The Regent Princess has run away again
Chapter 48 Found it
"Master, I'm telling you that I just saw that girl from the Xue family. Damn! She actually said that I'm sick!"
As soon as Lu Tingxuan entered the room, he couldn't help but start cursing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. When he wanted to complain a few more words, he saw the man covered in blood on the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
You, who was standing behind Nangong Ye, glanced at him. Although he didn't say anything, that glance was full of speechlessness.
"just?"
Hearing Nangong Ye's question, Lu Tingxuan immediately perked up, walked forward and sat down on the stone pier next to him, "It seems that the girl came out of the shop that has been empty for a long time, but I remember that shop was the treasured land of the old man Yumutang. He refused to let it go even if someone offered a high price. How come it is in the hands of that girl?"
Nangong Ye's handsome face now showed a hint of amusement. This girl is really interesting. However, they should be able to meet again soon.
The man who was ignored on the side watched the conversation between the two, propped himself up tremblingly, pointed at Nangong Ye, and the madness in his eyes was mixed with subtle darkness. "I didn't expect that the regent admired by the world turned out to be Ye Xiuluo. If you have the guts, kill me. You will never find the plan. This country deserves death!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed Nangong Ye fiercely.
"puff!"
It was the sound of a sword cutting into flesh. The man opened his eyes wide with a look of unwillingness, and then a hint of relief quickly flashed across his face. Dark red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"No, stop him quickly!"
Before Lu Tingxuan could step forward to stop him, the man's body twitched and soon he became unresponsive.
You frowned, pulled out the dagger, took out a piece of cloth from his chest and wiped it repeatedly with a little disgust.
"I didn't expect the people from Liuying Pavilion to be so loyal. We finally caught one of them, but he committed suicide by taking poison," Lu Tingxuan sneered. He kicked the man and squatted down to search but found nothing.
Nangong Ye didn't react much, as if he had expected it. He looked at You and said, "How are the preparations over there going?"
"The whereabouts of the leader of Liuying Pavilion is still unknown. Only his confidants have seen his true face. He usually wears a mask or appears as a stand-in. He recently appeared in his confidant Yan Country, but we are not sure," You put away the wiped dagger and said respectfully.
"Master, didn't this guy say anything useful?" Lu Tingxuan kicked the man's straight body with an unsatisfied look.
"This guy is very tight-lipped. He never revealed any information no matter what."
Nangong Ye stood with his hands behind his back, a terrifying and dangerous aura emanating from his brows, and the pressure from his body made the two people on the side feel uncomfortable.
"Keep watching, don't alert the enemy. It looks like... we'll have to reshuffle the cards soon."
"Yes."
........
He asked Boss Guan to help him open an account in the money shop, and then walked all the way to Xue's house.
At this time, in the hall of Xue's house, except for the "sick" Xue Yumei, everyone else was present.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I am here to visit Miss Xue on behalf of Han Ming and I. I brought some supplements as compensation. I have also heard about the Third Miss's affairs, so I also brought some gifts."
Zhao Hanming listened to what his brother said. Although he was very reluctant to give the woman a gift, he still said, "I am also sorry about the matter of the Third Miss. I was not there and could not help. Please accept my small gift."
Prime Minister Xue was quite satisfied with the two people's words and nodded frequently, "Okay, okay, you are thoughtful. I can't blame you for this."
Xue Zhiyu, who was being led to the hall by the servants, happened to hear Prime Minister Xue's words. She couldn't help but feel disappointed for the original owner. It was fine that he didn't care about his daughter, but now other people's gifts could completely wipe out the grievances she had suffered. Why? !
"Dad, Mom, I pay my respects to you," Xue Zhiyu bowed politely and stood next to Aunt Zhou without even glancing at Zhao Hengfeng.
"Sister Zhiyu, you are here. We just happened to discuss you. I can't help you much about what happened. I hope you won't be too sad. If you need any help, just come to the Zhao Mansion to find me." Zhao Hengfeng didn't care much about Xue Zhiyu's attitude. He nodded at her, looking like a gentleman.
If it were her original self, she would have been moved to tears, but she was not the original self. She felt that Zhao Hengfeng's words were fake. And if she was not mistaken, the curiosity and discomfort in this man's eyes meant that she was being treated as a prey.
This realization made her a little unhappy, but now she was not qualified to provoke him, and she didn't want to die without knowing when.
Seeing Xue Zhiyu's condescending attitude, Zhao Hanming snorted coldly and turned to Prime Minister Xue and said, "Prime Minister, I want to visit Yumei, is that okay?"
"Okay, I'll let someone take you there."
"Okay, thank you for the trouble," Zhao Hanming nodded, turned around and followed the servants waiting outside the door out of the hall.
In Yanan Garden, Xue Yumei was standing in front of the desk, writing something stroke by stroke. When she heard the knock on the door, she answered without even raising her head.
"Yumei, I'm here to see you."
Hearing the voice of the person coming, Xue Yumei stopped writing and looked up at the person. "Hanming, you are here. Please sit down first. I will ask the maid to bring you some tea."
"You still have the mood to write and draw here, you don't know how proud that little bitch is. I didn't plan to bring her a gift, but my brother said it's a matter of reciprocity. What's the point of reciprocity? She's just my aunt's child."
Zhao Hanming walked over and saw Xue Yumei still immersed in writing, so he started to complain.
Xue Yumei put away the last of the brush, then put it down and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao is right. After all, she is also a member of the Xue family. If she gives one and doesn't give the other, how will others see it?"
Zhao Hanming curled his lips and didn't say anything else. The two of them sat down by the window, asked the maid to bring some cakes, and started chatting.
Halfway through the conversation, Zhao Hanming took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "It's my eldest sister's birthday this time, so I asked you to go with me."
Xue Yumei took the letter and looked at it, then said thoughtfully, "Hanming, can I take someone with me?"
"Sure, who would you like to take with you?"
"Take Zhiyu with you, but I'm worried that she has never learned the etiquette and I don't know if she will offend the Imperial Concubine." After saying this, he rubbed his brows worriedly, as if he really cared about his sister.
Zhao Hanming understood what she meant immediately after hearing it. She looked at Xue Yumei who was picking up the cakes, and a little excitement flashed in her eyes. Then she said, "I think my elder sister won't bother with her."
In the hall, Zhao Hengfeng and Prime Minister Xue chatted for a few more words. After Zhao Hanming came out, the two left the Xue Mansion.
Just as Xue Zhiyu was about to return to her room, Prime Minister Xue called her.
"Zhiyu, what do you think of this Young Master Zhao?"
"Mr. Zhao is a good guy, he must be very popular with women."
Prime Minister Xue nodded, and seeing that Xue Zhiyu had no other emotions, he continued, "Then what do you think of Mr. Zhao?"
Xue Zhiyu felt amused. Sure enough, this cheap father was very shrewd. He asked so many questions just to make her marry Mr. Zhao. However, he had miscalculated.
"I have no intention of getting married for the time being. I just want to stay with my parents and serve them. I'm afraid that if I get married, it will be difficult for me to come back to serve them," she said, with a dim glow on her face that moved everyone.
"Well, it's up to you. I'm going back to the study first. You can chat with your mother for a while."
Only Aunt Zhou and her daughter were left. Aunt Zhou looked at her daughter, feeling both relieved and emotional. Her precious daughter had finally grown up. But when she thought of what happened today, she reached out and gently patted the back of her daughter's hand.
"Zhiyu, you... have suffered a lot. It's because your mother is useless. She can't give you a good environment and let you suffer such humiliation."
Xue Zhiyu shook her head, held Aunt Zhou's hand, squatted down and laid her head on Aunt Zhou's thigh intimately, "Don't say that, it is my greatest blessing that my mother gave birth to me. It is you who gave me life. In the future, I will definitely make your life better and happier," If you are willing, I will take you away from here at all costs.
Of course, she didn't say the last sentence. After all, her mother still had feelings for her cheap father. But if one day her cheap father bullied her, she would definitely take her mother as far away as possible.
She didn't notice that when she finished her last sentence, Aunt Zhou frowned, a look of strangeness that quickly disappeared.
"Silly child, seeing you happy is mother's greatest happiness."
.......
"Ling, how's the progress?"
"I have already gotten rid of a few of the followers. They almost exposed me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly."
Ling took off his mask, revealing a charming face, especially his phoenix eyes, which were really captivating.
"Be safe. I'm leaving now."
Just as the man in black turned around and prepared to leave, Ling suddenly said, "We found him."
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the man in black. He turned around and his originally emotionless tone became a little more excited, "Where is he?!"
"The Pavilion Master didn't say anything, but it should be safe now, so don't worry," Ling said and patted the man in black on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.
“That’s great... It’s really great...”
"Yes, we finally found it." Although they said so, there was still a complexity in their eyes. After all, they knew very well what it meant. They were afraid that the world would not be at peace by then.
