Chapter 805 Chess Piece (1)
After Fang Chen left Ling Wei's yard, he returned home with a worried look on his face, which made Ji Xiaomu approach him worriedly. "What's wrong?"
"Why do you look so worried? Is there something wrong with Chen Zihao?" Mother Ji looked at Fang Chen and asked worriedly.
Fang Chen came back to his senses and saw Ji Xiaomu's worried look. He hugged her apologetically. "No, Chen Zihao was very sincere. He told me all the information he knew."
"Why are you so worried?" Mother Ji breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Ling Wei was going to be heartbroken again.
"I'm worried about Li Hong." Fang Chen sighed, "Just now Chen Zihao said that the Prime Minister had sent pawns to Li Hong for many years, at least fifteen years..."
"Anything else?" Mother Ji looked at Fang Chen, he had something else to say.
"That man's surname is Lu." Fang Chen gritted his teeth.
"...Butler Lu?" The first person that Ji Xiaomu thought of was Butler Lu, who had been with Li Hong for many years.
"There are only three people who have been with him for more than ten years, and their surname is Lu..." Fang Chen said with a headache, "The blow Thirteen has suffered now..."
Ji Xiaomu also felt a little distressed. She and Fang Chen both knew that Li Hong treated Butler Lu as an elder and as his relative. Even when he and Si Jing got married, they only bowed to him in vain.
If I knew that Steward Lu had been a pawn sent by the Prime Minister from a long time ago, I would feel betrayed...
"Should I tell him?" Ji Xiao's eyes were red. Li Hong was so pitiful.
He is truly a motherless child, like a weed.
The only person who protected him growing up was actually a pawn sent by someone else.
I originally thought that he was sincerely protecting his master, but I didn't expect that he actually had an ulterior motive.
So sad.
"Goodbye..." Fang Chen said reluctantly.
This is too cruel.
The two looked at each other and were silent.
"Oh..." I could only sigh.
"Or you can ask Li Hong to come over and tell him in person?" suggested Ji Xiaomu.
"...Okay." Fang Chen also thought that this method was feasible, so he wrote a letter asking Li Hong to take time to come over to discuss important matters.
Early the next morning, Heyang City was awakened by a group of soldiers. The people were always afraid when they saw the soldiers and were in panic. At this time, the people from the escort agency suddenly appeared. They were standing at the intersection wearing the escort agency's clothes. As long as there were people who did not get out of the way in time and were almost trampled by the soldiers, they would step forward to rescue them.
Over time, the people were no longer afraid when they saw the people from the escort agency. The worst that could happen was that they would just walk to the sides instead of in the middle of the road.
After running around Heyang City for several times for unknown reasons, the soldiers and horses headed towards the Second Prince's territory, where they were driven away by the Second Prince. Then they ran to the Third Prince's territory. The Third Prince ignored them and let them run around the city for several laps before leaving.
Just as Chen Zihao had expected, the soldiers did not take any action except running around the city a few times. They did not even stop to rest. They were really just pretending.
When Chen Zihao found out, he was playing chess with Ling Wei. In order to pamper his wife, he didn't dare to put the chess pieces in a good position, for fear that he would not be able to "lose" to her.
"Miss, those soldiers have left." When the Ling family disciple reported, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Zihao.
"Got it, step back!" Ling Wei was struggling over where to put the chess piece in her hand, she just found a place that she liked and put it down, then said.
"Just as you expected." After seeing the Ling family disciples leave, Ling Wei raised her head and looked at Chen Zihao, with heartache in her eyes.
