Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 1013 Did You Ever Think You Have Today?

Qingshang smiled mysteriously and said, "Ma'am, you don't know something. When the fifth princess got married, didn't you pretend to be fainted by steward Zhou's sweat medicine? At that time, Jingyan met Li Ruolin in the front yard of the main hall. He also has a crush on her."

Zhuo Nan's eyes shone brightly and said coldly: "Then he is doomed to be disappointed." The Qiu family would never let him marry Li Ruolin.

While speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Butler Qing walking towards him.

After approaching, Steward Qing bowed his head and saluted, "Ma'am, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to convey that the Prime Minister's wife has died."

Zhuo Nan: "..." After a moment of silence, he said, "Prepare the car immediately."

"The carriage is ready." After finishing speaking, the steward Qing led the way and sent Zhuo Nan to the gate of Jing Mansion, watched her get into the carriage before turning and leaving.

On the carriage, Zhuo Nan glanced coldly at Qing Shang and Qing Liu, and asked coldly, "Which of you two is talking?"

Qingliu said with a blank face: "At midnight last night, Zhuo Ziao sneaked into Tianyinju, strangled the prime minister's wife, and then escaped."

Zhuo Nan: "..." It turned out that Zhuo Ziao killed his mother...retribution.Thinking of something, he asked, "Where's the hidden guard beside her?"

Qingliu: "The Lord has ordered the Blood Demon Gate to be recalled."

Zhuo Nan instantly understood everything and closed his eyes.

The hidden guard beside the mother was a secret agent arranged by the Xueshamen back then, in order to monitor the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now that his father is dead, the hidden guards will naturally have to withdraw.

It seemed that Zhuo Ziao's killing of his mother was retribution, but she knew very well that it must have been done on purpose by Jinghuhu.

He could have killed Li Shi easily, but he used a knife to kill him in a roundabout way, just to help her avenge, and worried that she would resent him.

She just pretended to...know nothing.

Seeing that Zhuo Nan closed her eyes and already guessed the truth, Qingshang opened her mouth and was about to explain something to Jing Rong when she suddenly opened her eyes with a calm look on her face, and immediately understood that she did not blame Jing Rong for Li's death. Only then did I feel relieved.

Seeing that Zhuo Nan had already guessed the truth about Li Shi's death, Qingliu quickly regained his composure, and did not intend to pursue Jing Rong to settle the score.He lowered his head, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Situ House.

Zhuo Qing woke up a bit late because she was pregnant, she was eating breakfast, but suddenly received a report from the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that Mrs. Li had been killed!

Zhuo Qing blinked and looked at Zi Yuan in disbelief. "Did you hear me wrong?"

Ziyuan said with a serious face: "The slave has already confirmed it to the boy who came to report the letter."

Only then did Zhuo Qing believe it.How could a slave dare to joke casually about the life of the prime minister's wife, and suddenly asked, "When did he die? How did he die? Who killed it? Has the murderer been caught?"

"I heard that he was strangled to death in the middle of the night last night. I don't know who the murderer is." The murderer is too courageous!Even the prime minister's wife dared to strangle to death!
It seems that Mrs. Li is really dead!After making sure, Zhuo Qing looked at Zi Yuan and ordered, "Get the car ready immediately."

Zi Yuan turned and left.

Zhuo Qing stood up and walked into the inner room, sat in front of the dressing table and stared at herself in the bronze mirror, said fiercely, "Mr. Li! You don't even let a dead person go, but you never thought you would have today!"

For the sake of the dead third aunt, she originally planned to find a chance to seek revenge from Mrs. Li.

Now it's easy, there's no need for it, and she has one less enemy!
Fifth Prince's Mansion, Fuxi Pavilion.

The fifth prince sat in front of the bed, looking at Zhuo Ran who was still unwilling to wake up, his face was very gloomy.His gaze slowly moved down and landed on her protruding belly, the hostility was swept away and he became gentle in an instant.

Suddenly a servant girl hurried in and knelt down. "Master, Wang Zuo has something urgent to see."

The Fifth Prince turned around and walked out of the house to the courtyard.

Wang Zuo immediately stepped forward and reported: "My lord, the spies came to report that the prime minister's wife was strangled to death last night. When the queen mother learned that she was furious, she ordered the queen to stay in the harem and went to the prime minister's residence in person. The prince and Mr. Jing accompanied her. Mrs. Jing Hearing the news, the general's wife also drove to the prime minister's residence immediately."

"Who did it?" He admired the murderer so much that he dared to ignore the queen mother and kill the prime minister's wife at the risk of exterminating the nine clans!This courage is unmatched!

Wang Zuo said affirmatively, "Zhuo Ziao, he has escaped and disappeared."

"Zhuo Ziao?" The fifth prince was slightly taken aback, and then he remembered that Zhuo Ziao, the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion who he had forgotten for a long time, once relied on the empress dowager's favor to run amok in the entire capital and disregard human lives.

In the past, even he, the prince, tried every means to curry favor with him!

Suddenly looked up and laughed. "Hahahaha! Well done! Well done!"

It would be better if the Empress Dowager was overly saddened by Li's death, and Zhuo Ziao, the real culprit, could not be caught and punished severely.
Looking at Wang Zuo in a good mood, he ordered: "Let's go! The prince will pay homage to his mother-in-law on behalf of the princess! Put incense sticks on her!"

In front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jingfu's carriage stopped slowly, Zhuo Nan got out of the carriage and saw that the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of imperial guards, already guessing that Mrs. Li was dead, and alarmed the Queen Mother in the palace.

The sound of horseshoes came from behind again, Zhuo Nan looked back and saw a group of officers and soldiers on horseback guarding Situ Mansion's carriage and stopped slowly.

Ziyuan helped Zhuo Qing get off the carriage.

The two looked at each other, Zhuo Nan turned around and led Qing Shang and Qing Liu into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion first.

Just two steps away, I heard the cold voice of the imperial guards behind me. "Madam General, please leave the guard behind!"

Zhuo Nan couldn't help turning his head again, and saw that the imperial guards guarding the gate stopped all the officers and soldiers brought by Zhuo Qing from entering the gate.

Zhuo Qing had no choice but to leave behind the officers and soldiers Situ Weiguo had left for her, and took Zi Yuan to the prime minister's mansion alone.

The two stepped into Tianyinju with their maids one after the other.

After passing through the front yard and stepping into the inner courtyard, I heard the crying of the queen mother from inside the house.

There were many eunuchs and maids standing in the corners of the courtyard, and Wu An, the leader of the guards, was also there.

Wu An saw Zhuo Nan who walked in first, and immediately stepped forward to salute. "Mrs. Jing, the queen mother is in the house. The crown prince and Lord Jing are also inside." Seeing Zhuo Nan's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about Li's death at all, he couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart.

"En." Zhuo Nan nodded slightly at him, leaving Qingshang and Qingliu in the courtyard, and stepped into the house alone.

Wu An then saluted Zhuo Qing who was one step behind. "Madame General."

Zhuo Qing asked in a low voice with a sad look on her face: "My mother...really...?"

Wu An nodded.

The tears that swirled in Zhuo Qing's eyes instantly fell because of Wu An's nod, passing across her beautiful face, making people feel distressed and affectionate.

Seeing Zhuo Qing's tears, Wu An recalled Zhuo Nan's indifferent face just now, and sighed slightly in his heart. People who didn't know thought that the general's wife was Li's own daughter.

Zhuo Qing took out a handkerchief and quickly wiped away her tears, leaving Zi Yuan behind, and then stepped into the house.

Seeing the crown prince standing with Jing Rong, without Zhuo Nan, he stepped forward to salute the crown prince.
