Chapter 123: Do you feel so old at such a young age?
Lin Siqiong is not a tolerant person. In order to prevent Lin Siqiong from discovering this place and causing harm to the three of them, Shen Qingmo has deliberately liked other women in recent years.
Let Lin Siqiong discover these women and vent all her resentment on them in order to protect the mother and her two children in Changping Lane.
At the same time, Shen Qingmo also instructed the servants in Changping Lane to lock the doors, whether it was day or night, and never open the door to strangers.
In the past, every time Shen Qingmo came here, the door would only open after he revealed his identity.
What's going on today?
Why is the door ajar in broad daylight?
Shen Qingmo's heartbeat unknowingly quickened a lot, and his face became paler and paler.
Although he felt uneasy, he still pushed the door open and walked in.
After taking just two steps, I smelled a strong smell of blood.
Shen Qingmo paused for a moment, then stumbled towards the house.
The room was full of people.
His charming and romantic second wife, his lively and lovely children, as well as his maids and servants, were all lying on the ground, blocking his way, and they died with their eyes open.
Their blood almost dyed the furniture in the house red, and even formed a small pool of blood on the ground.
Shen Qingmo looked at this scene and felt his stomach churning.
I tried to hold it in again and again, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore. I turned around and ran out, kneeling at the door and vomited.
The driver heard the noise outside, realized something was wrong, and quickly stuck his head in.
Seeing Shen Qingmo kneeling on the ground and vomiting, he was even more frightened and ran over quickly, "Master, what are you doing——"
Before he could finish his words, he saw what was happening in the house.
The corpses with their eyes open and the bright red blood all over the room came into his sight.
The driver was so frightened that his eyes widened and he ran out in a panic.
Walking out of Changping Lane is the busy street.
When someone saw the driver so frightened, they were curious and worried, so they hurried forward to ask what was going on.
The driver pointed to Changping Lane behind him and said, "There's... there's a dead body..."
These words scared everyone, but some of them were brave enough to go to Changping Lane together.
When they saw the room full of corpses, they all screamed in fear.
With so many people dead and witnessed by so many people, it naturally couldn't be concealed.
Not long after, the prefect of Jingzhao arrived with his men.
Shen Qingmo finally calmed down at this time, but when he looked up, he met the inquiring eyes of the Jingzhao prefect.
"Sir Shen," the Jingzhao prefect said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
His voice was gentle, but the questions he asked were not polite at all.
Shen Qingmo racked his brains, trying to come up with a suitable answer.
But before he could open his mouth, an official ran out of the house with a few pieces of paper in his hand.
"Sir, this is the property deed and the marriage certificate."
"Oh?" Jingzhao Prefecture Yin took it and looked at it, then looked at Shen Qingmo with a smile, "So, this is Lord Shen's concubine!"
"Master Shen, I'm so sorry!"
"Does Lord Shen have any suspicions about the murderer?"
"Lord Shen, please tell me everything you know. Only then can I find the murderer and seek justice for you!"
Shen Qingmo clenched his fists and then unclenched them, finally shaking his head slowly, "I have no suspects, and no enemies."
He said this in a light-hearted manner, but only Shen Qingmo himself knew how much he was gritting his teeth at this moment.
Without asking or checking, he knew that this matter must be related to Lin Siqiong.
But he couldn't say this.
In the capital, topics with even a hint of romance spread the fastest.
By the afternoon, the entire capital knew that Chen Qingmo had a concubine and had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, with her.
It’s a pity that they all died today.
Yu Tingwan, who stayed at the Wen Mansion and did not go out, also heard the news.
At that time, she was drinking tea and eating snacks with Yu Youning.
Mainly, Yu Tingwan drank tea and Yu Youning ate snacks.
Yu Youning swallowed the snack in his mouth and then said, "Li'er's brothers and sisters are all dead? Li'er must be so sad!"
Yu Tingwan, "......"
That won’t make me sad.
How can there be affection between brothers and sisters whom you have never met?
Especially since Shen Qingmo said today in front of all the officials that he wanted to divorce Lin Siqiong, if Lin Siqiong knew about the mistress and her two children, she would definitely be gritting her teeth in hatred...
etc!
The mistress was a good wife and had lived for several years, so how could she suddenly die today?
Is it really such a coincidence?
If it was really Lin Siqiong who had someone do this, then she must be crazy.
From now on, I have to be more careful with her.
Yu Tingwan waved his hand and let the servant go. Then he looked at Yu Youning and said, "Youning, are you scared in there during the test today?"
"I'm not scared! It's quite fun!"
Fun?
Two people died from Xiliang Kingdom and four people died from Nanzhao Kingdom, and Yu Youning actually said it was fun?
Yu Tingwan suddenly felt her hands itchy and wanted to slap Yu Youning on the butt a few times to let her know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was!
But after looking into Yu Youning's big watery eyes, this idea disappeared without a trace.
never mind.
Anyway, this competition is over. The next time I participate in such a competition will probably be five years later.
By that time, Yu Youning was already in his teens and had become much more sensible.
Yu Tingwan was comforting herself in her heart when she heard Yu Youning speak in a baby voice again.
"Mother, how can I find my mother-in-law?"
"Can Uncle Xuanwu help me?"
"What kind of person is the mother-in-law you are talking about?" Yu Tingwan asked seriously.
"I don't know either." Yu Youning shook his head. "I haven't seen it! But my master told me that if I encounter it, I should capture it and hand it over to him."
Yu Tingwan frowned, but finally nodded, "I'll ask your Uncle Xuanwu to find a place, and I'll also have everyone in the shops on Penglai Island keep an eye out."
"Thank you, Mom! Mom, you're the best!"
As Yu Youning spoke, he stood up and ran to Yu Tingwan, hugged Yu Tingwan's arm and shook it gently.
Yu Tingwan looked at the snack crumbs on her sleeve, then looked at Yu Youning who was constantly acting coquettishly, and finally just hugged her in her arms lovingly.
"You never have to say thank you to your mother."
...
Dayong won the first match.
And they won without losing anybody.
This greatly boosted Dayong's morale.
The emperor was happy, but also a little nervous.
After the morning court session the next day, he sent for Yu Youning, Huo Qingchen and Chu Huaixu.
As the three of them walked along the road, Huo Qingchen curiously asked, "Your Highness, why does the Emperor want to see Youning and me? Is he going to reward us?"
Yu Youning was originally looking around casually, but upon hearing this, he immediately became interested, "What's the reward? Is it food?"
Huo Qingchen glanced at Yu Youning and said, "You only know how to eat!"
"Then don't eat it!"
“Why shouldn’t I eat?”
"Then you said I..."
Seeing that the two of them started bickering again after a disagreement, Chu Huaixu hurriedly interrupted them.
"Father not only summoned us, but also summoned the five people who will participate in the second competition."
Huo Qingchen was instantly drawn to these words, "Why do you want us to go meet them?"
"Father wants us to share some experience in passing the test."
"But the second competition may not be the same as the first one!" Yu Youning said.
Chu Huaixu nodded. "It's different, but it can serve as a reference. Tell me whatever you can think of later."
Huo Qingchen and Yu Youning then nodded.
Soon, they arrived at the place.
In addition to the emperor, there were also the old prime minister, a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, and five young boys.
Among these five people, only one is shorter than the others and looks younger.
After the emperor asked Yu Youning and the other two to stand up and sit down, he smiled and said, "Youning, this is the old Prime Minister, you have met him.
The other one is the old Prime Minister’s favorite student and the current Prime Minister. You can just call him Prime Minister Wen.
The youngest person sitting over there is Wen Xiangli, the adopted son of Prime Minister Wen, and he is also the leader among the five of them.
In a moment, you will tell them everything you experienced in the competition in detail so that they can use it as a reference."
Although Yu Youning didn't know what to refer to, he nodded obediently and said, "Okay!"
Chu Huaixu was afraid that Yu Youning couldn't explain it clearly, so he spoke himself and let Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen supplement.
After two quarters of an hour, he finally finished explaining everything in detail.
Wen Xiangli looked over at this time and asked, "Then why did Lin Ruoli get to the flag earlier than you? And what was she holding in her hand?"
Wen Xiangli was only ten years old, a small boy with a very thin figure.
But when he spoke, his expression was serious and his tone was rigid, giving people the feeling of being mature beyond his years.
Yu Youning tilted his head, feeling strange.
This man is not very old, but why does he give her the feeling of being a little old man?
Are you feeling so old at such a young age?
Being stared at by Yu Youning the whole time, Wen Xiangli's fair cheeks turned red. "Why are you staring at me? I'm asking you."
Yu Youning blinked. "How did Li'er arrive near the flag so early? Shouldn't you ask Li'er? How would I know if you ask me?"
There is no problem with this answer.
Wen Xiangli was stunned for a moment and repeated the second question, "What was that in Lin Ruoli's hand? Why did you snatch it away and throw it away?"
"I don't know!" Yu Youning blinked innocently.
Wen Xiangli frowned.
have no idea?
He doesn't believe it!
If you don’t know, why would you snatch it away and throw it away?
Before Wen Xiangli could ask again, Yu Youning had already turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, can I eat now?"
After talking for so long, she was starving!
Although the emperor also wanted to know, but facing Yu Youning's pitiful and greedy appearance, he finally waved his hand and said, "Eat, eat!"
He also realized that Yu Youning just didn't want to say it and was pretending to be stupid!
If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t talk about it. It’s not a big deal anyway!
