By reading my mind, I defeated the crazy regent

"Then why don't you let your son kill someone for me? It's just killing a woman. Is it difficult for your son?"

"He's so strong, killing a woman shouldn't be a piece of cake for him?"

"I will arrange everything. He doesn't need to worry about anything. He just needs to do what I say."

"Once he kills the person, I can arrange for him to leave the capital and hide out. He can come back after the storm has passed. Nothing will be delayed."

"I can also give him a large sum of money, which is enough for your family to live comfortably for several generations."

"Nanny, if you still regard me as your master, if you still have a place for me in your heart, then please help me because I am in so much pain. Just agree to it."

Liu Pianpian grabbed the wet nurse's hand again and forced her forcefully.

The wet nurse stepped back repeatedly, thinking that such a young lady was too scary.

"No, no, you can't do that."

"Miss, don't you have people you can use? They are professionals. Can't you just let them help you kill people? Why do you have to let my son go?"

Liu Pianpian suddenly turned hostile again.

"You old man, you're shameless, aren't you? If I could get someone to go, would I still tell you this?"

"I've already begged you humbly, what else do you want?"

"You didn't agree, but you already knew my plan. Do you think I can still keep you?"

The nurse was extremely shocked: "What do you mean, Miss?"

Although Liu Pianpian looked sick, her expression was strange and sharp.

"Either you promise me that we can still be friends. Or you have to keep my secret forever."

Upon hearing this, the nurse hurriedly said, "I will keep this secret for you forever. I will never tell anyone about this. Please trust me."

Liu Pianpian was very unhappy.

"It seems you chose the latter."

"Then you go die."

The nurse screamed, "What are you doing, Miss?"

Liu Pianpian looked at the wet nurse coldly, without any emotion in her eyes for the person who had grown up with her.

"Aren't you going to keep my secret forever? Only the dead can keep secrets forever."

"Nanny, don't blame me. I didn't let you die. You chose to die."

"no no……"

The nanny sensed something was wrong and turned around to run out.

But it was too late.

A shadow suddenly appeared in Liu Pianpian's room. As it flashed by, the wet nurse was immediately strangled by the neck and couldn't break free no matter how hard she struggled.

"Kill?"

The dark shadow asked coldly.

Liu Pianpian said without hesitation: "Kill."

The wet nurse's pupils constricted in despair. She felt her neck was being strangled. She gradually became unable to breathe and eventually died.

The black shadow threw her body on the ground and turned to Liu Pianpian.

"You want to kill Tang Qiansui? I'll kill her for you."

Liu Pianpian lay on the bed and started to get angry again: "No, your people are too stupid. They were so confident last time, but didn't they still fail?"

"Not only did the assassination fail, but he's also nowhere to be found, alive or dead. Who knows if he failed in his mission and fled because he didn't dare to return?"

"And it also caused me to be punished."

The shadow was silent for a moment, then said, "My people aren't that bad. He didn't come back, so he must have been killed."

Liu Pianpian sneered: "Of course you have to speak for your people, so that you won't seem so ridiculous."

"You've got so many assassins, and you keep saying how powerful the people you've trained are, but what's the result? How many of them can you actually mobilize? Isn't it all up to my father?"

"You said you were willing to help me, but if you sent out a few more assassins for me at once, would Tang Qiansui still be able to survive?"

"I just can't understand how Tang Qiansui, a powerless woman, could escape from your hands in the middle of the night."

"Is her life really that good? She met someone who happened to save her in that situation?"

The shadow didn't speak.

He is also investigating what is going on, but has not yet come to a conclusion.

"I have two things to tell you. First, I cannot continue investigating the failed assassination attempt because it is very dangerous."

Liu Pianpian immediately scoffed: "Is it dangerous to investigate? Then you are really incompetent. I really can't understand what is so dangerous about this?"

The black shadow also became angry and his tone became heavier.

"We've investigated so thoroughly and carefully, yet we can't find anything. Do you think this is difficult?"

"There's a more powerful force hiding the truth. Someone is interfering between me and Yin Tingyan."

"I can't find out what Yin Tingyan can't find out, but the person we don't know may have already known about the forces of Yin Tingyan and me."

"Don't you think this is dangerous enough, Miss?"

"Let me be frank. Right now, I'm just worried and suspecting we might have been discovered. But if I continue investigating, we'll definitely be discovered by that person."

"By then, do you think someone with this ability who saved Tang Qiansui will let you, a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, go?"

Liu Pianpian sat up in shock: "You mean, there is a mysterious force behind Tang Qiansui protecting her?"

The shadow said, "I didn't say that. I can't be sure of anything. I just know that if we want to save the Duke's Mansion and you, we can't continue."

Liu Pianpian's expression was unpredictable and she remained silent.

The shadow's aura was also very low: "The second thing is, the Duke didn't ignore you, he took action."

Liu Pianpian was stunned and looked up in surprise: "Are you serious? What did my father do?"

The shadow hesitated for a moment. "The Duke and the Emperor have mentioned something that might sow discord between the Emperor and the Regent."

"Once successful, when the Emperor grows up and takes power, the Regent will undoubtedly be dealt with severely. By then, his power will be gone, and the Regent will fall from grace. That will be the time for the Duke to take action against the Regent."

Liu Pianpian sneered when she heard this: "What's that? If that day really comes, who knows how many years it will take."

"Besides, with the Regent's abilities and methods, my father wouldn't be able to defeat him even if he spent several lifetimes combined. How could he still want to deal with the Regent?"

Liu Pianpian also sneered at the Duke's arrogance.

But what the black shadow was thinking was similar to what Liu Pianpian was thinking.

The Duke is also out of control, but isn't Liu Pianpian also overestimating her own abilities?

Both the father and daughter were aware of the Regent's abilities and knew they could not deal with him, yet they both had a high opinion of themselves.

"The Duke did another thing. He asked me for a few assassins yesterday, and Tang Qiansui was assassinated today."

Liu Pianpian was now in high spirits, laughing wildly, "Did my father send someone to assassinate Tang Qiansui?!"
