“Why did the Yan family send someone to assassinate you?” Shen Yijia’s face was tense, and her eyes were cold.
She was naturally not narcissistic enough to think that the other party was here for her.
However, her beautiful husband had never even been to the Wu Kingdom. It couldn’t be because he hated him for leaking the information about the late crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, right?
If that was really the case, the Yan family’s reaction was too slow. After all, it had been a year since the incident.
Seeing her like this, Song Jingchen was no longer angry. He reached out and rubbed Shen Yijia’s head. “Maybe it’s because I’m in their way.”
The only thing he had done recently was to save the emperor and investigate the old case.
However, it was impossible for the investigation to be leaked, so it could only be because of the former.
Whose plans did he interfere with when he saved the emperor? Naturally, it was the person who hid behind the emperor and wanted to reap the benefits.
Song Jingchen had long known that someone was colluding with the Yan family of the Wu Kingdom, but that was back then. Normally, the two parties who cooperated would definitely need each other for something. In the end, they reached a mutually beneficial outcome.
However, Yan Guangmao was already the Regent. The Yan family had troops and power. Even the throne of the Wu Kingdom was at his fingertips. There was no need for him to use Great Xia.
Song Jingchen didn’t think that Yan Guangmao was the kind of person who would continue to do thankless things.
There must be something between these two parties that he did not know about.
Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes and subconsciously pinched her fingers. “It’s Shangguan Heng?”
Her beautiful husband had previously analyzed the details about who would think of a way to protect the old prince and expose Shangguan Pu. Who was the person who wanted to reap the benefits? Wasn’t that Shangguan Heng?
Song Jingchen opened his mouth to say something, but South Wind walked in with a messenger pigeon. “Master, Uncle Yang sent a letter.”
As he spoke, he took out the letter from the small bamboo tube on the pigeon’s leg and handed it to Song Jingchen.
Song Jingchen reached out and took it. There was only a line of small words on it.
Nangong Xia, Yangshu Village in Qingyang City.
Wasn’t Qingyang City the hometown of the original host’s mother, Mada Wang?
Shen Yijia asked in confusion, “What does that mean? Who is Nangong X
Something flashed across Song Jingchen’s eyes as he said unhurriedly, name of Nangong Ke’s youngest daughter.”
Shen Yijia blinked and thought for a long time before realizing who Nalm Ke was. She said suspiciously, “The princess of the previous dynasty of t] Kingdom who escaped?”
She pointed at the address behind. “Does this mean that she escaped to C
Xia?”
Song Jingchen nodded with a solemn expression. “If Uncle Yang and I we right, Ghost Face is very likely Nangong Xia’s son.’
In other words, the other identity of the Ghost-Faced General of the Wu Kingdom was someone from Great Xia!
In the dark room, the chess pieces in the white-robed man’s hand flew o with a whoosh. It stuck to the cheek of the leader of the men in black before him and stabbed into the door frame.
“Who gave you the guts to act on your own?” The man’s voice was emoti( but it made one’s heart inexplicably turn cold.
Cold sweat broke out on the man in black’s forehead. He lowered his hea said respectfully, “We were only following Master’s instructions.”
The man tightened his grip, and the jade chess piece shattered into powder in his hand.
He closed his eyes. “Get out of here.”
The next day, Song Jingchen went out on duty as usual. Apart from South Wind following him, the rest of the Mahjong Brothers had been sent to Yangshu Village to investigate the previous princess of the Wu Kingdom. Fan Mingyuan was recuperating and rarely left his room, so the house was empty.
After MO Yuan sent Brother Hao and the others to the academy, Shen Yijia rolled up a sack and hid it in her sleeve. She greeted Madam Li and prepared to leave valiantly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the door, a green cloth carriage stopped in front of her.
Shen Yijia glanced at the driver. She did not know him.
She turned to close the door.
“Second Girl, Second Girl, it’s so good to see you here.”
This voice?
Shen Yijia shivered and looked at the two people who got out of the carriage as if she had seen a ghost.
Who else could it be but Shen Pingxiu and Madam Chen?
“Second Girl, you have to save your sister this time.” Madam Chen’s arrogant face changed. She walked up to Shen Yijia and wanted to grab her hand.
Shen Yijia was so frightened that she quickly retreated and pretended not to see the embarrassment on Madam Chen’s face. She asked strangely, “Didn’t you take your medicine when you went out today?”
In the past, they had always called her a b*tch.
Madam Chen choked and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief aggrievedly. Under the cover of the handkerchief, she kept winking at Shen Pingxiu..
