âIndeed, the Seventh Prince has always been working hard, and his humble and polite image has also been deeply rooted in the peopleâs hearts.â Zhou Huaiming echoed.
If it werenât for his subordinateâs report that the Seventh Prince had gone to the teahouse with those officialsâ young masters too many times recently, he wouldnât have discovered the Seventh Princeâs ambition.
Moreover, he had the Yan family as his backer, so it was not as if he did not have a chance of winning.
âThis subordinate has failed in his duty. I really did not pay attention to the Seventh Prince.â Butler Feng quickly bowed and said.
âItâs fine. Pay more attention to him in the future and be on guard against him.â
âI understand.â
At night, Zhou Ying, who was busy harvesting wheat in her interspace, suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. After confirming that the protective talisman she had placed was broken, she immediately checked the patriarchâs house through the Mother God Temple.
After confirming that they were fine, she quickly found Magu.
As expected, Magu had already been tied up by the coachman, who was looking at the stone in his hand with a dumbfounded expression.
He couldnât understand why the stone didnât kill Magu. Instead, the stone was cracked.
Magu was obviously frightened as well, but she was not in the mood to care about this. Instead, she looked at the coachman and asked, âWang Mazi, what happened to you?
âIâve been taking care of you all these years. Even if you want my life, you have to let me know whatâs going on.â
âDonât; Iâm not worthy of your care.
âAs for the reason, you havenât forgotten about the fire five nights ago, right?
âYou are probably out to no good today, right?â
âI donât understand what youâre talking about. Your house burning down has nothing to do with me.â Magu shook her head.
âStop acting dumb. I saw your face that night. It was you who walked to my bed, knocked over the oil lamp, and set my house on fire.
âIf I didnât have a trace of consciousness and crawled out of the back window in a daze, I would have died in the sea of fire.â
When Magu heard that her nephew was not mentioned, she no longer argued with him.
Since her nephew was gone, she had nothing to worry about, so whether she died or not didnât make any difference.
âIt really is you.â As the coachman said this, his eyes sharpened. He raised the stone in his hand again and smashed it at her head with all his might.
Seeing this, Magu closed her eyes.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she quickly knocked them unconscious with her divine sense.
However, the stone still landed on Maguâs head, directly hitting her face and leaving a big bruise.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she directly took them in through the space.
She also drugged them to keep them knocked out.
After he was done with his work, Gu Chengrui saw the two people lying on the ground. He looked for Zhou Ying and asked, âBabe, who are those two people?â
âThat woman is Magu, an assassin working for the Lu family.
âAs for the man, he was the one who was almost burned to death. He was the coachman who sent us to the dock.â
âOh, itâs them. What are you going to do?â
âI want to lock them up for the time being and interrogate Magu to see if I can take down the Lu family in one fell swoop.
âBut where are we going to interrogate him?â
Gu Chengrui could not think of a suitable place after hearing that. After all, there were too many people at their residence. It was definitely not an appropriate place.
Also, he could not trouble King Rui with everything.
He hesitated for a moment and suggested, âWhy donât we throw them into the interspace for now? Weâll find a deserted place to interrogate them tomorrow.â
âI guess thatâs the only way.â Zhou Ying responded, and the couple tied them up tightly.
Furthermore, Gu Chengrui feared they would wake up halfway, so he drugged them again.
After the couple were done with their work, they quickly left the interspace..
