She raised a question, and Huangfu Lingyao pointed to a line of text on the small booklet, saying, “Wife, does it say here that Wen Gui returned to his hometown to marry?”
Liu Shimei nodded.
Liang Yi snatched the booklet from Huangfu Lingyao’s hand and read it herself. Then she said, “There is no further information about Wen Gui in the records. In other words, we don’t know whether he got married or not!”
“That’s right.”
Liu Shimei nodded and said, “Therefore, if we want to find out about Wen Gui, we have to go to his hometown. I read in the records that Wen Gui’s hometown is quite far from the Imperial Capital, it takes about five or six days round trip.”
“It’s precisely because it’s so far that no one bothered to inquire about his whereabouts after he left the Imperial Capital,” Liang Yi continued, “So, what if he didn’t go back to get married? No one would know!”
Regarding Wen Gui’s situation, this was all they had for now. Liu Shimei and Liang Yi fell into silence, but Huangfu Lingyao, unwilling to be left out, piped up, “Wife, do you intend to find this Wen Gui?”
While he could accompany her closely if she went, he couldn’t bear the thought of his wife enduring hardships during a long journey.
“No need for my sister to go, I will send someone to look for him!” Liang Yi replied.
She was joking. Not to mention that Liu Shimei still had Fusheng Pavilion to manage, even if she didn’t, who in the Liang family would allow her to spend over a dozen days searching for someone who might not even be found?
Investigating such matters didn’t require her to go personally!
“Now, about this Wu Qiang.” Liu Shimei turned to Liang Yi and asked, “Do you think Wu Qiang is really dead?”
Liu Shimei analyzed, “According to the information I read, it was Lame Qi who personally examined the corpse. That’s strange. Wu Qiang, while somewhat famous, was neither a heroic figure renowned in the martial world nor a notorious scoundrel. Why would someone specifically seek out a person with the name Lame Qi to perform the autopsy?”
Liu Shimei continued, “There’s only one possibility: someone wanted to deliberately conceal something, but instead, they ended up being too clever by half, making it more obvious!”
Lame Qi had a good reputation; anyone examined by him wouldn’t be alive afterward.
Who knows what price they paid to have Lame Qi prepare this forensic report? It must have been to hide something!
Could it be that Wu Qiang faked his death?
Liang Yi sighed, his brows furrowing tightly. “Therefore, we still need to find out what happened to Wu Qiang. But if Wu Qiang is still alive, he’s clearly skilled at hiding his tracks. It won’t be easy to locate him!”
In his youth, he had been full of youthful vigor, playful and carefree. He often resembled a debonair young gentleman, but his strict upbringing kept him from straying too far from the path of righteousness.
Even when he played outside, he usually emerged as the leader. Whether it was in scholarly pursuits or martial arts, he excelled in everything he did. There were very few situations where he felt truly challenged.
He sighed. “It seems that the possibility of my cousin, Xingyun, being trampled to death by a frightened horse is becoming more likely!”
Saying this, he looked at Liu Shimei with concern. “Sister, trying to clear his name might be very dangerous!”
Revenge was important, but obviously, the person in front of them was more important, wasn’t she?
If making Liu Shimei take risks meant discovering the truth, even if it meant avenging Liu Quan, if it came at the cost of endangering Liu Shimei, it wouldn’t be worth it!
Hearing Liang Yi’s words, Huangfu Lingyao naturally had to voice his opinion, “Wife, if it’s very dangerous, maybe we should stop investigating?”
He could slowly investigate on her behalf, sparing her from worrying about it. Wouldn’t that be ideal?
But what was her attitude?
Liu Shimei turned to look at the silly dog, noticing his expression of deep concern. She believed Liang Yi’s despondency had influenced him. Trying to reassure him, she said, “I know there’s a risk, so we’ll proceed cautiously. We’ll investigate while ensuring our safety, and I won’t let myself take unnecessary risks.”
The silly puppy lay his head on the table, and she instinctively reached out and patted his head.
He immediately reveled in the attention, grinning and saying, “Wife, if there’s something dangerous, just let me handle it! I’ll protect you!”
Liang Yi snorted coldly. “You? Protect my sister? I highly doubt it!”
Huangfu Lingyao made a face at him in response.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly.
Little did she know that when Huangfu Lingyao vowed to protect her, that moment had arrived so quickly!
