The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 117

Deng Yan knew Qingyan was someone with ideas; she looked to Qingyan earnestly nodding, "I'm willing, I'm willing to believe fourth miss."

"Alright, since you're willing to believe..." Qingyan took out a pill, "Then eat this pill, I guarantee you will die tomorrow."

Deng Yan looked to Qingyan, although not understanding why Qingyan was doing this, she still accepted the pill from Qingyan's hand.

"Yiniang, after swallowing this pill, you can no longer be Deng Yan, are you willing to do this?" Qingyan looked to Deng Yan, still with a calm tone.

Deng Yan listened to Qingyan's words and seemed to have understood what Qingyan was thinking. Her method was to use death to help her leave the Su manor, but after this, the person Deng Yan will no longer exist in the world.

"Yiniang, you have to think carefully. Our General's manor can adopt fifth sister and Cong'er, but if you were to overtly move in like this, it'll be unavoidable for others to gossip. But if you were to die, and enter the General's manor with another identity, I can save you.

As she listened to Qingyan, Deng Yan let out a bitter smile. She looked to Qingyan, slowing reaching her hand towards the skin mask on her face, and underneath that mask was a shocking appearance. Qingyan once saw this face before when she was touring Yundian with Weisheng Junmo.

Yundian was a part of Donghe, yet had the appearance of being cut off from the rest of the world. And within the borders of Yundian, exists an ancient village that had a flourishing civilization. It's said that this ancient village has been passed down from a long long time ago.

For generations, the people there believed in Nuwa*. Some say they were from the netherworld, some say they were from the celestial realm, yet they exist outside the realms of the three world*.

(*T/N: Nuwa - creator of humans in Chinese mythology; three worlds - refer to the heaven, mortal, and underworld)

They were precisely the Gu* Clan. It's said that the Gu Clan were completely wiped out by a natural disaster, but their priestess----Muhu Luja had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

(*T/N: The name can mean witchcraft or to bewitch.)

Qingyan never thought that she would once again see this shocking appearance here, and that she would be Su Yan's concubine, Deng Yan.

"You're the Gu Clan priestess Muhu Luja?" Qingyan asked in surprise.

Hearing the words Qingyan said, Deng Yan looked to her and nodded, "I really never thought that fourth miss would even about the Gu Clan Priestess. I thought that in this world, there was no longer anyone that would remember my village."

Qingyan looked to her and patted her shoulder, "Since that's the case, then let's start moving. As for your past, we can slowly talk about it in detail after you move into our General's manor."

Deng Yan nodded, and afterwards, returned to her usual appearance once again. She glanced to Su Qingxue on the side and patted her head, "Xue'er, believe in your fourth sister."

Su Qingxue looked to Deng Yan and nodded in seriousness, "Naturally I believe in fourth sister." She grasped Deng Yan's hand, "Mother, you must properly protect yourself."

"Fifth sister, don't worry. Yiniang will be fine." Qingyan looked to Su Qingxue with a smile.

After glancing at Qingyan, Deng Yan swallowed the pill. Less than a while later, Deng Yan dizzily passed out.

Seeing the passed out Deng Yan, Qingyan went over next to her and tied all the rope back on. Seeing Qingyan's movements, Su Qingxue was utterly confused.

"Fourth sister, what is this for?"

Qingyan turned her head to Su Qingxue and smirked, "This way, it'll look like Yiniang was beaten to death."
