Chapter 21: What Happened

Zhuo Xue heard Wei Luoyi's question, then nodded, and looked at Wei Luoyi expectantly, as if she thought that she could give herself the answer she wanted, but before Wei Luoyi could speak, Feng Yi interjected, "Miss Zhuo, we can't hide it, our real purpose this time is to come here to seek the members of the Eight Sufferings." ”

"Eight sufferings, what are eight sufferings?" Hearing Feng Yi's words, Zhuo Xue looked curious, after all, she had little contact with outsiders and knew very little about things in this world.

Feng Yi hurriedly told Zhuo Xue about the purpose of their visit, and after hearing Feng Yi's story, Zhuo Xue fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Zhuo Xue was a little embarrassed, Wei Luoyi hurriedly reprimanded Feng Yi, "Wind dog, you are still the big boss in the world, why do you owe so much." ”

Feng Yi heard this, with a look of grievance, Zhuo Xue saw this, and explained nervously: "Miss Wei, don't blame the wind master, the little girl is not embarrassed by what the wind master said, after all, such a major event that is beneficial to the common people, the little girl should have been duty-bound, but the little girl is currently in a quagmire, and she is afraid that it will affect everyone, so she ......"

She said, with a look of fear in her eyes again, Wei Luoyi saw it, so she grabbed her hand and smiled: "Don't be afraid, we are here, you don't have to be afraid, no matter what difficulties you encounter, we will help you solve them." ”

"Really?" Zhuo Xue still looked a little anxious.

"Of course, but if you want us to help you, you must at least tell us what happened in the Zhuo Mansion these days, right?" Wei Luoyi said with a gentle face.

Looking at her gentle face and feeling the temperature of her hands, the fear in Zhuo Xue's eyes suddenly dissipated, she hesitated for a moment, and after being entangled again and again, she told everything that had happened in these days.

The matter went back to the night of the wedding, because of her body, Zhuo Xue was taken back to the new house by the maids early, but she couldn't wait for the groom's official Cheng Xiangru until midnight.

She was curious, so she forced herself to get up from time to time, but when she came to the main hall, she found that the guests had already left their seats.

Seeing that there was no one in the main hall, Zhuo Xue had to go to the study, and she guessed that the reason why Cheng Xiangru did not return to the room should be because her father Zhuo Tong had something important to discuss with him.

When she came to the study, she found that not only Cheng Xiangru and her father, but also three people in the study at this time that she had never seen, and through later conversations, she learned that one of them was Huai Wang Qi Nan, and the other two were his guards.

The reason why King Huai came to Zhuo Tong was to hope that he could fund his army, but Zhuo Tong politely refused, and when the scene was embarrassing, Zhuo Xue suddenly coughed, so Zhuo Tong persuaded Qi Nan to rest early on the grounds that his daughter was unwell, and he would discuss it tomorrow.

Qi Nan saw that Zhuo Xue's face was pale, so he agreed, and then accompanied by Zhuo Tong, he went to the room arranged by Zhuo Tong to stay, and Zhuo Xue was sent back to the room by Cheng Xiangru.

After helping Zhuo Xue to return to the room, Cheng Xiangru left the room, because he had not returned for a long time, which made Zhuo Xue feel uneasy, so he got up again and came to the study, but before the person arrived, the sound of Zhuo Tong and Cheng Xiangru arguing came from the study, and with the sound of a teacup breaking, all the sounds immediately stopped again.

Finding that the two had stopped arguing, Zhuo Xue felt bad, so she quickly walked into the study. But as soon as she entered the study, she found that her father Zhuo Tong had fallen to the ground, holding his abdomen in his hands and spitting black blood. As for Cheng Xiangru, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, looking at Zhuo Tong who fell to the ground with a frightened face, and his head broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Zhuo Xue was also frightened, but just as she was about to open her mouth to question Cheng Xiangru, there was a sharp pain in the back of her head, and then she fell unconscious.

A few days later, Zhuo Xue woke up again, and learned the news of her father's violent death and her mother's fainting.

Although Zhuo Xue knew that her father's death was mostly inseparable from Huai Wang Qi Nan and Cheng Xiangru, she still tried her best to create an illusion that she had forgotten the events of that night, successfully deceived Cheng Xiangru, and temporarily ensured the safety of her mother Zhuo Wang.

But she was wrong, an accidental eavesdropping, she knew that the reason why Qi Nan and Cheng Xiangru hadn't done it to themselves was because there was still something critical that had not been found, and this thing was very important to Qi Nan, but because Zhuo Tong was dead, they could only hope that Cheng Xiangru could find out the whereabouts of that thing from the mouth of Zhuo Xue or Zhuo Wang.

Hearing the news, Zhuo Xue couldn't help coughing, so frightened that Qi Nan immediately broke out of the door, and when he saw that it was her, he immediately asked her why she was here in the middle of the night, Zhuo Xue replied that she was scared and wanted him to accompany her.

After hearing Zhuo Xue's answer, Cheng Xiangru was skeptical, and after saying goodbye to Qi Nan, he took Zhuo Xue back to the room and coaxed her to sleep until dawn.

This made Zhuo Xue wonder if she had misunderstood Cheng Xiangru again, but it didn't take long for Cheng Xiangru to bring a bowl of poison that shattered all her illusions.

Cheng Xiangru probably never dreamed that his wife had been ill for a long time and was particularly familiar with the smell of medicine, although he just quietly added a medicine, but she still smelled it.

Seeing that Zhuo Xue refused to drink the medicine, Cheng Xiangru was anxious, and tried in vain to pour poison into her, but he didn't know that Zhuo Xue was not only familiar with medicine, but also the attainments of the six ginseng were also amazing.

Although Zhuo Xue cultivated quite deeply, he still failed to take down Cheng Xiangru in the end, because Qi Nan had already arranged for guards to follow Cheng Xiangru and warned them that if Cheng Xiangru missed, he would immediately get rid of Zhuo Xue.

After a fight, Zhuo Xue was defeated by Qi Nan's two personal guards who were seriously injured, and when one of the guards was about to kill her, Zhuo Wang suddenly appeared and blocked the fatal blow for her, and at the same time, a mysterious person appeared.

With the help of the mysterious man, Zhuo Xue began to have back and forth with the two guards, but as the four of them fought for a longer time, Zhuo Xue gradually discovered that even though she and the mysterious man joined forces, they still couldn't beat Qi Nan's guards, so they could only fight and retreat, and escaped from Zhuo Mansion with difficulty.

Leaving Zhuo's Mansion, Zhuo Wang's family was already seriously injured and difficult to treat, but Zhuo Xue disregarded her own safety and did her best to deliver six ginseng to her mother, although she let her mother live for one more day, she could only watch her mother die in front of her.

Zhuo Xue was grief-stricken, howling and crying, and under the triple blow of grief, serious injury, and serious illness, the six ginseng in the body were disordered and completely out of control, so overnight, a blizzard suddenly came, covering the entire city of Suzhou.

After Zhuo Xue finished speaking, she choked up again, and after hearing her telling, the other three people in the room fell silent.

"Do you know what they're going to do next?"

At this time, Feng Yi suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence in the room.

When Zhuo Xue heard this, she shook her head helplessly, and Feng Yi looked at Qingyang, "Old quack, that mysterious person should be you." ”

Hearing Feng Yi's words, Zhuo Xue's face was shocked, but when she saw Qingyang acquiescing, she couldn't help but suddenly realize, "Old man, it turns out that you are ......"

"He's the one who has been secretly protecting you. Without waiting for Zhuo Xue to finish speaking, Feng Yi grabbed the words.

"Protect me, why did the old gentleman do this?" Zhuo Xue looked at Feng Yi with a puzzled expression.

"Because you are like a person, but I will tell you slowly in the future, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the conspiracy of King Huai. Feng Yi replied to Zhuo Xuedao, and then continued to ask Qingyang, "Tell me, what did you find out in Zhuo Mansion." ”

Qingyang frowned, glanced at Zhuo Xue, and sighed: "Hey, this matter is a long story, according to the old man's investigation in the past few days, it turns out that in recent years, it has been Zhuo's shopkeeper who has been funding King Huai to manage his own territory.

However, not long ago, for some reason, the amount of money asked by King Huai suddenly skyrocketed, and the shopkeeper Zhuo had doubts, although he still had support, but it was far from what he wanted, and later through the exchange of letters, he knew that King Huai wanted to do great things, so he needed a lot of money. ”

"Big deal, big deal, oh my God, he doesn't want to rebel. Hearing what Qingyang said, Wei Luoyi couldn't help but interject after thinking about it.

Qingyang nodded and continued: "This matter touched the bottom line of Zhuo's shopkeeper, and the two broke up unhappily, but they didn't want to come uninvited with his subordinates on Miss Zhuo's wedding day.

But under his repeated persecution, Zhuo's shopkeeper still did not give in, but used letters and accounts to counter the Huai Wang's army, Huai Wang held a grudge, and saw that he could not persuade him, so he colluded with Cheng Xiangru and poisoned Zhuo's shopkeeper.

The rest of the matter is as Miss Zhuo said, after King Huai and Cheng Xiangru solved the Zhuo family, they planned to complete the transfer of rights through the head meeting held in Songhe Tower at the end of this month, and Cheng Xiangru became the big treasurer of the world, so as to control all the industries of the Zhuo family. ”

"I see, but with his words from King Huai, I'm afraid that these masters may not be obedient, and there is also the second master Zhuo Xiao, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After listening to what Qingyang said, Feng Yi held his chin and said thoughtfully.

Having said that, as far as the old man knew, Zhuo Er's son Yuanbao had been imprisoned by King Huai, and they used this as a threat to ask Zhuo Er's master to announce his withdrawal from management at the head meeting and transfer most of the rights to Cheng Xiangru. Qingyang explained.

"Even so, the other masters are not vegetarians, so she can't give up her rights with a word, as far as I know, there are not a few people who have the heart to make their own decisions. "Feng Yi Dao.

"I'm afraid that if they don't agree at that time, they will have to agree, after all, King Huai also arranged two guards to protect Cheng Xiangru, if they don't agree, I'm afraid Cheng Xiangru will use force to submit. Qingyang Road.

Feng Yi heard it and thought for a while, "In this way, I think about it, what is the identity of those two guards of King Huai, who can suppress you and Miss Zhuo together, it must be unusual." ”

When Qingyang heard this, he sneered, "What is suppression, that's grandpa, I took care of Miss Zhuo's safety and failed to exert my full strength, but those two people are indeed not vegetarians, looking at their dress, they should be people who destroy the world, the male is called Kumaro, and the female is called Lakshmi." ”

"No wonder, they are the Ten Commandments!" Hearing Qingyang's words, Feng Yi's face was shocked, and when he said the word Ten Commandments, the other three people in the room couldn't help but tremble.

"Then what should we do next?" Wei Luoyi swallowed secretly, and couldn't help but raise his hand and ask.
