Rong Chaoxi was exposed to the black cloud in the early morning and forgot to turn it off.
The little guy scratched his chubby cheek and asked, "Do you want to close it?"
Chanbei sighed, "Since everyone has seen it, let it be."
"I can also judge the distance between it and people based on its size..." He looked up helplessly and sighed deeply.
Seeing that the old man was in trouble, Rong Baichuan's anger subsided a lot. He took the children to entertain the guests and celebrate Rong Yubai's success in the imperial examination.
There was laughter and joy, and everyone was having a great time.
The Annan Marquis Mansion at this moment is in stark contrast.
Rong Qi Wang returned home, still feeling frightened.
He was stupid and didn't know what to do, so he went to find the old lady.
The poor old lady, whose left leg was broken and she could just walk, was so frightened when she heard that her son's murder and theft was about to be exposed that she almost sprained her ankle again.
"Did you see it clearly?"
"The person you killed with your own hands showed up in the General's Mansion?"
"Yes, mother, I saw it clearly..." Rong Qiwang's voice trembled, "I must be seeing things right. He has always been with that scholar. I have seen him many times."
"Before he died, that face looked at me with a smile, saying that he would definitely turn into a ghost and come back to seek revenge on me..."
"Mom, what should I do? He's with Rong Baichuan. Does Rong Baichuan already know about me?"
"If he exposes me, our whole family will be finished!"
Only at this moment did Rong Qi Wang know what fear was.
For more than thirty years in his life, the old lady arranged everything for him, and his life was so smooth.
The only thing I did myself, I discovered a loophole after just a few days of success.
"Don't worry," the old lady said. "You said he didn't recognize you. Maybe it's someone who looks similar?"
Hearing this, Rong Qi Wang calmed down a little, "Yes... they should look similar..." he comforted himself.
"Just in case, find someone to get rid of the child." The old lady's eyes were sinister.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.
If he just lost his memory, once he remembered, it would be a disaster for the Annan Marquisate.
The accountant had no money left, and Rong Qiwang had stolen everything from the old lady's private vault.
If he wanted to hire someone to kill someone, he could only get the money from Hu's dowry.
The old lady leaned on a cane and walked slowly towards Hu's yard.
When they arrived at the gate, they saw it was closed. The old lady asked, "Why lock the door in broad daylight?"
The maidservant knocked on the door twice before pushing it open and entering.
A hint of suspicion flashed across the old lady's eyes, and then she followed him in.
"Mom, why are you here?" Mrs. Hu came out from the side door. She looked a little hurried and hadn't even put on her clothes.
"Why are you in the side room? It's already noon, and you're still sleeping?" The old lady's brows showed impatience.
"I had a nightmare last night, so I slept too much." Mrs. Hu curled her lips secretly and said with a smile: "The window of the main room is broken, so I have been living in the side room recently."
Mrs. Hu pulled her clothes together to cover the glaring red on her shoulder.
"Mom, you came to see me, is there something wrong?"
When the reason for coming here was mentioned, the old lady's expression softened a little and she smiled.
"Give me five thousand taels of silver."
"Five thousand taels?" Upon hearing this figure, Mrs. Hu's voice unconsciously rose. "What do you need so much silver for?"
She is a lame old lady and has no social engagements, so where would she spend so much money?
It wouldn't cost that much to hold her funeral.
"I have my own uses, just give it to me." Seeing her reluctance, the old lady looked annoyed.
"Why, now that you're in charge, I, an old woman, can't even take a penny from you!"
"That's not what my daughter-in-law meant. You know the situation at home. Without income, we can no longer afford to pay so much money."
Hu's eyes rolled. "Don't you have a private vault? You can use it first..."
Mrs. Hu understood that the old lady must want her to use her dowry to supplement the money.
Now that the Marquis' Mansion has fallen into decline, those were the marriage gifts she prepared for Rong Shihan.
Naturally, she wouldn't use a cent.
"How do you manage the household?" the old lady shouted angrily upon hearing this. "I handed over a good estate to you, and you squandered it all. Now you're even thinking about my coffin!"
The crutch made a clanging sound when it was pounded on the ground.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a chair falling to the ground in the room.
"Bang—"
"What's that noise? Who's in your room?" the old lady said as she was about to go inside.
Hu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she hurriedly stopped her, "No one, mother, don't you want silver? Let's go get it now..."
As he said that, he pushed the old lady to the main house to get the key, and then went to the warehouse to withdraw money.
The old lady took the silver and gave it to Rong Qi Wang, who went out to hire killers without stopping.
At night, when everyone in the family had gone to bed, the old lady felt more and more that something was not right.
"No... The red mark on Mrs. Hu's shoulder doesn't look right..." The old lady sat up straight, "That mark looks exactly like..."
After Hu came back from the villa, she never slept with Rong Qi Wang again.
The old lady put on an outer coat at random, and as if by magic, she did not bring anyone with her. She went to Hu's yard alone in the moonlight.
The light was still on inside, and the maid guarding the door had fallen asleep by it.
The old lady pushed the door open quietly and walked to the side room window without making any sound.
As soon as I got closer, I heard an unbearable sound coming from inside.
She was very sure that Rong Qi Wang had not come back tonight and the person inside was not his son.
"Bitch! How dare you cheat on Qi Wang." The old lady cursed in a low voice.
Although he was angry, he still maintained a bit of rationality, fearing that they would become desperate and do something bad to him.
