Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Always Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger
Chu Yuxiao indeed did not count down any further. His sharp black eyes narrowed slightly, his voice frosty.
“Are you threatening ?”
“Not at all. It’s just that you’re being too petty. I just want to take a look at the corpses, why must you adopt such a distant attitude?”
“Fine, since you want to see, I’ll let you see your fill! Servants, bring up the corpses!”
He wanted to see how this woman would react after seeing these corpses, if she would be scared out of her wits.
He hoped it would scare her silly.
...
Su Yan imdiately gave him a fist and palm salute with a smile, “I’m grateful to the Marquis for this.”
Chu Yuxiao saw her smile, but he felt deep loathing.
Just the thought of having to face that silly face for three nights made him feel like he was living in a nightmare.
If it weren’t for his mother, why would he agree to marry an idiot.
Although, she wasn’t stupid now, the mory of her foolishness was deeply buried in his mind, nauseating him at the re thought.
The undisguised disgust in his eyes was, of course, noticed by Su Yan.
She sneered inwardly, this filthy stud horse was the disgusting one.
The bodies were quickly brought up.
Since it was sumr and the weather was hot, two of the bodies had already started to stink.
Su Yan took out a white handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, and used a folding fan to lift the white cloths covering the bodies.
The three corpses had all been drained of blood, their bodies pallid.
Su Yan examined them closely; aside from nail-cap-sized wounds on their necks, there were indeed no other injuries, but also no signs of a struggle.
How could this be, they didn’t even struggle before their blood was drained?
There must be sothing strange going on.
Suddenly, Su Yan took off her handkerchief, leaned down close to the nostrils of the corpses, and sniffed seriously.
This action stunned everyone present.
A flicker of astonishnt passed through Chu Yuxiao’s eyes.
Not only was she not afraid of the corpses, she was… getting that close…
His eyes narrowed as he looked at Su Yan, his gaze shifting from derision to sothing more serious.
Perhaps, this woman had always been pretending to be a pig to eat tigers; she seed to be quite shrewd…
Lowering his eyelids, Chu Yuxiao already had so calculations in mind. In a few days, he would have to find so tasks for this woman.
