Chapter 425: How the hero was born.
The women halted the conversation for a moment and the Empress Mother sent for drinks. The drinks arrived along with Princess Rize who was searching for Chi Lian.
"Why is everyone hiding in here?" She asked as she settled won into a chair. "Are we plotting something or exchanging theories on Long Bo’s death. I say the wife might have done it. What are the odds of him dying so soon after the divorce? His will was not amended since they married and she is going to get everything despite the fact that they are already divorced. Talk about someone’s luck turning around."
"That is not what this about." Chi Lian told her.
Rize looked at the others curiously. With the serious looks on their faces, clearly there was something going on.
"It’s about Long Bo trying to murder me." Mei Mei shared. "Apparently, in this empire I am a very famous candidate for assassination. My list of enemies might be equal to Junjie’s."
Rize snorted. She detected so much sarcasm in Mei Mei’s voice.
"At least two are dead so that makes me safer." Mei Mei added.
Rize arched her brows curiously.
"Mo Liang is dead. Offed himself by hanging apparently and the warden has kept it under wraps." Mei Mei shared this too. "I can already imagine the conspiracies that are going to get thrown around. I will be suspect one in the eyes of the public."
"And I will be two." Chi Lian laughed. "No matter when or where he died from, people were always bound to think that we had a hand in it. Anyway, good riddance I say. We can finally close that Chapter permanently. Even the taxpayer’s money has survived being wasted on a trial and years of feeding a leech."
