Second Married Dandy: She went crazy to kill the eldest daughter

Chapter 170
Chengchang was still confused and gritted his teeth and said, "A slave, how can Su Chengying be like this? Emperor Liang is despicable enough, and he is willing to go to such trouble for the sake of a slave who canonize a princess from a foreign country!"

Qin Zhangyuan reminded, "This is Xiliang Palace, watch your words!"

Lu Zhijie looked at Chengchang and said solemnly, "We were wrong from the beginning. We always regarded that slave as an ordinary slave, but we forgot that the right time, place and people were what we did."

Su Chengying married in a foreign country, and apart from the younger sister who came with him as a dowry, the only other person left was this maid who served beside her. After all, this maid was a slave, but it was also one of the few comforts Su Chengying had in Xiliang.

Just imagine, what would happen if he was in Su Chengying's situation and his slave was killed?
Come to think of it, he hates it as much as Su Chengying.

Speaking of Emperor Liang, it was precisely because he knew the importance of this slave to Su Chengying that he made such a big fanfare. He wanted to show Su Chengying that he valued Su Chengying, and also wanted to show the Tang Dynasty envoys that he valued Su Chengying. How Liang treated the people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty kindly.

Lu Zhijie raised his eyes to look at Chengchang, who was a full head taller than him. After much hesitation, he reluctantly persuaded him, "Fortunately, no one has seen your face when we arrived at the Royal Courtyard. Now that the people from Xiliang are holding your hand, In this portrait, your face will never be exposed again."

Qin Zhangyuan said anxiously, "Now that people are waiting outside, how can we hide Chengchang?"

Lu Zhijie did not look away from Chengchang, but looked at him more deeply, "If you want to cover a face, you don't necessarily have to hide the person. I remember coming to Xiliang this time, The eldest prince gave him a lot of hidden weapons and poisons, one of which can melt human skin and destroy human flesh."

Cheng Chang was shocked, "Are you trying to destroy my face?"

Lu Zhijie shook his head helplessly, "If there is another way out, I certainly don't want to do this. Cheng Chang, you should know in your heart that if we offend Xiliang, the eldest prince will be the one to bear the wrath in the end."

The three people standing here now are all loyal to the eldest prince and do not want anything to happen to him.

Although Cheng Chang was not a person who cared about his appearance, whenever he thought that his appearance was completely ruined because of Su Chengying, he became filled with anger and unwillingness.

Outside the door, there were bursts of noisy sounds.

Qin Zhangyuan walked to the door and listened carefully before saying, "Everyone else in the Shengtang Mission has already compared it, and now we are the only ones left. Manager Jingquan seems to be a little impatient with the wait."

Cheng Chang gritted his teeth and made a stern decision, "Since Xiliang wants to investigate, let them investigate!"

With that said, he turned around and went to the inner room.

Not long after, bursts of suppressed groans of pain came from inside.

In the darkness, Cheng Chang endured the pain that was like a burning fire. He curled up on the ground and twitched continuously. He used all his strength to gnash his teeth and murmured over and over again, "Su Chengying, Su Chengying..."

After Su Chengying and Dongfang Yuebai returned to the Duke's Mansion, they went directly to the main courtyard.

When the old lady saw the two people entering the door one after another, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and then she asked, "But has anyone been found?"

Su Chengying truthfully told the old lady what happened, and finally said, "Now that the body has been brought back, I have troubled Mother Zhang and sent her to Jiaziyuan first. I will send someone out to find a suitable place tomorrow. Musk was buried early in the morning."

The old lady did not expect that this person would die immediately. She held Su Chengying's hand and persuaded her, "Since he is gone, you must not be too upset. When I heard that the girl was alive, I felt very sorry for you. If she There is a spirit in heaven, and knowing that you are so sad and sad for her will make you feel uneasy."

As the old lady spoke, she called Mother Song in again and asked, "The domestic slaves in our house are all buried in the cemetery outside our own village. You are going to make arrangements tomorrow and ask Musk to do it." Let the girl be buried there." Whether it was in Northern Liang or the prosperous Tang Dynasty, domestic slaves from wealthy families would obey. If they live, they are members of the master's family, and if they die, they will be the master's ghost. Therefore, after the death of a domestic slave, the master's family They are usually buried in a specific location.

Although the feng shui there is not comparable to the ancestral tombs of the host family, there are still dedicated people who sweep and take care of the tombs.

Su Chengying thanked the old lady for thinking so thoughtfully. She stood up and knelt down to thank her, but the old lady supported her. "You married into the Duke's Palace, and you are a member of our Duke's Palace. It's getting late, so you have to." Hurry back with Yue Bai and get some rest early."

Su Chengying nodded and left the main courtyard with Dongfang Yuebai.

I didn't want to hear Zhixu report just after I returned to Jiaziyuan, "Master, Your Royal Highness, there was news from the palace just now, saying that the manager of Jingquan beside the emperor personally led the palace guards to conduct an investigation inside the palace. Once again, even the Royal Courtyard was not spared, but..."

He looked at Su Chengying, paused and said, "I didn't find anything unusual."

Su Chengying knew that Qin Zhangyuan was now surrounded by capable people, including Lu Zhijie and Cheng Chang, who were extremely shrewd and cunning people. It was simply impossible to catch Cheng Chang easily like this.

Dongfang Yuebai didn't show any surprise, and just asked softly, "Is there anything else?"

"Other things..." Zhixu thought for a while and said suddenly, "I heard that when Manager Jingquan led his people to inspect the Royal Courtyard, they saw an extremely terrifying face. It was said that it was caused by being burned in a fire when he was a child. The eyes and nose were... The mouth was twisted and blurred into one piece, and the manager of Jingquan seemed to be very frightened."

Su Chengying's heart skipped a beat. Manager Jingquan went to investigate and found a disfigured person in the Royal Courtyard?
It was too coincidental.

Unless, someone deliberately wanted to cover the original face in order to avoid interrogation.

Dongfang Yuebai waved his hand to Zhixu, "I understand, let's get down."

Su Chengying looked at the tall figure beside her. At this moment, she finally knew why Dongfang Yuebai wanted to hand Chengchang's portrait to Zhixu, "You have been forcing Chengchang to disfigure himself from the beginning."

Dongfang Yuebai followed Su Chengying into the courtyard and said, "Since we can't kill him for the time being, it's good to give him some pain."

Su Chengying stepped into the door and said, "This is not like your style."

In my impression, people like Dongfang Yuebai disdain this kind of sneaky business the most.

Dongfang Yuebai took off his cloak, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "Although I don't really like this kind of thing, if it can make my wife feel better temporarily, it's worth it."

Su Chengying looked at him stunned.

Inexplicably, I felt like I saw a different color on that handsome face.

It seems distressed, like pampering...
