Chapter 246 Whether She Loves Me or Not, I Will Get Her Back

In the early morning, when everything was still asleep, the saint's will had already reached the Jiang family.

The once powerful Jiang family was reduced to ashes.

The day after Concubine Duan was executed, the emperor appointed Concubine Shu as Imperial Noble Concubine, giving her full authority over all affairs of the six palaces.

After receiving the imperial edict, Concubine Shu held her chest and called her trusted female official: "Hurry up and arrange for my brother to enter the palace. I have something important to discuss with him."

Concubine Chen and Concubine Duan were both killed by the Saint. Concubine Shu, who seemed to have no rivals in the harem, felt increasingly uneasy at this moment.

The female official respectfully agreed and brought another piece of news: "The concubine Li in the harem just gave birth to a dragon heir. Concubine Li died of postpartum hemorrhage."

Died?

Concubine Shu frowned: "What about the child? Did the Saint say which palace he will be raised in?"

The female official replied, "The Saint has just ordered someone to take the baby to Zhanghua Terrace to give to Concubine Jing."

Kill the mother and save the child.

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly and murmured, "How cruel!"

After being stunned for a while, he urged the female official, "Hurry up and arrange for the prince to come to the palace."

Concubine Shu waited for two days, and on the third day, Lu Ji was ordered to enter the palace.

When Concubine Shu saw her brother, she was like she had found a savior: "Brother, it's just as you expected. The old man really gave Li Meiren's son to Concubine Jing."

"Oh, I guess the next person he's going to deal with is me, brother, you better think of a solution."

Concubine Shu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Lu Ji just sat in the chair without saying a word.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu stopped nagging and glanced at her brother's gloomy face. She asked tentatively, "Still no news about Ah Ning?"

If the saint had not intended to grant the marriage, the Lu family would not have been in a hurry to arrange an engagement for Lu Ji. If there had not been an engagement with the daughter of Wang from Langya, the girl would not have left him.

Lu Ji remained silent for a long while before answering the question irrelevantly: "Zhao Che will definitely deal with the Lu family and will not tolerate my eldest sister and her son."

He looked at Concubine Shu, his eyes were fierce: "Either he dies or I wait to die, can my elder sister be so cruel?"

When Lu Ji came out of the imperial city, the moon was already high in the sky. After returning to the mansion, he went straight to the study.

Ever since Qin Xiaoning left, Lu Ji no longer returned to Qingsongyuan to live.

Without the presence of his beloved there, he just felt uneasy.

Desheng saw the people coming back and came in as usual to reply: "My Lord, the people from all over the country reported back today, but there is still no news about Miss Qin."

It has been more than a month since the person left, and Lu Ji has been searching for her desperately, but the little girl seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no news at all.

"Keep looking."

Lu Ji held his forehead with his hand, thought for a while, and then reminded: "Tell them to look carefully for the cities that they passed through during the southern tour last year. Don't miss any of them."

As Desheng received the order and went out, Wang Fengyi went into the study.

The man was sitting there in a daze, his resolute face was tightly tensed, his eyes were filled with sadness and indescribable dejection.

"cousin--"

It wasn't until Wang Fengyi spoke that Lu Ji came back to his senses.

"What are you doing here?" When the man saw his fiancée, his face was filled with boredom and his tone was cold.

"I heard that my cousin has been depressed because of Miss Qin's matter, so I came to see him." As she said this, she put the food box she brought on the table and placed the food in front of Lu Ji one by one: "No matter how upset my cousin is, he must take care of himself."

Lu Ji didn't even glance at him, and just replied calmly: "I have something else to do, please go back."

Facing the man's order to leave, Wang Fengyi had no intention of leaving. She personally handed a bowl of soup to Lu Ji: "This is the lily and lotus seed soup I made myself. It is the best for clearing away heat and relieving internal heat. Cousin, don't you want to try it?"

"Do not want to."

Lu Ji replied coldly, then pushed away the bowl of soup in front of him: "I don't eat food made by people with ulterior motives."

Wang Fengyi paused when she heard this. She put down the bowl of soup, looked at Lu Ji and asked, "What do you mean by this, cousin?"

Lu Ji snorted coldly: "Cousin, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Wang Fengyi asked back, "Do you still suspect that I was the one who ordered that scoundrel who came to recognize his relatives?"

Lu Ji did not comment.

Wang Fengyi's face flushed slightly, and her tone became excited: "Cousin, you have no evidence, are you going to wrongly accuse me like this?"

Lu Ji gave her a serious look and said, "I will find out the truth sooner or later."

"Then go check it out." Wang Fengyi smiled coldly: "I have never seen someone as stubborn as you. For the sake of a concubine, you repeatedly wronged your wife."

"Lu Ji, you better be clear-headed. That woman doesn't love you at all. Otherwise, why would she leave?"

Before Wang Fengyi could finish, Lu Ji slammed the table and said, "Shut up."

"Am I wrong?" Wang Fengyi said angrily, "For the sake of fame and wealth, she even disowned her own father. How much affection do you think she can have for you?"

"Lu Ji, are you still obsessed with her?"

Lu Ji looked at Wang Fengyi coldly and said word by word: "Whether she truly loves me or not, I will find her back."

The girl who is being scolded as being obsessed is now making arrangements to move to a new home.

The official residence introduced by Shen Qingshu was finally bought by Qin Xiaoning. On the second day after completing the formalities, Qin Xiaoning bid farewell to the Zhao family and moved to her own new house.

She had originally hired a moving vehicle, but Zhao Yuan insisted on coming in person. He also brought along the maid named Wang, who served her at the Zhao family, and her husband.

Qin Xiaoning felt bad: "I have disturbed you for several days in your mansion, how can I accept another maid from you?"

Zhao Yuan carried Qin Xiaoning's luggage into the house, brushed off the dust on his body, and replied with a smile: "My mother and I treat you as a family member, why are you so polite? Sister Wang is capable and thoughtful, it's just right to keep her to help you, and there is also Brother Li, he is a martial artist, you are a girl, you always need a guard."

That day, Zhao Yuan confessed his feelings to her. In order to make him give up, Qin Xiaoning said something very decisive. Zhao Yuan did avoid her for two days, but when he heard that she had moved, he was so considerate to help take care of her, which made Qin Xiaoning feel a little guilty.

"Then I will let Sister Wang and her husband stay." Qin Xiaoning was reluctant to refuse the kindness, but she didn't want to take too much advantage of them: "You take this fifty taels of silver, and let Sister Wang and her husband stay with me in the future."

The couple were servants of the Zhao family.

Zhao Yuan smiled when he heard this, and then took out a few ingots of silver from his pocket: "This is what you left behind, right? My mother specifically asked me to return it to you."

The two men stood face to face, each holding silver in their hands, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.

Qin Xiaoning said hurriedly, "I have been bothering you for a few days. Although this little bit of silver is not much, it is also a small token of my appreciation. Otherwise, I would be really uneasy."

"Why are you so polite?"

Zhao Yuan stuffed the silver back into Qin Xiaoning's hands without any hesitation.
