Chapter 192
"Are you alright?" Li Zhiwei wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her. At this moment, she understood that Xu Heming had just saved her.
"It's alright, just leave quickly." Xu Heming frowned. He hadn't expected that someone in Li'an County would want Li Zhiwei dead.
"Hmm!" Li Zhiwei was no longer in the mood to continue shopping.
She felt a lingering fear; the sword had been firmly embedded in a nearby pillar. She didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would have been if it had hit her.
Just now, Qinghua and Qingyue, who were standing next to him, didn't even have time to react.
She had initially blamed Xu Heming for hugging and cuddling her in public.
Back at the Li family home.
Xu Heming didn't dare let Li Zhiwei out of his sight, as the guards who went to chase after the person who released the sword hadn't returned yet.
Xu Heming didn't know whether he had caught the person or not.
"Have you offended anyone in Li'an County?" Xu Heming asked, looking at Li Zhiwei.
"Your Highness, what a question! Isn't the Huo family one of them?" Li Zhiwei said without thinking.
"The Huo family is too busy to bother with finding someone to take your life right now. Besides the Huo family, is there anyone else?" Xu Heming didn't want to speak up for the Huo family, but it was the truth.
"The Cao family, wasn't Cao Yunpeng already sent to the capital? What happened to him?" Li Zhiwei felt angry thinking about that disgusting Cao Yunpeng.
She actually tried to force herself on me, wanting me to be his concubine. I don't know where she got the nerve.
"Besides Cao Yunpeng, does the Cao family have any other influence?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
The Cao family?
After hearing Xu Heming's words, Li Zhiwei thought about it carefully. If the Cao family didn't have any other power, then Madam Cao's brother seemed to be the prefect of Heping County.
Could it be that Madam Cao's brother wants her dead?
Li Zhiwei was uncertain, after all, whether in her past life or this life, she knew very little about Cao Yunpeng.
In her past life, she married into the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion and never left its gates again. In the end, she died tragically in the Lin family.
In this life, if she hadn't returned to Li'an County, and if Cao Yunpeng and Tang Wo hadn't developed feelings for her, they would have remained strangers, just like in their previous life.
“It seems that Cao Yunpeng’s wife, Madam Tang, is the prefect of Heping County, which is not far from here. But Madam Tang seems quite amiable. Now that Cao Yunpeng has been taken to the capital, he wouldn’t target me for that, would he?” Li Zhiwei asked uncertainly.
"How dare a mere prefect try to harm my wife?" Xu Heming frowned, thinking that Tang Youquan, unless he was stupid, would never hire someone to kill.
"Who was that? A few days ago, someone also had An'an tell me that someone wanted to kill me." Li Zhiwei suddenly remembered that strange person who said someone wanted to kill her.
At the time, she suspected it might be the Huo family, but now she realizes it was someone else entirely.
"What? What did Qingchuan do? He didn't handle the situation properly?" Xu Heming didn't expect that someone wanted Li Zhiwei's affairs and had given him a warning beforehand.
"That person must be someone who knows the inside story; he doesn't seem to have any intention of harming me." Thinking of Xun Lang, Li Zhiwei felt that his foolish appearance didn't seem like he intended to kill her.
"Qingchuan!" Xu Heming called out to those behind him, displeased.
"Your Highness!" Qingchuan fawned over Xu Heming, then smiled and gestured to Li Zhi beside him.
"Why didn't you investigate properly about the fact that someone wanted the princess's life?" Xu Heming's expression clearly showed displeasure, feeling that Qingchuan had neglected Li Zhiwei.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I have investigated that man. He is an assassin named Xun Lang. However, he doesn't seem to have any intention to kill the Princess. Moreover, we have been following the Princess around every day and haven't found anyone suspicious." Qingchuan quickly explained.
