May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

After a moment's thought, Chunhua suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that he's thinking that the other man is in the shadows while we're in the open, and that once we've fought to the death, the other man won't be able to hold him back, and he can still break free of his shackles without needing our help?"

As soon as Chunhua said those words, she herself shuddered.

What a vicious mind!

Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but look at Chunhua with newfound respect: "Did you secretly take some kind of medicine? How come your mind is so sharp?"

Chunhua stamped her foot: "This servant has been influenced by her surroundings!"

Her words were so sweet that Wen Yuanshu's eyes crinkled into a smile.

Just as they were about to get into the carriage, they heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats approaching from afar.

Turning around, I saw that it was Lu Chengyuan.

His face showed an unprecedented eagerness. When he got close, he dismounted, looked her over carefully, and then took two steps forward to hug her tightly.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Wen Yuanshu could feel his rapid heartbeat.

Chunhua silently walked to the side.

Wen Yuanshu pushed him away with difficulty: "What are you doing here?"

This person went away last night and didn't come back, which made her worry for a long time. I didn't expect that he went to arrest Wen Jing!

She's really worried about the wrong person!

Knowing that Wen Yuanshu was angry, Lu Chengyuan couldn't say anything for the moment.

What can he say.

He said that he went there last night not to arrest Wen Jing, but was caught by Wen Heng, which forced him to put Wen Jing in jail.

This remark also dragged Wen Heng into the mess; if it were said aloud, it would only make things worse.

"Yuan Shu," Lu Chengyuan said urgently, grabbing her hand, "I—"

Wen Yuanshu shook off his hand without saying a word: "I have now experienced firsthand Commander Lu's style of handling things."

After saying that, Wen Yuanshu walked towards the carriage.

Chunhua understood Wen Yuanshu's intention, so she followed closely behind Wen Yuanshu, not giving Lu Chengyuan any opportunity to take advantage.

The carriage departed, leaving Lu Chengyuan standing alone. He looked utterly alone, a sense of loneliness emanating from him, like a large dog watching its master leave, knowing it would soon be homeless.

Meanwhile, Grand Secretary Qin left the palace, went home to change his clothes, and headed towards the guesthouse in the capital.

He went to the palace and realized that the emperor did not seem to intend to punish Wen Jing immediately.

Hu Yanzhuo has been in the capital for quite some time now, and he can't delay much longer. At most, the emperor will grant Hu Yanzhuo his seal of office and allow him to leave the capital within a month.

Therefore, he had to speed things up.

Therefore, on this trip, Grand Secretary Qin wanted Huyan Zhuo to cause a scene in front of the emperor.

But for some reason, this person started playing cat and mouse with him.

She would say she wasn't feeling well one minute, and then complain of being tired the next; in short, she was unwilling to go to the palace.

Grand Secretary Qin tried everything he could, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him, but in the end, all he got was a steady snore.

Qin Ge Lao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and finally got up and left in a huff.

His face was gloomy, and his withered skin made him look even more frightening.

It's ok!

He still has a way!

The Wen family must be eliminated before Huyan Zhuo leaves Beijing!

Back at his residence, Grand Secretary Qin summoned his trusted aide and gave him a few instructions, telling him to wait until late at night before taking any action.

After arranging that matter, Grand Secretary Qin remained silent for a moment, then summoned another person: "Go and investigate whether anyone entered or left the guesthouse in the capital today, and whether they spoke anything to Hu Yanzhuo!"

Otherwise, that person wouldn't have acted so out of character and refused to listen to him!

The man immediately accepted the order and left.

Wen Yuanshu did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts today, and she was the only outsider who went in today, so her whereabouts were easy to trace. However, Wen Yuanshu had secret guards by her side, so no one knew what she said to Hu Yanzhuo.

When the news was reported to Grand Secretary Qin, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Wen Yuanshu!

Unexpectedly, the first person to think of intercepting him was Wen Yuanshu!

This little girl from the Wen family does have some skills!
