Marquis of Changping's Mansion.
A middle-aged man crawled inside, shouting, "Oh no! Prince! A large army is attacking!"
Chen Si's expression suddenly changed, with a hint of panic. "How is this possible?! Why didn't anyone report this to me?"
The confidant's voice trembled, "No, I don't know. I heard the people outside shouting that the Marquis is back! He's not dead at all!"
Shen Si's eyelashes trembled, his face full of fear, and he tightly grasped the sword at his waist, as if he had grabbed the last straw to save his life.
"Impossible! I saw my father's body with my own eyes, and his favorite ring was still on his thumb..."
Yuan Xian was also standing by and was shocked when she heard the news.
She had only been the mistress of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion for a few months!
When she learned that her father-in-law was dead, her first reaction was to capture Ning Yu and cut her into pieces, but she was nowhere to be found.
It turns out that my father-in-law had already made arrangements!
The confidant, seemingly thinking of something, warned, "But the body we found is so badly damaged that we can't even see the face. My Lord! Let's escape to the capital. We've done so much for the Emperor, he should protect us."
A sarcastic smile played on Chen Si's lips. "The Emperor is such a ruthless and suspicious person. He won't show up. So, why not fight! Maybe there's still a chance."
"Send someone to send the Crown Prince's wife and Jing'er away immediately..."
Yuan Xian was deeply moved and felt a little reluctant to leave Chen Si. "What are you going to do?"
The confidant suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and lowered his head to look at his chest in disbelief.
An arrow had pierced his chest at some point, and blood was gushing out.
As the confidant fell, he glanced behind him.
I saw a man in black clothes sitting high on a horse, his eyes were cold and strange, he was holding a bow and arrow, the bowstring was trembling slightly.
The confidant's eyes suddenly widened, "...it's the Marquis of Changping..."
The sudden death of their confidant frightened Shen Si and Yuan Xian so much that their faces turned pale. They didn't expect Shen Zongyu to come so quickly.
Shen Zongyu dismounted and walked towards Shen Si with great strides, looking at him with disdain. "What do you have to say?"
The overwhelming pressure made Shen Si almost unable to breathe, and he subconsciously knelt down and begged for mercy, but his pride did not allow him to do so.
And he knew his father would not let him go.
But he wanted to live.
Shen Si gritted his teeth, drew the sword from his waist, and stabbed Shen Zongyu when he was not paying attention, with the sword tip sharp.
But the man did not dodge at all. He had already noticed it and dodged it by slightly turning his body.
Next second.
A sword pierced through Shen Si's chest, and a bloody hole suddenly appeared.
He raised his foot and kicked Shen Si hard in the abdomen, sending him flying far away.
Shen Zongyu looked down at him, his tone as cold as ice. "Boss Shen, have you learned martial arts like a dog?!"
Chen Si struggled to get up, a trace of scarlet blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. "I beg you, father, to spare my wife and children for the sake of our long-standing friendship..."
Shen Zongyu was silent for a while, "...Yes."
A trace of regret flashed through Shen Si's heart, and the scene of Shen Zongyu teaching him personally emerged in his mind.
But he had long been blinded by greed.
He was the one who felt sorry for his father.
Shen Si used all his strength to say, "...be careful of the emperor."
Yuan Xian's pupils shrank slightly and she collapsed to the ground. She never expected that Shen Si would die in front of her eyes.
Shen Zongyu glanced at Yuan Xian coldly, his voice icy, "Since Chen Si has pleaded for you, then you can take Jing'er and leave the mansion on your own."
Yuan Xian was unwilling to give in, but she could only kneel down and said, "Thank you, my Lord."
Shen Zongyu glanced at the lifeless corpse at his feet and paused slightly.
"Wei Cheng, tell someone to bury him properly."
\"yes!\"
Wei Cheng knew in his heart that although the Marquis seemed ruthless, he was actually affectionate.
Xinghua Village.
After the three pink and tender little balls had eaten their fill, they burped one after another and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Pingping and Anan can now run and jump, no longer need help from others, and can communicate in simple conversations.
Pingping and An'an pried themselves up from the rocking cradle and peeked inside. Pingping blinked her big eyes and asked, "Mom, when will my brothers and sisters learn to talk?"
Ning Yu had a faint smile on her face and said softly, "Pingping also took eight or nine months to speak, and the same should be true for his brothers and sisters."
An An stretched out her fingers and carefully poked his cheek, which was very soft. She pinched herself, which was also soft.
Ning Yu couldn't help but smile when she saw An An like this.
The image of Shen Zongyu unconsciously appeared in his mind, and a hint of sadness appeared on his brow. The Marquis had been gone for more than three months.
But she still had no news about Shen Zongyu.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this time, Yue Xing walked over with a look of joy on her face. "Madam, the Marquis has already captured the capital! He has sent people to welcome him."
At this time, Wei Cheng also walked in and said, "Madam, let's pack up and leave now."
It was not until Ning Yu saw the prosperous and familiar capital city in front of him that he came back to his senses.
I thought she would never come back to the capital, but unexpectedly, she came back after all.
Ping Ping and An An's soft voices came to my ears, "Wow! It's so lively outside!"
\"Mother, is this the capital?\"
