Chapter 491 - 470 Second Update
Zheng Congyuan’s face turned white, his hands tightly clenched. Qi Ling, upon seeing this, panicked and immediately spoke first.
"Do you not know, Commandery Princess?" Qi Ling quickly retorted with a question, "It’s all my fault. The Imperial Forest Guard has been a bit tight these past few days, so I didn’t deploy our men, and Prince Duan was also keen to train his own people—it was my negligence. But don’t worry, Commandery Princess, thankfully we discovered it in time. Qi Jin has already led people on the chase, hasn’t he?"
Qi Zhu silently glanced at Qi Ling, admiring him. This trick of misdirection was simply ingenious.
Zheng Nianru looked at Qi Ling, a cold sneer already in her heart. This statement was clearly for her ears, implying that even if they wanted to conceal the truth, it was no longer possible.
What did she want to conceal?
Xing Yu’s complexion suddenly turned pale. What was Nanmen Yu thinking, acting recklessly, wanting to court death? Hadn’t it been said
"In your courtyard, not your people? Xing Yu, you tell me—" Zheng Congyuan suddenly spoke up. Why did he need to know if there were only dead people in this courtyard? What sort of person was Nanmen Yu, especially since he was in her courtyard? What was he supposed to think?
Xing Yu fell to her knees with a thump as tears streamed down her face.
"I, I know nothing, they suddenly appeared, and we couldn’t overpower them..." Xing Yu sobbed, but before she could finish speaking, Zheng Nianru shouted sharply.
"Xing Yu, whose servant are you? Who are you kneeling to?" Zheng Nianru wouldn’t stand for it. Questioning her people right in front of her, treating her like she was invisible? Anything they needed to know, they could ask her.
At the words ’couldn’t overpower them,’ Zheng Congyuan immediately regretted it. He should have anticipated this. Moreover, it was his misjudgment, but what exactly did Nanmen Yu intend to do?
