Chapter 110: Are you interested in the young widow?
The word "little widow" once again left Xie Wanzhou speechless.
After a moment of silence, Xie Wanzhou said unhappily, "Can you please stop calling me a little widow? Does it have anything to do with you whether I am a widow or not?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Luo Ziyuan said truthfully.
"If that's the case, then why do you call me little widow?"
"But it has something to do with you!" Luo Ziyuan said as a matter of course.
Xie Wanzhou: "..."
Seeing Xie Wanzhou like this, Luo Ziyuan said very seriously: "Xie Wanzhou, do you dare to swear that you don't care about the young widow at all?"
Xie Wanzhou did not answer Luo Ziyuan's question, but asked back: "You haven't seen her, why do you care so much?"
Luo Ziyuan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I haven't seen it, but it doesn't matter, I will see it in the future."
Seeing this, Xie Wanzhou rolled his eyes at Luo Ziyuan again and said, "Okay, the focus now is not Shen Ningyuan, but Xie Yumin. He has been silent for a year and suddenly targeted the Shen family. Something must have happened."
Luo Ziyuan frowned and suddenly asked, "Do you think he is eyeing the military power and property of the Shen family?"
Hearing this, Xie Wanzhou sneered and asked instead of answering, "Who among the royal family is not eyeing the Shen family with eager eyes?"
Luo Ziyuan paused, "It seems so."
Then he looked at Xie Wanzhou, winked and asked: "What about you? Are you also eyeing the Shen family? Otherwise, why do you care so much about the young widow?"
Xie Wanzhou choked again, took a deep breath, and cursed angrily: "Luo Ziyuan, if you mention the little widow again...oh no, if you mention Shen Ningyuan again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Luo Ziyuan shrugged and whistled indifferently.
Seeing him like this, Xie Wanzhou lost his temper again.
He asked, "Just tell me, are you having problems with the young widow... oh no, with Shen Ningyuan?"
Damn it, he was also led astray by Luo Ziyuan!
"Not really. It's just that your attitude towards the young widow seems a little strange, so I became interested."
Otherwise, he doesn’t care who Shen Ningyuan is!
After hearing this, Xie Wanzhou was silent for a moment, as if he was pondering Luo Ziyuan's words.
Then, Xie Wanzhou changed the subject, "Forget it, let's talk business."
Xie Wanzhou said solemnly, "My people sent me news that Xie Yumin arranged a killer to assassinate the deceased on the way to the funeral procession at the Marquis' Mansion, but we don't know who his target is."
Luo Ziyuan straightened his attitude and was no longer as casual as before.
He said solemnly: "Old General Shen and Junior General Shen are here, they are most likely the target."
"There were so many people on the funeral procession that it would be hard to trace him back to him," Xie Wanzhou added.
Luo Ziyuan continued: "Eliminate the two main forces of the Shen family in one fell swoop. After he returns to Beijing, he can arrange for his own people to infiltrate the Shen family army."
Hearing this, Xie Wanzhou narrowed his eyes, "I still underestimated him!"
"Xie Wanzhou, I told you from the beginning that Xie Yumin is not an ordinary person. You must be thinking about that little bit of brotherhood."
Luo Ziyuan emphasized his tone, "If you had listened to my advice at the beginning, how could you have ended up like this? Not only did you lose your legs, but you were also deposed as the crown prince, and even Aunt Ning..."
Speaking of this, Luo Ziyuan couldn't help but choke up.
After adjusting his mood, he continued: "Forget it, let's not talk about this!"
Luo Ziyuan looked at Xie Wanzhou and asked word by word: "So Xie Wanzhou, do you still dare to look down on him now?"
Xie Wanzhou did not respond, but lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Xie Wanzhou said in a deep voice: "He will pay the price."
"Why do you think I came down the mountain?" Luo Ziyuan smiled coldly.
Xie Wanzhou raised his head, looked at Luo Ziyuan, and said in a cold voice: "Tonight we must stop Xie Yumin's assassination."
"Okay." Luo Ziyuan nodded.
"Let's go change into night clothes."
Xie Wanzhou stood up and walked towards Luo Ziyuan's room.
Luo Ziyuan was about to catch up, but suddenly noticed that Xie Wanzhou's waist was empty.
Subconsciously, he asked, "Where is the jade pendant Aunt Ning gave you?"
Xie Wanzhou glanced at his waist and said nothing.
Luo Ziyuan was anxious and asked anxiously: "That is the only relic left to you by Aunt Ning. There is only one pair in the world. Who did you give it to?"
"You won't give it to the young widow, will you?"
Hearing this, Xie Wanzhou was stunned for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
He just shifted his gaze and avoided Luo Ziyuan's eyes.
Seeing him like this, Luo Ziyuan was basically certain that the jade pendant was given to Shen Ningyuan.
Then, Luo Ziyuan also fell silent.
After taking a deep look at Xie Wanzhou, Luo Ziyuan said indifferently: "Forget it, let's go intercept the assassination tonight first, and we'll talk about you and the little widow later."
Xie Wanzhou nodded.
After returning to the room with Luo Ziyuan and changing into night clothes, he left Yihonglou.
Along the way, Shen Ningyuan’s figure appeared in Xie Wanzhou’s mind from time to time.
He wanted to kick her out of his mind.
In the end, nothing worked.
-
On the other side, Shen Ningyuan leaned on the chaise longue, lost in thought.
The images of the masked man and Xie Wanzhou kept flashing back in his mind, but he still felt that something was wrong.
Although there was a voice in my heart that kept telling me: the masked man was not Xie Wanzhou.
But the jade pendant in her hand reminded her again and again: it was Xie Wanzhou who was behind this.
Time passed by minute by minute, Shen Ningyuan was still in deep thought, but the sky gradually darkened.
At this time, someone outside the courtyard came with a message: "Is the young lady here? The time is almost up. The Marquis sent this servant over to inform the young lady that the young master and the young lady are about to be buried. The young lady should hurry to the ancestral hall. The Taoist priest will soon start a ritual."
The tone was very impolite.
Hearing this, Lan Yin frowned slightly and said to Shen Ningyuan: “Miss, I will go out and send him away.”
After saying that, Lan Yin opened the door and walked out.
His attitude was not very polite, and he said coldly: "Okay, Madam will come over after she finishes packing, and you go and inform the Marquis."
"yes."
The servant restrained his attitude, bowed and nodded as he walked away.
Seeing this, Lan Yin snorted coldly.
"You are just a bully!"
After a cold snort, Lan Yin closed the door, walked towards Shen Ningyuan, and asked, "Miss, when are we going to the ancestral hall?"
"It's over now, wait for me."
After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan stood up and walked to the dressing table, hiding the jade pendant in the secret compartment under the dressing table.
After confirming that it was secure, Shen Ningyuan turned around and left with peace of mind.
Although she didn't know what Xie Wanzhou wanted to do, she had to keep the jade pendant carefully.
Stepping into the ancestral hall, Shen Ningyuan saw at a glance that the preliminary preparations for the funeral were already ready.
The two coffins were quietly placed in the center of the ancestral hall, firmly tied with thick ropes and sturdy pillars.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan come in, a trace of resentment flashed in Chen's eyes, and she glared at her fiercely.
The thought of how confused I was and how I was schemed against by that bitch Shen Ningyuan made me feel really bad.
The anger in Chen's heart began to rise.
If it weren't for the situation, she would tear this bitch's face apart!
Hearing the footsteps, Ji Zehai turned around and saw that it was Shen Ningyuan who walked in. His eyes immediately became sinister.
Then he looked at the Taoist priest beside him and said, "Master, the time is almost up, please start the ritual!"
After saying this, Ji Zehai and the Taoist looked at each other, with meaningful calculations in their eyes.
