Chapter 432…
Hearing him belittle himself like this, Jin Sheng was extremely ashamed and angry, and shouted angrily, "Shame on you!"
However, Li Jingran was invulnerable, and there was even more mockery in his eyes, "Same here, but you, a loser who can't even get through the door, dare to yell at me? You are really, extremely stupid."
He deliberately slowed down his speech and emphasized the last four words.
Jin Sheng's eyes narrowed, like a wake-up call, and no matter how angry he was, it was extinguished at this moment.
He tried every possible means to get close to Liu Qiuwu, just to make the Liu family acknowledge him as their nephew. However, he got carried away and offended someone who could get close to Liu Qiuwu. If his master knew that he had caused trouble, he would definitely not forgive him.
Jin Sheng's face darkened as he thought about it. He regretted that he had almost made a big mistake because of his momentary verbal pleasure.
Li Jingran sat lazily, admiring his expression for a while, then felt bored, and said disdainfully as if shooing away a fly:
"Go away, go away. If you don't go away, I will make you leave the capital. I think I can do this to you, an orphan without parents and no one to rely on. Do you want to give it a try? Hmm?"
Jin Sheng turned pale when he heard this, and cursed inwardly that it was despicable, but it was undeniable that even if this pervert had a bad relationship with the Li family, it would be easy to kill him, and he simply couldn't afford the risk.
If this move of his fails, the first one who will not let him off will be his master!
Unable to utter any more words of retaliation, Jin Sheng felt as if something was stuck in his throat. He clenched his fists with a dark face, then glared at Li Jingran with resentment, turned around and walked away with big strides.
How dare this pervert threaten him? Just wait, when they succeed, he will be the first to attack him. Doesn't he like being played by men? Then he will play with him to his heart's content!
After Jin Sheng was angered and left, Li Jingran pursed his lips, and the smile in his eyes slowly faded away...
Half an hour later, Liu Qiuwu came back.
Li Jingran saw that he looked a little too serious, so he stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
After being gone for so long, he must have seen the person. Could something really have happened to my nephew?
Liu Qiuwu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked directly at him and said, "Go back and talk about it."
"Okay." Li Jingran responded.
It seems that something really happened.
……
Although the sky in the capital was clear that day, there were undercurrents underneath and people were in panic.
The Hua family was confiscated because of a lawsuit, and all of them were thrown into prison, awaiting their fate; Zhao Yide was exposed for selling illegal salt, which implicated the eldest prince in forming a clique for personal gain, and those who were arrested were arrested and those who were imprisoned; the second prince was assassinated in a hunting ground outside the city, fell into a valley and disappeared, and his life or death was unknown...
When they heard the news, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan had already instructed Li Yang to go to the Liu family as a servant and listen to Liu Qiuwu's orders. Hua Chaoxue had not woken up yet, and they were sitting idly in the yard.
"The sky is really going to change." Xia Mo leaned against the bamboo chair, looked up at the sky and said with a little melancholy.
They knew who had taken action against the Hua family, but they couldn't be sure who was responsible for the eldest and second princes, even though the third prince was more likely to benefit.
Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble, and it's really going to cause chaos.
Ling Chuan glanced at the young man's profile and said after a moment, "That's good. They are too busy to take care of themselves, so they can't be distracted. This is a good thing for us."
"Indeed." Xia Mo replied, but the worry between his brows remained.
Ling Chuan obviously sensed his depressed mood and asked, "What is Mo'er thinking about?"
"I'm not thinking about anything." Xia Mo turned his head to look at the serious man and said, "I just felt a little dazed suddenly. Sometimes people really can't stop and are prone to sadness."
The battle for the throne is cruel. Even if you are born extraordinary, you are destined to be extraordinary. The honor and disgrace of one person will result in rivers of blood and piles of bones. There are too many things involved.
Ling Chuan's handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his dark eyes stared at the young man stubbornly.
"Anything on your mind?"
Xia Mo sighed softly.
"It's not a worry, it's just a thought. Even if some people and things can be resolved, the harm caused by power is inevitable. Whether it's pursuit or self-protection, it's all fate."
At this point, his eyes curved, and he blinked his right eye and said to the man, "Brother Chuan, don't worry about me. I'm just sighing. If I have any problems, I'll look for you first."
Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows instantly and said with satisfaction: "It's good to know. These have nothing to do with us. Don't think too much. We can get out of this unscathed."
"Yeah, so it's not a big deal... Hey, I suddenly miss Xiao Anyu again. I wonder how he is doing at home?"
Xia Mo just said it casually, but after he said it, he really started to worry about the child.
They worried whether he had eaten well, whether he was bullied, and whether some gossipy people would go and say nonsense to him when they were not around...
Seeing that the young man was really worried, Ling Chuan said, "There are people watching, nothing will happen."
Xia Mo was still not reassured: "I hope so."
Hope things get resolved soon too.
squeak-
The courtyard gate was opened. Xia Mo and Ling Chuan turned their heads and saw a strange woman wearing gray patched clothes, carrying a vegetable basket and with her hair half wrapped in blue cloth walking in.
When the other party saw them, he said happily: "You are here, it's great."
As soon as the voice came out, it instantly broke the silence between Xia Mo and the others.
Phew...Xia Mo laughed, it turned out to be Yingying.
Ling Chuan still had a stern face, as if he was accepting it well and was not amused.
Seeing Xia Mo laughing at him, Yingying stopped talking and deliberately twisted her waist to turn around and said in a female voice, "Hey, what are you laughing at, young master? Doesn't it look good for me to look like this?"
"Hahaha... No, what are you doing?" Xia Mo laughed out loud, wondering if this guy was having his intermittent madness again.
Ling Chuan glanced at Ying Ying coldly and got down to business: "Did you get the stuff?"
"No." Yingying put the vegetable basket in her hand on the table, then sat down and said, "I came back because I have something else to tell you."
Ling Chuan didn't blame him, he just asked, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't a lot of things happen today? I guess you guys have heard about Zhao Yide as well."
Xia Mo rubbed his face and looked at Yingying in surprise: "You know?"
Although Ling Chuan said nothing, his eyes were slightly narrowed, hiding a sharp edge.
Zhao Yide is the eldest prince's man...
Yingying said "hmm", "I found it by accident. There was unrest in Prince Xian's mansion last night, and I didn't intend to investigate further. But I accidentally found that the shadow guard went to Zhao's mansion, so I followed him quietly. Guess what I saw?"
Xia Mo rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense."
Yingying glanced at their faces and continued, "I saw Zhao Xier, the woman who harmed Miss Liu. I originally thought that the shadow guard might have been planted in Prince Xian's mansion by someone named Zhao, but she actually followed him to Prince Xian's mansion. So my thoughts turned upside down, and she was the one who was planted."
Hearing this, Xia Mo raised his eyes and met Ling Chuan's gaze.
