Chapter 88 The Assassination at Shilipo
My sister married that beast Su Hongan. They were just like my sister, trusting those scholars too much. As a result, they only realized how this beast treated my sister after she died. If it weren't for the fact that he took good care of his niece, and the fact that his niece blamed them for her mother's death, they would have taken their niece back to the Meng family to raise her.
Perhaps, if they had brought their niece back to the Meng family, Su Hongan would not have pushed her out to marry Prince Xiao...
No matter how panicked the Meng family was, since King Xiao's men had already sent the visiting card, everyone in the Meng family had to stay in the hall obediently and prepare to welcome King Xiao's arrival.
Although Prince Xiao was punished by the Emperor with confiscation of property and exile, the imperial edict did not deprive him of his title or reduce his nobility. He was still a general commanding a hundred thousand troops. The renowned Prince Xiao was a nobleman that ordinary merchants like them would never dare to neglect.
"Master, do you think Wanyan has been tortured beyond recognition by Prince Xiao's men?" After hearing from the master that the visiting card received in the evening was from Prince Xiao, Mrs. Meng Yu's tears began to flow like beads from a broken string.
The two daughters-in-law stayed by the old lady's side, one whispering and coaxing her, while the other was busy wiping Yu's tears.
Yu's worry was not completely impossible. After all, King Xiao was not a soft-hearted person. Few of those who had fought on the battlefield and survived were easy to talk to, not to mention that person was King Xiao.
King Xiao, who looks cold but has an even colder heart, announced to the outside world that he was seriously injured and unconscious, but he wanted to bring Su Wanyan back at night. How could such a delicate little girl come back at this time when she has never returned to the Meng family since her mother passed away?
He must have been coerced by King Xiao!
Seeing his wife like this, Meng Yuanliang felt uncomfortable. He patted the back of Yu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, things may not be what we imagined. Prince Xiao said he would bring Wanyan with him, so he should hand over a formal visiting card. Let's not scare ourselves first."
But everyone knew that Prince Xiao was not the kind of person who would do useless work. Except for Su Wanyan who married into Prince Xiao's mansion to bring good luck, their Meng family and Prince Xiao's mansion had no intersection at all.
The Meng family didn’t know if they could get another chance to survive tonight.
——
Compared to the Meng family's trepidation, the atmosphere on Ji Xiaohan and Su Wanyan's side has been "happy and busy" for a long time.
The exile team stopped to rest at Shilipo, outside Jinzhou City. They had two cups of tea to rest. Liu Hongcai's family walked the fastest this time and quickly grabbed the largest open space to rest.
Chen Xinhou and his family fell in the middle of the team. They were a step behind when they took a break and could not find an open space that could accommodate all of them to sit and rest. In the end, they could only reluctantly go to the weeds that were as tall as a person.
They walked into the weeds, which were half a person's height. If you squatted in them, it would be difficult to spot them without looking carefully.
Seeing this, two officers walked over and wanted to drive everyone out, hiding in the weeds and making some small movements so that no one could notice them. If the people ran away, they would not have the time to look for them.
"Hey, come out! Come out right here! You're hiding here, you want to... uh!"
One of the officers waved his sword, trying to drive the man out, but the moment he swung the sword, he felt a chill on his neck, and then liquid spurted out of his throat, and he fell straight down.
