Chapter 189 Who is it?
Xiao Tu said lazily, "I see three things in her: stirring up trouble, harboring ulterior motives, and one more..."
Her beautiful eyes turned cold as she looked at the man, "Dongling spy!"
Ning Cuo raised her charming eyes slightly, "He is the King of Dongling's man."
Xiao Tu murmured softly, "It's him, but I didn't expect him to come so soon. It seems that Prince Dongling already knows about the death of Princess Rongchang."
She glanced at the man and said, "Let's go to that Madam Fang. I want to see how they plan to deal with me next..."
The night grows darker, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and there is a small square courtyard.
In the candlelit room, Madam Fang looked distracted from time to time.
At this moment, a man in a green official robe walked in. He was about thirty years old and quite handsome.
But there were dark circles under his eyes, and his spirit seemed a little weak, which was a symptom of someone who had been addicted to alcohol and sex for a long time.
After he entered the room, he saw Madam Fang inside and immediately said with a nonchalant smile, "Madam, why are you back so early? Didn't you have dinner at your good sister's house?"
When Madam Fang saw him, she immediately stepped forward nervously, but the next moment, her expression suddenly changed to an ugly state.
She said coldly, "Zhang Qu, aren't you going to the government office to report today? Why do you smell like a woman's rouge and powder?"
Zhang Qu felt a little guilty when he heard this, and laughed, "After finishing the report, since it was still early, we went to the restaurant to have a few drinks. Don't think too much about it, it's a formal drinking place."
Madam Fang sneered angrily, "You're wearing women's makeup in a proper place. Do you think I, Xiao Fang, am a fool?"
Zhang Qu saw this and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand, "My lady, don't be angry. The smell on my body might have been accidentally picked up by a maid who served wine. I swear, I have absolutely not done anything wrong today.
Besides, think about it carefully, it's broad daylight, even if your husband is a drunkard and a womanizer, I wouldn't go to a brothel in broad daylight, right?"
Madam Fang was skeptical, "Really?"
Zhang Qu hurriedly said, "Seriously, seriously, I knelt down and swore an oath last time, and you still don't believe me?"
As he spoke, he coaxed the person to sit on the chair, and began to massage his back and shoulders.
Madam Fang finally believed it and said, "I don't think you would dare!"
Zhang Qu immediately smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. I am counting on you to achieve great success. I will never dare to do anything to let you down again."
Upon hearing this, Madam Fang finally remembered the important matter. She grabbed her husband's hand and said, "Zhang Qu, tell me the truth. When the prince assigned you the task, did he ever tell you that Xiao Tu, the daughter of the Xiao family, had an affair with the current Governor Ning?"
Zhang Qu was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No!"
Madam Fang's expression changed and she said, "That's bad."
Zhang Qu was startled. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Madam Fang looked uneasy. "Today I went to the Xiao family and unexpectedly met the current Governor Ning. He and Xiao Tu seemed to have a very close relationship.
Later I learned that the Queen Mother issued an order today, divorcing Xiao Tu from Prince Yu, and on the same day, she was granted marriage to Governor Ning."
Zhang Qu was also shocked when he heard this, "How could this happen?"
Madam Fang's expression was also very unhappy. "How would I know? Didn't you say that Prince Dongling asked you to do something? Didn't he tell you such important news?"
Zhang Qu was very embarrassed. Prince Dongling asked him to do something, but that was just his boast.
In fact, it was the Prince of Dongling who was being met with by him with a knife at his neck.
However, when he heard the other party's promise of gold, silver, jewelry, wealth and glory, he agreed to the other party's conditions on the spot!
"The prince didn't tell me in detail. Maybe he doesn't know either. After all, didn't the decree granting the marriage just come down today?"
Madam Fang frowned, "Whether the prince knows or not, it is a huge trouble for us."
Zhang Channel, "What does Madam mean?"
"Lord Ning is going to marry a daughter of the Xiao family. Xiao Tu will surely be surrounded by many experts to protect her. How could we dare to kill her?"
Zhang Qu reacted, "Yes,"
Madam Fang said with some fear, "Not only that, she is going to marry Duke Ning, and now she is officially the Duke's wife, the Thousand Years Princess. How dare we touch her?"
Zhang Qu also became afraid, "Yes, it's not so bad if Xiao's daughter is the Jade Prince's Consort. We can do it secretly so that no one will notice. But now she is going to marry Ning Dugong.
I heard that this man is so powerful in the capital, and he is extremely cruel and ruthless that all the officials in the court have given up and no one dares to offend him. How can we afford to offend such a person? "
"Husband, you are right, that's why I said it was troublesome."
"So, what should we do now?"
"For now, we can only give up."
"How can this be possible? We have been paid. If we don't do it, King Dongling will not let it go."
"My lady, although Governor Ning is a formidable man, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Whether we will enjoy a comfortable life in the future or continue to suffer hardships like before, it all depends on you, my lady."
"But my husband, even the greatest wealth must be enjoyed with life!"
"I know, but now the situation is beyond our control. If the Xiao family doesn't die, then my husband and I will be the ones to die!"
Madam Fang also understood, "Well, I get it, but this matter can't be rushed, let's report it first!"
Zhang Qu nodded, "That's right, I'll go now."
Madam Fang grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "When you go over there, explain the situation to them as serious as possible and how difficult our situation is. Tell them that it's impossible to kill the Xiao Tu family. The most I can do is trick them into taking them and tell them to do it themselves!"
Zhang Qu's eyes lit up. "Madam is really thoughtful. Let them kill them. It's none of our business."
Madam Fang nodded. "We also need to explain to them that we need their assistance and ask them to send some people over so that I can take action at any time."
Zhang Qu responded, "Don't worry, my lady, I'll remember it. I'll go now."
Madam Fang stood up and said, "Then go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for your news at home."
One person hurried out, and the courtyard returned to silence.
Under the bright moonlight, on the roof of green bricks and green tiles, two figures stood there silently, holding hands.
Xiao Tu said coldly at this moment, "It seems that these two people don't know much information, and their purpose is not surprising. However, to find these two people so quickly and arrange for them to come to my house, it seems that King Dongling has put a lot of thought into it!"
Ning Cuo hugged her slender waist, his lips curled up, "Prince Dongling knows that you are my woman, and naturally he also knows that you have someone protecting you. Asking these two to sneak into your house will make it easier to succeed."
Xiao Tu smiled a little coldly, "It's indeed a good idea, but it's hard for him~"
As she spoke, she leaned into the man's arms and said coldly with her red lips, "Let's go and see where this person is going to report the news..."
