The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 60

Meanwhile, Ning Siyao was also resting in her own carriage with her eyes shut. However, she wasn't in the mood to sleep. She wholeheartedly thought of ways on how to let that little bitch Su Qingyan die more gruesomely, to make up for all the humiliation she suffered in the last few days.

Once Wei mama left, there was no one to help her come up with ideas. So she could only rely on her own methods to deal with Su Qingyan.

Su Qingyuan looked to Ning Siyao and affectionately said, "Mother, you don't need to worry, uncle* will definitely prepare everything for you. When the time comes, she will only be able to kneel and beg for forgiveness."

(*TN: Maternal uncle; Ning Siyao's brother.)

Ning Siyao listened to her and nodded, "Yuan'er, you're right. I heard from your uncle that this time he found some really impressive masters. When the time comes, if these people can take away Su Qingyan that wench, then nicely defile her, who cares if she's some Leyi Princess. She'd be just a dirty* prostitute."

(*TN: I found the original phrasing interesting so I've included it: 'thousand people's pillow and ten thousand people's saddle')

"Mother, you're right. That's why you shouldn't worry. Dealing with that kind of woman, as long as mother acts, it definitely won't be a problem. Besides, this time isn't uncle also helping you?" As Su Qingyuan said this, she grabbed Ning Siyao's hand, "Mother, wait until I successfully marry the Second Prince. Afterwards, we will be able to enjoy an endless amount of wealth and glory, no longer having to look at anyone's faces."

"My good daughter!" Ning Siyao pulled Su Qingyuan into her arms, "Yuan'er, these things, normally you shouldn't need to worry over, yet you are willing to bear these burdens."

"Mother, you birthed me and raised me. Naturally, I will stand on mother's side. No matter what happens, I will never leave mother." Su Qingyuan looked to Ning Siyao and said in a smothered voice, "I will definitely make mother's wish come true."

That's why, Su Qingyan, you shouldn't blame us for being ruthless either. Only if you disappear, will I truly become the Su manor's one and only young miss.

At the same time, Chai Yiyun was also in her carriage, looking out the window from time to time. Su Qingwen looked to her and asked with her head tilt, "Mother, haven't we already seen the scenery many times in previous years during our trips, what's there to look at?"

Chai Yiyun let go of the curtains and looked to Su Qingwen, "Naturally there's something to see. Your second aunt is preparing to take out that fourth girl. I just want to know how she plans to deal with that fourth girl."

Su Qingwen looked to Chai Yiyun and smiled, "Are you saying second aunt is planning to take out that wench Su Qingyan? That's great, this last trip to Ganyun Temple can let her disappear from this world forever."

"Silly child, even though you have that kind of thought, you should never express it, understand?" Chai Yiyun said as she stroked Su Qingwen's head, "Mother knows it's hard for you, but this is also something that can't be helped."

"Mother, I'm only trying to stand up for you. If second aunt can help us eliminate that wench this time, our lives in the Su manor will improve a bit." Su Qingwen said as she tightly clenched her fist, "It's a shame that I don't have the power to personally kill that wench."

"Qingwen, you shouldn't think like that. You're my daughter, it's fine to just leave these kinds of things to mother." Chai Yiyun affectionately pulled Su Qingwen into her embrace, "Wenwen, you are mother's child, I can't let you get hurt."

Su Qingwen listened to Chai Yiyun's words and patted her back, "Mother, I understand. I won't have these kinds of thoughts from now on."

"That's good, that's good!" Chai Yiyun said as she patted Su Qingwen on the back.

-------------------------------

Su Qingyan sat in the carriage peacefully helping Su Qingxue with parts of the book she didn't understand. Outside, there's wasn't a single disturbance. However, she knew that on the way to Ganyun Temple there will be a patch of forest. Perhaps there will be where they plan to act.

But it doesn't matter, she trusted Fengqing's capabilities; she also trusted the silver python's abilities, that python was impervious to sword and spear. When she thought of this, she delightfully curled her lips.

Qingyan looked to Su Qingxue, poured a cup of tea, and placed it before her, "If you're thirsty, take a sip. We should arrive at Ganyun Temple in the afternoon."

Su Qingxue began to drink the tea, but soon after, she felt a heavy wave of exhaustion wash over her. Afterwards, she collapsed onto the small table, asleep.

Seeing Su Qingxue fall asleep, Deng Yan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qingyan, signaling her not to open her mouth.

She looked to Deng Yan and happily smiled. When she pulled back the curtains, she just saw a giant python in the forest, unsure what it was doing. And the voices that were heard were only the violent cries of others. The ground was littered with limbs and corpses.

Qingyan took the initiative to stop the carriage. When Ning Siyao heard the blood curdling screams, she too felt frightened. She seems to have never heard such violent screams before. Just what in the world happened for there to be screams like that.

Ning Siyao originally wanted to get off the carriage to check on Su Qingyan's situation, but when she got down, she found that Su Qingyan had already stopped ahead of her and was no longer advancing. She walked up before Su Qingyan and saw the ground before her littered with body parts. She immediately took a few steps back.

Those people died extremely gruesome deaths, some missing heads, some missing limbs. There were even some that had the intestines exposed. But there was not a single scratch on the body.

Ning Siyao, unable to hold back, vomited at once. Qingyan saw Ning Siyao's reaction and reluctantly commented, "If second aunt feels disgusted, then quickly get far away from here."

Ning Siyao knew the origins of these people, but now they'd all mysteriously died off. Plus, their deaths were so gruesome, naturally she felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Miss, these people are all dead. As for how they died, I don't know." Qingdai walked up before Qingyan and slowly explained, "But it seems before they died, they must have experienced something really shocking."

"Oh!" Qingyan nonchalantly spoke, pointing to the entrance of the forest. "I heard that this place is haunted. Perhaps they encountered something unclean, tsk tsk tsk...." She made a pitied look, "Such a shame for so many people."

When Ning Siyao heard this, she immediately returned to her carriage. Seeing Ning Siyao hurriedly running away, she happily smirked.

Ning Siyao, this is just the beginning.

"Fourth miss, how did you do it?" Deng Yan looked to Su Qingyan in surprise. At the time, they were clearly sitting in the carriage and didn't so anything. Yet, these people appeared like this before them.

"Fengqing, you've fallen behind this time. You and Yun'er sure had some fun." Qingyan dryly called out to the air.

"Master, that's a snake alright! With one long cry from that silver python, all the snakes in the entire forest came forth. How could I match against those snakes." From the air came Fengqing's prideful reply.

If the opponent was ten people, he could have managed, but the opponent was a sentient snake. Even if he was an expert in martial arts, he still wouldn't rival those snakes!
