” They have the bloodline of the Green Dragon. Logically speaking, they are related to the Green Dragon by marriage. Even if such a long time has passed and their relationship has faded, the Shen family has been exterminated. Logically speaking, the other party will step forward. Even if I don’t come, they will send their subordinates to help take revenge.” But this matter, from the time they plotted against Heavenly Earth until now, they had not even revealed their faces.’
“I will get someone to investigate this matter. However, the Shen family has already been exterminated, so it will be very difficult to find out.”
Shuang ‘er brought two more pastries over. The royal chef had just finished cooking them and they were still steaming. They were placed in front of him.
“Try it!” the Crown Prince said with a smile.
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
He took a bite of an osmanthus cake. It was made from a fey and tasted very good. It was soft, sticky, and very sweet. After finishing one, Zheng Fugui had already eaten two.
“He Wenxuan, you’ve been tricked badly this time. Changqing Academy has already started to take revenge on him. During this period of time, there’s no time to worry you.”
“I understand!”
“I can rest assured that you’ll handle things.”
They chatted for a while.
Only then did he stand up and bid farewell. He left the Xuanhe Hall and walked toward the side hall to send Xiaolan on her way. When they arrived, the Flood Dragon Guards at the door clasped their fists respectfully.
“Open the door,” said Zhang Ronghua.
One of them hurriedly opened the door and stepped aside to enter. Zheng Fugui followed behind him and closed the door after entering.
Xiao Lan’s eyes lit up. Her fate was already decided. Before she died, she just wanted to know if he loved her.”What did he say?”
“You’re just a tool for him to use!”
Boom!
It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck her brain. She looked desperate. She thought about how she had sacrificed everything, even her life, but in exchange for this result. Tears flowed uncontrollably, falling silently from her cheeks onto her blood-stained clothes. She cried silently.
Zhang Ronghua looked on calmly. She had chosen her own path, so she had to pay the price for what she had done.
She cried for a while.
Xiao Lan raised her head and looked at him with hope. She begged,””Can I see him again?”
Zheng Fugui was about to speak when Zhang Ronghua waved his hand, signaling for him to bring Shen Xiu over. Seeing that his cousin had said so, Zhang Ronghua carried out the order unconditionally and ordered his men to bring Shen Xiu over.
He was thrown to the ground. He was beaten half to death at the Qingyun Inn. When he arrived at the Eastern Palace, he was even beaten by Da Xing. He looked very miserable. His body was covered in blood. He lay on the ground and did not even have the strength to get up.
Xiaolan looked into his eyes. Shen Xiu felt guilty and did not dare to look into his eyes. He hurriedly escaped. Her voice was very soft and gentle as she asked,””You really never loved me?”
Shen Xiu opened his mouth and wanted to lie, but he swallowed his words
when he met Zhang Ronghua’s cold gaze. He pondered for a while and knew that his fate was already decided. No one could change it. “You’re not worthy! Even if my Shen family is destroyed, the noble Azure Dragon bloodline still flows in my body! If you weren’t a maid in the Eastern Palace who happened to need you, all those vows and sweet words would be disgusting.”
Xiao Lan closed her eyes, and only her tears flowed. “Send me on my way!”
“Leave a whole corpse,” said Zhang Ronghua.”
Zheng Fugui sent her on the road and looked at Shen Xiu. How to deal with him?
“Ling Chi!”
Shen Xiu panicked and said,”No…”
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked unconscious by Zheng Fugui.
After leaving the side hall, the rest of the people were dealt with by the Flood Dragon Guards, and Zheng Fugui left with them.
On the way.
“Cousin, what was the secret technique you used to interrogate Xiao Lan? Can you teach me?”
“It doesn’t suit you.”
“Then what am I suitable for?”
“A cultivation technique like the Azure Thearch Heaven Raising Technique.” “!!!”Zheng Fugui’s face darkened.
When they reached the fork in the road, Zhang Ronghua changed his direction and walked to the left. “Cousin, you’re going the wrong way. That’s not the way to the Vermillion Bird Lane.”
“I’m going home first. I’ll go back later.”
“Be careful!”
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand without looking back, leaving him with his back view. Looking in the direction of home, Zheng Fugui’s face immediately turned bitter. He pulled his head together and walked back.
He returned to his home in Riches Lane.
Hearing the servant girl say that he was back, Zhang Qin came out of the bedroom in a leather coat. The two of them sat in the hall and asked, “What happened?”
Zhang Ronghua told him about Shen Xiu staying at Qingyun Inn.
Zhang Qin placed a cup of tea in front of him and shook his head.”This matter cannot be avoided. We can only increase the intensity of the investigation to reduce the occurrence of this matter.”
“I know. I’m just reminding you to ask the people below to check more strictly. They’d rather earn less money than to ensure the identity of the person who checked in.”
“Father knows!”
“How’s the renovation of the breakfast shop coming along?”
“It’s progressing very fast. We’ll be opening for business in two days. When it opens, the breakfast of the Qingyun Inn will be provided here.”
Supper was a big deal. If you got up in the middle of the night to cook, without money to clear the way, even birds would ignore you.
“Have you thought of a name yet?” asked Zhang Qin.”
Zhang Ronghua pondered for a moment, “Let’s call it Youjian Bun Shop!””
“A bun shop? Alright!”
After chatting for a while, Zhang Ronghua finished his tea and left. He didn’t stay here, as he still had to go to the Scholar’s Hall tomorrow.
Returning to the home of the Vermillion Bird Lane
The bedroom was lit up. Zhang Ronghua was puzzled. Who was in his room?
He walked over with doubt and stopped at the door. There was a familiar fragrance lingering around him. It was the smell of orchid.. Could it be her?
