She had no way out.

She could only gamble on whether Xue would be moved by her "unyielding" spirit, which would give her a chance to turn the tide and survive!

"No! Yuzhu, I believe you, I believe you! Let's talk this out..."

Madam Xue exclaimed in surprise, stamping her foot in alarm and shouting, "What are you all standing there for? Stop them!"

The maids and nannies in the room rushed forward, some hugging her arms, others her waist, and finally managed to snatch the dagger from Yin Yuzhu's hand.

Madam Xue, clutching her pounding heart, took Yin Yuzhu from her and said with heartache,

"You're too strong-willed! What if something happens to you? How am I supposed to explain this to your parents?"

"lady……"

Yin Yuzhu nestled in her arms and began to sob.

In a flash, a ferocious glint appeared in her tear-filled eyes as she glared fiercely at Yin Liuli.

You wretch! Even the Xue family believes me, what can you do to me?

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Slap slap slap"

Gu Jinyan clapped his hands, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Brilliant! I almost believed it!"

"Yan'er!"

Madam Xue gave him a reproachful look, and helplessly tried to reconcile them.

"She'd rather die than give up her innocence, why don't you believe her?"

What if someone dies?

"I'm here to take her life."

A cold smile flashed in Yin Liuli's clear eyes as she looked around.

Gu Jinyan followed her gaze and asked curiously,

"Liuli, what are you looking for?"

Yin Liuli said casually, "Find something handy and take her life."

Killing someone like Yin Yuzhu with a single talisman would be too lenient for her!

Her talismans are very expensive!

The dagger was snatched away by the maid. Xue's room was filled with nothing but useless vases, tables, chairs, and benches, none of which were handy.

Gu Jinyan's deep eyes shone brightly.

"I have some, is this okay?"

He reached up and drew a gleaming golden whip from his waist, handing it to Yin Liuli with a smile, "Do you know how to use it? If not, I'll teach you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Liuli had already taken the whip and casually flicked it in the air.

"Snap"

The soft whip drew a beautiful arc in front of everyone, and the sharp sound of it cutting through the air vibrated their eardrums.

"not bad."

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow at Gu Jinyan. "Thank you!"

A doting smile appeared on Gu Jinyan's lips.

This is his weapon for self-defense, which he usually hides in his waistband.

This object is made of black iron mixed with gold, repeatedly forged into steel wires as thin as hair. It feels exceptionally flexible to the touch, yet it is sharper than a blade when wielded.

Even "cutting iron like mud" cannot describe it.

Madam Xue looked at Yin Liuli in horror and said in a trembling voice,

"Miss Liuli, what are you doing?"

Yin Liuli channeled her true energy into the soft whip, and in an instant, the limp whip seemed to come alive, emitting a faint light that pointed towards Yin Yuzhu's face.

She gave a curt humph. "Madam, please step aside."

Yin Yuzhu's expression changed drastically. She gripped Xue Shi's sleeve tightly and hid most of her body behind her.

"My elder sister is going to kill me... Madam, save me!"

"No, no, Liuli, you're sisters after all. Can't you talk things out calmly?"

Madam Xue wanted to protect Yin Yuzhu, but seeing Yin Liuli's cold expression, she hesitated and could only retreat hastily.

Yin Liuli sneered coldly, "Peace won't be achieved until she's dead!"

"Snap"

A crisp sound.

She wielded her soft whip like a snake, nimbly gliding past Xue Shi before landing heavily on Yin Yuzhu's neck.

"what!"

She screamed as Yin Liuli yanked her out from behind Xue Shi and threw her out the door.

With a loud bang, Yin Yuzhu fell heavily to the ground.

Yin Liuli's lithe figure followed.

Wow, Madam!

This move, "The Serpent Emerges from Its Cave," completely captivated Gu Jinyan, his obsidian-like eyes sparkling!

He learned the soft whip from the imperial guards since he was a child, and after more than ten years of hard training, he believed that no one could match his whip skills. He never expected that Yin Liuli would wield it like a toy as soon as she got her hands on it!

Yin Liuli lashed out with her soft whip, throwing Yin Yuzhu to the ground, and then raised the whip again for another fierce lash.

"ah!……"

Yin Yuzhu screamed and howled in pain as she was beaten, rolling on the ground clutching her head, crying, "Help! Madam, help me..."

Madam Xue was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She chased after him, wanting to stop him, but she didn't dare to.

Yin Liuli saw through her intention, and only glanced at her.

"Anyone who dares to step forward will face the consequences!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and lashed out at Yin Yuzhu twice more with the whip.

"Clap clap clap..."

With a few lashes, gruesome wounds opened up on her body like a child's mouth, blood gushing out, a horrifying sight.

Yin Yuzhu went from rolling around on the ground to lying on the ground unable to move, with only her chest rising and falling slightly.

His entire body was covered in blood, as if he had fallen into a dye vat; it was a shocking sight.

"Liuli, you...you're really going to kill her!"

Xue's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Liuli, just keep hitting."

A cold arrogance flashed across Gu Jinyan's handsome face. He crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow with disdain, and said, "If you kill me, I'll cover for you."

Upon hearing this, even Madam Xue dared not utter another word.

The entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

All that remained were the crisp sound of whipping and Yin Yuzhu's intermittent screams.

The excruciating pain exploded within her body, causing Yin Yuzhu to faint several times only to be jolted awake by the pain. She struggled to crawl on the ground with her hands covered in blood.

"Smack..."

Yin Liuli pulled those hands away, leaving two glaring, bloody gashes.

"what!"

Yin Yuzhu's eyes rolled back in pain, and only her last breath lingered in her throat.

"I can't die... I can't!"

She can't die!

She is not reconciled!

She has not yet married into the Duke's mansion, become the Duchess, and joined the incomparably noble royal family!

Even greater riches and honors awaited her, and a bright future beckoned to her...

Yin Liuli, you bitch!

I'll haunt you even if I become a ghost!

"Huff huff..."

Suddenly, a cold wind swept through the courtyard, carrying sand and stones, causing people to stagger and unable to open their eyes.

Countless whirlwinds rose from the ground and rushed towards Yin Liuli at an extremely fast speed.

No one could tell that these whirlwinds were actually dense streams of Yin energy.

In Yin Liuli's eyes, countless sinister and hideous ghost faces were hidden within these whirlwinds...

"Wow!"

She tapped her ear and shouted sharply, "Form the formation!"

A series of "whoosh" sounds flew from her ears as she held the long sword horizontally in front of her chest.

"Wow...what an amazing magic circle!"

"Liuli!"

Gu Jinyan's expression changed, and he rushed towards Yin Liuli despite the strong wind, "Be careful..."

He couldn't see the vengeful ghost or the wailing sounds, but he knew that the eerie wind was very strange, so he immediately stepped forward to protect Yin Liuli.

Before he could finish speaking, a whirlwind transformed into a hideous ghost and lunged at his face.
