Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Innocent Families Should Be Spared

Beiyuan Palace, in a bamboo raft house by a small bridge and flowing stream.

The room was quiet, with only the faint sound of pages turning.

"Creak..."

The door opened quietly, and then someone gently, carefully approached the middle-aged man sitting at the desk.

She reached out her small hand and covered the man’s eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

"Hmm... Little Yun’er, my Little Yun’er, haha, why, causing trouble again?"

Qi Yun turned around and looked at his childlike wife, feeling a sense of peace only when with her.

"Who’s causing trouble, you’re the one causing trouble, not playing with me!"

"You, already a grandmother now, should settle down a bit."

Qi Yun smiled and gently pinched her cheek.

Speaking of which, she’s already in her forties, yet her skin is as smooth and tender as an eighteen-year-old girl, showing no signs of aging. Her heart hasn’t seemed to grow up either.

But it’s quite alright like that.

"Master!"

Just then, a Silver Armored Soldier entered, kneeling on one knee to salute.

"Hmm, what’s the matter?"

"News from Shengjing City!"

Saying this, the Silver Armored Soldier handed a secret letter to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun was no longer handling matters in Shengjing City, but occupying this position, even if he didn’t want to be involved, many things would still reach his ears.

What’s more, this time, his youngest son sent news, asking about the handling plan for Liuzhou City, and he had given advice. Thus, related matters would certainly be passed on to him.

After Qi Yun took the secret letter, the Silver Armored Soldier left.

"You’re going to read official documents, I’ll take Yaoyao to play!"

Although Cong Rongsi’s mind had changed after going astray, she wasn’t a dull child; she simply became simple-minded. Seeing Qi Yun busy, she didn’t disturb him and turned to leave.

Qi Yun opened the secret letter, and although he had a general idea of its content, upon really seeing it, he furiously threw the letter to the ground.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

Breathing heavily, Qi Yun was angered.

This was excessive!

This Empress Dowager Li, did she truly not have him, the Supreme Emperor, in her sights?

Her honor, power, and status, weren’t they all given by him? Now, just because he responded slightly to his youngest son’s affairs, she acts wantonly to retaliate?

Today she can retaliate against Consort Zhen, so what about tomorrow? Who else might she retaliate against?

Thinking about this, Qi Yun’s face turned even darker.

Undoubtedly, this Empress Dowager Li was an extremely dangerous woman, and one with a strong sense of revenge. Having her stay in the Imperial Palace, was it blessing or disaster?

Actually, there’s no need to say, it’s already very clear.

With one hand lightly tapping the desk, Qi Yun contemplated how to deal with Empress Dowager Li.

After a moment, he called, "Someone come!"

"Master, please give your orders!"

The Silver Armored Soldier appeared, kneeling on one knee, ready to obey his command.

Qi Yun pondered for a while and said, "Send someone to protect Rui’er, secretly protect, remember, it must be unnoticed!"

Unnoticed, then it’ll be easier to find out who’s trying to harm Rui’er!

"I will go immediately!"

The Silver Armored Soldier responded and promptly left.

Qi Yun squinted his eyes.

He could tolerate actions against Consort Zhen, but Mu’er’s family was his bottom line!

If Empress Dowager Li dared to act against them, she wouldn’t blame him, the Supreme Emperor, for intervening again.

"Big bear, are you done?"

Cong Rongsi entered with Yaoyao, standing at the door, her demeanor appearing very calm.

She was always like this; whenever Qi Yun was busy, she’d step away, and when he was almost done, she’d return, as if knowing him inside out.

Qi Yun smiled slightly; this was surely the connection of a married couple.

"Alright, alright, come, Yaoyao, come here, let Grandpa hug you."

Seeing the adorable Little Yaoyao, Qi Yun’s eyes brimmed with love as he took Yaoyao from Cong Rongsi’s arms and kissed her heavily.

"Grandpa, it’s prickly..."

The little one touched her face and spoke in a delicate voice.

Qi Yun laughed heartily and rubbed his face; having a beard wasn’t his fault, he had shaved very cleanly, but there would always be some stubble left; children’s tender skin easily felt it.

He was quite helpless!

"Alright, alright, I won’t prick you, baby, come, sit on Grandpa’s lap, let Grandpa hug you properly!"

Qi Yun was afraid of this little ancestor, seeing her soft little face scrunched up, he was endlessly distressed and wouldn’t dare prick her any further.

Carefully placing her on his lap, enjoying the feeling of her small frame moving around him, it was a kind of satisfaction and enjoyment.

...

Liuzhou City.

Qi Junyi went to see Consort Zhen, leaving Long Yue and Li Qingmu here.

Li Qingmu handled all affairs, and Long Yue, worried he’d get tired, wanted to help, but this man was somewhat stubborn and didn’t want her to intervene, leaving Long Yue helpless.

As the sky gradually darkened, Long Yue looked at the slightly tired expression of the man and asked, "How are things going?"

Li Qingmu took the tea that Long Yue handed him, drank a sip, and said, "Almost done, probably just a little longer, then it’ll be finished. Next up is that cemetery. But before that, I need to see Liu Hui."

"Then I’ll go with you; I can control his consciousness!"

Long Yue quickly said; she knew what this man was going to do.

Li Qingmu looked at the earnest gaze of the little woman, knowing refusing her would seem bad and would make her angry, so he smiled and said, "Alright."

The next morning, the couple went to the dungeon to see Liu Hui.

Liu Hui looked very dispirited; it was to be expected, as anyone would feel lethargic after being in a dim place for long.

Seeing Li Qingmu and his wife come, he gave a miserable smile: "Regent King, is this an interrogation of a guilty minister?"

He spoke with a frank air, with a demeanor that if worst came to worst, he’d just accept death.

Li Qingmu slightly furrowed his brow, "Mr. Liu is prepared to face death? Or do you think I won’t affect those close to you?"

With these words from Li Qingmu, the man’s face immediately changed.

There’s a saying, "Disaster should not reach the family," Li Qingmu’s words imply targeting his family!

However, he had never involved his family in these matters; in principle, they should not be implicated.

He suddenly raised his head and grasped the iron bars: "Regent King, my parents, wife, and children are unaware of my actions; you cannot rashly take lives!"

Taking lives rashly?

Li Qingmu laughed at this, "Mr. Liu, are you fit to use such words with me? For personal gain, you endangered others, how is that different from a beast? The victims also have parents, wives, and children; did you ever consider their feelings?"

Liu Hui clung tightly to the iron bars, his eyes red; he didn’t know how to respond to Li Qingmu.

Yet he deeply cared for his family and couldn’t allow them to be caught up in this.

His body slumped, kneeling slowly, "Re... Regent King... what do you wish to ask me?"

He had surrendered!

Li Qingmu said blandly, "What exactly is beneath the Jiang Family Ancestral Mansion?"
