After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 394: Front Edge (63)

"Yeah." Liu Qiuwu didn't stop and walked straight in, fearing that he would not be able to control his emotions and expose them.

In the following period of time, Liu Qiuwu immersed himself in business, and it was difficult for Liu Jinsheng to see him.

So he went to the two elders and tried to curry their favor, hoping that they would agree to this matter, or perhaps put pressure on Liu Qiuwu.

The result was not satisfactory. After all, the Liu family is not limited to Liu Qiuwu.

The Liu family is a large and powerful family with many connections. They can handle small profits on a regular basis, but if it is something so big that it affects one's bones and muscles, he will not be able to do it.

Even Liu Qiuwu has to bear enormous pressure and risks.

However, Liu Jinsheng seemed very anxious. After his elders failed to help him, he went back to find Liu Qiuwu and went there very frequently.

Unfortunately, he was refused entry every time, and even his attempts to force his way in failed. When he finally tricked Madam Liu into coming over as the gatekeeper, he was told by the steward that the young master had gone out to discuss business.

Liu Qiuwu certainly didn't go there to discuss business. He and Li Jingran went to Liujia Village and confirmed with their own eyes that his sister was buried on this land, and that Liu Ze was definitely his nephew.

After learning what happened to his nephew, Liu Qiuwu felt nothing but regret and hated himself for not investigating more. If he had known it was him, he would not have stood idly by.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Seeing how depressed he was, Li Jingran tried to comfort him by saying that it was not entirely his fault, as it was just the unpredictable nature of life. He should cheer up as Liu Jinsheng was still waiting for him to deal with it.

Liu Qiuwu was still depressed after hearing this.

Seeing that he was still unmoved, Li Jingran said that if Liu Jinsheng had not framed him and occupied the position of "nephew" first, he might have recognized Liu Ze long ago.

Besides, the Liu family also needs him very much. If he fails to recover, it will only allow the enemy to succeed. Also, the breach of the border town’s defense is too strange. That is the real reason that killed his nephew. Is he ignoring all these?

Of course we should!

However, they would definitely not find any problems by just investigating Liu Jinsheng, so after discussing, they decided to stabilize Liu Jinsheng first, and then send people to investigate his fiancé's family, that is, the Jin family.

The Jin family came in and out, and it seemed like there was no problem, but the two men had been lying dormant for so long that they really caught a glimpse of them.

It turns out that the Jin family would deliberately disrupt people's sight, and then let a very inconspicuous person go to contact others. The person who contacted him would also pass the message to two to three people, and the last person would bring the message back.

When Liu Qiuwu and Li Jingran learned that someone had entered the eldest prince's residence, their expressions instantly became solemn.

So Liu Jinsheng is actually the eldest prince's man? Is it the eldest prince who wants to swallow up their Liu family? Then he thought about how his own nephew was forced to the border town by this man, and the gushing anger rolled in Liu Qiuwu's chest, like a boiler that could explode at any time.

Since it involves the royal power, Liu Qiuwu doesn't want Li Jingran to get involved in this matter.

Li Jingran refused, saying that when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact. The eldest prince was insidious and vicious, and had no mercy in his heart. Even if his father did not take sides now, he would not be able to escape unscathed in the end.

Liu Qiuwu couldn't persuade him, and after giving the other party the cold shoulder for a while, he found that the other party was still as stubborn as usual, so he gave up.

While they were thinking about how to deal with the situation, Ling Chuan followed the young man, who had changed his appearance, back to the capital. The young man didn't look for anyone and stayed in an inn.

The boy has changed. He has become cold, quiet and unwilling to laugh. His lively eyes, which once held dazzling light, have become as dark as a pond in an icy December sky, making one feel suffocated.

Ling Chuan felt so distressed. It turned out that the person left behind would be so painful...

At the Liu family, Liu Jinsheng, who seemed to sense that something was wrong, exploded because of Liu Qiuwu's constant delay, and wanted to use radical methods to force Liu Qiuwu to submit.

He accused Liu Qiuwu of not taking him seriously from the beginning and had been lying to him all along. However, he never expected that Liu Qiuwu would directly say that he really had no say in the matter. Then he frowned and said that the Jin family had too big an appetite. He didn't know what kind of magic potion the kid from the Jin family had fed him. This man started to instigate him before he even got married. It was obvious that they were not from a good family. It seemed that this marriage was still subject to discussion.

Liu Jinsheng, with tears in his eyes, was dumbfounded when he heard this, as if he couldn't understand why it was different from what he had imagined.

Liu Jinsheng still wanted to make a fuss, but Liu Qiuwu locked him up for mischief and told him to reflect on his mistakes and stop trying to be unreasonable. He should come out when he has thought things through.

If Liu Qiuwu wanted to lock up Liu Jinsheng, he would naturally be reported to the two elders by the hidden spies.

After hearing what happened, the two elders called Liu Qiuwu over. The spies thought that they were here to support Liu Jinsheng and felt relieved. However, they ended up just giving Liu Qiuwu a few words of instruction, asking him to be sensible.

The spies were helpless and had to tell the Jin family the news. But what was the point of telling the Jin family? The elders were disciplining the younger generation, so it was not their turn to interfere. Going there would only bring more bad luck. They had no choice but to send someone to send the news to the eldest prince's mansion.

When Liu Qiuwu and Li Jingran learned that the news was sent to the eldest prince's mansion again and again, they basically believed that Liu Jinsheng and the Jin family were the eldest prince's people.

However, this conclusion was shaken soon after because someone came to Liu Qiuwu and said that it was the eldest prince's intention.

The person who came was none other than Qiao Wenjin, who followed the eldest prince's lead.

This surprised Liu Qiuwu.

Qiao Wenjin said that the eldest prince really wanted to marry into the Liu family, and that if the eldest prince married Liu Jinsheng as his concubine, then when he inherited the throne, Liu Jinsheng would be the noble concubine, and he, Liu Qiuwu, would be the uncle of the emperor...

Hearing the other party's intention to win him over, Liu Qiuwu's mind turned.

If Liu Jinsheng was really someone the eldest prince had planted by his side, then what did it mean to marry her now?

Qiao Wenjin waited for a while before asking him what he thought.

Liu Qiuwu suppressed his thoughts and said with embarrassment that Liu Jinsheng liked the boy from the Jin family very much, and he also felt that he owed him a lot, so it seemed not a good idea to break them up abruptly.

Qiao Wenjin laughed when he heard this, saying that the eldest prince was a noble and noble man, how could a Jin family kid compare to him? If he was not suitable to come forward, they could completely settle it for him on the Jin family side, so he didn't need to worry.

Liu Qiuwu pretended to be hesitant, and after hesitating for a long time, he still said that he could not ignore Liu Jinsheng's wishes.

All in all, nothing is final.

Seeing the hesitation he deliberately expressed, Qiao Wenjin smiled and told him to think carefully about it and he would come back another day.

As soon as Liu Qiuwu sent Qiao Wenjin away, he went to Li Jingran to discuss the matter and asked him what he thought.

Li Jingran also said it was strange and he had no idea what the eldest prince was up to.

When the two were at a loss, Liu Jinsheng, who had just been released from confinement, came to Liu Qiuwu again and said that he would not marry anyone else but the boy from the Jin family in this life, otherwise he would be a mandarin duck with him on the road to the underworld.

This is a threat of death. Even if the eldest prince is putting on a show in front of him, there is no need to go to so much trouble, right?

There was a deep meaning in Liu Qiuwu's eyes. He told Liu Jinsheng that he did not agree, but he also hoped that he could understand that the eldest prince's family was the only one in power now, and he could not disagree if he wanted to, unless the eldest prince gave up the idea.

After hearing this, Liu Jinsheng calmed down and learned his lesson. He not only took the initiative to apologize to Liu Qiuwu, but also said that he did not understand the situation clearly and would change his noisy temper in the future.

Liu Qiuwu cooperated with him in acting, and praised him with satisfaction that he had become much more sensible. He also said that the reason he was strict with him was for his own good. He had doubts about the person he was about to entrust his life to, but he just hoped that the other party would not only value his identity, but also value others as well, so that they would treat him well sincerely.

After that, he gave Liu Jinsheng some valuable items. After all, you can't catch a wolf without giving away things.

Liu Jinsheng also pretended to be docile, nodding his head repeatedly, flattering his uncle for being the best to him, and then defended the Jin family kid, saying that he was not that kind of person, and that he didn't mind the fact that he had been married...

At present, it seems that Liu Jinsheng really does not want to marry the eldest prince as a concubine.

Liu Qiuwu felt that this was crucial.

Qiao Wenjin claimed to be the eldest prince's lobbyist. Even if he had ulterior motives, he could not influence the eldest prince to take a concubine. Otherwise, if the matter was exposed, it would be bad for both sides.

Furthermore, if they are really in the same group, they should be in collusion with each other.

Could it be that he was rejected by Jin's family and was looking for another good plan? One played the bad cop and the other played the good cop?

Or maybe, neither Liu Jinsheng nor the Jin family were the eldest prince's people? But how to explain why the news was often sent to the eldest prince's mansion?

Liu Qiuwu knew that he couldn't be impatient. On the one hand, he had already laid bait for Liu Jinsheng, and on the other hand, he also sent spies to infiltrate the eldest prince's mansion to find out what was going on.

The truth will be revealed sooner or later, but before that, he has to continue to pretend to be nice to them.

Liu Qiuwu originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but within a few days Qiao Wenjin changed his mind and said that the eldest prince would not break up the couple after learning that young Master Liu and the young master of the Jin family were in love with each other.

This statement is obviously not credible. The eldest prince wanted to win him over through marriage, so how could he not know that Liu Jinsheng had already been engaged to the boy from the Jin family? It was really strange that he intervened and then backed out in disappointment.

Secondly, although Qiao Wenjin tried his best to conceal it, Liu Qiuwu still saw the displeasure and irritability flashing in his eyes, so he asked the prince if he had encountered any troubles. Of course, he did not expect the other party to answer.

However, Qiao Wenjin said that Mr. Liu was indeed a businessman, as even this could not escape his eyes. Then he sighed softly and said that it was just a dog that did not bark normally and bit the corner of her skirt, which was not a big deal.

Liu Qiuwu smiled upon hearing this and just said, "So that's how it is." But seeing that he didn't look like he was fine, he said that it was just a dog, and since he couldn't tame it, he could just ask the servants to catch it and beat it to death, saving him the trouble.

Qiao Wenjin was pleased with his words, and said with regret that the dog was quite loved by the eldest prince. Then she changed the subject and began to convey the rest of the eldest prince's meaning.

That is, even if the two families do not marry, as long as the Liu family stands on their side, it will not be a dream for Liu Qiuwu to be promoted to a higher position, and it will not be a dream for him to enjoy wealth and glory in the future.

Liu Qiuwu's excitement was more obvious, but he still didn't agree outright. Seeing that he was gradually falling for him, Qiao Wenjin claimed that she understood the principle of visiting him three times, and before leaving, she smiled and said she was waiting for his good news.

As soon as he left, the smile on Liu Qiuwu's face disappeared and his expression turned cold.

It seems that it is hard to say whether Liu Jinsheng is the eldest prince's man.

Li Jingran also thought so when he learned about it. However, before they could find the answers they wanted, news spread from the palace that the old emperor's condition had worsened.

In an instant, the situation in the court became extremely tense, and even the sky above the capital seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds, weighing on everyone's heart.

Today, I'm afraid things are going to change.

"Is there still no news from over there?" Li Jingran asked Liu Qiuwu, with a look of fatigue between his brows.

Liu Qiuwu pinched his brows and shook his head, saying no, then put his hand down and raised his eyes to ask him: "What happened to you?"

Li Jingran said helplessly: "My father is going to stand with the eldest prince."

Liu Qiuwu's pupils shrank slightly, "Master Li, has he... thought it through?"

"Who knows him. Qiu Wu, he is him and I am me. I won't be with them. I have left the family tree." Li Jingran said, staring into his eyes.

"What? Out of the family tree?" Liu Qiuwu's eyes widened, obviously shocked by his last sentence.

"Yeah." Li Jingran responded indifferently, "Actually, it's okay to be out of the family tree. My father has said more than once that he wants to sever ties with me."

"Is it because of me? Actually, you don't have to, I..."

"Yes and no, Qiu Wu, I don't like the methods used by that faction, so you don't have to think too much about it. We just need to be willing to take responsibility for our own choices."

"Aren't you afraid that I will also join them?" Liu Qiuwu asked back.

Li Jingran smiled and said, "Everyone can do it, but I know you can't. How are you going to deal with them next? They probably can't wait any longer."

"I can't keep pretending." Liu Qiuwu sighed, thought for a moment and said with a firm look: "I want to go and pay a visit to Prince Xian. Perhaps, I should have gone a long time ago."

"Then go ahead." Li Jingran said.

As far as Prince Xian stopped the burning of the city, requested granaries for the refugees, and executed many corrupt officials, he was more than a little better than the eldest prince.

However, going to meet Prince Xian was tantamount to announcing their answer to the eldest prince, but the two of them could not care less.

This time, Liu Qiuwu went straight to the point and asked King Xian whether "himself" and the young man were his people.

King Xian neither denied nor admitted it, he only said that "he" and his younger brother were both good soldiers and citizens of the Dayuan Kingdom.

Liu Qiuwu didn't think there was anything wrong with his reaction, so he revealed his own secret first, saying that the young man was his biological nephew, and Liu Jinsheng was just a counterfeit who had taken over his position!

Not only that, this person also has an inseparable relationship with the Jin family and the eldest prince. Finally, Prince Xian couldn't help but ask him, doesn't he look like the young master?

Yes, of course... Qiao Ruicheng and Yu Shuche were both stunned. They didn't expect that the two had such a deep bond.

With Liu Qiuwu's introduction, Li Jingran also recounted his story from when he suspected the young man's identity to when he confirmed his identity.

Then Liu Qiuwu told the prince all about Liu Jinsheng, the Jin family, and Qiao Wenjin, who were sent by the eldest prince to win him over. He said there must be something fishy going on, and if Prince Xian didn't believe it, he could check it out.

It was impossible for Qiao Ruicheng and Yu Shuche to believe their one-sided words. After all, one of them had taken refuge with the eldest prince, and the other was close to the eldest prince's people.
