Villain Lady Chapter 123

Prang!
The sound of porcelain shattered also filled Feng Chun's quarter. Naturally, she had learnt that her daughter had escaped when no one knew about it. She had been trying so hard to tie Wei Liuying to Wei Family Residence, but what happened was the opposite.
Wei Liuying had gone.
"How can she disappear just like that?" Feng Chun was angry. However, she knew that Wei Hong asked them to not spread the matter. She couldn't just send people to search for her at this rate because it would affect Wei Family Household's reputation.
She was vexed.
"Madam, please calm down. It's not good for your health if you keep being angry."
"How can I be calm when I know that… agh!"
Feng Chun threw another fit and shattered another porcelain. She felt thoroughly annoyed. If only she knew that this would happen, she would not ask Wei Liuying to study martial arts. But if that was what she did, Wei Hong Zheng would never improve as fast as he was.
It was so annoying.
She couldn't settle her mind no matter which side she tried to look at it.
At this time, a servant came in. "Madam Feng, Master asked us to relay a message that Madam Feng should stay inside to recuperate from the long journey and not go anywhere for the next few days."
With that, another fit of broken porcelain sounded from the quarter.
…
The situation on the other residence was as bad as that one. Wei Hong Zheng could already move around as long as he didn't strain his legs. Even though he still couldn't run fast, he could use his hand to make his move.
Slash!
At this time, another servant had died. Blood splattered on the ground and reached the hem of Wei Hong Zheng's clothes. Dead bodies covered the courtyard as their blood was enough to create a pool.
"Who else?" Wei Hong Zheng asked in a cold tone.
The only servant left, Huo was standing still by the side. "Replying to Young Master, this is the last servant who knew."
"Where's Wei Liuying's servant?"
"They're all locked in the storage room."
"Bring me there."
"Yes, Young Master."
Huo didn't even spare a glance to the dead servants behind them. He knew that Wei Hong Zheng wanted to keep the matter of him practicing sword and switching with Wei Liuying a secret no matter what. Since Wei Liuying had escaped, the only way to make sure that no words came out was to erase all eyewitness.

The only person that Wei Hong Zheng couldn't kill would be Huo because he still needed this servant.
Wei Hong Zheng's steps were slow yet firm as he entered Wei Liuying's residence through the back door. There were no one around. In the first place, Wei Liuying didn't have many servants in her residence, so there wouldn't be many people who knew about this place.
"How many servants know?"
"There's only Xiao Yu and Xiao Qing who knows, but Xiao Qing is sold to Merchant Shi Yan not long ago."
"Any way to retrieve her back?"
"Merchant Shi Yan is known to love playing with women. I believe that it's not possible to get her back."
Wei Hong Zheng frowned. "It doesn't matter then. Just one person can't possibly hinder my path."
It didn't take long for him to arrive by the storage room there. There were several servants who were tied and gagged there, including Xiao Yu. Looking at the servants there, Wei Hong Zheng could only feel his heart turned even colder. Many of them didn't know the real deal, but they were aware of the secret door.
He couldn't let them alive.
"Mmgh!"
Tears rolled down on Xiao Yu's face. She knew that when Wei Liuying made her move to get out of the residence, everyone here would die. Since Wei Liuying never cared for the servants around her, who were only sent by Feng Chun to monitor her, it never mattered too much for her.
And from the moment Xiao Yu chose to betray Wei Liuying, there was no longer any place for her in Wei Liuying's mind.
The escape attempts didn't even alert them.
Filled with regret, Xiao Yu felt her world descended into darkness. If only she had another chance, she would not be tempted to follow what Feng Chun said. What kind of good ending she got from betraying her miss?
There was no good ending.
It was all for naught.
In just a short period of time, Wei Hong Zheng killed all the servants there. He turned to look at Huo. "If Mother asks why I killed her people, tell her that I need to erase eyewitnesses."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Clean up the rest."
Still drenched in blood, Wei Hong Zheng made his way back to his own residence. This was not his first time killing people. Ever since he and Wei Yijun were young, Wei Hong had already taught them how to kill and ordered them to do it to a servant that he wanted to dispose.

He felt that it was necessary to teach to his sons in case they faced enemies. They should never have any hesitation to kill or it might cost them their lives.
"Is there any search for her?"
"There are some people sent in secret to find them. However, there's no trace found so far, Young Master."
Wei Hong Zheng frowned. His sister has always been watched by their people. It was impossible for her to escape so far because the number of places that Wei Liuying knew were limited.
"The bookstore?"
"There's only the servants and manager there. No one match the profile that you sent," Huo replied while following after Wei Hong Zheng. He had already ordered some other servants to clean up the mess that Wei Hong Zheng created.
"No one?"
"Yes."
"Height?"
"Everyone there is much taller than you. There's no one who wear suspicious shoes."
Wei Hong Zheng frowned. His sister shouldn't have escaped for that far. Thinking about the prison incident, he became even more certain that Wei Liuying escaped to safe Wei Lu. He scoffed in his heart.
Caring about other people will only bring weakness to them.
He had learned it from young and now, he believed it even more. Feelings were unnecessary. He could only become stronger by abandoning all sort of feelings.
"I'm going to wash and go to watch the execution."
"Yes, Young Master."
Because of the execution, the class was canceled today. Many people would go to the hall to watch it because it was rare for the Emperor to suddenly announced something like this. It seemed that the officials had crossed the line this time.
…
In the darkness, a servant was watching what had happened. He slowly disappeared from his place and appeared again in the palace.
"Master, Wei Hong Zheng moved to eliminate all servants."
Prince Ji Shu had just returned from meeting his imperial father and imperial mother. They were not bothered with the execution that was ordered to be done today. On the contrary, his father was only annoyed at the officials for not doing what they were supposed to do before he returned back to dote on his woman.
It seemed that the Emperor was no longer that interested in the officials' matter.
He preferred to have fun with his women in his harem and let his officials to be the one to handle most matters. However, he still didn't show any sign of relaxing his grip on his throne.
"All of them?"
"Yes."
Prince Ji Shu's lips curled up to form a smile. "I never know Second Young Master from Wei Family Residence is actually so fierce too."
The servant kneeled in front of Prince Ji Shu. "Master, should I stop him?"
"No need. Just keep on watching there."
"Yes, Master."
Towards eliminating eyewitnesses, Prince Ji Shu didn't care. It was even doing him a favor from being the one to kill them. After all, he didn't want Wei Hong to have more bad records because of his family member's action.
Wei Liuying's incident alone was already more than enough to make them troubled. He wondered how they would cover up the incident. There was no way they would try to find a fake person to impersonate Wei Liuying, right?
Wait, it was actually a great idea.
Prince Ji Shu rubbed his chin and thought of proposing this idea to Wei Xiao Hua later. If he could plant his people to act as Wei Liuying and help Wei Xiao Hua, it would be for the best.
Unfortunately, he only got this idea now, so he couldn't hide the matter from Wei Hong and the others. The only way to actualize this idea would be through Wei Xiao Hua by having her the one to suggest to Wei Hong. If the new Wei Liuying could help Wei Xiao Hua to obtain the full control of Wei Family Household, it will be pretty good.
He needed to find a way to convince Wei Xiao Hua of this idea.
With that in thought, Ji Shu leisurely strolled on his residence. The air felt so good lately.
