The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

However, Zhou Bang sent a lot of people out, whether it was near the capital or several nearby towns, even Yangzhou City was not spared.

?

After all, Qin Shou’s ancestral home is in Yangzhou City.

?

Now that Qin Shou is not accepted by the capital, he has nowhere else to go except returning to Yangzhou.

?

However, after searching all these places, Zhou Bang could not find any trace of Qin Shou.

?

When he told Zhou Zheng the result, Zhou Zheng was furious, "It seems we are still a step late!"

?

Zhou Bang asked hurriedly, "My Lord, should we continue looking?"

?

"Search, expand the search range. If there are not enough people, I can arrange for people from the military camp to help." Zhou Zheng gave the orders in a deep voice.

?

He must find Qin Shou no matter what. No matter who took him away, Zhou Zheng must find that person.

?

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

?

During the day, Xie Liuzheng saw that all the guards in the Marquis' Mansion had gone out. She stopped a servant and asked, only to find out that the Marquis was looking for Qin Shou!

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised to hear the news.

?

After all, if Zhou Zheng wanted to find Qin Shou from the beginning, he would not have let her get there first. It seemed that Zhou Pan'er's heavy bleeding awakened Zhou Zheng's love for his daughter.

?

Xie Liuzheng was not surprised. After all, it was understandable that Zhou Zheng loved his daughter.

?

Xie Liuzheng naturally wouldn't care too much about this. After all, Zhou Zheng was a man of affection and righteousness, and it would be good for Xie Xiangyu in the future.

?

But Xie Liuzheng was in a dilemma. She didn't know whether she should tell the Marquis that the person he was looking for was actually in her hands!

?

But if Zhou Zheng knew that he was targeting Qin Shou, the other party might misunderstand him.

?

Xie Liuzheng was also worried that Xie Xiangyu would be bent on protecting herself and might come into conflict with Zhou Zheng. However, Xie Liuzheng was also afraid that if he concealed the truth, what if Pingxi Hou found out about him? Wouldn't that increase the other party's suspicion?

?

Because of this, Xie Liuzheng began to feel conflicted.

?

By the evening, she hadn't figured out a solution yet, so she couldn't sleep and didn't know who to discuss it with. Before she knew it, Xie Liuzheng walked to the small courtyard where she got lost the first time.

?

Xie Liuzheng looked up and saw Zhou Zimo. She was shocked and asked, "Why did I come here unconsciously?"

?

"Since you're here, come in and have a cup of tea!"

?

Before Xie Liuzheng could refuse, Zhou Zimo extended the invitation.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't refuse. She stood up and walked inside. The yard was not big, but it was decorated very attentively, with a small courtyard and a stone table.

?

Then Zhou Zimo made a pot of tea.

?

"Please drink!"

?

Xie Liuzheng unceremoniously picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then she said regretfully, "It's just that I don't know how to taste tea, but I have to admit that this is the best tea I have ever tasted."

?

"You are really good at talking."

?

"But I can tell you that you are very connoisseur of goods. This cup of tea is worth a fortune."

?

After hearing this, Xie Liuzheng smiled.

?

"Is this tea expensive? I'm sorry to have cost you a fortune."

?

Zhou Zimo shook his head and just quietly accompanied her to drink tea, as if he simply wanted to sit with Xie Liuzheng, drink tea and chat.

?

He didn't mention it, and Xie Liuzheng didn't say anything either. The two of them just sipped their tea quietly.

?

But when they had finished the whole pot of tea, Zhou Zimo wanted to make more tea, but was stopped by Xie Liuzheng.

?

"No more, thank you for inviting me to tea, Master!"

?

But just as she was about to leave, Zhou Zimo said to her slowly, "Marquis Pingxi not only has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, but also a secret guard that belongs only to him!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng paused.

?

She didn't expect that Pingxi Hou also had secret guards.

?

Originally, she wanted to hide the matter of Qin Shou, but now it seems that she has to confront Marquis Pingxi.

?

If it weren't for Zhou Zimo's reminder, I would probably not have confessed to Pingxi Hou. If Pingxi Hou found out about this himself, he might misunderstand that I was the one who controlled all this!

?

What if the Marquis took his anger out on his mother again, or even suspected that she was involved? Xie Liuzheng didn't dare to think about the consequences.

?

After all, this time, in order to protect the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Pan'er had an abortion on her own, which caused heavy bleeding and she almost lost her life.

?

As her father, the Marquis naturally felt very distressed.

?

In the final analysis, it was Qin Shou who caused Zhou Pan'er to suffer so much. Xie Liuzheng arranged for Qin Wan to appear because she was targeting Qin Shou, but this was not the culprit that caused all the misfortunes that Zhou Pan'er suffered.

?

Xie Liuzheng felt that he had overcomplicated things. In the end, Pingxi Hou would find out about it anyway. But if he was found out and he confessed to it on his own initiative, that would be a different matter.

?

Thinking that he would have to confess sooner or later, Xie Liuzheng turned around and walked quickly towards the front yard.

?

She came to the study in the front yard, and as soon as she appeared, she was stopped by the guards at the door.

?

"Who are you? No one is allowed to enter the Marquis' study."

?

Xie Liuzheng was not surprised by this. She knew that the Marquis' study must contain some confidential documents, so naturally, no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

?

"My daughter wants to see the Marquis! Please help pass the message to him, big brother."

?

Before the guard could enter, Zhou Zheng's voice came from inside, "Is it Liu Zheng? Let her in."

?

So the guards let him go immediately.

?

When Xie Liuzheng entered, he saw Pingxi Hou sitting in front of the table with a tired look on his face, reading the latest battle report.

?

"Liu Zheng, it's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"

?

"Did your mother ask you to come? I've been busy with official duties these days, so I haven't been back. Please help me explain to your mother."

?

Pingxi Hou finished speaking and was about to urge Xie Liuzheng to leave.

?

He thought that after he said this, Xie Liuzheng would leave tactfully, but after a long time, Pingxi Hou looked up and found that Xie Liuzheng had not left.

?

"Do you have anything else?"

?

Xie Liuzheng nodded, and she got straight to the point, "My Lord, I didn't come here today for my mother. I have something I want to talk to you about."

?

"Oh? What did you want to talk to me about?"

?

Marquis Pingxi was a little surprised. He admired his stepdaughter very much, but he really didn't know why she suddenly came to him.

?

"My Lord, I know you are looking for Qin Shou! Qin Shou is in my hands now!"

?

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng looked at his stepdaughter seriously for the first time.

?

He had always known that Xie Liuzheng was very smart, but this was the first time that Zhou Zheng couldn't help but suspect that this stepdaughter was the culprit who had harmed Pan'er so miserably!

?

Xie Liuzheng naturally noticed that there was a slight change in the way Pingxi Hou looked at her.

?

But she did not defend herself, but said directly, "My Lord, if you want Qin Shou, I can give him to you! Of course, if you doubt me for this, I will not deny it. I am not a saint. Qin Shou deceived me, and Qin Guangjin deceived my mother. Of course, I will not let him go."

?

"You just need to check these things out."
