Chapter 489 Duan Rongshi is completely dead, Luo'er is the widow?
Zhuiyu covered his buttocks, threw down his wine glass, and ran away.
"Sir, I don't want to. My butt is practically covered in calluses—"
This remark immediately drew laughter from everyone in the courtyard.
Even the sparrows were laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Duan Rongshi shook his head.
Standing to the side, Nangong Di smiled and revealed the truth: "What a simpleton."
"At this rate, when will I ever be able to marry Miss Sparrow?"
Li Qinglu nodded repeatedly in deep agreement.
"Like me, Que'er was a late bloomer when it came to love. If he continues to be so unreliable, I'm afraid he won't be able to get married in five years."
Duan Rongshi: "You know you're a late bloomer?"
His voice carried a faint hint of sorrow.
Others might not be able to tell, but how could Li Qingluo not?
She gave an awkward laugh: "Ha, haha."
"Well, it's getting late. I'm a bit tired these past few days, so I'll head back to my room now."
"Master, Senior Sister Jinhua, please enjoy your drinks and food with Ah Shi."
Li Qingluo got up and quickly left.
They didn't even give Duan Rongshi a chance to suggest going back to the room together.
Seeing this, Granny Zheng quickly got up and followed.
"Young lady, shall this old servant escort you back to your room and help you with your washing and grooming?"
Finally, Granny Zheng seized the opportunity and quickly helped Li Qingluo leave happily.
Upon returning to Tangdi Residence, Li Qingluo stopped in her tracks as soon as she entered the courtyard.
She glanced at Granny Zheng secretly.
Granny Zheng nodded slightly.
The two pretended to walk casually toward the bedroom, but as soon as they entered the room, a long sword was pointed at Li Qingluo's snow-white neck.
Before Zheng Mama could even utter a sound of "Ah!", she was knocked unconscious to the ground by a chop to the neck.
The candlelight inside the room suddenly lit up with a 'boom,' flickering and illuminating the room.
Li Qingluo looked at the guard in front of her, then at the old acquaintance sitting in a wheelchair not far away—Zongzheng Wuheng.
Li Qingluo: "It's you?"
"what you up to?"
Her face showed a hint of nervousness, as if she had not expected Zongzheng Wuheng's sudden appearance.
Zongzheng Wuheng gave a cold snort: "Miss Li, how have you been?"
Zongzheng Wuheng stared at the woman he hadn't seen for a year and several months with a cold look in his eyes, and all the memories of the humiliation he had suffered flooded back into his mind.
He crushed the teacup in his hand, letting the blood flow freely without feeling any pain.
"Shouldn't I be asking you why you suddenly appeared in Nan'an, the imperial capital of my Great Chu?"
"The Princess Consort of the Great Liang!"
"Oh, I forgot. Miss Li has been engaged but has not yet married Duan Rongshi, so she cannot yet be called Princess Consort of Su."
"However, you dared to swagger into the capital of my Great Chu with your entourage and even forge your travel permits. What crime should a man from Liang be charged with!"
As Zongzheng Wuheng slammed his hand angrily on the table, Li Qingluo shrank back in fear.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow: "I never expected that I would be discovered by you after only half a day in Nan'an."
"Zongzheng Wuheng, this is indeed the territory of your Great Chu. Now the wheel of fortune has turned, and it is finally my turn to fall into your hands!"
"However, I don't care about Princess Consort Su."
"Does the dignified Sixth Prince only gather half the information? Doesn't he know that I am not only a female merchant, but also have a husband who has moved in with me?"
Li Qingluo's eyes, which had been slightly flustered, suddenly turned sharp and ruthless as she looked up.
His tone shifted from trembling with fear to playful mockery in an instant.
With a swift movement, she dodged Zongzheng Wuheng's sword in the blink of an eye.
Then, without waiting for her to make a move, Granny Zheng jumped up from the ground.
Granny Zheng's skills have improved considerably over the past year.
Li Qingluo rushed to the bedside and drew her Biluo sword.
She drew her sword and charged toward Zongzheng Wuheng.
As he threw the dart, she quickly deflected it with her sword, and then, taking the opportunity, raised her wrist and shot the hidden arrow from her sleeve at Zongzheng Wuheng.
Zongzheng Wuheng turned his head to dodge, but heard a scream behind him.
He then realized that Li Qingluo, this cunning woman, hadn't intended to shoot him with her hidden arrows at all.
Her true target was her own bodyguards!
Before Zongzheng Wuheng could react to the guard falling to the ground, Li Qingluo's Biluo sword was already at his neck.
"Zongzheng Wuheng, you are still as arrogant as ever."
"You've fallen for my tricks so many times already, why don't you ever learn your lesson?"
"Although you have returned to the Great Chu, and Nan'an is your territory, do you really think you can capture me so easily?"
"Furthermore, Your Highness the Sixth Prince of Great Chu, how do you know that I didn't deliberately lure you here?"
She smiled slightly.
Zongzheng Wuheng's face turned pale: "You—"
His chest heaved violently with anger, but then slowly calmed down.
"This is Nan'an. If anything happens to me here tonight, do you think you can get away with it?"
"Li Qingluo, although you are treacherous and cunning, and your methods are indeed ruthless and vicious, you can forget about deceiving me today."
"What 'marrying into the family' thing? It's just a facade you use to conceal your true identity!"
"I might as well tell you some more good news."
"Your true love, that Duan Rongshi, is already dead on the battlefield where your Great Liang clashed with the Western Regions."
"I have already sent people to investigate the truth of the matter, and it is absolutely true and cannot be faked."
"Now his coffin and memorial tablet have been escorted back to the capital of Daliang by his deputy generals and soldiers."
"In at most half a month, news of his death will be known throughout the world."
"The world will surely cheer and celebrate for such a bloodthirsty and brutal god of death."
"And you, I have come here today specifically to congratulate you. Congratulations on not yet officially marrying him, and now you no longer need to be a widow."
Seeing the incredulous and pained expression on her face, Zongzheng Wuheng finally felt a sense of relief.
That's why he rushed to see her tonight.
He just wanted to know if this vicious and ruthless woman could truly feel heartache for the death of someone she cared about.
Because he had already confirmed Duan Rongshi's death, he directly denied in his heart that Li Qingluo had a husband who had married into her family.
Knowing she was bluffing, and this was Nan'an, could she really turn the world upside down?
My feet are rotting and infested with maggots, making me completely disabled, all thanks to her!
He barely escaped with his life, and now it's her turn to fall into his hands and suffer the same pain he endured!
No, she must repay a thousand times, a hundred times, to quell the hatred in her heart!
Zongzheng Wuheng sneered.
"Stop struggling, Li Qingluo."
"Do you really think that I, the prince, have only brought one guard with me today?"
"I knew long ago that you had many experts around you, so how could you have come unprepared?"
After saying that, he quickly raised his hand and flicked away the Azure Sword with his fingers, which were wearing two finger cots.
He then shouted, "Guards! Seize this enemy spy for me!"
