It was unclear whether this man was pretending to be deaf and dumb, or if he truly couldn't speak. Zhong Qin and the others had interrogated him all night, but he hadn't uttered a single word. Now, facing Wang Yanzhou's questioning, his face was filled with disdain. Disdain would have been fine, but no matter what he was asked, he would only hum.
One of the people Tang Chen hated the most in his life was the kind of person who, even if you spoke to him nicely, wouldn't listen and would just go on and on about it: "Oh my god, I have such a bad temper! Why are you grumbling when I'm talking to you nicely? You're not a pig, are you asking for a beating?"
After looking up and down at the plainly dressed woman in front of him who was cursing, he pouted his lips at the edge of her skirt and spat out a mouthful of unknown liquid: "Pooh!"
Tang Chen's face twisted as he took a quick step back, glaring at the assassin before running off to change. Wang Yanzhou sneered before revealing his true colors. "You're quite stubborn, but it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll always find out. Nianqing, send this courageous brother to the dungeon. This is the first time my dungeon has been so bustling."
When it comes to the underground, Liang Shuyi's back becomes hairy. He tortured A Yuan to such an extent. If this man were to go down there, he would probably not be able to endure that kind of punishment. "...Aren't you afraid that he will commit suicide?"
Wang Yanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. Since he's being stubborn, if he can keep his word, I'll be convinced by him. Nianqing, take him down. I'll go see Tang Chen."
"yes."
As soon as Wang Yanzhou left, Qiu Liang followed him with a huff. Feng Lai watched Qilin Guard leave and followed him quietly.
When Wang Yanzhou arrived, Tang Chen had just changed her skirt at lightning speed, ready to go deal with the rude assassin. As she walked out the door, she bumped into his arms. Wang Yanzhou took the opportunity to tease Tang Chen, then touched the dark circles under her eyes with some heartache: "Look at your eyes, I know everything about last night. I haven't protected you well these days."
Tang Chen pouted and said with a smile: "Oh, why are you saying this? I'm fine, don't worry."
Tang Chen glanced around and happened to see Qiu Liang and Feng Lai behind Wang Yanzhou. He felt a little embarrassed and quickly let go and said, "Do you have any clues about who came to my house last night?"
Wang Yanzhou replied, "Boss Hua has done some research and found a few people with similar Qinggong skills, but none of them have any motives. It's even more far-fetched to say they were bribed."
Tang Chen said somewhat disappointedly, "So, there's no news? Well, if what he wants is still with me, he will definitely come again. I'll just sit back and wait."
After saying that, Tang Chen changed the subject and focused his attention on Qiu Liang: "Qiu Liang, what have you thought about that matter?"
Qiu Liang was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "...Qiu Liang still wants to be with Madam."
Tang Chen suggested, "Young man, you have good taste. I like you very much. But, the treatment at the princess's place might be better than mine."
Feng Lai's eyes lit up when she heard Tang Chen speaking up for her. She didn't have any particular feelings about this Qilin Guard; she simply thought he was skilled in martial arts, straightforward, and interesting. So, she wanted to get to know him better, perhaps even make a friend.
Qiu Liang didn't seem to realize the deep meaning in Tang Chen's words, and just repeated: "Unless Madam dies, Qiu Liang will always be your secret guard."
Tang Chen was a little touched and asked, "Wow, Yanzhou, how come all our Qilin Guards can talk?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "Haha, how do you think they got this reputation?"
Tang Chen gave a thumbs up and said, "Thirty-two likes for you and Nianqing!"
Feng Lai, who was standing aside with a lonely look, saw that Qiu Liang didn't even look at him, and didn't want to make himself bored here: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Wang Yanzhou said, "Well, you're tired after this night, go back and have a good rest."
...After Wang Yanzhou let Qiu Liang go back to rest, he took this opportunity to talk to Tang Chen a little more and stay a little longer. However, Tang Chen had become addicted to her matchmaking role recently. Wang Yanzhou finally came back, and she couldn't stop talking about Feng Lai and Qiu Liang.
"Am I a very successful matchmaker?"
Wang Yanzhou said that marriage is the most difficult thing to predict. If there is a destiny, all it takes is a matchmaker to achieve a happy marriage. If there is no destiny, even if they are forced to be together, it will ultimately be torture for both of them: "Qiuliang has his own ideas. If you are too deliberate, it will have the opposite effect."
Tang Chen said thoughtfully, "Really? But luckily I asked him to accompany the princess yesterday, otherwise something really bad would have happened. Even I don't know the secret passages in our mansion very well, especially the ones in the hot springs. How did he know about them?"
This question really stumped Wang Yanzhou. The secret passages in the Hot Spring Villa were very old and had long been unused. Aside from him, Wang Nianqing, Zhong Qin, and the others, no one else in the Qingliang Palace should have known about them. "...Perhaps, when I caught A Yuan's tail, I got too carried away."
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and speculated: "You mean, there are other people in the mansion?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded slightly and added, "Not only that, that person must be very familiar with the layout of the mansion."
Speaking of someone familiar with the affairs of the Wang Mansion and the Hot Spring Villa, Tang Chen's mind flashed with the image of Wang Qin. His previous malicious slander against her, coupled with some strange things she had witnessed, made her doubt this man's intentions. "What do you think about Uncle Wang's incident earlier?"
Judging from this alone, Wang Qin is indeed very suspicious. But in reality, he maliciously slandered Tang Chen because A Yuan implicitly and explicitly implied that Tang Chen was unfaithful to Wang Yanzhou and had bad behavior. As for some of the other things, he also did them because of A Yuan: "Wang Bo was a bit talkative. I later investigated and found that it was A Yuan who set him up, not him."
Tang Chen held his forehead and thought, "There are so many people in this mansion, I really don't know where to start investigating."
Wang Yanzhou gently patted Tang Chen's forehead and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will arrange for someone to help. All you need to do is stay safe."
The people who caused trouble in Qingliang Valley have not been found yet. Xie Zhuangshui, who knew all this in the small town outside Zhiyoulin, is in a good mood at the moment.
Xie Zhuangshui was mocking the things happening in Qingliang Valley with Xiao Liang and the others, and by the way, he also thanked those troublemakers for helping them cause trouble for Wang Yanzhou.
