The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag&#

"My little beauty, there is a cliff ahead. If you run any further you will die."

When the man holding the torch saw that the other person was a woman, the smile on his face never stopped. He handed the torch in his hand to the people around him and walked towards Ye Qingluo who was at the edge of the cliff.

"My little beauty, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of that old woman, I promise to forgive you for what happened."

"Let bygones be bygones?" Ye Qingluo sneered. She glanced at the bottomless cliff with a cold light in her eyes. "Then let's see if you can pursue the case."

"A bunch of scum, they also want to have evil thoughts, huh..."

If he wasn't worried about something happening to Madam Chu, why would he have gone to such a long way to lead people to another road? However, he didn't expect that there was a cliff at the end of this road.

Since there is no way out, it is better to just solve the problem directly.

"Sharp-tongued!"

The man strode towards Ye Qingluo. He was surrounded by his men. Unless he jumped off the cliff, he would have no choice but to surrender.

He didn't know if his words had worked, but the woman really stood there motionless, as if she had completely given up struggling, which made the man even more proud.

"My little beauty, it would have been better if you had done this earlier. I will definitely take care of it..."

Click...

Just as the man was about to touch Ye Qingluo, she flipped him to the ground with a backhand. As a doctor, she knew best how to defeat the enemy with one move.

The sound of broken bones was heard in the silent night, making everyone present shudder involuntarily. The man fell to the ground and let out a sharp scream.

"You...you are so brave!"

Seeing that the person on the ground was still shouting, Ye Qingluo raised his foot and the person fainted completely.

Seeing this, the men behind him rushed forward and went straight towards Ye Qingluo.

Ye Qingluo took out a bottle directly from the space and smashed it to the ground. A strong fragrance filled the air.

By the time they reacted, everyone present had fallen to the ground unconscious. Judging from their clothes, they should be the robbers' men. To prevent any accidents, Ye Qingluo pretended that someone jumped off a cliff.

After doing all this, she was ready to go back to pick up Old Madam Chu, but when she returned to the bamboo forest, she found that the person had disappeared.

Could it be that Madam Chu left on her own? No, Ye Qingluo quickly denied this possibility. With her strength at that time, it was impossible for Madam Chu to wake up so quickly.

What's more, her leg was injured, so even if she woke up, she couldn't walk far, and there was no trace nearby.

The only explanation is that he took the person away after she left?

Ye Qingluo felt uneasy. She had finally rescued the person. If he fell into the enemy's hands again, it was hard to imagine what would happen. But the most urgent thing was that she had to turn back.

But when she returned to the cabin, she found that all the robbers had fallen to the ground, dead, and there was no sign of Old Madam Chu around.

Before she arrived, someone had already taken care of the robbers.

Could it be Chu Beiyu’s man?

If so...

On the edge of the cliff.

"Master, these people seem to have fainted as if they were poisoned by some kind of incense."

Yun Zhou said to Ye Beimo after the inspection. At this time, a man opened his eyes, and when he saw the guards around him, he trembled with fear.

"Don't...don't kill me..."

Ye Beimo came to the edge of the cliff, his heart sank when he saw the traces on the ground. It involved Old Madam Chu, and she was the only one who knew how to burn incense.

Can……

"Ask clearly what happened." Ye Beimo's tone was icy cold.

The man was lifted up, and Yun Zhou strode forward, "Who is the one fighting with you?"

"It's a girl..." the man said tremblingly.

Ye Beimo looked back, his heart suddenly tensed, "Where is the person?"

"She..." The man pointed in the direction of the cliff and stammered.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Yun Zhou shouted.

"She was... at the edge of the cliff at the time. As for what happened afterwards, I don't know."

The man fainted again after he finished speaking. Yun Zhou looked at his master and said, "Your Highness, could it be that the person who left that mark was Ye…"

"shut up!"

Before Yun Zhou could finish his words, Ye Beimo interrupted him with a sharp voice and walked towards the edge of the cliff. His deep eyes were dark and his hands were clenched into fists.

"She's not the type to commit suicide."

"Your Highness!" Seeing that his master was about to reach the edge by one more step, Yun Zhou cried out in shock and quickly ran forward, fearing that his master would do something unknown.

Ye Beimo ignored him and stopped when he was only one step away from the edge.

Yun Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but found a shiny object on the edge. He picked it up and looked at it. "Your Highness, this is a pearl hairpin. I have seen Madam Ye wearing this thing. Could it be..."

A chill came over him, and Yun Zhou didn't dare to continue speaking.

"Your Highness, Madam Ye is very capable. Besides, all these people are unconscious here, so I think they will be fine."

Ye Beimo took the pearl hairpin from Yun Zhou's hand, and his heart sank suddenly. Just looking at it, it felt like something heavy was hitting his heart hard.

“Ye Qingluo…!”
