NOVEL NEXT Chapter 290: Mysterious New People
While Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan are dealing with the aphrodisiac medicine, a certain part of the Shao Family's main residence is filled with a thick scent of blood, with countless bodies of servants and guards being cleaned up.
"Are they all the moles which had been in the residence?"
"Yes, Uncle Wencheng. From the list I had been investigating, all of them had been dealt with."
Shao Chonglin is surrounded by a cold atmosphere with a dangerous expression on his face when facing his Second Uncle while remaining calm and indifferent at the countless people they have killed.
Although the Shao's had been kind and good masters, it doesn't mean that they would still remain forgiving and merciful after being taken advantage of and betrayed.
"Today had been extremely dangerous, I don't even want to consider what would have happened if no one had known about how serious the situation is. Be more alert and guarded from now on, although the Shao just want to be peaceful, others wouldn't necessarily respect it."
Shao Wencheng has let out a sigh while feeling a chill run down his spine after learning about how almost half of the people serving the Shao Family have been bought by the people with evil intentions, or by those who simply want to deal with the Shao.
Once in a while, Shao Wencheng can feel the benefit of being cut off from the Shao genealogy, after witnessing the chaos in the Shao Family. At least, the danger to his and his daughter's life is lesser than his older brother Yin's.
Although, Shao Wencheng still felt disappointed and saddened at the actions their youngest brother has taken.
Geming, you are really foolish…
There is a reason why their father has chosen their older brother as the successor of the Shao Family among the three of them, only Shao Yin has the ability, skill, and fame.
Younger brother, why aren't you content with what you have got?
Although they had been cut off from their family, but their father didn't really abandon them, it was just a long continuation in their family's serious tradition.
So, when they left to form their own family, the two of them had received enormous wealth and lands to live a satisfying life.
"I understand Uncle Wencheng, we will make sure to thoroughly protect our safety after everything that has happened, and no similar situation would repeat again in the future."
Different from Xixi's usual cheery and lively attitude, she is acting seriously for the first time before making a motion at the other figure standing by her side, who seems to carry another person.
"Hey there, the second brother of my Icy friend and Master, you will be needing this later on."
"For what?"
Shao Chonglin ignored the unusual words the other person spoke about his third brother and examines the weak person placed on the ground, who appears to be in a confused state.
"Cousin, she's going to be a substitute."
"Substitute?"
"Yup, she'll substitute as the female maidservant that my beautiful cousin has taken to solve his aphrodisiac problem. Don't worry, we have taken this woman from prison and have made sure that she's not innocent."
Without needing more deeper information, Shao Chonglin is able to guess a certain part of the plan by those words alone, particularly after he sees the cold expression on Xixi's face, who calmly takes out a thin silver needle and a small medicinal jar in her hands.
"My beautiful cousin sure has countless useful medicines. Later on, no one would even doubt how this woman died."
Tsk…
I will definitely try my best to sneak into the prison to deal with that certain cousin of theirs later on. How dare that garbage covet my beautiful cousin's beauty? Especially when there is already a person destined to take it.
"Cousin Chonglin, please prepare a thorough identity for the female servant so no one would become suspicious even after investigating it."
Although, everyone would remember how my beautiful cousin touched a woman for the first time. At least, it's better than him genuinely touching a real one...
Well, I also feel more comfortable knowing that the female servant is my charming young brother Yuan after the news is spread around.
It's too bad though that nothing really happened between them earlier. Today is also the perfect circumstance for the two beauties to get together.
"Heheh, my Icy friend's second brother, I'm sure you had tried to guess who the female servant really is, right? Even though I only know my icy friend for a short time, I completely understand that there is no way for him to embrace a stranger despite being drugged."
Especially when I saw him personally take the aphrodisiac, which meant there is no great danger upon it.
Shao Chonglin furrows his eyebrows after countless thoughts flash in his mind, and they finally stop at the memories of the state in which they found his third brother.
"Is this part of my Third Brother's plan?"
"Oh don't be like that, this wasn't any part of the plan. The situation was really unexpected and the plan was just created at that moment."
Pengfei answers without hesitation on seeing the complicated and dark expressions on his Icy friend's second brother's face. He quickly chooses to be a good helpful friend, so that no atmosphere of discomfort will appear between the two brothers later on.
"Who in their right mind would allow themselves to take an aphrodisiac medicine?"
My icy friend is but you will know that in the future, it's not the right time.
"Yes cousin, we only received a note asking for a substitute for the maidservant a few hours ago, which happened only when my beautiful cousin took away my charming brother yuan dressed in female servant clothes into his courtyard."
Can you imagine how excited I felt after learning everything from Pengfei? I had only planned to find Pengfei to learn more about the supposedly exciting and thrilling situation of Chang Capital that my scheming cousin has definitely planned out.
How come I had been left behind?
Fortunately, I also learned about my two beauties in such hot and ambiguous situations with each other!
After a few seconds of silence, Shao Chonglin has finally taken a deep breath while raising his hands to pinch the bridge of his nose before letting out a deep sigh.
"I understand."
I have to talk to my third brother after everything is over. Does he know how worried I have been? How anxious our mothers, father, brothers, and sisters are? Even the second uncle and cousin Biyu were affected by it.
But our guess about the unfamiliar female servant being Ren Yuan in disguise has really come true.
Well, I need to inform my parents and siblings about it later.
