457: Father and daughter turn against each other, Jiang Biehe panics

This scene frightened Madam Liu so much that she trembled and no longer dared to curse.

She was now feeling some regret, regretting why she hadn't just killed Jiang Yuyan back then. If she had, none of this would have happened.

"You... are you really Palace Mistress Yaoyue?" Madam Liu asked nervously, looking at Moon Invitation.

"What? In the Great Ming, who else would dare impersonate This Palace Mistress?" Moon Invitation said coldly.

"No, no, no, Palace Mistress, it's a misunderstanding."

"Is there some misunderstanding between us? We've never had any conflict with Yihua Palace, have we?" Madam Liu's face was pale, and she trembled all over from the pain.

"No conflict? Then what is this?" Moon Invitation took out the liu ren divine dice and looked at Madam Liu with a mocking expression.

Looking at the object in Moon Invitation's hand, Madam Liu was filled with confusion. What was this thing? It looked like a dice, but what use was such a large dice?

"Um, Palace Mistress, what is this thing?" Madam Liu asked awkwardly, looking at Moon Invitation.

"The liu ren divine dice, a treasure lost by my Yihua Palace."

"This Palace Mistress issued a reward long ago: anyone who obtains this item and returns it to Yihua Palace will be heavily rewarded."

"However, anyone who keeps it for themselves is an enemy of Yihua Palace."

"Do you understand now? This item was found in a hidden compartment in Jiang The Crane Diverter's private study." Moon Invitation said coldly.

At this, Madam Liu finally understood why Moon Invitation had appeared here.

So it was that bastard Jiang The Crane Diverter who took someone else's treasure. No wonder they came knocking.

"Grand Palace Mistress, this was all Jiang The Crane Diverter's doing. I had no idea at all. This matter has nothing to do with me."

"Please, Grand Palace Mistress, for the sake of my godfather, spare my life." Madam Liu anxiously begged Moon Invitation for mercy.

"This Palace Mistress has no intention of killing you. Whether you are spared is up to her." Moon Invitation shrugged.

Hearing Moon Invitation say this, Jiang Yuyan could wait no longer. In one swift motion, she plunged a dagger into Madam Liu's heart.

Before Madam Liu could react, she felt a piercing pain in her chest and looked at Jiang Yuyan with an expression of utter disbelief.

"You should have expected this day when you planned to sell me to a Brothel and tormented me daily."

"I, Jiang Yuyan, never offended you. I just wanted a home. I didn't even care about the family fortune or anything."

"But you, this venomous woman, even sought to deprive me of the most basic survival. You deserve to die." Jiang Yuyan glared at Madam Liu with gritted teeth.

"You... how dare you..."

After saying this, Madam Liu collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Jiang Yuyan turned and knelt before Moon Invitation, kowtowing three times with a thud-thud-thud.

"Jiang Yuyan thanks the Grand Palace Mistress for allowing me to successfully take my revenge. From now on, my life belongs to the Grand Palace Mistress."

"Rise. The main culprit hasn't been dealt with yet. What This Palace Mistress promised you will naturally be done." Moon Invitation said coldly.

Although Jiang Yuyan's situation was just as Duan Zhengchun had described, Moon Invitation still didn't regard an ordinary person like her highly.

Jiang The Crane Diverter was currently at his outside residence, frolicking with his concubine, when a sudden, urgent knocking sounded at the door.

This annoyed Jiang The Crane Diverter immensely. Being disturbed at a critical moment would put any man in a bad mood.

"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!" The Steward anxiously knocked on the door from outside.

Jiang The Crane Diverter's face darkened as he put on his clothes and opened the door, his expression one of clear displeasure.

"What's all this knocking? Didn't I say not to disturb me unless it's important?" Jiang The Crane Diverter said with a black look.

"Master, a major incident! Someone has come to the residence causing trouble." The Steward said urgently.

"Hmm? Someone causing trouble at our door? Who? Who dares to come to my Jiang Residence to cause trouble?" Jiang The Crane Diverter frowned, looking displeased at the Steward.

"It's unclear. A man and a woman, and..."

"And what? Speak quickly..." Jiang The Crane Diverter urged with a frown.

"And... Young Miss Yuyan is with them. They went to your study." The Steward said cautiously.

"What? They went to the study? Damn it, that ungrateful wretch! I took her in out of kindness, let her stay in the residence, and she actually turns against me? Today, I'll kill this rebellious daughter!" Jiang The Crane Diverter roared in anger.

His private study contained his hidden treasures. If they were taken, his losses would be huge.

Moreover, inside was the liu ren divine dice, an object coveted by everyone in the Jianghu, which he had obtained only after scheming to wipe out the entire Tu Family years ago.

If someone took it, it would be a devastating loss.

Without wasting another word, Jiang The Crane Diverter quickly left the outside residence and hurried home.

However, if Jiang The Crane Diverter knew the one causing trouble at his door was Moon Invitation, he probably wouldn't be rushing home in a panic, but rather fleeing for his life.

But, with Duan Zhengchun present, even if he wanted to run, he couldn't escape.

"Jiang Yuyan, you ungrateful, rebellious wretch! You're just as clueless and ungrateful as your whore of a mother!"

"If I had known you'd dare to bite the hand that feeds you, I should have killed you back then!" The moment Jiang The Crane Diverter arrived home, he couldn't help but rage and curse.

He rushed to the vicinity of his study at top speed. However, when he saw the scene before him, he froze completely.

The air was thick with the strong smell of blood. Stains were everywhere, and his shrew of a wife lay in a pool of blood on the ground.

Beside her stood three people. One of them was indeed his daughter, Jiang Yuyan.

Next to Jiang Yuyan stood two other figures: a man of unparalleled handsomeness and a woman who could be called a Fairy descended to earth.

When he clearly saw the woman's face, Jiang The Crane Diverter's heart skipped a beat.

Others might not recognize Palace Mistress Yaoyue, but he certainly did.

But he couldn't understand how his daughter had gotten involved with Moon Invitation.

Thinking of the liu ren divine dice in his possession, Jiang The Crane Diverter felt uneasy, hoping desperately that Moon Invitation hadn't come for the dice.

"Wife... you... Yuyan, what on earth is going on?" Jiang The Crane Diverter glared furiously at Jiang Yuyan.

"I killed her..." Jiang Yuyan stated directly.

"Rebellious wretch! You dared to lay hands on your stepmother? You've gone too far! Today, I'll teach you, this unfilial daughter, a proper lesson!" As he spoke, Jiang The Crane Diverter moved to attack.

Although Jiang Yuyan hated her father, facing him still made her somewhat afraid. She immediately hid behind Moon Invitation.

Seeing Jiang Yuyan's action, Jiang The Crane Diverter stopped his movement, his face darkening as he looked at Moon Invitation.

"Palace Mistress Yaoyue, shouldn't you give Jiang a certain explanation?"

"I, Jiang The Crane Diverter, have never offended Yihua Palace, have I? Why kill my wife?"

Moon Invitation looked at Jiang The Crane Diverter with a mocking expression. This guy really knew how to put on an act.

Even at this point, he still wanted to bluff his way through.

"Oh? Are you sure you haven't offended This Palace Mistress?"

"Moon Invitation, what do you mean by that? I, Jiang The Crane Diverter, and Yihua Palace have always kept to our own sides of the river. Yet now you break into my home, kill my wife and the residence guards."

"Isn't such behavior a bit too overbearing? Do you really think I, Jiang The Crane Diverter, am easy to bully?" Jiang The Crane Diverter said angrily.

"Overbearing? What can you do even if This Palace Mistress is overbearing?"

"Jiang The Crane Diverter, This Palace Mistress has already come to your door. How long do you intend to keep up this pretense?"

"You don't really think This Palace Mistress would come here without concrete information, do you?" Moon Invitation looked at Jiang The Crane Diverter with a mocking expression.

"Moon Invitation, you go too far! Breaking into my home for no reason, killing my wife and guards."
