Chapter 1404: Chapter 1401: Wei Family Siblings, Difficult Situation (First Update)

The young man’s face, once considered handsome, now appeared utterly foolish due to the silly grin plastered across it.

The saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth only made him seem even more childish and laughable.

At this moment, the young man was mumbling something incomprehensibly.

"Sis... Sis, will there be something tasty when we arrive?"

Seeing this scene, a trace of sorrow flashed across the woman’s face before she stepped forward, pulling out a clean handkerchief to gently wipe away the saliva from the young man’s mouth.

"Yes, young master, there will be lots and lots of delicious things once we get there!"

"Hehe, that’s... that’s great!" The young man clapped his hands in delight, though he could never quite manage to bring them together, instead leaving his arms red from his enthusiastic slapping.

A maid standing nearby witnessed this and wore a peculiar expression before slightly bowing her head.

The woman patiently held the young man’s wrist, speaking softly, "Young master, be good now, no more playing around, okay? When we get there, we’ll eat something yummy!"

"Mhm, mhm!" The young man nodded vigorously, his crystalline eyes, devoid of any impurity, brimming with joy.

The woman continued to console him with a few more gentle words, then stood up, her expression full of tenderness and pity.

But the instant she turned around, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling killing intent.

"Come here," the woman said lightly to the maid beside her and then began walking out.

The maid’s entire body quivered, but she dared not disobey, meekly following the woman out of the cabin room.

The moment the door closed, the woman suddenly raised her hand and dealt a resounding slap, sending the maid flying a great distance.

Thump!

The maid crashed to the ground, her face grotesquely disfigured from the sheer force of the blow, making her look ominously strange.

Yet even in this state, the maid dared not resist in the slightest and could only shiver uncontrollably while gazing at the woman who was slowly approaching, her voice hoarse as she cried, "Miss, please spare me! Miss, please spare me!"

The woman stopped in front of her, staring coldly down at her.

"Do you realize where you went wrong?"

The maid scrambled up from the ground, kneeling at the woman’s feet, her body trembling like a leaf in the wind.

"Your expression just now... were you thinking that Cang’er is a fool and secretly looking down on him?" The woman asked icily.

"Miss, I was wrong! I beg Miss to spare my life!" The maid banged her head on the ground repeatedly, the force so great it cracked the wooden floorboards of the Ghost Carriage, a clear testament to her extreme terror.

"Spare your life? Heh..." The woman’s lips curled into a cruel smile as she slowly bent down to whisper into the maid’s ear.

"Don’t think I don’t know who you’re working for. Since my third brother, Wei Yuhua, dared to place you here, you should’ve prepared yourself for the worst, don’t you think?"

These words landed like a curse, causing the maid to freeze instantly, her face overtaken by boundless terror and despair.

"Miss, I..."

The woman waved her hand dismissively and straightened her posture, speaking coolly, "Don’t bother begging for mercy; you know it’s useless. From the moment you made your decision, you should have understood that!"

Looking at the maid’s pale face, drained of blood from overwhelming fear, the woman added, "Frankly, if you were just a planted spy, I wouldn’t even bother with you. But you dared to show disrespect to Cang’er! No matter what, he is rightfully Wei Family’s eldest young master!"

At this, the woman placed her foot on the maid’s head, her face flushing unnaturally, "No matter how unwilling Wei Yuhua or the others may be, they will never surpass Cang’er! Because Cang’er is the true Legitimate Branch prodigy! He is someone you lowly insects could never hope to reach! And yet, you dare to disrespect him? Hm?"

As she said this, the woman twisted her foot with force.

With a sickening crunch of bones shattering, the maid writhed in agony until a dull thud rang out.

The maid’s body slowly went slack, her limbs convulsing involuntarily as the last traces of life left her.

Pulling her bloodied foot out of the maid’s shattered skull, the woman’s face remained tinged with residual anger.

Blood silently pooled from beneath the maid’s lifeless body, its heavy metallic scent filling the air as specks of black light began to drift from the corpse.

The woman raised a hand to tidy her loose hair, tying it into a ponytail at the back of her head before speaking calmly, "Nail her Ghost Race body to the punishment post. I want every servant to see the fate of those who dare to disrespect my brother!"

From the corridor’s shadows emerged an elderly man with snow-white hair. He bowed slightly to the woman, "Yes, Miss!"

With that, he stepped forward to seize the maid’s lingering shadowy soul, turning to leave.

The maid’s anguished wails echoed piercingly. The woman furrowed her brows.

Without hesitation, the elder clenched his hand tightly. With a sharp crack, the maid’s throat was crushed, and her cries fell silent instantly.

Even so, everyone aboard the Ghost Carriage had already heard her scream. A shudder rippled through the servants, terror flashing in their eyes.

Meanwhile, someone swiftly cleaned up the blood staining the corridor floor, restoring everything to normalcy within moments.

If not for the faint trace of blood still lingering in the air, no one would’ve suspected anything had just occurred there.

The woman didn’t return to the cabin but stood by the corridor window, gazing at the rushing scenery outside the Ghost Carriage.

Under the rapid interplay of shifting light and shadow, her face became indistinct, like an overexposed film negative, an illusory beauty.

The faint glimmer that danced in her almond-shaped eyes made her expression impossible to decipher—was it sorrow or joy?

It wasn’t until a long time later that the woman breathed out a faint sigh.

With that sigh, a trace of desolation and weariness appeared on her otherwise cold and stunningly beautiful face.

She was indeed too tired.

As the eldest daughter of the Wei Family, Wei Qingxiao had always been known for her ruthless tactics and unyielding temperament.

What had transpired today—the bloodshed and merciless brutality—was enough to make anyone’s blood run cold.

But only she knew that if she didn’t act this way, the ones to die would have been her and her brother.

All of this was because Wei Qingxiao’s younger brother, Wei Haocang, was a complete fool.

That wasn’t the critical issue. The crux of the matter was that Wei Haocang was the firstborn son of the legitimate wife.

This identity alone, within the Wei Family, revered as the foremost household of the Ghost Realm, was enough to stir envy.

But if that person turned out to be a fool, the situation became entirely different.

No one would willingly bow to a fool, and so, despite Wei Qingxiao’s unrelenting efforts to keep the situation under control, many were still eager to plot against them.
