Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 387.1: The Destiny of a He Family Man

Li Hong Ming waved his hand, signaling the people holding down Su Ming Zhang to let go, “What else does older cousin want to say?”

Su Ming Zhang held his head, crouching on the ground as he bitterly cried. He originally was trying to wash that prostitute. The entire process, as one can well imagine, couldn’t possibly be gentle and tender. That was practically just like a small-scale battlefield. That woman rather changed into clean clothes, just for him, practically more than half his clothes got wet. His hair was also a completely mess, and right now, his entire person was abnormally sorry looking. And with him crying this miserably, he appeared even more pitiful.

However, Li Hong Ming just coldly watched from the side. The people of the Su family rather wanted to go forward, yet in the end, got bellowed at by Su Ming Zhang, “Get lost, if not for you all telling me that she died, if not for you all………….”

Su Ming Zhang had hatred, but these were his closest family. He knew, they did it for him. Rather than saying he hated them, it was better to say that he hated himself.

“If older cousin is done venting, then quickly go clean up. There are still important matters to take care of. Or could it be that older cousin actually really wants to die?”

Did Su Ming Zhang want to die? Naturally no. His entire life, although can be said to be smooth sailing, it’s not like he has never experienced any storms before. It was nothing more than because of a face that evoked his deepest feelings, seemingly returning to the beautiful past, but the reality wasn’t beautiful.

However, “If I’d known she didn’t die, I would’ve gone to look for her. Even if not leaving by the side, I can still find for her a good home. No matter what, it wouldn’t be this outcome today.” In the end, his conscience still hasn’t completely died out.

However, Li Hong Ming unconcernedly smiled, “That is nothing more than a one-sided statement, who knows whether it’s true or not. The current state of affairs, everyone is all well aware of. Mutually hindering and setting traps, that’s something that can’t be more normal. And when there’s too many coincidences, then it’s not a coincidence anymore.”

Su Ming Zhang blanked, “Wangye is right.”

“It’s good that older cousin is awake now. Right now, we need to have the corpse properly taken care of, can’t leave behind any marks. Also, on the brothel’s side, are you all a hundred percent certain that the one that know of this matter have already been controlled? After all, it was killing someone, and not even a slave that can be casually killed. Born of the commoner class, and his father, for better or worse, is also an official. If word gets out, the consequences will be quite serious. Even if not paying with one’s life, at the minimum, it would still be getting exiled.”

Su Ming Zhang’s rationality this while came back. He also knew that he’d done something quite stupid. Fortunately, the servant boy that followed him was clever and capable. However, some things still needed to be further verified. Afterwards, they need to create another ‘murder’ case. As for the ‘killer’, first investigate whether or not the deceased had grudges with anyone. If there is, then naturally it was for the best. If not, then it’ll just be a bit more troublesome. However, it wasn’t impossible to achieve either.

Su Ming Zhang went to properly clean up, turning back into a proper gentleman again.

Li Hong Ming went to think of a way to verify the truthfulness of that prostitute’s words. However, this wasn’t a simple matter. After all, that woman originally wasn’t in the capital. To want to investigate clearly requires quite a bit of time. However, even if difficult, they still needed to do, else, if there really is a problem, then perhaps it won’t just be this bit of trouble.

Su Ming Zhang was in charge of dealing with the corpse, also letting those who knew this matter shut up. And what kind of people were able to keep a secret best? Naturally it was the dead. Compared with his own life and future, what did other insignificant people count as? That’s why, when Su Ming Zhang wanted to be ruthless, he similarly was also an extremely cold-blooded individual.

And the people of the Su family, not a single one, felt there was anything wrong with this.

Thus, Su Ming Zhang just used several human lives to pay for his mistakes, while he himself just lost a bit of wealth. This sum of money appeared to be a lot, but in reality, it wasn’t really the case. For families like theirs, earning it back wasn’t anything difficult.

This matter was very secretive, all the way until the next, there all weren’t any leaks, all the way until someone discovered a corpse outside the city. Just, judging from that scene, afraid it was just leaving the case unsettled in the end. And as for the brothel, in the capital, it wasn’t considered that famous, it was merely just missing a ‘girl’, that’s all. It’s not like she was the head courtesan, so who would go bicker over this. Just one word from the brothel keeper, saying she was freed from slavery, and this matter was just done with. As for the brothel keeper getting into an accident, it was also nothing more than letting others just sigh a few times.

How it was in the dark, no one would go care. Even if needing to, it was also just whether or not those keeping watch were able to watch closely. If able to, then whether or not it will be brought to light was all very difficult to say.

Li Hong Ming’s state of mind right now slightly pacified a little. That’s why, he was still like as if nothing happened, reporting to Jin Qinwang Manor every day. At the same time, Noble Consort Su had that last sum of money Li Hong Ming was short of given to him. As for whether or not Noble Consort Su got bullied during the process of asking for this money, Li Hong Ming never considered these problems before. After all, he didn’t know certain entanglements of the past. In his understanding, his mother was the high and esteemed Noble Consort, so who would bully her?

Another three four days had passed. Li Hong Ming once again scaled the gates, just this time, he encountered little tyrant He.

Little tyrant He’s body recovered quickly to begin with, in addition to that medicine, right now, he was already mostly healed. As such, he wasn’t able to sit still again.

Because he’d obtained an ‘imperial decree’, he also didn’t need to block Li Hong Yuan’s horse carriage again and again, instead directly visiting the manor.

Who’s Li Hong Ming? Sorry, he simply didn’t recognize. Who let Li Hong Ming not only didn’t wear the qinwang court attire, but also used such a low profile horse carriage. Moreover, he was just obediently standing outside the gate. For those who didn’t recognize, who would think of his identity.

What? He should have seen Rui Qinwang before during that fight in the palace? About that, in little tyrant He’s eyes, there was just Jin Qinwang. Even Le Cheng Emperor, if dressed differently, he similarly won’t know that is the Emperor.

As for Rui Qinwang practically visiting Jin Qinwang Manor every day, as someone that was completely uninterested in gossip, he expressed that he knew nothing at all. That’s why, for Rui Qinwang to get thoroughly ignored, it really can’t be helped.

Little tyrant He waited outside the door, his entire person all very excited. When the guard passed on the word, Eunuch Mu came out to greet. Afterwards, he just saw Li Hong Ming, who because got ignored, become gloomy.

Seemingly finally realizing there was also such a person waiting outside, Eunuch Mu hastily ran over to greet, “…………Didn’t know that wangye had graced us with your presence, asking wangye to please forgive.”

Li Hong Ming forcibly smiled, “It’s not too late to know now, this prince also just arrived.” He simply just didn’t believe that this darn lowly slave really didn’t know he was here. Moreover, he’d clearly arrived even earlier than He Shi Hai, yet they deliberately gave him the cold shoulder. However, for the sake of face, he still pretended that everything was fine. “What is your master doing right now? This prince wants to drink with him today.”

Eunuch Mu revealed an awkward smile, “Wangye, about that, our wangye, you understand, right? How about wait for this servant to go report for you first?”

Even if receiving Noble Consort Su’s warning, Li Hong Ming this while still burned in anger. He was doing everything he can to restrain himself, yet now, even a lowly slave dares to treat him as such? How can he swallow this anger? “This isn’t coming to welcome this prince? Then you have some matters to take care of right now?” What did He Shi Hai count as! To also dare ignore him!? If not for his old man, he would’ve ruthlessly taught him a lesson.

“That’s not the case, you see, young master He came to visit, so master let this servant come have the person invited in.” Eunuch Mu didn’t hide in the slightest, being especially open.

In front of Li Hong Yuan, Li Hong Ming have always gotten stepped on, unable to lift his head, but this didn’t mean that in front of a lowly slave, he similarly would just endure. If it was just this, then he also didn’t need to continue, no need to think about his grand scheme anymore, just directly go home and coop up. “Didn’t know that this prince right now was actually this lacking in status?”

Seeing Li Hong Ming’s face sink, Eunuch Mu also revealed a frightened expression, but on the inside, he was actually unfazed. He really didn’t feel that this Rui Qinwang can do anything to him. As the saying goes, when hitting a dog, you still need to look at its owner. Right now, it was Rui Qinwang ‘begging’ their master. If he dares to do anything to him, wasn’t that just giving their master an excuse to continue lashing out? Additionally, even if he really does something, it was at most nothing more than kicking him a few times to vent. When time comes, he’ll even have to find an excuse in front of master to cover up. He was nothing more than a lowly servant. Letting an esteemed qinwang ‘painstakingly’ look for an excuse, it can also be considered worth it.

Moreover, Eunuch Mu was further clear, don’t look at how these wangyes were bouncing around that vigorously right now, in reality, they completely weren’t his own master’s opponent. In Eunuch Mu’s eyes, they can’t even be considered opponents. After all, right now, they were still completely clueless towards master, yet master had their situation thoroughly grasped in hand, even able to have them spun in circles both on the surface and in the dark, letting things become even more chaotic between them, mutually attacking one another. It really can’t be more entertaining.
