Princess, something terrible has happened! The prince consort has attempted suicide again!

Zhang Xiaomeng turned around and said with a grin, "Miss, there's no need for a reward. I'm fine."

Liu Qingrou was speechless. Who wants to tip you?

She quickly regained her composure and asked, "What's your name?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiaomeng replied, "My name is Niu Er, and I am a servant here."

"Niu Er, right? From today onwards, you'll be following me."

"Follow you?"

Zhang Xiaomeng was taken aback upon hearing this.

Liu Qingrou said, "I don't trust you. You can only stay by my side."

Zhang Xiaomeng waved his hands repeatedly, "How can that be? I am not worthy of following you, young lady."

You have no choice.

Liu Qingrou's gaze was icy, revealing an unquestionable expression.

Zhang Xiaomeng pretended to be in a difficult position and feigned compromise, "Alright then, I'll go and tell the boss."

He wanted to take the opportunity to run away.

Liu Qingrou grabbed him.

Zhang Xiaomeng tried to break free, but found that the other person was very strong and he was completely unable to resist.

Depend on!

This woman knows martial arts!

"You'd better not try anything funny," Liu Qingrou warned.

Zhang Xiaomeng was filled with remorse.

I should have known better than to drink.

Liu Qingrou left a silver note as Niu Er's ransom.

At this time, it was just getting light, and everyone was still asleep, unaware that Chen Wenxuan had died in the room.

Liu Qingrou forcibly took Zhang Xiaomeng away through the back door, and no one noticed.

Walking down the street, Zhang Xiaomeng was preoccupied with how to escape, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

He realized the road led to the Tang residence and deliberately probed, "Miss, are you perhaps from the Tang family?"

"Do you know the Tang family?" Liu Qingrou asked as they walked.

"The Tang family is a leader in the literary world, of course I know that," Zhang Xiaomeng replied.

"Do you know if the Tang family has a son-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaomeng understood; they had come specifically for him.

He remained calm and nodded slightly. "Miss, you've come to the right person. I have the honor of meeting this Mr. Tang."

Liu Qingrou stopped and turned to ask, "Do you know his name? What does he look like?"

"His name is Lü Xiaobu. He is the most handsome man I have ever seen. He is so handsome that everyone loves him and flowers bloom for him."

Zhang Xiaomeng began shamelessly praising himself.

"Miss Tang was worried that his captivating face would attract unwanted attention, so she made him wear a veil whenever he went out. If I hadn't accidentally seen his true face, I wouldn't have believed that such a handsome man existed in the world. He..."

"stop!"

Liu Qingrou couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

"Did you receive any favors from him? Why are you praising him like that?"

Zhang Xiaomeng scratched his head. "No, I'm just telling the truth."

Liu Qingrou felt somewhat relieved.

Although Niu Er's statement was an exaggeration, it's certain that the other person is good-looking.

Huang Cheng told her to seduce the Tang family's son-in-law; if she was good-looking, she would be more successful in her task.

"Young lady, are you going to find the Tang family's son-in-law?" Zhang Xiaomeng asked.

"Um."

Liu Qingrou nodded.

Upon receiving confirmation, Zhang Xiaomeng immediately stopped her, saying, "Miss, you don't need to go."

"Why?" Liu Qingrou asked.

Zhang Xiaomeng lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Miss, you don't know this, but the son-in-law of the Tang family has a habit. He leaves the Tang residence on the sixth day of every month, which happens to be today. He's definitely not here now, so it's pointless for you to go."

Liu Qingrou questioned, "How do you know so much?"

Zhang Xiaomeng smiled and said, "I used to be a coachman, and I happened to pull him once. I chatted with him on the way and learned about it from him."

Liu Qingrou stared intently at Zhang Xiaomeng, trying to see if he was lying.

To distract her, Zhang Xiaomeng deliberately asked, "Miss, have you perhaps taken a fancy to a villain?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingrou blushed and quickly averted her gaze, warning him sternly, "Listen carefully! Nothing happened between us last night, and I would never be interested in you!"

Zhang Xiaomeng patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Liu Qingrou frowned deeply.

What's this guy's reaction? Is he actually looking down on me?

Zhang Xiaomeng's interference made her stop questioning his earlier statement and asked, "You know where the Tang family's son-in-law went, right?"

Zhang Xiaomeng nodded, "I understand."

"Alright, lead the way. If you really help me find him, you'll get your share of the rewards."

Liu Qingrou was secretly delighted. She had been racking her brains about how to meet the other party alone, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

At Zhang Xiaomeng's request, the two hired a horse-drawn carriage.

Zhang Xiaomeng originally wanted to take the opportunity to leave the city, but Zhao Changning had been searching for him frantically for the past few days, and the city gates were heavily guarded. If he showed his face, he would definitely be caught.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaomeng randomly pointed the coachman in a direction.

at the same time.

Tang Wan was drugged and didn't wake up until the next day.

She was deeply moved when she heard that Zhang Xiaomeng had gone to settle scores with Chen Wenxuan on his own to help her get revenge.

But I was more worried about his safety and wanted to run to find him immediately.

Tang Wenyuan stopped her, saying, "Wan'er, don't worry. I've already sent people to protect him secretly. He'll be fine."

Tang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on leaving the manor, this wouldn't have happened. I've dragged Young Master Lü into this."

The maid Yue'er comforted her, "Miss, this shows that Young Master Lü cares about you a lot. You must take care of yourself and not worry Young Master Lü."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan seemed to have made a decision, and her gaze suddenly became very firm.

"Father, Young Master Lü has saved me twice, and I have no way to repay him. Please allow me to offer myself to him in marriage; I will marry no one else."

Tang Wenyuan was also very satisfied with Zhang Xiaomeng's character, and given his exceptional talent, he immediately nodded in agreement, "It's rare to find someone as loyal and righteous as my friend Lü. I don't object to you two being together. When he returns, I'll help you sound him out."

Tang Wan was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Thank you for your kindness, Father."

Just then, a servant rushed in to report, "Master, something terrible has happened!"

Tang Wenyuan hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The servant replied, "We just received news that Chen Wenxuan died in Yixiang Courtyard."

Tang Wenyuan's expression changed. He hadn't expected Zhang Xiaomeng to be so ruthless, actually killing Chen Wenxuan directly.

Tang Wan's heart tightened, and she anxiously asked, "Where is Young Master Lü? Is he alright?"

"Our men kept watch at Yixiang Courtyard all night, but they didn't see Young Master Lü come out. We don't know where he went."

Tang Wenyuan frowned deeply and quickly ordered, "Immediately send more people to search. No matter what, we must ensure Young Master Lü's safety."

"Yes."

The servants quickly left.

Tang Wan said worriedly, "Father, Young Master Lü did this for my sake. You must not let anything happen to him."

"I'll go to the crime scene right now."

Tang Wenyuan dared not delay and rushed to Yixiang Courtyard.

now.

Liu Qingrou and Zhang Xiaomeng had been traveling around the city for half a day in the carriage.

Liu Qingrou couldn't help but ask, "How much longer until we arrive?"

"Almost there, almost there, we'll be there soon."

Zhang Xiaomeng gave a perfunctory reply, thinking about how to escape the whole way.

Suddenly, Liu Qingrou saw a figure flash by and immediately shouted to the coachman, "Stop!"
