Chapter 191 The Old Duke Gets Angry

Manager Guo’s heart was pounding. Behead him!

I only heard Su Mei ask: "You said that a person's life experience will make anyone who knows it beheaded, so his life experience..."

Su Mei just stared at the shopkeeper.

Manager Guo thought for a moment and said, "The most likely possibility is that... the child is the descendant of a criminal."

After hearing this, Su Mei nodded involuntarily. Only in this situation would the crime of beheading be committed.

Both of them fell into deep thought, and after a moment they looked at each other.

They reached a consensus with tacit understanding and they had the biggest leverage over the Wu family.

Manager Guo could no longer suppress the smile. If they wanted to live, they had to listen to me. He was full of confidence in the future of Wenxiangju.

From now on, Youranju will never be able to compete with Wenxiangju.

Jingcheng Town Duke's Mansion

Old Duke Xue Zhong looked at Gao Yi who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Go ahead."

Gao Yi: "I am guilty of failing to protect the young lady."

Xue Zhong sighed and said, "Get up, this is destiny."

Gao Yi knew that Xue Zhong had misunderstood, so he took out a letter from his arms and held it above his head in front of him.

Xue Zhong picked up the letter and opened it. When he finished reading the contents of the letter, he was furious and slapped the table next to him, causing a crack to appear on the table instantly.

Gao Yi knew that the old Duke would be furious, and hesitated whether to present the letter to him, but finally decided to present the letter.

"Gao Yi, you will leave for Anyang early tomorrow morning. In addition to protecting him, you must also do your best to find out who did this."

"obey"

The next day, Gao Yi left the Duke's Mansion.

Two days later, the rumor spread in the Duke's Mansion that Gao Yi had made a mistake and was kicked out by the old Duke.

The old Duke also fell ill, and Xia Xuelian's return to her ancestral home had to be postponed indefinitely.

She still lived in the Lotus Cottage, and the Xia couple still lived in the side rooms. In recent days, Xia Cheng frequently went in and out of the Duke's Mansion.

The old woman at the side door never asked.

It was as if Xia Xuelian didn't exist in the entire Duke's Mansion, except that Mrs. Wang came to see her from time to time. But as long as she didn't trace her ancestral roots, she would not be considered the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

The Xia couple are very different now than they were before. They wear silk and satin, and although they are not delicacies from land and sea, their daily meals are a world apart from before.

And there are servants to order around.

Isn't this the day they have always dreamed of? Unexpectedly, it was achieved so easily.

"Mom, I always feel uneasy," Xia Xuelian said while holding Liu's hand.

Liu asked in confusion: "Why?"

Why should I feel uneasy on such a good day?

Xia Xuelian frowned and said, "The old Duke has been back for so many days, but he only saw me once on the day he came back. He has never seen me again since then. I don't know when he will return to his roots."

After hearing this, Liu felt a little uneasy. As the benefactor of the Duke Zhenguo's family, when she thought about it carefully, she didn't take him very seriously. Could it be because Xia Xuelian was a girl?

But we also sent people to look for it everywhere back then, right?

Did they suspect? No, no, they couldn't. Since they were able to bring their family to the capital, it meant they had investigated it thoroughly.

Then why haven't you let Lian'er trace her roots back to her roots yet?

After the couple returned to the room, they analyzed the situation carefully and realized that things had come to this point and they could not take a step back.

How can you let go of the wealth and glory that you have already obtained?

After Xue He was dismissed from his job, he heard that his father was ill and went directly to Zhufengyuan.

The old Duke stood in front of the desk, looking at the picture of the landscape in front of him.

Xue Zhong slowly turned around and said, "Sit down."
