Chapter 216

Jingwu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "If we don't inform her, she'll cause trouble again."

Shao Che understood what she meant, agreed, and immediately went out to take care of it.

He led his men in a grand procession to the Prince Hui's mansion. Upon arriving at the mansion's gate, he deliberately made a great commotion announcing the death, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

That's exactly how we want to avoid Jing Shu turning around and accusing them of not informing her later.

After a long time, no one in the Prince Hui's mansion paid any attention; the gates remained tightly closed, and no one came out.

Seeing that it was almost time, Shao Chengrui left with his men. Anyway, with so many people watching on the street, they couldn't say that the Shao family hadn't notified them.

Jingwu returned to his room, sat down in a chair, and seemed lost in thought.

Suddenly, a presence appeared inside the room.

The aura was very familiar. Jingwu knew who it was without even looking up, so he remained in the same position.

Yue Huai walked over to her, sat down, and handed her a pot of fine wine.

Seeing that she didn't take it for a long time, he put the wine on the table and sighed deeply.

"Should we see her one more time?"

Jingwu knew that she was referring to Shao Wanyan's spirit.

A strange glint flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head.

"She entered the underworld today and is still queuing on the Bridge of Helplessness. In about two days, she will be punished in the eighteenth level of hell, with a sentence of two hundred years."

Jingwu paused for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "She has blood on her hands; she deserves to be punished in the deepest hell."

She picked up the wine, tilted her head back, and took a sip. Her small face showed no sign of anything unusual.

Yue Huai noticed that something was wrong with her, so he sat down next to her and drank with her.

After a few rounds of drinks, the girl suddenly raised her head, looked at the person in front of her, stared straight at him, but did not say a word.

The intense gaze made Yue Huai feel extremely uncomfortable. He touched his nose, his ears turning red, and asked, "What's wrong?"

“I just remembered something. Shao Wanyan is dead. Jingming was her husband. Why isn’t he here?”

"Huh?" Yue Huai listened to her words, pondered for a moment, and then understood what she meant: "Maybe something's wrong?"

Jingwu's face turned bright red, and he frowned in disgust: "What could he possibly be doing? He's just a freeloader. Let me find out where he is, and I'll go and drag him over."

She stretched out her hand and immediately did some calculations.

"Oh, flirting with courtesans at Tianxiang Restaurant." Jingwu swayed as he stood up, scoffing, "I'll go and drag him back right now, and make him kneel before Shao Wanyan's coffin to observe mourning!"

"Huh?" Yue Huai quickly helped her up, and seeing her drunken state, he couldn't help but start to doubt the wine he had brought.

This wine is exactly the same as before, so why are you so drunk today?

"Ah Huai, come with me to catch him cheating! Let's go and bring him here!" Jing Wu grabbed his wrist and said with wide eyes.

Yue Huai's ears turned red instantly, and he was secretly delighted to hear this address.

Okay, so be it if she gets a little drunk. At least she's become a bit more affectionate with herself now.

Before his excitement had even subsided, he saw a blur before his eyes, the scene shifted rapidly, and he landed in a restaurant.

Jingwu staggered after landing.

Her eyes quickly scanned everyone sitting in the lobby, searching for her target.

Yue Huai watched her staggering figure and couldn't help but reach out to protect her.

"Slow down, slow down, no rush."

Jingwu paid no attention to what he was saying and continued searching for people in the crowd.

The next second, her eyes locked onto a human face.

Jing Ming was currently embracing the songstress, gazing at her with hazy eyes, and drinking the wine that was fed to him, completely unaware that someone was watching him from a distance.

He reached out to touch the woman's smooth face in his arms, but as soon as he raised his hand, it was grabbed by another hand.

Jing Ming looked over with displeasure and immediately cursed, "Who's blind? Don't they know who I am?"

Jingwu looked at his face and chuckled softly, "I know, you're the one I've been looking for!"

Jing Ming was also a little drunk, but he instantly sobered up when he saw the face of the person in front of him.

This face is almost identical to Shao Wanyan's when she was young. However, the person in front of me has a more resolute look in their eyes.

Jing Ming naturally knew she was his daughter, and immediately pushed the woman in his arms away, coughing lightly twice: "Awu, what brings you here?"

"Come with me." Jingwu didn't want to waste any more words with him; he just wanted to take him back to the Shao family and have him keep vigil.

"I'm not leaving. I'm living here just fine, why should I leave?" Jing Ming sat down in the chair, not moving an inch.

He curled his lip. This restaurant was so comfortable, with beautiful women, fine wine, and wonderful things to do. What's more, he didn't have to pay for it himself; Ah Shu paid for it all. Only a fool would leave.

Jingwu saw through his little scheme at a glance, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Shao Wanyan is dead. As her husband, shouldn't you go see her one last time?"

"What?" Jing Ming stared at the person in front of him in shock, stammering, "You...you're...is it true?"

Seeing the girl nod, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How could this be? How could this be? I clearly saw her just a few days ago, how could she be dead?"

Seeing his state, Jingwu stopped talking and grabbed him, teleporting back to the Shao family and throwing him in front of the coffin.

A loud bang was heard, drawing everyone outside inside.

As Ruan Chongyue walked in, she saw her niece, who was covered in cold sweat, and Jing Ming, who was lying on the ground.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked to the girl's side.

"What's wrong, A-Wu?"

"It's nothing. I just asked Jingming to come and keep vigil for Shao Wanyan." Jingwu said coldly, "Aunt, you should go back and rest."

"I..." Ruan Chongyue wanted to say something, but then she saw the girl walk forward without looking at her again.

Jingwu stared intently at the coffin in front of him and said softly, "I should have brought Jing Shu here as well. Didn't you two love her the most? I suppose you wanted to see her one last time."

Jingming looked at his daughter with eyes full of terror. He trembled, wanting to say something, but he was too afraid to speak and could only curl up in the corner.

Just as Jingwu was about to make a move, he saw two people appear beside him.

Looking up, he saw Yue Huai throw Jing Shu in front of the coffin with fluid movements, exactly the same as he had just done.

"I think you'd like to catch her."

Yue Huai looked at the girl in front of him, a smile in his eyes.

Jingwu forced a smile and nodded: "Indeed."
