Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 226: Fake concern

He closed his fan and seriously looked at Ming Cong "Well since you asked nicely" Chen Zhang Yong said with a hidden meaning to his voice.

'Nicely?' Ming Cong almost mockingly responded loudly. However, he was more concerned about the were about of his daughter than had a wasteful conversation.

Chen Zhang Yong released a heavy sigh and looked at Ming Kong seriously, "I am sorry to say this Master Ming, but your daughter is already in the Underworld." He spoke in a fake grieving tone.

"That could not be!" Ming Kong yelled loudly. Ming Cong's face turned ashen. He then suddenly closed his eyes tightly. It was his only so he could stop the possibility of shameful tears to fall. He could not accept it, but there was no use joking about this matter 

"I am sorry for your loss." Chen Zhang Yong added. Earlier, he deliberately said Underworld as Ming Ya is just a fake flower in his eyes.

He could even bet with his right leg that the woman was now being punished in the Underworld. Most likely, on the eighteenth level of the Tower of Doom where those who had sinned the most were being punished severely for all eternity.

"Your Highness, where is her body?" Ming Cong uttered silently. Regardless of the reason for her death, she still deserves to be buried the Ming ancestral valley. Even if his daughter committed a mistake, no one should take her life just like that.

 This was his thought. If he learned more details regarding her death, what would he think by then?

Also, if Chen Zhang Yong will confirm that Ming Ya broke the law that the Justice Affairs protects, there was no way for him to take revenge.

Probably, Ming Cong could only silently grieve for her only daughter's death and curse the beings that caused it.

Chen Zhang Yong titled his head as if he was thinking. "Where is her body? The last I remember, it was outside the Wei courtyard in Mount Hua. Do not know what happened to it after." He answered casually. This was not a lie, but not the entire story.

If the perverted Deacon did not call him back, Chen Zhang Yong would try to get the body and used it for experimental purposes.

Since he did not know how Ming Ya's appearance looked so old compared to him, he wanted to make sure and learn how it happened by experimenting with the body himself.

And despite knowing that the dead old woman might not be Ming Ya since they looked entirely different, Chen Zhang Yong will not mention that.

Where was the fun in that?

Then he added seriously. "Wei Jiayi did a very good job of swiftly removing her head from her body." For Chen Zhang Yong it was suspiciously like they were trying to hide something.

"Wei Jiayi Prince Wei?! He killed my daughter?!" Ming Cong exclaimed, how dare him, a bastard prince touch her daughter. Removing her head from her body?!

Ming Cong's body shook with rage. It did not take a while for him though to respond and ask, "Why would he do that?" He whispered.

Shrugging his shoulder, "Don't know," Chen Zhang Yong answered seriously and paused quickly, to stop himself to almost accidentally say, 'Don't care.'

Chen Zhang Yong was not sure why the woman died and what Wei Jiayi's exact reason for doing it. They were not in the real brotherly terms after all so there was no need to bother with it.

Ming Cong bowed slightly to the prince to show his courtesy and slight gratitude, "We appreciate your concern and giving time to relay this information to us, Your Highness. Now let me deal with this." he said with firmness. 

The emperor had shown favor the prince since way back despite Wei Jiayi's questionable origin. Because of that, they were cautious in dealing with him.

However, because of his daughter's death, regardless of the reason why Wei Jiayi had done it, he will not let him get away with it!

Chen Zhang Yong nodded seriously and left. There was no reason for him to stay since it already achieved his goal.

The moment the Ming family's door closed behind him, the triumphant smile on his face appeared. He did not care anymore if Ming Cong really believed his fake concern.

Instead, he was looking forward to watching the show that would happen in the palace soon.

Mount Hua, Wei Place Hidden Courtyard

He was not speaking, but she was losing her patience. "Wei Jiayi, I do not know what your problem is, but can you, please, leave me alone?" Gao Lan Mei finally asked with a voice laced with annoyance.

Since the time they got back at the courtyard, he followed her everywhere. He was still in the impression that something bad might happen again.

Gao Lan Mei was thinking about this. That was why she was preparing for it in her own way.

She could still remember his quick movement to leave the place at the time when the attack happened.

As soon as the ritual circle disappeared, he immediately grabbed her to go back, not even giving her a chance to pull out the acupuncture needles on her face.

Gao Lan Mei did not want to let him know that she was fine if she can already use spiritual energy. That means dual cultivation was once again.

And with the way he constantly tried to keep her close, Gao Lan Mei was sure that if he learned about it, what happened last night would happen again.

'I don't think I can handle that soon' Gao Lan Mei thought to herself as she refocused her mind on what she was doing.
