"Then you just didn't smell it," Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei with a stern face, "So Zhong Mingwei. Are you deliberately smearing and slandering me?"
Zhong Mingwei: “…”
Zhong Mingwei had never felt so helpless before. He was blocked by a 17-year-old girl and couldn't say a word. He had to deny that he smelled it. It seemed like he was deliberately discrediting her. But if he admitted that he smelled it...
Humph. He won't admit it!
He would rather admit that he was a villain who deliberately slandered him. He would never admit that he smelled it...
"Master, are you there?"
When Zhong Mingwei was struggling fiercely in his heart, he heard Pang Yi's voice coming from outside. Zhong Mingwei had never felt that Pang Yi's voice was so beautiful and pleasant before. He immediately put Mei Ya down and said to Pang Yi, "Come in."
"Yes." Pang Yi responded. He led Kong Wenjie in, "Sir, Guard Kong has been ordered by the prefect to stay in our villa for a while."
"Your subordinate greets you." Kong Wenjie was busy bowing to Zhong Mingwei. He then turned to Mei Ya and said, "Your subordinate greets you, Madam."
"Guard Kong is polite. Hurry up and get up," Mei Ya said hurriedly. She turned to Zhong Mingwei and said, "You guys chat first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
Mei Ya thought they were going to talk about serious matters. She didn't want to stay and get involved, so she stood up and was about to leave, but Zhong Mingwei suddenly grabbed her hand and whispered to her, "It's okay, you stay, we'll listen to what's going on."
Ever since the two of them had a long and in-depth talk about the topic of "sharing happiness and hardships" that day, Zhong Mingwei no longer planned to hide anything from Mei Ya, no matter whether it was good, bad, or disgusting, he would no longer hide it from Mei Ya. They were husband and wife, and their relationship was the most intimate in the world, so there was really no need to hide it from Mei Ya. He really didn't want Mei Ya to know these bad things in the past, but Mei Ya would only worry more and speculate more, so he simply stopped hiding it and let Mei Ya know everything.
"Me?" Mei Ya was surprised, then sat back down in a daze, whispering to Zhong Mingwei, "What do you want me to stay and listen to?"
"You'll know soon," Zhong Mingwei said softly to Mei Ya, and then looked at Pang Yi and Kong Wenjie, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes, thank you very much, sir." Kong Wenjie and Pang Yi sat down one after another. Pang Yi poured tea for Kong Wenjie while saying to Zhong Mingwei, "Sir, I'm afraid there will be trouble in Ningguta this time."
"Are they still the criminals and their families involved in the major case from 20 years ago?" Zhong Mingwei's face looked a little gloomy.
"Yes, although thirteen years have passed, those criminals and their surviving relatives have never stopped. The Imperial Guards have been keeping them in Ningguta all these years, so there hasn't been any major chaos," Kong Wenjie continued, sighing, "It was easy to deal with before, but now that the Prince of Pingxi is about to enter the capital, those criminals and their surviving relatives are jumping around, not only in Ningguta, but also contacting all over the Great Zhou. They are really rampant."
"Those criminals and their surviving relatives are not ordinary people. They are all famous families who have been settled in the capital for hundreds of years. Naturally, they have extensive roots. Maybe they have been in contact with the capital all these years. Otherwise, how could they know such confidential news that the Prince of Pingxi is coming to the capital so early?" Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice, while reaching out to pick up the teacup and take a sip. After a pause, he looked at Kong Wenjie again, "Guard Kong, I'm afraid it's not easy for the Imperial Guards to show their strength in Ningguta, right?"
"You are right," Kong Wenjie finally met a kindred spirit. He put the teacup on the table and complained to Zhong Mingwei, "You know, in the eyes of outsiders, the Imperial Guards and the Prince of Pingxi are inseparable. When the late emperor was alive, he appointed the Prince of Pingxi as the leader of the Imperial Guards. Although the Prince of Pingxi served for less than a year before going to the northwest, the Imperial Guards have been stigmatized by the Prince of Pingxi since then. Later, when Your Majesty ascended the throne, he was very wary of the Prince of Pingxi, and he also distrusted our Imperial Guards. It was at that time that Your Majesty set about establishing the Imperial Guards. Later, the Imperial Guards grew stronger and stronger, and even kept pace with the Imperial Guards with a century-old history. It can be seen how alienated Your Majesty is from the Imperial Guards."
