This woman is saying one thing and meaning another.

It wasn't that she truly disliked the Marquis; rather, it was that she loved him but couldn't have him.

Then, Su Yu had a new idea:

"Let's try a different strategy."

"Your Excellency, Marchioness..."

"How about I let the Marquis go with you to the faraway East, to a place he can never return to?

Upon hearing this suggestion, the Marquise's eyes visibly lit up.

She nodded: "Can you do it?"

Su Yu sighed and deliberately said, "It's very difficult."

The Marquis quickly replied, "If you can do that, all you need to do is leave me two boxes of soul eyeballs and a sack of ghost money! The rest is all yours."

It really is a case of unrequited love!

A woman who loves but cannot be loved in return, and whose love turns to hatred, is terrifying!

Su Yu looked at this pathetic guy and felt helpless.

"Then let's draw up a contract and make this deal."

Why didn't Su Yu choose to storm into the Marquis's mansion, tie everyone up, and order them to hand over all their gold, silver, and valuables?

This was, of course, to avoid a direct confrontation with the Black Knights patrol.

Moreover, if a mere, unfavored marquises has such a large security force behind her, one can only imagine how much more powerful the marquis, with his distinguished military achievements, must be.

Presumably, the Black Knight patrol would have taken Su Yu away in handcuffs the moment she stepped into the Marquis's mansion.

At that time, the situation will be very unfavorable to her survival and development.

……

……

What followed went much more smoothly than Su Yu had imagined.

First, the Marquis and his childhood sweetheart returned around noon that day, allowing Su Yu to begin her mission as soon as possible.

In those few short hours, Su Yu put on the bandit's mask and imitated the Marquis's demeanor, movements, and various catchphrases, learning them almost perfectly.

Even the Marquis's maids could no longer distinguish between the two.

"So, next up is to enter the Marquis's mansion and engage in a battle of wits with the scheming, manipulative woman and the domineering Marquis..."

129. Would the Demon King be so free?

The Marquis's mansion is located near the west coast of the Hanging Harbor, and is also a very prominent landmark.

The spacious seaside villa, complete with rows of beautiful maids, is clearly a stunning sight.

Whether in this world or the real world, beautiful women and mansions always attract attention.

Every passerby who passed by the Marquis's mansion would cast envious glances and speculate about the kind of nobleman whose mansion belonged, how many adorable children they had, and how many chests of gold and silver jewelry they possessed...

However, in reality, most of the nobles living here harbored ulterior motives and were not living a satisfactory life.

The marquis, at a young age, went on a world tour (only the Western world, of course), leaving behind his beautiful wife and mansion to pursue so-called poetry and distant places.

To get revenge on her despicable husband, the Marquise went out and had an affair.

The two of them are practically in a divorced state.

However, it was precisely at this moment that the Marquise began to realize that she still loved her husband.

If their story were written into a romance novel and started with it, whether it's a "chasing-after-wife" or "chasing-after-husband" scenario... it would probably be met with a barrage of criticism from readers.

Of course, if their story were written into a suspense novel, that would be a different story.

At this very moment, Su Yu, who is playing the role of the Marquis's wife, is sitting on the second-floor balcony, looking at the situation in the garden below.

To her surprise, the Marquis was not the tall, imposing Western man she had imagined.

On the contrary, the Marquis was less than 1.7 meters tall and had a slender figure, especially his waist, which was as thin as a girl's... Come to think of it, this is what a girl looks like!

This really surprised Su Yu. She never expected that the philandering husband whom the Marquis had complained about eight hundred times would be a girl.

Perhaps noticing the gaze from upstairs, the Marquis looked up and glanced at where Su Yu was sitting.

Su Yu decisively pushed her chair back, leaning herself backward.

Unnecessary eye contact was successfully avoided.

The Marquis snorted: "Trying to get my attention again..."

But for her, it was completely useless.

No matter what this cheap wife wants to do, I must divorce her.

As Su Yu held a book, pondering her next move, the butler came to inform her that she should go downstairs to have afternoon tea with the Marquis.

So, Su Yu put down the book she was holding.

"coming."

In short, whatever strategy is used, we must first make contact with the Marquis.

As Su Yu went downstairs, several plans flashed through her mind...

The first plan is to find some excuse after dinner to lure the Marquis to the south-facing balcony on the second floor, then pour her a glass of black tequila that has a sedative effect and knock her out.

Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, they sent her directly onto the ghost train.

After all, the Marquise already had a ticket for the Ghost Train that she had saved up.

Su Yu reluctantly decided to give her copy to the Marquis.

Of course, to prevent the Marquis from jumping out of the car, Su Yu would also give the Marquis's wife enough black tequila to keep him awake for a day. By the time the Marquis woke up, they would already be in the Eastern world.

There is no doubt how difficult it is to buy tickets for the Ghost Train.

Even if the Marquis were determined to return, it would be several years before he could.

The second plan is that if the Marquis doesn't fall for it, then Su Yu will have no choice but to follow her and strike her with a hammer when she takes a bath or goes to the toilet.

Of course, Su Yu would control her strength, only knocking her unconscious, not killing her.

The third plan was one that Su Yu was very reluctant to use. If she couldn't find an opportunity to take down the Marquis before the Ghost Train departed tonight, she would have no choice but to ask the Ghost King and Ryoko for help.

Such a plan would inevitably provoke a very serious reaction, and such conflict should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

……

Downstairs, in the bathroom.

While changing clothes, the Marquis's childhood sweetheart suddenly felt a cold wind blow past her back.

When she turned around to look, she was struck hard on the back of the neck, her vision went black, and she collapsed.

Ryoko, who was standing behind her, caught her.

"What should I do about this?"

"Just throw it in any trash can."

The Ghost King was standing in front of this person.

To be honest, this childhood sweetheart was really good-looking, gentle and delicate, well-educated and reasonable, and also came from a prominent family. She was a noble lady who was practically flawless.

Even if she enjoys having affairs with other women's husbands, that's her business.

The Ghost King wouldn't care about their chaotic antics.

The only thing that concerned the Ghost King was whether she was blocking Su Yu's path.

“Fox, go and throw her away. I'll take her place.”

As the Ghost King spoke, he transformed into the appearance of his childhood sweetheart and gestured to his breasts in front of the mirror.

"What a pitifully ordinary figure."

Compared to hers, she's far inferior.

Ryoko looked at her vain expression and chuckled twice with an ambiguous tone.

"Well then, see you later."

With that, she picked up the unconscious noblewoman and jumped out of the window.

Miss Ghost King tidied her clothes and headed towards the restaurant.

Su Yu, disguised as a marquis, arrived at the restaurant just then.

The two looked at each other.

Although Su Yu didn't recognize the person in front of her at all, she felt that the other person's eyes were very familiar to her.

Ah, maybe it's just my imagination?

"sit down."

The Marquis put down his coffee cup, moved the nearest chair to him, and let his childhood sweetheart sit down.

Miss Ghost King raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "May I sit with your wife?"

These words made the Marquis frown.

"That's unnecessary..."

The Marquis was mainly afraid that the two of them would fight.

To be more precise, it's because he's afraid his childhood sweetheart will suffer.

After all, his wife was not such a well-educated and refined noblewoman.

"It's alright, I think my sister will be happy to sit with me." Miss Ghost King smiled, walked to Su Yu's side, and sat down gracefully.

Su Yu: "..."

It feels familiar, but it's getting stronger and stronger. What's going on?
