Chapter Seventy-Seven: Roundabout
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Roundabout
The news of Shangguan Hong's death reached Zhong Lishuo's palace on the evening of the third day, and Wen Shumei was even more shocked by a layer of cold sweat when she listened to Chen Tong's report, but when she looked at Zhong Lishuo again, she couldn't see half a bit of surprise on Zhong Lishuo's face. It seemed that at that moment, Wen Shumei suddenly understood why Zhong Lishuo was not in the house all day yesterday.
These days, although it is calm, Wen Shumei also understands in her heart that there are actually many dangers hidden under this apparent calm, however, she seems to be unable to help anything except wait quietly here, or do what Zhong Lishuo arranged for him, let alone say anything.
Wen Shumei's heart unconsciously deserted, this subtle feeling was seen by Zhong Lishuo, and he suddenly felt that Wen Shumei's expression made him have a different feeling, and that feeling reminded him of a person who didn't belong to him.
First dust. Maybe she should have been called Jinse.
Zhong Lishuo actually knew very clearly in his heart that Jin Se might not have any love for him, but only out of use, or wanted to escape. But Zhong Lishuo didn't want to admit it, he didn't believe that he didn't have half a position in Jin Se's heart, he had seen Shangguan Xuan. The man who snatched Jinse from under his nose.
Zhong Lishuo didn't understand what he could do compared to that killer, he could give Jin Se that killer a glory and status that he couldn't reach for the rest of his life. What's more, he still holds the fate of the killer father in his hands. Is this the case, he will transfer the hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow on Shangguan Hong. That's why he went to find Shangguan Hong's wife.
Shangguan Hong's relationship with his wife is not good, this is what Zhong Lishuo knows, but even if their relationship is not good, they still have a son. So it is not difficult to imagine that when Shangguan Hong's wife told Shangguan Hong that their son was killed on the way to be distributed, the pain seemed to be no less than that of the skin. Of course, this will definitely not be the last straw that crushed Shangguan Hong.
Shangguan Xuan, who wanted him to take away Jin Se under Zhong Lishuo's eyelids, and who let him take Jin Se again to evade Chen Tong's pursuit again. Such a thing, Zhong Lishuo will never allow it to happen for the third time.
Zhong Lishuo thought like this, and his teeth clenched involuntarily, as if the thought of it would make his hatred continue to expand, and even surround him.
Chen Tong didn't seem to understand the thoughts of the two people in front of him at this moment, Zhong Lishuo and Wen Shumei, both had thoughtful expressions. In such a quiet environment, Chen Tong felt unaccustomed, he had never seen Zhong Lishuo in a daze like this. It's not that he can't guess Zhong Lishuo's thoughts, but there is still Wen Shumei in front of him, and he can't tell Zhong Lishuo's whereabouts like this.
"Your Highness•••••• Your Highness••••••" Zhong Lishuo and Wen Shumei were called back to reality by Chen Tong's call, Wen Shumei smiled a little embarrassed, Zhong Lishuo tilted his head, and glanced at Wen Shumei who was standing on the side, and his voice was faint:
"Mei'er, it's late, I'm a little hungry, why don't you go and make some food." Wen Shumei listened, pursed her lips and smiled:
"I wonder what Your Highness wants to eat?" Zhong Lishuo's purpose was to break Wen Shumei apart, so that he could discuss with Chen Tong about Jin Se, but now Wen Shumei didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so Zhong Lishuo had no choice but to reach out and touch Wen Shumei's hand. Wen Shumei understood what Zhong Lishuo meant in an instant, nodded and walked out.
If Wen Shumei went to the kitchen like this, it would be fine, but she was not undoubted in her heart, although Zhong Lishuo never let her interfere with political affairs, but this time, Wen Shumei faintly felt that Zhong Lishuo was a little strange. Therefore, Wen Shumei did not go back to her room when she came out of the study as usual, but stopped by the window away from the door and listened quietly to the movement in the house.
"Did Jinse find it?" This is Zhong Lishuo's voice. Wen Shumei listened, and her heart didn't feel tight. After a long time, she heard the name again. She wondered, wouldn't that woman be dead, why did she appear again?
"There's no news, but it's certain that they didn't come out of the desert." This is Chen Tong's voice.
Why them? Wen Shumei became more and more unable to figure it out. At this moment, Zhong Lishuo's voice sounded again:
"Go and ask Shangguan Hong's wife, she won't know anything about Shangguan Hong's previous whereabouts."
How did she get involved with Shangguan Hong again, Wen Shumei became more and more confused, and vaguely felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as she imagined.
"What does Your Highness mean?" This is Chen Tong's voice. Wen Shumei had a bad premonition, and sure enough, the next moment, Zhong Lishuo said something that she didn't expect.
"The Pavilion of Disillusionment."
