Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 545 - The Mysterious Shopkeeper

Chapter 545 The Mysterious Shopkeeper

Sumei laughed grimly when she saw how Hongyu was looking death calmly in the face.

“Alright, if even my own sister is only concerned about other people, what’s the use of keeping you around? Go on, I’ll explain to the master later.”

Sumei shouted viciously when she saw the servants’ hesitance.

To her, there was no longer any affection between the kins.

“Yes.”

Although Hongyu was one of them, her status was lower than that of Sumei after all.

The group of people was like fiends that broke into Hongyu’s room.

As Lin Mengya witnessed how a slender and frail Hongyu planted herself in front of Lin Mengya fearlessly, Lin Mengya could not help but gasp.

Despite having lived a life as a prost.i.tute, she was much stronger than many others in terms of her mental strength.

As Lin Mengya patted Hongyu’s shoulder, she was not surprised to feel her body tremble.

Who could face death without any fear?

“Fear not, they won’t be able to kill me. I am Lin Mengya. Whoever among you informs your master immediately to tell him that I’m here, you will be greatly rewarded.”

Lin Mengya gazed calmly at the fiends before but was not one bit afraid.

Sumei had wished to get rid her of but she would not have her way today.

All the people hesitated for a moment. Not to mention other factors, the small face which had been wiped clean did look a little familiar.

There were many other girls in the mansion who resembled this girl before their eyes at this moment.

At this moment, their work was had to be stalled given no choice.

“Don’t be taken in by this woman’s nonsense! She is just buying time. If you kill her, I’ll report it to the master and you’ll be rewarded handsomely!”

Sumei tried to instigate those men, lest they be fooled by Lin Mengya’s tricky words.

However, the more exasperated she was, the more clear-minded the servants became. They were starting to smell something fishy.

“Why do you have to be so aggressive and pushy? You’re planning to kill me and push the blame to these servants, am I right? Why don’t you ever figure out why your master had tried so hard looking for those girls who resembled me? If you were to kill me today, I’m sure your master will be furious. You might not be able to bear the consequence. In this case, do you still want to harm me?”

The more certain Lin Mengya sounded, the more urgent Sumei felt.

Why was she always defeated by Lin Mengya before people?

No way! Even if her master got furious, she had to eradicate this stinking woman!

“If you’re not going to make a move, I will!”

The servants had stopped in their tracks. Sumei might be of high status, but she was still in the position of command.

Moreover, the woman she was up against sounded reasonable.

If they were to offend their master because of the crazy woman, their loss would outweigh their gain.

Sumei, having gone crazy, wielded the knife of one of the servants and brought it down on Lin Mengya forcefully.

Hongyu, who was determined to face death boldly, moved towards Sumei.

There was no way Lin Mengya would allow her to die a wrongful death. Deftly, Lin Mengya put her arms around Hongyu and the two fell to the side huddled together.

Behind them, Xiu, who was prepared long ago, moved nimbly as if she was a swallow.

She ducked so Sumei missed her when she tried to pounce on her.

With a “clank”, the heavy knife went onto the bedpost.

Sumei, who had missed Lin Mengya on her first go, grow in her hatred towards Lin Mengya. She wielded the steel knife again and charged towards her.

Lin Mengya grabbed hold of Hongyu’s arm and ran into the crowd.

However, Sumei did not seem to care but followed them into the crowd wielding the knife.

The room, which was already crowded with people was immediately filled with cries of alarm.

Little did the servants expect Sumei to not distinguish between her enemy and allies.

In that instant, all the people in the room had only one thought, which was to get out of the room, lest they be implicated.

Little did they expect, however, that the exit was jammed and it was difficult for anyone to get out.

On top of that, Lin Mengya and Hongyu were able to move among the crowd given their slim figures.

Having gone crazy, Sumei’s eyes were now bloodshot. Two servants who failed to duck in time were injured by the wielding of her knife.

Instantly, Sumei’s pale face was stained with dark red blood.

The hideous expression on her face had driven away from the supposed grace and beauty in her which she tried so hard to cultivate. She looked more like a messenger from h.e.l.l who was after people’s lives.

“Run, everyone! She’s gone mad, she’s going to kill all of us!”

Seeing their fellow servants having collapsed onto the floor, the servants who eyed Sumei suspicious just a moment ago had come to the realization that Sumei was only using them. Why else would Sumei lash out and injure their fellow servants?

Once their thoughts were straightened out, vicious looks appeared on their faces too.

How many of the people living in this mansion was easy to push around?

In that instant, a few skillful men had surrounded Sumei from behind.

Although Sumei did not know martial arts, they were still afraid that they might get hurt accidentally when she wielded the knife anyhow.

For this reason, they were helpless and unable to subdue her.

“Go get help! This woman had gone crazy!”

Upon hearing the cry for help from his fellow servants who were still trapped in the room, a servant who managed to escape quickly went to look for help, stumbling as he went.

.

In that instant, Lin Mengya and the other two also managed to get out of the room in such a chaotic situation.

Coincidentally, no one noticed them. Without any hesitation, Lin Mengya, followed by Hongyu and Xiu thought to leave the way they came.

Little did Lin Mengya expect that the moment they exited the gates, a long sword came toward her and stopped at her neck.

The blade of the knife had cut off a little of her long black hair.

Her instincts told her that her life could be taken from her by this long sword anytime.

“Since you’re here, Princess Yu, why hurry to leave?”

A familiar voice sounded in the air.

Thereafter, a figure clad in black clothes emerged from the side. The person was wearing a cold expression on his face and he was holding the hilt of the sword.

However, Lin Mengya looked beyond the man and saw that a man dressed in elegant cyan clothes, and he had gentle and delicate features.

At this moment, the man held Lin Mengya’s gaze with a subtle smile on his face.

“It’s been days since we last met. Have you been well, Princess Yu?”

With the exception of Xiu, Lin Mengya and Hongyu both jerked from the surprise.

This man was none other than the shopkeeper of Huichun House who released her that day without a reason.

Why was he here?

“It appeared that Princess Yu was curious as to why I’m here. In that case, why don’t you stay a few more days in my mansion, Princess Yu, so that I can explain myself regarding your doubts. Han Ling, please make the princess feel at home.”

“Yes, Master.”

The man in black put down his sword and cupped his hands together in response.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya and her other two companions did not dare to act rashly.

It was because of the chilling look in the eyes of the man in black. She was certain that the moment they act rashly, the three of them might lose heads.

She would have to play along instead of taking any risks.

Lin Mengya was not one to confront the tough with toughness. Since she had b.u.mped into an acquaintance, she would like to find out what he had to say about their old days.

“Go.”

The man in black who was called Han Ling simply blurted a word coldly.

The three girls exchanged looks and finally decided to follow him into the unknown.

Lin Mengya turned around and saw the back of the man.

She was aware that both Huichun House and its shopkeeper were not as simple as they appeared to be.

However, seeing him was beyond her imagination.

She could not help but tug on Hongyu’s sleeve as asked, “Have you seen him ever since you arrived here?”

.

Hongyu seemed frightened as she turned to look at the shopkeeper’s back and shook her head afterward.

This was strange. Could the person whom Sumei addressed as master be this mysterious shopkeeper of Huichun House?

If that was the case, why did he release Lin Mengya in the first place?

A series of question marks emerged from Lin Mengya’s mind as if they were all entangled together.

Now it appeared that the shopkeeper himself would have to provide her with all the answers to her queries.

Han Ling brought the three of them to a quiet courtyard, opened the main door to a room, and signaled with his cold eyes for them to enter and make any trouble.

Knowing that Xiu was still carrying a considerable amount of the poisonous bug and poisonous medication, Lin Mengya tried to restrain Xiu, who was feeling frustrated.

Those items were their trump card and it was not fitting for them to waste them on any random pa.s.serby.

The room was somewhat quiet and Lin Mengya, together with the other two girls, sat down on the round stools surrounding a table.

With a “bang”, Han Ling shut the door to the room tightly.

It seemed that he was prepared to guard the door.

Thank goodness that Lin Mengya did not feel afraid at all. She would not have barged into this large mysterious house if she did not have a contingent plan.

However, before she extricated herself, she had to unearth the truth about this place.

“Sigh, Your Highness, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect Sumei to turn into this.”

It was only after a long time that Hongyu spoke up and she looked apologetically at Lin Mengya when she spoke.

She used to think that Sumei was only getting into a huff as a spoilt brat.

She even went to the extent to defend her using excuses that she had been deceived when she saw with her own eyes, how Sumei dipped herself in the pool of human blood.

Today, she had seen for herself how Sumei had indeed turned into a perverse person.

She laughed bitterly and shook her head at the thought that she almost wanted to get herself killed.

“You are not to be blamed. She had brought all these upon herself and no one else should be blamed. Hongyu, I know you can’t accept this within such a short time, but I’m hoping that you can come along with me.”

This was an invitation Lin Mengya made after much consideration.

If it were the Hongyu of the past, she would still have the mental strength to start her life anew if all she had suffered was physical torture.

However, the Hongyu at this moment was drained both physically and mentally. She no longer had the courage to start a quiet life anew.
