Chapter 118: Danger 1
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the second floor of the pleasure boat.
The rooms were neatly arranged and specially prepared for the guests who were staying over.
At this moment, in a certain room.
The floor was covered with a red carpet, and the interior of the house was exquisitely decorated. There were chairs, bed cabinets, a table, and a dressing table. It had everything that one could need.
In the left corner of the room, there was an exquisite screen.
A woman with a graceful figure in a thin veil had been painted on it. There were also a few blooming peony flowers.
Behind the screen, a young girl in a white dress and a white fox fur coat was sitting on a chair with a pale face. There was blood at the corner of her mouth.
Her snow-white handkerchief with flowers embroidered on it was already stained red with blood.
Beside her stood a burly old woman. She was holding her delicate right wrist tightly with one hand.
It was quiet inside the room.
The old woman stood at the side like a stone statue. She narrowed her eyes and did not move.
The girl’s wrist was red from the tight hold the old woman had on her hand. She sat there and coughed from time to time. Every time she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she would cough up a mouthful of blood, and her face became paler.
On both sides of the door stood two women who looked like maidservants. They were both burly and had muscular arms.
When they boarded the ship, most people would be searched. They could not carry sharp weapons onto the boat.
However, at this moment, the two maidservants each held a sharp dagger in their hands. They stood motionless and stared at the closed door with burning eyes.
“Ahem!”
Qin Weimo sat on the chair and coughed again.
The windows were tightly shut, and the curtains were drawn. There was no cold wind.
She raised her hand that was holding the handkerchief and covered her mouth. She coughed softly again. When she removed the handkerchief, it was stained with blood again.
The old woman holding her wrist glanced at her indifferently and finally could not help but say, “Second Young Miss Qin, you can’t be anxious. With how frail you are, if you cough like this a few more times, even an immortal won’t be able to save you.”
After a pause, she said coldly, “Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to that kid. My Miss is sad that you two are in love, but you’re unable to be together because of those societal rules and customs, so she wants to fulfill your wish tonight.’
Qin Weimo’s face was pale as she looked at the two maidservants guarding the door with daggers in their hands. She muttered softly, “Brother-in-law and I are not in love…”
The old woman sneered and said, “Second Young Miss Qin, don’t worry. After tonight, the two of you can be together. Look at the wine jar on the table. When your Elementary Scholar Brother-in-law is drunk later, he will definitely take good care of you in bed. I believe that you will also look forward to it.”
Qin Weimo lowered her head and looked at the blood on the handkerchief. Her face was pale, but her voice was still calm. “I will die today, right? Brother-in-law’s reputation will be ruined. Even if he’s not killed by you tonight, he’ll be executed… The Qin family… will also be ruined and become the laughingstock of the other families in MO City… Is this what you want to see?”
The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at her. “Second Young Miss Qin, you’re indeed very smart. To be honest, I really can’t bear for someone like you to die. Unfortunately…”
Then, she sneered and said, “If you can hold on, you might be able to leave safely tonight. We won’t dare to kill anyone here… That medicine will only last for two hours. Your brother-in-law is like you. His body is weak and he won’t be able to last long. You still have a chance to live. At that time, both of you might be able to walk out naked in front of everybody’s eyes.
“Of course. Your pitiful brother-in-law will surely be executed.”
“However, his death won’t be in vain. At the very least, before he died, he could enjoy a wonderful beauty like you, Second Young Miss Qin. It’s quite worthwhile if you ask me.”
The old woman seemed to feel bored waiting, but she also felt that Qin Weimo had vomited too much blood. She was afraid that Qin Weimo would die before Luo Qingzhou arrived. If that happened, things would be difficult to deal with, so she became more talkative.
“Ahem!”
Qin Weimo coughed again. She raised her handkerchief and covered her mouth. Her fingers trembled. She seemed as if she wanted to reach up and grab the sharp hairpin in her hair. Her eyes revealed a hint of determination.
She would rather die than implicate her brother-in-law.
However, the old woman behind her stared at her intently with eagle-like eyes. Qin Weimo lowered her hand and looked down at the handkerchief in her hand.
She coughed out another mouthful of blood on her handkerchief.
The old woman sneered. “It’s useless to be anxious. Just wait. That kid should be here soon.”
Just as she finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside.
The old woman narrowed her eyes and gripped Qin Weimo’s delicate wrist tightly. However, she did not cover her mouth, as if she deliberately wanted Qin Weimo to cough or make a sound.
The two strong maidservants standing on both sides of the door immediately tensed up. They gripped the daggers in their hands tightly and held their breaths. Their eyes were fixed on the door, like ferocious beasts about to pounce on their prey!
Qin Weimo’s gaze was also fixed on the door. Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes widened.
BANG!
The door was suddenly pushed open rudely.
Then, a figure hurriedly staggered in from the door.
Swoosh!
The moment the figure appeared, the strong maidservants guarding both sides suddenly pounced forward. They stretched out the daggers in their hands and aimed at the figure’s throat and waist!
However, before the dagger could approach the figure, the two maidservants suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Before they could react, another figure suddenly charged in. With a loud bang, he punched one of the maidservants in the temple!
The fist carried a terrifying wind and even produced an ear-piercing sonic boom!
