Is this walking straight into the trap?
A moment later, the father and son saw Xue Jingjia in a sorry state. "Father! That bitch wanted to kill me! Father... I almost died!"
"Father, you must avenge me!"
Looking at the crying Xue Jingjia in front of him, Xue Zhan squinted his eyes and said indifferently, "Who wanted to harm you?"
Xue Jingjia seemed to be extremely frightened, with tears all over her face. Gone was the arrogance of the past.
"It's that Nanny Li who followed me! Father ordered someone to send me to the villa, but she suddenly attacked, killed the accompanying servants, and kidnapped me! Father... I'm so scared..."
Xue Changsheng frowned slightly. "How did you escape?"
"Last night, when Nanny Li came back, she was seriously injured... So I secretly escaped... Father, she's in a villa not far from the capital. Go and arrest her quickly!"
Xue Zhan looked at Xue Jingjia in front of him thoughtfully, as if seeing his younger sister for the first time.
"You said she was seriously injured? Didn't she lock you up?"
This 'Nanny Li' should be that man. Yesterday, he heard that Miss Liu was assassinated on the street. It should be this man who did it!
Xue Jingjia wiped the tears from her face and said confusedly, "Maybe she thought I wasn't a threat to her! That's why she just locked me in the small courtyard."
Hearing this, Xue Zhan didn't say anything more. He sat down leisurely on one side, holding a cup of tea and sipping it.
Xue Changsheng raised his hand and called the steward to take Xue Jingjia away. Then he frowned and said to Xue Zhan beside him, "A Zhan, do you think what she said is true or false?"
Xue Zhan raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said indifferently, "How would I know?"
Then he got up and walked towards the door. "I'll go to the place she mentioned and take a look."
This Xue Jingjia is no easy person. Should he say that she deserves to be the daughter of that woman?
Seeing this, Xue Changsheng sighed. He softly called out to him, "How's your mother?"
Xue Zhan replied without looking back, "Naturally, she's fine."
She's fine anywhere as long as she's not in the Sima Mansion.
Xue Changsheng pursed his lips. A complex look flashed in his eyes. He slumped back into the chair, feeling powerless.
Qiaoniang, won't you ever forgive me?
...
In the Prince Guoan's Mansion, Liu Rumei was still sleeping soundly. The brothers Yun Xi and Yun Li were sitting obediently in the courtyard. One was holding a book in his hand, while the other was propping his chin with one hand, yawning lazily. His little head bobbed up and down like a chick pecking rice. It was really cute!
Just as the two of them had identical faces, for a moment, there was a strong sense of contrast, but it also seemed extremely harmonious.
Just then, A Nan suddenly slipped into the courtyard. He quietly tapped Yun Xi on the head.
Yun Xi immediately felt the pain. He stood up abruptly, glaring angrily. "Who hit me!"
Hearing this address, A Nan raised his eyebrows and showed himself. "Naturally, it was me. What? Not convinced?"
Hearing this, Yun Xi's eyes instantly filled with anger. He grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at A Nan heavily. "I'm not convinced!"
He just knows how to bully children. When he grows up, he will surely not let him off lightly!
Yun Li watched this scene and shook his head helplessly. "Yun Xi, don't be rude!"
Then he got up and bowed to A Nan. "May I ask why Young Master Xue is here?"
Hearing this address, A Nan frowned. A hint of danger flashed in his eyes. 'Young Master Xue'?
It had been a long time since anyone had called him that.
Looking at Yun Li in front of him, who was smiling gently like a jade, he couldn't help but think to himself: He thought this one would be honest, but unexpectedly, he's also a sly one. He wonders where Liu Liu picked up these two little kids.
"Next time I hear this address, be careful or I'll throw you into the snake den!"
There was no trace of fear on Yun Li's face. His eyes still carried a gentle smile. He said innocently, "Young Master Xue does have the surname Xue. My address is appropriate."
Now A Nan was sure that this one was the one who pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger!
Yun Xi also nodded with a smile. "That's right, Young Master Xue. Brother is right! If you dare to make a move, I'll tell Liu Liu later and see who will end up in the snake den first!"
Hearing this, A Nan's expression froze. Liu Liu trusted these two little kids very much and would surely not doubt their words. As for Heng Niang, needless to say, she would definitely stand by Liu Liu's side...
Thinking like this, he suddenly realized that he really didn't dare to do anything to these two.
He was extremely depressed for a moment, but he still couldn't help but want to have the last word. "Do you believe that I can take you away secretly? I guarantee that Liu Liu won't be able to find you anywhere."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, his ear was caught in Heng Niang's grasp again. "How dare you touch them?"
Looking at Heng Niang who appeared behind him at some unknown time, A Nan felt like crying but had no tears.
"Heng Niang, be gentle. I didn't mean that!"
Yun Xi said innocently, "If you didn't mean that, what did you mean?"
A Nan couldn't help but curse in his heart. He used a clever move to snatch his ear back from Heng Niang's hand and retreated to one side warily. "I'm here on business!"
Heng Niang seemed to remember something. She turned around and went up to the attic. "Is Liu Liu still asleep?"
Yun Li nodded obediently. He came to the room and gently knocked on the door. "Sister."
Liu Rumei had already woken up when A Nan and Yun Li were arguing.
She opened the door with a smile in her eyes. "What's the business?"
Seeing Liu Rumei smiling, A Nan resignedly carried in the sack he had left at the door earlier and opened it in front of everyone.
Looking at the pale - faced and unclosed - eyed corpse inside, a look of confusion flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes. "Who is this?"
A Nan kicked the corpse disgustedly. "This is Zhou Xudong, the adulterer."
A look of confusion flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes. She squatted down and examined carefully. "Did he die last night?"
Looking at his chest, which was stabbed like a beehive and the other wounds on his body, her brows furrowed even more. "Judging from the wounds, the murderer used a dagger."
A Nan's eyes were full of disgust. He walked lazily to one side. "Xue Jingjia killed him. The woman who attacked you yesterday was her."
Xue Jingjia. He underestimated her!
