Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 217 - Disappearing Into Thin Air

Chapter 217: Disappearing Into Thin Air

As night fell, snow started to fall again. The cold air still enveloped the entire Lin Jiang Mansion.

There were very few people on the streets. A young lady carrying a bag looked around the alley before walking out hurriedly.

Just as she thought she could escape, a black-robed figure blocked her path.

“Who… who are you?”

Xianger stepped back and looked at the man in black in horror.

“I’m here on Second Aunt’s orders to get rid of you, you little b.i.t.c.h.”

The man in black looked up and replied with a sneer.

“Butler!”

Xianger’s eyes widened. She only knew that Nanny Zhu was one of Second Aunt’s people, but she didn’t expect Butler Dongfang to be as well.

She took a few steps back in fear, trying to escape.

Butler Dongfang pulled her back and hugged her waist. He said maliciously, “If you can please me, maybe I can spare your life.”

Xianger s.h.i.+vered in fear and pushed him away. “Don’t touch me!”

Butler Dongfang was already fifty years old. The wrinkles on his face could be seen everywhere.

Moreover, his youngest child was several years older than her.

Just the thought of him hugging her just now made Xianger feel as if she was being held by a venomous snake. Her entire body felt weird all over.

“Xianger, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”

Butler Dongfang snorted unhappily. “It’s your choice whether you want to be my concubine or die.”

Xianger’s hands tightened on the bag on her shoulders and her lips pursed tightly.

She was indeed afraid of death. It was precisely because she was afraid of death that she had betrayed Dongfang Yuechu and agreed to become Second Aunt’s lackey.

However, she cherished her life because she still had a future to look forward to.

However, if she were to become a concubine to Butler Dongfang, what difference was there from death?

Butler Dongfang’s wife was famous for being shrewish. How could she still live after falling into her hands?

“It seems like you’ve made your choice.”

Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Butler Dongfang sneered.

He was drooling over Xianger’s figure and beauty. He originally wanted to trick her into having fun with him for a few days before getting rid of her.

Unexpectedly, she would rather die than agree to his request.

When Xianger saw him approaching, she immediately turned around and sprinted forward.

Butler Dongfang drew his sword and chased after her.

Xianger hurriedly ran into an alley. When Butler Dongfang saw her, he could not help but sneer and call her an idiot.

How was running into an alley any different from courting death?

However, when he chased the entire alley to the end, he did not see Xianger.

His eyes widened. He immediately flew up the wall and looked around, but there was no one in sight.

How could a person disappear into thin air?

“Could she have been rescued?”

Butler Dongfang narrowed his eyes.

The distance between him and Xianger was not far at all. If someone nearby had saved her, it would not have happened so quickly.

At this time, most people had already closed their doors and turned off their lights. Xianger needed to knock on a door in order to request to be saved.

By then, he would probably have already caught up with her.

Since it wasn’t someone nearby who saved her, there were only two possibilities.

Firstly, Xianger knew qinggong and had jumped off the wall to leave. Secondly, she was rescued by someone else.

Xianger had entered Dongfang Mansion since she was six years old, and she accompanied Dongfang Yuechu every day. She had no chance to learn martial arts.

Then, there was only the second possibility.

Who saved her?

Butler Dongfang gritted his teeth and unwillingly chased back to the streets. However, there was already no one there.

He chased for a while, but when he saw that he could no longer catch up, he returned to the original alley. However, he still did not see Xianger.

He really had no choice but to leave angrily and prepare to report to Second Aunt.
