"Just because of a woman?"

Xu Ziyue looked at him in disbelief, "Just because of a woman, you have plunged the entire Xu family into a state of despair?"

Xu Ziqi sneered, with a mixture of mockery and sarcasm in her eyes, but also an unignorable hatred.

"Of course it's more than that. At this point, I might as well tell you the truth. Do you know why Xu Fengxiao let you inherit the family business instead of me, the eldest son? Because I am not a Xu family member,"

Xu Fengxiao, Xu Ziyue's father, was the richest man in the city and was in charge of one of the most important industries of the imperial merchants, the salt merchant.

Xu Ziyue's eyes turned red and he stared at Xu Ziqi. His voice was a little shaky. At this moment, he couldn't feel the pain in his body and gritted his teeth as he narrated.

"Xu Ziqi, you are such a bastard. Even if you are not a biological child, your father treats you very well. Not only did he give you the royal business seal of the Xu family, he also gave you the focus of the Xu family's career. Even though you are not a biological child of the Xu family, my father still did it for you.

I guarantee that you will offend the Fan family. Now tell me that you are not from the Xu family. So, what do the Xu family owe you? Tell me!"

Seeing the hysterical Xu Ziyue, Xu Ziqi not only showed no sign of remorse, she even smiled coquettishly.

"The Xu family doesn't owe me anything, but the Xu family stopped my marriage to Liu Liu."

"I have never liked Fan Liu. If I had known that you liked Fan Liu, I would not have agreed to this marriage at all. What's more, this marriage was originally intended to save you, but you used it to push the entire Xu family into the abyss.

Xu Ziqi, do you still have a conscience?"

Xu Ziqi's eyes were cold and there was no trace of the family affection in the past. "I need your charity? Xu Ziyue, don't struggle in vain. Today, you must die!"

However, at this moment, an arrow flew like lightning and pierced the back of Xu Ziqi's heart without any warning. Before Xu Ziqi could restrain the smile on her face, a mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth.

"There is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly"

The people in black shouted in panic and immediately looked around vigilantly, looking for traces of the assassin.

However, at this time, someone shouted, "The assassin is over there, the rest of you are following me!"

With a crash, a group of people chased to the other side.

Xu Ziyue did not take the opportunity to break out of the siege, but stared blankly at Xu Ziqi who was lying in a pool of blood. He wanted to cut him into pieces when he knew that he was the culprit that caused the death of the Xu family.

However, when he saw him covered in blood and dying, he suddenly felt suffocated, as if his heart had been hollowed out.

"Brother?"

He didn't make a sound, just shouted silently.

As if Xu Ziqi sensed something, she opened her eyes with all her strength and looked in Xu Ziyue's direction with her last breath of strength.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.

He lay helpless and desperate on the ground, raised his hand with difficulty, but in mid-air, his eyes gradually lost focus, slowly closed, and finally lost his breath completely.

Before Xu Ziyue had time to feel sad, he suddenly noticed that the evil wind was not good. He rolled on the spot and avoided the fatal blow, but still received a severe kick on his back.

"Bang--"

He fell heavily to the floor. The violent impact caused all his internal organs to shift. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and his head became dizzy.

The horses neighed, and the ground began to tremble violently. Everyone was puzzled and subconsciously looked outside the house, only to see dozens of horses galloping in.
