Wen Fu's terrified cry came from not far away: "Brother, don't!"

"Puff!" Following a muffled sound, Zhiqing suddenly looked down and saw that a long sword had pierced through him.

He never expected that Zhan Yan would suddenly appear and protect Lin Yiwan, and then stab the long sword in his hand into his heart.

He opened his mouth with difficulty and blood gushed out immediately.

He murmured in grief and anger: "Why is this happening? Why haven't I killed you yet?"

Zhan Yan kicked him to the ground and said sternly, "Because you are stupid, what qualifications do you have to avenge others? Those people's deaths were all their own fault. It has nothing to do with Wanwan. You are no different from them!"

Zhiqing grabbed Zhan Yan's brocade robe with his bloody fingers and begged, "Let my sister go. She is innocent and pitiful. Please have mercy on her!"

Wen Fu screamed hoarsely: "Brother, if you die, how can I live alone? My legs are broken, and I don't want to linger on in this world!"

Zhiqing raised his head with difficulty and looked at her: "Fuer, don't be stubborn!"

Wen Fu said to Lin Yiwan, "If you kill me, you're a murderer. You don't mind taking another life, do you?"

Zhan Yan's pupils contracted violently. He suddenly pulled out the long sword that was stabbed in Zhiqing's abdomen and threw it directly towards Wen Fu.

"Puff!" The sharp sword pierced her throat, freezing the provocative expression on her face.

Zhan Yan said coldly, "You brothers and sisters turned into evil spirits and came looking for me. I have fought my way out of the battlefield, how could I be afraid of you evil spirits?"

Zhiqing's teeth were grinding, he suddenly raised his head and crawled towards Wen Fu with difficulty.

Zhan Yan did not stop him and let him leave a long trail of blood on the ground.

Zhiqing was breathing weakly, but he relied on his willpower to crawl to Wen Fu. He forced himself to stand up and suddenly hugged Wen Fu tightly with both hands.

His eyes gradually became gentle, and he whispered, "Don't be afraid, sister. I will always be by your side. I will accompany you on the road to the underworld and will never let you feel lonely!"

His head tilted and he was completely dead.

Zhan Yan watched coldly. He turned around and ordered Yinghun: "Bury these brothers and sisters together!"

They are indeed hateful, but the hatred will disappear when they die.

He couldn't embarrass them after his death!

It was already late at night when the couple returned to Zhan Yihou's mansion.

Ye Li was supported by Zhan Xuan and came to inquire about Wen Fu's situation. He said guiltily: "It's all my fault. I brought the disaster into the Marquis' Mansion. Wen Fu should have hated me!"

Lin Yiwan counseled him, "Don't blame yourself. They want to avenge Xiao Yu, and getting engaged to you and entering the Duke's Mansion is just a step in their plan!"

Zhan Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that Xiao Yu's ghost would still linger after being dead for so long. If he hadn't asked for it, how could he have ended up like that?"

Lin Yiwan reminded him, "Xuan'er, don't say that. Xiao Yu is dead. Stop discussing his right and wrong. After all, Zhiqing and Wen Fu both paid a huge price!"

Zhan Xuan glanced at Ye Li with a complicated expression. He muttered softly, "I'm afraid someone won't let this go!"

Ye Li trembled all over, and after a long time he murmured: "Boss Xuan, it's late at night, let's not disturb you here!"

Zhan Xuan reached out to support him, and the two of them took their leave.

Ye Li lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

He thought Zhan Xuan was right, his mother would definitely not be quiet.

What will she do?

At this time, in Duke Ye's Mansion, Madam Ye pushed all the teacups on the table to the ground.

She looks crazy!

The maid came in from outside and advised: "Madam, no matter what, it's a blessing that you are not involved in this matter!"

Madam Ye gritted her teeth and retorted, "How can I accept this? She sacrificed Wen Fu and Zhi Qing's lives, but didn't let Lin Yiwan suffer even a single injury. What right does she have?"

The maid hurriedly reminded: "Madam, please keep your voice down. Don't let the eldest master hear you, or he will be angry!"

When she mentioned Ye Qian, the anger on Madam Ye's face dissipated a lot.

After a moment's silence, she slowly spoke, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. In order to lure Lin Yiwan and her son into the trap, I have no choice but to attack him!"

The maid looked at her in disbelief: "Madam, the eldest son is your support, how can you use him as a raft?"

Madam Ye interrupted without hesitation: "Shut up, he is my son. He has to do whatever I tell him to do. Besides, I won't really harm him. I'm just using him to bring Lin Yiwan into the Duke's Mansion!"

The maid felt a chill on the back of her neck from the murderous intent in her eyes. She bit her lip hard, but ultimately didn't dare to say a word.

Madam Ye did what she thought. She immediately sneaked out of the house and went to a pharmacy.

She found a doctor and bought from him at a high price a poison that could gradually make people weak and powerless.

Because she was wearing a mask, the doctor had no idea who she was.

She hurried back to the Duke's Mansion and rushed to the small kitchen to personally make a pot of fragrant chicken soup for Ye Qian.

Ye Qian was a little surprised when he saw her bring it to him personally.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you delivering chicken soup so late?"

Madam Ye said with a look of resentment, "Isn't it enough for Mother to be good to you? You are the only one Mother can rely on now. Mother feels sorry for you staying up late to study!"

No one knows her son better than her. He is the most soft-hearted and obedient person.

As long as she cried and said some flattering words, he would relent and forgive her.

Sure enough, Ye Qian's expression eased a lot.

He reached out to take the chicken soup and said, "Mother, you have worked hard. But from now on, you don't have to do these things yourself. There are servants and nannies in the mansion. They can share your worries!"

Madam Ye's tears fell at the right moment, and she sobbed sadly: "Ah Qian, mother can't lose you again!"

Ye Qian's eyes flashed with intense struggle. After a moment, he placed the bowl of soup on the table and said, "Isn't the son standing in front of his mother in good health? Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Madam Ye frowned subconsciously and asked in surprise, "Ah Qian, why don't you drink?"

Ye Qian explained: "I ate a bit too much at dinner, and now my appetite is still full. It will be the same if I wait a while before drinking!"

Madam Ye immediately shook her head: "No, chicken soup must be drunk while it's hot. If it gets cold, the taste will be much worse and it will affect your taste!"

When she said this, the urgency on her face flashed away.

If it were in the past, Ye Qian would definitely obey her orders.

But now, doubts have begun to arise in his mind.

He couldn't understand why his mother suddenly brought him a bowl of chicken soup personally. Was she really doing it for his health, or did she have other motives?
