Lu Qingtang asked Kou Dan and Su Mu to continue looking after the children, and the four of them went to sit down in the main room of the courtyard together.
Ji Wenzhan felt a little unnatural. He took the lead and asked her, "Little sister, I still want to know why you wanted to kill Xu Lingshu?"
Lu Qingtang looked back at Ji Wuhen, who also seemed hesitant to speak.
This face was caring and doting, just like when Mo Ze looked deeply at several children just now.
She suddenly remembered that the man in front of her was her father, her relative in this world.
He is the father of the original owner and her father. Since they are relatives, it is not good for the relationship to remain so tense.
With a thought in her heart, she spoke out of nowhere: "My father and brother must have heard about our search for Dong Chengbin in the past few days, right?"
Ji Wuhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Qingtang blankly, as if he didn't recognize her.
He didn't expect that "Father" would be called so suddenly and so naturally. He didn't even expect it.
After hesitating for a long time, he nodded and said "Hey" in his mouth, which was considered as acceptance.
Lu Qingtang looked at Ji Wuhen's fiery gaze with an unnatural expression on his face.
She cleared her throat and continued: "Actually, we and Dong Chengbin had discussed it in advance. Dong Chengbin pretended to be beaten and ran away. In fact, he fled to Ji Wuxuan's house and was conspiring with Ji Wuxuan to massacre the Zhennan Palace."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Wuhen stood up in a hurry and looked at her in surprise.
He knew that Ji Wuxuan had always been ambitious and that he coveted the position of King of Zhennan, but he didn't expect that he would be so heartless.
He murmured, as if talking to himself, "How is this possible? He..."
As he spoke, anger appeared on his face, "A fellow mother, how dare he, how could he bear it!"
Ji Wenzhan on the side also stared wide-eyed.
He also stood up from the chair and looked at Lu Qingtang in surprise, "Little sister, what you said is true. Second uncle..."
Lu Qingtang nodded slightly in response to him.
Mo Zeshen whispered to the side, his hoarse voice very low, "Ji Wuxuan has been in contact with his father for a long time. He and Dong Chengbin have been in contact separately. In order to avoid letting His Majesty know about this matter, we discussed this plan .”
"It's just that no one expected that Dong Chengbin would appear in Zhennan Palace today, and Xu Lingshu would see it." Lu Qingtang continued, "She not only saw Dong Chengbin, but also saw Dong Chengbin and I talking. I had no choice but to do this. Decide."
After speaking, she looked at Ji Wuhen and Ji Wenzhan.
Ji Wuhen nodded and said, "Daughter, you are doing the right thing. You have to make a decisive decision on some matters. Don't worry. 7 I will go over to comfort Ji Wuxuan's family and I won't make them suspicious."
He said, stood up and left the courtyard.
He knew the seriousness of this matter if Ji Wuxuan knew about it.
Not only will the plan be leaked, but the Zhennan Palace will not be saved, and even the lives of the daughter and her family will be lost.
He just heard his daughter call him "Father", and he was not willing to hear just this call. The family must work together to protect each other. His daughter protects him, and he also wants to protect his daughter.
At this time in the front yard, Ji Wuxuan was still immersed in the pain of losing Xu Lingshu.
Obviously everyone was talking and laughing before burning the incense, and he was still looking forward to having Xu Lingshu be his concubine in the future, but why did everyone disappear in the blink of an eye, all of this seemed to be in a dream.
After all, he and she had been married before. As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts a hundred days, so he still had some emotions. What's more, Xu Lingshu helped him so much, and the relationship between them was more than just lovers.
He sighed slightly, his eyes full of sorrow.
On the side, Ji Jianing and his brother Ji Wenyue were comforting their mother, who was in poor health. Ji Wenyue looked back at his father and saw that he still looked in pain, so he stepped forward and handed him a handkerchief.
Ji Wuxuan looked up at him, reached out to take the handkerchief, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He sighed again and said, "Go back home and sort out your cousin's things. Pack up what you can and send them to the Xu family when you can. After all, she has lived in our house."
Ji Wenyue nodded, "I understand, Dad."
After finishing speaking, he still stood still, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Ji Wuxuan couldn't help but become suspicious when he saw this, "Is there anything else?"
Ji Wenyue said nothing and only looked at the maid and servant not far away. Ji Wuxuan understood immediately.
The father and son left the main hall and stood under the pavilion not far away. Ji Wenyue just said, "Dad, I think there is something strange about these assassins. Something is wrong."
Ji Wuxuan's heart trembled, "How do you know?"
Ji Wenyue whispered: "I am just guessing. When I came here, I noticed that the uncle was not cruel at all, and the assassin who fought with him only made a few gestures and did not actually fight."
He paused and continued: "But these are my guesses. The strangest thing is King Chen and his wife. Don't they all say that Mo Zeshen has great martial arts skills? His father-in-law's family was attacked by assassins. Why didn't he take action?"
After hearing his son's words, Ji Wuxuan's expression immediately changed.
Thinking back carefully, it was indeed true. Why didn't Mo Zeshen take action?
He also recalled the scene where the assassin just killed Xu Lingshu. It was obvious that their family was the closest to the assassin, but the assassin chose to stay far away and chose to kill Xu Lingshu who was standing further away.
These details told Ji Wuxuan that these people were here for Xu Lingshu.
But why kill her, a weak woman, and who did she offend?
Suddenly, he remembered it again.
While at the table, Xu Lingshu was obviously panicked and looked at herself several times. But he didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was acting coquettishly.
But in front of his eldest brother's family, how could he flirt with her? He had to take the child's face into consideration no matter what, so he never looked at her seriously.
Thinking about it now, Xu Lingshu had something to say to herself, but he never took it seriously, and even thought she was being ignorant.
What did she say to herself, or what did she see?
Wasn't she fine before she came here? She was fine even before she left in the middle of the trip. Why did she become restless when she came back after going to the toilet?
Could it be that she saw something she shouldn't have seen in the palace and was silenced?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my idea was right.
It must be like this, she must know something!
But what will she see that she shouldn't see?
Recalling what his son had just said, Ji Wuhen and Mo Zeshen both had problems, but was it Ji Wuhen's idea or Mo Zeshen's? Or both of them.
In short, there is something wrong with this Zhennan Palace!
