Chapter 2038: Chapter 2038: Wanting to Poison the Sect Master
She gritted her teeth, muttering under her breath.
“What? Madam, what did you just say?”
The nanny didn’t hear clearly, but she seed to have caught so of the lady’s words. Surprised and alard, she still wanted to ask for clarity.
Could the lady be so furious that she’s lost her mind? Is she planning to make a move against the Sect Master?
That’s the Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect, soone whom even other sects within the Eternal Night Plane dare not oppose. If sothing were to happen to Sect Master Leng, the people of Wulong Mountain wouldn’t let the perpetrator off.
“Madam, please don’t frighten this old servant. You mustn’t act against the Sect Master.”
“Get out!”
At this mont, Lady Leng couldn’t bear to listen to any persuasion and glared fiercely at the nanny.
Now that she has lost her right arm, and though her son is still alive, he has sided with Leng Ye, which is as good as having lost him.
The only chance she has to turn the tables now is to kill Leng Ye, which would leave Yi Kun without his father’s support. Then, Yi Kun would rember his mother.
After yelling at the nanny, she began rummaging through cabinets and drawers, searching for poison.
“I rember it was here, where has it gone? Oh, here, this is it.”
Soon, Lady Leng had turned the room upside down, but eventually, she found what she was looking for—a colorless, odorless poison that kills silently.
Furthermore, after taking this poison, even a pharmacist would not be able to detect the cause of death, which reassured her even more.
“Madam… Madam…”
The nanny watched Lady Leng staring at the porcelain bottle in her hand with a self-satisfied smirk and shuddered.
“What to do… What to do?”
If sothing were to happen to the Sect Master, everyone would suspect who was behind it. Does the lady really have such grandiose delusions to think that poisoning the Sect Master is a wise choice?
No, it can’t happen, she can’t let the lady do such a thing.
Although she doesn’t care whether the Sect Master lives or dies, she cares about her own life. If anything were to happen to the Sect Master, the first to die would surely be her, always at the lady’s side.
She must report to the Sect Master that the lady has gone mad and is thinking of poisoning the Sect Master.
With this thought, she stealthily turned around and hurriedly ran away.
…
“You may leave.”
After dismissing the shivering nanny, Sect Master Leng raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows a few tis.
His wife must indeed be pushed to the brink, to even co up with the idea of poisoning him—does she really think that without him, the Eternal Night Sect would be hers?
Leng Yikun sat nearby, listening to the nanny’s words, and his heart also cooled.
“Yi Kun, you heard it too. Your mother, she is really… sigh,” Sect Master Leng looked at his son and sighed deeply.
Such a person, when truly malicious, could do anything—a mad dog isn’t as crazed as Lady Leng. He even pondered whether she would dare to lash out at her own son if Leng Yikun refused to obey her?
To Lady Leng, there probably aren’t any beloved sons or daughters. In her eyes, there’s only her own power.
“Father, is there an Iron House in Bei Jue, if I rember correctly?” Leng Yikun asked.
“Hmm?”
Sect Master Leng raised an eyebrow.
Bei Jue leads to another passage from the secret chambers of Shi House. There’s an Iron House there, fully equipped like a world of its own, self-sufficient—the occasional delivery of goods is all that is needed.
