The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 625: Interrogation

The Emperor looked at the neatly arranged testimonies, his lips twitching slightly. He remembered that he had once bestowed a beauty upon the Duke Mansion, after which Zhong Xing and his wife had lived separately.

This woman was indeed ruthless, even wanting to sever Zhong Xing’s lineage.

Feeling a bit guilty, the Emperor coughed lightly, "This time the task was done very well, what reward does Zhong Xing want?" Although he said reward, it was actually a form of compensation. He believed Jiang Zhongxing would understand.

Jiang Zhongxing knelt and said, "I don’t want a reward, I would like to ask the Emperor for a few days off."

"According to what’s said in that letter, soon there will be assassins entering the capital to target my son. Maybe they have already entered the capital. I plan during this period to find a way to eliminate the two assassins, otherwise my son is too dangerous."

Upon hearing about assassins, the Emperor’s expression became serious, "Hmm, this matter needs to be handled quickly. I grant you ten days off."

He suddenly thought of highly skilled martial arts assassins entering the capital and decided not to go to Fan Building to see Shishi lately.

He added, "If the assassins are eliminated, remember to inform me." So that I can leave the palace.

Jiang Zhongxing completed his tasks and came out of the palace.

It was still early, back at the mansion, entering the main courtyard, he encountered Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao coming out, likely having recently paid respects.

Yun Jiao’s maid was still holding a small box in her hands.

Seeing the two, Jiang Zhongxing called out to Jiang Youzhi, "Wait a moment before leaving, your father has something to discuss with you."

Jiang Youzhi glanced at Yun Jiao and told her, "Wait for me, I’ll go with you." Then followed Jiang Zhongxing inside.

Just as Jiang Zhongxing was about to speak, Jiang Han and Ling Wei entered.

These two hardly resembled a newlywed couple.

Jiang Han looked lost, with dark circles under his eyes and eyes seemingly unfocused.

While Ling Wei’s face was cold, maintaining a large distance from Jiang Han.

Seeing the pair like this, Jiang Zhongxing thought they were another pair of unhappy couple, and waved his hand, "Alright, I have other matters here, you two can leave."

Ling Wei abruptly raised her head to look at Jiang Zhongxing.

She hadn’t planned to come pay respect today, the Duke Mansion was already treating her not as their daughter-in-law, so she could also treat them not as in-laws.

But today was the third day return, logically the Duke Mansion should prepare a return gift for her, but no one mentioned anything to her, she didn’t know if the return gift was ready.

She couldn’t return empty-handed, otherwise, she’d be ridiculed by her sisters.

Being chased out like this by Jiang Zhongxing, Ling Wei finally couldn’t hold back, stepped forward, and coldly saluted, "I’m not aware whether Duke and Lady are dissatisfied with the daughter-in-law; yesterday I was supposed to recognize kin and offer tea, but Lady couldn’t even be bothered to see me."

"Today is the third day return, but I have no idea where the return gift is, is this the etiquette of the Duke Mansion?"

Lady Wu raised an eyebrow at her, "Is this how you’re speaking to us? Are you questioning your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

She also sneered, "Is this the upbringing of your Changping Marquis Mansion?"

Facing this, Ling Wei stubbornly pressed her lips without speaking.

Beside her, Jiang Han was in a state of panic.

Yesterday, he had sent the maid to ask Aunt Su for some silver, planning to go to Fan Building for entertainment, but the maid returned empty-handed, only to find Aunt Su’s courtyard sealed, and Aunt Su and the servants inside tied up.

He didn’t know what had happened, tried to inquire but found no results, and then hurriedly sent the servant to Su Mansion to report, only to have the servant say they couldn’t get out.

Jiang Han knew something major must have happened, but unable to contact Su Mansion, he was helpless.

Tormented all night, he woke up listless, with anxiety in his heart.
