Man Niang sneered and said, "So you suspect I killed my husband? What a joke! How could I possibly kill my husband? He's been so good to me. He even said that once he'd usher in the Qi family's troops and led them to the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and once he'd achieved fame, he'd negotiate a divorce with the eldest young lady and marry me. How could I possibly kill him?"

Qi Yuning listened to Man Niang's words and said, "What did you say? Huang Rui said he would welcome the Qi family's troops into Longzhou City?"

Man Niang said, "Yes, my husband admires the Qi family army the most. When he learned that the Qi family army had arrived in Liangzhou, he wanted to go out of the city to welcome them. He was so happy that day that he told me that he would soon meet Prince Qi. I didn't expect that he would not be able to see Prince Qi in the end..."

Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Man Niang. For a moment, he didn't know whether she had already known his identity and said so on purpose.

Man Niang said, "I don't have the ability to kill my husband. I also believe that my husband didn't die of anger because of my wife's adultery. My wife has long been unwilling to forgive him..."

Qi Yuning looked into Manniang's eyes and said, "You said Huang Rui would divorce Miss Shen and marry you? That's absolutely impossible. They have a child!"

Man Niang said, "I don't know if my husband is trying to coax me or if he wants to scare my wife so she can forgive him. I only know that I won't kill him. He still has a lot of far-reaching revenge in mind. He's still thinking about getting rid of the Qin family. How could he die?"

Lu Ze asked, "What do you mean by eliminating the Qin family?"

Manniang said, "My husband's biological mother was murdered by the daughter of the Qin family. The current wife of Governor Shen, relying on her status as the Empress's niece, caused my husband's mother's death during childbirth. My husband has remembered this hatred since he was old enough to understand, and it has always been etched in his heart. How could he be willing to die without avenging his great vengeance?"
