By the time Lu Liangwei and the Dowager Duchess arrived, the woodshed was back to its normal state of cleanliness and the two assassins were gone. There was no trace of the blood that had just spilled all over the floor just moments ago.
"Jiu, did you manage to interrogate anything out of them?" Lu Liangwei glanced toward the woodshed and turned her gaze to Chu Jiu.
Chu Jiu walked out of the woodshed when she spotted Lu Liangwei heading toward her.
Chu Jiu was wearing black, form-fitting clothing. It complemented her long legs, which were straight and slender. Her long dark hair was kept in place at the top of her head with just a wooden hairpin.
She looked cold and distant, yet valiant and deft.
A look of admiration flashed in Lu Liangwei's eyes.
Women in this era were usually graceful and restrained. It was a rare sight to see an androgynous beauty such as Chu Jiu.
