Old Chief suddenly felt a throb on his temples!
The moment Marquis Xuanping came face to face with someone, he immediately wanted to kill the other party!
How could he really be mistaken? That was obviously a deliberate excuse to have people killed.
Empress Dowager Zhuang was known to be recovering from illness in the temporary imperial residence. Who would believe that this woman outside who was married to him on the surface was the Empress Dowager?
The Emperor no longer harbored any kind feelings towards Empress Dowager Zhuang, but the glory and loss of the imperial family’s reputation affected the whole imperial family. Even just to preserve the reputation and integrity of the imperial family, the Emperor would never admit that the woman who put a green hat to the former Emperor was Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Moreover, the Emperor originally wanted to get rid of Empress Dowager Zhuang, it was just that the Emperor had more scruples than Marquis Xuanping. Besides, Empress Dowager Zhuang also held something that the Emperor always wanted to get. If Marquis Xuanping really killed Empress Dowager Zhuang here, the Emperor would be furious and feel pity that he didn't get the thing he had been meaning to get, but he wouldn't really execute Marquis Xuanping.
Well, it really wasn't his illusion last time. Marquis Xuanping was indeed a cunning man!
The world always said that Marquis Xuanping always won his battles through valor and fearlessness. In fact, they were all wrong. Being courageous was important, but if Marquis Xuanping didn’t have any brains, he would have long been fooled by the enemy to his death.
Being on the side of the exposed and caught, Old Chief had to endure the chaos brought about by his guilty conscience, but at the same time, he really couldn’t let Zhuang Jinse be killed. He hurriedly said, "Can't she have the same looks? What posing as are you talking about? "
Marquis Xuanping sneered, "Oh, the illegitimate son of this Marquis also resembles my Di son so much, but they are brothers at least. What about this person? What is the relationship between her and the one in the temporary imperial residence? Sisters? Hm?"
Old Chief was speechless for a moment.
Couldn’t you just be a quiet soldier, please? As a military general, your brain and tongue were so sharp that even the civil servants couldn’t find a way out.
Old Chief thought that he could not afford to lose to a general. He looked at Marquis Xuanping and said seriously, "You can't kill her! She's Liulang's Grandaunt!" [T/N: Particularly refers to paternal grandaunt]
After a pause, he realized that if she was Liulang’s (paternal)Grandaunt, then that made her the sister of Liulang’s grandfather(Marquis Xuanping’s father). Marquis Xuanping naturally didn't have such an aunt. Then, Old Chief had a stroke of genius. He said, "She is his eldest brother's father's aunt!"
This eldest brother was referring to the eldest son born to Chen Yunniang and her ex-husband. If she was really his eldest brother's Grandaunt, as a half-brother, it was also right for Xiao Liulang to call her Grandaunt.
What was more, his eldest brother treated Liulang extremely well, so it wasn’t too much for Xiao Liulang to shelter and support his Grandaunt in her old age.
Marquis Xuanping snorted and said, "Do you think this Marquis will believe your nonsense?"
Old Chief crossed his fingers, "It's absolutely true! If I am lying, may the Heavens send down a thunder——”
Boom——
The sky exploded with thunder!
Old Chief:“…”
Must he be humiliated like this?
It was going to rain soon. The sky was overcast and a sea of chaotic dark clouds rolled under the sky.
The atmosphere suddenly felt oppressive.
Chang Jing was in no hurry to take action, not because he was shocked by Old Chief's words, but because his marbles were missing. At the moment, his head was lowered as he was rummaging around for his marbles.
Marquis Xuanping looked at the elderly woman, and the elderly woman looked back at him. Their four eyes met each other. Lightning and thunder came from the sky, and their faces flickered in the darkness and lightning.
A dragon in the abyss was still a dragon.
Although she had lost her memory and was dressed in coarse and plain clothing, facing the killing god Marquis Xuanping, the elderly woman’s aura hadn’t diminished in the slightest. Even during this confrontation of the eyes, she exuded a faint aura belonging to the previous Zhuang Jinse.
Old Chief felt a deep headache. He said to Marquis Xuanping, "Listen to me, what happened back then may have been a misunderstanding…"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
"What happened back then?"
Marquis Xuanping and the elderly woman almost spoke in unison.
"Ah, this..." Old Chief looked at the elderly woman, then at Marquis Xuanping. Blocking the side of his mouth with his hand, he said in whispers to Marquis Xuanping, "She doesn't remember anything. Don't do this!"
Marquis Xuanping coldly responded,"She doesn't remember, but I do. The sin of killing my son is absolutely unforgivable!"
Old Chief scratched his head, "How can you call it killing?" At most, it was poisoning, right? It was when Ah Heng was four or five years old. He was poisoned within the imperial palace and it was said that the Empress Dowager was the culprit behind it.
Marquis Xuanping said in a cold tone, "It can’t be called killing just because she failed to kill people? My son didn't die because my son has good luck, it’s not an excuse to get her off the hook!"
"I... harmed your son?" The elderly woman couldn’t remember, but she didn't rush to exonerate herself, because she herself often thought that she really had a black belly. Perhaps she was truly an evil character in the past.
Marquis Xuanping didn’t care why Zhuang Jinse was here. He didn’t intend to ask why or what happened. He just wanted the result, that was, he wanted Zhuang Jinse dead!
“Chang Jing! Are you deaf or stupid? Can’t you understand human language anymore? Still not moving!"
"Found it!" Chang Jing dug out the marbles that fell into the crevice of his pocket, put them in another intact pocket, then with a cold expression, he switched into assassin mode in a second.
"Oh! Liulang, you’re back!" Old Chief looked behind Marquis Xuanping and took advantage of the slight pause in Marquis Xuanping’s attention to grab the elderly woman by the hand and dash back into the house, slamming the door and bolting it!
"Let’s go out through the back door!"
Old Chief told the elderly woman.
"Is something wrong?" Yao shi came out of her room when she heard the noise.
"It's fine, you hurry back to your room!" Old Chief waved his hand at Yao shi. Marquis Xuanping's goal was Zhuang Jinse. He wouldn’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he wasn’t worried about Yao shi's safety.
