"No, it's impossible. If he remembered, he would have reported what he did to His Majesty long ago. There has been no movement for more than half a month, so he must not have remembered it yet."
The subtle expression of Rong Qi Wang's thoughts fell into Zhou Ba's eyes exactly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
I guess Rong Qiwang will have to live in fear all night if he goes back tonight.
"Let me go. Do you think a little guard like you can touch this prince? Let me go!" Rong Qi Wang suppressed his guilty conscience and toughened his attitude.
"Second Master Rong, this is Princess Chaoyang. If you dare to touch her, be careful that His Majesty will revoke your title!" Zhou Ba was fearless and pushed Rong Qi Wang away with force.
Rong Qi Wang staggered a few steps before he could steady his plump body which was drunk.
"The princess is also my niece. It's only natural for an uncle to teach his niece a lesson!"
Rong Qi Wang smoothed his crooked hair, turned around and walked away with a burp, without a trace of hesitation, his steps even a little hurried, like a big crab in a hurry to cross the road.
When he returned home, he closed the door tightly.
When the killers were caught, he had to worry about being betrayed, and he also had to worry about Zhou Ba recovering his memory at any time and exposing the bandit suppression.
Rong Qiwang sat there with his bloodshot eyes open until sunset.
When the old man came back from outside, he saw Rong Qi Wang sitting in the front hall with a haggard look as if his father had died. His heart trembled suddenly.
I have a bad feeling.
"How can I see you at home today?" The old man said with disgust.
He was extremely disappointed with the second wife's family.
Their actions over the years have ruined the reputation of the Annan Marquisate and almost brought it to ruin.
Fortunately, I now have a good grandson like Rong Yubai.
Thanks to Rong Yubai, his colleagues in the court have become more friendly towards him in recent days.
The old man didn't want to take care of this useless thing and was about to go back when Rong Qi Wang stopped him.
"Dad, there's something important concerning the Marquis' Mansion that needs your help..."
“…”
"Pah—"
"You bastard, you can't even clean your ass. Do you want to kill our whole family?!"
Hearing that Rong Qi Wang failed to kill all the witnesses, the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
He had been cautious in his words and actions for more than 30 years, but in the end he fell into the hands of a prodigal son.
The old man paced back and forth in the room, and Rong Qiwang knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
After a long while, the old man calmed down a little and asked, "What about the commander? Has he been dealt with properly?"
Zhou Ba was just a guard. Even if he confessed something, he could find an excuse to cover it up. The most important thing was that the main general could not show up.
"I sent people to monitor him for a while. He has had no contact with outsiders except those from the General's Mansion."
"Moreover, the commander was hit by several arrows and was already dying when he fell off the cliff. There are many strange rocks and ferocious beasts under the cliff. There is no possibility of him surviving." Rong Qi Wang said firmly.
"That's good... As long as the commander doesn't come out to complain, a small guard won't cause any trouble." The old man comforted.
"I'll go and test his opinion tomorrow. After all, the Annan Marquisate is your eldest brother's home. He won't do anything that would harm the family..."
Having said that, the old man was still worried.
The calmness of the past few days seems to be about to bring about a storm.
…
The next day.
Rong Qi Wang got up early for once.
When Mrs. Hu came to the dining room, Rong Qi Wang had already eaten half of his meal.
As she stepped over the threshold, a greasy smell wafted into her nose, and Mrs. Hu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"Why are you eating such meaty food so early in the morning?" Mrs. Hu's eyes were full of impatience.
Rong Qi Wang glanced at her and ignored her.
The maid brought Mrs. Hu's breakfast. After she had taken two bites, she felt nauseous and her stomach was churning...
"Ugh..." Mrs. Hu leaned over the edge of the table and began to dry heave.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's eyes were cast on Hu.
"I...I've been feeling unwell lately..." Hu stuttered.
The next moment, the greasy smell wafted over again, and Mrs. Hu couldn't help but began to dry heave again.
After the old lady was stabbed in the leg by Mrs. Hu last year, the relationship between the second wife and her husband reached a freezing point.
After Hu came back from Zhuangzi, the two of them rarely even saw each other face to face.
Thinking of her sudden radiance in the past few months and the courtyard door that could be closed at any time... Rong Qi Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, and an absurd guess arose in his mind.
"Go and invite..."
"Need not……"
"Second Master, Madam..."
Just when Rong Qiwang was about to ask for a doctor and Mrs. Hu was anxious to refuse, Nanny Sun came running over with a look of joy on her face.
"Old lady... Old lady is awake!"
"Bang—"
Mrs. Hu's face turned pale, and her trembling body caused the dishes on the table to fall to the ground.
The white bowl cracked and shattered, just like Hu's astonished face at the moment.
Rong Qi Wang rushed out the moment he heard that she had woken up, and did not see Hu's deathly-looking face.
"Hurry... help me back!" Mrs. Hu was trembling all over and her teeth were chattering.
After returning to the courtyard, Hu packed her luggage without stopping, like a bandit passing through, turning the house into a mess.
"Madam, what are you doing?" The maid followed her and cleaned up.
"Where is Master Sheng? Where is he?" Hu's face was filled with fear and anxiety.
"The Taoist priest is... praying for the old lady at Yihuayuan..."
…
"Catch... catch him!" This was the first sentence the old lady said when she woke up.
The maids looked at each other, not knowing who she was talking about, and did nothing for the time being.
Sheng Pei secretly retreated behind the maids to avoid the old lady's sight.
Although the old lady opened her eyes, she had not used her hands and feet for a long time. At this moment, she could only move her head and could not speak clearly.
