Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions, a price of 1,000 coins was already exorbitant. They were merely inquiring about the cause of death of a noble son, and this sum was more than enough to ensure that all known information was provided.
Inside, someone said, “Please wait a moment, I will be right back.”
“Are they going to check the archives?” Liang Yi asked.
Liu Shimei nodded and said, “It will definitely take some time.”
She turned her head and saw her silly puppy looking bored, lying on the table, playing with a teacup. She couldn’t help but smile and said, “Lingyao, what are you thinking about?”
In her heart, she sighed: Oh my, whose Husky is this? It’s so well-behaved!
So obedient and cute, and so good-looking, this kind of appearance is really too captivating!
If Huangfu Lingyao knew what she was thinking, he might spit blood.
Luckily, he didn’t know. He raised his head and looked at his wife, saying, “I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just wondering, if big brother was really killed by someone, what would you do?”
The question was incredibly innocent, but he had wanted to ask it for a long time. He hadn’t found the right opportunity before, and now it came naturally.
Liu Shimei’s expression stiffened, and her smile faded away.
Although Liu Shimei had suspected for a long time and even felt that there was a high probability that Liu Quan was killed by someone, when it came to this question, she still couldn’t fully control her emotions.
Indignant!
Liang Yi was also stunned. He looked at Liu Shimei and said, “Sister, we’ve found out who our enemy is. We must seek revenge, right?”
“Yes,” Liu Shimei responded, lowering her head with a sigh. “Once we find out who the enemy is, we must make them pay with their own blood!”
It was a heavy topic, and her mood was evident. Liang Yi remained silent, glaring at Huangfu Lingyao as if to say, “Look at what you’ve done!”
Huangfu Lingyao pouted, glared back at Liang Yi, and then turned back.
He didn’t speak but held Liu Shimei’s hand on the table, saying, “Wife, don’t be upset. Once we find this person, whatever you want to do, I’m here to help!”
This statement was devoid of any foolishness, it was sincere and earnest.
But his foolishness had already endeared him to everyone present; neither Liang Yi nor Liu Shimei doubted him in the slightest!
“Hmph!” Liang Yi chuckled at him, “You, what can you do?”
Huangfu Lingyao stood his ground. “What’s wrong with me? As long as I want to help, why can’t I? He’s Wife’s brother, isn’t he my brother too? Isn’t he related to my father, the emperor? Once we know who it is, I can ask my father to behead them, right?”
The Ninth Young Master Liang, bombarded with a series of questions, stared wide-eyed.”…”
Well, that made sense!
Liu Quan was the legitimate eldest son of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, and he was also an imperial scholar paid by the court. Although he had not yet entered officialdom, disregarding his identity as the Grand Chancellor’s eldest son, he was already an official!
Revealing the plot against Liu Quan could lead to various accusations, it all depended on how things were manipulated behind the scenes!
As they pondered how to handle the situation behind the scenes, there was a sound of movement behind the black curtain of the stone room they were in.
“I apologize to have kept everyone waiting.”
Liu Shimei and Liang Yi quickly composed themselves, and Huangfu Lingyao straightened his posture.
A voice came from behind the curtain, “We haven’t confirmed yet if Liu Quan’s death was accidental or intentional. However, we have some related information in our hands. It’s all in this little blue booklet; see if it helps.”
As the person spoke, the traditional table split open again, and a small table rose from the floor, holding a blue-covered booklet.
Liang Yi reached out and took the booklet, flipping through it.. It succinctly summarized various people and events related to Liu Quan, including the whereabouts of Wen Gui and Wu Qiang!
