Chapter 1735: Chapter 1728: He Killed Leng Muling

“Go ahead, kill me!”

Leng Muling’s cheekbones were about to be crushed, yet there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes, “You’re so capable, Lu Mian, why are you still holding back against me?

You, Lu Mian, so capable, you think I’ll surrender quickly!

But you didn’t expect this, did you? You didn’t manage to lock me up, and I went out to ruin your reputation. Not only do you have to pay with countless amounts, but you also have to be scorned and humiliated by women across the land!

How angry you must be!”

Leng Muling was like a fishbone, stubbornly stuck in Lu Mian’s throat.

Never before had he been provoked so obviously, nor had he been so out of control.

He dragged Leng Muling up, forcefully slamming her against the sharp corner of the table.

“Bang—”

Blood splattered everywhere.

Leng Qiu rushed over, charging towards Leng Muling, holding her and screaming, “Miss! Miss!”

Lu Mian returned to the study, his hands covered in blood, standing in the dim light. His side profile was dark and somber, like clouds pressing down from above.

He placed his hands under the light. It was clearly a terrifying scene, yet he found it utterly laughable: “Lu Mian, you once pursued fame and fortune to be a loyal minister, to support the country;

You once endured bitter sufferings studying for ten years, with a bright future ahead!

You once loved Jin’er, swore to treat her well, with tenderness towards women…”

Yet he dared not think what he had become now!

With one step into the royal court, his whole being seemed to fall into a muddy abyss.

He wanted to save Yun Sijin, so he fought desperately in the officialdom, hoping that when he held enough power, he could rescue her, overturn her family’s case, stand proudly with her, and marry her as his madam.

But she agreed to marry Zhuo Junli in the brothel.

Ten years of childhood friendship could not compare to the short few months she knew Zhuo Junli!

How he hated it!

He frantically reveled in revenge on the Leng family, and Zhuo Junli, standing in opposition to him on the royal court, overthrowing Leng Yi, killing Leng Shuqing, even driving a wedge between Leng Muling and Mo Qi, causing them endless pain!

He almost killed Leng Muling just now too.

Looking at his blood-stained hands, Lu Mian felt immense irony, pain, and torment!

He slumped into the chair, pulling out a letter from the desk drawer, intending to give it to Leng Muling, to tell her that between her and Mo Qi, it was just a misunderstanding he instigated.

That wretched woman Hong Lian’s child also had issues!

He still wanted to see Yun Sijin, to roar madly, asking why she wouldn’t see him anymore, why she had to torment him like this!

To end their ten years of friendship!

She had affectionately called him “cousin” for a whole decade!𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Ten years!

How could she bear to just abandon him like that?

Lu Mian picked up the letter, plunging into agony!

But the voice of a servant came from outside, “Lord, Master Zhuo has received the news and has arrived at the manor.”

Lu Mian suddenly snapped back to reality, “Zhuo Junli? How did he know?”

He realized there was a spy for Zhuo Junli in this manor!

The servant was too terrified to speak, and Lu Mian’s faint guilt dissipated in an instant. He immediately stood up, ordered water to wash his hands, bathed, changed clothes, and then instructed to deal with Leng Muling, locking her in the attic and allowing no one to see her.

Zhuo Junli had been kept waiting for nearly half an hour. When he saw Lu Mian, Lu Mian was clothed, lazily indolent, with a gaze showing displeasure at being disturbed.

“Coming here so late at night, Master Zhuo better have important matters!”

Lu Mian’s tone was displeased, with a thick accent of lust.
