Chapter 435: Sending Them to See King Yama

435. Chapter 435 Sending Them to See King Yama

Upon hearing that, Shi Lin signaled An Yi to leave, and he pulled Qiao Sheng down to sit and said, "That's right, I've been sending people to keep an eye on King Xuan's mansion; not only that, the concubine King Xuan took is also in league with me…"

"Ah?"

Qiao Sheng wore a face of surprise.

Shi Lin, fearing Qiao Sheng might overthink, explained, "Madam, that woman is called Di Wu Lan Ge; the reason she cooperates with me is because King Xuan, when he was young, wronged her mother."

He didn't wait for Qiao Sheng to ask.

Shi Lin continued.

"King Xuan once truly loved a woman, but that woman loved someone else, then fell victim to a heartless man and eventually committed suicide. Ever since, the women King Xuan seeks all look like her, yet he loves none of them…"

Qiao Sheng understood.

Her brows knit together: "If I take what you say, then Di Wu Lan Ge is King Xuan's daughter, and she is with King Xuan or his son, this…"

Hearing Qiao Sheng say that,

Shi Lin let out a snort of laughter.

"What nonsense are you, girl, thinking about? Di Wu Lan Ge is indeed King Xuan's daughter, but she is not with any of them."

"She is skilled in medical knowledge; even if they are together, it's because she uses hallucinogenic Medicine to make them think they're with her…"

Learning that it was so.

Qiao Sheng asked Shi Lin, "What do you and Di Wu Lan Ge plan to do with King Xuan and his group? King Xuan is her father; can she really act against him?"

Seeing her say that,

Shi Lin replied, "How to deal with them? They've committed so many evils, so naturally we will send them to see King Yama. Di Wu Lan Ge's mother was injured when giving birth to Di Wu Lan Ge, never married, died in melancholy; do you think she could spare them?"

Indeed.

Qiao Sheng's questions came one after another; after a short while she thought of another question.

"How did you learn about her? And how did you get in touch with her?"

Shi Lin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Well, if others wanted to know, I certainly wouldn't tell them, but you are my daughter‑in‑law, so I will definitely tell you."

Tell her, then.

Qiao Sheng was eager to press him.

Can't he just be straightforward?

Ask a question and answer it yourself!

Shi Lin perhaps saw through it.

He stopped talking about anything else and went straight to the point: "Actually, I started having people investigate King Xuan's family long ago, but only recently have I gotten news, thanks to my brother helping me investigate. You already know what An Yi and his group are like; besides, I have many tasks, so most of the time they follow me…"

"I see."

Qiao Sheng smiled and praised Shi Lin, commending his excellent work.

Shi Lin leaned in, "Daughter‑in‑law, these verbal praises are insincere; why not, you kiss me…"

That guy.

Qiao Sheng planted a kiss on him.

One kiss wasn't enough.

Shi Lin pulled Qiao Sheng into his arms.

Seeing him become increasingly restless, Qiao Sheng, wondering what An Yi might be doing outside, pushed him away: "Stop fooling around; besides the fact this is a study and it's still daytime, outside…"

"Don't worry, no one will come in without my permission."

Shi Lin's eyes showed unabashed desire.

Qiao Sheng still didn't agree, "That's still not okay, An Yi…"

Shi Lin directly ordered An Yi to stay farther away.

Otherwise Qiao Sheng would still have something to say.

Shi Lin shut all doors and windows tightly, then carried her inside.

Qiao Sheng only then noticed there was also a bed in his study.

Dusk.

When Shi Jin and the others came back, they didn't find Qiao Sheng, so they all inquired. They heard she was in the courtyard they lived in, set the book chest down, and walked toward that courtyard.

When they arrived,

Shi Lin happened to be walking out of the courtyard they lived in.
