"No!" Li Heng said without hesitation, "Why do you think I would let you go if you want to kill me? What qualifications do you have for me to let you go?"

"I'm just letting you choose how you die now."

"Li Heng, no matter what, we are siblings. You have called me Second Sister for nine years. Has Second Sister been bad to you over the years?"

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Li Wanying tried the soft approach.

She wanted to use emotional appeal to impress Li Heng. After all, he was just a nine-year-old child. He couldn't be more difficult to deal with than Mu Zhen and the others.

She naturally didn't want to die, so even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she wanted to fight for it.

"Li Heng, Second Sister was just confused for a moment and was used by Mu Yiwen. Second Sister didn't really want you to die."

"You are my brother! You are the prince of the royal palace that all of us cherish in our hearts. Li Heng, can you give my second sister a chance?"

She knelt down towards Li Heng, but her eyes were fixed on the dagger at Li Heng's feet.

If...she was fast enough, she could still stab the little bastard to death with one knife.

No, you should stab the dog slave who is good at martial arts next to him first.

Now that this dog slave is dead, it will be easy to kill that little bastard Li Heng.

Thinking of this, she burst into tears, feeling painful and sad, "Li Heng, please forgive me this time! I really know I was wrong, and I will listen to you from now on."

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Second sister..."

"Go to hell, you bastard!" She quickly picked up the dagger and stabbed Li Heng fiercely.

but……

There was no chance that her dagger would touch Li Heng.

Seventeen snatched the dagger from her hand with lightning speed, and then lightly wiped her neck.

Li Wanying was speechless. She covered her neck tightly with both hands. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at Li Heng.

Li Heng just watched the bright red blood flow out from between her fingers, but he didn't show any fear or horror.

He took two steps back and looked at her indifferently, "I was going to give you a chance, but it's a pity you didn't want it."

"In that case, then get on your way. They are all waiting for you, so you won't be alone."

Li Wanying wanted to say something else, but no sound came out.

"Ruyi, come in." Li Heng's deep voice sounded.

Ruyi pushed the door open and came in, "Prince."

"It's been dealt with and the house has been cleaned." He ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes! Prince, I will take care of it." Ruyi responded.

"Seventeen, let's go. I miss my mother and sister."

"Yes, prince!"

……

Mu Yiwen did not wait for the good news that Li Wanying killed Li Heng, but waited for Li Heng to come to the Marquis' Mansion.

The moment they saw Li Heng, Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son, knew that Li Wanying had not succeeded and was most likely dead.

Let her die! Anyway, no one really expected her to accomplish anything.

This is a useless person who is incapable of doing anything good but always causes trouble.

What surprised them was the change in Li Heng.

How could this be the sickly Li Heng they knew?

Although his body was still thin and weak, he no longer looked sickly.

His face is rosy, he is full of energy, his eyes are bright, he is clearly a child with high morale.

This……

For a moment, the father and son didn't know what to say.

Didn't everyone say that Li Heng would have a short life and wouldn't live past the age of ten? After all, when I saw him before, he really looked very ill and about to die.

"Second uncle, eldest cousin." Li Heng called the two of them with a smile, and his politeness was impeccable.

The father and son retracted their expressions and smiled at him.

"Brother Heng looks in good health! Second uncle is very pleased to see you like this. You don't have to worry about you anymore." Murjin looked at him lovingly.

"Yes! My cousin is happy for you too." Mu Yiwen nodded.

Li Heng still smiled as if in spring breeze, "It is all thanks to my second uncle and eldest cousin that I am healthy and have the opportunity to be in front of my second uncle and eldest cousin."

"Heh..." The father and son smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

Thanks to them?

Why does this sound like it's hinting at something?

Of course, even if I understood it, I would never admit it.

This was happening in the West Courtyard, and Li Heng came to the West Courtyard himself to pay his respects to his second uncle.

To be precise, Li Heng came to the Marquis' Mansion from Zhuangzi, and as soon as he entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he went directly to the west courtyard to "pay his respects" to his second uncle.

He hasn't even paid his respects to his grandmother, the old lady.

He just wanted to give his second uncle and eldest cousin an unexpected surprise.

Obviously, his goal was achieved.

The moment Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son, saw him, they were indeed shocked.

In their opinion, the sickly Li Heng should have gone to see Li Maoan.

But now she appeared in front of them with a smile on her face, which naturally meant that the waste Li Wanying had failed again.

So, he appeared in front of them now, was it a provocation? Was it his intention? Or was it the intention of the old man and the people in the first house?

For a moment, the father and son could not figure out Li Heng's intentions.

Ever since that day when they had a falling out with me and the first wife, Mu Erjin and his son Mu Yiwen never went to the old lady's Qing'an Residence again.

They also didn't expect Li Heng to come to the West Courtyard and speak to them politely.

Of course, both father and son knew that this was all just a facade. Being polite and courteous was just a show.

They both knew clearly in their hearts that this mansion was filled with murderous intent, which could be ignited at any time.

Mu Zhen did not come with them.

The only one who accompanied Li Heng to the West Courtyard was Seventeen.

Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son, don't take the child Seventeen seriously at all.

He is just a child, Li Heng's servant. What role can he play?

Unfortunately, they didn't know Seventeen's ability. If they knew that Li Wanying died at the hands of Seventeen, they would be terrified.

Li Heng did not stay long, but after exchanging a few words with them, he left.

"Father, what does he mean by this?" After Li Heng left, Mu Yiwen looked at Mu Erjin with a puzzled look and asked, "What do you think this means? Or is it the intention of the old man or the eldest wife?"

Murjin did not answer him immediately, but frowned and looked thoughtful.

Suddenly, he glared at Mu Yiwen fiercely, "What kind of women are you attracted to? Each of them is incapable of accomplishing anything, and is more likely to cause trouble than success!"

Mu Yiwen was scolded by him and couldn't refute it.

"Second Master, Young Master, something...something happened!" Mu Yiwen's personal servant came running towards them with a panicked and terrified look on his face.
