Chapter 69 (2/2)

Hence they were not afraid that someone would drag the body out to examine it…

The only thing that still worried them was the escaped Ning Xuemo. If she ran far away and never appeared in front of them again, then they would not be afraid.

They were just scared that this brat would go and report this case and wanted to redress her grievances…

This was bound to be a sleepless night for them. They got their good friends from all walks of life to help them secretly search for Ning Xuemo’s whereabouts. Of course, they also checked the Marquis’ Mansion.

By daybreak, they received a report about their fruitless efforts in searching. It appeared that she did not return to the Marquis’ Mansion last night…

It seems like this cunning girl had already left the city!

At this time, they had no other solution and could only send people to search outside of the city. If they could find her, they could silence her and ensure that there will be no future troubles.

They had been extremely busy last night, causing them to be exhausted. However, they still could not go back and rest, because that person would send someone to investigate the results. Therefore, they had to hurry back.

……

Ji Yunhuang had stayed in the Imperial Palace the whole night to accompany Emperor Le Xuan. He had not been able to leave even for a moment.

Only when daybreak came did the emperor allow him to go back to his residence.

As he hurriedly left the palace, he ran into his frantic butler who reported to him the sudden bad news.

Miss Ning who he had brought back to his residence had been arrested by the Ministry of Justice!

She was arrested with the charge of murdering Marshal Hu’s daughter, Hu Diechang.
