Chapter 196
"No need, I really don't want to go out. If you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it." Li Zhiwei shook her head firmly, thinking to herself that she had long since seen enough of the coldness and indifference of people outside.
If there was anything she truly couldn't bear to part with in Li'an County, it was every blade of grass and every tree in the Li family estate, all of which had grown up alongside her since childhood.
However, these things cannot be taken to the capital.
"I don't have anything to do." Xu Heming came to Li'an County specifically for Li Zhiwei.
Now, he naturally hopes to have more time to spend with Li Zhiwei. For this reason, his own son, Xu Qingshi, has asked Mo Yu to bring Li Zhiwei closer to him.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Qingsong rushed in and whispered something in Xu Heming's ear.
Xu Heming frowned. They hadn't caught anyone?
Li Zhiwei watched the two whispering to each other with curiosity.
I don't understand what the two of them are talking about.
Then I thought, Xu Heming is usually very busy, maybe it's some official business?
"Go check if Xunlang is still in Li'an County." Xu Heming thought that Li Zhiwei had told him that Xunlang had warned him that someone wanted her dead.
Xun Lang may seem carefree and irresponsible on the surface, but he always manages to kill without leaving a trace.
It's truly impossible to find any flaws.
Thinking of this, Xu Heming looked at Li Zhiwei, not understanding why Xun Lang was willing to do Li Zhiwei this favor.
"What do you want with him?" Li Zhiwei asked anxiously, since Xun Lang didn't seem like the kind of person who was particularly powerful.
After all, when he first came to the Li family, he was discovered by Qingchuan.
How could someone like that be the murderer who killed himself?
What Li Zhiwei didn't know was that when Xun Lang came to the Li family, he deliberately tried to attract the attention of Qingchuan and the others.
After all, the Li family had done him a favor.
He's just here to deliver a message, not to kill anyone.
Moreover, he also really enjoys this game of pretending to be weak.
This makes it easy for people to lower their guard against him.
Just like now, Li Zhiwei wouldn't think that Xun Lang was a ruthless killer in the martial arts world.
"Why are you so nervous? I just wanted to ask him a few questions." Xu Heming was a little annoyed. Who was he doing all this for?
Li Zhiwei, however, seemed as nervous as if she were about to settle accounts with her lover.
Thinking of this, Xu Heming felt displeased. Who was he doing all this for?
"Don't hurt him. He didn't do anything to me. He's a good person." Li Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that Xu Heming meant no harm.
After all, she wasn't the kind of person to repay kindness with enmity.
Xun Lang only came to deliver a letter; it's really not enough for Xu Heming to retaliate against him.
"I understand!" Xu Heming replied, but he felt very uncomfortable inside.
"Qinghua, Qingyue, protect the princess well. I'm going out for a bit." Xu Heming was still a little worried and decided to go check on her himself.
After all, it was no small matter for that person to want Li Zhiwei's life.
She's his wife, he has to protect her.
"You go ahead with your work, I won't leave the manor, nothing will happen." Li Zhiwei felt that she was safe in the Li family.
However, she also guessed that Xu Heming was probably going to catch the person who released the sword.
At this moment, Chun Tao came into the courtyard, bowed to Li Zhiwei, and said, "Miss, Madam said that she will have lunch with Uncle at noon, and asked you to prepare. Uncle is planning to return to Qujing."
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit." Li Zhiwei hadn't expected her uncle to be going back so soon, but considering they were about to return to the capital, it wasn't surprising that her uncle wanted to go back first.
