Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: Chapter 741: Return to the Mansion_1

Back then, King Liang had fallen into the Crown Prince’s trap, drugged... that was why he dishonored their Commandery Princess. This led to the marriage between King Liang and Liu Ruofu, which Wang Qiulu knew. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

"I heard that the next day, when King Liang sneaked out of Master Wang’s residence through the back door, do you know who was waiting for him at the back door? It was the Princess of Zhen..." Li Mingrui saw Wang Qiulu’s face turn increasingly unpleasant but still spoke with that gentle, jade-like tone, "So tell me, who did the Crown Prince entrust this matter to? Who was humiliated at the palace banquet because of Liu Ruofu and King Xian, eager for revenge?"

What Li Mingrui said was his speculation about what had happened after learning that Liu Ruofu had personally sent away the child in her belly. But regardless of whether it was a guess or not, Li Mingrui wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Wang Qiulu’s heart.

This time, if Wang Qiulu did not betray the Princess of Zhen, who knows, the Princess of Zhen might save Wang Qiulu and even put him to good use.

Given Wang Qiulu’s deep affection for Liu Ruofu, wouldn’t he find an opportunity to trip up the Princess of Zhen? Hard to say...

"Later on, it was also Lu Ping, the guard beside the Princess of Zhen, who took the Patrol Camp people to capture Liu Ruofu!" Li Mingrui stopped in his tracks and looked at Wang Qiulu, who had his eyes closed to rest. "But at that time, they only caught Liu Ruofu, not the Hidden Guard beside Liu Ruofu. Later... I heard they caught quite a few Hidden Guards from Nandu, but there were still a few who got away! General Wang, if you have the chance to meet them in the future, you should ask well."

As soon as Li Mingrui finished speaking, he heard footsteps. He turned to look down the dim, narrow corridor of the prison. The shadows cast by the torchlight behind him stretched towards this direction. He pursed his lips and turned to look in that direction.

It was Shen Qingzhu, dressed in sharp attire, hands behind her back, walking slowly to the cell door. She looked at Li Mingrui with cold, disdainful eyes and signaled the prison guard to leave.

The prison guard bowed, carrying a lamp, and left first.

Shen Qingzhu looked at Li Mingrui with cold eyes: "Our Bai family’s eldest daughter asked me to tell you. She offers you two paths. Either stop playing tricks and live peacefully, or the Nine Clans of the Li family will all go on the road together. The more, the merrier."

Shen Qingzhu turned her gaze to Wang Qiulu, who had opened his eyes and was standing up. Then she returned her stare to Li Mingrui: "It seems... there is no need to ask. You chose the crowded road."

Li Mingrui’s face turned white, he bit down on his teeth, narrowing his eyes at Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu’s serious expression made it hard for Li Mingrui to judge whether her words were mocking or not.

"Yes, it was our eldest daughter who sent Lu Ping to capture Liu Ruofu. But who used Liu Ruofu as a gift to surrender to our eldest daughter’s favor?" Shen Qingzhu’s tone was steady, without a hint of emotion, "I hope Minister Li’s act of confusing right and wrong works with the King of Hell!"

Shen Qingzhu finished speaking and turned to leave.

Li Mingrui’s expression was tense, his eyes darkened. He didn’t speak until the footsteps had died away, "Old Man! Stop her!"

Wang Qiulu watched a black shadow leave and looked toward Li Mingrui, "You have someone in the prison!"

Before Li Mingrui could respond, he heard the footsteps of a prison guard with a weapon. Li Mingrui’s palms tensed, but he saw those prison guards open the cell door opposite him and say, "Wang Qiulu... come out. The Crown Prince wants to see you!"
