The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 113 - Trust and Good news!

Chapter 113: Trust and Good news!

In a secret independent courtyard in the capital, a man with a jade-like face was wearing a purple brocade robe and a jade belt with golden threads carved on it. He held a green jade cup between his thumb and ring finger. He stared at the white hibiscus flowers in front of the window with sharp eyes.

The expression on his face seemed to be a little irritable and anxious.

He retracted his gaze from the hibiscus and shouted, “Where are the people?”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old eunuch came in with a horsetail whisk. He bowed to the man and shouted, “Master!”

The man’s expression was cold, and he asked anxiously, “Is there still no news?”

The old eunuch shook his head and said, “No! We haven’t received any news about Li Wei or Jiang Zhennan’s group. It’s as if they have suddenly disappeared from the world without a trace!”

The man furrowed his brows and asked coldly, “Did Li Wei not send back any news before this?”

The old eunuch thought for a moment and said,” 26 days ago, he sent a messenger pigeon saying that he had already chased Jiang Zhennan to a place called An Ning County.”

“An Ning County?” The man was slightly confused. “Which province does it belong to?”

“It’s Qingfeng Prefecture in the South!” The old eunuch replied respectfully.

“Qingfeng Prefecture?” The man asked again.

“Yes, master!” The old eunuch once again replied in a serious tone.

“Qingfeng province belongs to the crown prince’s uncle’s family.” The man mumbled to himself, “Could it be that the crown prince has found out and intercepted Li Wei and saved Jiang Zhennan?” If that were the case, there would be trouble!

The Crown Prince and Jiang Zhennan had always been on good terms. If they found out that Jiang Zhennan’s poisoning was related to him, the Crown Prince would definitely use this as an excuse to report to his father. At that time, his image in front of his father, the emperor, would be greatly damaged, which would be very unfavorable to him.

No, he must not let the Crown Prince trace Jiang Zhennan’s poisoning to him.

Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to bide his time and clean up all his traces.

The man said to the old eunuch, “Pa.s.s down the order. The situation has changed. All the previous plans are to be put on hold. Also, we have to clean up all the loose ends regarding Jiang Zhennan’s poisoning. Remember, Jiang Zhennan’s sudden departure from the capital has nothing to do with me. Understand?” His tone was stern, yet it also contained a sense of arrogance.

“Yes, Master. This subordinate will give the order!” The old eunuch respectfully bowed.

After the old eunuch left, the man was still staring at the hibiscus flowers outside the window, feeling puzzled.

Did Jiang Zhennan move to Qingfeng Prefecture to look for the divine doctor or because that was the crown prince’s uncle’s family’s territory?

If it was the former, he wasn’t too worried, but if it was the latter, it meant that perhaps Jiang Zhennan had long colluded with the Crown Prince and was just waiting for an opportunity to lure him into the trap.

The man’s expression changed at the thought.

He had almost been fooled. Fortunately, he discovered this in time.

Because of that misunderstanding, Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan had quite a period of peace.

…

Since she was going to bring them back to the Lin family Village, it was impossible for these severely injured people to walk there on their own. She couldn’t ask Liefeng or little white to carry them. There were too many of them. Therefore, Lin Yuelan had to rely on Little White’s subordinates, Big and Little Black.

Lin Yuelan would ride on Little White because Little White would not allow anyone else to ride on it.

Jiang Zhennan was riding on Liefeng because other than Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, Liefeng would never let anyone else ride on his back.

Therefore, the remaining four people were carried by big and little black.

Although the four men were heavy, it was nothing for Big and Little Black. They carried Guo Bing, little three, little six, and little twelve back to the Lin family Village.

Guo Bing and the other three were a little scared at first. After all, the black bear was a very fierce wild beast, and they were afraid that they would be eaten by them if they were not careful.

However, after sitting on the bear’s back for a while and listening to their steady footsteps, their uneasy hearts gradually calmed down.

The four of them had been seriously injured and had lost too much blood. The reason why they had not fainted before was that they were too worried about the poison in Jiang Zhennan’s body. Plus, they were too curious about Lin Yuelan.
