Chapter 1664: Do Not Run

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shao Yucen took the wooden box containing the medicine with one hand. She did not dare to show her other hand, afraid that the two servant girls would find out that she had not cut her hand at all. When she saw the two servant girls try to come in, she was shocked. She was afraid that the man would stab her to death. She scolded, “Did I say you could enter? Get lost!”

Usually, Shao Yucen was temperamental and always. .h.i.t and scolded the servant girls. Therefore, when Shao Yucen suddenly changed her att.i.tude, the two servant girls did not feel that anything was wrong. They only ran further away, afraid that Shao Yucen would find an excuse to scold them or even hit them.

Seeing that the two servants had run far away, the man stretched out a foot and closed the door for Shao Yucen. Then, he locked the door. He threatened her, “Go inside.”

Then, Shao Yucen was taken into the inner room.

The man had been worried that Shao Yucen was skilled and would overpower him. Seeing that Shao Yucen burst into tears again, he let down his defenses. Her entire body was trembling, and she did not dare to make a sound in case it alerted the people outside. Moreover, Shao Yucen’s hands and limbs did not look like she had practiced martial arts. Only then did he relax and let go of Shao Yucen. However, he threatened, “If you dare to run, I will kill you too.”

Shao Yucen looked at the dagger in his hand and the sword on his waist. She could tell that he was a martial artist. She had been pampered since she was young. Even if she ran, she probably wouldn’t be as fast as him. Therefore, she took the safer option and stayed, hoping someone would come save her.

However, when she saw the man s.n.a.t.c.h the wooden box containing the medicine, she realized why he needed it. The man seemed to have been stabbed by someone. His originally black night clothes had become darker and there was a gaping hole. He had just torn a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes and bandaged it so that the blood would not drip on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Shao Yucen finally realized that the masked man in front of her was probably the thief who wanted to steal the gunpowder and cannon blueprints from the Ministry of Works.

“Why did you steal the gunpowder and cannon blueprints from the Ministry of Works?” she asked.

The man opened the wooden box and took out some medicine. He was about to treat his sword wound when he suddenly heard this; his eyes immediately filled with killing intent with that question.

Shao Yucen was so frightened that she cried, but she pouted her lips, not daring to let her cries spread outside the room.

The man saw that she was so afraid of death and changed the way he acted. “How did you know?” he tried to ask as nicely as he could.

Shao Yucen did not dare to hide the truth. “I…I just came back from my uncle’s house. On the way, I b.u.mped into someone from the Ministry of Works. They said that someone wanted to steal the gunpowder and cannon blueprints. They chased after the bloodstains.”

If she knew that the thief was in her room, she would not have come home tonight even if she had been beaten to death.

The man sneered. “You think you people are smart, but you people are st*pid. I played a little trick to confuse them and I ran here.”

He only let the blood drip at the beginning to lure people to chase after him. Later on, he stopped the bleeding. At least, he did not let the blood drip on the ground again. Then, he ran in another direction and happened to run into the Duke’s house. Thinking that the Duke’s house was a relative of the royal family, no one would think that he was hiding there. Therefore, he spent some effort to avoid the guards of the Duke’s house and hid there.

After going unnoticed, he entered a courtyard and a room.

Seeing that it seemed to be a woman’s room, he decided to stay. It should be easier to threaten a woman compared to a man, so he did not move and hid in this room.

He did not hide for long before this woman returned.
