Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy
Chapter 81: Xue Zhong, the Cunning and Scheming Master
Xue Zhong woke up slowly the next day, and immediately called the leader of his death squad.
"Wangchuan, have you explained clearly?"
"Please rest assured, Master! He will definitely commit suicide tonight out of fear of punishment."
"Inform He Feng not to let the eldest son appear in public, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted, and the entire Xue family will be ruined."
"I obey my orders."
After Wang Chuan left, Xue Zhong showed a sinister smile on his face, "Are you all hoping that I, Xue Zhong, will fall? Don't dream. I have worked so hard to get to where I am today, and I will never be defeated so easily."
"My son's murderer hasn't been found yet. I can't let this go. Otherwise, I won't be content in the afterlife."
The second legitimate daughter, Xue Qing, married Lin Zhao, the second son of Marquis Wu'an. During this period, her natal family encountered frequent troubles, and her life in the Lin family was not easy. She had to return home frequently to accompany her parents through these difficult days.
She had just come from her mother's room and saw Xue Zhong leaning against the head of the bed with a head full of white hair. She immediately burst into tears out of heartache.
"Dad, you're awake."
Xue Zhong's old voice came, "Qing'er, you're back."
"Dad, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Dad, it's okay. I'm just worried about your eldest brother, and I don't know how he's doing in prison."
"I'll go back and ask my father-in-law to help make my eldest brother's life in prison a little more comfortable."
"The Xue family has been in trouble frequently. Officials who used to be on good terms with my father have all stayed away from me, fearing that the bad luck of my family will be passed on to them, and also fearing that being on good terms with me would offend Prime Minister Huo."
"Marquis Wu'an may not help."
"I'll go back and ask him, hoping he can help. Right now, your health and mother's health are the most important. If you fall, the entire Xue family will really fall."
"Even if your eldest brother and younger brother are gone, Dad will not fall, don't worry!"
That night, the tragic news came from the Ministry of Justice's prison that Xue Fan had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Since Xue Zhong fainted in the hall, he took leave to recuperate at home. Today, he fainted again after hearing the news of his son's death.
The next day, the emperor came to court in the morning, and Chen Fu reported: "Your Majesty, last night we heard from the Ministry of Justice that Xue Fan committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"It seems he's used to the extravagant life outside, and entering the dungeon made him unable to accept such a hard life, so he chose to end his few remaining days."
"Send someone to inform Xue Zhong to take his eldest son back for burial. Don't make such a fuss that it will cause public outcry."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Xue Zhong and his wife, along with their daughter-in-law Ding and two grandsons, were "heartbroken" and chose a Feng Shui treasured land to bury Xue Fan. After the burial, the couple "fell ill and could not get back", and their daughter-in-law stayed in her room in depression.
The entire Xue family was shrouded in sadness, and the servants in the mansion spoke and walked cautiously, for fear of angering their masters.
Xue Ying has been much more peaceful since his father locked him up in the ancestral hall and denied him food.
Jiang Zongwei felt that Xue Zhong would definitely cultivate him in the future. After all, his two sons were dead and his grandson was only a few years old. The entire Xue family still depended on him to maintain its reputation. Now he felt very happy and his back felt straighter.
Mrs. Xue sat there worriedly saying, "Master, please resign from your post to the Emperor and return home! Otherwise, I'm afraid people will find out if we stay here for too long. Losing Haoyu almost killed me. If something happens to Fan'er again, how will I, as his mother, survive? Besides, this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and it will lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan."
"Madam, I have worked so hard to get to where I am today, and no one knows how hard it has been. I am unwilling to retire now that I have achieved my goal."
"As long as no one finds out that Fan'er is still alive, and the Emperor is overly sympathetic to our Xue family and is even more favoring towards Jing'er and the Fourth Prince, our Xue family can still prosper for decades."
"Is the life of your family more important or fame and fortune more important?"
"Madam, our storehouse was robbed and we have no money left. How can I support my family? I can't afford to farm for a living if I go back."
"Master, I can sell all my jewelry and live the rest of my life, but I won't have the luxurious life I have now. It's better for our family to live frugally than to live in fear."
"As long as Fan'er doesn't show up in front of others, as long as you keep it a secret from Ding, Qing'er, and Jing'er, nothing will happen."
"When the Fourth Prince ascends the throne, Fan'er will only need to change his identity and name and return to the capital to live as usual. Our Xue family will remain standing."
"This road is too difficult. If we lose, Jing'er and the Fourth Prince will be doomed."
Xue Zhong angrily scolded: "Woman's kindness, ever since Jing'er entered the palace as a concubine, she has had no choice. Only by reaching the highest position can she have a chance of survival. Otherwise, the whole family will end, and neither you nor I will have a good end. Do you understand?"
"Even if Jing'er summons you to the palace, you must keep it a secret from her. There are so many people in the palace and they talk so much. If someone overhears, it will be disastrous."
"I see."
"When you have time, go visit Mrs. Ding more often and ask her to educate Xian'er and Qian'er well. She doesn't need to worry about other matters in the mansion."
"it is good."
Xue Zhong didn't know that Shen Rou had sent Liu Qi and Song Hua to secretly investigate Xue Fan's whereabouts and had determined that Xue Fan was hiding in Shoushan, more than 200 miles away from the capital.
Usually, few people enter this mountain, mainly because there is a miasma forest here. People with strong internal strength can enter safely, but people with weak martial arts can easily be poisoned by the miasma.
Liu Qi and his companions did not dare to rush in, for fear of entering the miasma forest and being unable to escape safely. The two of them took turns guarding outside, and they did not see Xue Fan come out for several days.
Liu Qi looked at Song Hua and said, "Go down the mountain quietly and tell Wang Jian what to do."
"Be careful so they don't come out and find you."
"I understand. Come back soon."
