Chapter 98 There's an Assassin (1/2)



Chapter Ninety-Eight

Hearing this voice, Liu Ming wasn't embarrassed. He just smiled and said to Wei Herui, "Young Master Wei, why don't you come to the manor to rest for a while?"

Liu Ming thought to himself, "I don't know how the Wei family takes care of their child. They've ruined such a good child. If I didn't know this young master Wei, we wouldn't even be able to get through the gates of the Prince An's mansion today."

They might even be treated like beggars and kicked out.

"Alright, I'll rest here for a while." Wei Herui was starving and thought it would be good to replenish his strength at the Prince An's residence.

But if Xu Qingshi isn't in the manor, where else could he have gone?

Liu Ming quickly had someone bring out some snacks suitable for children of Wei and Rui's age.

Fortunately, because of the young master Xu Qingshi, the manor usually has plenty of food on hand.

The masters in the manor were always kind, so Liu Ming wasn't worried that giving this young master of the Wei family food would displease them.

Wei Herui's eyes lit up when he saw the food being served. He thought to himself, "This Prince An's residence is really nice. It's a pity that Xu Qingshi isn't here."

Otherwise, living here would certainly not mean mistreating oneself.

Thinking of this, Wei Herui felt a little down.

"Young Master Wei, is it that these things don't suit your taste?" Liu Ming asked with a smile when he saw that Wei Herui was suddenly unhappy.

"No, the food at your Prince An's residence is delicious. I just missed Xu Qingshi. I didn't expect him to be away." Wei Herui said, taking another bite of a small meatball, thinking to himself, "Damn Xu Qingshi, why isn't he here?"

"Then when the young master returns to the manor, I'll have him invite Young Master Wei over to play," Liu Ming replied with a smile, seemingly unaware that Wei Herui and Xu Qingshi were not on good terms.

"Steward Liu, may I borrow some space in the manor to wash up?" Wei Herui asked somewhat awkwardly, looking at his clothes.

"Of course, this way please, Young Master Wei." Liu Ming smiled and agreed, then had someone lead him to the guest courtyard, and also sent a servant to fetch a set of Xu Qingshi's clothes for Wei Herui.

Then, he told the old princess about it.

"You did a good job. You should also send someone to the Wei family to let them know, otherwise they might be frantically searching for the child later," the old princess said kindly.

The adults didn't take the children's fights to heart.

If we don't help this child today, then let's just consider it a good deed.

Liu Family

Xu Heming looked at the gold bars that had been dug up, which had already piled up quite a bit outside the courtyard.

Liu Zongcheng, unable to wait any longer in the front yard, jumped up and rushed to the back yard.

I felt both scared and nervous.

Those things can't be exposed to the light.

"You old codger? What's your hurry? I told you to go to the palace to ask the Emperor to stand up for you, and you won't go?" Lou Shi chased after Liu Zongcheng with dissatisfaction.

She was puzzled. The backyard was just his pile of waste paper. Could those people really burn it?

When Liu Zongcheng arrived at his courtyard as quickly as possible, he saw a pile of gold stacked outside the house.

Liu Zongcheng was dumbfounded—his gold!

We've been discovered!

Oh no, we've been found out!

Liu Zongcheng stumbled!

He collapsed to the ground!

My back was sweating profusely, and my mind was completely blank.

"What are you doing sitting on the ground, old man?" Lou Shi, who was in a hurry to catch up, first saw Liu Zongcheng sitting on the ground. She wanted to help Liu Zongcheng up, but found that Liu Zongcheng was staring blankly at a certain place.

Lou wanted to help Liu Zongcheng up, but she was willing but unable to. Frustrated, Lou followed Liu Zongcheng's gaze and looked behind her.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, I was shocked to see a pile of gold.

How could her family have so much gold?

Wasn't this courtyard a place the master used to forbid them from coming to?

Lou stared blankly at Liu Zongcheng, who was standing to the side with a dazed look in his eyes.
