Splendid Twins

At this moment, Zhou Wan was also shaken by the loud noises. After she reacted, she suppressed the joy in her heart!

"I want to go for a walk, you guys leave."

The three maids waiting in the house looked at each other in bewilderment. It was raining so hard outside...

"You guys go down, I'm here with the queen."

The maid from Prince Li's mansion came in through the door, her face indifferent but her tone unquestionable!

When there were only two people left in the room, Zhou Wan quickly stood up and said anxiously:

"Mammy, let's go."

"My lady, do you really want to...but have you thought it through?"

The old lady was not trying to stop him, but was testing him to see if Zhou Wan had any regrets. This was also what the Imperial Concubine meant...

"Give me!"

Zhou Wan spoke without hesitation, with a resolute attitude, without a trace of hesitation.

The nanny raised the corners of her mouth slightly. If you look closely, you can catch a glimpse of sarcasm in her eyes!

However, Zhou Wan's mind was not on this, her eyes were only fixed on the thing in her hands.

There were a few letters wrapped in oil paper, and His Highness told her to put them in her father's study!

If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, not to mention that it was his father who first disregarded blood ties!

This letter might be used by His Highness to restrain his father, or it might be evidence to overthrow the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. But no matter which one it is, it is the retribution that the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion deserves!

They owed her this!

After dealing with the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion, she will then deal with Si Yao who has usurped the throne!

They didn't meet anyone along the way, thanks to the heavy rain. The servants in the mansion took shelter from the rain in the house, and her mother was called away by the old woman, which gave her a good opportunity.

Even God is helping her!

Walking through the corridor, turning around the pavilion, and arriving at the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's study, Zhou Wan looked around and just as she put her hand on the door,

"call out!"

A dagger shot out like lightning, its sharp edge drawing a cold trajectory in the air, and with a trembling sound, it brushed past her fingertips and got nailed to the door frame!

Zhou Wan and the nanny's faces suddenly changed, their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, and they both took a few steps back.

"who!"

"Who? Come out to me!"

After a while, there was no movement. Seeing this, the nanny reached out and grabbed Zhou Wan, lowering her voice and saying:

"Don't worry, ma'am. We've brought people with us."

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in black appeared behind her, looking into the distance with sharp eyes. As if he had noticed something, he gathered his energy and jumped onto the roof!

Zhou Wan was stunned, then spoke:

"Who is he?"

Nanny: "They are the prince's men, specially assigned to protect your safety... Please go in first."

Zhou Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "Wait at the door."

"Yes."

Pushing the door open, the room was a little dim, but it did not affect her ability to see the interior clearly. A row of tall bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, from classics to poetry and songs, all of which were available.

In the middle was a set of rosewood table and chairs, with soft rice paper spread on the table, and a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. It was obvious that the Duke of Zhenguo often painted here.

There are several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, with the fragrance of ink and smooth brushstrokes. Each one reveals a profound cultural heritage and artistic value.

There were also some ceramic vessels and jade ornaments placed in various corners. One of them was a jade Qilin, which she had bought with all her own money in order to please the Duke of Zhenguo.

Looking back now, all her efforts at fawning and trying to please others were simply ridiculous!

Just as she was about to put the letter in a book, she suddenly heard a muffled groan behind her!

He turned around suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he was speechless, and the letter fell to the ground.

Nanny!

Mammy... Her throat was stabbed by a sword, and blood gushed out of her neck!

"Oh!"

What is falling straight down from the eaves?

Looking closely, I saw the man in black clothes was the one from before!

"Who, who?"

Zhou Wan's heart was in her throat. Such a horrifying scene made her face turn pale. She walked forward cautiously.

At the door, there were two people lying without a breath!

The dripping sound of rain covered up everything else. There was a strong smell of blood in the air. The occasional raindrops that drifted in seemed as sticky as blood, making people feel nauseous.

"Oh, Concubine is really brave, wait for your explanation to the Duke!"

A hoarse and cold male voice sounded from behind Zhou Wan. Before she could turn around, she was knocked unconscious by the man.

"Guard the study!"

"Yes!"

The man picked up Zhou Wan and walked directly into the rain, completely disregarding her identity.

As soon as he left, another person came out of the study room, holding the letter dropped by Zhou Wan. He blatantly opened it and couldn't help but sneered at the contents:

"idiot!"

He dragged the two corpses at the door away one in each hand. With such little ability, he dared to break into their Duke's study!

Inside Songhe Hall, the second wife cried and hugged Zhou Zhao, saying repeatedly:

"Tell me, where are you hurt?"

"Does it hurt?"

"Why are you all wet?"

Zhou Zhao held his mother's hand a little harder. It was not good for his mother's love to be too heavy. He felt embarrassed in public.

"I'm fine. I still have to go out. I just want to tell everyone not to move around."

The old lady was pleased with her grandson's understanding, but also worried that he might get hurt. She said with a worried look on her face:

"Zhao'er, change your clothes first to avoid moisture entering your body."

"Yes, yes, come on, I'll take you there."

Zhou Ying stood up and prepared to pull him, but Zhou Zhao refused:

"No, it will be wet again in a while."

There happened to be ginger tea on the table, so he picked it up and took two sips.

Just as he was walking out, his eyes paused, and his whole body tensed up instantly, like a bowstring that was pulled to full force. Someone came in!

As the footsteps approached, his gaze fell on the figure in front of him, his eyes widened.

Zhou Wan, who was soaked all over, was thrown on the ground like a rag doll, and the man's body smelled of blood.

"Wanwan!"

"This……"

"Who are you?"

The man stood at the door behind the curtain, his voice very hoarse:

"She teamed up with outsiders to murder the Duke's Mansion. I am following your orders. Don't worry, the outsiders have been eliminated!"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady looked at Wei first. Seeing that she lowered her head and could not see the expression on her face, she suppressed her anger and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll wait for the Duke to come back and reward you!"

The man did not leave. Instead, he turned around and stood at the door of Songhe Hall, like a gate god, letting the rain drip on his body.

The foreign thieves were dealt with by him. Except for Zhou Wan herself, all the others she brought died outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion. There was chaos outside and no one knew how they died!

As for the traitor within, the Duke has instructed them to deal with it themselves!

When the Duke's wife saw her daughter in such a state of disgrace, she gritted her teeth and rushed over to hug her, glaring at the maid next to her:

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you help me?"

Zhou Wan was placed on the couch with her eyes closed and her face pale. The Duke's wife was so frightened that she was at a loss for a moment and tears instantly flowed out.
