Chapter 221: Full of Cunning Tricks (1/2)

“It might have been taken by someone!” Ouyang Shaochen suddenly said with a piercing gaze. The invisible guards were all-conquering and invincible. They were ever-triumphant on the battlefield, so it was inevitable that people would be attracted.

“Exactly!” Murong Xue nodded in agreement as she looked up at Prime Minister Xie: “Do Your Excellency know who else might know about the shadow guards of my father?”

“It was just Duke Cheng, your grandfather and I. As for others, I’m not so sure.” Prime Minister Xie said in a low voice.

Murong Xue slightly narrowed her eyes with a gleam flashing across them. Her grandfather, the Prime Minister Xie, and Duke Cheng were all civil officials and had been staying in the capital all the time. But the token of Murong Yue was missed on the battlefield. “Who were the generals with my father at that time?”

Prime Minister Xie recalled carefully: “It seems to be General Lu, General Qi, and the senior Prince Jing...”

“Was the senior Prince Jing included?” Murong Xue was absorbed in thought.

Prime Minister Xie merely said: “Um, the scale of the battle was quite large. The two countries dispatched as many as four hundred thousand to half a million soldiers and the emperor asked your father to join the battle along with the senior Prince Jing. In the last one, your father died, and the senior Prince Jing was also seriously injured. But they won in the end.”

“General Lu and General Qi were not seriously injured, but they were badly wounded in a battle a few years later. After that, they took off their armor and went home. And they have been living in the mansions close to the outskirts of the capital all this time!”

Murong Xue nodded: “I see, so I need a plan to find out where the shadow guards are.”

It was not that she did not believe the senior Prince Jing and the other two. Instead, after Murong Yue’s death, they had the easiest access to Murong Yue’s body, which made them prime suspects.

“What’s your plan?” Mu Liufeng peered at her with sparkling eyes, as if looking forward to hearing her strategy.

“You will find out soon.” Murong Xue smiled unfathomably.

In the meantime, Murong Rou was lying in bed at the Garden of Tenderness, gnashing her teeth with hatred: “Song Tianwen not only asked his butler to read the letter of divorce in public, but also employed such a despicable way to take Qingyan back to the Mansion of Marquis Wu’an. He was obviously insulting me. He had gone too far this time!”

And Murong Xue was so intelligent and formidable that it was easy for her to send the butler of the Marquis Wu’an away and keep Qingyan. But she did not say or do anything, she just watched Qingyan being taken away. How abominable!

“The letter of divorce has been read, and Qingyan have been taken away. What’s the point in saying these now?” Murong Jian stood in the middle of the room and looked down at Murong Rou with a trace of impatience in his eyes.

“Song Tianwen has regained consciousness. You mutilated him by injuring him so badly, he would never let you go easily. Writing the letter of divorce and robbing your daughter were just the start. There must be more tricks awaiting. You’d better figure out how to deal with him first.

Murong Rou gnashed her teeth inwardly. Song Tianwen was a marquis of the second-class. Although he did not have real power, he had potential force. If he decided to retaliate against her crazily, as a vulnerable woman, she would be miserable no matter how capable she was.

“If only the invisible guards that were trained by Murong Yue fall in our hands!” By that time, let alone Song Tianwen, even ten more of him would bear comparison with the invisible guards.
