Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 257

Chu Tianming didn't react at first. After thinking for a long time, he went through all the relevant people he could think of in his mind.

The young man from Xiqi was seriously injured, and the Shen family wanted to heal him.

Chu Tianming suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically.

That young soldier from Western Qi!

Two years ago, before the Battle of Feichi Valley, the soldier saw him delivering military supplies to the Western Qi Marshal. He and the Western Qi Marshal discovered this, and he personally pierced the soldier's heart with a sword, then ordered the body to be thrown down the cliff.

He thought he had silenced the person, so he forgot about it and didn't think about it anymore.

Could it be that the soldier actually didn't die?

And Shen Wei and his team even found it?

Chu Tianming told the Duke of Changguo about this matter with trepidation, and the Duke of Changguo was almost driven to death by him.

He yelled, "How could you make such a huge oversight in something so important? You couldn't even cover up the truth! What use are you?!"

Chu Tianming was also aggrieved. He had killed countless people on the battlefield and was no novice. He remembered clearly that he had stabbed the other person in the heart, so how come he was still not dead?

The Duke of Changguo said irritably, "The only solution now is to send someone to silence him again, before the Shen family heals that soldier, and make him shut up completely. You handle this matter; if you fail, you can forget about being the heir of the Duke of Changguo!"

Chu Tianming quickly replied, "Father, don't worry, I will handle it properly!"

The Duke of Changguo continued, "His Majesty is still undecided, struggling with how to deal with Shen Wei. I will encourage and bribe a group of court officials to speak to His Majesty on his behalf. It's probably unlikely that he will punish Shen Wei, but we can exile him far away. At that time, we will spare no expense to ensure that Shen Wei dies outside the capital. You will also be in charge of making these preparations. Is that alright?"

Chu Tianming readily agreed: "No problem."

He'd done this kind of thing countless times. There are some extremely secretive assassin organizations in the martial arts world, specializing in assassinations. Their assassins are highly skilled, and as long as you pay them enough, they'll handle things perfectly. And the Chu family has no shortage of money.

Duke Changguo sighed deeply: "Alright, hurry up and get on with it. This time, we can only succeed, we cannot fail. Otherwise, the century-old foundation of the Chu family will be destroyed in our generation, and neither you nor I will have the face to face the ancestors of the Chu family!"

......

The Yongning Marquis's Residence.

Shen Lingjun had just finished entertaining guests and returned to Weixia Courtyard.

Since she was granted the title of Second-Rank Imperial Lady for her great achievements, she has become quite famous in the capital.

Previously, the Yongning Marquis's mansion had a bad reputation, and the powerful and wealthy in the capital looked down on Qin Shaoze and rarely associated with him. But now that Qin Shaoze is gone, only his widow Shen Lingjun remains. Shen Lingjun's reputation is much better, the Yongning Marquis's mansion is much cleaner, and more guests are coming to visit.

Dou Niang came in to report: "Madam, the condition of that person in Fei Shuang Courtyard seems to be fluctuating. He suddenly started talking non-stop, although I can't quite understand what he's saying."

The person in Feishuang Courtyard refers to that soldier from Xiqi. Shen Lingjun arranged for him to stay in a small courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, Feishuang Courtyard.
