[Ok, host. 】

[A severe crisis card has been redeemed for the host. The host currently owes the system a total of 175,010 points.]

[Hmm? Strange, I can't use the Severe Crisis Card on the target person. Host, please wait...]

Xie Yu frowned tightly, his anger still not subsided, and he felt even more irritated.

She had long suspected that her system was broken.

Now it's not really bad, is it?

About half a minute later, just as Xie Yu was about to curse, the system said, "It has been confirmed that something has happened to the target person. The Severe Crisis Card cannot be used on them. Please find someone else to use."

"Variables? Could it be the same variable as Li Shu's? Li Shu is, after all, the heroine with immense luck, while Jingzhe is merely a maid given to Li Shu by the Queen. She's not even a supporting role, just a tool. How could she be a variable?"

[I don't know. I've already reported this to the main system. I'll let the host know immediately after receiving a response. Please ask the host to use the Severe Crisis Card instead.]

"..."

Xie Yu took a deep breath, his mind full of Jingzhe's face full of provocation and disgust.

Jingzhe must be killed!

Since she couldn't kill him through the system, she would just pay a killer to do it for her!

It’s time for her to try not to rely on the system for everything!

So she said to the system, "Keep this card for now. Help me find a more reliable assassin organization in the strategy outline!"

[Okay, host, please wait. ]

[The strategy outline states that the most powerful assassin organization in the capital is called Minglou. They charge extremely high fees, but once they accept a job, they will never fail.]

"How tall is it?"

Killing one person would cost anywhere from several thousand taels of silver to tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"It's not so bad..."

As Xie Yu spoke, he looked through the bed curtain at the things Jingzhe and the others had brought him. "Liuxin, take all these things and sell them for me."

How could she want something that even Li Shu doesn’t want!

It's just right to sell it and use the money to hire a killer!

Based on her understanding of Ning Jin, Ning Jin would definitely not be stingy in order to win Li Shu back. The money she got from selling those things would definitely be enough for her to hire a killer!

I wonder if Li Shu would be so angry that she would vomit blood if she told her in the future that Jingzhe was killed by a killer hired by selling these things!

Xie Yu felt in a good mood when he thought of Li Shu's reaction at that time.

Liu Xin, who was waiting nervously by the side, immediately responded after hearing Xie Yu's words and went out to call a few maids to come in and move the things away.

In less than an hour, she returned to Xie Yu with two silver notes worth ten thousand taels each.

Xie Yu had already put on her veil and hat, ready to go out.

After taking the banknote, he casually asked, "What's the most valuable of those things?"

"A heart-shaped pendant. That pendant alone sold for eighteen thousand taels of silver. The rest, all together, only cost two thousand taels of silver."

"Tongxinpei..."

Xie Yu felt a little upset.

Because she had asked Ning Jin to buy her a heart-shaped pendant before.

But it’s only a few hundred taels of silver!

Moreover, she used the Heart-Shaping Pendant to plot against Li Shu and broke it into pieces!

Then she told Liu Xin to stay in the room and tell anyone who came that she was asleep and not to open the door.

Following the system's instructions, she avoided all the servants and guards in the general's mansion and left through a side door.

Then, following the system's instructions, he went to the place where people from the Underworld Tower appeared.

In the Peacock Terrace.

After Lin Yuan returned with the new clothes and cloak given to him by Nanny Gui, he changed into them and looked at himself in front of the largest mirror in their building for about an hour or two.

When Lin An found him, he saw that he, who never cared about his appearance or clothes, was so abnormal, so he asked without hesitation: "Boss, you finally changed your cloak today. Could this one also be given to you by the young lady?"

"Not only that, the clothes inside were also given by the young lady!"

"The young lady made it for you? I heard that after the young lady learned needlework for her brother-in-law, she only made clothes for him, her father and her brothers! How come she suddenly made it for you too? Could it be..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild! This is what the young lady asked Aunt Gui to make for me!"

Lin Yuan subconsciously raised his voice, fearing that Lin An would say something outrageous and give him more delusions.

He then added, "The young lady also specifically asked me to prepare new clothes for everyone for the New Year on behalf of Sanniang."

"Really? I thought Sanniang wasn't here this year and I wouldn't be able to wear new clothes! Miss is so kind!"

"Since Sanniang is not here, can't you buy it yourself?"

"I have no money! I gave it all to those greedy guys to buy snacks! Boss, can you please stop picking up money from people in the future? We, the Lin generation, are going to be flooded with money!"

"Just ignore them."

"I can't do it! I'm not like you, Boss, with a heart of stone! How could you bear to abandon such a cute little baby to Peacock Ridge! Even though we lived that way too..."

"Why did you come to me?"

After Lin Yuan interrupted Lin An, he finally took his eyes off the mirror.

He just discovered that he was quite good-looking.

At least he is not any worse than my brother-in-law!

Lin An was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, "Oh! I forgot about the important matter! Xie Yu contacted someone from our Ming Tower and said he wanted to spend 20,000 taels of silver to hire someone to kill Jingzhe!"

Lin Yuan's expression also changed, "Are you sure it's Xie Yu?"

"It's confirmed. Our people claimed that the people around the wife of the Duke of Dingbei were difficult to kill. Xie Yu then said that we weren't the only assassin organization in the capital, so she switched to another one. Then our people secretly followed her to meet with the people from Heguan, and then followed her to the Zhenbei General's Mansion. There's no way they could be wrong."

"Did the people from Heguan take it?"

"Well, I only received five thousand taels of silver."

"..."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "Kill that man, send his body to the head of He Pavilion, and send his head to Xie Yu."

Lin'an nodded.

Then Lin Yuan said, "Remember not to get close to Xie Yu."

"Well, don't worry, boss."

Lin'an already knew that Xie Yu was up to something evil, so recently he arranged for the people who were following Xie Yu to keep a sufficient distance from him.

He also decided to go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion in person to deliver his head.

And then the next day.

He disguised himself as a servant in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, carried the carefully wrapped head, and delivered it to the Zhenbei General's Mansion on the pretext that Princess Xuanping asked her to deliver something to Xie Yu.

Xie Yu has been waiting for Xu Daijun to come to her.

When she heard that Xu Daijun had sent someone to deliver something to her, she immediately asked Liu Xin to get it in.

Coincidentally, not long before this, she had annoyed the system to the point of shutting down the microphone.

Because she kept asking the system to send messages to the main system, saying that she wanted to see Lin Qi.

So when she watched Liu Xin unwrap the wrapping paper, open the lid, and then overturn the box with a scream, causing the bloody head with wide-open eyes in the box to appear before her eyes, she was so scared that her heart almost stopped.
