After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 382

Mother had tried to get A Ying to go to the Ye family to nurture the pregnancy many times, but she had been refused by him every time.

This man was really stingy.

Ye Qingchi didn't say it outright either, he just worried along with her in his heart about A Ying's health. However, he was very assured about this sister, "Although this is what's said, A Ying is someone who has her own ideas and won't do anything reckless. She has her own purpose in going to the Ye family."

It was precisely because she was someone with proper ideas that Zhao Changdu frowned, worried about her not taking care of herself after he left Bianjing.

"Alright, alright." Su He yawned lazily. "Let's first talk about the main issue."

He had run three horses to death, rushing back to Bianjing overnight. He didn't even go back to the Yong'an Marquis Manor and came straight to the Fuyun Building. He was feeling sleepy right now.

Zhao Changdu glared at him coldly.

"I'm blind right now!" Su He exclaimed. "You're still glaring at me!"

The girl in green burst out laughing. Realizing it was inappropriate for the occasion, she quickly covered her lips and swallowed the rest of her laughter.

Su He was even more annoyed now. His handsome face flushed slightly. "Can't you give your brother some face in front of a woman when I'm blind?"

The corner of Zhao Changdu's mouth twitched. "You can't see yet you know I'm glaring at you?"

"I'm blind but not blind in the heart."

Although he couldn't see, he instinctively felt that wave of bone-chilling coldness from Zhao Changdu surge towards him.

He knew A Ying was his precious treasure, so he wouldn't underestimate him.

Su He licked his dry lips and hastily sat up straight, saying innocently, "Weren't you guys saying there were inside details about last night? As the owner of Fuyun Building, I rushed over obediently even though I'm blind in one eye to share your worries and solve your problems. Changdu, why are you glaring at me for no reason? I didn't do anything to wrong you, right?"

Zhao Changdu picked up the teacup and took a light sip, his face expressionless.

Su He resignedly stretched out his finger, pointing at the empty air in front of him and gesturing at the people below in a somewhat silly manner.

"You two, hurry and tell this gentleman upstairs about last night's events in every single detail."

The people from Fuyun Building below spoke up nervously, "Yesterday evening, after the Crown Prince's wife and Fourth Young Lady had just left the palace, rumors were already spreading in the East Market when their carriage passed by. The rumors originated from a beggar and soon spread across the entire East Market. This kind of transmission speed means there must have been someone pushing the momentum from behind. We searched for a very long time before finding the beggar, but he seemed to have some mental issues and refused to speak no matter how we asked."

"Oh right, when subordinates were investigating where the Crown Prince's wife and Fourth Young Lady were taken, we discovered there were two groups of people following Fourth Young Lady's carriage. One group was Mu Nanfeng while the other group's identity was unknown. However, Mu Nanfeng also noticed that group and fought with them, killing them before throwing the bodies into the yard of the dilapidated residence next door."

"Two groups?" Ye Qingchi murmured as he stroked his thin lips, feeling like things were becoming more complicated.

He raised his eyes to look at the man sitting in the main seat. Zhao Changdu's face was expressionless, only a hint of an impending storm brewing in his dark brows and eyes.

"The beggar and corpses have already been brought back to Fuyun Building by subordinates."

After speaking, five corpses were neatly arranged in the center of the great hall.

A beggar who looked to be in his early twenties was also dragged up and tossed into the hall. He was covered in filth with tattered clothes, looking extremely miserable.

However, it could be seen that although this person was just a beggar who had wandered for many years with thick layers of dirt on his face that nearly obscured his original appearance, he had a pair of clear black and white eyes.

Although Su He couldn't see, the corners of his eyes and mouth carried a hint of smugness, even his crossed legs couldn't help perking up.

After all, these were people trained by him. Fuyun Building handled matters swiftly and appropriately.

"What do you think? No one's gone to check the identities of the killers?"

Zhao Changdu had already risen from his chair when he started speaking.

Su He closed his mouth awkwardly. Just because his eyes were blind didn't mean his ears were deaf. From the whiff of Zhao Changdu's deep fragrant scent that brushed past him, he knew this man couldn't remain seated.

In Bianjing city, anyone who dared make a move against A Ying had some abilities.

He was afraid that when this Prince Yan found out who they were, it would be the end for them.

He sat there contentedly. Since he was blind, he should just thoroughly enjoy this rare leisurely time.

After examining the corpses, Ye Qingchi stood up and said coldly, "These five people seem to be masters of the jianghu. Is it necessary to use such skills just to capture two young ladies?"

Zhao Changdu's eyes were pitch black. "They were people from Lu Yitang."

"Lu Yitang?" Ye Qingchi frowned, suddenly recalling. "Xia Zixi?!"

Five years ago, Xia Zixi had received orders to eradicate the assassination organization Lu Yitang from the jianghu. After completing this, all of Lu Yitang's assassins disappeared from the jianghu. When he returned to Bianjing to report, Xia Zixi displayed fifty corpses in front of the Emperor. Twenty more people were still at large.

Nothing more was done about it in the five years since. It seemed those remaining people had been recruited by him for his own use in secret.

Zhao Changdu gave a cold laugh. "Xia Zixi is backed by Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan is backed by Li Yang."

Ye Qingchi's expression also turned ugly. "No wonder Li Yang was so unbridled last night. Turns out he already knew early on that A Ying would be taken away last night."

If he had really succeeded in this matter, then... A Ying's reputation as the Crown Prince's wife of the Zhenguo Duke Manor would be ruined overnight, with unimaginable consequences.

This Li Yang really deserved death!

Zhao Changdu's eyes grew increasingly cold and murderous at the thought of Li Yang still coveting his little girl. The urge to kill in his heart stirred restlessly.

He ground his teeth. "Good...Li Yang."

Ye Qingchi sneered coldly. "This Li Yang really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Zhao Changdu was somewhat nonchalant. "Since it's like this, he can just die."

Sensing things were getting out of hand, Su He shrank back his neck, feeling chilled.

Killing a prince wasn't as simple as killing a pig. There were still many procedures to follow.

Although they were all on Crown Prince Dong's side, if they really casually killed Li Yang like this, the one in the palace probably wouldn't agree to it. It might even implicate their respective families.

The Zhao family aside, with Zhao Changdu being the only rebel in the family, fearless of heaven or earth and willing to overturn the rule of Dong Li. But his Su family still had an empress presiding in the imperial harem.

He groped to stand up. "Calm down, you two!"

"Listen to me." Su He was very sober. After losing sight, his mind had become much more agile and clear. He slowly said, "These two groups had different aims. One group's target was sister-in-law, while the other group's target was Gu Shuang. Li Yang is easy to handle, he did it just for the sake of a woman in the end. But what about Mu Nanfeng? How can you explain him? He can't have been after Gu Shuang for marriage."
