They must be brothers, as they look somewhat similar. Lin Yushu had seen these two faces in her previous life, when she was married to Nan Huaishuo, and these two had appeared beside Nan Huaishuo.

At that time, Lin Yushu had been married for only three years, and the battle for the throne between the crown prince and the second prince was at a critical stage. Nan Huaishuo, as the crown prince's dog, was so busy that he often did not return home.

When she saw the assassin brothers, Lin Yushu was lying at Nan Huaishuo's feet, crying and begging him not to give Chuntao to the licentious King Zhao.

Nan Huaishuo kicked Lin Yushu aside impatiently, his tone extremely cold.

"The King of Zhao is deeply trusted by His Majesty. It is not easy to win him over. Now your maidservant is favored by him. This is her blessing. You once said that you can give everything to help me ascend the throne. Are you lying to me?"

Tears blurred Lin Yushu's lively eyes, and she couldn't stop wailing: "Chun Tao and I grew up together, and we are as close as sisters. I beg Your Highness to have mercy and let Chun Tao stay!"

Nan Huaishuo raised one eyebrow and narrowed his eyes slightly. Lin Yushu knew that his patience was exhausted.

Two tall guards pulled Chuntao up from her kneeling position, trembling and crying. Chuntao immediately struggled to run towards Lin Yushu. Before she could get close, a cracking sound of bones breaking pierced Lin Yushu's heart.

"No!"

"what!"

Lin Yushu and Chuntao screamed at the same time.

Lin Yushu rushed to Chuntao who had fainted from the pain. Her hands trembled as she held Chuntao. Chuntao's knees were broken by the waiter!

"This way you can't run around."

Nan Huaishuo's voice came lightly, and he seemed very satisfied with the guard's actions. That was the first time that Lin Yushu saw Nan Huaishuo's true character.

But it was too late, she couldn't escape.

The two guards ignored Lin Yushu's desperate resistance and snatched Chuntao from her arms. Chuntao's thin body dragged limply on the ground, like a dead dog, and was taken away by the two of them and sent to the bed of King Zhao.

The painful memories pierced her heart like an arrow. Lin Yushu hissed in pain and looked down at the faces of the two assassins. They were the two guards who dragged Chuntao away!

New and old grudges burned Lin Yushu's internal organs like fire, making her eyes red.

Lin Yushu slowly smiled and picked up the dagger from the ground. The blade that was supposed to fall on her now aimed at the assassin's knee.

The hand holding the knife was unusually steady, as if she had done this thousands of times before. Lin Yushu moved slowly, each stroke almost reverently. The tip of the knife cut through the nightgown and pierced into the flesh, making a soft "pop" sound.

One piece of patella was scraped off, followed by the second, third, fourth...

Lin Yushu's hands were covered in blood, and the smell of blood pierced her nose. Lin Yushu took a deep breath and once again felt the shudder of satisfaction and excitement from the depths of her soul. This was the pleasure of revenge.

The excitement like ocean waves washed over Lin Yushu's body. Lin Yushu felt satisfied. Chuntao would never be hurt by these two people again in this life!

Just as Lin Yushu was immersed in it, a tall and straight figure stood quietly outside the window, staring at her silently through the gap in the wooden window.

Seeing the girl in the house scraping off a living person's patella with her own hands, and the blood all over the ground making the girl's fair skin look dazzling, the person outside the window actually laughed softly.

It was this laugh that startled Lin Yushu so much that she opened her eyes wide and looked out the window abruptly. The tall silhouette was reflected on the window like a ghost.

Lin Yushu's heart skipped a beat. There was actually an assassin!

It seems that Second Aunt has put a lot of effort into destroying her.

Lin Yushu grabbed the dagger with one hand and pushed herself up with the other. Before the people outside the window could react, the dagger flew out of her hand and stabbed fiercely out of the window.

The window paper was pierced in an instant, and just when Lin Yushu was sure that the assassin outside the window could not escape the dagger, the figure disappeared.

As if it disappeared in an instant, Lin Yushu was in doubt. Was she stabbed? She slowly walked towards the window, one hand hidden behind her back, tightly holding a medicine bottle.

Lin Yushu stood by the window, leaned sideways and looked out through the hole in the window. Everything was the same as before, nothing unusual.

The courtyard was still as quiet as before, as if the figure just now was just Lin Yushu's illusion.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a strong wind came with great force from the window, breaking the wooden window in an instant. Lin Yushu was knocked over and fell heavily to the ground. Half of her body was in so much pain that she lost consciousness.

Before Lin Yushu could turn around to see what was going on, a cold, hard hand tightly grasped her neck. She subconsciously waved her hands and hit the man's arms randomly, but it was like hitting a rock, and her hands were numb from the shock.

The man who broke into the room grabbed Lin Yushu's neck with one hand, pulled her up from the ground, and pushed her against the wall with a cold tone.

"I didn't expect Miss Lin to be such a femme fatale with such a vicious heart. I wonder what the people in the General's Mansion would do if they knew about this."

After the man finished speaking, Lin Yushu felt the hand on her neck loosen a lot, and fresh air returned to her body. Lin Yushu coughed violently a few times, and a bloody smell came out of her mouth.

Lin Yushu's red face was now bulging with veins, and she couldn't stop breathing heavily. She was filled with doubt and asked in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you sent by the General's Mansion?"

Since the man said "General's Mansion" instead of "Master", it means he was not an assassin sent by Second Aunt. However, this man's martial arts skills were extremely high, and Lin Yushu had no power to fight back. If he wanted to kill Lin Yushu at this moment, she would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

"Instead of worrying about where I came from, you might as well worry about whether you can survive tonight."

The words that came out of the mouth of the person in front of her were as cold as ice, and Lin Yushu couldn't help but shiver.

She secretly looked up and saw that the man was wearing a night suit and a silver mask. Although her face could not be seen, he had a straight posture and an extraordinary temperament. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary thief.

While she was thinking about how to deal with this person, Lin Yushu felt a hand gently holding her neck, and the fingertips were caressing her smooth and white neck, as if playing with a piece of fine jade.

Lin Yushu was filled with shame and indignation, and her heart was raging with anger, and she blurted out angry curses.

"presumptuous!"

As soon as the words fell, the man and Lin Yushu were both stunned. Lin Yushu regretted her quick words, but her momentum was not softened at all, "Kill me if you want, but don't insult me!"

The man sneered, "Oh, a dying man is qualified to make requests?"

"What do you want?"

"Miss Lin is so smart and ruthless. She is totally unlike the dull and stupid image described by others. Could it be that..."

While Lin Yushu was in doubt, the man continued, "Could it be that you are not the real eldest daughter of the Lin family, but a fake one?"

"Hmph, are you here to verify my identity?"

The man smiled playfully, "Just leave this matter to Minister Lin. I want to make a deal with Miss Lin."

Lin Yushu was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked down at the hands holding her neck. Her knuckles were symmetrical and slender, and her tone was calm, "Oh? Is this your attitude when looking for someone to do business with?"

"Miss Lin is as cunning as a fox. I'm afraid of being deceived, just like Li Erma..."

The man's low and hoarse voice gently floated past Lin Yushu's ears.

"Li Erma never thought about why Miss Lin rescued him from the county jail, so he just followed your instructions. As a result... Li Erma was caught by the bailiffs yesterday and sentenced to immediate execution along with Zhaodi. It's a two-birds-with-one-stone move. Miss Lin is really good at this!"
