“What’s there to be afraid of? As long as Li Tianyou speaks with Jin’an, I’ll have someone spread the word in the marketplace that Li Tianyou has taken a liking to our Jin’an, or rather, that Li Tianyou is making advances towards our Jin’an. In that case, Li Tianyou will have no choice but to marry our Jin’an, right? The Li family is so rich, we should ask for more money, and also make him buy our son a new three-courtyard house in the capital. This house is too small.” Madam Niu said with a dissatisfied expression.
Li'an County
Xun Lang never expected that he would encounter Prince An in Li'an County.
Seeing Prince An reminded him of the two ribs that Prince An had broken.
But wasn't that matter already in the past?
What does he want from me now?
"Xun Lang, how have you been?" Looking at the stunned Li Lang, Xu Heming smiled. His former defeated opponent was here.
"No, Prince An, wasn't that matter already in the past?" Xun Lang asked Xu Heming with a puzzled look.
"Then why don't you think about whether anyone has provoked me recently?" Xu Heming's words made Xun Lang fall into deep thought.
He genuinely couldn't recall doing anything to offend this devil.
Besides, I've been a good person lately, I haven't done anything bad, and I haven't killed anyone I shouldn't have.
"Are you aware of the assassination attempt on Miss Li in the county today?" Xu Heming asked directly, no longer keeping Xun Lang in suspense.
Xun Lang was taken aback when he heard this; he hadn't done any of those things.
"I didn't do it." After Xun Lang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Heming and asked in confusion, "You came to see me because of Miss Li?"
Xun Lang was unaware of Li Zhiwei's affair with Xu Heming. He was simply puzzled as to why Xu Heming would go to such lengths to find him, all for the sake of a woman.
"My queen has been assassinated, and I can't even seek justice for her?" Xu Heming said with dissatisfaction.
"You? Marry a daughter of the Li family? Don't be ridiculous." Xun Lang thought, surely those places in the capital that value social standing wouldn't allow Xu Heming to marry a Miss Li?
"That's not important. Do you know who the assassin was?" Xu Heming asked Xun Lang.
"It wasn't me!" Xun Lang quickly repeated himself, afraid that Xu Heming would doubt him again.
“But I heard that you sent a message to my princess saying that someone wanted her dead. I want to know who that person is,” Xu Heming said bluntly.
"Your Highness, I kindly delivered a message to your princess, but as for who that person was, I cannot say." Xun Lang was also a little puzzled. Could it be that the person had invited someone else?
Otherwise, even though we didn't take any action, Miss Li almost encountered danger.
"Name your terms," Xu Heming tempted.
"I don't know. You know people like us usually don't ask where someone comes from." Xun Lang shook his head. He really didn't know the person's identity.
“However, I didn’t take this job in Li’an County, but in the capital. The person you’re looking for should be in the capital,” Xun Lang added, out of consideration for Li Tianyou’s past saving him.
Whether Xu Heming can find that person is up to his own skill.
"Have you seen that person?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
Do the people of the capital want Li Zhiwei dead?
But the Liu family has already been dealt with, hasn't it?
Could it be that someone else wants Li Zhiwei dead?
