Pitter-patter!

Raindrops hit the bronze wooden window of the palace . The weather turned gloomy out of a sudden .
Eunuchs who sounded the night watches were moving around the side hall, beating the gongs . The sound was long and lingering . Everything was dull and depressing .
Helian Wei Wei who went to bed early was not feeling well . Her forehead was even covered in a thin layer of sweat due to some unknown incidents . She swayed her head from side to side as if she was trying to get rid of her dream .
She walked into an abandoned courtyard in the dark . The yard was full of huge red lanterns .
As there were a lot of red lanterns, the courtyard was shrouded in blood-red light . The cold and lonely abandoned courtyard seemed creepy under the lighting .
Squeak!
A muffled sound was heard .
Helian Wei Wei looked in the direction of the sound . She then found out that it was not a random mansion . It was where her mother lived right before she passed away .
Then, Helian Wei Wei walked into it in a daze like her body was out of control .
She seemed to be small in stature . She was only the height of the sandalwood table .
What’s going on?
Helian Wei Wei slowly moved forward . Then, a sound emitted from the outside .
She subconsciously went under the desk, thinking that she wanted to play hide and seek with her mother when she got in .

Play hide and seek?
Helian Wei Wei frowned at the idea of having such a childish thought… Wait, something was not right!
It was because she saw Helian Na Yue came in and hastily placed something into the wooden box .
Isn’t that the wooden box that was used to store ancient books?
Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her thick eyebrows .
Helian Na Yue’s lips were pale . However, there were hints of purple and black . This was clearly a sign that she was poisoned .
Helian Wei Wei wanted to stand up and hold Helian Na Yue .
However, she realized that the little body was beyond her control .
She seemed to be pleased that her mother did not realize her existence .
Helian Wei Wei finally understood what was going on . This was not a dream . It was a memory that she lost when she was young .
The wooden door was kicked open as she was being enlightened .
Helian Guang Yao walked inside with a cold expression and said, “I will keep you alive if you hand it out!”
Helian Na Yue was holding onto the sandalwood desk with a single hand . Her body was trembling as if she was enduring immense pain . However, she did not make a single sound as she refused to show any sign of weakness .

Thump!
Helian Na Yue went flying a few meters after being kicked by Helian Guang Yao .
Her head knocked onto the shelf and her forehead started to bleed .
“Are you going to say or not?” Helian Guang Hao stretched out his leg and stepped on the back of her hand forcefully .
Helian Na Yue smiled contemptuously . Her eyes were cold and determined .
Being stared at by such a gaze, Helian Guang Yao breath stifled for a moment . “Why are you staring at me like this? Are you looking down on me? Don’t be naive, the General’s Residence is no longer the same . You are nobody after the old man’s death!” He grabbed Helian Na Yue’s chin and said, “Your gaze is what I hated the most as if everything I own was given by your family . It’s great that the old man is finally dead . I no longer need to be treated as an uxorilocal son-in-law . ”
Helian Na Yue’s face was as cold as the white rose . She laughed and said, “Thus, my father’s great kindness to you turns into hatred . He treated you so well but you are hoping for him to die earlier! Helian Guang Yao, you are not worthy of being a human!”
Thump!
Helian Guang Yao kicked her brutally again .
Helian Na Yue’s face was covered in blood and she fell next to the desk .
Little Helian Wei Wei was hiding there . Her fingers were stiff and her face was full of fear .
Helian Na Yue’s dark pupils tighten as she saw her . Then, she looked back at Helian Guang Yao .
She reached her hands out and dragged the bookshelf forcefully . She was fighting without holding back .

Thump, thump, thump . The books on the shelf fell off one after another . Swoosh, Helian Wei Wei was buried under the books .
Little Helian Wei Wei curled herself up . She wanted to speak but Helian Na Yue stopped her with a glance . She covered her mouth with her hands as tears rolled down her cheeks .
Mother…
“Sister Yue, why are you in such an embarrassing state? You don’t look like the queen of the Capital at all . ”
Who?
Who’s talking?
Helian Wei Wei wanted to look a little closer . However, she was shrouded in darkness and thus she could not see a single thing .
“You have a good looking face even though you are a tomboy . Even the Emperor is constantly thinking of you . Sister Yue, you do have great capabilities . However, it is too bad that you did not know how to be a good wife . Alright, Sister Su, I will pass here for you all to settle . Get rid of her properly . ”
Then, the person left .
Su Yan Mo squatted and started to laugh like a slut . “Do you know why you lost? You were overconfident . You really thought that men will fall in love with an iceberg like you . He was just using you . Am I right, Master?”
“Of course . She’s just like a piece of log . She is incomparable to your ecstasy . ” Helian Guang Yao said and pulled Sun Yan Mo into his arms .
Su Yan Mo’s delicate voice resounded through the atmosphere .
From the beginning till the end, Helian Na Yue was just lying there watching it quietly .
The light in her eyes gradually disappeared just like how the fascinating meteor passed by in the blink of an eye .
Helian Wei Wei knew that Helian Na Yue cried at that moment .
Her lips were as pale as a sheet . She looked at little Helian Wei Wei and mouthed her words .
She told Wei Wei to stay alive . You must stay alive .
As if she could feel her mother, Helian Wei Wei bit her hand . She bit her hand mercilessly as if it was the only way to keep the hatred in her mind .
“Wait, Master! She seems to be dead!” Su Yan Mo who was still pretending to lie under Helian Guang Yao shouted as she saw Helian Na Yue stopped moving .
Helian Guang Yao quickly put on his belt . He was anxious and terrified . “Even though the Old Master Helian was dead, the Helian family’s death knights are still here . They will risk their lives to fight against me if they know that I have murdered Helian Na Yue . At that time, what should I say? Damn, how can she die just like this?”
“Master . ” Su Yan Mo held Helian Guang Yao’s hands and said softly, “It’s better that she died . In this way, the Helian family will truly belong to us . ”
“But, the Retired Emperor will surely make an inquiry . I’m done if the person sent by the Retired Emperor found out that I was the one who killed her . ”
Hearing this, Su Yan Mo smiled evilly . “That’s easy . We have the final say on how she died . Since she has not recovered from her previous injury and it has dragged on for such a long time, it is totally possible for her to die due to her long-term illness . As long as we publicize it, it can certainly cover up her death . ”
“Long-term illness?” Helian Guang Yao frowned and said, “This woman has always been competitive . She always pulls through an injury . I’m afraid that no one will believe in such a statement . ”
