Chapter 187: The Nameless Envelope and the Words Behind It
Half a minute later, Xiao Qinggu's standing posture was completed.
Yue Zhu did not let her rest immediately. After that, she started squatting and walking...
The sun set in the west, and the birds returned to their nests. Yuan Ji took Bailipu away, and Shang Yuwan and the other three went to have dinner.
Xiao Qinggu sat down at the dinner table tremblingly, and finally regained some spirit.
She and Shang Mingqi devoured the food at the table like a whirlwind.
Yue Zhu: “?”
Did Shang Mingqi ever go hungry at the Yue family? You'er seemed to be afraid that he would get food poisoning and never gave him much food.
Shang Yuwan had a calm expression. She had been prepared and had asked the servants to clear the empty dishes from the table and bring back a table of hot dishes.
Xiao Qinggu knew that everyone in the room was from Baijialou, so she didn't care what Yue Zhu thought of her and just ate voraciously again.
Shang Mingqi was also starving, his chopsticks never stopping. The Yue siblings had no idea how much he ate on a typical day, and the food they brought wasn't enough, but he couldn't starve to death.
He was concerned that they were members of the Yue family, so he didn't complain about the lack of food. He was also worried that those people would poison them, as he was not good at poisoning.
Looking at Shang Mingqi's appearance that looked like a starving ghost, Shang Yuwan glared at Yue Zhu coldly.
Yuezhu remained silent and had nothing to say.
After Xiao Qinggu and Shang Mingqi had eaten and drunk their fill, Shang Yuwan and Yue Zhu stopped eating.
The servant cleared the table. Xiao Qinggu glanced at Shang Yuwan, his eyes flashed, and he pulled Shang Mingqi out to digest the food.
Shang Yuwan had endured it for a whole day, and now her face looked like she was about to explode. It would be better for her and Shang Mingqi to avoid him.
After everyone left, Shang Yuwan spoke coldly, "When did this happen?"
"...before returning to Beijing."
"Were you caught, or did you discover it by accident?"
"I discovered it by accident. He was disguised as a beggar and was seen by my people."
"It's Yue Shuang."
"......no."
no?
Shang Yuwan glanced at him and said, "Ever since she was almost bullied by some hooligans, you have arranged for six maids to accompany her."
"I don't know if it was just bad luck, or if someone was deliberately targeting your beloved daughter. Overnight, all six of them vanished, and even their family and friends seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth."
Shang Yuwan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Hasn't Yue Shuang ever cried to you?"
"You, didn't you ever doubt it?"
Shang Yuwan had never really suspected Yue Zhu, so the search for Yue's family was ranked last.
After all, the arrow in the previous life was aimed at killing her and Shang Mingqi. If Xiao Qingxu had not arrived in time to save Shang Mingqi, the child would probably not be able to digest the food outside with Xiao Qinggu now.
If Yue Zhu had discovered Shang Mingqi, why didn't she kill him, but instead sent him to her? If Yue Shuang had discovered Shang Mingqi, why didn't she kill him, but instead hid him in the Yue family?
There were more people watching her, Xiao Qingxu, and Xiao Qinggu than just those few people. Yue Shuang was so bold and reckless, Yue You also kept silent, and even Yue Zhu...
A ridiculous yet pathetic thought emerged in Shang Yuwan's mind: "Commander Yue, are you asking me to spare the Yue family's life?"
Yue Shuang and Yue You might be harboring a sense of luck and pity, but what about Yue Zhu? He had served Emperor Chengming for many years and must have been familiar with his character. His years of experience naturally gave him a clear understanding of the situation and the decisions he should make.
But he did not expose it, nor did he secretly kill Shang Mingqi.
If he wasn't afraid that Shang Yuwan would vent his anger on the Yue family because he had killed him and Shang Mingqi, how could he be so kind?
Shang Yuwan suddenly laughed.
"So, in Commander Yue's mind, I am this kind of person."
In Yue Zhu's mind, was she a person who would be so mentally twisted as to kill someone's entire family just because no one came to her aid?
Yuezhu opened his mouth and wanted to explain.
But he remained silent in the end.
Some words are useless to say too much.
Shang Yuwan originally wanted to thank him, but now it seems that there is no need to say thank you anymore.
He came here with a purpose, so why should she be so sentimental?
After Xiao Qinggu digested his food, he felt sore all over and went to rest early.
Late at night, Shang Yuwan came to see Shang Mingqi, but he didn't expect that the child was still practicing boxing in his own yard.
Shang Yuwan told him that there were Xiao Qingji's people in the princess's mansion, so Shang Mingqi couldn't practice sword in a big way and could only practice boxing.
Shang Yuwan stood in the dark and looked at him quietly.
After not seeing him for a few days, Qi'er's martial arts skills have been getting better and better. However, practicing so hard every day will only backfire.
She looked for a while and was about to walk out, but her ears twitched and she heard the unique footsteps of Yue Zhu, and immediately stopped.
Shang Mingqi pretended not to hear the footsteps that Yue Zhu had deliberately leaked. He kept moving his hands, but he invisibly went to the place where Yue Zhu would appear and punched him hard.
Yue Zhu appeared at the moment when the fist was just thrown, and he dodged sideways with his quick hands and eyes.
When Shang Mingqi saw that his attack missed, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
If he were more powerful, he would be able to defeat Yuezhu.
If only I could grow up faster.
Yue Zhu glanced at him and just as he stretched out his hand, Shang Mingqi took a step back calmly.
The outstretched hand paused, and finally rubbed the fingertips and retracted it. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Go back and rest."
Shang Mingqi saluted silently, then turned around without hesitation.
Yue Zhu watched him enter the house and leave after turning off the lights.
Shang Yuwan watched secretly, and suddenly a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.
What if Yue Zhu wasn't afraid that she would harm the Yue family?
Shang Yuwan quickly killed this idea.
Who is Yue Zhu? How could someone serving Emperor Chengming be so simple?
Shang Yuwan returned to her room silently and found an anonymous letter on the table.
She didn't pick it up immediately, but looked at several windows in the house.
After noticing that there was nothing unusual, she picked it up and opened it to take a look.
[Noble Yue was rescued by the secret guards.]
These short eight characters made Shang Yuwan raise his eyebrows, and a hint of evil appeared in the corners of his slightly raised mouth.
Sure enough, they have already started.
Noble Lady Yue was Xiao Qinggu's nominal mother. If she died, what would Xiao Qinggu do even if he passed all the tests? Wouldn't he still have to postpone the coronation ceremony to observe mourning?
A rough calculation shows that in the places around Snow Wolf Village, someone should be coming to ring the drum to report the incident by now.
She and Xiao Qingxu had investigated carefully and found that the people in those areas of Snow Wolf Village were being exploited severely. In addition, Xiao Qingxu and Xiao Qinggu had been in the spotlight these days. Those people were not without temper. How could they bear it when they heard that the people who exploited them were living such a good life?
The land deed, the private seal, and the witness Mingshu... When the truth comes out, Mingshu can easily drag Xiao Qingxu out to beg for mercy in order to "save his life".
Shang Yuwan walked towards the candlelight and burned the letter to ashes with the flame.
The flickering firelight made her face look eerie.
They set up a stage to perform a play, but it seemed that her gift had not been received yet.
As for the girls' school in Jincheng, should Emperor Chengming have almost finished his investigation? With his suspicions in front of him, how long can Xiao Tong's girls' school survive?
Inside the palace, Emperor Chengming looked at the memorial in his hand with an indifferent look.
"Can't find out?"
The secret guard said respectfully, "Yes. Everything in the academy is normal. Apart from the presence of a Camellia Battalion, there is nothing special."
"How's the school in Kyoto?"
"There's no Camellia Camp. The rest of the situation is the same as at Jincheng Academy. There's no trace."
Emperor Chengming frowned, his eyes deep.
There's only one Shancha Camp? I'm afraid it's just a cover.
Xiao Tong...what did she do behind his back?
Emperor Chengming ordered: "Keep an eye on them. If there is any unusual movement, lead them over there and let them deal with it."
Those kids are all very capable and don't require an old man like him to worry about them.
On the other side, Shang Yuwan was about to go to bed when he suddenly sneezed violently.
Shang Yuwan: “?”
Who is cursing her behind her back?
Xiao Qingxu in Prince Qi's Mansion: "A-choo!"
"I told you it's a little chilly late at night, and I told you to put on some clothes, but you didn't listen. You'll only be happy when she comes back and scolds you to the heavens..."
Lu Heying put the cloak on Xiao Qingxu's head while nagging.
Xiao Qingxu: "......"
Lu Heying must have been cursing him in her heart. After all, it was so late, and Lu Heying still had to stay up with him.
Xiao Qinggu, who was sleeping soundly, felt an itch in his nose and sneezed in a daze, and his almond-shaped eyes opened instantly.
“!”My body hurts so much!
She had finally fallen asleep, so why did she wake up not long after?
