Zhao Zhi had the ability to hide from his mother, for more than a year, the fact that he snatched by force the daughter of a common family. It seemed that he wanted to keep the image of a good boy in his mother’s heart.

Zhao Nanyu wasn’t even interested in exposing him in front of Song Luan.

Song Luan sighed, “I am worried about him.”

Zhao Nanyu said, “You might as well worry more about me.”

Chapter 111

(40.2)

Song Luan pretended not to hear this sentence, then went on to say: “When he was a child, I didn’t care well for him, when things settled down, he was already grown up. I always feel like I owe him. I’m afraid that I have left a shadow on the child’s mind.”

Zhao Nanyu emotionlessly hummed twice.

“It’s better for him to be angry than to hold it in.” Song Luan was analyzing things on her own.

Zhao Nanyu frowned slightly, “Don’t mind his business anymore.”

Song Luan pushed him away, “Since you don’t know anything, then I’m going back. I will find him and ask him myself on some other day.”

Zhao Nanyu followed her out, he couldn’t find it in his heart to tell her, that she wouldn’t be able to find out anything by asking her son.

Zhao Zhi’s mouth was indeed very tight, if he did not want to tell, now matter how the other person forced him, it was useless.

It was already late in the night. The people who had attended the palace banquet had basically all been escorted out of the palace.

Sheng Wenlin and Song Huaicheng stayed behind.

Sheng Wenlin still couldn’t believe that Sheng Ling would dare to involve so many people’s heads just for a scheme.

Song Huaiqing also did not want to believe that the woman he liked would have such a vicious heart.

He was thinking of marrying Sheng Ling. According to the standard, his family background also wasn’t too bad, marrying a junzhu wouldn’t be a difficult matter.

“Brother Song, why did you go there?”

“I said it already, I was drunk and wanted to have a rest, the palace maid lead me there.”

“Even so, how could the person who planned the trap be sure that you would definitely be drunk?”

Song Huaiqing’s face turned white. At that time, Sheng Ling was the one who took the initiative to come over and give him a toast.

He did not say anything else.

Sheng Wenlin also stopped talking, and after a long silence, he said, “Tomorrow I will send my cousin back to Xiangyang.”

He couldn’t let her continue to make waves and raise trouble here.

Listening to what he said, Zhao Zhi only felt it was funny. After half an hour, Wei Liu brought Sheng Ling in front of him.

Sheng Ling brightly smiled at them as her gaze swept over Song Huaiqing. Seeing that he was still wearing the same set of clothes as before, her eyes became cold.

It seemed that things did not work out.

She had clearly also put wooden incense into the incense burner in the room.

The lanterns under the eaves were emitting a soft light, shining on her face.

Sheng Ling asked, “What is taizi gege looking for me for ?”

The spring night was slightly cool, gusts of wind were blowing, the temperature of her body also went down. The moonlight was shining on the window pane. Several shadows were reflected on it.

Zhao Zhi used a gentle voice, happiness and anger were inaudible, “Bring the person here to let the junzhu see.”

The imperial guards dragged the bloody corpse and threw it down in front of Sheng Ling.

The back of the head was open and full of clotted blood, a bright red was staining half of the corpse’s face. It was both red and white. The dead body looked horribly frightening.

Sheng Ling was so scared her face became bloodless. Suddenly facing the body which suffered such a tragic death, her legs and feet felt weak and her back broke out in cold sweat.

“Do you know her?” Zhao Zhi asked.

Sheng Ling stubbornly shook her head, “No, I don’t.”Only then did she begin to feel afraid. She squeezed out two drops of real tears: “Taizi gege, don’t scare me like this.”

Zhao Zhi mockingly looked at the teardrops at the corners of her eyes, absolutely unmoved. He said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know her.”

He ordered that Sheng Ling’s personal maidservant be brought over, as well as the small merchant who had sold her the medicine.

As she looked at the maidservant lying on the ground, half-dead, Sheng Ling’s expression changed dramatically.”Do you know these two people?”

Sheng Ling had overestimated her own ability, her eyes turned red instantly, “I was the one who did it.”

She choked with a sob, “I was wrong.”

Sheng Ling wiped her tears, “I just …… like you too much, I was momentarily blinded, but I didn’t really intend to hurt her.”

Before, when she was at home, no matter how big of a mistake she made, as long as she dropped two tears, her parents and her older brother wouldn’t bear to reprimand nor punish her.

Unfortunately, this tactic didn’t work on Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi looked at her with a gaze full of disgust, “Wei Liu, escort her back to Xiangyang tomorrow morning.”

This time, Sheng Ling didn’t dare to say that she wouldn’t go back or anything like that. Zhao Zhi was under the heat of anger. Looking at the maidservant’s body, full of blood, she felt that Zhao Zhi really could want to kill her.

Her legs were strengthless and she sat on her knees on the icy-cold ground. A pair of slender hands appeared in front of her eyes. Song Huaiqing pulled her up from the ground. His eyes were calm and indifferent. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up as he let out a pathetic laugh, “Plotting against her is fine, I wouldn’t have stopped you even if you had wanted her life.”

The life of a concubine wasn’t worth much, if she died, there would be others coming after.

“But how could you include me in your plot ?”

Sheng Ling didn’t dare to look into his eyes, tears rolled down her face, without much sincerity.

After saying these few words, Song Huaiqing let go of her hand, turned around and walked away.
