Chapter 285: Chapter 288 A Shocking Secret
Hua Mei’s cry had attracted the attention of the soldiers. They rushed to the backyard to check, but could not find anything. They searched again just to make sure, then returned to the front of the building.
All the soldiers were in the front courtyard, surrounding the building. However, no one went in because the building was dark and eerie. Since the soldiers were unsure about the situation, no one dared to rush in. A man quickly reported to the person in charge.
“General, what now?”
“Light the torches at once and go in!”
“Yes, general.”
The soldiers quickly lit some torches and rushed into the building. Soon, a soldier exclaimed, “General, there’s a dead person here.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
Outside the courtyard, Liu Shi had arrived with a bunch of people. When she heard the soldier’s words, her face immediately became pale. Her legs almost gave out and she was barely able to remain standing.
‘I hope my daughter is not in there as well.’
Soon, she heard the soldiers calling out again from a room inside the courtyard, “General, there is also another person here. A woman.”
Hearing this, Liu Shi immediately became extremely worried. She was sure that the woman in the room would not be Yun Qianyu, but rather her own daughter. ‘What should I do now?’
The person that was killed was Jiang Yunlong, the eldest son of the Chiang family. Liu Shi’s plan was to have Yun Qianyu walk into the building and be found with Chiang Yunlong’s corpse there. With that, she would be able to frame Yun Qianyu for the murder of Chiang Yunlong.
Since she couldn’t deal with her outright, she hoped that by doing this she would get the Chiang family to kill Yun Qianyu.
Liu Shi thought this was a foolproof plan. However, Yun Qianyu had figured it out and had turned the tables on Liu Shi, bringing her own daughter into the trap she had set up.
‘No, the Chiang family hates us right now. If my daughter falls into their hands, she will surely die.’
Liu Shi thought hard about it and suddenly called out toward a dark corner, “Shifu Luo.”
A figure suddenly appeared from the darkness.
This man was the one who had led the two powerful spirit energy users to kill Yun Qianyu. His name was Luo Nantian.
Luo Nantian was already over 50 years old and had a tall and thin figure; even his face was thin. However, his eyes were alert and fierce, just like the eyes of an eagle. As though he knew nothing but hatred, he looked at Liu Shi coldly after being summoned.
Liu Shi didn’t dare to offend this person, after all, he was still a powerful spirit energy user. If Rong Heng had not instructed him to obey Liu Shi, he would not have paid any attention to her.
“Shifu Luo, please help my daughter. Please help her.”
Luo Nantian looked at her with obvious annoyance and said, “I warned you against doing such a petty thing. His Highness has asked you to stay in the capital and pay attention to subtle changes here, and then report back to him. But for some reason, you’re hellbent on dealing with a woman.
Now that you have done this, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Luo Nantian clearly did not want to help Liu Shi.
He was not at all interested in getting involved in this.
Liu Shi became pale when she saw Luo Nantian’s reluctance to save her daughter. Feeling anxious, she pleaded, “Shifu Luo, please! Xue’er, she…She is His Highness’s daughter. She is the princess of the Nanyang royal family.”
Luo Nantian was shocked by her words and looked at Liu Shi in disbelief, “You are not lying, are you? If you dare to lie to me…”
“I am not lying. She really is the princess of the Nanyang royal family. She is the daughter of His Highness and His Highness knows it. In fact, I have never slept with Yun Lei, he has always slept with another woman. I have always been His Highness’s woman, thus my child must be his.” If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know so we can fix it as soon as possible.
