"We are the only ones left in the mansion today. The master, the mistress, and the other young masters and young ladies are all out. We should relax a little."

"Yes, it's a rare day like this."

He Congshuang heard every word of the conversation outside the house.

Although He Congshuang was locked up tightly, fortunately she still had some kung fu skills. The reason she didn't leave the house before was because there were other people at home. Even if she escaped from the house, she couldn't escape from the yard.

Rather than running away and letting these talkative servants see her half-human appearance and take the opportunity to laugh at her, it would be better for her to stay in the room and find a chance to escape.

Now is a good opportunity. There is no one at home, so it will be much more convenient for her to go out.

The first thing she did after getting out was to pull out the tongues of these talkative gossips. They kept talking in her ears every day and she was tired of it.

He Congshuang had a sinister smile on her face, her hair scattered on her body, and she stood by the door in dark blue clothes. When they all relaxed and rested, she walked into the room, picked up a sword, and slashed at the blocked window.

She didn't use any other tricks. She just swung her sword at it with all her strength, as if the window was her mortal enemy.

But the sword was not as good as the knife. She chopped several times but failed to break the window. Instead, she alarmed the servants who were resting outside.

"What's wrong? Where did that sound come from? It scared me!"

"I'm so scared, is that noise coming from inside the room? It seems to be coming from the window. I'll go check it out."

"Hey, don't go over there!"

"Don't go. Did the young lady wake up and get angry after hearing what we said, and is she smashing the window?"

"What if it wasn't the young lady who broke the window, but the young lady is in danger? What should we do when the master comes back? No, I'd better go and ask."

The timid servants gathered together and dared not step forward. Only those who were a little brave stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay? Fortunately... um..."

Before she could even utter the word "me", she suddenly fell to the ground in pain.

I saw a sword coming out from the window, and it pierced the throat of Wang Ma, the servant who went to inquire about the matter. Blood came out of the sword and Wang Ma died.

"I'm fine. I'm fine. Is anyone else there? Quickly open the door for me and let me out. Tell my father that I know I was wrong. Hehehe..."

He Congshuang spoke in a sarcastic tone in the house, and finally laughed sinisterly.

It was a sunny day, but the servants in the distance felt that the air around them suddenly became like winter, freezing cold, so cold that their legs were shaking.

"Mad! The lady is crazy!"

I don't know who shouted first, but they finally recovered from their shock and immediately stood up and ran towards the gate of the yard.

They were terrified as if there was a fierce ghost chasing them. Some of them accidentally fell, but they didn't care about anything else and climbed out using their hands and feet.

As long as they could escape from this yard, they could breathe a sigh of relief.

He Congshuang inside the room laughed eerily and said softly, "How boring! You died so soon. I'll be out soon. Song Qinghong, wait for me. The color of this sword is not bright enough. I want your blood to dye this sword red."

The window in front of her had been almost destroyed by her. He Congshuang picked up a jewelry box, which was made of top-quality golden nanmu wood and had exquisite workmanship. It was also a good thing to use to smash the window.

She gathered all her strength and smashed it at the broken window, and soon a hole was made in it.

He Congshuang crawled out of the hole, picked up the blood-stained sword, put it into the scabbard, then took out the sword tassel from his body and put it on the hilt, then shook it gently in the sunlight.

"You haven't changed, but you have. I'm no longer the one standing next to him. Let's take back our place together, okay?"

He Congshuang muttered to himself.

"Oh? You agreed. That's great."

He Congshuang touched the bright red sword tassel with satisfaction, walked towards the backyard with the sword, and went out through the dog hole.

By the time the frightened servants came to find guards, He Congshuang had already walked a long way away.

They were panicked. The butler's mind was in a mess, but he remained calm. He immediately sent one or two people to the Third Prince's Mansion to inform Duke Dingguo.

Then he asked the servants if there had been any abnormalities before.

They didn't dare to say anything that would irritate He Congshuang. They all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

The housekeeper didn't know where to start the investigation, so he had to take them all away and lock them up. He also had someone keep Wang Ma's body and wait until the master and mistress came back to make the final decision.

He Congshuang ran very fast although she was madly running, but her mind was not so crazy that she could not remember anything. She still remembered to bring some money and her ID card.

He bought a good horse at the post station, sat on it, and drove out to the canal.

In just half an hour, she arrived at the canal and saw Song Qinghong and the man standing beside him from afar.

Her eyes were blinded by jealousy and resentment, and all she could think about was what the servants said. She subconsciously thought that the people standing over there were Song Qinghong and Qi Rui.

It just so happened that most of the guards brought by Qi Binwei were sent to protect Chao Yan, so only two guards were left by his side. Together with Song Qinghong's guards, there were only four guards in total.

He Congshuang gritted her teeth and was furious. She drew her sword and rode her horse towards them.

"Deng deng deng-"

She rode the horse very fast, like a flash of lightning, without caring about her own life or death. She just wanted to kill Song Qinghong who was standing over there.

"Song Qinghong, die!"

Before the person got close, He Congshuang's voice had already arrived.

Qi Binwei heard the sound of horse hooves. There were people riding horses passing by here before and there was nothing unusual. He didn't expect that this time they were coming for them.

The moment she heard He Congshuang's voice, Shen Jiayu immediately stopped what she was doing, pulled Chao Yan tightly, and asked her to hide behind her. She looked in the direction of Song Qinghong, and her feet moved towards Song Qinghong as soon as possible.

After seeing who was coming, Shen Jiayu cursed in a low voice.

"Protect the imperial concubine!" Shen Jiayu shouted, in order to call the guards who were protecting Chao Yan over.

And she had already started running towards Song Qinghong.

Damn it, nothing can happen!

What's wrong with He Congshuang!

Qi Binwei was also running very fast, but ultimately not as fast as the horse. He only had time to push Song Qinghong, who was standing next to him, away to avoid being injured by the horse's hooves.

If this happened, without a panacea, Song Qinghong would surely die.

Song Qinghong was pushed hard by him and avoided the fatal blow, but He Congshuang would not let her go.

She immediately reined in her horse and turned around to gallop towards Song Qinghong again. This time she was determined to win!
