Zhou Hongfa originally wanted Yang Cui to support his daughter Zhou Xiaomei, but seeing Yang Cui's hurried manner, he could only swallow his words.
When Yang Cui returned home, she met Yin Neng, who had come back from Fushan County.
"My lord, Zhang Junlan and those bandits have all been silenced!"
Even though Yang Cui had already guessed that the person behind the scenes wouldn't let those people go, she was still a little shocked when she heard it now.
Do you know who they are?
Yin Neng nodded and said, "One of them is Tang Jingzhi. I have dealt with him before. He is Princess Xilan's man."
"It was her."
Princess Xilan went to such lengths to put herself in a life-or-death situation, clearly for Lin Shikang's sake. It's just unknown whether Lin Huihui knows this.
If Lin Huihui also found out, that would be terrifying.
However, she herself has changed now. At this age, she would still be in elementary school in modern times, but she dares to kill people.
"My lady, back in the capital, she sent Qinglan to plot against you and the general. Now she's a leopard that can't change its spots. We must be even more careful in the future," Xi Hongmei said with great concern.
When the poisoning incident was investigated, Qinglan's identity was confirmed. Not many people knew about it, and the news was kept secret. Moreover, Qinglan is still alive, and Butler Cui is keeping her under control; perhaps she will be useful in the future.
"Her plan just failed, so it's unlikely she'll be moving on to the next one anytime soon, but we still need to be prepared."
Now everyone believes that Cen Xiao is dead, and in their view, this is the most opportune time to take Yang Cui's life.
Cen Xiao.
Yang Cui felt a dull ache in her heart whenever she thought of him. Several months had passed, and why hadn't she received any news from him?
...
After that, Yang Cui's family took even tighter security measures, but outsiders couldn't tell the difference.
The rituals performed here are all done on auspicious days; Cen Xiao's ashes were left out for a whole day before the Taoist priests came to visit.
On that day, the Kuang sisters, Manager Yu, Manager Song and his wife, Mo Zijun, Ren Donghui and other old acquaintances all came to pay their respects.
"Lord of De'an Township".
"You are... Madam Wan."
"Haha, it's kind of you that Lord De'an still remembers me."
Judging from their tone, they seem to have ill intentions.
When Yang Cui took revenge on Liang Xinrong, the reputations of the Liang and Wan families were also affected. Later, when the Liang and Wan families learned of Cen Xiao's identity, they were afraid of him. After Liang Xinrong's death, the Liang and Wan families did not dare to take any revenge. The matter ended with Liang Xinrong's death.
Judging from Madam Wan's current state, could it be because Cen Xiao is dead, so...
"My son, you died so tragically, leaving me, an old man, to bury my son..." Suddenly, a cry broke Yang Cui's thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, a group of strangers rushed in. Leading the way were an elderly couple. If they hadn't been stopped by the family's guards, they would probably have been holding Cen Xiao's ashes and "weeping bitterly" by now.
“Daughter-in-law, Da Niu is dead. Why didn’t you send someone to tell us? Although there was a misunderstanding between us, we are still father and son, and blood is thicker than water.”
Yang Cui then remembered that the old man in front of her was Cen Xiao's biological father, and the old woman was his stepmother, whom she had met once before.
They had come to our door before, but to prevent them from causing trouble again, Cen Xiao secretly dealt with them and subdued them in one go. They never came again after that, and could only watch helplessly as Yang Cui and Cen Xiao drank, ate, and made a fortune.
Yang Cui didn't believe they were truly heartbroken; judging from their appearance, they probably had ulterior motives.
