Upon hearing the butler's personal admission, the subordinates burning paper were stunned on the spot. They still couldn't believe it; the butler, who usually treated his subordinates kindly, could commit such a heinous act as killing his benefactor!
Just as Han Lengyue said, the butler often said, "The master has treated me with grace as mountainous as his. I would risk my life to serve Miss and venture into life and death."
In the past, everyone who heard these words would be moved by the butler's loyalty and righteousness. But now, as the same words echoed, all they could feel was a poignant sarcasm.
"I need an explanation," Han Lengyue stared directly into the butler's eyes, completely unaware of the horrendous smile shown by the man beside her under the dimming firelight. It looked extremely eerie.
The next moment, the man abruptly fished out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed it towards the butler without hesitation.
