TFWYH – Chapter 850 Old Man Ling Dies

This shameless family!

After treating them so cruelly in the past, they were still like bloodsucking leeches, trying to latch onto her eldest brother and ruin his life.

In an instant, scene after scene of the abuse they had suffered flashed through Ling Yue’s mind.

Then she thought of the secrets hidden within the Ling family…

Of Madam Jiang, who had now become the Second Prince’s consort…

A bone-deep hatred filled Ling Yue’s eyes.

The vicious thought that had once crossed her mind resurfaced.

Why won’t those two old monsters just die? Why? Why?

She desperately wanted to rush inside and kill those two scum.

As long as they die… everything will be over.

Yes.

As long as they’re dead!

The poisonous flames of hatred were on the verge of consuming what remained of Ling Yue’s reason.

Just then, an astonished voice came from behind her.

“You’re… Ling Yue?”

Ling Yue suddenly snapped back to her senses.

She glanced back once before immediately turning to run.

Old Master Ling reacted quickly despite his age.

With surprising agility, he grabbed hold of her and shouted toward the room,

“Old woman! Hurry out! That wretched girl Ling Yue is here!”

The next moment, hurried footsteps sounded from inside.

Panicking, Ling Yue shoved Old Master Ling with all her strength.

“Ah!”

He stumbled backward, crashing directly into Old Madam Liu, who had just rushed out.

“Get out of the way, you old fool!”

Old Madam Liu had eyes only for Ling Yue.

Not only did she make no attempt to steady her husband, she found him an annoyance and shoved him hard herself.

Poor Old Master Ling had already lost his balance.

Instead of helping him, his own wife pushed him again.

He staggered backward several steps, missed his footing, and tumbled off the corridor.

By terrible coincidence, the back of his head slammed against a granite stone beside the flowerbed.

Bang!

Bright red blood spread across the stone, flowing outward.

Old Master Ling stared blankly up at the sky, his eyes wide open.

He died with his eyes still open.

The sudden turn of events shocked Old Madam Liu so badly that she froze, staring blankly at her husband’s corpse.

Ling Yue was equally stunned.

She had never imagined things would end like this.

For a moment, she forgot to run and simply stood there, dazed, her eyes vacant.

Yet…

Deep inside her heart, a strange sense of satisfaction quietly arose.

It was as if an evil voice whispered in her mind:

He’s finally dead.

How wonderful.

One of the people most responsible for tormenting our family… is finally gone.

“AAAAAHHH!”

Old Madam Liu finally came back to herself.

She let out a shrill scream, her eyes overflowing with terror.

Ling Yue also snapped out of her daze and turned to flee.

But it was already too late.

Several maids arrived with a group of estate guards, blocking her escape.

The head maid froze for only a second upon seeing the scene before immediately pointing at Ling Yue and shouting fiercely,

“Capture her!”

The guards immediately rushed toward Ling Yue.

Ling Yue knew no martial arts.

She was merely a defenseless young woman.

There was no way she could stand against several grown men.

In her panic, her eyes landed on her wrist.

A golden bracelet gleamed there.

Without thinking, she screamed for them not to come any closer while raising her arm toward the guards and pressing the hidden mechanism on the Seven-Exquisite Bracelet.

Pfft! Pfft!

The bracelet sprang open, firing several nearly invisible silver needles.

Li San’er, the lead guard, was struck by one.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood and died on the spot.

The remaining guards cried out in terror and hastily jumped back.

Ling Yue herself was horrified.

She had never imagined the hidden weapon her sister-in-law had given her would be so vicious.

Tang Wan: I didn’t expect that either. Don’t pin every disaster on me.

But…

Things had already reached this point.

She had no intention of being captured.

Suppressing her terror, she stubbornly kept her arm raised, aiming the bracelet at everyone else.

She looked on the verge of breaking down.

“Don’t come any closer! Whoever takes another step toward me… I’ll kill them!”

I killed someone.

I really killed someone.

At that moment, Ling Yue’s face was deathly pale.

Even the hand holding up the bracelet was trembling.
