Yuran’s heart was racing with panic. What should she do? She didn’t want to go to prison!

Murong Jin, he would save her, right? If he agreed to save her, she would be with him!

Zhou Yuran’s face darkened as she shouted at the guards at the entrance of Murong Residence, “Tell Murong Jin that if he saves me, I’ll never run away again!”

The guards exchanged glances with each other and completely ignored Zhou Yuran. They weren’t stupid. They just treated her like thin air.

“Take her away—” At the lead officer’s command, the surrounding men instantly seized Zhou Yuran.

“Let me go! Murong Jin will have all of you killed!” Zhou Yuran kicked and thrashed wildly, still clinging to the belief that Murong Jin would come to her rescue.
