Chapter 52 Zhao Qiang was killed
The next morning, Shengxia looked at Xia Yanjing who was clinging to her and smiled helplessly. He was such an adult but still slept like a child.
Shengxia moved very quietly and tried not to make any noise. Xia Yanjing was tired yesterday and needed more rest.
Today, Shengxia got up an hour later than usual, which was a rare occasion. However, Shengxia was used to exercising on weekdays, so except for that part of the body, there was no discomfort elsewhere.
Shengxia was not in a hurry to exercise. After all, it didn't hurt to take a day off occasionally. He had to ask the kitchen to prepare some nourishing medicinal food for Xia Yanjing.
Xia Yanjing slept until the hour of Si. In fact, Xia Yanjing was woken up by the heat. He had to get some ice, otherwise the summer without air conditioning would be unbearable.
After Xia Yanjing woke up, he felt sore all over, as if he had been beaten. Even so, after getting dressed, he hurried to find Shengxia. At this time, Shengxia was listening to the news reported by his subordinates.
Last night, the second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion died in his concubine's room. His death was horrific, and the concubine was so frightened that he couldn't ask anything. He just kept saying, "Don't kill me."
After his men left, Shengxia held his chin and wondered who had done it. For some reason, Shengxia subconsciously felt that Zhang Mufu had something to do with this matter.
The murderous aura he felt in Zhang Mufufu's shop yesterday must have come from Lan Zhou.
There must not be many people in the world who can do it quietly and in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is one of them. Although he does have such an idea, he has not had time to do it.
Apart from those in the palace, the only ones who could do it were the assassins from the Shadow Pavilion. Now everything was just Shengxia's guess. If it was true, he didn't understand why Lan Zhou was willing to be the husband of an ordinary carpenter.
When Xia Yanjing saw Shengxia, he saw Shengxia sitting in the shade of a tree in a daze, and didn't know what Shengxia was thinking.
"Xia Xia, I'm here." After the close contact last night, Xia Yanjing became bolder. He came behind Sheng Xia and took out the folding fan he carried with him to fan Sheng Xia.
"Yan Jing, now that you're here, there's something I want to discuss with you." Shengxia has never been a shy person.
"What's going on?"
"News came today that Zhao Qiang is dead." Sheng Xia said, then picked up the teacup and drank water, giving Xia Yanjing some time to accept it.
"Ah, is this true?" Xia Yanjing became energetic upon hearing this, and his body no longer felt sore. He immediately sat down next to Shengxia and listened attentively.
"It's true. This matter has been reported to the Dali Temple and it cannot be faked." Shengxia was a little surprised at Xia Yanjing's acceptance.
"Then our eldest brother has a chance, that's great." Xia Yanjing thought of Sheng Yuan first. This was simply like sending a pillow to someone when he was sleepy.
"Hehe, you're fine, very good." Shengxia was a little angry and laughed. He didn't expect that Xia Yanjing's first reaction was to think about his eldest brother's marriage.
"That's great, this is a good opportunity." Xia Yanjing said excitedly.
"Yes, it's a good opportunity. You accompany me to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay condolences today. We must seize this opportunity." Although Shengxia felt that Xia Yanjing was a little out of tune, what he said was not wrong.
In the Wei Dynasty, if a boy's husband died and they had no children, the boy could remarry without any restrictions.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now." Xia Yanjing wished he could fly to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the next second.
"It will be time for lunch soon, so we don't have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat for free." Shengxia was a little helpless.
"Yes, yes, it's not appropriate, hahaha, then let's go there in the afternoon." Xia Yanjing was a little embarrassed. He really didn't want to eat for free.
"Let's go. You haven't eaten for so long. Let the kitchen prepare the meal early today." Shengxia felt that Xia Yanjing's reaction was particularly real and cute.
"This looks too nutritious." Xia Yanjing looked at the table full of nutritious dishes and felt that his dignity as a man was slightly insulted.
"It's okay. Eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon." Shengxia didn't want to answer. He actually felt that it was a bit too much.
On the other side, after Lan Zhou woke up, he saw Zhang Mu still sleeping. He reached out and gently stroked Zhang Mu's eyebrows, his eyes full of affection.
Lan Zhou just kept looking at Zhang Mu like this, not feeling tired, until Zhang Mu seemed to be about to wake up. Lan Zhou immediately lay back in Zhang Mu's arms and pretended not to wake up yet.
After Zhang Mu woke up, he saw Lan Zhou still sleeping. Looking at Lan Zhou's sweet sleeping face, he kissed her lovingly, and Lan Zhou woke up in time.
Lan Zhou rubbed his eyes and pretended to be woken up by Zhang Mu.
"Zhou Zhou, did I wake you up?" Zhang Mu felt a little guilty. Couldn't he control himself a little?
"It's okay, I should wake up soon." Lan Zhou said sympathetically, then pretended to rub his aching waist, revealing his discomfort at the right moment.
"Let me help you press it." The more considerate Lan Zhou was, the more distressed Zhang Mu felt.
"You are so kind, my husband."
"Hehe, it's only natural to be nice to your husband." Zhang Mu felt very happy when Lan Zhou praised her, and she pressed harder.
"Zhou Zhou, take a rest. I'll go cook." Zhang Mu helped Lan Zhou massage for a while, then took the initiative to cook. Mainly because he was afraid that Lan Zhou would be hungry as he hadn't eaten for such a long time.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lan Zhou responded gently and watched Zhang Mu leave.
After Zhang Mu left, Lan Zhou stood up and walked to the window, and saw a flower placed on the wall. Lan Zhou picked up a stone, waved it lightly, and the flower fell down. During the whole process, Lan Zhou's movements were smooth and fluid, and he didn't look like the weak guy just now.
"How dare you bully my people? You're simply courting death." Lan Zhou recalled how Zhang Mu was bullied yesterday, and he only wished he could do it himself, as he was the only one who could bully his people.
Wei Yang knelt blankly in front of Zhao Qiang's mourning hall. Ever since that day when she had physical contact with Sheng Yuan, living under the same roof with Zhao Qiang was like a leech attached to her bones, disgusting to Wei Yang.
The Zhao family is now at its peak. Even though Wei Yang is a prince, he cannot escape from the Zhao family and the title of Zhao Erfu. He has thought about committing suicide.
Wei Yang originally planned to see Sheng Yuan again and talk to his brother. He wanted to kill the man who had tortured him for years with his own hands and then leave this world. He never expected that Zhao Qiang would die like this.
It was really God's mercy that he could get rid of Zhao Qiang in this life. As long as Zhao Qiang was buried, he could leave the Zhao family. Could he start a new life and have the opportunity to rekindle his past relationship with Brother Yuan?
Thinking of this, Wei Yang's heart was excited, and he wished these three days would end as soon as possible.
"It's you. It's all your fault. My son died because of you. You have been married to the Zhao family for four years, but not only did you not give birth to a son for my son, you also killed my son. Why don't you just die?" Xie Zhi looked at her son lying in the coffin and accused Wei Yang without any explanation.
