"I have other things to deal with, so I have to leave." Jiang Wei glanced at Pei Moning and turned to leave.

Pei Moning stared at the back of Jiang Wei and smiled.

Runyu stared at Pei Moning and smiled. It was unexpected that Pei Moning was attracted by a beautiful lady and fell in love with her.

Pei Moning stared at Jiang Wei for a long time.

Runyu said to him, "Mr. Pei, don't you worry about Jiang Hu Martial Club since you have left there for such a long time?"

"Ah... I don't worry about those kids." Hearing this, Pei Moning turned back and said.

Seeing people in the Blossoming Peach chat with Yang Zijin with a smile, he turned back and said to Runyu, "Let's go back and have a look."

Runyu nodded and left the Blossoming Peach together, walking towards the Jiang Hu Martial Club.

In the Jiang Hu Martial Club

The moment he went to the gate, Pei Moning heard the noise from the martial club.

Pei Moning turned back and said to Runyu, "As I said, they are practicing hard now."

"I think the sound is a little bit strange." Runyu frowned and stared at Pei Moning.

Pei Moning gave Runyu an angry stare, "Anything wrong? It must be the sound of the practice."

"Let's go in quickly and have a look." Runyu heard this and smiled slightly, walking into the Jiang Hu Martial Club.

Pei Moning snorted, "Why not?"

Then he followed Runyu quickly.

Dozens of people gathered together in the courtyard and screamed from time to time.

Pei Moning frowned and walked near to hear clearly. They said they bet the big one.

"Eldest brother, bet on the small ones. Believe me."

Pei Moning was embarrassed. He never thought these kids were gambling when he was out.

He walked near to these people and patted one of them on his shoulder.

That man shrugged his shoulder and said impatiently, "Don't touch me."

Hearing this, Pei Moning became angry.

And then he continued to pat the man on his shoulder.

That man turned back and shouted, "Are you... Master."

Seeing Pei Moning, the man paused and greeted him in a low voice.

And then he warned other people next to him by patting them.

At this time all the people found something wrong and turned back. They found that Pei Moning was staring at them.

They all lowered their heads.

Li Shan quickly put the dice down and said in a low voice, "Master."

Pei Moning was out of temper and scolded Li Shan, "As the eldest brother, how could you allow your brothers to gamble together? If I come back two days later, will the martial club be a house of gambling?"

After hearing this, Runyu smiled and walked to the backyard alone.

Pei Moning rebuked the people of the martial club and walked to the backyard out of temper.

Qiao Shu returned to the room, breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know what to do. Today she accidentally met Shuo Ling. Next time, it would not be easy for her to go there again. She was in a great quandary.

Qiao Shu blamed it on Yang Zijin. Had Yang Zijin not appeared before, she would not have met Lan Ruojing. She would not have faced such a dilemma.

Qiao Shu forgot her own self-reflection but only remembered the hatred of Yang Zijin.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shu crumpled up the sheet.

Just then the door of her room was knocked, "Qiao Shu, are you feeling good after a rest? I have let the cook make some dishes. How about eating some food?"

Qiao Shu hurried to take off her shoes, lay on her bed, and calmed down, "Dad, I'm awake."

Qiao Shu didn't want Qiao Yanlin to worry about her and forced a smile.

After hearing what Qiao Shu said, Qiao Yanlin opened the door with some dishes.

He put the dishes on the table.

Qiao Shu sat up from the bed, walked to the table, and smiled, "Thank you, Dad."

"Do you feel better?" Qiao Yanlin asked Qiao Shu.

Qiao Shu nodded, "I feel much better after sleep."

"OK. Hurry to eat some food in case you get hungry." Qiao Yanlin heard this and rested assured.

Seeing Qiao Shu finish the meal, Qiao Yanlin said to her, "OK, I have something to deal with. If you are still feeling sick, then have more rest."

"OK, Dad." Qiao Shu replied and stood up.

The instant Qiao Yanlin stepped out she heard someone said, "What a good appetite, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Shu was surprised, turned to see Lan Ruojing, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Qiao Shu ran to close the door.

"How is the matter going?" Lan Ruojing dallied with the teacups on the table casually and asked Qiao Shu.

Qiao Shu walked here and asked with horror, "The mansion of Marquis is well-guarded. I went into the mansion by making an excuse for losing something there. But I didn't see Xu Qing. The guard in the mansion of Marquis was skeptical about me, so I left there."

"So you not only didn't kill him but also found nothing!" Lan Ruojing said and crushed the cup. His face became gloomy.

Qiao Shu saw this and felt afraid, "Mr. Lan, I have found something."

Lan Ruojing stared at Qiao Shu, "Really?"

"When I searched the last part of the mansion, the guards in the mansion of Marquis stared at me and there were more guards than before." Qiao Shu said and waited for the response of Lan Ruojing.

After hearing this, Lan Ruojing squinted, "Shuo Ling has prepared for it before. Since Shuo Ling wants to protect him, it will not be easy for you to find him."

"This time I will let you go." Lan Ruojing looked at Qiao Shu and said.

He stood up and jumped out the window.

When Lan Ruojing left, Qiao Shu collapsed and she felt really afraid when she saw Lan Ruojing's face.

It was all caused by Yang Zijin. Qiao Shu hated to be threatened by others. She had to be obedient to Lan Ruojing, which made her feel depressed.

Qiao Shu twisted her clothes and sobbed. She was unhappy when she couldn't give up Shuo Ling. When she chose to give up, she still would be threatened by others.

Qiao Shu didn't know when she met Lan Ruojing just now, she was monitored by Mo Li who was hidden in the shadow.

After Lan Ruojing left, Mo Li returned to the mansion of Marquis.

Shuo Ling heard what Mo Ling said and was curious about when Qiao Shu had relations with Lan Ruojing and whether she poisoned Yang Zijin in Jiandu. After he handled the things that he needed to do, he would investigate it.

Thinking of this, Shuo Ling said to Mo Li, "Add more guards to the secret room and ensure the safety of Xu Qing."

"Yes." Mo Li paused.

After Mo Li left, Shuo Ling looked outside the window and thought that tonight would be an unquiet evening.

In the Blossoming Peach

Yang Zijin stood up and smiled, "I want to extend my thanks to all of you."

"Your Highness, don't be so polite. We have considered here as our home. Right?" Zixia smiled at Yang Zijin and asked all the people.

Wen Lan and other people nodded with a smile.

Yang Zijin waved to Yun and motioned to her to come here.

Yun hurried to go there.

Yang Zijin held Yun's hand and said, "She is Yun. Because of some things, she came to Jing City with me. Now she will live in the Blossoming Peach. Ni Chang, how about you arranging a room for Yun and helping her get familiar with the Blossoming Peach?"

"Your Highness, I will arrange all these things well." Ni Chang smiled and said.

Then she walked to hold Yun's hand, "Yun, come with me."

Yun nodded with a smile and went with Ni Chang.

Entering the Blossoming Peach, Yun found people here all friendly and she felt relaxed here.

Yang Zijin talked with them for a while and asked Jiang Wei to return to the mansion of Duke Mu with her.

When she was about to leave, Yang Zijin bent down to pinch the nose of Yue and smiled, "Be good. I will have a look at you if I am free."

"OK." Yue said and nodded.

Yang Zijin smiled at her and turned back to go out of the Blossoming Peach with Jiang Wei.

Lan Ruojing couldn't help frowning when she returned home and thought whether Xu Qing would give the account book to His Majesty.

If it were like that, the status of his family would be passive at that time.

If His Majesty made use of it to punish his family, later...

Thinking of this, Lan Ruojing suddenly stood up and went to the study to find Prime Minister Lan.

"How is it going?" Seeing Lan Ruojing come back, Prime Minister Lan hurried to stand up and asked.

Lan Ruojing shook his head, "Shuo Ling has made great preparations for it."

"What can we do?" Prime Minister Lan heard this and stepped back and forth in the study.

He continued to say, "It's no matter that I will die. I'm afraid that your elder sister will be implicated, and Lanfyu's title of Crown Prince will be threatened."

"Dad, if so, why not have the last try?" Lan Ruojing said to Prime Minister Lan.

Prime Minister Lan looked at Lan Ruojing and asked, "What's your idea?"

"We can arrange someone to assassinate Xu Qing and destroy the account book." Lan Ruojing said with cruelty in his eyes.

"Does it... work? The mansion of Marquis was always mysterious and it was well-guarded." Prime Minister Lan looked at Lan Ruojing hesitantly.

Lan Ruojing added, "Dad, if doing so, there will be some chances. If not, we can just wait for Xu Qing to give the account book to His Majesty."

"OK, let's take a gamble." Prime Minister Lan thought for a while and nodded.

He added, "Ask ten loyal soldiers to try their best!"

"Yes, Dad. I will arrange it." Lan Ruojing saluted him and walked out of the study.
