Chapter 45 Why?
Sheng Junyi, dressed in a loose red shirt, leaned casually against the chair, glancing at Lu Yangyang with a hint of disdain.
"I am Sheng Junyi."
Seeing that Lu Yangyang didn't react, he added a sentence.
Lu Yangyang looked at him, then glanced at the door. "What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing. The Duke's mansion is not a place for you. We'll take you back to where you belong."
Sheng Junyi waved the folding fan in her hand with a smile on her lips, but the next second, Lu Yangyang instinctively dodged to the side, and a dark shadow immediately attacked her.
Lu Yangyang picked up a chair and smashed it at the dark figure without any hesitation.
The shadowy figure probably didn't expect her to dodge and even seize the opportunity to attack. However, it only took a moment before its hand turned into a claw and grabbed at her shoulder.
Lu Yangyang deliberately lingered a beat, waiting for the moment the hand landed on her shoulder before grabbing the other person's wrist and squeezing it hard.
With a cracking sound, she crushed the man's wrist bone.
Lu Yangyang didn't stop for a moment. She grabbed the other person's wrist forcefully, bent down and slammed the other person to the ground. Before the other person could react, she pressed her knee down hard, pressing it into the other person's chest.
With a muffled groan, Lu Yangyang didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed the other person's neck and crushed their throat with a single blow.
The whole thing only took a few moments.
Startled, Sheng Junyi sat up straight from her chair, looking at the lifeless corpse on the ground, then at Lu Yangyang, whose expression remained unchanged, and felt somewhat dazed.
"I was just trying to get you out of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, and you actually killed him?" Sheng Junyi looked at the little girl in front of him in disbelief. She was very small and looked dark and thin. Although clothes can make a person, they can't hide her excessive thinness and malnutrition.
He thought she was just a country girl with no experience, and that he didn't even need to lift a finger; he could simply send her away.
I never expected this little brat to be so ruthless.
Lu Yangyang stood up, grabbed a chair, and smashed it at Sheng Junyi.
Sheng Junyi dodged, and the chair smashed the chair he had just been sitting on to pieces.
"Are you crazy?" Sheng Junyi exclaimed in shock.
“You’re the one who’s crazy, not me. Just because you want to send me away, does that mean I have to listen to you? Why should I leave? Just because you don’t like me, you’ve fabricated some crime against me and sent people to hold me down and take me away without any explanation, does that mean I have to leave? Why should I?” Lu Yangyang stared directly at Sheng Junyi and asked, word by word.
Why?
Sheng Junyi was stunned. Why?
He had never thought about this question. He just felt that it was just a mistake back then, and that was that. Whoever grew up in the Duke's mansion was the Duke's daughter. If Lu Yangyang stayed obediently, it would just be supporting another person, and the Duke's mansion could afford to support her.
But Lu Yangyang is restless, so what's the point of keeping her around?
Just send it away.
That's it.
"Can't answer, huh?" Lu Yangyang sneered. "You self-righteous people are really interesting. You think I should leave, so you want to decide my fate on your own? Well, I think you deserve to die too. Do you want to leave your life behind?"
Sheng Junyi looked at Lu Yangyang with surprise and uncertainty.
This was unlike any of the girls he knew.
In his eyes, the young girls were either delicate or had a bit of a temper, but neither was a big deal.
Most young girls in Beijing are like this.
This was the first time he had ever seen Lu Yangyang act like this—decisive and ruthless, striking without hesitation and without regard for whether she could actually do it.
Whether she could do it or not, at this moment, the way she looked at him was no different from looking at a dead person.
Sheng Junyi has always acted as he pleased, and this is the first time he has run into a brick wall.
He didn't even know what to do with her.
If it were anyone else, he would have killed them without hesitation; he would never have let her leave this house.
But she was, after all, his own sister. He could let her go and fend for herself, but he couldn't bring himself to kill her.
It's a bit difficult.
In a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Sheng Junyi's mind, but he still couldn't figure out how to deal with her, so he simply gave up. "You are indeed quite interesting. I will let you go today, but whether you can stay depends on your own abilities. Father doesn't like useless people."
He lifted his leg and walked outside.
Lu Yangyang bent down, grabbed the corpse, and threw it at Sheng Junyi. Sheng Junyi's figure flashed, and the next moment, he appeared outside the door.
"I'll find someone to handle it. Do as you see fit."
The words were barely out of his mouth when he was gone.
Two ordinary-looking servants appeared out of thin air, bowing their heads slightly, and entered the house. They quickly carried the corpse away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yangyang stepped across the threshold and looked at the quiet courtyard, but what she was thinking was, "What amazing lightness skill!"
She had never formally studied martial arts, but the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) she worked with told her that there were many famous martial arts sects in the Jianghu, all of whom were true martial arts masters. The镖师 said that she had good aptitude and was a good prospect for martial arts. If she had the opportunity to become an apprentice in the future, she might be able to make a name for herself!
At that time, she didn't care. Since she had never seen her before, she didn't pay attention to it. She just wanted to make a living and find a job at the security escort agency when her aunt passed away and she was all alone.
The last time, when the Duke of Sheng sent his servants to suddenly attack her, it was the first time she had ever seen someone who could subdue her with force.
She had just seen it clearly: from the moment she threw the chair to the door, a distance of several meters, he only needed the time it took for the chair to land before he was already outside the courtyard.
She could never catch up to that speed.
She acted on impulse, having survived battles in the mountains and forests. She knew that when facing danger, it was a matter of life or death. So when she was attacked, she seized the opportunity, knowing that her opponent had let their guard down, and went for the kill without hesitation.
She was so young to live with a madman. Even though most of the villagers were good, there were still plenty of hooligans in the surrounding area. If she wasn't ruthless enough, she and her aunt wouldn't have been able to survive.
So she dealt with her attackers swiftly and decisively.
But she was no match for Sheng Junyi.
At that speed, if Sheng Junyi wanted to attack her, she probably wouldn't be able to escape at all.
For the first time, Lu Yangyang realized that surviving in the capital city might not be as easy as she had thought.
……
Early the next morning, Sheng Yunzhu's head maid, Dianmo, came to Lu Yangyang's courtyard.
“Miss Lu, our young lady has invited the virtuous fairy to the manor and requests that you come to receive her. However, due to the lady's illness, the meeting place has been arranged at Qingfeng Pavilion. We have come to inform you of this.”
