Chapter 39 - Starting with Zhu Xin

After returning to the bedroom, Zhuo Qingyan sat there in a daze, her fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop, her eyes unfocused.

Chu Yi Chen came out from the back room and saw her like this.

He walked forward and pulled her up before softly hugging her. ”You don't trust Ben Wang?”

Zhuo Qingyan was stunned and shook her head: ”No, why not?”

”Then what are you doing?” Chu Yi Chen looked at her.

Zhuo Qingyan pouted slightly and said, ”The matter with Mo Yu today reminded me, there are some things that I really have to do. Perhaps the people in the Zhuo Mansion are too lenient towards them, and will not let the people beside me off even after we leave that place.”

”This king has already said, I will definitely make Zhuo Qinglin pay the price. This king will handle this matter.” Chu Yi Chen said.

”You take care of Zhuo Qinglin, take care of Zhu Xin's matters, I will take care of Zhu Xin's matters!” Zhuo Qingyan raised her head and looked at him.

The certainty in her eyes tightened his heart.

”Who is Zhu Xin?” Chu Yi Chen asked.

”The servants by Zhuo Qinglin's side, heard from Mo Yu that Mo Yan and the little child died in her hands, along with second brother's mother!” Zhuo Qingyan closed her eyes.

Chu Yi Chen tightened his arms around her, hugging her even more tightly, ”A servant girl, I don't need you, right …”

”Of course not. Don't you have the twenty members of Night Wind? With their skills, it should be possible for them to capture a servant alive! ” Zhuo Qingyan's eyes darkened.

”What are you going to do after we catch you?” Chu Yi Chen couldn't help but smile. It was hard to say, but he really did like her kind of mischievous look.

Zhuo Qingyan tilted her head in his embrace and thought for a moment, ”Of course it's to interrogate her. There are some things that she probably knows more than me, and then …” I have to give Mo Yan and the little kid an explanation. ”

”Why are you so concerned about these people?” Chu Yi Chen couldn't help but ask.

Zhuo Qingyan pushed him away, then turned and sat down in front of the table. When she reached for the pot, he snatched it away, took the warm milk from the small stove by the side, poured it into her cup, pushed it over and poured himself a cup as well.

After drinking a mouthful of milk, she said: ”Back then in the firewood house, if it wasn't for Mo Yu taking the risk and sneaking in, cutting off the rope with her dagger, and warming my hands and feet, with me who was already frozen half stiff at that time, it's simply impossible for me to knock out those two servants and kill Tong Dazhu. And I might have also died outside of the manor somewhere, and my reputation would have been ruined …”

Chu Yi Chen's heart tightened again as he held her hand. ”I understand now. Don't think about those bad things anymore …”

”Mo Yan and the little child were killed by Tong Dazhu when I was captured, and from what Mo Yu said, it was also the idea of this servant called Zhu Xin. She is Zhuo Qinglin's trusted aide, so the things that she knows will definitely happen.” Zhuo Qingyan raised an eyebrow at him.

”But you don't have to personally …” Chu Yi Chen was worried, once she saw that servant Zhu Xin or that servant Zhuo Qinglin, she would not be able to hold back and kill them again.

”I won't go there myself. Let Ye Feng lead the way, she can stay there for another two days, but after that, I will make her beg me to kill her!” Zhuo Qingyan snorted coldly.

”Don't worry. Five days later, Zhuo Qinglin will also go missing. This king will definitely listen to you. The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth rose with a cold smile.

”Thank you!” Zhuo Qingyan said softly.
