"You go down first, don't worry about me. I want to stay quietly for a while. I will go back later." Xun Chao finally had a little more focal length in his eyes and he spoke indifferently.

"Yes, General!" Qi Nian heard him say this, and saw him stopping, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded and retreated.

Shortly after Qi Nian left, Xun Chao clenched his fists slightly, a trace of cold sweat spilled out of his forehead, and his face turned paler in an instant, as if he was suffering from great pain.

I don’t know how long it took to slowly let go of my hands. The palms of my hands were already wet, and I finally got through it...

The sequelae caused by this poisoning is not just that his legs cannot walk like that. Whenever he attacks, he also suffers great pain, which makes him feel in pain.

And compared with physical pain, mental torture is the most painful.

As a general that everyone admires, the patron saint of Pingsha Kingdom has now become a waste who can't even stand up. This is undoubtedly the most painful thing for Xun Chao.

Under his calm appearance on weekdays, what is hidden is the torment and pain that cannot be expressed to others, because his inner pride does not allow him to be so weak, and he does not want to see other people's sympathetic gazes.

In the dark, Qi Nian watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but clench his fists. His mood could not calm down for a long time, and his eyes turned slightly red.

The general was so heartbreaking, but he couldn't do anything, and he didn't know how to comfort the general.

He didn't even dare to step forward to comfort the general, because he knew that the general was pride and did not want others to see his embarrassed side, so he could only pretend to be unaware of it.

It took a long time before Qi Nian turned around and left the place.

Xunyan came back not long after, and Shen Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Is the matter I asked you to investigate and have a result?"

"Miss, the scholar named Pu Fang is indeed missing. He is nowhere to go. No one knows where he has gone." Xunyan nodded, did not dare to hide it, and told him what he had just found out.

After Xunyan finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to ask more questions, and tried to reduce her presence to avoid being angry.

Shen Zhao didn't know that because of some of her inadvertent actions, Xunyan, who was originally loyal to her, now only wants to protect herself and no longer bothered to worry and consider her.

Nothing in this world is ever unchanging, and the feelings between people are even more mutual. If you are not good to others, don’t expect others to be sincere to you all the time.

"What! Is it really missing?" Shen Zhao couldn't calm down when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little panic.

what to do?

After a while, Shen Zhao forced herself to calm down. Yes, she couldn't panic, and there was no need to worry so much. At most, she would just be a chess piece.

This matter should not be found in her. Mrs. Luo's grandson is still in her hands. She should not dare to confess her. Even if she really confesses her, as long as she does not admit that it is related to her.

When Shen Zhao thought of this, he finally felt relieved, but he still felt a little sorry for this matter. It was really difficult to deal with the heroine.

Alas ~ By the way!

Shen Zhao didn't know what he thought of, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he ordered Xunyan: "I understand, you go down first!"

After Chen Zhao finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "By the way, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, nor can you let anyone know about it. I asked you to inquire about this, do you know?"

"Yes, Miss, Xunyan remembers it and will not let others know about this." Xunyan responded quickly and retreated.

When Xunyan walked outside the yard, her brows frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

What did Miss Luo do?

Why did she suddenly ask her to inquire about the scholar Pu? Could it be that Miss Pu fell in love with the scholar Pu and kept in touch with the other party?

If you think about it carefully, something is wrong with the lady during this period. She occasionally smiles with a dreamy look on her face, and looks like a girlish girl is in love with spring.

Xunyan was shocked when she thought of this. Could it be that the young lady really had a lover, and the partner was the scholar Pu?

If things are really like that, it will be troublesome, because as a lady, the master and wife cannot agree to give the lady to a poor scholar.

Chen Zhao didn't know that her personal maid was mistakenly thinking that the person she liked was Pu Fang, and he was worried about it, otherwise he would probably be angry to death.

Chen Zhao had a high vision, so he naturally could not look down on a poor scholar like Pu Fang, let alone the person she was thinking about, but her "future brother-in-law" Xun Chao.

At the same time, after listening to the report from his confidant nanny, Yin almost burst into anger and wanted to let someone get Pu Fang cramps and skin them immediately.

"Madam, you should drink a little tea to calm your breath first. Hasn't this happened yet? A villain like Pu Fang just dealt with it directly. There is no need for a madam to be so angry."

"How could I not be angry? This bastard actually wanted to elope with Jiuer. I really wish I could make someone suck his tendons and tug his skin to vent my hatred!"

Yin took the tea handed over by Madam Lu, took two bites of it, and then put the teacup on the table before saying angrily.

Not to mention elopement, it is very despised, not to mention that the eldest daughter is engaged, and her fiancé is Xun Chao.

Once Jiuer is really deceived by him and elopes with him, then Jiuer will be ruined in this life. Not only will Jiuer be despised by everyone, but their Shen family will also make enemies with the general's mansion because of this.

Just thinking about it, Yin was so angry that his heart and lungs were ache. This person behind the scenes was so hateful that he actually used such despicable means to deal with their Shen family.

Yin probably never thought that the mastermind behind the planning of this matter would be her versatile little daughter, "Chen Lingzhao", or she would be really angry to death.

"Madam, the most important thing for us at the moment is to find out the mastermind behind the scenes first and find a way to destroy the letter so that the other party will not threaten us with this letter or corrupt the reputation of the second lady."

Madam Lu hurriedly stepped forward and stroked her chest, calmed down, and then persuaded her.

"And what I am most worried about is that the other party will make another plan if he fails to make another plan, and then come up with some vicious plan to frame the second lady or the second lady."

The reason why they haven't found the person behind the scenes is that before they can ask the whole truth, Mrs. Luo hit her head and died, causing the clue to be cut off.

As for Pu Fang, he did it purely according to the content and instructions in the letter, and he was not sure who wrote the letter. The reason why he was willing to do this was because the other party gave him a lot of money.
