The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1507 - 1591: I Want Her Dead
Xiao Qingyao hasn’t contacted the Liang family for the past few years, and isn’t very informed about their state. But even though he often stays sequestered in Prince Meng Mansion, he has still heard bits and pieces of outside affairs.
According to what Xiao Qingyao knows, since the Liang family’s brothers moved to the capital, it seems as if the ancient stagnation has been broken, showing the abilities of these brothers. Liang Zhichen avoided Xiao Qingyao’s astonishment and did not respond directly. People are not unchangeable, and time can alter many things.
Their brothers were never ordinary fish in a small pond; they simply lacked opportunities before. Once given enough chances, combined with their own abilities, soaring high was only a matter of course.
"I once considered you my confidant," Liang Zhichen picked a relatively safe topic.
After hearing this, Xiao Qingyao sighed slightly, "I feel the same."
"I just don’t know after today, are we enemies or do we remain old friends?" The first sentence could be said to be nostalgic, while this one was probing. No, it was more than just probing; he made it clear.
The main issue was not knowing Xiao Qingyao’s stance.
He didn’t condemn everyone just because Qingyao and Qinghe were brothers, but personally, perhaps out of some personal bias, he was quite opposed to Qinghe.
Even without the matter of the madam being captured, he and the never-met Xiao Qinghe were destined not to become friends.
Xiao Qingyao paused slightly, "I once tried to probe your third brother, Shujun, but he was cunning, and I did not glean anything. And now, can you give me an answer?"
Liang Zhichen raised an eyebrow, "Go ahead, speak your mind."
Xiao Qingyao carefully considered his words, "Lady Dong, is she Marshal Baowei? If she is, does she know the whereabouts of her old followers?"
After Xiao Qingyao asked, he couldn’t help but laugh at his own foolishness.
"Actually, asking this is pointless," because he had already arrived at the answer in his heart. Even if she hid her identity in Prince Meng’s mansion, he had guessed a bit. Especially since he had heard Dong Huiying and Yun Ge were once together, and Yun Ge, he knew. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Dong Huiying, Madam of the Liang Family, Lady Dong, was indeed the Marshal Dong Baowei who was once renowned throughout the capital!
Liang Zhichen was silent for a moment, "Are you sure you want to know?"
There was a hint of amusement in his eyes. Just as he mentioned before, he once took Xiao Qingyao as a confidant; the two of them got along well, and he prided himself on understanding Xiao Qingyao’s character.
Therefore, with Xiao Qingyao’s personality, if they were destined to be enemies in the future, he wouldn’t inquire about matters concerning his family’s madam.
Xiao Qingyao met Liang Zhichen’s gaze: "If it is so, I hope you can do me a favor!"
"Speak!"
"The Eighth Princess, that old number eight from the palace, I want her life!!"
Liang Zhichen raised an eyebrow in surprise. Xiao Qingyao, however, rasped out, "You should know, I once had a wife. Since childhood, my family kept me outside, using the excuse that I was frail and required a feng shui place for recuperation. Indeed, I was not in the best health when I was young, but it wasn’t to the point of being incurable. This medical skill too was learned through prolonged illness-induced practice."
Xiao Qingyao recalled many past events, "I am the son of the former Minister Xiao, the second amongst the Xiao family. Living away, I never got involved in the numerous affairs of the capital. Years ago, I met a woman by chance; that woman stayed by my side for months. Love, perhaps, is like that—some people can hardly feel much for each other after a lifetime, yet for some, a mere glance can lead to life and death devotion, willing to brave any ordeal."
