Chapter 47: The True and False Heiresses (47)

“That’s not important,” Huai Ying said calmly.
“I know far more than that.”
The string in Bai Jingming’s mind tightened instantly as he noticed the shifting gaze of the other.
“What do you intend to do? Who else knows about this?”
“Only I do, for now,” Huai Ying answered honestly.
A fierce killing intent flickered in Bai Jingming’s eyes as he clenched his fist silently.
If he were to kill her now, would no one else know?
After hearing that Nie Chen had taken on an apprentice, Mo Wuyin showed no sign of joy; instead, he furrowed his brow and inquired about the matter of Haotian Xie.
Exiting the Jiangnan Antique Market, Li Changkong felt rather disheartened. He decided never to return to this place—the abundance of counterfeit goods was overwhelming. Even a simple chamber pot, buried in the soil for a few days and then dug up, would somehow transform into the Qianlong Emperor’s chamber pot. It was laughable that they even dared to claim such things.
Before leaving, Zhang Mingyun asked for the scholar’s phone number, and the scholar also took down Zhang Mingyun’s Shenzhen contact.
“I only read the part where Empress Lü turned Consort Qi into a ‘human pig,’” Ming Shen smiled faintly. Lingxi stepped forward at the right moment to serve tea. She took the white jade tea cup from Hetian, gazed at the deep, bright crimson tea inside, and gently blew on it—a silent sigh of lament.
After work, the scholar deliberately had Old Hai drive the car to the street with the “Fat Lady’s Red Rose Grand Hotel.” He wanted to see how things were there.
“I saw you two so happy; it would be strange if I didn’t laugh, so I laughed. Well! What are you laughing at?” Han E asked.
Seeing the fire-element Cold Shadow Guard’s attack drawing near, Nie Chen had no choice but to unleash the Extreme Collapse Strike. Without the power of the Shura Force, the strike’s strength was greatly diminished. Clashing with the Cold Shadow Guard’s great blade, Nie Chen was forced back in an instant.
Since the door was unlocked, Qin Tian’s overwhelming force crashed against the wardrobe behind the door like a volcanic eruption.
Wait... If the Crown Prince says this, doesn’t it mean he had long coveted Miss Shishi’s beauty?
At that moment, the vehicles behind also arrived. A large group of police officers armed with guns and Ah Hu’s group of burly men carrying machetes got out of their cars. The fully equipped police helmets were fitted with lights, making it easier to search for the Earth Sovereign—no need for each person to carry a flashlight.
Seeing An Ruo follow the Li family back, and noticing the lights in the Li residence had all gone out, An Yu still did not leave.
Seeing this, Liu Ying finally nodded in satisfaction, her gaze lifted to the assembled officials in the court, now filled with openness and confidence.
The Wang residence was crowded, and if word got out, it would be hard to avoid gossip. If it reached the court, even just the Four Guards knowing, Yu Fu would become the target of public scorn and could no longer live in peace.
No one expected that the protective soft armor, which even the tendrils of the man-eating flower could not pierce, would be penetrated by Ye Chen’s silver needle.
The former Queen Consort was already in poor health. Overcome with despair, she fell ill and never recovered. Within three years, she passed away in melancholy. At this point, the late king’s deep regrets were useless. Later, to ensure the continuation of his lineage, he took several concubines, but feeling guilty toward his first wife, he never officially appointed a principal queen.
With that, Lan Xin handed the flashlight to Ye Chen, asking him to shine it on Wu Jinhua’s left shoulder.
When Hei Xun came earlier, he couldn’t clearly see the other’s movements. If at that time the other had also joined in, the outcome would have been very different.
Seeing the three brothers wearing the same pair of pants, the Four-Eyed Daoist pointed at them. Before finishing his words, he shook his head and laughed helplessly.
Lin Yi was not surprised. Originally, the creation of the Ghost Market was to facilitate underground cultivators and some demons and spirits to survive. But with the changes of the times, some with ulterior motives naturally began to exploit loopholes in the rules.
