Chapter 122 Liu Yi just died!
Mrs. Hu is not very old. Perhaps due to proper maintenance, or perhaps due to natural beauty, her skin is as fair as that of a young woman in her late teens or early twenties.
Her body was very supple, with perfect curves and a mature charm that a young girl lacked. Although her face was not stunning, it was very pleasing to the eye and the more you looked at her, the more you liked her.
The orchid in the secluded valley possesses an elegant and refined temperament, which, when combined with that panicked and fragile appearance, makes it even more endearing.
Holding her soft, warm body in his arms, a faint fragrance of orchids wafted into his nostrils, and Ying Jing couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. This was a type of woman he had never encountered before.
"Is the lady well?"
Ying Jing spoke softly.
Mrs. Hu felt herself sinking into a warm embrace, and her already incredibly soft body seemed to become even softer.
A small, fair, and soft hand unconsciously grasped Ying Jing's heavy hand.
"Lord Changxin..."
Thinking of what Liu Yi had said at home before his death, Madam Hu felt a wave of shame.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but the person holding her right now is Ying Jing!
Her cascading hair was slightly disheveled, and a blush rose to her snow-white collarbone.
"Madam need not worry. The Ninth Prince and the General only want to find out about the Left Sima's murder as soon as possible. They will not cause any damage to your household."
Ying Jing gently helped Madam Hu to her feet, withdrawing his heavy hand from her soft, delicate one, his tone gentle.
Feeling the warmth of her breath and hearing that gentle voice, Madam Hu's fair and elegant face flushed even more, her shyness deepening, yet a strange longing welled up from the bottom of her heart.
She gently bit her pearly teeth; her cherry lips, though unadorned with rouge, possessed a subtle, elegant, and healthy rosy glow.
Her lips twitched a few times, but Madam Hu was unable to utter a single word.
"Yes……"
Such a vulnerable appearance, as if she had been bullied but could only helplessly endure it, is truly heart-stirring.
"hey-hey……"
Upon seeing this scene, Ji Wuye couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.
Han Fei and Zhang Liang, standing to the side, also had strange expressions. They had noticed that Changxin Jun seemed to be a bit of a womanizer at Zilan Pavilion that day, and in a short time, he had made Zilan Pavilion's top courtesan Qin Ji lose her mind.
But this Madam Hu...
Liu Yi just died, and his body hasn't even been properly disposed of yet!
……
The residence of Liu Yi, the Left Sima.
Ying Jing knew the outcome and was too lazy to bother. He simply sat in the living room to rest, while Madam Hu sat to one side, looking somewhat reserved.
Han Fei and Zhang Liang, on the other hand, were quite diligent in looking around, and were very interested.
Ji Wuye even led a small team of about thirty people to search the mansion.
Although Ji Wuye was somewhat displeased with Liu Yi's attempt to curry favor with Changxin Jun and escape his control, he never intended to kill him.
Regardless of the circumstances, Liu Yi was someone he had personally promoted and who controlled a portion of the city's defense forces.
Of course, the most crucial factor was the timing of Liu Yi's death. He died right after Ji Wuye had summoned him, which caused him considerable trouble.
Ying Jing took a sip of the tea brewed by Madam Hu, but his gaze fell on the fire rain agate at her waist.
Such an undisguised gaze left this delicate beauty, who had just lost her husband, somewhat at a loss.
Without realizing it, she would think of the words Liu Yi had said before he died... Madam Hu blushed instantly, and her beautiful legs under her blue-green skirt couldn't help but squeeze together a little.
Ying Jing gave her a strange look; this woman seemed like an easy-to-bully widow.
"The accessory that the lady is wearing at her waist is quite unique."
With the Corpse-Driving Demon guarding outside, the atmosphere between the lone man and woman was rather awkward, so Ying Jing took the initiative to start a conversation.
Madam Hu's body trembled instantly. She took off the Fire Rain Agate from her waist and held it in her hand. It was as red as blood and seemed to glow.
"This is fire rain agate, produced in Baiyue, and it's very rare now..."
As if recalling the past, Madam Hu's low and gentle voice suddenly became somewhat sorrowful.
As if Ying Jing's words had stirred up the deepest, sad memories in her heart, her eyes suddenly reddened and welled up with tears, her expression sorrowful.
Ying Jing ignored this pitiful and endearing appearance.
"I have heard that when Lord Huoyu and Huoyu Manor were still around, Huoyu agate was highly sought after for its unique color and texture. Unfortunately, after a period of turmoil, Huoyu agate became rare in the world."
According to the intelligence gathered by Luo Wang, the mine that produced Fire Rain Agate had actually been emptied out by Fire Rain Gong back then.
Aside from those that had already been sold, all the remaining Fire Rain Agate, along with his immense wealth, was hidden away.
After Fire Rain Manor was burned to the ground... these riches also disappeared.
With the production of fire rain agate ceasing, those that still circulate in the world have been treasured and are naturally difficult to find again.
"To be honest, Lord Changxin, I am the daughter of Lord Huoyu, and that is why I possess a piece of Huoyu Agate, but this is the only one I have."
"This Fire Rain Agate is very important to me, please forgive me for not being able to give it up."
Madam Hu gripped the Fire Rain Agate tightly in her hand, looking at Ying Jing with some wariness.
She could tell that this Lord Changxin seemed very interested in fire rain agate.
Ying Jing shook his head: "Madam is overthinking it. Although the Fire Rain Agate is precious, it is not unique. If I want it, I can find it myself."
"It's quite a coincidence, actually. I saw another piece of Fire Rain Agate in the Purple Orchid Pavilion just yesterday."
