Chapter 162.2 - Missing
He could only depend on his father to suppress this news.
But now, the problem is how to make sure that his father didn’t go to find his third brother.
He sucked in a deep breath before following Li Miao into his study room.
When the room’s door was closed, he faced Li Miao.
Li Miao’s face was dark as ink, “What exactly happened? Didn’t you send those people away three years ago?”
“We did send them away back then but they came back a few days ago.”
“Why did they come back?”
“This … your son had also just received news. My subordinates said that they heard the Jade Rouge store owner was an aggrieved ghost looking for their lives so they ran back.”
“Aggrieved ghost demanding lives?” Li Miao’s eyes narrowed.
Li Jingsheng’s head was lowered before his mind lit up with a bright idea.
He felt like this was an opportunity.
He suppressed the growing excitement in his chest as he used an unsteady voice that also held a few hints of questioning, “I originally wanted to investigate it clearly before telling you but I didn’t think that this would happen. Previously, those few people had heard that third brother had already … been killed, so that’s why they ran back.”
“What are you saying?!” Li Miao was shocked, “You’re saying that Ziqing is ….”
“No, father, don’t get too anxious. It might not be exactly like that. I’ve already sent people to Liyang town but … but, they’d said that third brother had gone missing earlier. I was scared that it was too murky so I didn’t want father to worry, so … so I just kept telling them to investigate. But this happened …”
“Disgraceful!” Li Miao was furious, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?! If something happened to Ziqing, what will I tell your grandmother?!”
“It’s my fault!”
He dropped to the floor on his knees as Li Jingsheng’s head was lowered, “I was also just worried about father, worried about grandmother. Father also knows, third brother likes to play. If I hadn’t investigated clearly, I was just scared that … Father, please punish me. I didn’t protect third brother well!” Li JIngsheng’s last words turned into a sob.
Li Miao heard how upset he sounded and a bit of his anger abated, but he was still worried.
“Go search! Quickly, go search for him! I’ll talk to you later about your punishment but right now, we have to make sure nothing’s happened to Ziqing!”
“Yes, I’ll go now!”
Li Jingsheng’s face was filled with worry, “But these few people …”
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll deal with it!” He angrily waved his hands as Li Miao’s murky eyes flashed viciously.
This affair wasn’t this simple.
For these people to have appeared like this within the Li residence, it was definitely done on purpose!
But no matter who it was, he had provoked him, Li Miao, and that person would have to watch out for his head.
“Yes, your son will remember.” He snuck a look at Li Miao before letting out a relieved breath.
He quickly ran out of the room, as if he didn’t know that Li Ziqing was already dead and he was just rushing to investigate clearly.
At the same time, in a remote side wing, Lou Lianxin was being supported by Dongxue and Dongshuang slowly into her room.
Her small face was deathly pale as her mouth was stuttering, mumbling, “Too scary, too scary, Dongshuang, pack … pack everything … I’m going back … I don’t want to stay here …”
The eldest madam who had reached the entrance, heard this and her brows furrowed.
She instantly turned around, “Stand there for me!”
Lou Lianxin’s mind had been deeply triggered by tonight’s events.
How could she listen to her?
She just stubbornly wanted to head back.
She couldn’t stay in this place for another minute longer.
She’d rather look at Lou Qingwu’s annoying face every day than stay at this scary place.
Seeing Lou Lianxin ignore her, made the eldest madam furious.
As her senior aide followed her, she stood in front of Lou Lianxin, her face cold, “I told you to stop, did you not hear me?”
Lou Lianxin then finally slowly looked up, looking at the eldest madam.
Then she slowly called out, “Mo-mother.”
“At least you know who this madam is.” The eldest madam sneered, looking at her with contempt.
“What did you just say? You want to leave? Don’t even mention that you only married in today. You can’t go back within three days, don’t you know? What did Mrs Ruan even teach you?”
